We can't be paying for what we are not using.

We have light here for 24 hours in a year.

Enough is enough. Fashola step up your game. I stand with Sapele people on this.

This is fantastic painful I am not around. How can we have power plant and yet no light.

Hmmmmm... OK den

The protest is indeed massive! The busy road leading to Warri was blocked. We were forced to take alternative route to Warri to bycut Amukpe roundabout.
Even within the town every is green leaves a sign is solidarity.
All road s should be careful around SAPELE because of the volatility of the environment!

Fashola should make use of d Sapele water nd generate more light for them

Lalasticlala pls move to front page.

3hours of power in 24 hours isnt fair especially when this same town actually generates power.

If you receive 3hrs of powee in 24hrs for 31days and you get a bill of 9k to 35k per month what would you expect of the town's residents.

The most annoying thing is that the good for nothing leaders connected to the industrial line 33kv dont and never feel concerned. I think there should be a protest to remove the incompetent leaders too

I am there right now ohhhh

No light yet they bring massive bills . Erhienda. Witches

It should be a nation wide protest....

What about protesting against bursting of pipelines.

Our bill for February was #52,978.82....
Can you beat that?... Just for a single compound, Just my family, no tenant, no business of sort. Less electricity, if there is any agency to be probe by EFCC it's certainly this electricity companies.

What marvel me most is my neighbour, he was disconnected for a month and they still brought him bill. Is he paying for his SINS?...

I stand with them

i thought i was the only one receiving this outrageous bills without a flash of light from PHED

Never underestimate the power of the people! only if most Nigerians can act accordingly especially now that things are really in a bad shape.This gov't in power would've been pushed out for long. Trust me
