This government is very wicked, imagine I traveled on 31st December as band B customer with power purchase of 13.4 units @1,000, and returning back by January as band A with power purchase of 4 units @1,000. How do they want us to survive this? The worst part is that the power supply is even worst now than when we are in their band B.

I agree with Ajero on this, this is purely 419 from the government.

Mandate1:
You give light to Band A, and throw others into unbearable darkness. This is pure wickedness.

Electricity was not this bad under Buhari, it's a shame that Nigerians are suffering this much under Tinubu.

igala1:
In as much as I'm not speaking for Tinubu's administration, it's the easiest thing to walk up to the DISCOs to know how conditions for the migration. Obviously, areas that have up-to 80% prepaid meters would be migrated to band A. Areas with 60% prepaid meter would likely me migrated to band B.

Paramount01:
Pls where did you base? Because light now is much better than before

RZArecta:
does this rubbish you said really make sense to you or are you just joking ?

Paramount01:
Pls which state you base? I no agree with this your statement

COMPAQ:
That's false. Electricity supply is far far better now

Bro, I'm facing same situation. I.used to get like 65 units for 5k on Band B. Returned this year, recharged 5k, stuff didn't even last up to 7 days.

Then I checked and realized that they moved us to Band A. Now 5k gives 21 units.

They say Band A is 20 hrs minimum. Ironically, I enjoyed relatively stable light on Band B. These days you can't even get 12hrs on the Band A.

It's disheartening.

Paramount01:
You are even on prepaid and you are shouting.Is it it to off your appliances when going out ?

NaijaCowFarm:
Tinubu's government of 419

ejieddy:
I have been saying this. This is fraud and discrimination. We need to sue this government amd the power ministry for this nonsense. Because of your inefficiency and inability to generate electricity, you create class or bands so that people will feel it's their fault. What's the meaning of band A or band B? Give us light and give a flat rate for power. Nonsense

Procashtips:
Imagine a struggling tailor being forced to use band A.

She makes ₦70k in a month but ends up using ₦45k to pay for electricity.

How's she expected to thrive?

maasoap:
Yes now. The more I use, the more I pay even for the flat rate. Imagine IBEDC band A getting 26 units for 8k while band B gets the same 26 units for 2k!

Paramount01:

tnerro1:
Bands are scam, so no SAN can take this discrimination to court?

PP123:
Tell her to get prepaid meter

Stop capping here

Procashtips:
Are you drunk?
Can you be on band A without a meter?

Your free 10mb would soon finish

PP123:
I'm on band A at ijede ikorodu

Our 5k last on our prepaid meter for one month

So go and rest

Procashtips:
You're obviously drunk.

₦1k on band A gives you 4.4units, unless you're stealing light (bypassing) or you have just a bulb in the whole of your building, then you're a bloody liar or an ignorant fellow who doesn't even know what he's talking about.

Enough of time wasting.

PP123:
where do you live at ibadan

maasoap:
4.4 units for 1k was for last time they made official announcement about tariff increment. It has been silently reduced to 3.3 units for all the IBEDC band A customers.
And again, you can't recharge 1k or 2k anymore with IBEDC, it starts from 5k now and it will give you just 15.65 units if you are not even owing them a debt on your meter/account number.
And there could be band A customers with no prepaid meter too, your monthly bill na just 60k, not much.

maasoap:
Osogbo, Osun State. IBEDC controls about 6 or 7 states

Procashtips:
Yet one ignorant fellow is saying he uses ₦5k worth for 1 month.

PP123:
una don owe debt b4 still get mind go collect prepaid meter

Omo Nigerian dey overdo sometimes

sirblend:
How is electricity supply far better? When power generation has never exceeded 6000MW?

It's high time we drop this APC/PDP/ Labour party mentality.
