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 ).

We're Riiiich !!!!

.

Or at least that's what we thought when a helpful reader sent us this headline

PHCN (that's NEPA's new name) TO REFUND CUSTOMERS OVER POOR SERVICE

Top class headline

We've had poor service and we'd certainly take a refund

But sadly, reading the article here reveals that they are only interested in refunding you if they're ripped you off (overcharged) already.

I suppose that is progress on the attitude they've taken in the recent past (Mrs Okada might post soon on that one)

So no champagne for Mr and Mrs Okada

Nor it seems much electricity - zero hours Sunday and about 30 minutes so far today

Forget the cost, solar panels are looking very attractive right now.
