For the past one week, they want to kill us with electricity. We used to have at least 15hours a day, sometimes it goes up, but it is approx 24 hours now.

It feels like they just take it make the transformer cool small and it is back again.

Is this general?
I mean, NATIONWIDE?

I forgot to add that our tariff was quietly increased last month.

I hope this change would be permanent.

Reporting from Amukoko, Lagos.

I said something about that some weeks back. It's like that in Lagos only. Cos I have a friend in Kano who's been ranting about darkness and how he's been consuming fuel for his business.

Same with the SE as well, EEDC is dealing with them over there. The enjoyment as I've come to notice is strictly for Lagos residents only.

One more thing...I'll suggest you load your prepaid as much as possible cos from what I'm hearing, tariff would be increased by over 40% from 1st July (next month). If possible load it in such a way that it would last you till January next year. I overloaded mine last night.

Exactly. If it is Lagos only, it defies the rainy season argument. You don't want to see how many units I have currently. I used vex to load my prepaid meter.

It's only Lagos. Cos I've been calling people based outside Lagos and they've all been complaining seriously about the epileptic power NEPA has been giving them...it's even worse in the SS and SE.

It certainly defiles the rainy season argument, cos Lagos is currently building her own power station and from what I'm hearing, they're already relieving some power stations of their heavy workloads so more stations are becoming free cos they wouldn't need to be regulated anymore since they're no longer being overworked. Hence the improved power supply

Lol@ your last paragraph. That's exactly what happened to me last night. I'm even projecting my units to finish by January next year. I don't have strength for this istration.

if you’re using prepaid meter, just be enjoying the light while it last because Tinubu has increased the Tariff unit plan and it’s gonna take effect from July 1st.
I used to load 150 units for 10k and it would last me for 3 weeks. But starting from next month, 10k will give me between 110 - 95 units and I’m sure it would last me for just a week and few days.

Its really crazy

Hope you're paying your tithes, because it would be a sin against heaven to have all these goodies in your fridge and your pastor is sleeping hungry.

Yea, I heard the news. I work remotely, so I am not fixated or bothered about cost of electricity and data. It can't be compared to the transportation cost and physical stress of commuting to a physical workplace in Lagos.

It is an abomination to tell a prophet to see ice block. You'll have to come for spiritual cleansing with one live goat so that I'll pray for your sins.

Eko and Ikeja are the best distribution companies in Nigeria. Most of Nigeria is in darkness. My side is like 6 hours daily.

Most likely Awka and maybe Onitsha. Other parts of the state would definitely be in darkness.

If petroleum marketers were paying them to ration the electricity so that we would buy fuel so they can collect more subsidy. What do you think PHCN or whatever they are called will do when that subsidy money is nolonger coming from the petroleum marketers?

Na to carry the light flood una na. In my area even when rain as heavy as a hurricane is falling they don't take the light again and before you know one explosion and the transformer goes home...and before 24hrs they will repair the transformer ...the thing come dey surprise me...i mean the efficiency of the repairs.

Why do you think PHCN or whatever they call themselves nowadays can still be in business even when 80% of s are bying their useless meter. Na subsidy money dey keep them in business.

If you know Nigeria you will not need anybody to interpreted any occurrence for you in this country.
