In a Facebook post that quickly drew reactions, Ameyaw revealed he had been paying almost GH¢10,000 monthly to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), a burden he described as “drenching him to the brim.” He noted that the excessive billing had been ongoing since July last year, leaving him both frustrated and reflective about his energy usage.
However, the tone quickly shifted to one of joy and appreciation as he shared that ECG had disconnected his power supply. Far from being dismayed, Ameyaw found a silver lining in the situation.
He wrote, “Thanks to ECG disconnecting my supply today, I’ve finally seen the beauty of my solar installations in the garden. Usually, with the house lights on, I don’t get to appreciate it like this. There’s a blessing in most misfortunes,” adding a laughing emoji to punctuate his lightheartedness.
The disconnection, he explained, allowed him to explore alternative energy sources, particularly solar, and to enjoy the unique charm of his home in natural light.
While he didn’t elaborate on the exact reason for ECG’s disconnection, his focus remained on the positive side of the experience.

Landlord places 'Yesu Mogya' by ECG metre
YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a homeowner has attached a spiritual substance, popularly known as Yesu Mogya, to an ECG meter, claiming it will reduce electricity usage and the subsequent costs.
Netizens have reacted with shock and disbelief to the video, expressing amazement at the unusual level of spirituality being applied even in matters where applying science makes more sense.
Gospel musician Diana Asamoah has also called on the FDA to investigate pastors selling spiritual beverages, warning that some of these products have been consumed without safety checks and could risk people’s health.
