FOJEM:


Ikeja Electric increased tariffs on small transformers over one month again. Before, 8,000 Naira would give 162 units. But since last month, 8,000 Naira is worth only 119 units.

This is evil

fergieboy:

I mean weather you bought at old rate or new rate

From today your prepaid meter will start reading at the new tarriff

How is that possible? The meters are not online now, so how can such be controlled other than decrease in obtainable unit value.

eagleonearth:
what appliances swallow 20k worth of electricity in 3 weeks??

In my office, we use 10k electricity every 3 to 4 days. We have 6 air-conditioners.

louso:
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?

Which location? Yours is cheap. Prior to this tariff increase, 20k will fetch you 250 units here in PH. I haven't confirm the current units.

I am not concerned by all these increments.

My only focus right now is to continue standing on his manhood mandate.

Hi Boss, I don't understand the complaint here. The increase was only 5 naira. Before now, it was 64 Naira per KWH. Except I am making a mistake. The last time i bought 3000k, I got 46.88 units. And that was last month.

DesChyko:
I was just pondering how this electricity hike will affect me. My last recharge was 4000 for about 114 units. I'm yet to know wha the new tariff will look like.

my last 10k recharge was for 267units, now it's barely 100units.

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.

Ahn ahn! Don't tell me the electricity tariff hike didn't favour you and your family anymore.

So you are now on survival mode and now also an advocate of survival? Kpele!

lol. That prepaid ehn. I'm always surprised when I see people lament about their inability to get one. When their agents practically begged us to install it FOC back then. Households can manage but businesses go suffer am , and they will still push it back to us.

My paddy say no be renewed hope, na renewed shege.

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.

I detest pple like this.
What do you pple stand to gain from playing the blame game? Always wailing over split milk.
Are the the massesINEC? Are the masses APPEAL/SUPREME COURT? Don't you have colleagues ,friends, nuclear & extended families that voted for the party you're crying about? Why didn't you influence their decision? Come here and be forming one mumu IRON MAN

crossfm:
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.

One of the most logical submissions I've ever read on Nairaland. And it's been a long time seeing such comments devoid of emotions or laden with sarcasm.

The truth remain, we are in this together

By shouting Yoruba Ronu o every morning.

EVEN AS NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK, WE CAN'T PASS THROUGH. WE ARE HOOKED BY THE HAYES.

Let me say you indirectly want me to tell you who j voted for so you start the comparison game.

I'm wiser than that, but here is the thing non of family, I repeat non of my family members voted for APC because we are very calculative and ain't fools.

We would always blame the masses because they aided the process, they are the accomplices of the incumbent government. If the didn't vote for APC they won't be able to rig easily.

That you don't understand this simple metrics tells a lot about you.

TINUBU SHOULD PLEASE STOP THE SELLING AND BUYING OF ALL FOREIGN CURRENCIES EXCEPT THROUGH THE BANKS.

smasher1:


In my GRA people with prepaid meter previously use 70k a month on just one house, one household. Estimated bills is one third of that value.

They were paying 70k because they chose to waste energy.

seborrhic:
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.

Estimated shege 😂😂

OLOKOESHIN:

Amen
You are too sensible man!
All we need is that your last prayer. Because PBAT also said the pains we are going through right now is very necessary

Don't quote any stupid PBAT here.
How much of the "necessary" sufferings are he, his family and friends undergoing currently?
Rubbish!

Oloki:



Not funny at all. In our building, six flats of self contain, they gave us 64k last month. Only God knows how much we are getting this month

Yours is good , in my office ( a 4 bedroom apartment ) we got 60k , only us no other apartment as we have our own metre

fergieboy:
Lol even if you like buy electric unit worth 1million naira

From 1st of July been today

Your prepaid meter will start reading with the new tariff

Reason why I didn’t bother to buy

You obviouly don't know how prepaid works. You don't load money in a prepaid metre. What you load is kwh/units.

Prepaid metre doesn't read according to tariff. The tariff is only put at the point of purchase of the tokens.
So anyone that buys token before an increment won't be affected until he/she exhausts the old token.

As Igbo man, no no concern me

This hike will favor me and my family
