Whatever you term yourself

We are all victims of one expression

UP NEPA!!

More like chants or chorus; it never dies

Since time immemorial.

After 30 secs. of undying chants from old & young; strong & feeble

The power gets interrupted (or in Lagos terms- NEPA takes the light)

Like the saying goes—

‘too many cooks spoil the broth’!

Faces turn gloomy

The woman that tried to garner charge on her phone has this disgusted look on her face that reads ‘oh Lord, deliver me from this country oo’

The Ibadan descent welder with his signature accent and his characteristic tribal marks, who was about to accord NEPA with accolades in his local parlance, let out a heavy-lasting sigh ‘ko ni da fun awon NEPA. ise ti mo fe se ba yi…ah olorun sa nu mi’

The glued-to-television kids who are pretentiously curious as to whether Maya Dela Rosa will accept Sir Richards proposal (which she should, based on logistics) are in turn frustrated, and in same vein, abuse NEPA ‘idiots, later you will see them with their flat yansh cutting peoples light’ …. [ if all these curses directed at NEPA hasn’t changed a thing or even, hasn’t added a single MegaWatt, why can’t we start blessing them when they take light…who knows things might change, just saying tho’ ]
