No Electricity For Years by jeff1607(op): 6:02am On Oct 15, 2016

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section. I saw a post of someone expressing his joy on how electricity is abundant in his area.

For years now, we haven't experienced that at all, despite other communities having electricity and this area is owned by the Lagos government still nothing has been done despite several complaints, even after paying for concrete poles, we still had to pay twice again to get electric poles dispersed in the area.

I don't really know if there is a propaganda here, now we are to pay for transformers which we know the money won't be used to procure any. This area houses the broadcasting stations of both channels TV and TV continental, even some lagos government officials own properties here still don't know why nothing is been done.

if anyone has any idea where else I can get a solution to remedy d situation without bribe because it's now getting out of hand. using generating sets everyday no be beans.

You are not alone. Shit has been with my area for more than 15yrs, hardly get any reasonable supply and you see surrounding areas having good supply. Im talking Ajara/ Badagry area of Lagos State. Amadioha should be the only response to be invoked on all these useless people trying to inconvenience our lives....

Do you have any idea how it can be tackled?

My dear brother, i got no clue, but i know this one fact. That Nigeria, as it is right now, is one giant zoo, only fit for animals to live in

there's quite a few threads in the NL archives on Solar power. Perhaps a few motivated ppl in your community can put together a joint effort. if you're serious about this put in the search and research time.

I ve tried that too but the issue now is maintenance, changing batteries and all.

as for the community, anytime we wanna do or plan anything, the LCDA always try to monetise it, if u get my point.

letters have been written, meetings have been made but nothing, to the extent that we pay and yet they do nothing.

Ikorodu is a large area in Lagos.

Just drawing your attention to the fact that you'll stand a chance of getting help if you provide specifics. is what I think.
