Pains me to see elderlies begging DISCOs not to disconnect their service wires just because they're​ billed on estimates of 5k per month when they obviously can't consume 2k worth of energy in a month.

The annoying part is the outrageous aggregate billed over the months of over 130k. Who wan pay am?

And you know what? All these happen because they wouldn't supply prepaid meters.

I have said it before - and I will say it again. These Discos are purveyors and dispensers of corruption. They are experts at billing for darkness! And when they bring their grossly inflated bills for electricity they barely supplied, they still have the temerity to cut off power supply to your residence, despite the fact that they have given you more darkness than light.

Eko Disco wins the award for issuing fraudulent estimated bills. From 18,000 naira monthly bill in January, they suddenly inflicted a 35,000 monthly bill on us in May. Meanwhile, we did not buy any new electronic gadget since beginning of this year, our consumption pattern has not changed, and power supply was worse in May. May God punish EKEDC every single day of this year!

Meanwhile, my pre-paid meter went bad since December last year, and I have reported it times without number. Where do we take faulty pre-paid meters to be repaired? Eko Disco has turned a deaf ear to such pleas. The thunder that will fire all their management, is still doing press up at the edge of the Marina.

how can you sell 20MW to discos at almost N100,000000 permonth and customers cannot even pay upto N25,000000 are you especting discos to pay up the remainin percentage that was consumer... fwck yaw azz!

everybody dy bypass now but if dem catch u. u go pay x10

Most nigerians are underbilled.

They'll regret asking for meters when their consumption goes from 3k monthly to 10k.

Fashola is just a typical Afonja​, always touting and making noise. I will give 24 he's light in 6 months if you vote out PDP. Oya 2 years later minister of darkness haven't delivered

What is wrong with people like u? Must everything be afonja to u? Cant u face the message and leave the tribe? Why didnt an igbo man sue him? Nonsense

Great. Thank you SERAP. The government-sanctioned exploitation by the Discos is getting unbearable.

Under-billed in what sense? When my pre-paid meter was working, my monthly bill never exceeded 8,000 naira. During the day, my house is empty! No lights are switched on, and all units are switched off at the mains. Immediately it went bad after a power surge, the same Disco started billing me 15,000 naira and now it has gone up to 35,000 per month. Am I running a bakery?

People who do that should be sent to jail.

So does that give the Discos a right to exploit the consumers or the public, with outrageous estimated bills?

Fashola has clearly failed Nigerians!!!!

Nothing to regret about having meter. You can control how much energy you use. You can switch gadgets off to reduce your consumption. I will prefer prepaid meter any day.

Nepa n police i cant tell which is worse when it comes to extortion.

Let me tell you all one dark truth.

Do you actually believe that the whites have not found a cure to AIDS since in the 80's? Do you know how many billions of dollars the foreign governments (I don't want to mention names) are making all in the name if AIDS?

See, when you suffer, someone somewhere is benefiting handsomely from your suffering.

That we don't have stable power supply in this country is a special source of revenue to this people.

See, it is doom for them if they give all of us prepaid meter. This means that if they don't give us light, they won't get a dime from us. And we all know they can't supply us enough power. That is why they have given the prepaid meters to very few. If you have noticed, these people with prepaid meters relatively enjoy power (light) more than those with the analog meters.

If we all have prepaid meters, it means, the Discos manpower will reduce by 50%. Ghost weorkers and Avenue to extort and rob Nigerians wouldve been blocked.

They refused giving d meters so as to extort ppl. I stay in a 2bed which contains just 2 fridges n a water heater n palor appliances yet dey billed me 312k when i had no arrears. After fighting with them they said i shld pay 8k. Now this month dem bring bill of 96k. Nepa are criminals n can cos hbp

There is conspiracy. Don't ask me how or what I mean. If you just think about it for 59 seconds you will. Understand.

Thanks. I will ask someone to call you. I am not in town right now.

of course, Bull-hari did not capture non ROCKET SCIENCE in the budget... or was it the fee-dee-fee gwamnents budget that we are still using. I don't xpect a pro-bullhari to understand this. he is daft thru and thru

You missed my point.

