You guys are very pathetic with your stupid defense. I stay in Osapa London in Lekki Area and we are in Band A, nobody is seeing up to ten hours of electricity. You guys should stop this foolishness in the name of defense.

Some areas in Lakwe , Awoyaya won't see light for three straight days. This is Lagosooo.

What happens to remote areas in the village.

Ask yourself simple question, HOW MANY KILOWATS OF ELECTEICITY ARE WE GENERATING? Fine out the answer and your will see how lame your submission is.

That guy is very annoying whenever electricity is mentioned he will show up and yarn rubbish

It's not your fault. Had it been your areas is under Band D or Band E you will get to know the truth...........

And you are in Band D and E and know the 'truth '?
Many of you are so dishonest in your feedback that it beggars belief to think of what you really want aside bad for every one.

I know folks in that band and know they pay far less and recieve electricity for certain period of the day and it's constant. I equally know people who protested being moved to band A because they don’t want 24 hour electricity.

Electricity supply has remarkably improved so much that it's now 24 hour constant for weeks!

Stop this unpatriotic act of running down the country to satisfy your itchy ears for bad news. When government does well, you will not die if you acknowledge it.

Apart from occasional times when the national grid has issues, most Nigerian households enjoy a minimum of 15-20 hours of electricity in urban areas. So, which blackouts are they talking about?

Sorry my man, but this has to be a sarcastic comment...seriously it has.

Band C, D and E don't get up to 12 hours power supply a day. Band B gets 15-20 hours a day. Only Band A, which form 20% of consumenrs don't get blackout.

PLease stop praising this government, and stop thinking about everything as attack on tinubu and face reality. IT IS NOT YET UHURU. We need 32000 MW to be generated and transmitted before we can say that there is no blackout for everyone ON THE GRID.

Your government is even sabotaging fresh investment, by forcing subsides on the power sector. That's why the profit is so scanty . Compared to what is needed.

Not everything na APC vs others oga. Drop party and face reality sometmes. cheesy

If you were running a business where only 20% of people pay the price you set that would enable you remain solvent, and the rest underpay or do not pay at all, and government subsidy payments are not coming in for those on subsidised prices, you go call that profitable?

You don't know the seriousness of the problem. 1.2 trillion is not going to fix power. Especially since most of that income is going for salaries and debts, very limited amount for actual fixing of power.

10-15 trillion or more is what this country power sector needs on a yearly basis. Before it makes sense.

why are they afraid to supply free prepaid metres to eliminate what you are saying? Stop defending criminals.

My area in Ibadan, we hardly see cummulative of 12hrs in a week. The numbers of houses in my area is thousands and empty land there is not up to 5 plots just to tell you it's not inside village 😂 but funny enough power supply is dead.

Re: Consumers Pay ₦1.13 Trillion Electricity Bill Despite Blackouts by Odingo1: 8:03am On Jan 07

It is a shame that there is no light in Nigeria. Blackout everywhere. Only Band A have a reasonable power supply. Why should there be band A, D etc, why can’t everyone one have equal amount of power supply in Nigeria. Why the discrimination between the poor and the rich.

AM on band B and I can say that in the last 24 hours, only 13-14 hours have been light present, the rest of the time , no light.

You can call me unpatriotic, but it is effing unrealistic to expect that 5000 mw can give every nigerian 24 hours power. We need something like 32000 for those on the grid, 88000 or more for everyone in the country...

Thank you for the write up but note that IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO COLLECT 100% revenue as a DISCO in Nigeria because not everyone is metered, not everyone registered which results into energy theft and lastly not everyone metered is sincere, many did a bypass of the installed prepaid meter- another case of energy theft.

1.Band A pay cost reflective tarrifs. Band B, C, D, E don't
2.Band A can pay as high as n230 or more. Band C maybe n160, or less. Band B is around 180 naira...
3.Band A consumers are being rewarded for paying more in power supply, not for being 'rich'. One can be rich and live in a band C area, one can be poor and live in a band A area.
4. The difference between cost of power and the actual tarifis payed by Band B-E is supposed to be made up by a subsidy from government, which government is still struggling to pay, and even if they paid, it isn't enough

You are a liar, that you are paid to support a government doesn’t mean you should be gaslighting people on something that is visible to everyone, electricity have not improved, blackout is everywhere. In portharcourt there is sound of Generators everywhere. No any improvement except those in Band A and why should there be different bands in a serious country. Some have light others don’t have. Useless government. Even in Lagos there was blackouts in Surulere and many other places.

Because telcos are paid a cost reflective tarrif by every consumers. All their consumers , i emphasize,pay the tarrif. You cannot use a phone without paying (and the era of cheats has long ended, and many who used cheats paid for it heavily).

DISCOS and gencos get paid cost reflective tarrifs by only 20% of consumers (band A). At best, they make a profit from 20% of consumers, and lose money from the remaining 80%. That means there isn't enough money to pay for even routine repairs...which is why we buy them transformer, poles and wires. Their profit is too low to enable them do so (and they need somehting like 10 trillion or more annually to fix things, even more to keep them maintained and upgraded).

Power users can also use power without paying by bypassing their meters or refusing to pay. More losses noted. And then subsidy payments by government are never on time, and even if they were are too scanty for purpose.

The total electricity we generate as a nation is not more than 5000 kilowatts for 200 million people. How exactly did electricity improve? South Africa generates over 25000 kilowatts of electricity.

I don't know the household you are talking about... We go days without power. Speak for yourself. Don't hype a failing ministry or administration. 7hrs power maybe, but stretching it to 15 hrs is a lie from the pit of hell. Through out late last year was terrible. Sometimes Days unending without power. You can't even store food anymore and that makes it very difficult to save. So pls speak for yourself.

I stated that those bands don't recieve 24 hr electricity. Is that not what you just confirmed?

Do you pay same rate as bands A? NO!

Does everyone in band B want to be migrated to band A? NO!

The point is that public supply of electricity has improved phenomenally!

They should oga. I don't like estimated billing, but then again part of the reason for it is that if they don't engage in the ripoff that is estimated billiing, they would have even lost more money ie the discos.

But they should.

But even if everyone got a meter, the problem is 60% of exisiting metered consumers bypass their meters. At least 60%. Knowing Nigerians, it won;t change anything. Nigerians think power should be free. Even those on subsidised prices think it is 'too expensive'.

Most Nigerians are not on band A , so most Nigerians are on blackout.

Again,you are treating this as an attack on your tinubu, not as a problem that has been there for decades, which is why you are being so tetchy.

Again, only band A members get power supply...but you implied EVERY NIGERIAN was getting 24 hours supply.

Again, 5000 mw can't give every nigerian good power supply. We are still where we are, and have been for decades. You can scream at me, but it is the truth.

So why are you calling me a liar? Because you are very much like the obidients you despise.

Better face reality, this is not about party...na years before we fix am. But keep on abusing me....No matter what you say...FACTS DON'T RESPECT YOUR FEELINGS. cheesy
