"Until them carry 150k bring for your doorstep, your eye go clear. It's because you have heavy power gadgets that's why, for people who don't have those, they benefit more. There are some people in our compound here who have paid 1k and have been using it for over 3 months now, these are same people that will pay 5k+ when bill comes."

@Gibson911 said:

"If you're having light 8 times in a month you'll know the value of prepaid meter. sometimes 3 times a month and just 8 hours or 12 hours. NEPA will still come to collect full money if you argue with them just know say una fit no see light again for 3 months."
