It's better though than paying for power you didn't use.

I know what I saw with my eyes before I ran to collect prepaid meter.

.... did you collect or you have to pay for it ?

Teenaira:


I am really getting confused o.

I thought they said these electricity companies are now privatized. Wetin come concern government with a private company ?

It seems the electricity companies are cheating both Nigerians through estimated billings and the government through funding.

thats the irony, gov get hand put, E get why

“For every reason it’s not possible, there are hundreds of people who have faced the same circumstances and succeeded.” – Jack Canfield

Electricity meter troubles has been with us for over 2 decades since Obasanjo's time. Just an ordinary meter.

So shameful

Big long story

Collect ke I paid for it. I was lucky that period sef.

Since when have they been planning this without serious action?

The wicked cabal won't allow this see the light of day.

[Thank you for what u will pay for una get sense at allquote author=SoftSport post=135588255] This is a good plan, thank you to president Tinubu, the messiah, for helping stop the bad estimated light bills.

[If u like go their office Dem go milk u. Fraud and robbery everywhere.quote author=Raregem9000 post=135588527]Story! Not new to us. Audio meter. Single phase meter is now 140 something thousand thereabout. Believe Nigerian governments at your own risk. Na so Ogun Governor promised some areas in the state 247 electricity last February, no one has come out to tell us why the promise is yet to be fulfilled. [/quote]

[quote author=christejames post=135588305]FG has been planning this since the dawn of the 21st century ;DTinubu is not in their set, he is different.
He promised improved power supply, in your mind, has it impeoved yes or No?
He promised no more strike for our students, for two years,have they fone on strike?
He promised student loan, has it been executed ?
He peomise tax Reform ,has it done that ?
He promised Lagos calabar,and other road infrastructure, has he commences?
This is just two years, you don't expect 100 years problem be solved in 2 years.

Now he promised this,lets wait and see.

Good!
Because it's a plan,let it Materialise fast and let the Masses feel the Impacts.
The Public- will Ask Questions On This In A Years Time.
But the present Configuration of Old DISCOS - Full of Corruption -cannot get the govt there,as they need another Neutral Body to achieve this laudable Project.

Plans?

Lobish, we can buy meters, just regulate the sales. and 7 millions ahah really? we need at least a 100 million.

Oga, I don’t know who to pity more, you or those people that liked your comment ?I am not a fan of Tinubu, but you saying at least 100 million metres needed shows how ignorant you are of what is actually needed. If population is estimated to be about 300 million (speculatively. Could be higher or lower than that. It was a little over 220 million as at 2023 ) and you say we need at least a 100 million metres thereby goes to show invariably that one out of three persons in Nigeria should have a prepaid metre. Do you get it now ? Do you think a metre is half bag of rice that can be shared to 300 million households in a ratio of 1:3 ? How many people own houses in Nigeria currently ? We have a population of say around 300 million and you want 200 million metres to be rolled out ? lol. Ignorance is all I see. For your info Oga, I have not researched on it, but Oga that 7 million metres should be more than enough if they can keep to their promise.


Out of the around 300 million citizens, I believe majority are either children or under the age of 18. Abi do you also want the government to give school children metres to take to school or what ? Make we dey try use our brains small abeg

Oga you lie a very big lie. How many prepaid metres are residential. How many are commercial ? You have got nothing. I have the stats with me. School yourself from your ignorance first talking about them rolling out 200 million metres and owning 7 businesses that exist only in your imagination . Making you dey use prepaid for your seven akara and puff puff shops spread across Nigeria. LOL.

What I expected you to say as most sensible people here have is to make the metres available on the open market but with a chip to unlock after purchasing and installing the metre which can be gotten from only PHCN alone. That way it can be regulated.

Businesd men can make money from the shipment, distribution and sales of the metre, while PHCN monitors it's usage through checks.

If you were even a bit sensible, you would know that one building can use a prepaid metre and then a personal metre ( gotten from the open market)can be installed to monitor what each flat/shop/apartment/house consumes to avoid cheating and to create equity and fairness. Thats what we do in our building. The metre is wired by a specialist and can't be altered or tampered with. The main source comes from PHCN. If they can give us that 7 million AND DISTRIBUTE IT EVENLY AND ACCORDINGLY, I still say this and I stand on it, no household will be on estimated billing anymore. 7 million is MORE THAN ENOUGH !!!!

Like I said earlier, use your brain. 200 million metres ko, 1.9 billion metres ni.

THIS WOULD BE MY LAST REPLY TO YOU. TAKE CARE !!!!

So nah only million people dey pay for electricity in naija .and what happens to the rest . I can't signs of naija call developed nation in next 30 years

I think you are talking from you back age, What does all that gibbrish got to do with the subject matter
I pointed your brain to the fact that non residential points that needs prepaid metres would consume up to nearly 40 percent of my stipulated figure you are here talking like you are drunk off new wine.
if you make 7million meters available that would be consumed by the churches we have in Nigeria, if you add another 10 million that will be consumed by all the hair saloons we have in Nigeria. I happen to be privy to an info,Obi akpor LGA in rivers state has 300 ed as owning salons .Howmany welding shops do you think need prepaid and mechanics or yout hink we need meters only for residential areas. Some Biz men and women here have up to 10 shops.In my yard in PH, I paid and acquired 5 meters, 4 for tenants 1 3phase for myself.
SOme of you lot need brain reboot I swear down

The real saboteurs are the Nepa staff as any improvement that will not let them collect will be byed.

Also the good ones amongst them are classed as too know and constantly receives threats from the old men in the area.
