US-based Nigerian Man Uses N667,000 To Pay Electricity Bill For Just One Month

• A Nigerian man who resides in the US has shared the bill he paid just for electricity on a particular calendar month
• According to the man, the amount of money he used to pay for an electricity bill in the US could pay one year's rent in Nigeria
• In the video he posted on TikTok, he said he paid his electricity bill with $435.30 (about N667,000) in a month

A US-based Nigerian man said the amount of money he uses to pay his electricity bill in the country was much.

According to him, the electricity bill alone takes a significant chunk of his income in America, where he lives.

In a video he posted on TikTok, the man, @chyddan said that in a month, he spends much on bills.

In April, he said he paid his electricity bill with $435.30 (about N667,000).

He noted that the amount of money he uses to pay for his electricity bill in America is enough to pay for someone's one year's house rent in Nigeria.

His words:

"So, when I say bills, only this 'NEPA' bill here is $435.30. Like I was telling somebody, my 'NEPA' bill, just my 'NEPA' bill in America, can pay for somebody's rent, one year in Nigeria."
