Brown outs or Black outs?

Is the power rationing exercise still ongoing? Either my coping mechanisms are working very well for me or like everything else I cannot change I am Blacking the experience out of my mind.

• Thanks to the powers-that-be for the continuous power over the Xmas period. I am so used to the power being off that I stop hitting the lights switch in the evenings. I have memorized perfectly the layout of my house, the number of stairs and the eiree human like curtains that I can move around in pitch darkness. So when I drive down the road it never ceases to amaze me the recent generator purchases. Or is the power back on?

• Ask the people in East Legon and they will tell you the 5-day schedule does not matter. On the Brown out days either a couple of phases go off or the constant hourly on-and-off annoys you so much you decide to stay permanently in the Off phase. Revenge on ECG! You deprive them of getting you all agitated because of the unsteady power. Then on the Black out days you just resign yourself to the coping techniques already discussed.

• Will this end? Soon? Seems like Joy FM is no longer trashing this dead horse so everyone is resigned to this state of affairs for the long haul. The Association of Ghana Industries (AGI) is no longer touting the exorbitant cost of generating power for their industries so we all assume they will work it into their costs so that the consumer ends up paying for it. So the average Kojos end up feeling their way around their houses for lack of lights and then when the day comes around goes to purchase higher priced good because of higher prices of production??? Lets hope not.

• I must however concede that the switch to power outs only from 6pm - 6am every 5 days is bearable. Way bearable than the every 3 days alternating day or night if ECG is kind

Let there be lights!
