Woman decries drop in electricity units from 958 to 222 for same ₦50,000 spend, urges Nigerians to get PVCs

A Nigerian woman posted a video on X, formerly Twitter, saying that her ₦50,000 payment bought 958.5 electricity units in May but only 222 units in September, highlighting a steep reduction in the amount of power received for the same amount of money.

In the recording she described the change as “over a 400% increase,” addressed President Tinubu with the question “what is happening,” and called on Nigerians to obtain their Permanent Voter’s Cards so they can vote out the government in the upcoming election.

The complaint quickly circulated online, prompting discussions about the rising cost of electricity, the effect of increased tariffs on households, and broader concerns about the cost of living and financial pressure on Nigerians.

The video was shared by X user @ChuksEricE on 23 September 2026, accompanied by the quoted remarks.
