ELECTRICITY METERS: WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

Electricity has, no doubt, been a blessing to every individual life. And though it seems there are more miles to cover before we attain the status of constant, stable electricity in Nigeria, we can’t ignore the fact that right steps are being taken in the right direction. First off, there is the decentralisation of power distribution and partial handing over of power management and administration onto private companies with the purport of ensuring a more effective, less bureaucratic control over the power sector.

Also, the sale and installation of prepaid meters in individual homes have gone a long way in stamping a seal of accountability on the minds of Nigerians. Not only can individuals gauge and estimate the rate of electricity they consume, but they can also control it.  So that the company only charge them for the exact amount of energy they consume. As great as having the prepaid or postpaid meter may be, it poses certain questions which if not readily and rightly answered can put off any consumer. Here at Vtpass.com, we have provided ready, responsive answers to all such questions as can be seen below.

WHERE TO PAY

phcn,electricity,vtpassHaving to go far away to distant outlets can be quite an energy-sapping task. And a time wasting one too.

Pay.

HOW TO PAY

electricity,vtpassWhen paying for your electricity bill, one thing you need to know is your meter number. But oh, you are thinking, my meter number. Isn’t it the one on the card that comes with the meter? Well, you will be right if you are not talking about the long list containing both alphabets and numbers. Because that is only the serial number, not the meter number. Meter numbers are strictly numbers, no alphabets included.

Again, meter numbers are not just found on cards, they can also be found on the meters. It all depends on where you live and hence, which distribution company you belong to. electricity,vtpassIn fact, they are also called account numbers in some regions.

PHCN ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION COMPANIES IN NIGERIA

Following the privatisation of PHCN (Power Holding Company of Nigeria), several different electricity companies are now responsible for the disbursal of electricity and the handling of electricity payments. What this has done is decentralise the means for the payment electricity bills so that they are now paid based on where individuals live. The distribution companies as they stand presently include the following.

DISTRIBUTION COMPANIES

Ikeja Electric Distribution Company (IKEDC)- Solely for those on the mainland, (Ikeja and environs).

Port-Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHED)- Cross-River, Akwa-Ibom, Bayelsa and River states.

Eko Electricity Distribution PLC– For those on the island (Lagos and Agbara regions).

Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC)-– Federal Capital territory, Kogi State, Niger State, Nassarawa State.

Jos Electricity Distribution PLC– Benue, Bauchi, Gombe, Plateau states, Saminaka in Kaduna state.

Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDC)- Kano, Katsina, Jigawa.

PHCN ELECTRICITY PAYMENT

There are a few more electricity companies, who like the ones here, own and maintain the distribution network and support equipment within the zone. These companies also manage meter installation and servicing, billing, coordinate consumer credit service and collect revenue. It is no gainsaying that despite a reasonable distribution of zones, the reach of these distribution companies does not at all span the length and breadth of the country.

More so, it can be quite a handful trying to understand the workings of these companies, especially if you are just a consumer using power to meet your everyday needs. What can be more of a handful, though, is going through the process of paying for your electricity bill.

EID-EL-KABIR: TEN FACTS YOU NEED TO KNOW

Though the celebration of Eid-el-Kabir has not started in full measure, it is not too early to say, Happy Eid-el-Kabir to every Muslim faithful. And also to Nigeria in its entirety. Despite the several economic and security factors attempting to deplete this year’s Eid-el-Kabir celebration, all hands are on deck to make sure the celebration embodies, in all respect, the solemnity of the feast. Here are ten facts you need to take note of as we plunge into this festive period which is to begin on Friday, the 1st of September, all through to Monday, the 4th of September.

