Now that the youths have moved for
# NotTooYoungToVote and our Legislators voted the bill... Why don't we move for another one?
I'm thinking # NotTooPoorToHaveLight .
Just a thought though!

“Nigerian youths have been obsessed with the peripherals — social media, fashion, individual difference, embracing the West. No one is asking the right questions. What will it take to have light. for a full day? What is the government doing with funds it generates? How can we, together solve the power problem in our area? Nigerian youths have more power than they think they do”

have you ever hear anything about this?

The Ikere Gorge Dam is a major earth-fill dam in Iseyin local government area of Oyo State in the south west of Nigeria on the Ogun River. Reservoir capacity is 690 million m3.[1] The dam was initiated by the military regime of General Olusegun Obasanjo and started in 1983 by the administration of Shehu Shagari. The dam was planned to generate 3750 MW of electricity, to supply water to local communities and to Lagos and to irrigate 12,000 hectares of land. Built in 1982/1983, work on the dam was abandoned by subsequent military governments.[2] A report for the UN in 2004 said that no irrigation had taken place so far, but efforts were being made to implement one of the five planned irrigation projects. The project was based on the sprinkler system which is difficult to manage and requires that the farmers be trained.[3]
