    WE NEED LIGHT

    By edwinaija  |  Posted November 2, 2009  |  Portharcourt, Nigeria
     

      Government's inability to generate electric power has turned most Nigerian cities to  ghost cities,as dark as anything you can think of,worst hit are people whose means livelihood largely depend on electricity.  For life to continue,people resort to alternative power supply ,ie using generator sets.Private home owners have also joined pattern in order to make life worth while .Every neighborhood is now filled with noise and fumes from all these power generating sets.   The implication of this trend is enormous due to health challenges it  pose.Nigerian government should stop beating about the bush and do something to save our lives or else they will govern corpses of Nigerians.
