WE call it light; “electricity” is too sterile a word, and “power” too stiff, for this Nigerian phenomenon that can buoy spirits and smother http://www.nenyville..com/2015/02/chimamandas-lights-out-in-nigeria.html?m=1 16 Likes 5 Shares |

Aunty Chima, Nice piece, but we already know these things. Did you write this to remind us that you can write? That you have two generators and an inverter? That you have a gate man? Or to proffer a solution 10 Likes 1 Share |

Lool, nice piece of writing. All we need is an alternate means of electricity, if we were serious we would be able to invest those billions spent on worthless private jets, campaign money e.t.c on harnessing other forms of electricity through Solar Energy, Coal or even Refuse. Nuclear power is out of the equation, in as much as its very costly to build and maintain, a huge damage could cost devastating and catastrophic problems in Nigeria like the Fukishima disaster in Japan Anyway i'm WAITING FOR Buhari and GEJ FANS IN 3......2.......1 2 Likes 1 Share |

Stable electricity will means lower fuel consumption by the citizens. There's a certain amount in budget allocated to fuelling generators in federal ministries & even state House. NEPA/PHCH or whatever they're bearing now uses generator in their offices, filling stations, refinery, companies & industries nationwide have atleast 2 standby generator to run daily. A solution Jonathan can't achieve in 6yrs, will he be able to in 4yrs? The $20million for new dam project that is missing, where is it? We've seen the best of Jonathan's administration, let's give another man a chance. If after 4yrs, Buhari couldn't achieve the expected, we massively vote him out too. We can't keep a clueless man as President just because his state owns a vanishable resources 7 Likes |

We need to up our game in this country. We usually claim we are a nation of smart people, but we are still grappling with solving power issue. Is that not shameful? This write up will be read all over the world about how ineffective and inefficient our leaders have been in the past. This is a time of decision. We have tried GEJ and there has been not noticeable change. Lets give our mandate to GMB/APC with a stern message that we must have at least 18hrs of constant light after their 2 year reign in office, and if they fail to perform, we kick them out again. By that, we'll be telling the politicians that the power to hire and fire indeed reside with the people and our decision will be based on measurable performance. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Sorry if the electricity situation hasn't improved in your area. But where I stay both in akwaibom (PDP) and benin city (APC), I can boast of 16hrs electricity /day, far less better before GEJ's administration. Ask your state governors and local government chairmen some questions. 2 Likes |

some of this literary activist only end up painting the country bad. Nigeria is not where we want it to be but at least its not where it use to be. power supply has been on the increase since last year October better than it ever was. forming freedom fighter by fighter by writing. the once your forefathers wrote are still there and how many impact did they have. we should stop this criticism and UsE our writing to prefer solution we all know how bad the situation is but let's count our achievements and stop running about in a round. reality check like this post if you can't remember the last time you drank garri because of hunger 3 Likes |

There is nothing spectacular about this write-up. Only a child who has not been conceived would be unaware of Nigeria's power problem. And many writers have wrote and also proferred solutions to the problem. Someone of Chimammanda's standing (even though I have always felt she has always been hyped) should not only identify the problem, but also suggest ways of tackling it. If not, then she should just shut up! And, power has improved greatly in some parts of this country; if we want to be truthful with ourselves. 2 Likes |
