Good morning everyone, I have been considering things about this topic for a while and i can't help it any longer.

You maybe wandering why I think/feels or even why am convinced that PHCN/NEPA is in one way directly or indirectly involved in the robberies that occurs at night.

Before, I put My reason through I will like to ask a few questions about the PHCN and their supremacy over Nigerians and the Nigerian government.

This questions might be odd to some people but those who can read in between the lines will definitely understand my point.

1. First question is why is there no steady power supply?

2. Why is it that each time we see light even after months and years, they day we happen to see them bring power and maybe in the next 30munites it starts raining then light goes off?

a.Does it mean that our light is alegic to rainfall?
b.Was this the same fate Ghana had when Nigeria was there source of power, if yes then
c.why did Ghana celebrate either 10 or 20 years of non power interruption?

3. Are Nigerians that gullible that we won't have light for 6months yet PHCN brings bill and we pay, because if you don't pay they ( PHCN ) supply's power the next few days and boom you see them come with ladder to cut off your wire because you did not comply to pay even after not having power supply for 6months

4. Are we that gullible?
That phcn will supply high voltage after 6months of darkness, get your electrical gadgets burnt to pieces yet they still bring bill and enforce you to pay after all the damage.

5. Why is it that if your area light is faulty you have to call NEPA /PHCN before they know that your light is faulty? I mean in Cote D'Ivoire once a line is faulty in the next 20munites you will see their power technical teams trying to fix it, and they surely will fix it else they sleep on the spot and work all night just to make sure that the amount of minutes or hours of the faulty line is reduced to the bearest minimum.

Why is our own different?
Who placed such a curse on Nigeria?
Is Nigeria ever gonna get better as one Nigeria?

Anyways, I believe if everywhere is well lighted up night robberies in our neighborhood would be a lot more difficult than as its a lot more easier now.
Advanced countries use electricity to fight crime and empower indiginus small industries.

But in Nigeria PHCN uses darkness to empower criminals and bandits by making an enabling environment for crime and banditry.

Who then can argue this otherwise?

I rest my case.
Let's join the campaign against darkness and corruption in the PHCN join. The conversation on twitappy.com

This generation don't want change yet.

So op what do u suggest, a riot? Maybe a protest of group of guys wearing Tshirts labeled "enough is enough " or ..... come on share your suggestions.

Go and meet them tell them not to give you light during the day except at night. Give them small change too. That's what we did in our community especially with the menace of these robbers.

Change is far from this generation, if this generation had really wanted change then they would have done things the right way.

Until we are able to hold PHCN/NEPA accountable to our money then this mess will never stop, do you know that most at times when they take power supply its a delibrate act? not as if, once they allow power supply to flow then the nation will be on fire...

Sometimes i ask myself what is the main reason why they even take light?
sometimes they flash on and off for over 3times before taking the light indefinately, its painful, yet they bring bill...

We need a law that will make PHCN answerable to we the consumers whenever they missbehave =..

If we have had cases of dragging phcn to court for not providing power supply, or for your fish,meat or other perishables that perished due to lack of power then, we will be glad say now we are on the same page.

but without the citizens having power to ask for their right from these people then we are heading nowhere!

I am not calling for any protest whatsoever, but i know we have senetors who are there to speak for us, let us ask them for that simple bill that we empower the citizens each time theres bridge of contract.
