Up NEPA!!

NEPA is a household name when it comes to power supply in Nigeria and it means National Electrical Power Authority. Before NEPA was commercialized or Privatized, it used to be the sole producer and distributor of electricity across Nigeria and some.other sources said that NEPA used to also distribute power to other regional nations in West Africa.
Today, NEPA is gone and what we have is DISCOS (Distribution Companies). These companies are liable to distributing power in their region of influence. Nigeria power supply has not been in her best in recent times. In my place of residence as I wrote this piece, the last time we had power supply is about a month now.

SOLVING NEPA PROBLEM IN NIGERIA

The first thing I would do to repair the Nigerian Electric saga is to employ the services of electrical engineers, professionals and 774 local leaders that would be giving me feedbacks as the transition will begin.

Then, all the department will get to work. We shall build at least five dams from from where electricity will be generated. Then distribution will begin in top gear.
I will ensure that the importation of generators is banned and even solar light accessories. Everyone must connect to the national grid and also pay their rates monthly. This will help drive economy and also generate revenue for the country.

Through this, a lot of skilled graduates will be employed and the labour market will reduce in term of unemployment rate.

To further strengthen the power sector, regular checks will be conducted and foster upgrade of the power generation to help you nature that there is no collapse of.powrr supply.
There will also be television or radio broadcast to inform citizens whenever there is a fault to be repaired and the time frame when light will be restored.

Customers who refuses to pay their rates will be disconnected and double the amount must be paid before they are reconnected.

With this, the power sector of our dear nation Nigeria will come alive again.
Come and speak your mind ooo
@empressjay @abdul-qudus @afrikens @beauty197 @chefqueen @cious @daverick @nkemakonam89 @princessbusayo @dera123weed @goldenproject

Like wow! This is a lot and I must really commend you. I wish the people in charge could actually have vision and solutions like this or probably they have but holding back cos of what they will eat and get into their pockets.

But me I won't support this your 2nd to the last paragraph o 😂. So if Nigeria spirit of gbese enter me now and I no pay, u go double my money after disconnection
NEVER in caplock o 😂

In between, this is 1 SciFi Multiverse post you made here o bro... Na to add 10 tag remain if you use PeakD or 9 if you use Ecency and InLeo 😉😜

One of the problems faced by this sector is the high rate debts which has almost crumbled some of the DISCOS. Simply don't allow that Nigerian evil spirit of IGBESE enter you for any reason.
We have to be intentional.of some of these things would work.

Shey you people will not come and acknowledge your New Power Holding Manager 😀
@empressjay @abdul-qudus @afrikens @beauty197 @chefqueen @cious @daverick @nkemakonam89 @princessbusayo @dera123weed @goldenproject
I'm afraid that your stable light is going soon 😆

I want to see the stable light fess fess😅

😂 your faith is not strong at all

Some people faith get k-leg 🤣🤣

😂 Ikr.... Not closer to mustard seed

This one don pass faith oo

That's won't be a problem. When this initiative is enacted, and I am.mamde your manager, all you will see is 7Up, the difference will be clear.

I believe you 💯

Who be dat?
Make the manager come acknowledge me 😄

The manager is here. Wetin you want, I am ready to answer to the call.
A new Nigeria is POssible.

Yes oo based on believe and new man

Things fit work out if we put our mindset straight.

Omoo this one drop hot hot oo

Wetin man for do nah. We don see promax of everything in this Obodo Nigeria.

No time to waste na abi.

Wahalaaad 😂 The acknowledger requests to be acknowledged

Na the new standard be dis. Me sef no small 😄

Ahaha... I was only just seeing a brighter future for the Nigerian power sector

Just gimme the job first, every other thing go be story.

No problem... Lets finish with the internal board meeting

I trust you.... Make dem no go scatter everything for board meeting ooo.

This is massive! I wish you'd be in charge of our country's electricity already. It will sure take a lifetime for this to be implement if the leadership continues to be this corrupted.

The leadership is actually the problem, if we have intentional leaders, I think this will suffice.

I wish that this suffering ends soon.

We keep hoping o.

These are indeed great methods to tackle the issue of lack of electricity in Nigeria, because it seems like everyone is on their own and nothing is working

Seriously, nothing is working because those who are meant to make the power sector work have other ways of getting their own power supply.
The entire system needs an overhaul.

Hello everyone
If you go to my profile, you’ll notice I haven’t been active for a while now and the reason is because nepa has refuse to give my parent light for a long time.

I decided to visit home and have a good time with them but when I got there
There was no light for more than 5 days

The sad part is that I promise to spend the months with them but after two weeks, I started thinking of changing my mind. The only time we have light is in the night after 4days of no light. It’s so sad, now most of my gadget are always down and I’m forced to get power bank

I don’t know if I should leave or just manage with them. I see how bad they suffer from this light and I wish I have enough money to get them solar power.

