One more advantage of being a Nigerian - We have adapted and can now see in the dark.
Even bat and owl no see for darkness reach us.

I don't know what the noise about Nigeria and electricity is all about. Is it compulsory to follow the world order? We are about to show the world a new civilisation.

As much as i appreciate mr abati's writeup
he really hasn't said anything we didnt know before,
& for the 100th time, Mr abati, offer solutions!!!

you don't go around knocking Nigeria & Nigerians down without
proferring a solution.

Why Abati hasn't joined politics, I don't understand. Sebi, he has ideas about how Nigeria should be run.

Yeah, that true, Just like I look at my mobile phone now and look back in those days when you beg NITEL official to give you "ring tone" . Or use your car to carry NITEL ladder to fix their line OR having to pay for their SWITCH station

Nigeria has the most useless government humanity has ever had!

Seconded, all indices pointing towards the fact that Nigeria is a FAILED state what a shame

Everyday, I get more and more convinced that Nigerian rulers are demonic bastards!!

u just read my mind.

3500 mw in nigeria! Thats news for the HONOURABLE minister. but who wants to tell us au electricity has improved in his/her neighbourhood in the past 2 years. One step forwad, 11 backward. God dey sha.

make dem com naija now.

At people daring mr abati to try his hands in government/politics, i daresay that being a good critic does not make you a good leader. everyman should know his area of core competence.

the guy is only reporting. he's a journalist. what else do we expect from him

I need the sound of my generator to rock me to sleep

its only in naija u r worried for u get sustained power for a day or longer n quite rightly rejoice when it s taken.

Hope you've considered the security risks of running your Gen Overnight 
If i'd advise, use an inverter at night instead.

Abi oh, I remember back then after some heavy winds/rainfall, our Nitel lines will normally cut and we'd be forced to get a ladder and trace the problem all the way to their local exchange 

so fucking funny i hope it was their very own
NEPA- never expect power always
or
PHCN- please hold candles at night

AjanleKoko:

Was in a BA flight to Baltimore in August, from Heathrow.
Cabin lights were switched off prior to take-off, and one little Nigerian girl in the aisle shouted 'NEPA!'
I'm not kidding. This actually happened. Could not stop laughing.

chei, 9ja don finish!

How safe are candles used in nigeria and the way they are used?People blame most sicknesses and deaths on witch crafts and mysteries but things that kill people most are every day mundane stuffs they ignorantly and compulsorily use as result of bad government.

Indeed.

Nigerians take pleasure in complaining and condemning and so govt leaves them much to complain about. it occupies the masses, makes them feel important since they then subconsciously believe that they are more capable than authorities. However, If the entire time Nigerians spent repeatedly pointing out the obvious was substituted with endless researching solutions to inform the right parties , I'm confident we would be in a better place . We certainly couldn't be worst off today.

This was before Abati joined a govt that could not move the needle on power supply, chop his own and cleaned mouth
