Has NEPA (PHCN) Ever Made You Mad?

This NEPA sef.  They have done so many things to us in this country.  People have died because of NEPA.  People have lost opportunities because of NEPA.

On the 18th day of March, 1984, all but one of the babies in the [LUTH?] incubating room died because of NEPA's antics.The one surviving baby is none other than me! (I was born premature at 6 months).

Now,there are instances when you want to do something important, or are watching an interesting movie or a match, and NEPA strikes.  Maddening, huh?  Well,come and tell us about your experiences with NEPA!

@layi, don't take the name of the Lord in vain.

Interesting@snazzydown. I am writing a novel about Nepa's inefficiency in Nigeria. At first, I used to be disappointed by the power failure in Nigeria. You could be watching a movie in the middle of the night with your siblings, and boom, Nepa strikes.  Now living in America with its massive electrical output, I now reminiscence fondly on blackouts in Nigeria, that led to outdoor activity in Calabar. Nepa takes light and the whole neighbourhood troops outdoors for fun, while battling with mosquitoes. And when the light comes on, everybody shouts NEPA.

Chei, memories of Nigeria. Very wonderful memories.

when you want to attach pictures or reply to posts and then pow!!!NEPA!!!!

I hated NEPA. But thanks to Generator now.

Anyways i don't have to deal with NEPA anymore. But i remember those days of coal iron. And my white uniform will have black stains. Chaiii,  This is another reason why i think the person that made the topic "is life really better abroad", wasnt thinking staight when s/he made it.

They've made me go wild

The funny thing is that those stupid people still come to take bills at the end of the month.

My mom knew one of the collectors so she didn't really have to pay that much.

The funny thing is that they took any amount from her and distributed it among themselves in front of her anytime she went to pay her bill [about 2000 unlike other people who pay 26000].

from their name,can't u see that they hold the light and dnt shear it?

I CALL THEM SCAMMERS. we shouldnt  need a gen when we pay  for  light bills

NEPA they don't even read the meter, they just give you some kind of useless bills either too high or too low,  at least it favoured us

Most of those hospitals now have "Stand-by Generators". Any hospital that has patients on Life suport deffinitely has stand-by gens. So i think those people will be fine if the power is interrupted.

Does anyone in the house understand why energy generation and distribution cannot work in Nigeria? Or is it simply mismanagement of resources and corruption, like everything else?

i heard that while d doctors were operating on me in BMH NEPA took light, and d standby gen didnt come on, on time, it almost killed me

NEPA is a phantom organisation, all the budgeted for the phantom organisation is plain waste, what's the use of the billions when you can get electricity.

Thank God NEPA only gets hold of me once a year,

When you want to seep NEPA would strike no fan or AC and Mosquito start to attack

hahahahahahah

This thread was not properly titled.

The real title should read:

Does NEPA(PHCN) Still make you Mad?

After almost 21 years of NEPA's inconsistencey, most of us have become so used to it that it is a surprise when light stays for more than 2 days at a stretch. In my first month here in the states, i actually thot of buying a battery-operated headlamp IN CASE NEPA struck! I also bought a box of matches but found no candles!

Even children nowadays by the age of 2 know the full meaning of NEPA! Never Expect Power Always!

My 2 year old Daughter sums it up perfectly when her cartoons are taken away from her, "Daddy, NEPA's RUBBISH"