What is the condition of nepa at your side @kingsleyy @wongi @wealthgrammy @desire-pen @favourolayinka @empressjay @cious

Bro I can’t explain my nepa condition in English.
Phcn dey show us shege for this side… all thanks to inverter and Mother Nature with the sunshine 🌞

🤣🤣
Your own better
Mine ehnnn
I Dey beg for light

Omo I can relate🥺🥹
I want to go back to school,I'm tired of this holiday without light🥱
Thank God for Solar

You for join go do nepa work ma

Make I no catch you sha

You want commot subsidy for my head i no go give u my house address

I wan give you money jare
Oya talk

E yaaa that the oldest lie in the book thank Gods say tribal mark no dey my cheek before you go think say na ibadan i be

If I start talking, @kingsley would attack me😂

But long and short of the story is that the light in my area is pretty constant.

Na wa oo
We no Dey get light for here
@kingsleyy come and see

My dear, you just have to endure and spend time with your parents for a while.
This is the same I face whenever I travel back home, the last time I saw NEPA light at home was two years ago and that's so bad 😞

Damn
That’s so bad and sad at same time
I want to go backkkkk 😭😭

Don't worry you will, just a little time with daddy and mummy will really matter to them

I can totally relate to how bad it is there for your parents, solar is quite expensive if not, it's definitely the way to go for them.

The condition of NEPA at my side is not as bad but I wish it would be better. Fuel don cost, power banks nor strong again, solar money never complete. 🥲

🤣🤣🤣
Na everything Wey Dey do you Dey do me too
Exactly
God will bless me and I’ll do solar for them too

Amen o! It shall be well.

Them wan turn Una to vampires 😂? Imagine giving light only at night. Nawa o

 4 days ago (edited) 

As in ehnn
They are like
The sun light is good for you in the day
When it’s midnight we would give you light to see again

Same thing we are experiencing here with no reasonable explanation, not that rain fell with heavy wind. So sad...

Happy Friday my country people 😊

How do I cope when Nepa does their village thing?

In my area, we used to enjoy 18 to 20 hours of light before, but these days chai our eyes are seeing shage. I'm planning on getting a power bank and probably solar to help me cope.

How will I improve the power sector if I get the chance and power

Corruption! Corruption!! And corruption!!! I will try to kill corruption in the power sector and that is if corruption no fight me back and win sha.

Make the key players in the sector sit up and bring in their A game, anyone who can not deliver will be replaced within a twinkle of an eye.

@hauwee come o, what do you have to tell us regarding Nepa?

Corruption go fight back no reason ham na nigeria you dey ooo getting solar is a good thing sha

Definitely, but I believe if our leaders are ready, they can fight corruption to the barest minimum, but they won't because they are benefiting from it.

Before nko you said it all you fight you did you did not fight you belong

Yes, that is our biggest problem

It's well, they are not ready to work.

Abeg buy two solar oo

One for u and one for nkem 😌😌

🤣🤣NKEM way they get steady light ba?

Which nkem🤔🤔🥲🥲🥲🥲

NKEM one, the mama of Lagos 💃

Lolz 🤣

Solar is the way o, na money we just need.

Omo! Corruption dey fight back o, if you nor hold strong, e go shock you. 😅

Hahaha in Bihari voice, corruption is fighting back🤣

Very seriously. 😂

😂🤣

Looks like the issue of light was good before and bad now is a general thing o

This is serious, I hope they get to improve for on their service.

Sometimes ago, my community had light for two weeks uninterrupted. Though we later suffered for it but we enjoyed it while it lasted

During the period we were fasting from the excess light we had used I did my findings and I was told that a church in my area paid for the light because they were having an annual program.

Then I got thinking if we could use two weeks light and the nepa office didn't get burnt, it's not going to cost them anything to give us steady light.

What am I even saying? My people will say if someone promise you a dress,the first thing to do is to check what the person is wearing (Eni maa da aso fun ni ti orun re laawo) She nepa office wey dey use generator.

To answer today's prompt, how I cope when nepa takes. Light is that I have rechargeable and solar touch. To charge my phone, I rent mopo rechargeable power bank. When all power is down then I will power my generator.
@beckyroyal @rukkie @ozd come and tell us how you cope without nepa

This NEPA issue is like a cancer in Nigeria oo.

Real one

I'm trying to imagine how much the church must have paid to have a steady light for 2 weeks. NEPA people just want to torment us, because it's actually possible to give every area lasting power daily.

Mehn! This is a great question o but at first I thought I saw how do I react first when NEPA takes light 😂 that one na terrifying questions weh NEPA people or family no go wan see the answer 😂😂

So how I cope when NEPA takes light hmmm. I can't even say precisely cos at first, I feel weak as soon as the light goes off like it's the light that was giving me energy in the first place and truth be told, there's an energy that comes with seeing the light on and the first reaction is to be hissing like snake if I was actually about to even plug-in my phone to charge when the turned it off.

@nsigo1 @hamokstitches oya come and give us your answer

@goldenproject @chefqueen @mathewdaddywah @empressjay @quduus1 when did you guys have light last? I know Matthew and Dhavey s Street transformers have blown off taytay

Eggzactly my sister. No time

Loll.

For this few days , Nepa have been doing us good oo.

