Are you from Edo State? Are you coming home for the Christmas
and New Year Holidays? If yes, then read this painful advice from
me.
(1) Please come along with a generating set. For over 60 days,
major cities in Edo State including Benin City, have been facing
the worst, horrifying and deliberate darkness and power failure
since 1951!!! Petrol Generators are the preferred choice of many as
it is mobile and cheaper to run. Diesel engines are out! Cost of
diesel is too high.

(2) Don’t drive into town in expensive cars. If you decides to
board public transport, and intends to pass through Benin- Lagos
Road, Abuja-Benin Road,and Efon – Benin Road, look for your most
ill fitting and horrible dress and put it on! Look pitiable and
poor. There is no arrogance in Heaven. Ensure no make up and
expensive ear rings!!!

(3) If you have a large Family, break them up into batches and
make sure you all travel in separate vehicles. Only survivors take
care of victims!!!

(4) If possible, post your mobile phones ahead of you!! They
cost and cause more problems at times like this.

(5) When you finally arrive home, don’t go painting your house ,
or family house . Ugliest the better. It’s a survival strategy.

(6) Immediately store these numbers on your phones: 08077773721,
08037646272 and 08067551618 . They are ( or used to) emergency
police numbers.

(7) Anytime you go out to attend social event,make sure you are
back home before 7:00pm and ensure to watch local television
channels. You will be sufficiently entertained by local politicians
as they promise heaven and earth, but can’t fix the unprecedented
darkness around them.

(8) If you have money, don’t be greedy: fly to Benin Airport In
Peace and check into any of the major hotels in GRA, especially
those that confidently advertise the sizes of their generators,
colors of toilets, number of security guards and food in billboards
in front of their hotels. The only drawback is that, arising from
running diesel cost, expect a complete shutdown of generator by
midnight: they want you to sleep peacefully.

(9) Ensure you or your kids don’t fall sick. It is very
dangerous a decision. The few good doctors are going on holiday
too.

(10) If you drink. Check where you buy your drinks . This is the
headquarter of fake and substandard “ hot” drinks and not Lagos.
Regulation is poor.

Merry Christmas
