Recently, the federal government of Nigeria was quoted in a
statement as saying 30 MILLION Nigerians
are still living in DARKNESS. This
is an understatement as most of you would agree. Personally, I find the
statement rather fraudulent not only in numbers but also in degree based on
what we average Nigerians have to go through on a daily basis all through these
years. It would have sufficed to say over 100
HUNDRED MILLION Nigerians are still living in BONDAGE.
B in BONDAGE stands for BILLS: Whether we use power for up to12 hours of the day or not; or
whether at all through out the day, week or month, we Nigerians have the
obligation to pay PHCN monthly bills.
O stands for OFF & ON: With the continuous off
& on system of PHCN, a lot of damage has been done to our electronic
appliances and sometimes it has triggered off fire accidents leading to loss of
lives and property.
N stands for NOISE POLLUTION: Noise buzzing out from
generators especially at night from around the neighborhood is causing more
than enough headache for most of us.
This is -BON- the
first syllable of the word. Watch out for -DAGE-
the second syllable in upcoming posts.
