Do any of these our so called 'heroes' ever write about our successes when moaning to their foreign newspapers? Chimamanda, what about the railway revolution we are experiencing after 30 years of nothing? Is that not worth writing about in the New York times? What about the improving roads, both federal and state? The infrastructural successes in places like Akwa Ibom, Enugu and Lagos? What about the agricultural revolution? What about INNOSON and the car manufacturing revolution? Have they warned you not to send them positive news about your country? Is your fame dependent on constantly running down your country?

but at least in my area we have "interrupted" 8hrs daily of light

Surely victory is yours. God bless our army God bless Nigeria God bless GEJ

Like say we no knw. All our pple in diaspora, make una come join hand make we make naija better....writing big grammar all d tym wnt help us

Babes I dey always love ur gr8 writing skill sha..

He has six years and billions of dollars to fix our power, step down now for someone else to try

Ohhh! I don't like this

Where's my Quote button?

I thought the lady lives in America? How can she know how we suffer power supply? Maybe she is speaking from the few times a year she comes over to Nigeria for holidays.

all these problems for one person?
Gateman must be a big liar den.
Such things no longer happen.

I admire Chimamanda. However, there's really nothing new in her writeup. Reads more like a short story than an article. I love it though!

ROSSIKE I like your post up there!

What happened to the 'quote button '?

So, NL disabled the 'quote' button. Seun, i dey suspect u and Amanda. E be like say una dey run parole

Chimamanda knows how to use simple english to drive points.

[size=18pt]Chimamanda in stingy, because she can afford to live where there is 24 hours power supply in Lagos and on Bonny Island in Rivers state and she will not even hear the sound of any generator.[/size]

Here in unizik awka main campus, we get up to 23 hours of light daily.
Our generators are suffering from under use.
Ask a unizik student who lives on campus when last he used kerosene to cook.
He'll laugh at you and say he doesn't even have a kerosene stove but cooks everyday.
#hotPlate on point.

To everyone ranting that the lady only came show that she can write or to tell us what we already know, I have every reason to believe you missed the message.

Chimamanda was merely drawing our attention to the things she supposed we should take into consideration before casting our votes. She's using her skill to carry out some form of sensitization. Obviously, she's doing an implicit campaign and, more so, against my preferred candidate but if I must attack her, it wouldn't be on the ground that she has only come to impress us with her writing skills but on the points she made which, in my own opinion, are not completely valid.

Whichever way, I appreciate her efforts and time. And I'd expect intellectual counter attacks here and not some funny critics born out of ignorance.

Nice write up, most families spend more on providing their own electricity than on food. Shame

Good.

Good enough for mental exercise. For now,let us focus on GEJ and GMB as per 14th of april. Afterwards,we can make use of this nice article.

How can you even begin to say she needs to offer solutions? Is she your leader? She has done her part(which is remind us all that we are far too old a nation to have epileptic power supply) she did not lie did she? And no,power isn't better in Nigeria! Abuja that should be the capital of Nigeria has the most laughable Electricity....if u don't believe this,pack your load and move in with someone in Garki or wuse which are one of the so-called elite areas....in just a day,phcn would clear your doubt,people have just 5 or so hours of electricity per day....if you like GEJ,go ahead but don't say he has done any wonders in the power sector....
