It is quite glaring that previous democratic
governments paid lip service to the blackout condition of the nation.
There effort to solve the problem were only on the pages of news papers.
While they gave saboteurs free hands to continue to hold the country
to ransom.
Definitely, the alleged billions of naira expended in
the power sector by previous governments was false. The power sector was
one of the numerous avenues to loot the nation's treachery. Just
ordinary body language of the new president and everybody is sitting
right. It is no longer business as usual. The fear of their licenses
being revoked has put wisdom into their heads. They now know where the
problem lies and the solution to it. And past governments claimed that
even if the entire budget of the nation was expended on power, it will
never work.
It is only now that we can think of gathering our
generators and sending it to other countries where it is needed. The
rate at which we are going, I think the days of generators are numbered
in this country. The use of generators............. so crude and
abnormal. I wonder how strangers from advance countries look at us.
Everybody generating their own electricity? Damn! Immediately they see a
society that is not working. The health hazard the use of generators
poses on us is unthinkable. Noise and air pollution has caused serve
health conditions to many.
Now money expended on buying, fueling
and maintenance of generators can be used for something else. What a
huge relief for all of us! The presence of light overthrows the
darkness. We have been in the dark all this while, courtesy our past
leaders. Peoples eyes are open now that yes electricity supply can
actually work in the country.
Industries and businesses that are
power driven can thrive now and record a good profit margin. Dead
companies are thinking of coming back to life. Investors are willing to
come into the country to invest. A rapid boost in the nation's economy
is noticed. Poverty and unemployment would soon be a thing of the past.
These are but a few dividend of constant supply of electricity. A nation
with constant and steady supply of electricity will surely become
industrialized in a short while. That should be the target of every
right thinking Nigeria. The government alone can't achieve this without
our support. All hands must be on deck for the actualization of this
vision.
Not forgetting individuals, companies and businesses that
boomed during the dark days of total blackout in the country. I mean
generator manufacturers, generator dealers, generator mechanics, filling
stations e.t.c. Electricity supply opens doors for new and more
profitable business opportunities. So those who are aggrieved(Yeah, some
are actually aggrieved! They never wanted electricity to work out) by
this new development in the country should start thinking of
diversifying into something else.
