She think say na pay as you go

If you like no come home through out the month na still 150k dem go bring

By this bill, she will tell the world how terrible this Naija govt is

The estimated billing system is grossly unfair. Why is everything in this country such a pain? Pre paid is better, make it available. I can't pay for a service I didn't enjoy.

no error. they are looking for people that will fall for the scam.

I have been paying 15k monthly for not using electricity. At least he/she got a good job.
Many Nigerians don't even have a job, while most are under paid

She got a good job and that justifies the injustice by nepa against her?

Please work on your sense

These people just exposed themselves to the world

I bet sanwo olu will call the ceo of EKDC to revise the bill to 10k before morning to avoid CNN headline news

Prepaid metre sales is being frustrated by the discos.

sales ke sonething wey dem dey install free of charge

Just look at the comment section. Look at the inhuman conditions Nigerians are forced to live in. Just look at people even talking about bribing like it's not an illegal thing to do. Then somebody will be insulting you for leaving Nigeria.

See shithole reasoning. Because you have a good job you should throw good money away and let people rob you.

CNN should discuss Nigeria's crazy electricity tariff on Focus Africa

This is why I bye-pass my light without remorse

CNN correspondent, Stephanie Busari, has expressed shock at the outrageous bill sent to her home by the Eko Electricity Distribution Company, Lagos, IgbereTV reports.

In a tweet she posted on her handle, Busari said she was hardly in her home in December 2020 and was shocked to receive a bill of N150, 000 from PHCN.

She wrote;

Nigerians took to her comment section to share their ugly experience with Nigerian electricity providers.

See comments below.

Lol.... What did you smoke?


Unless you are paying an equivalent of the amount that lady mentioned above in USD (150,000 NAIRA).


Dem dey pay 10K($20) for electricity in US?

Please ooh!!! Does CNN pay her in dollar or in naira?

Let it not shock you

SenecaTheYonger:


Seriosusly, how do people afford to pay this bill?

The federal government approved the distribution of prepaid meters years back which works like pay as you go but of course if that happens they won't be able to cash out so they only gave few people and sold some at outrageous prices like the one below me

I think she lives in a nice neighborhood so they billed her according to how her house looks lol

In the past you're are charged according to what you consumed but now they just sit down in their office and decided

Apply for a prepaid meter now

rubbish line of reasoning

For that much you can get 24/7 electricity in a two bedroom flat in the UK for up to 5 months and that's in a country with high cost and standard of living. Pure theft when you don't even get stable electricity.

Guys watch AIT news right now! Their Top Story segment is on high electricity tariffs in Nigeria. Maybe it's because of this.

You have to wait for the Top Story segment. It will soon start.

They are charging u CNN dollar rate madam

psucc:
But that's not enough reason for her to pay that amount.

Nigeria is a joke of a Nation

How long can we go like this?

And you're have on nairaland.Take them yo court and let them provide they prove how you used the power...

VERY GOOD!

NIGERIANS NEED TO SUFFER EVEN MORE

THAT ONE-NIGERIA YOU ALL LOVE, MUST GET TO YOU ALL IN FULL!

That's what you get when your government is ripping you off..
Why would any responsibile government allow these Companies to get away with Estimated Billings?
How can you not provide electricity to your customers and at the end you bill them with crazy bills and your government doesn't do anything about it?

Stupid CNN staff better pay up her bills..there is no difference between CNN and PHCN both are very crookish dishonest organization that have no respect for their users
