How the Petroleum Industry Reinforces Blackout in Nigeria.

                                                             By Ikechukwu A. Ogu

The following are incontrovertible facts about the Nigerian electricity sector: there is either no or epileptic electricity supply in about 90% of Nigerian homes and offices which, thus, depend on generators and spend fortunes fuelling same; Nigerians pay through the nose for electricity never supplied; the problem is more of Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN)'s penchant for denying Nigerians of electricity than the non-generation of  adequate megawatts of electricity; Nigeria supplies reliable electricity to some neighbouring countries while her citizens have blackout; the touted recent improvement in electricity supply by PHCN is untrue; and the periodic hike in electricity tariff by the government is regardless of these ugly facts and the plight of Nigerians.

Taking a clinical x-ray, morphology and anatomy of Nigeria political annals, chronicle and development right from First Republic to this contemporary, it becomes axiomatic and apparent that the demise of First Republic, Second Republic and Third Republics was as a result of kindergarten irresponsibility of Nigerian political elites. It is also painful that it seems as if the political class has not learnt anything from the past experience, this is because one would have expected that this Fourth Republic, the people who collected power from the military on May 29 1999 would have govern well, but today what we see is even worse than what we experienced in the past particularly in the hands of the military.

Nigerian leaders believe firmly that the citizens should genuflect before them every morning before our breakfast in acknowledgement of their superiority over us, they believe firmly that we deserve to go through hell before we can feed, they believe we ought to ask for their permission before we can go to bed without supper because we need their protection to survive till the following morning, to begin the same sickening routine all over again till we all quench and die.

When I got admission into one of the state owned universities in Nigeria, I was full of ecstasy because university is a place where one undergoes intellectual training that leads to utopia and prodigy as regards intellectual development in his or her area of specialization.

It was on the basis of this that I prioritized reading and in-depth research right from my embryo level (first year) in the university. Four months after, we wrote exams and in couple of weeks the result was released. The greatest surprise that threw many into unimaginable bewilderment was how those with intellectual amnesia (the non academic students) were those that made second class upper division and those who have intellectual dexterity and proficiency were found within the second class lower division and third class. This was a question which on the pursuit to unravel the mystery behind this pushed me to go into further probe of what some of the Nigerian lecturers do with student marks and grading of students at the end of every semester. What I found was so pathetic and pathological to any educational system in the world. On my feeling of dejected and crestfallen over this debacle happening which pushed me to intense investigation, I found that there is what is called plan "B" you may wish to ask what is plan "B"? Those of the students who have some of the lecturers as their conspirators and also serve as accomplice know what plan "B" means.

Why am I forced to ask why there was a revolution in Russia and also why revolution took place in Cuba?

The population explosion the Nigerian state is witnessing and the political class is doing nothing to manage this population outburst is the one the nation will not be able to handle in the shortest possible time. The local bourgeoisies have created artificial social inequality which they can no longer control. The aftermath of this is that in the struggle for survival, the masses will go at length to have a living as Karl Max said man must first of all eat and drink before he can pursue art or philosophy. The inherent contradiction between the local bourgeoisies in Nigeria and the miserable masses they have created will destroy the Nigerian state. The Nigerian political class does not exploit the Nigerian people they destroy the people and the people cannot continue this way and would want to break the chains of destruction which will inevitably lead to revolution.

The discovery of oil and natural gas are two leading factors that led to the uncontrollable corruption in Nigeria. Over the years, the citizens have seen their wealth withered and have nothing to show in living conditions of the majority of the populace. Obafemi Awolowo raised a salient issue when he said, since independence, our governments have been a matter of few holding the cow for the strongest and most cunning to milk, under those circumstances everybody runs over everybody to make good at the expense of others.
