Frustration boils over in Douala as the Eneo prepaid meter recharge system remains crippled for a third day, leaving households reliant on the service scrambling for solutions and facing a darkened future. Since Monday, January 29th, topping up Eneo prepaid meters has been an exercise in futility, met only with error messages and the silence of unresponsive customer service lines.

This blackout in communication, mirroring the one engulfing Douala’s homes, has sparked outrage. “My fridge is full, my kids are restless, and Eneo has no answers!” exclaims Agnes Ngoh, a Bonamoussadi resident. “Three days in the dark—that’s just unacceptable!”

The consequences extend far beyond inconvenience. Homes face the grim reality of spoiled food, stalled work-from-home setups, and entertainment blackouts just as the AfCON reaches its fever pitch. Small businesses are on the brink, their livelihoods threatened by the lack of power. “This is killing my business!” cries Marcel Ngoufack, a Deido phone repair shop owner. “Without electricity, I’m paralysed, and every minute costs me money.”

Transparency, or the lack thereof, fuels the burning resentment. Residents feel abandoned, left groping in the dark with no official timeline for when the light will return. Social media channels have become a megaphone for their anger, while local media amplifies the chorus of outrage.

Eneo finally broke the silence late yesterday, offering a flicker of hope through a public notice. “Our technicians are working tirelessly to restore the system,” it claimed, urging “some patience.” Their follow-up announcement this morning, stating “prepaid services have been progressively available since morning,” brought cautious optimism, but questions linger.

The full picture of the outage’s impact remains to be painted, but one thing is clear: Douala has been plunged into frustration and hardship. While Eneo promises a return to normalcy, many residents wait with bated breath, hoping the light at the end of the tunnel isn’t another error message.
