If N10k last you for 2 weeks which simply means 20k per month, then that is fair pricing when you have like 20hrs per day. Electricity is not cheap anywhere. Na decades of subsidy make this pricing look weird.

We just need to ensure we increase wages so people can afford basic things like electricity.

Affordability is the main problem here. If we can have massive jobs and increased wages, then it will be easier for the populace to afford things.

The fact that some nigerians in their right mind still defend this stupidity called cost reflective tariff annoys me. When it's time to justify wickness you make comparison with the rest of the world but when the masses demands what's obtainable in the rest of the world pertaining their welfare you simply remember they are living in Nigeria and not spending dollars.

Has power generation improved significantly? I relatively have same hours of power since 2010 in my area, yet bill is shooting off the roof.

You know the joy of it is that we are all in this mess together. How do you justify this massive inflationary effects in 10years of a particular political party's rule.

Only kids and fraudsters will not complain of this regime. To an adult Nigerian now 10, 20, 50 and 100 naira notes are virtually useless.

A country wants to bill us like the western world yet her minimum wage is less than 50 dollars. Let's all continue pretending that all is well. A big burst is coming soon.

I use to hear "inflation is coming down.

I do not see how it is coming down o.
N10,000 only gives me around 40kwh of electricity which lasts me for only 2weeks to power

•my AC for like 1hr daily
•Fridge is powered for around 10hrs
•Ceiling fan is powered for around 15hrs daily
•And 3 light bulb around for 7hrs.

I spend around 20k monthly on just light bill.
Light bill and rent alone cost around 55k per month, rent is 400k per year. it outrageous.

If the country wants vastly improved power supply, its citizens must be ready to pay cost reflective rates for it.

We may not like it but that's what is needed. The FG owing Genco's 4tr is because power is heavily subsidized. I think it is only Band A that is cost reflective.

richmond500:
which kind yeye lie be this?

EXPRESSSMAN:
Man, if you see the kind of inefficient that goes on in this power sector, you will not be talking of cost reflective.
Take it anywhere, electricity is cheap. It is not a thing that worry people in other countries.

richmond500:
For the past 10yrs, I have never lived in a place where I get less than 20hrs light, except when I visit my village

So I do not see 20hrs as a big deal

In a sane country, electricity is electricity. Having constant, ceaseless power isn't rocket science. It's unfortunate that 60+ years after independence, we've not gotten it right.

And I have a video of the current president telling us to vote him out if he can't provide electricity after his 1st tenure.

Or have just one child and everything becomes easier 😉

papyjaypaul:
Band A to Z Bandit Electricity Billing is one of the biggest frauds of this APC government. How people let this happen lying low is something I'll never understand. Your government is using discrimination to give you essential services and you people say no, it's private sector, it's disco and sisqo ahh

AustineE1:
Sometimes it seems some are paid to deceive others,5k on band A,means 20kwh.Just pumping water alone from the borehole can take 90% of that within 2wks,Once you on the AC for 4 hours a day,it can take more than 2 units daily,then your fridges ,television,lightnings and other electrical appliances will burn up the rest within 5 days .
How then did you come up with what you are saying?

DaddyGoo:
Your bro na meter bypass master!!

Paramount01:
And is the light not stable for you now? He never promised cheap light but stable light after 4 years . You can see people's comments,not that the light is not stable but is very expensive , though we still have many areas that have not been seeing the light like me,but I ma sure before he finish his 4 years he must have rectify it ,but it will not be cheap.

Efficient light first before subsidy

Onyi90:
This is my experience in my PH location and I'm not even in band A

richmond500:
I on AC for only 5mins and put it off when the room is cold, I do this like 7-10 times a day.
You actually consume more power this way. Appliances that use compressors, such as ACs and refrigerators/freezers consume more power to start up but once they start, consume less. So you are better off letting it run for one hour straight rather than 5 minutes x 10.

Don't worry as it won't last, it's one of the sacrifices you have to make to ensure that Peter Obi learns a bitter political lesson.

Our darling drug dealer will make it better as he worked at Mobile and performed similar magic in Lagos.

Abbeytoy:
I spend 40k monthly on electricity only. Though I was the one who pump water for the whole 7 flats… we pump 4k liter 3x in a week
