Why Do Nigerians Celebrate Short Bursts Of Constant Electricity?? by kYjelly2(op): 1:45pm On Mar 01, 2017
My aunt and I were having an argument about power supply.

She was praising Fashola, saying that power has now improved, just because they had power constantly for like a week.

I tried to explain to her that if they are enjoying power, it means others are suffering, as we are still generating below 5GW.

She started saying I was biased and it's because I don't support Buhari.

Now, for the past one week, they have barely seen any electricity undecided


Just made me wonder why we celebrate mediocrity all the time.

Trust me, if we start generating like 7GW, I will be the first to celebrate and not before.

Every year Nigerians celebrate that "light is constant", then right after that, they are plunged back into darkness sad

It can't be short burst and then be constant in one sentence.

Yes it can!

For instance, you can have A WEEK of constant electricity and ANOTHER WEEK of epileptic power supply.

A week of constant rain fall and another week with no rain fall.

In the absence on the preferable, why not celebrate the available?

I don't even celebrate, when I see light for a week or two, I get skeptical. My mind keeps telling me "go get enough fuel for the generator". You already know why. It's because we've not been having standard supply of electricity. Don't blame us.
