I'm very sad this morning. I bought 10k worth of electricity units, and got only 41 units. I bought 5k worth last week Friday, and got 68units!!! I told a friend, and she decided to do 1k. Well... She got 4.1😭😭😭. We didn't even know we are on the BAND A! We barely get 12-15 hours of power daily. Some days, we don't even get 10 Hours! Ahhhh!!! AEDC, I don't want to be in Band A anymore 😭😭😭, take me to Band F! BAND Y seems like a good idea right now.

5k worth finishes with in a week or so in my house. I'm just an average random fellow on the street, trying to make ends meet.

I have to it, being a good citizen doesn't pay anymore ooo... Ahhh... AEDC... 41 units for 10k? Are you trying to send me back to the village? Do you know how many jobs I have to do to raise that 10k? Is there something we should do that we are not doing? Tell us ooo, AEDC tell us what to do; because I'm not ready to start paying an upward of 70k for power in a month. I'm sorry, but you know what I'm planning right? No vex

Tinubu have hold op for blockus. Clap for Tinubu lol..... Next election vote him again grin

Lol... If the next elections was to happen right now between Tinubu and Sowore, Sowore would win! Because what is all these hikes of prices?

PS: I didn't vote for him. I voted someone else I believed would favour me and more Nigerians. Unfortunately, he didn't win. But we moooveeee

Nigerians want 24 hours power but aren't ready to pay for it.

For them, 24 hours power supply should be free.

Reason why they hate a working system

And to your working system. Labor is free ba? Who pays 30K minimum wage in this day and age. Is your brain defunct. How do citizens pay for your working system with 30k minimum wage idiot shocked

I said make I put your complaint to test now. I already knew that I'm on band A, 1000 naira used to give me 10 units before (N100 per unit) till this morning when I tested yesterday's information on new tariff by recharging 5000 naira that gave me 50 units, 12 units was for prepaid meter refund (I should have recharged 50,000 naira this morning, chai!)

So, I put your complaint to test now. 100 naira gave 0.4 unit grin grin grin. This means that I need N250 to get 1 unit (kwh).

This is even less than 100% increment, go and celebrate. Get a Solar and stop buying card.
Seems like you don't know Mathematics. That's like over 200% increment. It is 150% increment in my area, from 100 naira to 250 naira

Those people wanted to wreck me.

You still won't pay even if you earn a million Naira monthly.

You just want hand-outs and freebies. That's your definition of a good government.

Those bands exist. Some parts of town enjoy power supply more than others. Places with a high concentration of industries in a state are more likely to enjoy power more than middle-class residential areas. Highbrow residential areas are more likely to enjoy power more than slums.

However, the problem of our discos is that they will implement this new policy the Nigerian way, meaning that everyone is automatically in Band A grin
That's very true. Those bands exist. I live in Ota and we do enjoy up to 20 hours electricity in a day.

The new review allows you to report to NERC on the customer self-reporting portal asking for reclassification if you are not getting up to 20 hours a day of power.

grin grin grin
You don't believe that, do you?

And you think N250 per unit is what we need to have a working system? In the next five years, we will still be talking of frequent national grid collapse and 4000 megawatts generation grin grin grin

They never planned to spare any household...!

That increase for Band A was never going to work!

How many households see up to 20 hours light daily?!! In the whole of Naija!


Lol... That would mean no subsidy has been removed at all.

Imagine our household is categorized as Band A but can't burst of 20hrs Supply

You summed up yourself in one useless statement. You think everyone is a thieving thief like yourself.

This is not good looking at all. My meter has been faulty since last year and I have returned it to them. They're yet to bring it back so I'm literally enjoying free light. .

U stay in ghana?
What do you do there?
Mrniceguy007:
Awon, Ghana and other African country things is cheaper than Nigeria, afar na? I stayed in Ghana for close to 6years and the most we spent on light was 450cedis, no cap!!!
Places like Ga West municipal, Ghana, with estimated bill and 24 hours light pays 200-250cedis for light!
Before Tinubu istration go end, Nigeria will be the most expensive country to live in in the whole of Africa just watch!
Ghana minimum is 1400cedis, that close to 120k in naira!!!
