Black man can not rule himself. This has been said for over a century but we shout the sayers down as racists. We've run away to live in their countries and to be ruled by them and it's going on well for those privileged few. For the rest left back in Nigeria, it's quite clear what I'm talking about, though we might still have the deluded pride to reject it
Before Africans made contact with the westerners, was our leadership this bad?
The thing is most of Africa's leadership problems were orchestrated by the westerners.


Nevertheless, I think we would have been better off if the western colonial masters were still here because our current day leaders are even worse. I am yet to see one bad thing done by the western colonial masters that is not copied by our new colonial masters. These criminals copied all their bad and forget their good.

When I see a politician, I see a very bad and wicked colonial master with an African skin.

what do u know about Electricity Tariff ? ask a power system Engineer to analyze the whole system for you. you will realize there's a need for you to pay more. you people pay to the distribution and generation company leaving the transmission company. In other to stop that, electricity Tariff has to be increased so as to compensate the transmission company. you must also pay for the power loss during transmission not just the power you consume at your different houses( not pay as you consume but pay as they generate ). I hope you understand what i said.
thanks

We said it but they didn't listen.

This is what you get for voting in a man who toppled a democratic regime.

This government demonstrates total distrust of the democratic process, they do not believe in any 'power' the people are supposed to possess neither are they ready to give any regard to the people's wishes.

Welcome to the govt that force-feeds you all the garbage you never got to eat before.

these Buffoons in Babariga & Agbada'd Dummies are a failed generation and the youths are now left to deal with the consequences of their actions for decades to come. At this rate, if the Naira eventually gets devalued, even to get out of the country will be a like a scene out of Zombie Apocalypse.

Na so dem tell you? You want to live in the tyranny of pre-colonial tribal lords? I can also see they've spoon-fed you with "colonialism = evil". I can't thank the British enough for coming here to open our eyes. Go and check other non-African/non-black nations colonised by Britain. Black man is cursed. Take it from someone spending his life monitoring these things. Everybody is not on the same level on Nairaland

Sir I work with one of the Discos, and i can tell you that it's purely a "scam" or corruption in disguise. Generation and distribution was privatised transmission is still in the hand of govt.

Now there is a fall in oil price, depressing even the economies of households, and the government thinks it's the best time to rip citizens of their hard-earned cash to perhaps fund its budget

Those who do the business of transmission should bear the risk of the business not pushing it to the customers

Feb bill
This bill is for energy used in January 2016
Tariff Rate: 15.63
Consumption: 276KWH (we had only like 6hrs days of January that's all)
Fixed charge: N750
Vat: N253.19


March Bill
This bill if for energy used in February 2016.
No light we don't know why till we heard that it's national strike

Tariff Rate: 24.00 (Fashola will say he doesn't have any idea of it huh)
Fixed charge: none
Consumption: 269KWH (Fashola will say he cannot make a move to enforce these guys to give us prepaid meter to stop all these paying for darkness, no light from mid Jan to march)
Vat: N322.80

In nigeria Govt don't help but keep killing the masses, imagine increasing the tariff and vat
Your salary is not increasing and they are not providing jobs or better economy huh
Why Nigeria, why ? undecided
Do you have a meter? If yes, does it work? If yes, what type is it? Analogue or Prepaid?

Pure scam! At festac here, under eko distribution company(ekedc) we aare charged about 22naira/kilowatt yet Fixed charge of #750 still exist......I was at anambra 2wks ago, and their own charge is 27naira/kilowatt with fixed charge included.
Fashola said a new tariff but without a fixed charge yet he hasn't stuck to his word.
I'm compelled to believe that the south east is paying more for electricity than south west but make I dey observe sha.
Incorrect deductions & erroneous conclusions abound in your initial post.

Re:South East paying more.
To know how the DISCO serving Anambra arrived at its charge, please check NERC website for the proposal submitted by the same DISCO.

Re:Fixed Charge Paid After February 1
All fixed charges has since February 1 been totally abolished by ALL DISCOs. If you observe your bill closely, check the date of consumption, you will notice that it is actually for any period before February. DISCOs distribute their bills in the subsequent month after consumption. So where you receive a bill in February, that bill is for energy you consumed in January.

pls stop reasoning from the anus.
The Discos are corporate entity... what they are doing is collecting money from customers to fund their capital investment. that's is fraud. charges to customer are to cover operational cost and then profit. Capital investment should be throu equity funding, loans, debentures etc.
So your second option makes no sense. You have to provide the service and base on quality , you increase your tariff. It is only absurd that you think customers should pay for you to get money to invest in your own business. it is only happening because we are corrupt and indolent nation
Do u know how many people will say for services not rendered through so called estimated billing ? that is fraud
Is MTN or Glo not collecting from customers to fund their capital investmentshuh

Or is there any business out there that is not collecting from its customers to find its capital investments?

