Hey good news people.

NEPA has just said that as from next month we shall start having constant power supply. That is good news right?  I hope!!!

@pat: But they did say that 2 or 3 years ago; didn't they. Yet, look where we are today. I refuse to listen to their empty propaganda. When it happens I will accept it.

I hate running generating sets The stress is something I cannot live with.

@AYA this is deeone saying hallo!!!!!

Our dearest 'baba Iyabo' has already said that there can be no constant electricity without new power generation plants.  Demand outstrips supply and that's just that!  However, I wish the rotation system could follow a regular timetable.  Let it be possible for a businessman to know that "ok, between 8am and 2pm every day, there would be electricity".  You know what I mean?  Inability to plan results in inability to succeed.

It is a big shame to this country that the level of the Kainji Dam determines how much electricity is being generated. I wonder what will happen in time of acute dry season. There are so many other ways to generate electricty, and I still wonder why the government has not deemed it fit to explore those ways.

Maybe when u vote me in as the minister of power (minus steel), u fellow Nigerian will breath a sign of relieve from NEPA.

Well, for years un-end, power supply in my area (Ring-Road in Ibadan) has been most commendable. It would appear that this is still the case because I spent most of my time there while on vacation last year. It got to a point some years ago where landlord association had to agree that Nepa should 'cut off' power supply for about 20 or 30 minutes a day as neighbouring areas were beginning to threaten serious bodily harm!!! On a very serious note, the longest lights out in my area is usually 30 minutes and not everyday too. I spent some time at my cousin's at Eleyele....blah... and oh boy! not only was the supply epileptic but when they deemed fit to 'bring light' well.... let's just say it was better to light your candles and pretend it's a romantic dinner. The rest of the time I was in Adeniyi Jones with my sister’s family and ..erm… power supply there would be a strange occurrence at best! How one sleeps with the blares and bleats of generating sets eludes me. It's a shame really. To think Ghana, Cameroon and supposedly less advanced neighbouring countries manage this insurmountable task!!! Giants of Africa indeed! I hope we all know it's nothing but the fruits of sabotage as we regrettably have in every other sphere of government. Bola Ige said as much before he was unceremoniously 'taken care of'. Indeed, in God we trust, otherwise, there really seems to be no hope. For those who know how to pray, bended knees are the only way forward for Nigeria.

Tommorrow I'm getting a UPS that can last for 6 hours on full charge.  I'm going to be quite immune to NEPA trouble.

POWER POWER Everywhere, but there is none to use(adapted from the rhymes of the Old Axe Prince)

Until we privatize NEPA, nothing for US.....go get ready your money to buy chairs(oops!! I mean shares)

My Area, Garki II is under attack from NEPA and its top officers, But we'll survive it, In-sha-Allah

No wonder!

things are changing o! since Id-El-Malud power has been like as if the celebration is going to last forever. Not like we have it all 24 hrs but it has just improved. I get back home from work and meet power, it goes off and after a few hours its back. At least  I get to save my phone's flashlight.
