A Nigerian lady has cried out over the rising cost of electricity, claiming that the same ₦50,000 she used to buy electricity now gives her significantly fewer units.
In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), she compared the electricity units she received in May with what she got in September, expressing frustration over the sharp difference.
In her word, she lamented:
“Nigerians don’t really know what’s happening in this country. I used to buy ₦50,000 worth of electricity around May and get 958.5 units. Now in this September, the same ₦50,000 is giving me just 222 units.
This is over a 400% increase. President Tinubu, what is happening? Nigerians, please go and get your Permanent Voter’s Cards. We need to vote out this government next year.”
The lady questioned the reason behind the significant reduction in electricity units despite spending the same amount of money.
Her complaint has drawn attention online, with Nigerians reacting to the rising cost of electricity and the impact of increased tariffs on households.
The development has also renewed conversations about the cost of living and the financial pressure facing many Nigerians.
