If it's shower hour/ dinner time between 6:30pm and 8pm, all units are switched off because no one stays in their rooms. It's turned on when about to sleep and room will still be chilling then at 2am it all goes off. <br />The sumo pumps water for exactly 50mins for 3 tanks, there's an alarm for it now so no spillage.<br />Then no cooking of beans, moimoi or ukwa and the likes on electric cooker. Charcoal stove ti take over. The breeze does the job by the window.<br /><br />Many cuts jare because our bill is heavy and the light is under special arrangement. <br />All residents cooperate wella. So we're good.Xhlrted P™ (Charcuterie ‰)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01684539584796655374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352385313518803988.post-89477934725516107212021-03-19T23:37:51.462+01:002021-03-19T23:37:51.462+01:00Anony cussing Twins Squared.

The meagre salaries and poor standard of living are sooo bad.<br /><br />I live in a 3bedroom and bought 45k last month, walai i was livid but what can u do? The heat in abuja in January and February was unbearable so one had to be rationing the number of ACs on and the number of hours, it's crazy the tarrif rate but sadly one can't do without light or fuel like dstv because my dstv now doesn't get subscription unless the kids are holiday.

I used to feel so angry and couldn't wait to get the prepaid meter. My hubby warned that we would pay more but I ignored him. We got a prepaid meter then got upgraded to premium in our estate so we pay #65 per unit, now I pay 65k monthly despite the fact that I change to solar from 7am to 7pm daily. It's so annoying and frustrating because if we don't change over, we spend about 135k...no one can use AC again sef. In fact, I had to disconnect my children 's AC from that electrical box (whatever it's called)<br />I'm just tired of the money spent monthly. A friend of mine did stuff(illegal ) and use 15k monthly but I can never do such because I believe it is stealing. Anyway, my daughters are beginning to leave the house one by one, hopefully I should get some respite.
