They want cash out from Yankee girl.

The fact that she works for CNN doesn't make her a Yankee girl o

Prepaid meter . I use like 2500 or less monthly. Why? We rarely have electricity.
There was a time I used 2k for 3months we only had electricity for like 6 days in 3 months

If you hate this Government and love the one before it, you all are zombies. No Government has treated Nigerians nicely. Jonathan was daft same as this clueless mugu. If you want to destroy a country, don't waste bomb on it; give them a bad leader.

Zombies are walking dead things

the only thing helping th you'reose Ngpatriots silvernorgold and BBQ grill is that this is a faceless forum.
If this was a public forum they'd have gone into hiding

Even if I dey work for oil company, I can’t pay that much unless I’ve a sawmill in my compound ..

l believe you are writing this from Niger republic!

No, bro!

I'm writing from naija bro.

That era of making payments but no getting metered is gone!

I know what am saying!

that's what Phcn are doing to Nigeriax rob us to pay bubu

She never see anything. That's how we roll here.

There was a protest that turned into violence at Kafanchan District of Kaduna Electric today. One life was lost and others in the hospital while the company lost vehicles and office properties.

The problems were outrageous billing and a 1new manager that reduced the power supply to the town.

I wonder what happened to the energy capping that NERC introduced last year April.

Youths should start considering how to organize another protest against these crazy bills they keep bringing maybe then they will seat up and do the needful...

bigfish3k:

You talk as if it's easy getting it

It's actually easy to get metered here in Akwa Ibom state.

Only that most people rely on the "I hear say you go pay but no meter".

So, they back off!

But that shouldn't be the case anymore.

Mumu. No be people like you encouraged Jonathan and PDP to sell power sector to himself and his cronies? It's no more PHCN or NEPA, it is now EKEDP, IBEDC, and so on which means Elemelu, Abdulsalam, Adeleke and so on. You just need to wake up to reality.

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.

Basic things are generally more expensive in Nigeria than most developed countries. You don’t expect average US residents to pay 150k naira (about $300) for his / her apartment. People in US still crying for electric bill that is even less than $100 / month

I don’t know how Nigerian government except average Nigeria to survive in this great country. Most graduates don’t make 100k naira per month. Can’t even rent decent apartment in the city.

She should go and buy prepaid meter.

Police dey kill and extort people, youths rose up protest, the same people wey the youths dey fight for still fought against them, kill dem plus. The ones wey dey home say youths no suppose block road while protesting. Some say the protest suppose don get timeframe.. Say dem been overstay for street.

Please if u cant pay, disconnect.
Nobody will protest again, lets just manage how they treat us. If u dont like the treatment, sniper is cheap, rope is not expensive...

I’m not surprised. This is the way it has been since time immemorial. Upon the billions in dollars spent by past and present government, no still stable power supply!

I don't know who Nigerians offend that made this country be in this mess!

Where's your sense? Because she has a job, that's why she should be paying ₦150k a month?
Is she running a steel rolling mill?

dorothy111:
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

Shey lai mohammed said nigeria will fine CNN.

Well, he just inflated your bill with fine.

Lol

Payback to CNN for their #EndSARs report. ����

Have you applied for prepaid meter in Nigeria before? If yes do you know how frustrating it is?

I ordered prepaid meter since last year no show .they only came once to inspect and tell me they will hang it on the wall.after then nothing.i got 40k as dec.2020 bill.

Oyibo woman naija go chop your dollar.....osuofia on my mind...yeye country

My friend in America told me we pay the same amount for electricity and yet his is constant. Nigeria, sha, this country can weaken one's soul. I think it was a 15,000 naira bill which was erroneously typed.

Since Nairalanders want everything spelled out for them; I pay 40,000 naira monthly for electricity.

Somebody's two months salary

Lady, tell the stories to the world: Nigeria is like a roasting chamber for Nigerians still left in the country.

Hotel bill, flight tickets, food bills - all outrageously high and out of norm.

see this country na scam. If you like you follow scam am. If you like don’t.

Car insurance, insurance, nepa. All na scam.

Scam them too

This country is a serious joke and I don't know how the government reason or they all expect people to steal to meet up with living in the country.
Imagine this outrageous billing. A country with #30k minimum wage before tax. For a family of 4 (father, mother and 2 children) spending average of #500 each daily. #2k × 30 = #60k. Now even if the minimum estimated power bill is #10k/month, how do the government think people cope - vis-a-vis transport, feeding, school fees etc. Just Speechless �.
The whole thing just tire me. I beg let me stop before losing one's sanity.

brandsoncharlie:

What is the difference between a prepaid meter and the manual meter installed in someone's house?

Prepaid , when traveling out , u can remove your card . Nothing will be reading , when u come back u install your card back , manual is estimated bills
