Prepaid Meters

It hurts me to write this article, but not as much as prepaid meters hurt my pocket. I hate them!

I remember being at my girl's house and her older brother was berating her for leaving the AC on when she wasnt in the room. I didn't see what the big deal was and told him to calm down. She then told me they have a prepaid meter but I dismissed it as unimportant. Naive little **** I was. Now, I definitely feel her brother's pain. I wasn't paying for electricity back then, because PHCN hadn't brought my meter. So in essence, I had free electricity.

I just got my meter and I want to cry; I might as well run my generator all day. I keep watching the units deplete by the hour and on a good day, when there is constant electricity, I use about 100units.

So if, like me, you have the dreaded prepaid meter, you can sign up on www.quickteller.com, buy units online and the code will be sent via SMS to your phone. This is particularly useful on weekends when banks are closed. You will need a debit card from a local bank and you may also buy units at any First Bank branch.

May God bless our hustle so we can look back on this time in our lives and laugh.

Lekki- Ikoyi Link Bridge

Lekki - Ikoyi Link Bridge opens on the 18th of Dec. Apparently it's N500 each way.

I can't front, that price tag is a bit rich for my blood. The bridge will definitely shave at least an hour off your commute during rush hour. However, I don't know if that is worth N500 off my monthly N19,800 from NYSC. Actually thinking about it, it's more than N500. It's coming and going to work. 5 days a week. That's N20,000 a month. Welp! simple math says I can't afford it. LOL. My wonderful readers, when you use the bridge, please tell me how it is, I shall live vicariously through you. :)

Anyways, this year is coming to an end, what a year it's been. God will bless all our hustles and make us bigger. So we too may afford toll gate money and other things. LOL!

........ah i see!

Umm...What is he smiling at?

MEN... PERSON GATS HAMMA FOR THIS LAGOS

30 minutes until closing time, I decided to disappear from the office and attend another "meeting" still within the confines of Victoria Island.

Anyone working in that area knows, when you have to move, you MOVE!

OKADA ! Sanusi Fafunwa, I told him. N100 he said, out of the N600 I had in my pocket, that seemed somewhat fair. I hopped on and we navigated the madness of rush hour traffic.

Upon entering a major road, suddenly, he passes his passenger helmet to me. Which is a no-no for me... Until his bike is stopped by the regular Thugs in Uniform (I'm not sure what they are called, so for the purpose of this story, we will call them Thugs in Uniforms), presumably to buy a jurisdiction ticket or whatever, he tries to resist, but it is futile, as he is put to a halt.

Not paying attention, I become the topic of discussion, which goes as follows:

Thug in Uniform(T.I.U): Oga why you no wear your helmet?

"The look of confusion on my face I imagine must be priceless."

Me: Oga no vex, I no go do am again I know no.

T.I.U: Bros, that one no dey oh. Na N5,500 you go pay.

Pocket: N600, Okada Fee: N100. Immediate cash: N500.

Time: 5 minutes past my meeting time.

After going back on forth, about beating the price down and not have N5,500. I gave him my entire life savings at the time, lol… (N500) got on the bike and put on my Helmet, proceed to the venue of my "meeting". With only on thought in my head.

Watch out for those new traffic regulation rules. Don't let the Thugs in Uniform extort you.
