BEING A NIGERIAN ~ Mide

When you stay in an environment where the citizens (mostly landlords) are useless, then you have to take on some stuffs that are not yours.

I wonder how people build houses without drainages and they don't even bother to grade the road. Instead, they buy SUVs with customized plate numbers, they construct their soak-aways outside their fences, on the main road where drainages should be and they build prison mimicking fences.

See, I don't have issues with people putting on pseudo-wealthy lifestyle even when they can't afford the real lifestyle. It's your problem not mine but when you are a landlord and you are just visibly useless, I have a big issue with that.

Once, I have had cause to petition the whole landlords association. People just think I'm troublesome and that is not true.

For three days, we have not had light. The PHCN office is just 5minutes drives to the street and over 100houses are affected and nobody took the bull by the horn to report this.

I had to beg hubby to do the reporting 3days ago and despite the assurance from the PHCN guys, they refused to rectify it.

This night, I couldn't bear it again. I had to drive down to the PHCN office. We were there at the transformer point till almost 9pm.

Issues resolved. Electricity restored and I could hear Up Nepa everywhere.  Up Nepa when my son I had picked from school since afternoon have not eaten anything, up Nepa when I had to part with some change to appreciate these Nepa guys.

Home, tired and practically useless. I asked again, when will Nigeria work?

Lemme use this light now that I have it.

Frustrated Nigerian!!!
