The Wahala Of Electricity Supply

Up Nepaaaa? The children in my area or even my nieces don’t even shout that anymore because to be sincere they’re one of the set of people in this country that needs to be sanctioned, in my area we have two different categories of power supply one is definitely for the rich kids while the other is for the normal people, in one of my previous posts I wrote a little about the light in my area, the one for the rich kids is the one from high tension and according to them its called 33kv while the one we use is called 11kv.

The light in area where I live is quite steady in the sense that we don’t have days off, we usually have light everyday except for the times that they don’t just want to give us at all, and at night we normally use it till the next day, the night light has been a routine for since this year started and in the afternoons they normally have light for like 3-4 hours.
And to be honest though, my area’s transformer has never been stolen since we moved to that area, but something inside the transformer has beeen stolen before and sometime ago we heard about the transformer blowing up, thankfully we’ve got some really wealthy men in my area so the light gets fixed instantly or within few days.

But this privilege isn’t applied to everywhere, where our is located is just a few distance away, that place always have light issues, if the transfer doesn’t explode, sometimes the wires catch fire or something is being stolen from the transformer, recently something from the transformer was stolen thats worth millions naira, they had to start contributing money so that they could buy whatever was stolen from the transformer, so many peole refused to pay, somehow they managed to fix the transformer but today I over heard the light committee chairman telling another man that they’re going to take down the light of people that has refused to pay on Saturday.
