So lately, we have been hearing some positive news, especially most recently when some of the Chibok girls were released.
But what I’ll like to talk about is the rate at which the power supply in the country has ‘increased’.
The power supply in Nigeria has suffered badly in the first quarter of 2017 if compared to the first quarter of the previous year. According to a power poll by NOIPolls for the first quarter of 2017. The results of the poll revealed a decline in the state of power supply to Nigerian households to 30 percent in Q1, 2017 from the 37 percent obtained in Q4, 2016.

Also it was revealed that the lowest power supply to households in Q1, 2017 was observed in the month of January 2017 at 21 percent. The power supply drop was attributed to the shortage of gas to the power generating companies and low water levels at the hydro power stations.
The power supply however rose in February 2017, there was a surge in the power supply as it rose to 35 percent. The increase was attributed to the increased amount of power supplied to the power generating companies.

Meanwhile, on April 21, 2017, President Muhammadu Buhari nominated Prof James Momoh for the position of Chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), and his name was forwarded to the Senate for confirmation.

The power issue in the country is no joke though, some will argue it has improved and they get ‘light’ regularly, I can’t relate, it’s so bad I used a phone (Motorola Droid Razr M) with 2000mAh, which is a nice phone but the battery was always running down, I had to get a Tecno L9 Plus with 5000mAh, even lasts longer than my Laptop which I thought I needed so badly in my life but thanks to my phone I’m not all that worried about the power supply problems.

What do Nigerians think about the power state of the country though? Has it really improved? Light dey una side?

I believe if we were in a country that had constant power supply, a lot of things would gel for us, they need to fix power in this country and a lot of things will begin to fall in place.

You have a 5000mah battery phone good for you. At this rate it won't be long before any Smartphone below 4000mah battery becomes one.

We rarely dey get light...2 days off 6hrs on. I bought a power Bank, it wasn't enough so i had to buy a 2nd power Bank to charge the first powerbank

Lol you realize you're talking about Nigerian politicians right? People that care about themselves only, I used to think they cared about themselves first then the people but nahhhh, it's themselves only.

It's​ clear there are cabals behind this. 2017 and we're no closer to having a steady power supply in Nigeria. It's a shame really.
