So NEPA's guys came around to our neighbourhood on Friday.
Seems they wanted to disconnect people who hadn't paid them in a while.
Nothing too unusual there, except that they had not brought a bill to our area
since January.
Now Madam Okada has gone to great lengths to end nonsense with NEPA but she was at work.
As she has a history of getting quite put out when messed around by NEPA officials I decided to do my bit for world peace. I put her on the the phone with the bright young man with the pliers.
He didn't seem to get a lot of space in the conversation but at least a few "Madam you didn't need to take it that far........ Come to the office on Monday with your documents" later and he seemed very happy to pack away his ladder and go.
We got about 40 minutes of electricity on Saturday evening so it must have been worth all the drama

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 ).
