Their new fraud strategy is to first give band B members considerable light supply to create an impression that light they wella, then without notice, they will switch them to band A with its outrageous tariffs and then boom, the light you were initially getting like 18 hours a day on band B will systematically reduce to 13-15hours while still paying higher tariffs.. Then many excuses go follow.. Their ultimate goal is to switch everyone to band A while still maintaining the old status quo of not supplying the expected hours of power that comes with it..

I used to stay at a ghetto called gbuduwyi in Abuja... the voltage is never above 170v... sometimes as low as 110v....yet na 25k monthly.... weda u de house or u no de house....with 170v I only charge phone and turn on the lights. Yet 25k
Yours was a village. I stay in the heart of lekki. Our voltage here na 140-160v, in the night, it goes to about 170v, and them call am band A.

Thank God for inverter sha. These people are useless lie their supporters .

I was in a taxi with one man and he was complaining bitterly. He asked,” how can I pay N4,000 a month rent for a room and pay N16,000 a month for electricity bill for that same one room, is that not madness?” I couldn’t answer him

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.
Which nonsense 90%. Solar easy like that? Even if you get solar or inverter, most still need EKEDC for more intensive appliances like AC in particular, especially in this heat. If 10% of Band A have gone to solar, i'd be impressed sef.

Exactly
That telcoms tariffs increase really vex me
Telecoms tariff increase after 12years vex you! Nigerians are entitled sha! Everything must be cheap or free.

The problem is not the cost of the telecoms tariff or electricity or petrol. The issue is that our incomes in Nigeria are too low. That's what we need to fight. Left to me minimum wage should be N150k for starters, based on where prices of things are at the moment.

Isn't that all the more reason why you should understand that the tariff needs to go up? Is MTN meant to be pitying you about inflation when they have their own to worry about? Trust me, you don't use as much diesel as MTN. So imagine the impact on them with diisel at N1100 from N650 when Tinubu came into office.

Helinues and the other riffraff supportersand defenders of PBAT including PBAT their Daddy himself disagree with you,

They say ina (no way) in hausa language,
That the current minimum wage of 30,000 naira ($19.98) per month is perfect! 🤷🏼😭🤕😥🙊🙀😩

If there is any set up that can even run 2 days without sun for a residential house and carry away least 2ac then it will be a minimum of 10kva and like 30kwh battery system with like 30 500W solar panels. At least in my house I know I average about 15kwh daily on 90% Band A availability. This Feb I used like 440kwh which at N227 is N99k.

Such a set up is probably like N15mln. That's a 12yr breakeven.

Imagine nepa loosing 99k in 100 places
