I'm one of those customers bros

Since I installed solar and inverter, l don't even use NEPA light again starting August when they migrated us to Band A

I only buy 12k token monthly so that my inverter would charge after sunlight

That reduced my former monthly purchase of 25 to 30k

Now, a large number of Lagos residents on Band A only use light at night and that will drastically reduce income for NEPA as you opined

Soon, NEPA go hear am

Great choice.

Thunder faya disco and all the idiots supporting them

When thunder faya dem win go come give you light?

princemaths:
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!

Do you wonder why that is?

erico2k2:
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.

Demand far exceeded supply. They will make money with or without meters. Na you need light. They don't need you. Factories alone will consume the light

erico2k2:
there aint no band in the UK

How much does UK pay

MIKOLOWISKA:
Now what did the post say ppl are watching?

which previous post am reading?

what has the "previous post" got to do with these questions?

who are the "we" and how were the "we" subsidizing consumption and idleness?

what is wrong if people buy two litres to watch BBN and telemundo series?

what were you using your 2litres to watch?

is it what people used their two litres to watch that previously prevented the use of power for production?

will the power for production be used for free?

MIKOLOWISKA:
So you have no sensible answer?
No be me say make you lazy and unproductive o

A motor park ticket tout is looking for logical engagement when your last two comments came off as a confused idiot with the intelligence of a 7- year old with down syndrome?

You're operating with the intelligence of a fishmonger and the cognition of a motelyfool.

When you can put two sentences together logically, I'll know what to do with you.

If I don't reply your next comment, realise you have been disengaged because your brain cell is apparently smaller than your girlfriend's clitoriz and I don't have the patience or skill to do a back and forth with a certified idiot!!!!

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.

Sun is free abi !
You will see how we will Tinubutax you for it, just wait.

MIKOLOWISKA:
But it's not criminal to bypass meter and threaten Nepa staff that comes to disconnect? They should be giving you free electricity?

What are we saying what is this one saying? Some of you are so illogical and foolishly emotional to be engaged in any sensible debate. So because people bypass meter, you should then not give them meter, or how is your arguments logically related to what I wrote? Mr., if people bypass meter, impose stipulated punishment on them, it is not a reason why you should criminally impose prepaid bill on people. By the way, most time your phcn staff albeit those who bypass, fish those out too and punish them. Don't come here to twist logic on its head, if you go to school at all, be rational and logical with your argument. Compare only things that are similar and related.

MIKOLOWISKA:
Now use it since you've been storing it. Or even sell it and make profit.

Sense is not on ur side

Racoon:
The tinubulation induced shege promax has hit them harder than anticipated. Elections has consequences

Lazy Nigerians. They want everything very cheap and subsidized so that they can live anyhow. We were shouting that we want constant electricity and we are ready to pay for it. Now we have it and we are complaining.

Go and ask Ghanaians and other countries.

MIKOLOWISKA:

you live in Nigeria right? and you seem not to know what the problems in the power sector is. Did you know the the impact of TCN b4 its dismissal?As things stands, the DISCOS are not collecting generated power from the Gencos and they in turn charge Estimated bill payers fortune for power not supplied. This on the flip side is killing the Gencos cos they don't get paid by the Discos this thievery is made possible by TCN.So as we speak the only way the Discos are making monies are via estimated billing with no new infrastructure in place to facilitate a real up to date power supply. So if the Discos return power to the Gencos where do you suggest the so called factories get power from?
However to solve this issue the Fg introduced a new Energy Bill which most of you would have heard of but failed to understand. You can now be a Genco and a Disco, but the problem there is the Cabals just as we have in the petrol and oil sector. AS we speak, factories do not rely on PHCN, They have their own Energy source.

MIKOLOWISKA:
what does hotel produce? what does your house produce
How many Nigerians can afford 12 million
Cheaper does not mean cheap.
A lambo is cheaper than a rolls Royce, doesn't mean you can afford it

You are asking howmany Nigerians can afford N12, is this a joke?mayB you duel in the wrong sections of nairaland
Come to the Property section please.
You asked what my house produce?
Well my house produces a conducive environment for my family
We get cool air when its really hot.
Produces a secure environment
We produce cooked food that we eat
We produce enough electricity to power the whole household
it produces power to power the TV, Washing machine ,Microwave, freezer, Hot water and light.
NB,I dont know your life situation but you must know this,if in 2024 you still earn N500K a month you are a poor man and this is FACT.

MIKOLOWISKA:
How much does UK pay

24.5P/kWh. That's the national average.

