“Every time my neighbor’s 3-year-old son (born during Jonathan’s transformation administration) screams ‘up, NEPA’ when PHCN restores power, I cringe and wonder if such legacies of monumental failure should be transferred to such infant generation. On the one hand, the government is celebrating an unprecedented increment in the megawatts being generated. The same government, on the other hand, has increased the budget for (Aso Rock) generator diesel from 34 million naira in 2014 to 36 million naira in 2015. What other proof do we need to be certain that electricity supply will not be stable in 2015? The undeniable truth, if we are frank enough to set aside our ethnic and religious sentiments, is that we are all victims of this incorrigibly corrupt system which enriches few cronies/associates and impoverishes the poor.
