Which Bandits are you on?

Bandits A?
Bandits B?
Bandits C?
Bandits D?
Take light from Band C and D and give it to A. Then fleece A and refuse to supply meters to C and D.

The most fraudulent arrangement ever to keep all sectors robbed

Labour knows the frauds from the govt, but still does almost nothing angry. I expected them to down tools with the telecom price hikes, they only threatened and nothing meaningful happened. Govt claimed fall in naira was the reason for these hikes in every sector, naira is improving but the hikes continues angry embarassed
Exactly
That telcoms tariffs increase really vex me

Since Tinubu came to power,
A lot of Nigerians can no longer afford electricity.
People can't afford air-conditioning
Driving a car has been put above the reach of the average Nigerian.
Travelling for vacations, occasions and visitation is no longer affordable.
Three square meals now a luxury.

The problem is, not that the government is incompetent. Tinubu government is just like armed robbers who take what belongs to you for themselves without empathy, and will kill you if you resist.
Make nothing mistakenly happen to Tinubu sha else his family will be traumatized on how Nigerians will jubilate.
Yoruba people call such person (A GBA LOWO MERI, AGBA OLE)

This is the kind of exploitation that the NLC should have focused their fights on.

Petrol pricing reduction, naira valuation, telecoms billing, bank's charges etc.

Those are the areas a serious NLC should have continuously fought the govt, instead of just salary increase that has further hiked inflation and more taxes.
They tried your suggestion first but the government refused they now went for option B which is supposed to be a living wage but Tinubu being a wicked soul approved a wicked wage instead and we are where we are
We are in a cost push inflation occasion by the insensitive government increasing all cost at the same time,while no concern if the economy can cope

"No matter what you get as salary, can never be enough but we have improved it, no worker in public sector goes home with less than N70,000 per month."

This man is confused, is any Federal government MDA paying the minimum wage yet...?

That is why they want to kill themselves with power.. remove akpabio or wike from power just six months... U will see how hungry they will be...
Just tax money they are good at flexing

Its a fraud indeed, these monopolies keep increasing tariff with no justification. Why is the FG discouraging individuals from generating and distributing power?

There are companies with surplus power that can distribute, why are they prevented from doing it.?

if only people can unite and take a stand against these thieves called discos, we are paying for services not rendered.

I've said this over and over... They divided the people to avoid protest and it worked.
Yea
They leverage on the classist nature of Nigerians.

Imagine people boasting they are on band A and feeling like they are demi gods, yet paying through their anus.

many years ago, in India (I don't know if it's still in practice)... electricity is only cheap for the first 200 units you consume in a month...you will have to wait till next month to buy cheap units again....any extra unit you consume outside the 200 units before the end of the month you will be charged very high rates.

And many households won't be able to consume 200 units monthly unless they just run appliances anyhow.

Funny, AEDC shot itself in the foot the moment it introduced the banding system. 90% of the people in band A are migrating to solar because it makes no sense paying above a million Naira per month for epileptic power supply..

Now the money they thought they will make, they are not making it.

Now they want to migrate people in band B and C. They know these people cannot afford to buy solar.

Until we all fight to be metered, all these nonsense will continue.

In some countries, power is expensive during the day and very cheap at night to encourage people to use it, that way it ensures grid stability.

Here we are increasing tariff without increasing service delivery or adding new infrastructure.
does it mean that those who in band B and C who are moved to band A will also enjoy the 20 hours power supply?

When will customers stop buying transformers, cables, poles, other power accessories and still paying for power officials to install these, despite paying bills? We just contributed 10k each to replace armoured cables in my area, yet we pay bills sad
