I use to hear "inflation is coming down.

I do not see how it is coming down o.
N10,000 only gives me around 40kwh of electricity which lasts me for only 2weeks to power

•my AC for like 1hr daily
•Fridge is powered for around 10hrs
•Ceiling fan is powered for around 15hrs daily
•And 3 light bulb around for 7hrs.

I spend around 20k monthly on just light bill.
Light bill and rent alone cost around 55k per month, rent is 400k per year. it outrageous.

my brother that is not using prepaid meter spends just 5k per month.

Don't worry as it won't last, it's one of the sacrifices you have to make to ensure that Peter Obi learns a bitter political lesson.

Our darling drug dealer will make it better as he worked at Mobile and performed similar magic in Lagos.

I on AC for only 5mins and put it off when the room is cold, I do this like 7-10 times a day.

I put of everything when I leave house in the morning and put them back on in the evening.
I don't see how I should be spending 20k on light bill, it doesn't make sense

Mogbe, how u deh use ur own light?

The only thing I enjoy from the bandA is that I deh get up to 20-21hrs light, the price is not income friendly

How much did you buy gas per kg pls

U are lucky,I am on band A but that isn't my problem,my expenses per month is close 1.2million naira.

It's as if I am not making progress at all,just this first quarter of the year,I expended about #5,996,000. When I checked my expense book,it was like a dream honestly.

But sincerely speaking,If i had depended on my salary,I would have ran mad.

I am just wondering if those that are not working are feeling the heat of this istration,cos they seem not to be complaining like us.

My rent per month for a two bedroom apartment in Abuja here is #208,300. For a year it's #2,500,000.

House hold expenses wants to kill me oooh my country people.

If N10k last you for 2 weeks which simply means 20k per month, then that is fair pricing when you have like 20hrs per day. Electricity is not cheap anywhere. Na decades of subsidy make this pricing look weird.

We just need to ensure we increase wages so people can afford basic things like electricity.

Affordability is the main problem here. If we can have massive jobs and increased wages, then it will be easier for the populace to afford things.

which kind yeye lie be this?

Categorization of electricity into bands is one of the most stupid things this govt did.

Everyone should have 24/7 electricity, and everyone should be billed the same. But no. The scam called Band A.

And the power minister is already hinting at hiking electricity costs. Again.

richmond500:

If u can't fathom it pls,face ur front. I am not here to impress u.

U called it a lie, while in reality that is my ordeal.
I am speaking for myself.

If u check below,that is my April expenses in red pen together with my quarterly expenses.

Note: I earn very big.

U are Richmond and yet,u are in doubt.

😫

Firebox123:
i use 5k per month with light on,pumping machine with AC

Sometimes it seems some are paid to deceive others,5k on band A,means 20kwh.Just pumping water alone from the borehole can take 90% of that within 2wks,Once you on the AC for 4 hours a day,it can take more than 2 units daily,then your fridges ,television,lightnings and other electrical appliances will burn up the rest within 5 days .
How then did you come up with what you are saying?

Honestly it's been 2 years I installed prepaid meter,before then,the useless light was not available. The moment I installed the prepaid meter,the light now became stable and I've never one day turn on my AC. I only do with solar.once I pump water,iron ,I turn back to solar.money must not finish

snap pics make we see

You way your house no get roof

Where I live in Abeokuta I use an average of 10 to 30 Units per day and more than use 555 to 650 units per month in my apartment as I have multiple Air Conditioners (4 AC) to be exact plus I leave my Fridge and Freezers on 24/7. Plus I'm on band B so I can pay 10k and get 138 units, with my monthly bill around 45k per month but I get light of band A in my area, I mostly have around 20 hours of light every day, this is why I'm not coming back to lagos for a while, life is good over here

I am jealous of you. Before I stopped using Napa completely, I was spending 170k/month on electricity in my two bedroom apartment. Appliances includes: deep freezer, fridge, 1.5hp ac (10to 15hrs daily), fans, bulbs, kitchen electronics, 3 tvs. Now I am completely off grid through the use of solar


*modify - I see people asking my solar set up:

Initially, I was using nepa together with a 2.5kva inverter + 2pcs 220ams battery (no s). After I relocated to a new place with band A, the elect bill suffocated me. I discarded my both nepa and upgraded my solar system. Now I am using a 10kva inverter, 15kwh lithium battery and 16pcs of 500w s in my 3 bedroom apartment. This powers my freezer, inverter fridge, washing machine, water dispenser, 2pcs of 1.5hp ac, 4pcs TV, fans and bulbs. Mind you, solar will make you learn load management even more than when you are using nepa. All the applainces are on from 8am to 5pm. Then I start switching off some so I can use my ac at night (I put ac at 28/29 degrees + fan to circulate the cold air). Not for one day have a gone even for 10 minutes without light since I put this set up. Solar is expensive no doubt, but it is worth it at the end