So let's njoy while it last

Wawu! You all are enjoying light o ... No wahala
My own shine too go shine soon and we shall shine the shine together

Nor be only you o, I dey weak once them take light. Light na energy na but NEPA people don't get it. 😭

Transformer wey dey blow every year na countless. I've heard of too many. 😂

Thank God no be only me... The energy go just go down like thick egusi soup weh u comot for fire

Na daddywah be the testifier of that transformer issue

There is energy when there is light oo, no lie about that. Like, we use it do many things, alot of things got to be on hold when there's no light

We have been enjoying an uninterrupted electricity supply since this year in my area.

It’s the same for me. It’s even reached a point where living without light seems weird.

Wow ooo that's good 👍.

Chaied see enjoyment

Is it the same where you stay?

Odogwuress. I hail thee.
Una dey enjoy o, I swear . The only place I know I enjoyed light was Wen I was with a friend and that one he had solar , so Wen there is no light the solar is automatically on

Really 😆,we are really enjoying oooooo when it comes to electricity.

Share this grace with suffering Nigerians. 🥲

Hmmm 🥺,I am a Nigerian.

Who no fear the only creature wey fit disobey God with their full chest, God said "let there be light" but NEPA says "No"😂😂 Ahahah, this is so relatable! "Nepa dey show us shege" 🤣, I'm dying over here! Guess I'm not alone in feeling frustrated with the power situation in Nigeria. That generator fuel tho, it's a lifesaver for some... and solar isn't cheap either. More than 50% of Nigerians own a power bank for charging of phones. Maybe one day, NEPA will learn to "let there be light "💡💡💡

@temmylade @wewarriors-28 @browny7
Wetin una

That one day didn't come since years ago, you think it will come in years to come? 😂 Sorry o, better go and get more power banks or solar system.

Haha... Like the saying "Naija go better". We just gat keep hopes alive but low key low key, I no say we just dey deceive ourselves with those words. I get power bank ooo my sister but you see that solar, e dey my mind gidi gba

If there is one person that receives curses the same way people pray for blessing, they are NEPA ,even when they have changed name several times,they are still called by NEPA in Nigeria. Nepa don show me shege ooo I remember those times ,those who do business of charging for people really making it then ,#100 for 100%,if your battery run down fast ,you have another problem 🤣😂😂 and even then they spoilt a lot of batteries and phone bcos they use small generator which affect phone alots but now I'm now in an area where there is at least 20hours supply of electricity in day ,this light has made me not be able to make some decisions bcos I don't want to leave the light here, I'm enjoying it abeg 💃💃💃. @afriken @empressjay @goldenproject @quduus1
This is my own

Lol see as light is influencing your decision, chef Queen leave that place. Go and pray for light in where you should be. 😂

Haa, pray Kee? Nigeria problem no pass prayer like this 😂🤣🤣, just kidding lol🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️. Planning when I get married, I go confuse my husband make we live here 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Ohh... Chim🥹
I don't want to remember all of the things I have to go through at home and here in school because of NEPA.

I remember an experience I had here last two semester ago because NEPA decided to disobey the command God gave 😅 "let there be light"
I had exams through out that week in school, and there was no lights there was black out all through the nights, we literally had to leave the hostel to go under the under a street light in the school premises to read, mosquitoes fed on us all those nights and the cold, we felt it in our bones.. and all of this was because I had a rechargeable lamb which I couldn't still charge because of the lights out and my phone was off too. This experience was so hilarious 😆 I can only laugh about it when I remember this.

Then talking about NEPA at home, I can't even remember when last we saw NEPA light in the house, we've been coping anyway, just that it has brought extra expenses on my parents coupled with the fact that PMS is expensive 😔

Maybe, just maybe if it was in my power to fix this whole NEPA issue in our country, I'd make sure the distribution is stable, because I think there's where the problem is coming from.

Should I say I'm used to the system 😞

Ahhh that school experience with NEPA must have been very terrible, if person nor pass that kind exam, na double issue o.

This light issue is extra bad in some areas and it's like your area is one of them, sorried ehn. Do and japa to abroad. 🫣

Like is so bad, speaking of the exam no one cares if there's light or not , you have to pass ni..

My area... Make I no talk about that one shaa, I think the last time I saw NEPA light in my house was during the past election 😅😅 and after then it vanished.

Japa keh... Just maybe oo😅

Lol na so o.

Omo! That's such a long time. Ona try o, I nor go even fit complain for my own again. 😅

It's a whole lot, we dey still expect am 2027 again 😅😅

No issues, it's just two years. 🤣

Chai...
I'm used to it shaa, in as much as my papa go buy fuel no wahala 😅😅

we're Nigerians we adapt to anything.... we mauve regardless

I'm used to the system you know 😀

we all are...... we are Nigerians we adapt and move on ...

Exactly 💯

😆 🤣 😂 😹
I can relate to this

It's a lot 😀

Likee, it's especially worse and difficult during exam period. It will get to a point you will start thinking it's no longer ordinary, because why?? 😂😂

Like... E be like say NEPA dey always be the weapon fashioned against exams because it's always like that, but we mueve regardless

Exactly what I am saying so. It will not be appearing ordinary anymore 😂

It's like we have to conduct a special deliverance service for them this semester 😅😅

That period e be like say na party for mosquitoes o.. chaii what a terrible experience

My dear.. I been seen shege promax

@mrenglish here is my mind oo😀

Lemme chook mouth on this matter.

