This PHCN, IKEDC I Mean

Anger is not a bad thing in itself, its what happens as a result of it that can either be good or Bad.

It's just like any other day. I step out of my compound and I notice the PHCN officials oh sorry IKEDC officials disconnecting power down the street.
I think to myself thank God I've paid my bill.

A  while later they mount their ladder on our pole, I go to them with my payment evidence and are discussing the non reflection of these payments on the bill. While I am still speaking my power is disconnected. I stand there and I'm asking why I'm being disconnected and they begin to smile within themselves and come to the office.

Why are you disconnecting me I ask they refer me to their supervisor. I reiterate my story and he says I should come to the office with evidence of these payments and non reflection.

At this point in enraged! Why come to your office when I've been disconnected without reason.

In this scenario an exchange of money would have resolved the issue as would have been done by others if I wasn't the one handling the situation.

Why do we love to trouble one another so much that people feel pressured to give a bribe to get out of a situation

I was so angry : I could have......???
This is me rechanneling my anger

What are the regulations about disconnection and does this scenario fit it. Was I within my right to demand not to be disconnected till the issue could be resolved.
This is my resolve we are the real problem in society would I ask President Mohammadu Buhari to come and change the behaviour in this situation. Let us look within and be the change we desire.

This PHCN Officials sef, sorry IKEDC officials.
