That's how many units of (NEPA provided) electricity we've consumed between 7th January and 5th May.
148 Units ( @ 6 Naira each) = That's 888 Naira worth in 4 months !!!!
[If you're wondering 888 Naira is $5.92 or $1.48 per month ]
You can probably guess we're not pleased.
In our case, President Goodluck Jonathan GCON [all praise to God etc etc] has a very low baseline for making an improvement in our electric lives.
The President was due to visit here last week (but cancelled obviously). When he reschedules could someone please tell him to bring some spare candles just in case.

Yes its our NEPA meter - how much power will it get ?
Welcome to Our Live Blog of power supply in this Niger delta
Sitting in our little 2 bedroom flat, listening to the thrum of the generator, Mr and Mrs Okada decided to give a live account of power improvements (and declines) in our neighbourhood.
We have been inspired by the sight of 3 successive Presidents promising us more electricity. This time we intend to help by providing live data from the field. We'll innovate, gyrate, and create. Soon we hope (with your assistance) will be a luck-o meter where we can measure how much things have really improved.
Its a survey of one, but we hope you'll share your stories, that NEPA will bring light and that laughter will at least abound.
If you really like the look of this little diary you may want to try reading from the bottom to the top.
(we still haven't figured out how to get blogger to keep our first entries at the top of the page and let you read through from the beginning ).