This light thing ehnn, is something else. By the grace and mercies of God, I am not there again. Glory to God. 😁

The experience without light is never a pleasant one, as some time back I was heavily in those shoes. We didn't see light for months, if not year even. Then the rationing that we don't even see. So, the matter of how the reaction is when light is taken isn't there then.

Yesterday the light was taken and it felt somehow. But we knew it won't be for a long time because the light is good here. Somehow, it still didn't feel comfortable. The joy and liveliness the light brings was lost but there was less concern about having it back.

I feel the issue with electricity is one of nonchalance, wickedness or something else. This is an issue that has lived longer than some of us. And till today its still an issue for a country supplying neighbouring countries with consistent 24 hours light. Something is wrong.

I think the system needs to be changed utterly. Maybe folded and rebuilt. It was changed from public to private and still. So maybe a total rebuild.

Our light is back today sha...

See levels nau! You start to write your comment, them take light. You write finish, them bring the light back.

Make I tap from this grace because I nor understand the situation for my area, we just dey manage.

Na God dey run am oo. Na wetin I fit talk. Lol.

No worry, e go reach your side. Make I talk say, it's well sha.

Me reading all the comments with bulb shinning on my head and correct fan, you get?
Sorry my fans...hehe

Okay guys, so whatever the people in charge of our light did, I love it. For the past 3 months we've been having constant light in my area. I'm talking about 20 hours a day if they want to be stingy. Sometimes it's on for like 2-3 days non-stop,no jokes. I mean if they're trying to compensate me for all the trauma I passed through since I was born and been suffering blackouts, I must say they're doing it just fine. They need a raise.

By this time last year, this was me constantly staying over at people's houses just to complete my assignments and project and it wasn't even enough, but look at me now!
Stay patient guys

Powerbanks was my go-to then. And charging booths too. Guys if I tell you how much I spent on charging phones and powerbanks last year, I would've probably have some papers signed to my name if I saved all that money. Last month I lost my powerbank inside keke, but guess who's unbothered and relaxing?

Yes! Me!

Because I leave my house and come back to light. For a month now, we haven't bought cooking gas. If it was previously, we might have refilled 2 twice at least. We'll talk about the bills later, we haven't gotten a prepaid meter yet. But I'm still happy.

Tears dropping

It's tears of joy.

@merit.ahama
You people don't have light abi?

@chefqueen @goldenproject
@afrikens said your transformer have blow tire.

Nepa Don carry Afriken Transformer and also omo na house to house i dey go charge i don become friend with all the people for streets wey get gen or solar

This was my experience last year. Me that don't like going to people's houses.

It dangerous for girls sha anything can happen unlike guys my fellow man no go try nonsense with me na

Not just anybody's house o

My uncle is full on solar down to even his borehole so I go there, or my girl's house sef since it's closer. But I prefer my uncle's place because the light is sure

Ok that one better na you get option of solar us wey we no get omo e dey pain if phone switch off no light

Actually! Your answer brought our light cos they on it as I was reading your comment

I'm an angel of light mai dear, give me the flowers

You deserve it 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

I wish I can transfer that your light here o seriously but just like you said, you suffered for it in the past so let's hope our own joy that cometh in the morning is nearby too

Thank youuuu
I feel like the light situation is getting much better over time so you people should hold or on just for a little while longer

Patience dey turn person to patient at times o so make e no too tarry

See how the situation is bringing out your hidden talent.

Lines de cryyyy

See this one lying on my head under this hot sun.

Constant light....wahooo they have turn your area to mini London. You see that in this country, we can be having stable light but those people are just deciding to be wicked.

How much do you guys pay every month

That's a rumour I heard o.
😂
So your transformer is still intact

Very instant

Premium enjoyment, no doubt.
You people should do and get prepaid o, bills go choke. 😂

We have light but it's nothing even close to 20 hours a day. My power banks are still my very good paddies. 🥲

Enjoy when then start, come back to gist us oo

Iys good to hear you now have stable light ,I remembered you lamenting about going to pay for charging last year. Hehe , congratulations 🎉🎉 welcome to the board of enjoying light 💃💃

First I will shout neeeeeepaaaa and dem come say which can stupid thing be this naa and nepa no see the time to take light na now way I dey do something with the light Sha na God go help us for this our country.

Thank goodness I get power bank that is helping keeping my phone 🤳 charge.

Power banks doing the most. 🥲
The way we go from happy to sad because of NEPA is something else.

Well that's Nigerian for us

My first move would be to decentralize power generation and distribution. Instead of depending on the fragile national grid, I’d empower states and private investors to generate their own electricity through solar, gas, and mini-grids, while enforcing prepaid meters for transparency. This way, power is produced locally, distributed fairly, and people finally get reliable light.”

Oshey

I support this your point

Thank you

Nice plan! If only those in charge will think more in this direction.

Abi oooo

Nepa problem nor Dey finish. If you like when e reach your turn complain. Better go buy power bank or solar. Or better still, use your phone dash who get power bank or solar. 🦦

Happy weekend, my people.

Okay.

I have once made a full blog post about Nepa frustration.

During my service year in bayelsa.
My daily blog was full of frustration from light, those people showed me shege oo

I had to finally get used to it.

