“Please NEPA remove my family from Band A” — Anambra man cries out.

Haaa wahala Dey ooo

Lol

Clearly acted, but the feelings they expressed are shared by many of those in Band A.

Many poor Nigerians families have bn eronously included in this band a,b and c making it very difficult for them to use light again.
Question now is why pushing Nigerians out of everything that makes life meaningful?
Constant electricity that is not affordable is of no need and as good as constant darkness.

If you are in band A,
To reduce your bill, and turn the 24 hours into advantage,
1. Put your refrigerator on half duty cycle, it should be off at night. You either use a timer switch (cost about 10k on Jumia) or you switch it off and on manually - labour intensive. Any night you forget is about 2 kwh or credit units or about N500.

2. Invest in grid tied Solar system. This takes advantage of the 20 hours power availability. You do not need to buy batteries, but you need a good Hybrid solar inverter with grid connection. For every 4 used solar s, you will produce 1kwh of electricity daily. The more you have the more you produce. As a rule of thumb, each 300w solar will give you an average of 50w for 5 hours or 250wh or 0.25kwh.

A normal house with lighting TV and refrigerator, without Air conditioner consumes about 6 kwh daily. Putting your refrigerator on day cycle will reduce 1.5 kwh or credit units leaving 4.5. Adding 5 solar s, will reduce it to 3.5 kwh. Adding 10 Solar s will reduce it to 2.5 kW hour. Because you must use lighting and fan at night, you cannot go lower than 2.5 kwh daily without investing in Storage batteries which are the costliest part of solar with 2 or 3 years short life span.

At 2.5 kwh per day your electricity bill for band A will be 2.5 x30 days x N230= N18000 approx. Not bad for 24 hours light.

Shouldn't this thing be made optional if possible

You people are hard to please. You said you want 24hours light like other nations and you were given 20hours in some locations. Now the story has changed. It's no longer give us power but it's too expensive. So, basically you want everything to be on Subsidy or free. Was that how America and other nations developed ? Even the smaller West African countries around us are paying more for their steady electricity. You want to go to heaven without dieing. Funny people.

Band A nonsense is the most dubious and deceptive act of governance.
This government is a shame

(Band) A for Anambra..

Exactly I’m on band A.i use nepa for just 3hrs daily.7-10pm to power my batteries.all through the day I use my solar.So solar gives me 21hrs light then nepa gives me 3hrs.I am fine with not paying more than 30k bill monthly.If u don’t have solar on BandA u will die

Ok

I don't even know the criteria dey use take select those wey dey each band sef

.

hand done touch billionaire. billionaire done collect wotowoto

Dem Wan finish my guy man with light.... I was telling someone that light has improved, dem think say na joke.... Na bad news dey always sweet people.... I'm not a er of dis istration but light has improved

I think what dis istration is doing is to make everybody start working and hustling like they do abroad... If you no pay ur bills abroad, you won't have light or water.... So people take up multiple jobs jst to pay their bills

D situation in d country is something like that now, if u no comut work now ehn, na hunger go finish you, with d level of shege dis istration is showing us...

Be innovative. Find ways to conserve power. Switch off power from the change over when you're not around. There are times when you really don't need power on. One of my friends uses one AC from the living room to cool the entire house (apartment though). Everyone just opens the bedroom door to collect share.

We can survive Tinubu

Terrible and crazy bils abound nation wide

Why is a billionaire crying ?

They mock others yet they are the hungriest and most frustrated

Relocate to band B area funny man. Electricity companies are thieves sha

Ok

Thought dey r billionaires on social media in that state....why r dey crying

If there's no light dey will blame d govt, if dey see d light dey won't be able to afford it😂😂😂
