I am referring to this our condemnable habit of shouting NEPA whenever power is restored. I am short of words to describe this show of shame. Even now that the body of NEPA has been laid to rest, we have continued to invoke its spirit to haunt the extant power companies.

Unless the generation that started the phrase is gone,i dont see it dissipate coz thats the norm in every naija born blood,no matter how educated u are.My parents,uncle,anties started it b4 me,so be accustomed to it and stop grouching

Let me be frank,i remember vividly fews years ago,do u know that the Chant 'Up Nepa' got me dancing like a kid with my friends when their was power outage for a long period of time in my area,it was thing of fun,forget that the state power is deploring daily,but it adds a little spice to life for we in naija. But i pray someday it will be a thing of the past.

So what should take the stead of "UP NEPA"? Cos corrective
measures can start from you and I.

jhydebaba: Poverty is the main curse cause.



I marvel at how even a 5 year old shout "UP NEPA", don't blame them pls, they also feel the heat.


The trend will continue to go from generation to generation until there is constant electricity.


BTW, kids also fake "UP NEPA" and this can really hurt an adult after saying a silent "thank u Jesus" only to ON the light and find out he has been fooled.
Kids do this a lot especially when u have prolonged blackout.

u are right LOL!!. They do It here!

This reminds me of a song from popular Yoruba Fuji Musician, Pasuma in one of his albums: Orobokibo

Up NEPA, ti NEPA ba mu'na lo, odi dan-dan kan mu'na de.

(If there is power cut from NEPA,it's mandatory for NEPA to supply power again)

O ga ooo UP NEPA since eons!

spikes C: so all Nigerians are now spiritualists as everyone invokes the spirit called NEPA, which can now haunt on the new management companies.


The irony of weirdos tagging others as weird.

btw, the exclamation is Up NEPA





oga seun, that we had data loss doesn't mean meaningless threads should fill up the FP

Olori oko Seun, where is your note pad?

In fact, the word, UP NEPA is the first Language a todler will learn even at the age of 1 month in Nigeria. Useless officials

that was the first Phrase my One year old nephew learnt, when he and his mom Came to Spend the hols with us. true story!

It's quite unfortunate many missed the humour. I now believe that many Nigerians are intolerant of change.

Your right . . . .

Come to think of it - why do i call 'Okada' (motorcycle taxi) Okada?

I've been 'Nigerianized.......

Nwa_Nimo:

The truth I must confess I have unearthed is that many a Nigerian wants this country to remain the way it is so they can always have a bad tale to tell about it. The thinking of some seems analogous to a sadist's. Nigerianisation should mean something high in substance.

Then the Nigerian Govt shd make power stable.... Btw, NEPA is the only suitable pronounce name.... Imagine some1 saying UP PHCN

Welrez: I hope you were not programmed to become Shekau's by the same Nigeria.

so you open thread becos of up Nepa......smh.... Pls find sumtin better to do jor

Especially when it has taken up to 2 to 3 days before they restore power, at that point when the light shines unexpectedly mehn I dey follow shout wow! Up nepaaaah

Nwa_Nimo:

No....but after how many decades of 'Nepa' the habit of cursing them won't cease over night.

Nwa nnaa gwa fa na Nimo nwere mmadu

A nigerian man travelled to the united states without having the neccessary papers, on getting to the airport the authorites discovered that there has been an illegal immigrant and there was immediate man hunt for this nigerian man. Due to the large population at the airport the naija Guy was able to mix up among the crowd and the securities couldnt find him. An american now suggested that the power at the airport should be switched off for about 2minutes,after the 2minutes the power was been restored...lo and behold!the naija Guy was heard shouting UP NEPA thus given away his hidden position and he was caught red-handed. NAH OUR BLOOD E DEY JARE.

its grammar and not grammer..

Dis syndrome of shouting ' UP NEPA '' runs virtually in d blood of those who lived a life full of fun at dia tender age.... As a matter of fact, sometimes I stl say dis tins unconsciously and jst smile afterwards

I am very sure you don't have better things to talk about.

Welrez: We just have to stop this nonsense. If it was a behaviour displayed only by children, it would have been easy to comprehend. It is an anomaly for an adult to indulge in such a puerile act. It might mislead an alien to think we are still in the Stone Age.

I am referring to this our condemnable habit of shouting NEPA whenever power is restored. I am short of words to describe this show of shame. Even now that the body of NEPA has been laid to rest, we have continued to invoke its spirit to haunt the extant power companies. And as if to corroborate my suspicion of an uncannily diabolical nexus between the gone and the existing, the shout of NEPA is usually crowned with an ephemeral stay of power before returning us to pits of darkness.

That habit is now a generational curse unless we give it a natural death by giving constant light
