The Nigeria power industry is yet to live up to its expectation from the inception of it operations. Electricity distribution in Nigeria is still a much talked about issue among all social classes in the country. As it affect the poor who are unable to afford other means of providing this form of energy for themselves, so it does to the average person as well as the rich who out of their quest for comfort have exploited other options. The commonest option which is the gasoline generator requires extra money to buy fuel and servicing of this machine. However, there is this phrase that has overtime been passed from one lineage to the other despite the fact that the institution with the sole responsibility of providing electricity for Nigerians has changed it name on various occassions in the last decade, Nigerians are much more accustomed to the name NEPA.
Nevertheless, my reason for bringing up this issue as a matter of discusses is; Nigerians, despite the untold hardship, insecurity, unemployment, loss of person-hour and under-industrialization amongst others that they have undergone due to the epileptic power supply in the country still chant UP NEPA! whenever light is restored. One thing to note is that most Nigerians say this phrase like it is a reflex action. I can recall vividly well on an occassion where light was restored after a week of power outage, the whole of my street went on an UP NEPA euphoria for over five minutes. Truth is, Nigerians forget the hardship the absence of electrcity caused them in seconds while they chant this phrase. Hence, despite the fact that the current administration has stepped up its operations on power supply yet, this chanting is nowhere close to going oblivion. As it is chanted by the poor, so it is shouted by the rich, young and old. My question today is 'When will Nigerians stop shouting UP NEPA'?