  1. THE  MEANING OF EID-EL-KABIR

The name, Eid-el-Kabir, is an Arabic phrase for “Feast of the Sacrifice”. Another way of calling it is Bakr-Eid (Sacrifice Feast). Eid-el-Kabir can also be called Eid-al-Adha.THE ORIGIN

2. THE ORIGIN

According to Islamic sources, Eid-el-Kabir epitomises the willingness and sacrifice exhibited by Ibrahim. Ibrahim who was asked by Allah to sacrifice Ishmael, the promised son, was very complaint even to the point of almost giving up his son. It was the angel Jibril that stopped him in his tracks and told him that due to his submissiveness, his sacrifice had been accepted already. Woven into this was Ibrahim’s journey from Canaan to the rocky plains of Mecca, Saudi Arabia with his Hagar, Adnan, and Ishmael.

On his return to Canaan, he left behind Hagar and Ishmael who ran out of food and water. Due to Allah’ provision, Hagar and her son were able to drink from a spring of water and even got food by selling from the water.

Ishmael became a prophet delivering the message of submission from God to nomads in the desert. This served as a precedent to the present Hajj.

3. SOLEMN PRAYER

PIC. 9. MUSLIMS PRAYING DURING EID EL-KABIR CELEBRATION AT ISHERI-OSHUN, IJEGUN IN ALIMOSHO LCDA OF LAGOS STATE ON THURSDAY (24/9/15).
6821/24/9/2015/OOA/BJO/NAN

To commence the Eid-El-Kabir, prayers are offered at all the mosques all over the world. This is to seal the solemnity of the feast, as Eid-el-Kabir is considered the holiest of the two Muslim celebrations we have.

4. THE SACRIFICE

EID EL KABIRThis is the highpoint of the Eid-El-Kabir celebration. Even before the appointed time for Eid-El-Kabir, several lorries are seen towing the roads in Nigeria supplying rams and cows to the many markets from where they will be sold out to Muslims. After the prayers at the mosques, these animals are slaughtered in the head to represent Ibrahim’s own willingness to sacrifice his own son.

The representative sacrifice might not necessarily be a cow or ram, it can be a camel or goat, depending on the prevalent culture in a given place. However, the domestic animal used must meet certain requirements to be accepted.

5. COSTUME

eid el kabirFor the slaughtering of the animal, a blue coat clothing must be worn. Also, very festive clothes are worn on the other days. This is the time when the Muslims wear their very best. The women wear new, stylish lace, Ankara and colourful hijabs. Most times, the men are seen putting on guinea or damask clothing, with fanciful caps.

6. SHARING

During the Eid-El-Kabir, a lot of love is spread in style. The animals sacrificed are meant to be divided into three part. One part is for the family who slaughtered it. While the other two are for relatives and friends and the indigent ones respectively. Also, families visit one another and share meals together even after the celebration. Even these meats are taken across borders to be shared with truly indigent people.

7. SECURITY

According to security forces, 33,000 security personnel have been deployed nationwide to ensure peace and security. Also, due to the relative peace that has pervaded the North East in recent times, the former fear that accompanied the region in the past, preventing them from celebrating the Eid-El-Kabir has been somewhat dissipated. Expectedly, those in the North-East anticipate highly this year’s celebration.

8. EID MUBARAK

EID EL KABIRFor the Eid-El-Kabir, Muslims all the world greet themselves in just one way- by saying, Eid Mubarak. This form of greeting is one regulated way of showing the success of the Eid-El-Kabir celebration and shows the happiness of the Muslims in encountering yet another celebration.

9. THE ISLAMIC CALENDAR

It should be noted that the date assigned for the observance of the Eid-El-Kabir differ due to the several calendar dates we have. In the Gregorian Calendar, the celebration starts on the 1st of September which is tomorrow. But for the Islamic Calendar, it happens on the 10th day of the month Dhu al-Hijjah. This is usually eleven days later than the date assigned by the Gregorian calendar.

alakijaHERE ARE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT FOLORUNSO ALAKIJA

  1. She is a great philanthropist

More than you know, Folorunsho Alakija gives back to the society in more ways than one. One of such philanthropic acts is the Rose of Sharon Foundation. An initiative that helps widows and orphans pursue their ambitions and intents with scholarships and grants, interest-free loans, accommodation solutions and other programs. Through the Rose of Sharon Foundation, over a thousand widows and their children have had their lives take a positive turn. The Rose of Sharon foundation is also affiliated with the Rose of Sharon Glorious Ministry International. And this partnership has provided the spiritual backbone these widows need.alakija

