Article by KENNEDY TAREOTU for Marshup Africa/ America. It was a very cold harmattan filled morning in my home in Lagos, just around Pleasure, Iyana Ipaja, when the ikeja electricity distribution worker came into my compound to pass the light bill. I went to him being candid and pained, having seen 7,890 naira as the bill. I wasn’t bothered by the money implemented as my bill, I was more eager to know how an incompetent structure in control of the distribution of electricity had failed in giving the area light throughout the month November to an extent it caused a rout, which made them to pass a compensation notice, giving the citizens in the area electricity for only one hour per day and night, in a total of 24 hours in December.

It’s an artful aspersion to the citizens, having the Ikeja Electricity distribution company branch just on the road at AJE street, in the same area and still failed to give nothing less than 1 hour of light per day, and yet pass an over 7000 naira bill for the people to pay.

It is my open letter to say ‘as a President, you are logically a Father to a family, whose concern is to settle the need of the family, which are shelter, feeding and an assurance of a better future to the siblings of the family, which are the citizens of the nation. The everyday pursuit of thieves is a desertion of priorities, even if it should be glared on as a priority; it cannot stand as number one to a nation with diversities of challenges’

Nigeria as a country has long failed to register a worthy standard of living, with the poor not able to survive on our daily meals lesser than a dollar. It is of total truth, that the cost of living in United state of America is higher than the Cost of living in Nigeria, yet the average is likely to finely survive because of the minimum wage and salaries which is higher than the monthly expenditure on any scale of preference.... continue reading http://www.marshupafrica.com/news/nigeria-acountrywithoutlight