My power bank was, no, is still my sweetheart, without my power bank I could have just fainted in the middle of the road one day for everybody to see and hear my frustration.

Like I stayed for four months without light, and when the light was finally fixed with our money oo
Not even Nepa that repaired it as it should be.

They didn't even allow us to use the light, for more than three days, they came with bills.
After paying the bills because those people have a way of controlling someone when it comes to light, well truth is we all love light.

They ceased the light for extra one week before they now started rationing it.
Chai Nepa especially in developing state is much more annoying.

Currently, we don't even have light at the side of Abuja I am now for 3 days.
My sweetheart my power bank has been my saving grace.

Eyaah sweet jesus power bank

Yes nah
My lover🥰

Power bank dey choke

Is the love confession to your power bank for me. 😂
Honestly, power banks are so underrated, they do more than NEPA. 😭

Ahhhh
I don't joke with my power bank oo😂😂😂

E clear, e clear! 😂

😂😂😂

Good morning, TGIF 🎉 🥳 ☺️

Well, I don't know if it's just my area or the whole of Nigeria, but Nepa doesn't take light anymore. There's almost 24 hours of light in my area now.

But when there's an issue with the light, I result to my Gen if there's need for it.
@Iquo @ozibaby @buzobaby @beautyme @beccatessy2 @beauty197 @omachi213 come and tell us your own nepa experience.

Same here we use 24hrs light supply and if they eventually take it, they bring it back almost immediately

Woahhh. What state do you reside in because the light we experience in surulere is overdose 😃

Nasarawa oo

Woahhh, so there's constant light in the north. Impressive!

I've never been to the northern part of Nigeria.

I don't know if it's all part of the north though. But yes there's constant power supply

That's good. I hope where you are is calm without trouble from herdsmen.

Wow, what part?

Keffi

Ohh... Keffi too enjoys light. That's nice.

When God said there should be light, your area obeyed , but a lot of other places do not obey that order lol

😂😂 hah they took it personal. Yea but it's in circulation now e go reach every area soon

Hmmm Amen o hehe

Don't worry, other places will obey the call soon.

Amen ooo🙏🙏🙏❣️

Lol 🤣

Good morning madam 🥲

Good afternoon Sis ❤️

How is you today? 💞

I'm fine thank you❣️🙏

It's your area and please don't say this anywhere else, we dey quick jealous for light matter. 😭

24 hours light ke, inside this same Nigeria? Ahhhh! Partial!

Abeg no vex, that's why I said I'm not sure if it's the whole of Nigeria 😃😃😃😃😃

It can not be the whole, and na Nigeria dey give the whole for other countries light o. 😭

I'm not sure if that's still true. Most African countries now have their own power supply.

I'm sure there's probably an issue with light in your area, which I hope is resolved soon.

Yeah, true. Was actually talking about countries outside Africa. But I'm not sure though.

Ooh. OK 👍

Yes we since this week I can't remember if they have ever taken light

Premium enjoyment!

Am telling you

Asian ehh🤔🤔🥲🥲🥲

Chaied..relocation loading...90%

Aww, you guys are enjoying in your area, we use to have 20 hours electricity supply but these days they are just doing whatever they like.

The enjoyment is excess. We usually turn off our freezers because of the constant light.

I hope they go back to giving you light like before. 💕

See enjoyment 😊😊 I hope so too oo

Na all of go enjoy am o. At least even if it's the only thing we get from Baba president 😃😃

As we know them to be, when light is steady in one area in Nigeria, it's abnormal. NEPA people have made us to think like that. 😭

I actually thought they moved everyone to band A. So I expected that there's constant light in every part. 😃

Sorrows!
It's not everywhere o.

Maybe it will be extended to other places soon.

I tell you 🤣🤣🤣 they make light such a big deal.

My light is back, let me charge my phone before they will take their thing.

Lol sharp sharp o, because it's not you that have the light. If you want to have light, get solar. 😂

I tell you, they have carried their thing 🤣 until 10 pm to 2pm at night, heartless people 😂solar on my mind oo

They be craze people i swear

You are band A baby.😊😊 The light is good too at my side, we can't complain in band B. However, they want us to join Band A now. Some people didn't want it and protested too. So we are still in B from what I hear

See the people enjoying Nigeria here. 🥲

As how who dash us😄

I don't know what's wrong with my area, we can stay some months and enjoy 24 hours light, then NEPA will change their mind and put us in 20 hours before you know again we will stay days before they give us light and the circle continues

Normally, NEPA like confusion things. 😂

😂😂😂😂

Asin ehhhhh 😂

Funniest thing is, they do all this without any explanation.

Seriously, and it's annoying

Dis talk go pain some people here sha 😄

Lemme do and drop my own painful one too later...

Abeg make dem no vex o. The light go soon reach other places. 😃😃😃😉😉

E fit no reach you 😄

Nor worry, I go relate with am because I nor know where all these people see steady light. 😂

Na people wey God do am for oo 😄

Nor be lie.

Where's this your area, because my area recently is the opposite.
We use to have light, but lately no light, not even a flash .

I'm in surulere Lagos. We have constant light here.

It seems I will start planning to relocate to Surulere like this ooh.

