How can you call it theft, while the people in government are the real thieves. Can any small scale business cope with this high cost of tariff. Is it not wickedness. How do you encourage SMES? Let’s be realistic without tribalism

This is one major crime that is pulling this country behind, but lets us keep blaming the leaders.

Electricity theft and bypass is not new. Even from the days of meter reading, it was happening. Its effective because NEPA Officials are also part of it. It maybe worse now because of the high cost of electricity tarriff

And they want this country to be better. Both dubious leaders and fraudulent followers.

Nigerians in the Diaspora will not dare do this.

Electricity in poor neighbouring Benin Republic is over N600 per KwH.

Average cost in European countries is 40 cent per KwH. That is N700 per kilo watt hour.

Nigeria is at N220 per KwH and some saboteurs are already gaming the system. How will there be electricity when there is no revenue?

On the other hand you shout of hunger (in a country filled with vaste fertile land), protest of bad leaders. How will the country get better? How?

Failed country loading.....

Somalia will be a child's play.

Energy theft too much, IKEDC laments

“Work closely with law enforcement agencies to ensure swift prosecution of theft-related crimes and to deter potential offenders.”


Some of those stealing electricity are here right now reading this investigative report that exposes their crimes. Repent of your crime today.

Normal things are never normal in this country.
Nigeria will need a pioneer to reintroduce it's own special Education, Law, Religion, Economy, Government etc tailored specifically toward it's local citizens leaning before anything can work in these country.

Is the light not belongs to the country, do you know how much money is budgeting for power year in year out without anything to show? Will the starving people have the money to pay amid the tariff increase? Where are the Yahaya Bello and Emefiele that stole billions of dollars? Why are some heartless people behave as if the light is their father's property?

Good evening, well-meaning Nigerians.

Please, I need your help Sir/Ma.

My name is Olaoluwa. I am 32 years old and an O-Level holder. I had a car accident last year, lost my job, and became jobless for months.

Please help me; I am seriously hungry. The last time I ate was Thursday evening, and it was my remaining garri that I drank. I have not eaten any other food since Thursday evening other than the water that I have been drinking to gain some strength. I can no longer endure the hunger; my body is starting to shake. Please, my people, I am really sorry for begging, but it is just that I am starving to death. Please, someone should help me with something to eat, no matter the amount. I don't mind. I will always appreciate you. I am starving. I know things are very hard these days. Anything you have to spare, I would really appreciate it.

I live at No 29, Kajola Street, Bode.Olude, Ita.Elega, Abeokuta, Ogun State.

If you live near me, please invite me for lunch; I am dying of hunger. May you never lack the good things in life. Please have mercy on me and help me.

My phone number is 0 7 0 1 8 9 7 4 5 8 3

Please help me with any amount, #600 will do a lot for me at this time.

Please, my bank details are:

Access Bank PLC
0 0 2 4 8 6 9 3 2 3
My name is Olaoluwa

Thank you very much. May God continue to bless and protect you. Amen


I want to sell my Tecno Pop 4.

Price: #30,000
Location: Abeokuta
Call: 0 7 0 1 8 9 7 4 5 8 3

Please buy my phone. I need to buy food, I am beginning to feel pain in my stomach.

Watch the massive support the fraudsters will get on this thread
shut up your mouth! Focus more on the politicians stealing away the common wealth of Nigeria.

Not some shit about a man who has no job and bypassed meter.

Tinubu and his useless policies has made everything hard for him, no food, no money, no job and you still want him to live without electricity.

You must be a wicked street arab!

The bill is too much. If it's affordable they wouldn't be pushed to steal.

OP,the Summary is that both the Users of illegal Connections and the Top Managers and Management of DISCOS are in collaboration,for no one dare go through the Power Sector, without the knowledge of the Sector.
The best the government can do is to Dismantle the whole DISCOS.
What Corruption has done to DISCOS in Nigerian -is why Everyday you can't he 24/7 Lights.
DISCOS,like NNPC are the reasons why we can't move forward.

Re: Uncovered: How Desperate Homes, Businesses Bypass Meters In Massive Electricity by lapintoz: 10:00pm On Jul 28, 2024
Are you kidding me? 220 million Nigerians buy transformer, poles, pre paid meter?

When I bought my meter, I got electricity credit as refund. Its how the system works.

If electricity theft is what you sow, you will certainly reap everlasting darkness !

No short-cut to economic development.

The story is in Punch Newspaper. It was done by an investigative journalist.

You must be the real propagandist......and am sure you must be a Labour Party supporter 😁