Most residential customers are severely underbilled. By the time they get prepaid meters they start crying after seeing their real consumption.

That's why they kewp bypassing the meters.

In some places they're even resisting installation of the meters.

You're always free to contest your billing. If you don't, it's on you.

And your case is largely an exception. Households with sizable families consume power all day long.

nigerians dont want to manage energy, preferring to turn on all their ACs and heaters and other appliances all day. Truth is Nigerians simply want free energy. Or energy for which they pay on their own terms.

I connected a friend , his bill is 7k plus for temporary direct connection

Prepaid meter them no gree release / carry come

Teewhy2:
That is a good step, but is it possible to win the government in court in Nigeria. These distribution companies are really ripping Nigerians off that is why they don't want to give meter, in my area after banners were placed at street gates that no prepaid no Bill, and people resist paying the excessive bills. they brought in police to disconnect electricity supply of people who didn't pay the bills without any promise of putting prepaid meters soon.
Is it a crime for all household to be given prepaid meter in Nigeria, we saw a video not to long in Ghana of a village mud house with meter and we will be claiming big brother of Africa when some countries have basic social amenities.

It has been come a crime to be poor in this country. Check houses of all d big men 2day they all use prepaid meter and upon that still boycott the line. May God save us from this injustice and inhuman treatment we are getting from our government.

Oga, you are talking from a very uninformed position. On my street, many families are not home during the day, as the parents are out and children are in school. Most people do not get home before 7 p.m. And most evenings, all you hear are the hum of generators, due to power outage. So how much electricity is supplied to power the ACs and heaters that you so blithely refer to?

My neighbour uses 2 ACs, a gas cooker and 3 fans. The number of his electronic gadgets exceed mine. But he does not spend more than 10k recharging his pre-paid meter each month. Just like me, he is only home in the evenings, anyway. So why should I be billed 35k for electricity that I have not consumed?

This is not the first time, it has happened. I will share one quick example. My family house in Festac was billed 65k in one month, just a year ago despite the fact that the entire house was deserted and only one caretaker living in one room in the BQ, was on the premises.

The day I took the bill to Eko Disco to complain, the chap there told me point blank that a wrong factor was used in computing the bill, but there was nothing he could do...I should just pay the bill.

I wrote several letters to them, but nothing happened. Electricity supply was even disconnected from the house. After 3 months of going back and forth, they still insisted that the entire bill should be paid, but only gave us the grace to pay in installments. Where is the fairness in that?

If you are a paid agent of Eko Disco, please tell them that extortion by any other name is not the right way to do business. They were not appointed to rip us off!

Hey watch it you broke motherfukker.

I'm not anyone's paid agent.

If you can't afford electricity then stick to candles, you Neanderthal.

You didn't have to resort to some misplaced indignation you ignorant titch.

I do know what I'm talking about cos i worked in the industry, you bird-brained halfwit.

Now...go rub some twigs. Mr Fred Flintstone.

KARMA is a bitch indeed, it's always easier to say loads of craps when u re on the sidelines bt when u re on the driver's seat, it becomes a totally different ball game..

Fashola is frustrated, and the DISCOS re nowhere close to improvement, rather they re getting worse This was a man who said fixing electricity problem in the country wasn't rocket science. I guess he knows better now that it's rocket science combined with nuclear .I just wish SERAP can be steadfast with this battle nd not relent one bit....

When shall we sue our local government officials for not providing free primary schools for all our children?
When shall we sue our state government officials for not providing free secondary schools for all our children?
When shall we sue our government officials for not providing tap water?
In short, we need to wake up quickly.

When creatures like you run out of logical thoughts, they resort to insults. All the adjectives you used in your response, are such a good description of your person. You have just labelled yourself as a 'Neanderthal, ignorant titch, bird-brained halfwit and broke motherfukker.' Why am I not surprised at your reaction? Typical!
