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 )

2 sets of wash

Aha, there was about 3 hours of electricity from NEPA last night after a few days of dark ages. Madam was happy because she was able to do two sets of wash; which is a novelty nowadays. There was also a radio show this morning, the Finance Executive was asked why people receive estimated bills. His answer was that all over the world estimated bills are given and then they are rectified when meter is read. True; but do they ever come to read the meter? Even when I take my log they still do not rectify the billing.

Oh! they did not bring May bill again, so I will not know if my complaint has been rectified. Keeping my fingers crossed that said bill will arrive today.