MIKOLOWISKA:
Are you the one that came up with that policy?
You're so used to free stuff you think it's your entitlement. SMH.
So you don't know the price but you came out frothing at the mouth? Apparently you don't Jon what you're talking about

SMH! You can't be helped. Okay, tell me what is the official pegged price since it was declared by the goverment that it was to be sold. Just tell me the price I can go use get one. I have a new property I'm developing in Agbor, delta... It will need one, kindly tell us the price since it was a commodity to be sold.

If you read the last sentence of this post from '17, you can see that you're bereft of info. It wasn't until when it was obvious that the DISCOs were bottle necking the process that it was made open to independent importers.

The federal government provided 39bn for discos to purchase meters with and DISTRIBUTE to their customers. Don't be foolish in a bid to defend a foolish goverment; you're better than that.

MIKOLOWISKA:
define logic. Paying less than market price for commodity?
Which argument is unwarped
The one that failed over 64 yrs
Free electricity is not possible ogbeni
Go and be productive and stop making noise

😁

What's sure is you are contracted to do exactly what you are doing... The question is by who??

If not...

No average Nigerian will ever argue in support of the current electricity tariff...

How is a single barber Shop getting a 250,000 bill a fair price to you?? To you that's the Market Price...Na Ogun go kill your Market Price!

And who exactly is asking for Free electricity??

You did well though...

Run along and continue enjoying your free MB

Thank you sir. Please, the free mb will soon finish... share some from the excess that you have sir.

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.

I think pre-paid meters can address the issue of collection availability. Make the pre-paid meters readily available and let customers pay as the use power. Simple....I think..

MIKOLOWISKA:

I'm not so sure about your post. I have a prepaid meter installed at my home and we just completed a 4-storey shopping complex with 48 pre-paid meters installed (1 per shop). So year, pre-paid meters are available. That said, things may be different with your region's DISCO.

MIKOLOWISKA:
Do you wonder why that is?

you're a big foool.

MIKOLOWISKA:
where did we defend bad leaders
Thank goodness you're one of the Nigerians who defends bad leaders.
Are you sure about that. Egypt that are afraid of walkie talkie ?
That's not a good country when you censor your own ppl from fear of being overthrown but you can always move to Egypt. Nobody is holding you

you have the Brain of a pig. Return that phone to the rightful owner. With your level of intelligence you can never afford a phone without stealing it.

yea it's Nigeria that have 24/7 light. If I were you I'll close my mouth because even Benin republic is in that list. And it's everywhere online

Why are you being upset for? just cos I pointed out the flaws in your borrowed post?

Large swaths of Ghana are facing power blackouts due to gas shortages at a major power facility, the nation’s power operator said, compounding the country’s worst economic crisis in decades.

“Limited gas supply” at a power installation in Tema, located east of the Ghanian capital, Accra, has led to “a supply gap of 550MW at peak time,” the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) said of the power outages in a statement Thursday evening.

Ghana partly relies on natural gas for power generation. The West African nation has battled power outages, known locally as “dumsor” for many years.

“Dumsor is fully back, no announced timetables, no communication, nothing, just frequent random power outages,” one Ghanian said of the latest power cut on X, formerly known as Twitter.

GRIDCo did not say in its statement when electricity would be restored to affected areas. CNN has reached out to the agency for further comment.

Recent studies expect the country’s energy crisis to worsen over the coming years, starting from this year.

Bukola94:
but I think the estimated billings is still too much. 18,310.79 is what I receive, total due is close to 200k and there is no month I don't pay on the postpaid. Sometimes I paid 7k,10k,12k. Even 10k twice in a month. Cap unit is 302@56.88

The problem here is the number of units they're claiming you're using monthly, that's the general problem with estimated billings. The price of your unit @57 naira is good. If only you can get a prepaid meter on that band C of yours.

Most Nigerians like you don't know to research, read and comprehend things. You just read headlines and conclude.

It's either you don't know how electricity is generated or surprised that small Ghana and Benin has 24/7 light something that can only happen in Nigeria dreams.

Now read this article and let it clear your ignorance.

You lot do not learn.how does Nigeria who could not generate enough electricity to power lagos supply the whole of Ghana??Nigeria supplies Ghana Electricity does not in anyway suggest it has 24/7 electricity.Y3s thier. ENERGY d3mand is not even up to 30%of that of Nigeria but they cannot generate e en 50%of thier own demand..I have. Een in Ghana and Benin multiple times for workIm a fluid Engineer and thjs profession has taken me round the world.power stations and lifters happens to be where I spend 80%of my working life.So U realy dont want to start telling me how poeer os generated..In west Africa all we have is Thermal and Hydro power stations nothing else.
