A Nigerian man has taken to social media to lament after the N10,000 electricity unit he purchased finished within a week.



In a post shared on his Instagram page, the Nigerian man lamented he purchased the electricity unit last week and by September 13, he was surprised to see that the unit had finished.

‘’I don't see the reason why I would recharge and within a week, N10,000 is gone. What is going on? Where are we going in this country? What is wrong? We cannot buy fuel, we cannot buy light'' he said while lamenting

Wait

Keep giving him "due respect" while he steals disrespectfully

To start your grievance with "with due respect" shows you're not yet serious.

When you're serious, we'll know.

I personally don't have a problem with the price of electricity, though I can understand that the experience of those in Band A is probably different.

I have always used electricity judiciously, so any pre paid electricity I buy tends to last for a reasonable length of time.

I have always been fastidious about switching off all gadgets FROM THE WALL.

First thing I do when I get out of bed is to pull my curtains so I take advantage of natural light. So, most if not all internal lights are off for most parts of the day unless I absolutely need it.

If I am leaving a room and not returning to that room within 5 mins, I switch off the light. Lights in any room that is not occupied is always switched off.

These are just habits that have become part of my routine. I don't do them because of electricity bill, but it has a very positive effect on my electricity bill. I have not bought electricity for about 3 months now, so cost of electricity is really not an issue for me.

Many Nigerians use electricity wastefully because we have one of the cheapest electricity prices in the world. But that is going to change with the introduction of new bands.

It's not easy with IKEJA ELECTRIC ON BAND A oooo!

100 Units is N22,543.78 now!

And we do have light for between 23.8 - 24 hours daily! Sometimes they won't take the light at all for days!
This started about two months ago!

Isn't it now a source of revenue from the Citizens to the Government?

Re: Nigerian Man Laments As N10,000 Electricity Unit Runs Out Within A Week (video) by Sunnymatey(m): 2:10pm On Sep 16, 2024
Sorry dear
The govt hands off from subsidising electricity for Nigerians and I think they have the right to take such decision.

On our part, we must think of the most effective and prudent ways of allocating our scarce resources to meet our daily needs.
That is the new Nigeria.

Electricity Unit is not about time but depends on use. There are places 10k electricity units won't last 24 hours. Just like saying you bought 10k airtime and it got finished in 2 days. No be you use am?

We don't need bands. It is a fraudulent approach. Make electricity available to all at an average rate. Many people in the band A are not rich.

It seems you are single. A family circle consumes more, no matter what
