Good day Nairalanders,

What is the light situation in your area, just as the heading suggests.

In my office 🏬 Lekki phase1, light has been very bad, since last month, despite the fact that we are on Band A, we have been solely relying on generator from morning till night.

In my house at around Obalende, infact that one os worst, sometimes, I stay in the office late, so that once I enter house, just take my bath and sleep straight..

The most painful part is that, my inlaw who is from Oyo state are complaing bitterly that light might not even come for 2-3 month and when it does, it won't last more than 4hours and its gone..

We have a minister who is from Oyo state and can't even manage just a ministry and want to govern a whole state.

The light is really giving me a concern, mostly this festive period that alot of expenses is there, you will still be thinking of powering generator with high rate of fuel to welcome visitors..

You guys should be careful how u complain o lest the like of my very good friends helinues yarimo putindbutt legendhero freestuffng wizardofng saturnalia rilwayne01 dotherightthing owamudia eponojuku (ele'ponNla) maziobinnaokija ttalk zero8zero jakpon elepon'nla maasoap....tag you Ipob and haters of the kwantiri...


It is well o...

Compliments oooo 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

U and anti people ehn, nor be small o... I was in in Lasustech(former Laspotech) area at Ikorodu, Lagos for about 2weeks last month and the power situation there was something else despite the area being a student environment. They hardly see light for up to 30 minutes in a day over there and the people told me that the situation has been so since January this year. Same thing my people in my hometown are also complaining to me all the time, and someone else living and working in a big man environment in Lagos island just make same complain and u are busy talking out of point as usual.

Worse in igando agric road,
I can't be paying bill and not seeing anything,
Any Nepa official who carelessly come to my side for disconnection will answer to d e a t h,
I am sick and tired of their bad job

Is solar different from inverter?

UTILITYMAY:
Extremely poor!!!

I live on the Arapaja axis of Ibadan, Oluyole Local Government, and the power supply here is far worse than anyone should reasonably endure. Over 60% of residents in this neighbourhood now rely on solar or inverter systems. In my own case, I had to upgrade my inverter capacity in November just to power more appliances and get longer hours of electricity.

I visited the Agbowo area today, where residents lamented that electricity used to be very reliable, something I can personally attest to. However, since around June this year, supply has deteriorated to the point of embarrassment. While electricity appears stable in a few selected areas in Ibadan, one must ask: why should access to power be selective? I have not even consumed up to fifteen thousand naira (₦15,000) worth of electricity in my fully equipped three-bedroom apartment in the entire year 2025, an indication of just how terrible the power supply has been.

If a state represented by the current Minister of Power can suffer this level of neglect, especially a state he aspires to govern, then it would be deeply misguided for the people of Oyo State to entrust such leadership with the governorship. Although I may have a soft spot for the APC, it is certainly not unconditional. God forbid that Adelabu becomes our governor.

That minister is very clueless, no light at all here....Karu transmission had to be one of the best transmission in FCT before...now turned to rubbish.
That Mr Adebayo Adelabu is not part of Renewed Hope at all...
The funny part of
it is that he's from my state eyeing next state governor....you know go enter...present representation shows that you have nothing to offer the good people of Oyo State

Is band A the same thing with 33?

wunmi590:
Yours is even better 10hrs, it is worst here despite being on Band A

Is band A the same thing with 33?

seanwilliam:
I’m in Ibadan on band A.We have atleast 20hrs supplies every day. Some days 22hrs. But the tariff is too high! I spend 40-50k monthly on electricity

Hello.

Is band A the same thing with 33?

Desyree:
It's a week and few days of darkness in Asaba. Except band A that can manage to get less than 5 hrs daily. My area is band B. We just got 4 hrs light after 72hrs.

Do we have a government?

Jonathan sold power sector to his cronies, both generating and distributing companies. So, what are you trying to say?

Less than 12hrs daily
Band A.
Shitty service

It truly votes count in Nigeria that man would never the governorship election after his abysmal performance as Minister of power

So much for the so called giant of Africa. Without constant power supply the country will never progress. Everything is driven off of an uninterrupted power supply. Without availability of that to the masses the country will continue to lag behind. What a shame!

Not just Aba. Any location on Band A is supposed to have at least 20 hrs of electricity per day. I can emphatically say that in my estate in Ogba area of Lagos those of us on Band A do experience at least 20 hrs of light daily. At least that was my experience when I was there last month.

The bottom line is Nigeria needs to solve its electricity issue. The Band level stuff is nonsense!

GeneralOuki:
Aba have left Nigeria behind when it comes to light. Band A are enjoying minimum of 20hrs light per day.
Geometric have done wonders there.

You need to visit NEPA office that is using generator.

Very pathetic

zoedew:
Upwards of three days of power outage. How we lack shame as a people just beats me. We are awash with gas used to fire turbines to produce electricity yet we do not have electricity in Nigeria! Simply befuddling!🤔

This is pathetic

Gotocourt:

Can you imagine

IamAsiri:

Nigeria is gone

Choiceone1:
Very very bad since 3 months ago now. Tinubu should do something this electricity because no improvement at all by

You can imagine we are in the festive period and no light

Silentgroper:
Which part of oyo state wey light dey reach 4hrs .


Light wey no pass 15mins in one week here for I.b...

Chai,

And we have minister of power from Oyo, who is bent on becoming the next governor of Oyo state

discusant:
The lingering lack of electricity in Nigeria is intriguing.
Methinks, those who generate and supply electricity in Nigeria believe they are doing the Nigerian people a favour by supplying electricity. That mentality cannot be erased again.

Nawa ooo
