No light all night last night...

I woke up by 6:31am this morning pretty upset and jumped off my bed with a resolve to be ready in 30 minutes and literally run out of the house to head to work. Root cause of my anger was the sound of generators in the compound! Gosh!!!! This country can be exasperating! As if it wasn't hard enough that i had to sleep without AC or fan, i had to contend with the sound of buzzing generators. Its as though my eardrums were set to explode. I was so upset a part of me inside wished all the generators would just suddenly switch OFF automatically and not come ON again. I don't blame the owners of the generators, i blame our government that has made no effort to come up with a lasting solution to solve the problem of power supply in this country.

I'm sure Nigerians are immune to the sound of generators considering they are ON at least 12hours in 24hours. What a pity! No wonder the cost of living here is not cheap and can never be cheap until we have a basic amenity such as power. What baffles me the most about our leaders is the lack of concern or complacency they have about the situation of things here even after touring the western countries?! Even Ghana has 24hours light, i can attest to that from the 4days i spent in Ghana this year. 9ja, where does your pride lie? Giant of Africa my foot! Wake up!! In fact its so bad here you'll most likely be greeted by a blackout in the International Airport, one of our many ways of saying "Welcome to 9ja". Our leaders have standby sound-proof generators so how will they know what it feels like to sweat out of no light all night, or to have your sleep cut short because your ears wont stop ringing! As for the likes of Mikano, Marapco and Caterpillar, lets not even go into the amount of wealth they've amassed in this country courtesy of selling generators. I'm sure the politicians are shareholders if not the owners of these companies.

If i swear for them, walahi it'll catch up with them... hisssss......... Now i'm at work feeling terribly sleepy with a stuffed head and my ears still trying to recover from the buzz.

When will this country's story change? When?....
