WOULD ELECTRICITY REALLY GET BETTER IN NIGERIA?

Are you familiar with the term "One day off and two days on of Electricity"? Then, you are most likely Nigerian..... BUT it looks like there will be respite for our souls.

The Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), recently unbundled into 18 companies and it appears that before the government's invitation for prospective private sector bids, the Manufacturing association of Nigeria (MAN) is prepared to acquire the company.

Over the years, power has been a major problem of the manufacturing sector of Nigeria. A lot of prospective Manufacturers decided against having their plants in the country because of the high cost of generating electricity. As a result of this, the MAN has decided to to take advantage of the on going reforms and proposed privatisation to establish an Independent Power Plant. MAN has therefore decided that they will bid for the company at the appropriate time.

Some people think its just one of those white elephant projects that will not see the light of day.I think Electricity will definitely get better, what!? With the card thing already going on in some areas. It is Pay as you go....


But really what do you think?

A thankful heart The weekend of the 10th October was thanksgiving in Canada - my first. The Canadian thanksgiving can be termed a harvest festival because it is a day that has been set aside to give thanks to God for a bountiful harvest.

He did not succeed but he established a settlement in Northern America. In the year 1578, he held a formal ceremony, in Newfoundland, to give thanks for surviving the long journey. As human beigns we could forget to be thankful everyday for the seemingly little things in our lives and in the lives of people around us. So, I decided to be thankful for all around me... I am thankful for: The gift of life - seeing, breathing, touching, walking etc The gift of love from family, friends and a wonderful husband The ability to think The ability to type, write, read etc Te

What!!! Is it all about??? What exactly is the purpose of life? What are we here for? Should we just do whatever we feel like or do we decide what we want to do or is there a specific purpose / plan for each single life? Do we decide to do no harm and help as many people as possible especially those "less fortunate" along this journey of life? Do you ever wonder when God answers prayers? Is it when it is according to His will? If prayers are answered when it is according to His will, so why do we have to ask at all? Ok, because He said we should.... So how do we know when what is according to His will? So, if we ask for something over and over like the woman that pestered the judge and we don't seem to get an answer, is it an indication that what we ask is not according to His will or does it just mean that it is not the right time for the particular thing we asked for? So many, too many questions plague my mind from time to time.. Sometimes, I ask what it is all about? I
