A Nigerian newspaper and Online version of the Vanguard, a daily publication in Nigeria covering Nigeria news, Niger delta, general national news, politics, business, energy, sports, entertainment, fashion,lifestyle human interest stories, etc

has been hiked, ostensibly for users in what many now know as Band A areas, though in reality the tariff was hiked across all bands. I can support this assertion with readings from the bill sent to me by Ikeja DISCO, or IKEDC. I live in a part of Lagos classified to be under Band E. That is Egan, Igando in the Ikotun-Igando LCDA area. That is part of the larger old Alimosho Local Government.

What this means is that people of that area, like other areas under-served with electricity, run their lives on generators most of the time. The whizz-kids that segregated the electricity market into bands whereby some people get more electricity than others must have read George Orwell’s Animal Farm very well and applied the maxim of “all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others” to the marketing of electric power. But they lost sight of many things because they read Animal Farm literally. There are very few, if any, welder, carpenter, plumber or other artisans that live in the so-called Band A areas.
