You know about the meter bypass or you dont know?

Talk true?

I am not aware at all. I just don't know how to explain myself...

erico2k2:
you think we are all kids here right? you did the dirty and got caught, own up and move on, pay the damn fees lick your wounds and learn from it. Meters are brand new from the box when installed. They are unboxed and you have to register them, We all go fru same damn process, so this little pry 2 story you just told do not wash. You need a new meter ,so go and pay and acquire a new one simple,

You may choose not believe me but I am saying the truth. I know nothing, I paid for the meter also paid the technician that was assigned to install the meter, that's all..
To say the fact, the meter came blnewly inside a box, I still have the carton and accessories at hand.

twosquare:
Relax, breathe and stop disturbing yourself. It's not your fault but theirs. I was once slammed a fine for a meter they took themselves to repair. When they came, no meter there, they said na illegal connection. 250k straight. Shishi I no pay.

The person in charge came himself to refix it.

Now, which options do you have?

1) Pay mugu money in installments, which does not mean they will fix the problem. Some of those meters, when they have problems, difficult to fix.

2) Like 1Alex suggested, get a power station and solar panel to use light. Do not engage them

Thank you so much for your wonderful input.

bassdow:
if I were in your shoes, and can afford it, DUmp them and go 100% Solar.

trying to make amends by dancing to their tune means they WoN, hence likely to repeat same game again.

I sacked NEPA / PHCN while a tenant long while Yaradua was still the president. I was using Solar 100% yet continued paying NEPA bill to my landlord as him no gree hear. me gan no mind.

What they didn't know is, I was never gonna stay there forever. Since then till Now, I run Solar 100% and have even Sacked my Landlords join as I now own my own place.

You're doing well sir...
Those NEPA are just wicked soul...

How was your meter bypassed and you're not aware of it? There's no way your meter could have been tampered with without you being aware of it at least to some extent. Because you should have noticed that through your consumption, if your consumption is reading a lot lower than it is supposed to then you should have known that your meter has been bypassed, and if you have been using light for free then there's no way you can claim not to be aware of the tampering since you're the first user of that meter.

There's something you're not telling us.

Like I rightly said early on, I wasn't aware. It was the official who brought the meter also happens to bring the technician that install the meter for me. While I also noticed the meter not triggering off after a month it was installed I ran to him to complain and he told me probably the free unit that do come with new meter are still on it. Not long to that, while the meter hasn't trigger off, I recharge on the meter, it was then I noticed the meter was reading a negative value. I ran to him to still complain which he never heed to my complaint and I eventually got bursted by a meter monitoring team....
He got involved and he clearly told me he won't want a meter issue to take his job from him yet he's not giving a possible solution....

Imagine! I keep telling people that majority of our people are VERY WICKED & DUBIOUS in their disposition. The guy bypassed your metre without your consent and still wants 30k bribe? We can't grow a nation like this! Is this the fault of Bubu ir Tinub? Why won't politicians embezzle (our) public funds? Why won't they treat us rats when we ourselves are wicked to our fellow men? It's well,brother. I can imagine what you're going through. Help will come your way.

I am just tired and angry. This is a family friend for that matter, a senior NEPA official. A branch manager of one of the territory close to my proximity. He no more has my respect....

otipoju:
The correct word and spelling is " feasible ". Or you could use another word called " viable "

correction duly noted...

1Alex:
Instead of me to pay 250k for a new meter, I will add money and buy power station and enough solar panels that can power fridge during the day. At night I use power station.

Interesting...

Walezy2020:
It's a pity electricity providers dont want customers to get meter I will don't why
They made it difficult to get,even tarrif hike na wahala in some areas,they are collecting money indirectly for increase in supply that's why they came up with Bands(A,B,C etc)
Tell me the rate @ which Mr A & B consumes energy is it not the same?but like I said earlier they are collecting money indirectly because supply had improved..,they are extorting the masses & still be complaining of not making gains

They are wicked set of people. We are using our money to buy everything yet we are still frustrating the users...