Nepa have been showing me premium shegee here ooh.

Relocate with wisdom o, don't lose internet and good environment for NEPA light. Go solar baby! 😂

Same in my area recently. From independence day

We have constant lights, I have not used my generator since three years since I moved to my apartment because there is constant electricity.

Why is this country lightly unbalanced? 🥲

Because life no balance

Pls where's your area? I wan relocate

Abeg de come. I'm in Surulere

Oh wow... So surulere's light is good like that
A part of the whole of surulere

Yes, we have constant light. I think it's the whole of Surulere

Wow that's nice

Okay i dey come asap

You better hurry because you are the 57th person 😃

Kadija bring my ghana must go fast fast

Na better question o. Make our light no get issue o 😃

Please don't mention my name in this post oooo🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 u no my experience now

Others don't know, so tell how them how it is 😃

That's not true. Read the comments to my statement and you will see what others are also facing.

Hahaha u come my side before
Lol

My goodness 🤭🤭

Abeg you all should relocate to Surulere where dem no de take light.

Nawaoo

Lolz 😂😂

Direct bullet. 😂

You sef check am na 😃

Wow ooo,in my area, the narrative has changed,we are now enjoying an uninterrupted electricity supply since months ago.👍👍♥️♥️💃💃💃💃.

That's good. Congratulations 🎊

Thanks dear ♥️

I don't even stress or bother myself anymore whenever NEPA takes the light. I just quietly plug in my powerbank and fan.
Where it really affects me is during exam period in school, It will just be as if they are doing it intentionally. Because how can someone be struggling academically, emotionally and now in darkness? what kind of trilogy is this? 😅😭 We are already seeing this 'not having light' as a norms sef 😂
At home, it's only at night, around 11pm to 12am, that we see light, like bro why?

Thats Nigeria nepa for you be that oo no stress ham

Stressing over it will do absolutely nothing

Emotionally, financially...bring all the callys you know. Naija dey for you

It's a surprise when I see light and it's lasting for too long, I'll be like "All these people have plans!" 😂

11pm to 12am, 1hr light ke. 😂 They are definitely not children of light.

😂😂 And that too at night when people are supposed to be sleeping

So annoying! 😂

TGIF!! For now there have been constant light in my area , I just hope they don't start to misbehave.

Enjoy it while it lasts.
That's NEPA slogan. 😭

Seems they Enjoy leaving us in the dark..

They are not children of light. 😭

🤣🤣

My dear o we de get constant light too for here.

Sometimes after praising NEPA, they will now show us their true colors

They've repented. They don't do that anymore 😃

No worry i don collect nepa work i go come remove una light

🤣🤣🤣 no just try am o

Honestly, it's hard coping whenever there's no NEPA light. And to make my situation worse, I live in a place that barely sees 5 hours of light a day.

I would have said 3 hours light a day but I don't want to sound like I'm exaggerating. I mean I can burn fuel to charge my gadgets because that's where I do most work. But then again, burning such an amount of money almost everyday to keep up feels like a waste as a guy who's just trying to find his feet in this shaky economy.

So yeah to cope I just stick to my power bank and on days I don't have light, I either pay to charge at a charging store or then go to a friend's house.

In fact for the past four years I've never been lucky with renting a house in a neighborhood that has constant light. It now feels like a curse. Even though I ask questions from people around about the light situation before moving in. But once I move in, it's either the transformer will develop issues or something else.

Trust me, it's exhausting.

Sometimes, I sit and wonder why we can't just get this light issue right. Is it because our politicians will lose a line to campaign with?

”Vote for me and I'll give you 24/7 light.” Or is there something deeper?

Because there are other options we could explore when it comes to generating light on our dear country than the regular dam i.e hydropower.

If given the opportunity, I'll love to explore more solar power generation like the Chinese did. Thousands of solar panels to generate enough electricity maybe for a community etc. Try the windmills. I mean, there are other means of power generation.

But then, I don't have the power.

Please tag me next time @bbscribe94

See how you are talking like tinubu

E no good? 😂
I dey practice how to be a politician in the future.

Issoright when yoy join locate me ooo i wan chop money

Lol that idea if you had the opportunity, is actually a good one. Utilizing the sun for electricity rather than rely on NEPA.

It's PHCN, not NEPA (I dey my house, come and fight me). 🫣

By the way, I think say the change from NEPA to PHCN go make us dey get steady light but e be like say na now e dey worse.

If I even see steady light, heart dey cut me because them fit go on one blackout wey nor go wan end. Although them dey try for some areas sha and I dey enjoy am sometimes.

How do you cope when “NEPA takes light?

Power bank ways or I make friend with who get solar, life nor hard normally. Even generator now, fuel price nor let near where e dey.

If you had the power to fix Nigeria’s electricity issues, what would be your first move?"

People wey get power now never fit fix am, na me go come fit fix am? Omo! But sha, I go check wetin make e hard for every area inside Nigeria to get light at once and for 24 hours daily. If e dey fixable, sharp! I go run am. 😌

Come here right now! @goldenproject @abdul-qudus but my momma @nkemakonam89 take your time and come ehn. 🥰

Hope I'm not late to the show

I forgot today is Friday

You're not, welcome.

