We never get light for the last 3 weeks ever since we beat up some nepa officials who came to the area, since then nepa kuku disconnected us tull further notice.

N10,000 unit I loaded on my meter since January still has not finish as a result of no power.

Stop wailing.
Compel your government to immediately stop work on that useless coastal highway and divert the trillions to power generation.

Just one third of the amount proposed for that road will double power generation within six months. Power will affect the quality of your lives, the survival and profitability of your businesses and will reduce the cost of transportation.

What will that road do for you as an individual citizen. Let us emphasize what benefits the most people and what can return on investment practically.

Once again. Nigerians should decide how our money is spent.

Ha. That N10,000 is two days light even with 12 hours solar backup. Which band is that.

Wait, I don't understand. Did national grid collapse today? Here na total darkness

I don't think I want to believe this
Even tinubu sef go complain e sure me

You take such people seriously?lol those are APC data boys that are paid to support the devilish government even when them dey feed on one Agbado only a day and starving. One clown up there said on a bad day 18hours and on a good day 24hours and that guy is a notorious supporter of failure and lies so not to be taken seriously.

It is very disappointing and disastrous.
On a scale of 10, it is 0.2/10 in Aboru.

Mr English, here is corrections to your English

I just wonder whether most of [The] people above me can speak English

You read what they [write] not [wrote] and you have to take a [moment] not [step back] to understand it

Congratulations you just won yourself 50 naira

Post your aza

The State Governors now have the law in their favor. They can provide light for their people but most of them are not making any impact. Only Abia has done something tangible as far as I know. It's easier to fold their arms and blame FG for everything even with the large allocations they now receive.

Na we dey do ourselves. We're not focused on the right things. We should be asking our Governors how they're making use of the opportunities now available to them to improve on electricity supply.

Survival of the fittest

Enjoy your own suffering and smiling

Bad, especially since the beginning of this year

Can you describe this solar pls. How is it?
Can it carry the whole appliances in your house including pumping of water?

So you don't use nepa at all? No inverter too?

Babaibeji2020:
In my house......I've never had a light out for one second since the week before Christmas 🎄2025......




That was when I Commissioned my solar setup........I don't give a hoot about NEPA .



Don't even know how it feels to not have light for a minute....My God will punish the leadership of this country who put us in avoidable sufferings and hardship !

This is how our own looks like too. Is when you want to sleep that you will see light. Can't really use it to do anything because you need to go sleep early in order to get up fast tomorrow morning. But atleast we dey sleep with fan.

They use to bring it too in the afternoon. Na people wey dey house dat time dey enjoy. Mostly women dat use to work from home.

Isholad11:
We had light from 10pm yesterday to 5am this morning, and that is the average routine everyday. Before we sleep, we ensure our phones are plugged. Because by dawn the light is gone.

Then why do people always say is when you have prepaid that you will get light more?

The money used in this God forsaken Coastline road should have been channelled in improving power supply, but due to their greediness in recouping their election expenses, they quickly embark on this misplaced priority of a project.

Very bad here in Ogun State under 11KVA

Well you gave a hell lotta assignment to respond but I'll try......
My first solar setup was 2×130ah battery bank with 1.6kva pure sine wave inverter with an array of solar panels. My panel array was of various wattage because I bought them bit by bit from friends who wanted to upgrade and sorts. My installer who is a very passionate and understanding person, put up a system I could "manage" but was always low b4 dawn😪
Because I enjoyed the package and it reduced my fuel buying budget,I decided to go off grid..... It's expensive but there's a size for everyone that can be upgraded at your pace. First thing, get a dedicated installer, tell him the appliances that are "important".....with time and funds availability, you can upgrade to the extent you will disconnect from NEPA entirely, that's my plan....."
Good luck and try to get lithium battery bank,I really didn't enjoy gel battery till I started using lithium....The DOD is superb

Dear Nigerians.....I am Nigerian too but i am very ashamed to be Nigerian! Very ashamed that i cannot do anything to help change Nigeria since i ran away from that place since 2000!

The youths should be on the streets with Pitch forks ready to die..because you might as well be dead as your future as is the current state of affairs in Nigeria is worse than death!

For example...Do you know that in the year 2026, the current Power supply situation in Nigeria is equivalent to the way things were in the United States in the 1920's?

Think about it..a country blessed with OIL for goodness sake...abundant oil ......Your country is over a century...(100+ years) behind the United states in terms of power supply!

The quality of contributions on this forum has taken a turn for the worse... the grammar is bad enough, but you cannot make head or tail of the rubbish people are writing here! I am ashamed to be honest!

Can you state the range(amount) you use to purchase this?

Answer this my question clearly too. "You don't use nepa at all?"

Has the national grid collapse....Since yesterday morning in my area no power supply....

What's happening to our power sector.

Nigeria is a failed country. Our health sector is nothing to write home about. See our power sector, very very epileptic. What a pathetic story for nation rich in gas!!
Let's fix this nation.

I don't use nepa at all....
I can't actually state a specific amount because I do upgrades...I swapped my small charge controller for a bigger one, I bought extra lithium battery that's been charged by the inverter powered by the gel battery. The gel battery bank works by day time and stops by 4pm,the lithium bank works till dawn. Plus or minus,my unit could be in the range or 2.8 to 3 million, some panels not included in that fund

My last question pls.

So you saying you simply do upgrades.

If you could explain dis upgrade to my understanding, i will appreciate.

Anyway, if you can't, no problem.

I really appreciate everything.

By upgrade, I mean swapping my components for higher versions. I started with a pwm charge controller before swapping to mppt. I had one gel battery...130ah, later added another 130ah but now I've included a lithium solar generator. I was using a sachet inverter but it got fried and I got a pure sine wave inverter......lots of upgrades.
Availability of funds is the yardstick for upgrades..

Cool.

Thanks so much.
