Ok, we'll get there someday.
Maybe it's time to start supporting the leaders. Wailing leads to nowhere, if you should criticise be constructive with your criticisms.

Buhari may not be the best in terms of charisma, but he surely has a plan. Make we stil dey try support the old man.

I spent around 15k monthly on fuel alone before I went solar. If the electricity is available bill payments should not be an issue. In the past few weeks there's been some improvement in power supply. I hope the progress continues, we'll get there someday.

When u say support, what do u mean? What makes u think that d leaders of this country need ur support?

The categorization already exists and it's not based on rich or poor but on energy requirements. R3 customers are usually estates that have been bulk metered. R2 customers are most other residential users whether rich or poor. The story was slanted to make it look like it was something wonderful. but it still boils down to tariff increase across board.

So industrial users, big estates, those in the villages, those in cities will pay more but on a staggered scale which is how every single tariff increase has been. Never been a flat rate.
Many thanks for your input.

Nawa o who advises this government? They don't even do proper research before implementing any policy. I'm tired. All of you that voted for buhari, I hope y'all can see what a disaster his government is.

They did their research very well.:

"This (tariff increase) is said to be a requirement for the approval of a proposed $1.5 billion World Bank loan for the power sector."

From the post, the basis for classification appears to be based on residential areas being categorised as rich or poor smiley. Meanwhile in some cases, rich people build or live amongst people in poor residential areas and vice versa. How will that be sorted?

Alice in wonderland! Believe Buhari and this Government at your peril.

Which impact on the amount of electricity hours?

Is that the underlying issue bedevilling power shortages in Nigeria?

We will never learn. Govt is deceiving you people with grammar and my people are perishing for lack of knowledge.

This president lack common sense. How can a sane person commend this. Most areas pay to get their transfomers, pools and the so called meters, people pay over 60- 70k to get prepaid mtrs, at the end, PHCN, will be all over cutting the light that they don't even provide. Most houses or areas, u cannot use the light to pump water.

The dullard would come up increasing the tarrif just now most people have lost their jobs as a result of the covid-19

Even as a strong critic of the dullard, will commend him on this, if it’s fully enforced. There was just no sense in expecting an Ikoyi boy to pay same tariffs with a Mushin boy.

Will further advise that luxury items should also be taxed heavily.

But if my opinion counts, the truth is its the mushin axis type that consumes more cos they have the population and they are the ones who like to flaunt most...

As at today, it the rich environments that suffer light pass sex and they are not bother, they already install gens and solar panels.

The only fair charge government can do is to is to stop wasting our money. Not charging us more for them to loot and waste. The money
made from electricity is enough, just careful planning and judicious spending is the way forward for now. Nigerians can't afford these rates they are proposing. Not now, not as long as our utility companies are ran the way they are.

People should pay based on the amount they consume not where they live.

Nigerians are too gullible. They are just deceiving us with this rubbish " The rich will pay higher than the poor".

Nigerians should be concerned with the astronomical increase in electricity bill without a commensurate increase in wage and electricity.

For the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (IKEDC) customers, the R3 category paying N26.50 per unit will now pay N36.49 per unit and later N58.

This "Next Level" is absolutely one chance.

People squeezed till death.........

The law will be counter productive.

As it stands, I own a property in VGC and I paid Atleast 3 times the normal rate for my house in ikeja. As it stands, the huddling business man in Nigeria pays more taxes than necessary and never complains but instead of increasing utility taxes, why not impose a higher “luxury” tax. Electricity should not be a luxury regardless of your geographical location.
