If the Reps are actually serious about what they are saying then the govt should pay for it to be free for Nigerians for the stipulated time.
This, and comments like it, are the wisest comments on here, but the number of likes and shares its gotten just goes to show how many wise people have actually read this thread!

codedguy1 please accept this imaginary 1000 likes and shares from buda for you wisdom.

Ok na. Make I sharpen my cutlass dey wait any person wey tell me to pay Nepa bill. Na short sleeve you go take go house.

Did you read the post? A person like you will go ahead and misinform that there is two months electricity so that they can start fight distribution staff whereas when it's time for election, you still vote an irresponsible person as leader.

This is not about compensation! If you have been cheated, stand up and fight for your right instead of begging for it as charity!

There is no reason why a non-government company should give you its product for free.

Same way there is mo reason why a company should cheat people. No one is beghong. Abi you see where dem dey beg? The HOR guys are actually doing the standing up you suggested. Shows how confused you are. Speaking out of both sides of the mouth. SMH

They can tell the discos not to bill and they pay for it in bulk. It's easier than transferring money to every Nigerian or any other means of palliatives.

Can't believe they are still on this... Since when? Just two months free electricity is what they've been on, dragging upandan since... Is that even a priority right now How much them don pay NEPA? Something that a single individual among them can afford to shoulder from enormous loots of fund they've accumulated in their name even for a whole year! sad Talk about Majoring on the minor! undecided

It is a good move. A government that really has empathy for her citizens will not find it difficult to do.

You can insult me all you want.

You are begging when what you ought to be doing is harass your useless rep to buy electricity for you or seek redress for having been cheated. But of course that involves you doing work and you'd just rather beg.

Federal has shares (I think 40%) in the Discos, 100% in the Transmission and almost 50% in the Gencos. So the profits that could have accrued to the Federal Government can be used to mitigate the costs of free electricity for Nigerians.

good response Sir, but electricity supply is generally poor, so they given us that, what about those who use prepaid meters?

But in my area, where I lived in Abuja, there has been improvement in electricity supply in the last 2 months(sometimes we record almost supply for full day).

For those with prepaid, they will work out a plan or template to grant them access to enjoy electricity without paying for same.

No problem.

Free electricity for May and June. Case closed.

But then the guys at PHCN lock station, carry key go house. No be lose lose situation be that? Give light first before you talk about free electricity. 1 million multiplied by zero is still zero. Don't keep your hope up.

What a country! Greediness really has no limit, those bastards at the helm of affairs cannot simply implement giving Nigerians 2 months of free electricity. Over 1 trillion donated because of covid 19 yet it is extremely difficult for them to do “one thing” to benefit the masses.

It is really a curse to be a Nigerian.

Very true.... Don't mind them.
After privatizing the sector, they want the private owners to give electricity free, how
Why don't you pay them for 2 months instead?
We use prepaid meter and have been recharging once it's low, still did yesterday.
Re: Reps Insists On Two-Month Free Electricity For Nigerians by alfredilly: 10:38am On May 01, 2020
Benin Electricity Distribution Company ( BEDC) is peculiarly inefficient and exploitative. Less than a total 15 hours of power supply in the last 10 days. This isn't a national crisis cos I get positive feedback from elsewhere..
