Good afternoon to everyone. Nigerchin cable manufacturer release their new price list this week and percentage increase is about 35% for the single core cables. Remember the notification was sent 3 weeks before the implementation of the new price.

Now other cable manufactures are ready to follow the same procedure now since all of them are importing raw materials from oversea. Things are not working normal in this country. Imagine 35% increase and there is no regulatory body controlling price in this country of ours. God will help us . .

My Advice to people now is that if you have the opportunity to buy your cable and keep pls quickly do before others increase their price.

and other are yet to communicate their new price to distributors.

Thanks

Pls take Note of this

Thank you sir.

Thanks

You are welcome sir

Pls let us be careful about our wiring of our project or house. Somebody called me on Monday to inspect an apartment in IKOYI , they have electrical issues and three of their AC's got burnt in the last four month. We went there and carry out power audit. We discovered that all the socket outlets and AC switches has no earth cable . We saw earth pit chamber within the compound and also 4mm green earth cable run from earth pit to only ground floor distribution and there is no continuation to the first floor distribution board. Anytime there is surge in that area definitely it will affect one or two things in the house and this surge normally occur when there is power supply from PHCN. We plugged electric kettle to one of the socket outlets, the body of the kettle conduct electricity. The electrician only earth the distribution and not the entire house . The body of kitchen , the washing machine and some other electrical appliances are conducting

TAKE NOTE OF THE ANALYSIS BELOW

Lighting
You can use RED and BLACK cable only, reason is because there is no earth terminal in most of the light fittings they produce nowadays

SOCKET
2.5mm RED, BLACK and use 1.5mm green as the earth cable. And remember the same number of coils of cable is require for this. I have seen messages t from people requesting for 2.5mm
Red 3coils
Black 2coils
No green ...
The quantities above is wrong and incomplete
A. The quantities of RED must be the same with quantities of BLACK because they are both running from the same DB to each socket. The only area where we normally have more RED. than BLACK is when we are doing cable for lighting. The reason is that neutral doesn't connected to switch except you want to use smart switch

B. Earth cable is missing.and earth cable must have the same quantities as RED and BLACK

AC
4mm RED, BLACK and 2.5mm GREEN. And they must all have the same quantities since the are to connect to distribution boards down the AC switch .

Also the main earth cable to building always depend on the size of load cable used

If your load cable is 16mm IEE permit 10mm to serve as your earth cable.

Most time your earth cable can serve as neutral ONLY IF your neutral fails . That's why it very important and necessary to earth your building ..

If your neutral fail and there is no earth cable to serve as neutral your voltage can go as high as 300V and witt thus high voltage alot of things will get damage

Pls always insist on earth cable especially for your
- SOCKET
-AC OUTLET AND AC SWITCHES
-COOKER SOCKET

Good morning

rmx:
Na wa , I should be starting another project soon , maybe I should take the plunge and start my usual advance purchases . When is the last day to key in ? I no come Dey again

This is right time if you want to buy or stick cables now. Coleman cable can wake up tomorrow and said they have change their price . They don't give notice at all . Nigrchin gave 3 weeks notice before they change their price.

sonnie10:
Now compare that to the 62% increase in dollar
for copper
200% increase in local content which is petrol and diesel.
That would be an average of 130% increase in cost for them.

You are correct sir, the cost of diesel is now N830 / litre .. Even electricity tariff has also increase .. People are going through a lot in this country. may God help us .

sonnie10:
Price control is not the solution. That will lead closure of factories and people will lose jobs. Trust me, the owners of these companies are already rich and connected in the business world. They will simply go into other profitable ventures. That vacuum will enable substandard products.
The fish is rotten from the head. Manufacturers are struggling to get dollars. It was reported today that despite the high cost of rice, millers are operating at a loss due to exchange rates. At $1 to #900 the cable companies cannot be in the same financial position they were about a year ago. Let’s remember that the copper the main components of cabal wire is actually imported with dollars.
I remember when I bought the cables from you, dollar was $1 to #550. The percentage increase in dollar/naira exchange rate as at today is 62%. The companies have only increased price by 35%. This maths is clear enough for any rational consumer not to cry greed. 25% decrease in revenue can collapse a company.
This price increase might not even be sustainable, except if they were making 100% profit initially, which is impossible in a competitive market.

Sir, they have increased the price like 2 times after you bought yours. This last increase will be 3rd time they will change their prices. If I calculate the percentage increase after your last order now is about 76%

jhide264:
Can you send me the materials required thanks

Yes but can I have the plan of the House. Also can you chat ne in 08033643191

Call us today

Please my Ogas try to use quality electrical equipment for your project either rented apartment or your personal house. My neighbour house caught fire on Saturday due to high voltage supplied by PHCN . The DB circuit breakers refuse to trip off during this process and most of the cable got melted. Thank God people came to help him

Pls try to use quality materials for your project. So many people have prepaid meter now and they normally switch off so many things to save energy or consumption on their units. Sometimes the voltage increase to 250V, 260V. If your protective devices are not strong enough to withstand this high voltage from PHCN , Hmmmm

Akerewe:
The prices are not ok, break it down 👇

U mean 20,000 for 5 bundles? Or a bundle is 20,000? For the 20mm pipe, which brand?

The 25mm pipe price is outrageous, watch!

U box per pack or per 2 packs is 3,000??

20mm coupler price is ok

The iron box prices, is it per pack or per 5 pack?

The distribution board??

Workmanship is ok but u can still negotiate small.

The price of those pipes are too low. Not sure the electrician quoted for original pipe. Based on the amount for 5bundles of 20mm @ 20,000, it means a bundle 4,000naira.

FEGEITOK:
Please how much is wire today? 1.5mm and 2.5mm full coil. Superior Nigerian Cable please.

Price in Abuja

Coleman's price is not stable these days . They changed their price last Friday and presently I don't have their new price . I have Nigerchin, and kabelmetal, Nigerchin increase their price 2weeks ago and they are planning to increase again on 29th August

ceelog:
@twinskenny and @topsy2 pelase help me this:
1.5mm wire (red and black) with 1mm green are for lightbulbs, ceiling fans and spotlights

2.5mm wire (red and black) with 1.5mm green are for parlour/room sockets

4mm (all colors) are for electric cooker and water heater.

Nb: All are high grade Nigerian cables.

Any modifications?
I have seen electricians using original 1.5mm for room sockets. Advisable?

Using 1.5mm for socket not really advisable BUT if the number of socket on that circuit is not more than 3 or max is 4nos. Remember most of this sockets are redundant for weeks without using them. Also, make sure no heating appliance is plugged to them . The permissible current for the 1.5mm cable is 23A..

The 1mm is for Traveller (for 2-way switching). Most of the LED light has no earth terminal
