You know its bad enough that you woke up one morning with a swollen eye and have to go through the days rough activities ignoring all the pain and disfigured look. You leave your house in the morning and turn off all lights and fan to avoid the unknown happening in your absence and then you have to face streSs of getting stuck in traffic on your back. Seeing the bright lights, especially from that Mallams shop whom you are so sure of does not have a generator, you smile to yourself and wish the bikeman could as well fly just so you can catch up with the before NEPA carries it. But just before the bike stops at your gate, the street suddenly goes black. You hiss and curse as you reluctantly pay the man his money. You get into your house, fuming more as you try to rest your head and your swollen eye a while before having your bath. But the day has really been rough and so you sleep off, waking up in betwEen minutes to wipe off sweats and blow yourself with your CD pack...still hissing and cursing and blowing and sleeping all at once, your neigbour and friend comes knocking at your door. You cover your head with your pillow, carefully, for it might your bad eye might get rubbed. But the knock is persistent. So you drag yourself out of the bed covered in sweat to the door. What is it?, you ask your neighbour with such accusing eye. Wetin do your light?, he asks as he comes in. You give a long hiss. To think this foolish guy had disrupted the tiny peace you are trying to have for such foolish question! Angrily, you blot, I de work for NEPA? Ahn ahn, but light de na. Dem don bring am. As they take am, na him de bring am sharp sharp, he explains. And then you almost hit your swollen eye. Remembering that you had turned off all your lights in the early hours of that day. Like a humble fool, you walk quietly to the switchs, turn them on, move to your standing fan, put it on, then plug your phone to get some charge. With a smile, you turn to your neighbour to show gratitude and apology for an unknown offence and just as you open your mouth, the light goes off! Gbam! See gobe! You just wanna choke the life out of your useless neighbour! Who send am message? #plight of a Nigerian youth
