How Does One Survive With This New Utility Increment? by louso(m): 6:41am On Jul 01, 2023 |
I tried recharging my prepaid Meter all through yesterday June 30th, all failed; maybe the traffic of panic buying of the old rate being the last day was responsible for the glitch. Woke up very early this morning to recharge and boom it went just at the 1st trial, chai!!! I recharged 20k and I got 267 units in return. I was shocked. Usually 1500 is for the 7.5%(VAT). I quickly did the maths 18500 divided by 267.(something). So my tariff now is around 69 Naira per KWH. Mehn, cold gripped me, before now when u buy 20k, u are good for a month due to epileptic power supply. Ironically we have been having 24hours power supply, only God knows if this will last up to 3 weeks sef. Everything is increasing except for salaries that are on stunted growth. From Fuel, that has impacted directing on food cost and transportation. While this Electric tariff increment will have a larger impact on almost everything. But we all know that the Masses will bear the brunt if it all. Which way o? How do a common Man survive with all these skyrocketing Bills? 41 Likes 3 Shares

Hehehe. The only logical thing to do is to cut cost,cut cost and cut cost. Freezer's and light can't be on unnecessary. Once things are frozen just off the freezer. Look for energy saving bulbs. If you have car now plan your movement,no more using car to go and barb your hair ![]() I was one of those who was against the unplanned removal of subsidy. I support the removal,but is of the view that measures on how to tackle the effect of the removal, should be in motion first. We might have backed different people during the election,but the reality on ground now is that we are now in this together. The ones laughing the policies of the government,the ones supporting and even the neutral one,we are all in this together. My wish is that all the sacrifices Nigerians are making now should never be for nothing. 201 Likes 17 Shares |

What are u using that u are using 20k worth of units per month?That is even the tariff rise. Anyone on prepaid should be grateful because even with the tariff increase,you can easily regulate your energy use. Those on estimated billing are the ones that should be crying. 179 Likes 11 Shares |

louso: Nigerians have already spent one full month with the subsidy and nobody is talking about it anymore, even the TUC & NLC that's supposed to speak have be bought. Everybody still goes to work like nothing happened. No riots, no protests, NOTHING. Nigerians will rant, groan, cry about the tariff increase and go back to their normal Business with the GOD WILL HELP US mentality and that's where it ends. 78 Likes 10 Shares |

Tinubu regime will favour me and my family crew I Hope you all that voted and rigged for this disaster of a party called APC will have higher units than others and bill reduced when you display your APC membership card or wave the broom for them. How people voted for APC that is killing them to rescue them knowing fully well that the same set of thiefs will be reinforced still baffles me When we ask you to elect leaders with the genuine interest of the people at heart, a leader that truly listens to the people, accessible and proactive you all corn addicts rather decided to heed to tribal and religious sentiments. ![]() We haven't gone anywhere yet this is just the beginning. By the time Tinubu is done looting and taxing, many dysfuntional brains will come back to life. 160 Likes 12 Shares |

If you are on prepaid, you are lucky. At least you can manage your energy usage and only pay for what you use. As for how we would survive. Nigerians are very good at adapting to suffer. To the extent that they even question enjoyment. If you are nice to them, they will think you want to use them for rituals. They are that used to suffer and wickedness. The keyword here is SURVIVE. We would SURVIVE. 77 Likes 11 Shares |

Na for bachelors to move back into their parents’ home. By the time you add your salary to the utility bills, you all can live frivolously. I can’t come and kill myself. Being a man is not an easy feat. Sometimes know when to retreat from uphill battles. 37 Likes 6 Shares |
