- I went from having 24/7 light to not seeing any light for weeks. My Estate decided to mismanage our money so now we owe over 40 million Naira (close to $80,000) to the electricity company. So they cut us off. So I am running my generator daily 1pm-6am. It’s madness.

Iveoma, welcome to Nigeria....This is how we do. lol.
Yes, this is an authentic Naija experience that millions share lol
Too bad these estate developers do shady stuff like these. If your meter is prepaid, you should be able to subscribe and pay directly to the private electric company as you buy and load your token!
We, the home owners at my estate just recently formed an association and discovered a lot of abnormalities. We are in the process of taking over management of the estate from the developers.
Good luck darlyn, you are doing well👏👏👏
Home owners run the estate association, you have to live or have land in the estate to be on the Board. 😂 When our meter runs low, we send money to our estate association account then they give us a recharge card. So I am confused 🤔 how they can owe an electricity company over 40million naira. Like how?
I would love to buy directly from the electric company but that isn’t possible right now. However maybe it will change because this is the most ridiculous situation. Can’t wait till I leave 🙏🏿🙏🏿. But I know so many people are pissed about this, so hopefully it won’t happen again.
@@IveomaMedia pretty surprised that the HOA is the one running into this kind of debt!!! Am here blaming the estate developer.
Am a board member of my HOA and never would allow a thing like this happen
Most of us are abroadians, we run things differently. The mindset of board members helps a lot.
@@RealTalk196 Most of the Board are Nigerians from abroad. LOL! This happened because no one was paying attention to the Board and their activities. But also, you know most Nigerian politicians have schooled abroad too and look at what they are doing.
Generators should be in the outside air. Leave the window open. :)
The Nija Life!!
Lol definitely Naija life for real
You need solar panels sis, you’ve got to upgrade! Generators are soo yesterday.
😂 what? I should install solar panels on the roof of a house I am renting?? Nah
@@IveomaMedia The solar panel company in Nigeria will come and install it for you, it’s portable, soo it moves with you if you decide to move elsewhere
@@IveomaMedia my dear give it a trial you won't bother about electricity again. When you want to leave, take your panels
Beautiful you ❤
I did not know you are still in Lagos, I thought you moved to Abuja, you can move to an estate with 24 hrs electricity
I was living on an estate with 24/7 light, my estate owe over 40 million naira so the private electricity company cut light to the entire estate.
Check out my 2 years 4 months video, I explained why I am not in Abuja at the moment. I was there for 2 months.
@@IveomaMedia sorry about that
Kai! I am going through this now
Story of my life 😩
Girl this is one of the things I hate about Nigeria. I got a self serviced house which they said had a dedicated diesel gen 🙄. 14 days into me living there, the gen gave out.
Come to find out the neighbors also have experienced the gen always giving out. So everyone got their own gen. To to sum it all up I have 3 gens and I finally got a solar powered inverter 🤦🏾♀️.

Wow I see. My next place I will try to talk to tenants about this issue before I rent too
If you have the money, Solar is your best friend.
Of course, the generator will be kept outside while in use. Right?
Yup , people die of carbon monoxide poisoning when generators are kept indoors.
are you using gas or solar?
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾...bcz NEPA been a no-show lately...
Lol my estate owes over 40 million naira to our private electricity company 😂 So they cut the light. We never had NEPA
@@IveomaMedia What?!🤦🏾♀️...so I have to take NEPA 💡off the hook for this one😂...either way I'm glad you have your generator..."a good Girl Scout is always prepared"...tfs..
I know this is a BIG problem in Nigeria.
However, is there anything we could do as a people to change the situation? I’m just inquiring 🤷🏽♀️
Nigerians could push gov to restrict or ban generators, light problems will be solved after that. That’s the only real solution and it has to come from Nigerians pushing against these generator lobbyist/politicians who own generator companies. Maybe it’s coming I do see more underground electricity cables be installed all the time so let’s see.
