How Much Electricity Do Nigerian Households Use Each Month?

I’m curious about average monthly electricity consumption in Nigerian homes. I live in Lagos on Band D. I recharge ₦5,000 for about 179 units, which gives me 10–12 hours of light daily. With my 2.5 kVA solar inverter backup, I now enjoy almost 24-hour power. How many hours of light do you get each day? How much do you spend monthly? Do you use prepaid or estimated billing? Which appliance drains your units fastest? Do you rely on solar, inverter, or generator backup? Mention your state or location so we can compare experiences across Nigeria.
