| The Notorious Yellow |
NOTORIOUS YELLOW by Oluwasegun Abifarin
This man is a PHCN staff at the Ifo, Ogun state office, under the Ota Business District of the Ibadan Distribution Company, DISCO. The Ifo PHCN Center oversees Ifo Local Government, including Ayede, where I live. This man, simply known as Yellow, has become a pestilence and a principality to PHCN customers in this area. For more than one week, we have been without power supply in my area, and after the usual complaint at the PHCN office, the manager told us that we either solve the problem ourselves or wait till when NEPA (sorry, PHCN) will be ready.After one week, we stopped waiting and decided to solve the problem. The community contributed about N250,000 to buy the accessories and paid the local engineers to fix them. Then on Sunday, it was the turn of Yellow to come and put the new fuse that we also bought for power to come up. After a game of waiting, Yellow surfaced around 5p.m and first pretended to be in a hurry..After some plea, he demanded that beer must be bought for him. He was obliged...and after putting the fuse..a job that did not take 3 minutes...he demanded we give him N5,000 for a job that he is being paid to do by his company...Despite my lone protest, he was given...but became jittery when he realised I took his photograpy..He left the scene with a flit of anger..And five minutes after light came up, it went off again...and we have returned to darkness since then..
Who will save us from this 'Yellow Fever'
I just hope this will get to Dr. Sam Amadi, Chairman, Elecrticity Regulation Commission and management of Ibadan Disco....
This is just the begining...
