Electricity!!!
When I moved to the area I'm living now last year we use to have light everyday and sometimes midnight. It's was smooth and there was no problem until when the transformer spoilt and we did not have light for like three weeks. It was so annoying. There was no light and no water too.

Electricity is very important because it works with different things,when there's no light,no way to bump water here o, so, we no dey get water. That period we had to go outside to fetch water. For three weeks it was crazy tho. At a point we hired someone to come and fetch water for us and we paid him. The money we paid the guy is more than the money we use to buy voltage.
We spent a lot before the transformer was repaired. The petrol wasn't left out.

The moment Nepa starts to do rubbish I become unhappy because I'm always thinking of what to do if they dont bring the light. I don't like to buy petrol, petrol is expensive now and it doesn't last long. Imagine the last time nepa show us shege,i waited for two days thinking they will bring the light because I don't want to buy petrol for my gen. Hmmm I wait wait tayad they didn't bring the light o. I ended up buying petrol of 2,000 and it lasted for 2hrs 30mins.

At times, the other part of the street will have light and we won't have light. Omo it is always annoying, but we don't have anything to do about it. Nepaaaa. When they are doing good we are always happy all of a sudden they will just switch and we won't have light for 2 days that's if the transformer didn't spoil. So, we do except the unexpected in my area. It's like football anything can happen. Anytime we see the light we use it ASAP because we don't know what will happen the next minute.

Electricity distributors in Nigeria are very funny people, consistency is not in their dictionary. Thank God for prepaid, at least now we don't have to pay for power supply that wasn't used.