The issue with nepa in our country don tie gele , come Wear koi koi

"If I had the power to fix Nigeria’s electricity issues, my first move will be placing electricity in the top yearly budget ...then give all governors in each state the capacity and resources to ensure 20 hours light daily in each state

If wishes were horses 🤫

@princessbusayo , where u dey hide sef

@merit.ahama i.don land oo

@ajumaa , come join ur fellow naija peeps oo

The issue with nepa in our country don tie gele , come Wear koi koi

From app to electricity i don dey watch you hope say u don join politic for back

Lolz
I can never be a good candidate for politics

You say many fams dey behind your back to support you 😭😃

Not again
I no want ..lol

You don land well, momma. 😂

I don know where I go first reach for inside your house, the ever running fridge with plenty food inside. 🤭

Abeg go and gain the power to fix our electricity issues, I believe in your promises.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You eeh 😃😃

Power issues ( electricity) is one of the annoying issue in this country. Because since I was born and now I am getting older, NEPA has always been suprising us. Some days you will see light for like 72 hours chain and after that, they may also take the light for like a week.
So in some areas they are just fluctuating like simple pendulum.

So If I have a way to fix this power issue, I will give other companies chance to also buy and distribute power, so that customers will have the choice and alternative. Just like the telecommunication sector, we have the choice of switching from one network to the other.

So I think if there is competition, then NEPA might sit up.

That thought! There's no competition so NEPA are acting like alphas, so true. 🥲

Yes ooo, they even come with police men in some areas to disconnect light

 4 days ago (edited) 

You see this NEPA issue ba, it's only God that will help us. I feel that as far as our corrupt politicians are still alive nothing can ever be done about it.

How I cope with NEPA issues depends on the number of days we don't have light, if it's just a day or two and I don't have any serious reason for light, I just make use of my power bank to charge my phone. But for more than two days, I use my Gen. I have food stuffs stuck in my freezer and I cannot allow this yeye NEPA to make me waste food.


If I have the power to fix Nigeria electricity, I go first kpai the useless people wey dey on seat first because na them be the main problem wey we dey face.

Edit: @kachy2022 said i should remove kpai, so i have removed it. I will just pray to God to have mercy on them first before i do the needful 😄

😃😃😃😉 abeg remove the kpai from the list. No be their fault, Nigeria problem pass them.

Yes ma'am 😀

Thank you ma. 😃😃😃😃

People with plenty good for fridge, NEPA dey do ona strong thing. If I reach that stage one day, na solar wey dey carry fridge I go find o. 😂

You did not remove the kpai o, nor deceive us. 😂 Incoming wicked politician. 😂

Once I get money, solar wey go carry freeze dey my budget

You did not remove the kpai o, nor deceive us. 😂 Incoming wicked politician. 😂

I removed it but because you are using your physical eyes that's why you are still seeing it, use your spiritual eyes you won't see anything there 😉

Sharp plan! 😁

I see what you did there, let me go spiritual now. 😂

😂😂😂😂

Nepa i no sure whether they go change

Them no go ever fit change, na only God fit change them

I haven’t had light for a day now, feels like prison

Lol 😂

That means you are enjoying constant light in your area

Others are complaining of light, you want to join them too? Like why? 🫠
Turn on your solar system, Mr Big man. 😂

But at least you have gen or solar right? If not take heart till your light is restored.

My gen is bad. Trying to fix it now.

Eiya, sorry, good luck with the gen, and I hope your light is restored in no time.

How are you?

I'm fine Sam, thank you.

Happy Friday People.

This Nigeria Nepa matter ehn. Na long issues, I currently have two power banks , one doesn't last so much anymore,but I still manage it, the other one is always fully charged and ready to use when Nepa decides to do their werey.
But when there's no light at all for days like weeks , Omo it's to be offline because I no get generator or solar.

But if say I still dey my mama side now , there is this other side on their street that uses a different light , so I just charge my power there and use it when I need to

@mathewdaddywah @justfavour @merit.ahama @hopestylist @afrikens
I don show today o

I be latecomes today i get everybody time for here today

You are welcome , me sef just come.

Why you late today?

Nepa Wahala na e cause ham ooo

That other street wey dey get light when my street nor get dey pain ehn. 😭

Aswear... E dey pain person pass menstrual cramps or labour pain
Seeing light at the next house or opposite and mine is not having light

Labour pain? 😂 You never know how being induced dey , you dey talk Labour pain 😂

Is the comparison for me. 😂
You too do, Afriken. 🤣

😂😂 okay whale ayaf heard....

There's always a street having light when your street doesn't. These our streets nor be be good example?

This one dey dey use band A light and e dey different from our own side. But na same street we dey . Those people that have the light paid over 250 k to have the light dragged to them

Oya now ... It's good to see you. NEPA issue for here at the moment na like ogun idile

😂 no be small thing. Well there has been light since morning. I didn't even charge my phone sef , I have been pressing it , Its now at 16% , I will charge soon

Omo two power banks is not even enough o. NEPA have done it and is still doing it. I just hope that this light problem will solve one day.

For this Nigeria , light problem solved? Tooor issoright let's keep believing, sha I no dey follow Una believe

Having an alternative place to go and charge is bliss! The way it saves us from staying offline for too long is one thing we often undervalue.

