You will keep waiting.

Yeah right. It's a scam. Please don't fall for it.

Betcrusher:
you don't mean it! Is the money shared among government workers only or both private and government?

The money is for any individuals and businesses. Business who do not get rid of staff get their loan forgiven.

However it is not free. The money comes from our taxes and we will have to pay taxes on what we receive but it helps.

adanny01:
What does that have to do with overestimating bill of an innocent customer?

I went to complain in their district office and thats what they were telling me. I asked them whether i was the one who bypassed the meter?

The ones they catch pay for the ones that get away.

Iko5000:
Mr Foreigner, where in the world do you pay for Darkness and to add insult increase the price for having darkness .I beg park well

You are right. I wouldn't want to pay for darkness but if no one ever pays the darkness never leaves. A perpetual trap. They can't fix it so no one pays. No one pays so they can't afford to improve.

NoToPile:
You still dont get the problem, the estimated bills are too high.

If you have 30k per month and you pay 10k the remaining 20k is still added to the next month and it keeps piling, some house rents are even 20k per month. Prepaid meter users dont use up to that amount.

100k is easy to accumulate just within 5-6 months.

Its not about people not paying the bills, they pay a fraction. You dont expect people to pay 20k for darkness.

I met a debt of over 300k in my own apartment we rented for the 2years it was unoccupied, who will pay for it.

Agreed

mumu9gerian:
Since you are a foreigner, let me educate you.
Why a lot of people have outstanding is because the bills the DISCOs bring is outrageously high ànd unrealistic.
They even bill empty houses

Same problems here. The state tried to sale the electricity supply in a secret bid and was only barely defeated. The CEO and boardmembers get bonuses and pensions even though they were fired. Overcharge although you are using solar panels. Sometimes the government is not our friend.

Under16:
Have you been served this month's bill? If yes. Let's see how much. Reports reaching our ears says discos are doubling infact trippling the bills...for what na?

Last month it was announced that customers shouldn't pay more than expected, isn't? So why are the discos hiking the price of electricity this month?

This is an estimated billing for March amount was times 2 of the previous amount...for an area that can't boast of reasonable supply of electricity in a day. Which way Nigeria? Which way PHEDC? Exploitation! Robbing the masses!

Eko customers, Ikeja customers, Adamawa customers, Enugu customers etc how far? How much were you billed this March?

As a foreigner I can now see why Nigeria has such poor power supply. No one pays their bills. Almost everyone who posted a bill had more than 100k in outstanding debt. If that is a common problem how do you all expect the utility companies to run the business?

vincentjk:
I run a shop where building materials is sold and the only light I use is just my security light which I put on from 6pm-7am and my neighbour who sells provision without fridge, television or fan, just running his lowkey shop with one or two bulbs

And this was the last bill they brought to us lmao, we begged them 4k dem no gree naso we vex tell dem make dem come cut their light. for more than a year now I've no business with nepa at my shop and I'm okay like this. Thieves

So that what about what you didn't pay off last month?

moscobabs:
Just two bedroom flat

If you paid each month completely you wouldn't have such a huge debt.

COdeGenesis:
How many hours of light do you have in a day? Why did you hide your account no. Where do yiu live? Before you talk of exploitation let us know this details

He had a previous debt which is why it is so high

ArticleBeast:
What is the current bill amount?

18,295

Oyerinde16:
Lemme bring snap my bill
OK... 3 bedroom flat with no much electrical gadget, No ac no electric cooker, No deep freezer, just fan, TV, phone charging and bulbs
My friend using prepaid buys appx 1k per month...
My landlord forget your next year rent... Aswear.
He promise prepaid meter since last year.
Its Ilorin kwara state
We enjoy light about 16-18 hours a day @ my location.

But isn't so hight because you had a previous debt which was added to the total?

kinglee007:
i think it will be better run at night during sleep when other appliances must have been turned off. Since it retains ice for long, that time is fine by me. But from your experience, what will you suggest or advice?

Not that you asked but thawing and refreezing food multiple times cannot be healthy.

MiosheEmpire1:
In my area dey av even downgrade us to 3hrs per day.
dey will bring d lite@exactly 10am and dey will take it@exactly 1pm

Do companies have onsite generators? How can a restaurant or a brokerage office exist in such conditions?

Lostz:
he started speaking out just recently to gain public sympathy.


imagine a man with many wives and kids advising people to have less kids and one wife? is he not supposed to lead by example?

Well he can't very well divorce his wives and disown the kids now that he has them. Maybe he was trying to use his circumstance to show how difficult it is for the ordinary man to practice polygamy much less him who has wealth.

article1:
Now that you have expires it.....

Is it supposed to mean something since you keep repeating the same thing in multiple posts? Are you feeling the effects of being ignored as a child?

LadySarah:
His grammar sad,the situation sadder and the 20k forcefully taken by the police saddest.
Can Nigeria change?

I don't think you had to make the rude comment about his grammar. Maybe focus on what is actually important which is the content.

Oshiomhole is a short man and short people hardly forgive. Their hearts are so near to the ground and far from God.


Obaseki, run for your dear life.

I never heard that saying. Very funny.

What does that mean? Not Nigerian.

Watch "Nigeria and Biafra (1968)" on YouTube

I am from the USA and I saw a copy of an American journalist doing a report of the conflict during the war. It has helped me understand the Nairaland.com atmosphere a bit more. It's just said that it seems the British drew up borders around a country that never existed and you all are still dealing with the aftermath.

Perhaps worry more about the sexual abuse and harrassment of young girls and women in Nigeria rather than worry what consenting adults do in America.

gcof:
just the first thing I noticed. I wonder how people feel confortable working without safety apparels especially those working with heavy materials

I did not think those were the workers. I thought maybe they lived there and came to investigate. God forbid they work in such an environment in flip flops and shorts. No OSHA in Nigeria. Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Na your family house and destinies una go sell next. Brainless Gluttons

No sympathy from you I guess

Guess you never made a mistake.

Gravity is a lie

GoFundMe

Always money first for transactions such as these.

generalissimo:
Nothing wey we no go see here o! People, abeg con see a mad Psychologist ooo

Could you please translate the phrase?

Ojady:
What I see is a driver, who has a fastidious Oga, who will dock him for the repair of the scratch on the car, out of a monthly wage that is highly insufficient and usually gone by the 5th of the month... and so, perhaps if i fight the scratcher enter gutter and my Oga (the owner) sees on social media, he will not charge me and be convinced the scratch was no fault of mine...
I mean, no true owner will descend to such extent over a scratch rather, Nigerian big man oppressor-mentality would have inclined to call the Police

Why do Nigerians get naked to fight? So no blood on your clothes? Or so the other person cannot hold onto you easily?

Wow all of the trouble daily, rampant excused graft, and multiple lives lost and this is what Nigerian mothers are concerned with.

Are the homosexuals the ones wreaking havoc in Jo's? What about the fulani rampant homosexuals I keep reading about on this forum killing and destroying entire towns? I think Nigeria should focus on actual issues rather than worry what adults do with consenting adults. Oh are the homosexuals responsible for all the corruption and graft? Maybe the are the reason Nigeria ranks so high on all the lists ranking failed nation? Worry less about God and more about your fellow Nigerian regardless of tribe or religion. That's what true religious leaders would advise for the nation of Nigeria.