Walezy2020:
We only have single and three phase prepaid meter

I mean the single 1 phase meter. Thanks for the correction...

mactoni91:
Meter Bypass is a criminal offense punishable by the law.

As long as you've been billed LOR and Penalty for meter bypass, you do not need to be scared anymore. Just visit their office for a payment plan and also to know if the meter can be corrected officially. If yes, fine. If no, you need to apply for a New meter.

Make sure you get official receipt for any payment you're making.

Thank you so much for this. I hope I could get a solution in repairing the meter. Applying for a new meter is not feasible for me at the moment.

Osgilliat:
First, only allow your meter provider official to inspect your meter, never allow those ones that wear uniform ie ikeja electric uniform to inspect your meter. They are not authorized to check your meter, bad ones among them use scope tk check your meter and then bypass it without your consent. They will they go behind your back to report you to meter official who will now fine you and put you on direct connection which means you will be getting huge bills to pay every month(the main motive).
Back to your matter, the guy that install your meter did you dirty. He was the one that bypass it without your consent then likely reported you meter officials. As you can see he is already helping you out to retrieve your wire.your wire is your property, they shouldn’t have taken it away. They should have used it connect you direct.
You can’t repair the meter anymore. It’s been deactivated from their own side.
Negotiate with them on the fine, pay it and request for another meter. That’s the only way out.

These Phcn are ripping people off but their time are coming to an end soon. Once states starts to oversee their activities themselves, hopefully things will change.

This break my heart. Before I could get that meter, I went through hell. It took the official 6 good months to bring the meter to me after making payment, even collected more than the amount required for a meter.
I wouldn't want to request for a new meter as the price for a single phase meter is now 150k and I got it for 100k that year instead of the initial price of 80k...
I hope I get a solution in repairing the meter...

Thank you for your input.

Y'all should pls come to my aid...

Dear nairalanders
I hope you all are well.
I bring to you this issue I am currently facing, a squad of meter monitoring team bursted my apartment and while a check was carried out on the meter, it was discovered that it has been internally bypassed which was totally unknown to me. After dragging back and forth, and the official who got the meter for me was involved, I was disconnected, meter removed and handed to me, wire taken away, and a sum of 451k was slammed as fine.
Recently, the official who got the meter for me reached out to me, he told me I should bring 30k to retrieve the wire and when I asked him what about fixing the meter, he'd brushed me off.

During the heated argument with the meter monitoring team, I was told some wires has been cut off inside the meter which I am sure it wasn't from me.

I would like to know if this meter can be fix by a technician so it can continue to work normally rather than taking it to their office where I don't know what else they would charge me in the cause of finding solutions to the meter.

Thank you.

.... Marriage different sha....

Some pple na their parent go feed them till their leg go balance well well...

Very common with Yorubas...and it's a good idea...a lot of my mates married through this route..and most are doing fine now.

Anyway, regardless of what u are earning now ..it's just a phase, don't stay there...

keep moving, keep walking, keep looking for ideas, keep asking questions...keep solving problems....keep believing!!

You are absolutely right lol.
If not for this same pattern u mentioned, I would av been miserable or even gone 6ft with responsibilities. The month I resigned from my 20k hotel job out of frustration where about 15k goes to transportation, which also was the same month I got a loan of 1M to start up a business I have envisioned, my girlfriend (now wife) ran to me that she got pregnant. I was really devastated and trouble minded, after dragging back ND forth, I used half of the money to settle bills that comes with pregnancy ND did small introduction and she moved in with us in the family house. The other half of the money I used on a charcoal business wic didn't even manifest and it pack up few months later as the price of product skyrocket in the market.
To tell u it was my mom and my elder sister who kept me grounded as I do not have to bother majorly on food and I do so when I have enough from the little I earn from a patry teaching job I picked up whereas I have to provide for wife ND my daughter. I also do enjoy the support of my wife as she also has her business and we all just managing through.
I am very hopeful things will turn around, I am just buttressing ur point as u do not find anything bad to it, if not for this pattern, alot out there would av gone mad.....

