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 ).

Your NEPA bill don come o

Finally - after many months of absence - a NEPA bill for the month of June.

Its for 13,000 Naira

Our last bill was in January.

What has happened to the intervening months ?

Its a mystery.

Less of a mystery is the 13k - almost all of it is arrears.

The same arrears Mrs Okada spent 2 days battling NEPA offices over in January before they agreed to rectify.

Quote for the day from Mrs O (as she departs for work)

"I am going to war!"

(Bonus item- NEPA accidentally delivered a neighbour's bill to us - N81,000. Seems they may have some issues also)
