RE: No electricity or coms for 24 hours in the entire town - another day in Africa

in #steemsa5 years ago

It's funny how you're depicting this as a disaster but to me, it is just another day in my life. Electricity and communication are luxuries around here(Mando, Kaduna, Nigeria).
I get 6 hours of electricity daily and shitty 4G or slightly manageable 3G network that's expensive as fuck.

Sort:  

That's hectic bro, we only get power cuts daily now for 2x2 hours, scheduled systematically town by town. So we are ok for 20 hours a day. The 24 hour break was an extra once-off on top of the usual cuts. Nigeria my brother, we are the two top economies on the continent, and yet we both have daily power cuts. Only 6 hours a day is too hectic man. And I believe the cell phone data providers are screwing us in Africa with the most expensive fees in the world.
