Olowunl01:I agree with this, first thing is to get every single house connected to a pre-paid meter and usage gets monitored digitally and physically to guide against theft. There are so many homes (especially these face-me-I-face-you apartments) where they skirt supply and pay only a fraction of what they're using. In fact, I know of one where they pay 5K for the compound and there's up to like 8 apartments in the compound. |

What will make electricity affordable and accessible to Nigerians is massive industrialization where the industries will subsidize the cost of electricity. |
Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by Theflint1(m): 4:55pm On Feb 06, 2023 |
This will come naturally once everyone gets moved to pre-paid, those that refuse to have definitely have money to waste and they won't be cheating the system in the process GloriousGbola: |

Theflint1: This is literally what was exposed last week in the UK as energy suppliers are breaking into customer homes and force installing pre-paid meters. British Gas routinely sends debt collectors to break into customers’ homes and force-fit pay-as-you-go meters, even when they are known to have extreme vulnerabilities, a Times investigation can reveal. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/british-gas-prepayment-meter-debt-energy-bills-investigation-wrgnzt6xs This is the end game of this your suggestion. Thankfully since the news came out, the Government has stepped in to request a halt...but this is where we're going, and trust me, you do not want to be going there. |

nihilistjnr: If they can collect N600 billion from 10million registered consumers, am sure with removing the ineffiences they can collect the shortfall from these consumers... Am sorry I am unable to accept any figures from these guys, na dem create crazy bills naa. This is another gimmick where they use the masses to fleece the govt, whilst these poor masses are not even connected to the national grid, or no transformer. Let people who use the electricity pay market rate, lets wait to see if all those Lekki big men stealing electricity would go out to protest. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Olowunl01: For who will 150K per month on electricity be a bargain The average Nigerian does not live in Lekki, Rather they liv in Ilesha, Arochukwu and Potiskum Shey the salary of a secondary school pricipal which is a senior level staff even reach 150K a month For you to afford 150K a month comfortably, your monthly income needs to be around 600k because you will have to pay other bills and utilities, feeding etc 2 Likes |

Olowunl01: You are talking about the top top of the line people. Less than 1% of Nigerians have 2 cars in their household never mind 4 to 5 When you think about these things, Don't think of Lekki, Rather think of Iperu Remo, Ugheilli and Katsina Ala |

Nigeria needs to study how countries like Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria, who are the most electrified countries in Africa, can achieve 24-hour power supply. Even common Gabon down there has more stable power supply than Nigeria, who has the largest economy in Africa. It's more practical for Nigeria to emulate the models of these African countries than the UK model, which is not so relevant to the discussion. It's not in everything that blacks must copy the whites. I don't even buy all this subsidy talk. Get rid of corruption and make the taxation system more efficient and watch Nigeria solve most of its problems. Nigerian politicians, who steal trillions of naira yearly, make the country poor. No country on Earth can prosper and make progress with this level of looting. Then the national assembly members are arguably the highest paid in the world. These are great financial obligations that weigh heavily on the country. Subsidy shouldn't be the major focus of the discussion. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

nihilistjnr:The current energy crisis in the UK is artificial and results from the crisis in Ukraine. You posted an electricity bill of about 1K pounds in Winter when energy use naturally is at its peak, add the Ukraine thing and it's clear why it's risen as much as it has. Also, your energy bill is for a 5-bedroom apartment, won't be wrong if I said you are an above-average electricity user yea? Nigeria does not have as much demand for energy compared to countries that experience winter, that's something you should factor in the assumptions you're making. |

nihilistjnr:I think you having a family and UK being cold is a factor plus the house uses gas to heat water thankfully I turn my heater just 30mons during winters as it gets uncomfortable hot I tried to ensure most Appliances don’t consume electricity….

nihilistjnr:Bro, Nigeria is there already naa... No be today NEPA dey cut wire with their crazy bills. Nigeria is ripe for this switch, plus we no get winter. Na wetin poor man wan use electricity do? Our people are already in darkness, they are already paying to charge their phones at some roadside shop & the ones who can are already spending alot to generate their own electricity - these lots will pay. If we have a similar lifeline tariff like Ghana, most of our poorest will be covered, cos dem no get PS5 and Microwave or AC naa. |

Segedinho: How much do you think an average civil servant in Benin Say a secondary school teacher can afford for electricity? Secondary school teacher in many communities in Nigeria are even considered upper class. We dont have winter but the heat in some months are crazy as well that you either have to use fan or sleep outside |

raumdeuter: Emaprince: The CBN on one hand, the banks on another hand but my problem now is with us the people. One of the very first lessons I learnt as an adult was that, fighting and jagidi jagan( can't translate this) does not solve every issue. Sometimes you just have to be diplomatic and be wise. Now that they have ambushed the poor people working in the bank, the bank has closed. The small money they would have even collected they can't collect. Those with dispense errors, lost ATMs and a plethora of other issues that would have been resolved today have been denied that opportunity. Everybody now don go house or have spent extra transport money to visit another branch. Who is now at the losing end? 1 Like 1 Share |

With these conversation I wonder why people are not moving en masse to solar Waiting for NEPA or electricity to be stable is likely never going to happen since I was a kid NEPA has been like this and showing no signs of changing If I own a house in any Nigerian city, One of my first expense is to install solar and give the middle finger to NEPA |
Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by raumdeuter: 5:29pm On Feb 06, 2023 |
Itsrm: At this point all banks need to close. They dont need to wait for one employee to be lynched before they act. If the CBN cannot provide enough cash, they shouldnt put lives of innocent staffs at risk Banks are usually high security place, how long before hoodlums and non state actors take over and break into the bank vaults Let the CBN that is claiming that they have enough go ahead and distribute it, Maybe Emefiele can bring his family members to the frontlines to distribute money and not put inncent lives at risk 2 Likes 1 Share |

You just have to pay to avoid unnecessary shalaye... People complains cos they are forced to pay for unused services. My point is....your projected tariff can be reshaped with discipline..

raumdeuter: No one on 600k can afford electricity of 150k monthly except he's single. 600k a month is not exactly a lot of money in Nigeria of today. If this was 2018, I'll say yes but not 2023. |

Solar ain't that cheap either, most don't pay for themselves until say like 5 years, not sure how the battery is supposed to last beyond five years too. I checked the quotation for a 3.5KW + 700W setup with 12 solar panels and it came to about 2.8M. raumdeuter: |
Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by Itsrm(m): 5:38pm On Feb 06, 2023 |
raumdeuter: To install solar the right way for you to completely go off grid also costs a lot of money. Another issue I have with solar is that it's just unnecessary attention. I live in a rented apartment. I can't afford to put solar on the roof and give everyone passing on the street the impression there's one big man living there Living a low key life is still one of the best ways to avoid kidnapping in this town. Though that has now reduced thanks to bunkery but you can't throw caution to the wind. 1 Like |

nihilistjnr: How much it generates depend on the power of the batteries and inverter I did for my folks and I think it was over 2M I cant remember the details but they needed some solar panel, batteries, inverter. They have electricity 24-7 but for security reasons don't turn on their surround lights cos its risky for your house to have visible lights when your neighbors don't 1 Like 1 Share |
