NEPA (Nigerian Electric Power Authority)… ugh!!!

NEPA, Electric power, has been virtually non existent so far on our trip now 6 days in. It has been much worse than either of our previous trips and everyone is baffled. One story is that there is major road construction around JETS and the problem is moving the power lines… not likely since he power outages are city wide. Another theory is the NEPA is selling its power to the country of Niger at a higher rate than it can get in Nigeria.

Whatever the case, there is little to no power.

As you sit in your homes on your computer reading this… be thankful for the electricity you have … it is not the same around the world.
