asin thats what i'm saying when people when no dey pay light bill dey talk plenty...

Have you heard fixed charge is back? Wait before you panic. If brf brings that shit hole back then its a clear signal he ain't there cox he wants to alleviate the suffering of the masses but to make more money for the corrupt disco owners as usual

dammytosh:
Some one is desperate to please the masses to escape / evade justice.

The next story to be sold to the gullible masses is that Senate want to be independent, that is why they are witch hunting Saraki.


So we should continue to pay fixed charges without light ? Instead of us to allow them remove fix charges, pay for whatever we use at a reasonable rate and hold Fashola responsible if there is no light for 1hour.

How much do we fuel Generator now ?

That is how some M0r0ns were dancing Kukere when GEJ wanted to end Subsidy.

I think make person just continue dey work hard and say bye to being a middle class.

As if you can actually hold him responsible in the next three years apart from the Nairaland posts.

They don't have the power to order NERC to suspend the hike.

Nigeria is a wonderful place to be.

Now the senate has ordered that the electricity tarriff should not be increased, (his means they revert back to the former tariff inclusive of the N750 that is being paid regardless of whether you had light or not.

Either way the govt is bent on making the citizens suffer.

They increase the tariff or we continue to pay estimated bills + N750

people really don't get it.. The 750 is even the problem.. My last month bill, I used 1000naira but my money was 1850 after adding charge.. Now imagine without the fixed charges plus the 40% increament. My money would have been 1400 or at most 1500 Which even pays me more.. Now I have to continue to pay for what I didn't use cos some people can't use their head.

jideflows:
this no b good news at all.... the 800naira i buy never finish since january... and i pay service charge of 750 naira.... the fixed charge high pass the light i dey use... please its no to fixed charges ......... cos with this e clear say service charge don surface again.. and the 800 naira unit go carry me till march... meaning say i go pay additonail 1k5 by march and na just 800 naira i buy oh... una see wahala... where MR common sense... 750 +1500=2250 and na just 800 narai i never fit use finish.. so who is fooling who?

that fixed charges is just too high,our government is not just helping the masses at all. they just keep implementing new ways of extorting us. May God deliver us from their den

The N750 fixed charge was still applicable even when the tariff was increased. According to Fashola, the fixed tariff was scrapped but in practice not.
That move by NERC was unscrupulous and unacceptable they should refund what they have already gazumped.

I still don't understand why some ppl are shouting good news when the fixed charge of #750 still continues. Extortion of the highest order.
I believe the DISCOS will be very happy about this.Imagine #750 monthly on each meter whether you use light or not compared to a little increase in tariff which is pay as you use(PAYU).
I can hardly exhaust #3250/235kwh units in 4 months but #3,000 fixed charge awaits me for 4 month. To me,it will be a good news only if the fixed charge can also be scrapped or reduced to #200.

Populist decision. Foolish Senate order simply playing the gallery
Senators are the shareholders in the DISCOs, TRANSCOs and GENCOs

This is not a matter of no love between d executive nd legislative arms of government. D issue is dat d current administration is ultra-wicked said deputy senate president. Imagine a country where there is inconsistency in power supply what d new minister of power would do is 2 increase electricity tarrif, instead of him 2 look 4 how light will b consistent in d country. That is very bad of him. Chai Fashola there is God oh!

lwise:
Fashala ntoooor

it is not about mocking him but the reality on ground. With this development most of the investors would be scared to invest in such business although Fashola has alot of blame

Very bad decision and if heeded may truncate the reform process in the industry. People should be more enlightened, you currently pay far more to use your phone than you spend on electricity bill. The cost pf production in both are quite wide apart. Let's be realistic, this senate decision is wrong!

Apart from the question of whether the senate even has the authority to rule on such matters, this is nothing more than populist pandering to financial illiterates - of which Nigeria has no shortage. You all complain endlessly about the lack of constant power supply, yet when the government tries to make it financially worthwhile for the DISCOs to invest in improving their infrastructure, you complain that you're being cheated!

Which one do you want, the "cheap" power supply that is almost never there, and which must be supplemented by dirty and expensive fuel for generators, or paying more for power that you can actually count on any hour of any day of the week? Those are really the only choices there are, as no one will extend funding to the DISCOs to improve their infrastructure if the DISCOs can't even demonstrate that they can charge enough to cover their current expenditure. Anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to sell you a pipe dream.

Good decision nd God bless our senators

Exactly. The electricity companies might go back to the old rates but why didn't they distribute metres across the federation in the first place.

anjigirl:
Bad news! darkness loom again

Darkness continues is what you should say. Was there light before?

Is like u are still under ur parents so u don't know how much they are paying for light bill.

That is not totally correct. If you are having outstanding arrears still pending, you must pay them first before enjoying the new rates. For prepaid users not having outstanding balance, the new rates applies to them but for post paid, it would have taken effect from March electricity bills. Now that the senate has suspended them, we are going back to the old ways ie fixed charge of N750 plus estimated bills.

Chai! Why are we so daft to celebrate this news. This is a deliberate attempt by the senators and their co-collaborators to deny Nigerians the desired improvement in power supply. Is it better for us to pay a fixed charge of N750 whether we enjoyed electricity or not? or pay for what we used even with the increased tariff that is reasonable when compared with the fixed charge? This is good news for the discos but not for the customers, because they will continue with their extortion of the customers through fixed charge without providing power especially the estimated customers. I hope this doesn't sail through.

d senators are always our problem, before d increment, we have be telling them to scrap d useless 750 naira, now they stil want us to pay 750 for darkness, for them to force d coy to forcefully metered all house and retain or increase d old by 10percent

its high time our naija political office holders commence the search for sense.

President Buhari should put more money on education, see comments from nigerians, i don't blame the senate because they are true reflections of the citizens, 6k is sure even if there is no power or you don't use light for 8 months. That is what nigerians preferred

the point is let Government improve on the electric supply first then ask people to pay even 50% they will gladly pay. You do not increase tariff upon your bad services and force your customers to buy it in expectation of good services. If any mobile tele company increase their tariff with bad services will you stay with them or move to another company?
