More like no meter; free power! That would force the DISCOs to send meters across board. Fashola actually put out such law when he was minister for power but nigerians don't read the news nor know their rights.

Estimated billing has been made illegal since the past administration. We're a people that're used to being oppressed and begging same oppressors for a break. If nepa go areas where there are no meters and want to cut light; rather than band together and ask for prepaid meters, they start beggin the same NEPA that's in the wrong.

That's eye opening. Although I can't call it a law as long as the nerc act wasn't amended. Na Just "social Media Declaration", according to our prison officials .

princemaths:
Nigeria is an extremely poor country. Stop fooling yourself. Nothing rich about Nigeria

we still saying the same thing , things that other African countries pay , here we complain and yet want the best.

princemaths:
liar everyone pays that amount. Even those that don't see light. No one pays below 220kw/h. Prove me wrong and upload your electric bill or anyone you know paying such.

Like I said you all need to be stoned to death.

You don't need to be mad and angry over the simple fact that things cost money to make.

I am on Band A and I spend 1500 for 7.1 units every day. That is N45k per month on Electricity.

Tinubu has finished this country.

what are you saying? We pay more than most African countries. Even those with 24/7 light. No country in the world as poor as Nigeria taxes her citizens as much as this. None!

nairalanda1:
Not surprised.....the fact is after years of thinking power was cheap, we are waking up to the cold reality.

I'll leave this post i made earlier




The fact is, if we want power, we got to pay for it at high prices. But most of us don't want to because we won't be able to afford the prices needed to kick start the sector.

You seem to fall under the small percentage who do not understand that the power industries are scandalous. Them lot requesting disconnections are on teh estimated billing circle, Why wont they request to be disconnected .All they need do is go to prepaid meters then let us see how the so called Discos are going to make any money. No light you pay no bills, that's the way it should go, there is no way on earth where PHCN supplied power was going to be dearer than Generators adn Solar.

If you have power everyday then that's not xpenssive ,Try buying petrol to power your house

A305:
There is an alternative which is solar power. My best guess is those requesting disconnection intends to go the solar route because fuel is expensive as well.

It will only cost them inverter, battery and solar panel fee. Sun is free and it will remain free and inexhaustible.

If Nigeria was a functional country, we would have at least one NUCLEAR POWER plant.

How?

Sign a deal with Russian so they help us build it for free, Grant them license to run the operation of the power plant commercially till they recoup their money plus profit and hand over the power plant to Federal Government.

Ghana is thinking in that direction now. While us giant of Africa by GDP can't think in that direction.

We cannot afford Nuclear way too xpenssive to build.

AmalaAtiEwedu:
go developed countries go ask d same question.
no dey talk like olodo

there aint no band in the UK

So how will the Russians recoup their investments if consumers won’t pay for the power?

Disconnect the light and use generator.

Useless Nigerians with entitlement mentality.

How much will you spend on generator fuel for 18hrs if light everyday for 30 days?

So how about those that can afford it. It fair paying for darkness right when the infrastructure is not in place to deliver?

Which Disco do you work for sir ?

Shut up. I spent 4 years in South Africa and electricity was cheaper there.

The extra charge is not to make improvements, it is instead being looted by a few people, but fools like you will never know.

The state governor lives in my estate. If you see the kind of cars the kids of some naija politicians drive you will stop defending rubbish.

Mumu.

Would you let your customers set your prices for you?

maasoap:
Eventually, all consumers on estimated billing method will disconnect themselves while those of us who are using prepaid meters on band A have regulated our electricity use in such a way that it can't affect our pockets. The band A customers who are using electricity to satisfaction are those who bypass their meters or tampered with it.
Soon, both GENCO and DISCO will be facing dwindling income simply because people are not using enough electricity.
Why would B16H be paying N67 per unit while A20H be paying N209 per unit? A whopping difference of N140 because of imaginary 4 hours difference!

Is there even anything like band B again. They have migrated literally everyone to their imaginary band A.

I only see light from 7 PM to 5 AM on band A while other locations also on band A get at least 22 hours of supply. Talk about selective, e reach everywhere this shitty country.

Okey dokey....you can help Nigerians by setting up your own corruption free power company that would charge N10 per unit.

Good morning, comrade Ivanov.

We have been over this sir. Get things straight before setting your price.
You want to charge premium on dilapidated equipment you know can't satisfy everyone.

We now get light from 7 PM to 5 AM now on band A. How about artisans, would they still pay for using darkness to work.

I don't blame them, na the calamity parading himself as president I blame.

Also, where do you think the money is going to come from to fix the dilapidated things?

You guys better stop being abusive, and patronizing and face cold hard reality. Nothing to do with politics, apc and pdp, and everything to do with the fact that we have been underpaying for power for decades in the name of we are poor....and now we live with the results.

CodeTemplarr:
Great news in some ways. Before we were subsidising consumption and idleness.
People could afford to buy two litres to watch BBNAIJA and Telemundo series. Now it is strictly on a need basis. This will allow the use of power for more of production.

Some people say Nigeria has never done anything for them in their lifetime. These are the same set of people enjoying subsidies from education to electricity to petrol to dollars to pilgrimage etc. from the day they were born. Yet they act as ingrates.

Even those that collected cheap dollars through form A from CBN to pay for tuition fees abroad are cursing Nigeria as a country.

Yes you can curse the politician but not the country. Politicians ruin the country.

Now that Nigeria is not paying for subsidies again, all hell let loose.

So where's the balance? What's the percentage of Nigerians that can afford the light?

Mitsurugi:

Would you own a disco that sold power at 10 naira per kwh? Be honest.

But this is still better than living in the US & UK

Ask the Anti-Jakpa Crew !!!!

Good Luck to Nigeria.

That one sef enter. If commissioner of police can issue order and men on street do the exact opposite, wetin con be NEPA. The only body i detest less than them is NPF!

However, do you think the minister of power has the authority to instruct the NERC on power related activities? Cause, I think, if I'm not mistaken, we as a nation has already officially moved to prepaid metering. That was one of the reasons why the distribution arm was sold to seven private holders or so. Now, the onus falls on the DISCOs to fill the vacuum and distribute meters to customers that they collect money from.

See, it's simple. A simple desktop app can collect all the data of current customers on estimated and add the cost of the meter to the bill overtime...

MrAmbrose:
That is the best thing to do.

Most People are just managing to survive in this country and trying to impress their village People by living in a luxury estate, paying huge amount of money to rent one Big house.

you reason like a slowpoke.
Someone must have donated your brain to the gods for rituals that's why you comment stupidly

beyep:
5 months now i stopped using electricity i even tried to save up to buy inverter, I kept spending d money.

Thanks tinubu thank u well well

so how you dey take survive, charge your phones, watch and listen to news and stay updated?

don't mind them they're so stupid. Kenya sacked their vice president last 2 weeks why Nigerians are still here romancing bad leaders. It's a pity .

so it's a good thing to spend 80% of minimum wage on electricity alone. You do know some people salary isn't up to that.

He complains and you said it's entitlement mentality.

I don't blame I blame the person still feeding and housing you everyday that's why you're here yapping rubbish.
