Light in my area is zilch, as in nada, its quite unfortunate that one can even have ligth to do some basic things

The power supply to my area is Zero.

In Kubwa, Abuja light dey erractic o, times e be like say NEPA forget say them give us light, and they would allow us use it for 2 to 3 staright days, at other times (on their bad days) they ensure we dont have a 20 minute uninterrupted supply. all in all i should say its fair here

in d estate where i stay, we use card- meters so they've got no choice but 2 giv light, so their cards can read

Very poor

Haba Aunty Nike,

How can Power Supply in Texas be Zero??

Still cant figure some of us in NL!

Abi you are refering to the Texas close to Ita Oshin roundabout in abeokuta.

Make you take una geography soofri soofri oo,

Power Supply? hmmmmm

In the morning they give u 30 mins 260-350V supply enough to damage your electronics.

In the afternoon the new shift test the line by doing a traffigator check, off-on, off-on, off-on, off-on, when they are done (normally 30 mins) it goes off again. (this is the time to test ur appiance to be sure they still work)

In the night they turn on the romantic candle voltage supply (quarter current), I think this is just there way of saying goodnite cause u cant use any appliance with it. It lasts for 2 hours tops and since they expect you to go to sleep they arrange for lightsout around 9pm.

I think the latest is the manager chyked a girl on my street, she no gree and since this week even traffigator we no see.



I've decided to go back to my roots. I've reconditioned myself. I've unpluged every electronic device I have, if my forefathers can do without it so can I. If I continue using NEPA I might kill someone soon (the next NEPA official to come around my house).

Nice one TalkTrue.

I guess we live in the same world.

Only that I (unlike my forefathers) have the option of inverter/generator,

[center]Funny enough,
My area isn't that bad
I usually sleep through the night with NEPA
Guess they're just trying harder for us Nigerians

i get light for less than twenty four hours a week.

Up Nep,

They don take am again

Very stable. Light's guaranteed from 4pm - 10am the next day. After that period, it's not too certain they'll leave the switch on. But I really dont mind the timing cos I am at work from 8-4pm.
From 4pm on friday to 9am on monday, it's constant(almost without a blink)

well in my area, we only have lights on saturday afternoon. as it is now, we solely depend on generator and our power connection is always on Gen. that even when PHCN brings the "light" we dont even bother changing the source.how pathetic 4 nigeria yet our president was so confident to say at Ghana's golden jubilee that we were the ones that gave ghana electric supply.can u imagine? and i learnt that Ghana has never had an epileptic power supply. eh ya?

very poor as we do stay without light for many days and if they want to give it can't last more that one hour a day. too bad!!!

I run generator 100hours weekly.

4/24hrs

@anothaviv
lol u surely beef them.

well in kubwa FCT where i habit, it has rily been terrible . it is until recently that PHCN has behaved herself. this new behaviour came on since 14 of this month. though the light is not steady at least we can not kip stuff in the fridge which was once a cupboard.

its just improving in our area it comes the whole day and goes at night, sometimes it comes back through out the night

i dont know what power outage is over here. we froze our wedding cake and ate it on our first anniversary. yep. we hav it that good. in naija that feat would not be possible.

very,very poor, we've nt had light 4 d past 2 wks

poor power supply. heaven help us.

My area has no transformer so i have nothing to say about power supply, it doesn't even exist here

There was absolutely no electricity in my house in Calabar for for more than 2 months after Christmas be cause of a blown out transformer.Most people who could afford it bought generators and trust PHCN(NEPA),they asked people to contribute 500,000 for a new transformer for the street. Me I no answer them.

anothaviv:

POWER SUPPLY?!

That INEC tanker should have been sent to PHCN!!!

How could they miss it, it was on the same street!

hilarious
i live with approx 15 hrs of nepa daily. really sucks!!!

great!!!!

great!!!!

enlighten me, which power supplyr? are you talking of solar, kerosene, wood or wind. sorry i didnt mention nepa or phcn.it only exits on the pages of newspaper and when they bring their bills.we have not hard a second of light in my area for the past one month/

very pathetic experiences,   though, I live in US, i ve got pple back home which makes me very sad hearing this life-stories.    
Sometimes my mum will say there is no light for a month - complete wickedness  Looking forward to d day of solar system for my neighborhood in 9ja.

I'm beginning to think that my area is not a part of Nigeria if all the positive responses about Power supply I've been reading so far are true. I stay in Ojodu berger in Lagos. We only have light for two Hrs during the day out of the 24 hrs in a day and since I go to work, I don't get to see light except at weekends when am at Home. Almost everybody in my Estate have Generator so you can imagine the kind of Noise pollution we expereience there. It's realy terrible I just hope that the new Government will do something about it.
