7 NEPA Struggles Every Nigerian Has Experienced

Every Nigerian has a love-hate relationship with NEPA. or rather PHCN. They are the third most cussed out group in Naija. Just after politicians and the police force. And we have no choice but to live with it. The low currents, the crazy bills and the “playing with our emotions” are all part and parcel of the Nigerian experience. I bet you have experienced the following NEPA wahala:

1. Flashing Light like telephone call NEPA just loves playing with our emotions. Chai! After 2 months and 3 flashes in 1 hour. Odabo for another 1 month! 2. No light for months but bills be steadily appearing How?! How can you pay for a service you’re not using? 3. When they bring low current after many months
4. You want to iron your clothes and NEPA takes light I swear NEPA has a way of timing this “scenario”. Always. And you’d be wondering why you didn’t iron earlier. 5. How your house looks when your generator is ON Unofficial light bringer. Charging hub 6. When NEPA brings light just as it is about to rain
This is probably the first and last time you’ll see the light in weeks. 7. The moment when you guys beat the NEPA man trying to cut your light These NEPA men “buru gaan”. You won’t bring light, you will be bringing bill upandan. And they will still want to cut your wire. Chop your beating in peace oh jare!