Mr man, Are you teaching me how to read a light bill? The fixed charges hasn't been removed in our light bill . The light bill of feburary I paid this month, contained fixed charge and the new tarrif. Maybe its been aboliished in your area but still exists here. I'll wait for the Next bill to see if fixed charge still remains. And as for you referring me to so so site, I'll say I deal with what's on ground not some propaganda shii. If you have someone living @ the south-east. Ask bout their rate! Pratiical over theory!

This your NERC change isn't making any sense at all. Improve the power supply first and I will gladly pay, why increasing tariff when there is no improvement in the power supply? A bill of almost 4000 naira was brought for me alone, and I asks how come am to pay 4000 naira when I can hardly enjoy this light for at least three hours without it going off. I pray for a positive change, and may God grant us a sincere leaders, amen.

Analogue and it works, when it was PHCN they were taking the readings but now it's estimated they said it's either prepaid or estimated.

They approved prepaid for us last year after much begging and settlement (still they are still bringing paper bill for us, we self don tire),

What I noticed is that they hardly give old houses because they know that they will not make any money once there is no light, so it's estimated, since nobody will checkmate them

Light distribution is where the massive corruption is, imagine last year we paid more that 300k for darkness, all the times we had light join together will just be one 3months highest. Some of our next neighbours have written to them and disconnect themselves, purely solar/inverter and gen

That estimated bill eh na read money grubbing!
E for make sense say everybody dey use pre-paid metres but some people dey bypass their ac and big big appliiance direct to the grid. Na only small things like fan bulbs na I'm prepaid meter dey power. As nepa pple don sabi wassap
, dem don stop to dey give prepaid metre come dey charge dose wey no get prepaid wosky charges. So in otherwords. We dey pay for the sins of our prepaid metre brothers
the nepa people should first provide the prepaid without tampering with it, then their taskforce can be monitoring the meters (they are being paid for it).
It's like saying no need for police everybody will behave rightly.
NEPA is federalized corruption, Fashola just upgraded it to legal corruption

Is Glo/Mtn/airtel as costly as it was before? If not that NCC is still corrupt, it would have be even more cheaper

How much is simcard plus registration now?
When Etisalat came on board it ran for a year or two without profit,

If they have made the light distribution like telecoms - a street/area/zone can chose who to subscribe to then we would have seen fast improvement in the power sector but its still Monopoly(in another format)
Re: How Nigerian Government Imposed "Illegal" Electricity Tariff On Nigerians by greenrevo: 6:25am On Mar 31, 2016
Buhari should be careful with some of his capitalist ministers that are programing him to fail. Some claim to be very close to him. I think he should beware of Fashola. Nigerians are in pains, any additional burden now is suspicious! I think Fashola should have been more concerned about how the DISCOS will return the $250M CBN gave to them illegally when they took over PHCN, than telling Nigerians who paid N3000 in January, 2016 to pay N12000 in February, 2016, is the increment 45% - Fashola? He must have evolved a new formula in mathematics. Nigerians should reject that. We should also confirm if he has personal stake in Ikeja DISCOS.

Taskforce to be monitoring kini? So you think I'll let a nepa official come into my house to check my PRE-PAID metre? Oga yarn like a true nigerian, some mischeivous nigerians are the reason these pre-paid metres are not dished out. Coz it means lower revenue for them if nigerians continue with the inappropriate behaviour of deciding which electrical appliances should prepaid metre be adjoined with

Your VAT wasn't increased it's still 5% of consumption charge. From your write up, you use 269kw.So your consumption charge is N6,456(N24 *269kw).Vat is 5% of N6,456 is N322.80. The only increase is the rates not VAT. If you add your vat plus consumption charge, you have N6,778.80 assuming there are no previous arrears that's you're not owing

Don't tell me you've been brainwashed to accept the lies that Africa couldn't have experienced any form of development without western colonization?

What tyranny exactly? And was this tyranny unique to Africa? Bro, Our forefathers did not experience thesame form of colonialism as non-Africa countries. There were so many atrocities committed by them only in Africa. They dealt with Africans as if they were subhumans.

I understand what was written in the bill but you are forgetting that:
1. There was no light from mid Jan to March beginning in our area plus the strike but bill was served to us
2. We were told that the increment should be on hold ven Fashola agreed that is why he said he will work to ensure supply of prepaid before the increment even senate kicked against the increment at a time like this.
3. Why not give prepaid before increment to stop all these estimated bill(paying for darkness) which is the legalised corruption
