Oga check your transformer. i came to ogoja in cross river state abt 2months ago, and have been here all dis while, i can tell you that the light situation here is far far better than what we experienced in the past. U knw the distance from ogoja to the state capital(calabar) is like ogoja to anambra state(i.e journey accross 2 states), yet we've got good supply of electricity, you in the state capital should be doing better.

The company supplying light to my area might be different from yours.

Btw make I check my transformer? How

I had power for 22hrs yesterday and scared shiitless. Pardon my pessimism, but when things get this good in Nigeria, a bubble burst is imminent.

Bolt3: Since power was sold out the light situation has steadily become worse in my house. I want to know if anyone has a similar experience. I also want to know the reason for this, could it be because of pipeline vandalism or the increase power consumption due to investments in the manufacturing sector or any other reason. Please don't just view, contribute.

I must surely say that it has really improved.
Kudos for privatization of our power section.
GEJ for life please! !!

GentleMimi: NOOOOO!!! The only thing i see on the rise is the bill...outrageous,i must say. angry

The OP asked a simple question,which deserves a simple answer. What has PDP or the recent governorship election got to do with this discuss? Light don improve in ya area abi e still dey as hin dey before,abi e don kpai kpatakpata?

And who is in charge of providing the power we are talking about here? PDP (Through the FG) or GentleMimi or Sweetlemon?

All these wannabe GEJites sef. It's like they wear some kind of glasses that prevents them from seeing beyond their noses.

OP,

First of all, you need to tell us where your area is. Thats the only way to compare any challenges you have.

Secondly, Nigerians need to understand that this is a new era. You dont have to sit down and keep sulking about the power situation. Walk up to your service provider to discuss the challenges you have in your area, rather than assume that it is a general issue. it could well be limited to your sub-station.

Two years ago, the light situation in my area was very bad. I naturally assumed it was a general thing till i went to the office of the Electricity company to ask what the issue was. They now informed me that they were carrying out some equipment overhaul and it would take a few months to complete the project.

Now, the light situation in my area is fairly stable and way better than two years ago.

Residents in Lagos will have more issues to deal with because the defunct NEPA did a horrible job with substations and power lines. Most of the high density areas will experience more blackouts because they will need to overhaul some sub-stations and transmission lines completely. No thanks to illegal connections and obsolete equipment.

Since i moved to Igando new town in december last year, If i sum up all the hours of light, its not up to 1000hrs or in months its not up to 2mnths. Through out July, we didnt use NEPA light up to 4days. Then this August is just 2days. Im waiting for them to come and disconnect our light.

Vote GEJ for 2O15 my ass, after all the subsidy money, no account for anything, don't be deceived my people, the light you are seeing now its because of the raining season, it has been like that ever since I was born. Nobody should come here and tell me to vote for vampire blood sucking president. Evil people everywhere and selfishness in the name of tribes.
Re: Has The Power Situation Improved Since It Was Sold? by HuJJC(m): 2:58pm On Aug 11, 2014
My naija ppl, Make una take am easy and give it time. The privatized power sector will improve gradually, they need to fix a lot of dilapidated,archaic,primitive,outdated NEPA/PHCN equipment over the miserable years in the hands of Govt. So don't expect magic or work ASAP. But expect to pay more to use light 24hrs as it is obtainable in the western world, when it is enjoyment time. It's going to be real business. Electricity is never cheap. Soon It's going to be free Meter for all to avoid estimated bills.. GE America announced their interest to invest billions into the power sector. I bet you Nigeria will be the best country with the best electricity service in the world. Telecom is a good example of what privatization can do in the long run. It just works wonders.

Thanks GEJ!! GEJ is the best thing that happened to Naija.

GEJ YOUR NAME SHALL NEVER BE ERASED FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE!! GEJ UNTIL NAIJA GETS BETTER!! WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT.