If there's no support anywhere, if one like mk e go marry with 30k, him body go tell am....

Namaster:
"Spend below what you earn. This is where a lot of couples run into avoidable problems. With #62,OOO monthly, you should not live in an apartment more than 6Ok annual rent."

You don't need a soothsayer to tell you Seun Oladele is a SILLY boy who got his hands on one of those personal finance books.

You will NEVER find a habitable apartment for #60,000 per YEAR. Except maybe somewhere in Borno State.

Also getting married on a #30k or even #60k salary is just being dumb. That's NOTHING!

Deduct transport fare from that money and it's even LESS than nothing.

Whatever is left after Tfare would not even be enough to feed ONE person not to talk of feeding a FAMILY.

Also the idea that you could get married in January at a salary of #30k and MAGICALLY be on a salary of #200k by March is RIDICULOUS.

While not completely impossible, such leap in salary is RARE and UNLIKELY.

There is NO difference between planning your life on something like that and playing BetNaija as a viable financial strategy.

It's just STUPID!

You're factual the op is delusional...

Same way the fear of Biochemistry almost pushed me. Med students especially in part 3 need to look out for others.
It's so unfortunate the medical school system in this part of the world is designed to make you fail.

He clearly suffered him self. I also worked with one chairman from Abuja who's find of slapping the worker. I used to tell my colleague then if he tried such nonsense with me I will reply him with same resounding slap and me and him go put two leg for one trouser hole.....

milly96:
i had to send wes a message and they said im not supposed to make any payment and i should visit nipost. omo i left it for them o. after all i have the soft copy already

Oh that's nice
Pls can I ask how u made Ur payment to Wes. I am about making payment and I have been having difficulty with it. Someone told me GTB mastercard do allow dollar online transaction and I am about going to open an account with GTB. Pls do u have an idea on this or any means I can make use of to pay to Wes...
Secondly, I have already submitted an application for Wes ICAP credentials evaluation and a reference number generated but I'm yet to make payment so I later decided to go for Wes basic evaluation but I do not see the option to modify from ICAP to Basic. Is it advisable I creat another account and pick the basic option then make payment. Hope my first submitted application with reference number already generated won't cause confusion with my application.

milly96:
Pls after paying for the standard delivery for Wes, do you still pay for delivery in Nigeria? Because the dispatcher that came to deliver the document asked me to pay 3500 which I refused and he withheld my document.

Lol pls how do u resolve this...

This credential verification is very tricky.

We had a recent situation (with WES) in June of this year and this was how it panned out:

1. Since WES was a requirement for admission, there were no alternatives. Registration was done on WES, with all the necessary details but payment was not made.

2. ETX,ng was contacted to get the process done and it was discovered that if you ask ETX to contact your Nigerian school, you're on a long thing. It's better you contact your school yourself, pay the necessary fees and give them ETX details. So, register your details on ETX and then get the codes and give it your school.

3. Depending on how long it takes for your school to process the transcript (federal and state schools take between 2-4 weeks), once ETX receives your transcript directly from the school through that secure channel, they will send to WES within 24-48 hours.

4. Once ETX confirmed that they have sent it. We followed up with WES to be sure they received it and the details are intact. We paid WES (using an international card to bypass all that Naija banks wahala).

This is WES on Facebook (https://web.facebook.com/WorldEducationServices). They are pretty quick in their DMs and Contact option on their website (wes.org).

Now pray to God that WES do not do a wrong evaluation.

Also check out ETX.ng. They respond to Emails faster than DMs.

Both organizations have not-so-good reviews online (as there are lots of issues with their processes, but with God, patience and some smarts, you can navigate through.

Good day sir, pls I would like to ask for Ur input. My school prepare my transcript in a sealed envelope and handed over to me to go about sending it to Wes myself. Pls which courier service do you think I can use in faxing my credentials. I have tried registering on etx.ng but to no avail...
