1.It is commercialized
2.The problem is, the rules governing it are set up in a way that price controls remains in the hands of government
3.Yes, Buhari should allow the DISCOS to charge cost reflective tarrifs. But the man does not want to take the right decision once it is percieved to be 'unpopular'

The countries where you want to jakpa to have working power systems because people pay their bills on time, don't bypass meters, and the power companies do not have their prices set below their cost of production by the government, and subsides are funded from tax revenue, not from the sale of crude oil, and are paid for people in need, not for everyone.

Here in Nigeria, we bypass meters, don't pay our bills, and chase power company workers with machetes. And we expect them to give us power with which money?

Yes, you read the title correctly. PS. I am here only to read mature inputs and comments from people who have passed through similar situations or have experience in what I want to talk about. If you have nothing tangible to contribute, turn back now and enjoy your life.

My Backstory
I was born and raised in a church that is basically a copy cat of Deeper Life in terms of doctrine, worship, lifestyle and conduct. No earrings, tattoos, jeans, etc. If you are familiar with deeper life, you know what I'm talking about.

There's one major difference though, there's a strong emphasis on the activities of witches, wizards, household enemies and praying against them ( fall down and die prayers). This part will become very important later.

Childhood & formative years
I don't want to reveal too many details here, but let's just say my family is a prestigious one in the church, with both parents in the workforce and Dad being an especially loyal, vocal and committed pastor. He can do and undo for the ministry in terms of giving, sacrificing his time, coordinating activities and so on. Naturally, there was this obvious pressure to follow his footsteps and I can say I was already toeing that path, from when I was intelligent enough to read, to my teenage years.

I was already very proficient in biblical stories and could the KJV word for word, chapter and verse without blinking from a around age 7 - 8, something that got me a lot of love and respect in the church. I remember a particular incident in my primary school where my class teacher wanted to show me off. He entered me into a Bible quiz meant for people 2 classes above mine without prior notice and let's just say I didn't disappoint him or my class. First place

I never shyed away from youth programs, evangelisms, sharing handbills of our upcoming crusades and programs, staying after service to clean the church, etc. I also tried my very best to live a holy life, following peace with all men and holiness, and presenting my body as a living sacrifice. I never hungout with fellow boys in my class, as I saw them as sinners and the things they were doing as things that will compromise my salvation.

As I grew older and older, I began to realise that there were so many different types of churches and doctrines they believed and practiced, which were different from ours.

Our G.O and my dad used to criticize so many of these churches, showing us from the Bible why some of their beliefs and practices were wrong and how they were hellbound. I believed all of it hook, line and sinker.

Anytime Education took me out of the home, I always attended DLCF, (deeper life campus fellowship) as I felt at ease with their doctrines and manner of service, almost 100% same thing I have known and experienced from childhood. This was directly recommended to us by the G.O so I just followed suit.

The turning points
I gained admission into one of the most competitive schools and courses in Nigeria, a feat my dad calls a miracle till date, due to some circumstances that happened after he prayed for it to happen. It was legal admission though, I beat the cutoff mark set.

Just before I resumed, I had become more and more interested in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in tongues. I couldn't speak in tongues up to this point.

A few days after I resumed in my hostel, a member of a church I had never heard of was on evangelism. I always took my time to listen to and even entertain people like this, because I know the amount of bravery it takes and what they face from mockers, abusers and those who just want to argue, in order to encourage them and learn even more points to use when I was going on mine.

He told me he could pray for me and I will start to speak in tongues. I was shocked and flatly refused. What I had been taught was Salvation > Water Baptism > Sanctification > Infilling / indwelling of the Holy Ghost.

He then quoted the case of Cornelius' household (Acts 10: 44 - 46) and those who eventually became the elders of the Ephesian church when they first met Paul ( Acts 19: 1 - 7)

He quoted these as instances of instant Holy Ghost baptism, without the Sanctification part and I was very baffled. I simply didn't know how to respond...
