Darkness returns as Discos ‘honeymoon’ ends.

The relative stability in power supply that greeted the emergence of the Buhari administration can now be seen as an illusory appetizer.
The supply was so deceptively regular that everyone thought the long-awaited end to Nigeria’s eternal darkness had finally arrived.  The honeymoon with the power distribution companies (Discos) has ended.
Darkness has since returned to Africa’s largest economy.  In some communities power supply is worst than what happened in the dark days of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN).

No one is offering any explanations for the return of darkness.  Pipeline vandalisation that used to truncate the supply of gas to the power stations has reduced drastically.  The droughts that used to be blamed for the low output from the hydro power plants have given way to torrential downpours that have flooded some cities in northern Nigeria.
From all indications, the darkness might have been conjured to compel consumers to believe that the power stability of the last three months could only be sustained by high tariff.
