I think they're cheating us here in ogun state. If we recharge 5k, they remove as much as 3k and give us like 40 units, even though we pay like 20k regularly before getting the metre
yes, that is how they steal.

If everyone are using prepaid, what's the essence of categorisation into bands. This is daylight robbery on people on Band A consumers who were already paying high from more hours of electricity consumed
God bless you. What type of stupidity is fueling Nigeria? The whole point of the meter is to regulate usage. The elites and industries are already paying more because they definitely use more appliances. You can't just increase by band because there are some people that are poor and accidentally in Band A.
Such a rash decision acting like they have a database of all Nigerians and their salary.
This thing really affect me.

Lies. Stop saying what you don't know. I get 20 units for 1k. I'm aware it's even a wrong tarrif which I have already complained and it's being worked on. My co tennant gets 160 units for 5k
How you conclude that it's lies is something that I don't understand. Anyways, in the coming days, I'm sure I won't be the only one affected by this, so let me hold my peace for now and watch.

That's another issue and another way to be milking people. For people that don't know about the unit they get Prices, that is how they will be rob. Why would someone be in band C and be charge as band A when recharging. Is anyone here in band A that is charge as band C or B when recharging? I guest none. Useless criminals

The situation is currently same everywhere even for Band A Customers. I can't be on Band A and be seeing 30minute of light on alternating Days!
It's high time people consider an alternative in Solar/inverter Energy. Obviously, the Discos have failed totally in their primary responsibility!
This is not true. On AEDC platform, those on band A feeders have been enjoying 24 hrs supply since the announcement of the new tariff regime. The downside is that, those on Band B and lower bands have not been getting the minimum hours of supply they're supposed to be getting.

E go still need am now, not like it's gonna waste.
I did the same experiment with 5k the next morning following the announcement of new tariff and I was given 50 units at old rate. By afternoon that same day, new tariff had been implemented! Had I known, I would have done additional experiment with far larger amount of money that morning. Now, the opportunity has gone!

May God help us all.