Also, her company Famfa Oil is a major contributor to the Agbami medical and engineering scholarship scheme which has helped sponsor the education of many medically and technologically oriented students. There is also the Folorunsho Alakija Scholarship Scheme, designed to help very poor Nigerians get an education.alakija

2. She never went to a University

It almost has become an imperative for any successful person to be an alumnus of a well-known university. Well, this is not the case with Folorunsho Alakija. Despite accumulating certificates in other respects, a university degree was never part of the stock.

alakijaWhen Folorunsho Alakija was seven years, she was sent to the United Kingdom to begin a primary education in Wales. On her return to Nigeria, she went to Muslim High School, Sagamu, Ogun State. After this, she went over the shores again for secretarial studies at Pitman’s Central College. She went from secretarial school to several fashion schools to study fashion design. Yes, she has been in several institutions but none of them has ever been a university.

On the reason for not attending a university, Alakija says that “If I had the opportunity of going to the university, maybe I would have come out with a second class upper or lower but that didn’t happen; that wasn’t to be my destiny. I would have loved to go to the university as we all know that university education is good but some of us who have not gone, it is not the end of the world.”alakija

Well university or no university, she has risen to an enviable peak. Not only that, not having a university degree did not stop her from being the chancellor of Osun State University. This has made her the first female chancellor in Nigeria.

3. Her parents saw first

alakijaIt won’t be wrong to say that Folorunsho Alakija’s success was set right on track with the help of her parents. They saw the potential she embodied. For one thing, being born to Chief L.A Ogbara, a husband to eight wives in Ikorodu, Lagos, meant that she was one of many more children. 52 children, in the case of Chief Ogbara. The largeness of Chief Ogbara’s household did not stop him from sending his children to good schools home and abroad. As it appears, Folorunsho and her sister, Doyin were part of the very few ones that Chief Ogbara gave qualitative education. And as far as can be seen, this has paid off.

Again Folorunsho started off as an executive secretary of Sijuade Enterprise. But she left the corporate circle to follow her fashion designing passion. She took up several studies in the UK. On coming back, she established her own fashion house Supreme Stitches which rose to a very prominent height. What is not known though is that her mother, a prolific fashion expert helped out a lot. Inevitably, this helped in taking Folorunsho’s fashion business to great heights. Evidently, not only did her parents believed in her, they also helped make her dream come true.alakija

4. Folorunsho Alakija is a Jack of all trades and master of all.

As highlighted above, Folorunsho Alakija started out as a secretary. Also, she worked at First National Bank of Chicago (FinBank), now owned by FCMB, before moving on to the fashion world. She was awarded the best fashion house in 1986. Due to her impact in Nigerian fashion, she is the National President and trustee of the Fashion Designers Association of Nigeria (FADAN).

alakijaFolorunsho, however, got her big break when she, alongside her friend, bought an undesired oil bloc. Texaco, seeing the potential in the oil bloc, partnered with her company giving her the success story she had been waiting for. Now, she is also involved in real estate and property development.

The business tycoon’s high point is in being able to multitask successfully. Despite having several wings of business, she is able to appropriately manage every one of them. Only through efficient delegation can this be possible.alakija

In 1976, she got married to Modupe Alakija and the marriage has produced four sons, all of whom are very successful. She is evidently still happily married and basking in the happiness of her own children. In her own words, she says “Only God could have given me a husband for almost forty years in the marriage that is still growing strong. His name forever be praised.”

Just this year, Folorunsho’s youngest son Folarin got married for a second time, after he lost his first wife to cancer.His Iranian wife, whom he married in an overwhelmingly grand style, is a model and marketing consultant. Folarin himself is an entrepreneur, an investor and a cinematographer.alakija