Well, you sha still get back up plan. 🙂‍↔️

You’re welcome!

I no go get backup plan soon enough , you no no say I go soon Comot my parents side ? Though sha their light has been okay so far

Enough you say, some people nor get at all. But yeah, try get more solid backup plan.

Happy Friday everyone.

For years now we have been using 24 hours light. It's on rare occasions we go two days without light and if that happens we just accept it in good faith and wait until it's brought back we sha dy go charge our phones for charging point.

Which area be that? I wan relocate, trouble nor good. 🫠

Na just light we dy enjoy oo no be happening place so just dy your dy

🤣🤣🤣
Is the wake up call for me. 😂

You need am oo

Thank you o. 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂😂 e be like.

Abeg enjoy. It's not easy.

Smart age Nigeria. 😂

😃😃😃😃

Likee 😂

Better enjoyment 😉

It's like we will start relocating to your area oo

when it comes to NEPA and thier wahala I just give up because since I was born now I am getting old It's same old routine, so I give up...

the day we see light is like God just remembered us, like you can just be venting your frustration within yourself at the end if the day they will come for bill...

the most annoying part is when it's the last week of the month they will give the light as if they're some good people just so your meter would read high amount that means they know what they are doing ....

like I'm seriously fade up...

one thing I will intentionally do is plan for massive solar system to power my house ... they should go kick the rock with thier light

nonsensical

@nanawrites @jmis101 @careergirl @chi4god @beautyme let's hear your experiences 😆

Lol 😂

like guy .. it's just so f*ng annoying and frustrating

True true it so annoying

Hahaha 😁, that's what we are experiencing in this part of the world, very pathetic,annoying one of that matter😭🥺.

I just can't stop wandering what the real problem is, if there is constant power supply things will be cheap they know this but won't do it ... just so the people keep suffering

Exactly dear, selfish leaders.

That's true

Nonsensical 😂😂😂

yes oooo 😆 i don't like what I hate

😂😂😂😂
They will still do what is on their mind

useless pipo

😂😂😂😂
Ndo

abi 😆 tanqio my dear

It's very pathetic oooooo 😭

as in eeh

Yeah 😁🤣🥺.

Lol solar system is the way o, make money nor be problem. NEPA light is an outstanding problem in this country.

like eehh... it's like a generational thing oo 😆 🤣 😂 😹.. I just tire for them jare

That topic. NEPA
It brings bad memories

I literally learnt how to code by writing cos NEPA didn't give light to charge my borrowed laptop.

Lol this is hilarious. 😂

😪
LOL, Merit is laughing at me 😹

But fr, learning to code by writing was really stressful

I can imagine, you did well.

Abeg no let talk am again, it dey do me somehow, I don too suffer from their hand, I no want to remember past 😂

Lmao, I gett

Saturday is going well

I played in chess tournament and didn't suck like I did yesterday

Thankfully! I was going to cry for you. 😂

LOL,
glad it went well sha

Yeah, I'm glad too. 😌

today was a lot for me, well I learnt true leadership isn't about office and position but rather its about an act of service to your followers...

I am the CLO of the lodge were I stay and on resumption of office I decided immediately i was going to fix something that has never been done or attempted by previous administration...

there has been an issue of water at an extension lodge were other corpers stay, they had a tank but its been there for years and were we are water is an issue these corp members been buying water all along...

on resumption I decide I was going to fix the tank for them so whenever it rains they can have water. I had a meeting with my guys about doing that today, somehow they were very reluctant about doing it. but somehow I was able to charge them get everyone and we went out to do it...

I learnt the grace of teamwork today. somehow someone brought an idea and collectively we were able to raise the tank fix it and set it for the corp members there....

I literally knew this was impossible if I hadn't took up the lead and others follow.

I learnt an act of true leadership today and I felt happy that together we were able to get it fixed it...

hey @nanawrites @careergirl @blackbird @emachrise @jmis101 @chi4god @newbreed @gloreal @sylvasticks what did y'all did today...c'ommon let's hear it

This was beautiful to read, you are doing great as the new CLO already. I bet they will respect you for other plans you will think and have to do.

That's a Saturday well spent.

thanks so much .... that's onething about leadership you earned respect trust and confidence from those you lead naturally

True, it's amazing to know you've experienced it. 😁

yeah thanks

Hmmm, today has been a very hectic one on my side, since morning till now I have been busy, from one domestic work to another. As it stands now,I am peeling melon seeds and I am very tired.

as in eeh ... I know Saturdays are always this way 😆 🤣 I can relate kpele

That's it, it is always a busy day on its own 😀.

hope you get some rest

Yes dear.

Wow!! That's beautiful. Yes , leadership is about literally means serving for them not them serving for you. Good job CLO👍

thanks thanks my amiable @chefqueen

Hello everyone in the house

My Saturday was fun and fulfilling.

I had one owanbe today.

I attended a weeding ceremony of my friend. I promised my self that come rain come shine that I must attend the event, and unfortunately it was raining heavily when I was about leaving the house, so I waited, when the rain subsided, I had to move. I arrived the event and I was happy I did.
