Yesterday was not such a good day for electricity.
Zero.
Nada
Zilch
Our faithful generator has also been getting a bit fed up ..
So it decided to go on strike as well.
(The cap above the spark plug shook itself right off and gave the appearance of being quite kaput)
Cue our very good generator mechanic who came along in no time and just 800 Naira for parts later plus labour we’re back in business (unlike NEPA).
President Goodluck arrives in Port Harcourt today to commission a power station (its been commissioned a couple of times already but that’s another story)
I don’t know if they’re saving up our electricity for his visit but Mr & Mrs Okada are not impressed. However we’ll give NEPA and His Excellency a chance. If there’s electricity from NEPA we’ve resolved that we’ll watch his speeches on TV.
Somehow I don't think we'll be watching much tv

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 ).
