UP Nepa!

Ayokunle Adeleye Leave a comment
The National Electric Power Authority was apparently established in the era of Authorities: cf. Nigerian Television Authority, Nigerian Port Authority; and which other ones? And it has none left! No legacy either. One thing that NEPA is remembered for till tomorrow is the epilepsy, sometimes stroke, of power supply– a feature that has defiled President after President, even the shoeless one. And another has been… Read more

Surviving the times

Ayokunle Adeleye Leave a comment
Since deprivation has become something to be proud of by our elites, I suppose it is high time we talked about it. According to credible international studies, a stunning majority of my people live below the poverty line: US$1 per day. So that (falsely) identifying with the masses by laying questionable claims to childhood shoelessness enthroned one President, and may yet enthrone another if claiming… Read more

Lessons from Ife

Elsewhere, “the price of freedom is watchfulness”; back home, the price we pay to still be on this side of the here-and-now is fear. Legendarily, it is the fear of the future, the fear of the unknown; but in more recent times, there is likewise the fear of the law… For we are aware of the laws protecting us, our being, our freedoms, our respectedness;… Read more

As real as Sunlight detergent itself, and as real as Unilever Nigeria, that ogbonge company wey tanda for Agbara Industrial Estate, Agbara, Ogun State. Sunlight detergent Here’s how I know.… Read more

On Vested Interests

The NNPC sells kerosene at N50 per litre. Only the NNPC doesn’t sell kerosene. Frequent visits to their (two) distribution stations (in my area) leave you wondering why the hell they advertise a product that is never available, and why the heck it is proclaimed for nearly a third of the actual purchase price; last time I bought the DPK, it was at N135 per… Read more

When the Customer Is ALWAYS Right. PART I: ETISALAT NIGERIA

Ayokunle Adeleye Leave a comment
I loved Etisalat. In fact, at a time when Nigerians have mastered the art of subscribing to multiple networks so as to buffer one with the other, i have become strictly Etisalat, buying SIM after SIM from the same network provider. Believing ?wrongly and ruefully that I was being ‘Naija for life’, and flaunting my network like nothing else mattered. Well, until they too showed… Read more
