you're very evil to your employer I pray you loose your job soon,this guy is cheating your company and you're telling him to settle it with the marketer knowing well the money will not go to the company's account.So if they fold or retrench their workers and he happen to be a victim what will you say of the company you have worked for the Government of the day concerning employment

Na God go punish you.

Just when I was about saying good staffs still exist and you're saying this thrash.

Na God go punish you again.

Thieves... And same people want a better country... How much is 5k per month you can't pay? But nope. Nigerians would always want to game the system.

If you multiplied the 8months you used it for free by 5/6k average that should be around 60 to 70k max. Now you are going to be paying twice on penalties with the embarrassment and you have to be begging after paying twice. Don't you lots have self respect?

A lot of Nigerians just don't have commonsense.

I will be straight and sharp, I don’t need any bad every response, I’ve done it already, and I want to handle it maturely. Just need advice from any one who had handled such issues peacefully that all.

Yesterday I was caught for bypassing, I wasn’t at home, so before I got back they’ve cut down my wire, my neighbor won’t let them take away the meter and wire. Immediately they called and told me, first thing I did was recharge online on the meter right away, hoping I would have a chance, but I got home now I saw they’ve opened the meter, and I’m sure our people they would have taken enough pictures of the tampered meter, some of them can even pix mix I’m for evidence.

Well they dropped a letter for me, on the letter my last recharge was written at the back stating about 8months ago, and a phone at the back.

I don’t know what to do first, any I’ve not make any move yet, but I’ve corrected the bypass meter. suggestions how best to handle it.

Hmm
I don't wanna encourage bribery but when they come again and ask them for what they can do for assistance.

Don't fear, nothing wey money no fit solve for 9ja.

You already admitted your mistake.

Go to there office to Negotiate on how to return back to them the dues.

Now after the whole show ends, PLEASE START USING solar generator.

Buy solar panels of at least 300W, inverter of 500W/500Watt which makes it 1 Kilowatt, 40Amp MPPT solar controller and 4 12Volt 18Ah Mercury Deep Cycle SLA Batteries.

Why put yourself in bondage to NEPA over your Money when Free FREEDOM is available in Solar which ones you buy the Panels to start with and Controller and Inverter as well Battery which is optional, you will need no Nepa Power anymore, power your devices with piece of mind once you return back home in the night or when ever you wish?

I am more than ready to assist you or anyone who needs help in sizing the Solar Gen for his or her needs.

You do not need Millions to have a Solar Gen which comprises of Panel(s), Solar controller, Inverter, Super Capacitors (optional) and yes Battery which you cab Make yourself using a well prepared activated Charcoal and Salt and Hypochloride and yes PVC Pipes of two different Sizes. You also nee copper and Alluminium thich wires or plates which you can cheaply get from my Honorable Igbo Brothers who are into the Business.

See, Money is not enough, KNOWLEDGE IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS, FREEDOM AND PEACE OF ANY TYPE IN LIFE.

Call one of the officers and let him/her tell you what to do.
Re: I Was Caught For Bypassing My Meter, What Should Be My Next Action Pls? by seunjungle1(m): 3:14pm On May 25, 2022
You've been eating NEPA from behind since but now they caught you red handed...you are very greedy and not a patriotic Nigerian.
I understand that the way Electricity companies coded their meter selling to consumers are very bad when it comes to consumption to the extent some consumers don't any option than to drop uses of Meters for bills.
But you on the other hand did not try at all, no loading for the past 8months and you think you're cheating NEPA not knowing that you're cheating yourself.
My advise goes this way. Never give it sharp and very fast approach to them...

Correct the bypass meter
Don't use the light for like a month
After a month look for their marketer covering your area....explain your problem to him/her(he/she knows already). He/She will be the one to handle the issue and you must ready to spend for settlement.

Listen well, don't give it any approach now. Let the tension go down first because they are expecting you to come and eat you raw.

You should have a marketer who is their staff kiind of assigned to liase with you, he should be one to have come found you out.
You should contact him first, if that fails the next in line, most likely in the usual Nigerian way, they might want you to settle them. Tampering fee should be around 50-100k, not too sure.

Re: I Was Caught For Bypassing My Meter, What Should Be My Next Action Pls? by Gfrey6(m): 4:41pm On May 25, 2022
I hope my message is not coming late.
The best thing to do like any lawyer will advise you is to deny knowledge of the bypassing.
Even if you are caught in the act, deny it.
Plead not guilty.
Secondly blame them for cutting your light.
Don't ask for any way forward, like how much you will pay.
If they remove the prepaid meter get someone to rebypass it again for you.
This time around, go to their office to let them know your next line of action, court case.
This worked for my numerous clients.
I wish you the best.

I will tell you how my neighbor handled his own when same thing happened to him. He started paying small small tokens into the meter without connecting back the power.he got a point from his neighbor and was jointly paying.He did this about one year and reconnected his power and continued paying his bill. It's is dangerous bypassing these days because days the discos are very serious about revenue.
