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 ).

Customer of little faith

Well madam's crossed fingers worked and Mr Okada is a man of undue pessimism.

We got about 3 hours of electricity last night.

That's three times this week there has been electricity in the evening (for a while)

Can't remember the last time that happened.

So we're watching dodgy (pirated) DVDs and reading books from this lot. We can particularly recommend "Imagine this" by Sade Adeniran

Today is much more normal - strictly natural solar lighting- so lets see what the next week brings.
