Electricity Tarriff Hike: "AEDC Want To Send Me Back To The Village" by RandomFellow(op): 10:41am On Apr 04, 2024
I'm very sad this morning. I bought 10k worth of electricity units, and got only 41 units. I bought 5k worth last week Friday, and got 68units!!! I told a friend, and she decided to do 1k. Well... She got 4.1😭😭😭. We didn't even know we are on the BAND A! We barely get 12-15 hours of power daily. Some days, we don't even get 10 Hours! Ahhhh!!! AEDC, I don't want to be in Band A anymore 😭😭😭, take me to Band F! BAND Y seems like a good idea right now.

5k worth finishes with in a week or so in my house. I'm just an average random fellow on the street, trying to make ends meet.

I have to admit, being a good citizen doesn't pay anymore ooo... Ahhh... AEDC... 41 units for 10k? Are you trying to send me back to the village? Do you know how many jobs I have to do to raise that 10k? Is there something we should do that we are not doing? Tell us ooo, AEDC tell us what to do; because I'm not ready to start paying an upward of 70k for power in a month. I'm sorry, but you know what I'm planning right? No vex

Those bands exist. Some parts of town enjoy power supply more than others. Places with a high concentration of industries in a state are more likely to enjoy power more than middle-class residential areas. Highbrow residential areas are more likely to enjoy power more than slums.

However, the problem of our discos is that they will implement this new policy the Nigerian way, meaning that everyone is automatically in Band A grin

This government is after our lives.

I know that this Band A stuff is just to calm people down. At the end of the day, the tariff increase will touch everybody.

Corrupt leaders need the compliance of law-abiding citizens to fund their Corrupt lifestyle. Expect evil leaders to make unjust laws.

Awon, Ghana and other African country things is cheaper than Nigeria, afar na? I stayed in Ghana for close to 6years and the most we spent on light was 450cedis, no cap!!!
Places like Ga West municipal, Ghana, with estimated bill and 24 hours light pays 200-250cedis for light!
Before Tinubu administration go end, Nigeria will be the most expensive country to live in in the whole of Africa just watch!
Ghana minimum is 1400cedis, that close to 120k in naira!!!

There is very slim chance to get rich in Nigeria. Now I see why people rushed to UK for greener pastures.

Imaging paying 20k for darkness every month from your meagre salary. You still have to buy expensive food, expensive used clothes because many can't afford new one again. Expensive fuel, rent, water, DStv/GOtv etc.

Tell me how you want to have a savings from your small salary huh tongue tongue

Paying more than residents in USA.

The NERC tariff is a scam.

These guys are overvaluing the price of electricity.

In China, it is 7 cents per kwh.

How can you be managing to generate 5,000 megawatts and claim you pay trillions in electricity subsidies. That's another scam.

SCAM SCAM SCAM.
