THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE!

I was on my way to the chapel for the Covenant hour of prayers yesterday at about 5:20am, when I saw from afar, on a street leading into the estates, sparkles emanating from a live cable that got severed and dropping across the footpath sprawling on a substantial part of the motorway!�

In fact, approaching this tool of disaster, I could only imagine what this would cause if ignored just like others did! But to my utmost surprise the ever busy 'Lagosians' that came through this thing simply muttered some inaudible words to themselves and took a bend! But I couldn't same (I am a Social Interventionist)!

While I took a safety position there, I combined directing vehicular traffic, early morning joggers and other passersby on the danger lurking in the dark, soon enough, I had other two men onboard for the rescue while I beckoned on Magnus Chukwueloke Edward my brother in Christ who was already in church at this time, to help with an electricity bill note, wherein I can get a rescue helpline. But alas! He even got one of the manager's number stored.

Special thanks to the lady-manager (don't know her name) from the Gowon-estates IKEDC office who picked up calls as early as that morning, I spoke with her, she inquired where I was calling from and street name was given. In lessthan 10mins, electricity in that whole area was withheld, I became restful atlast.

In follow up on this, at about 10am same morning, engineers from IKEDC were mobilized to the faulty cable and got it fixed.

Kudos to this company, this is how it should be! It can only get better!
