sorry, i dont know how to make a link. but there is not a space "03" and "15" so the link above does not work.

The link doesn't work even if one cuts and pastes, Boo. I think it's back to the drawing board on this one.

boo, I cut/pasted the link you gave and it doesn't work either. Maybe you made a typo in typing the URL?

I just did a search of the entire news archives at the EnergyOnLine site and there is only one article about Nigeria and that has nothing to do with title of the post.

In order to "plunge" into darkness you first must have had light. Nigeria, through fraud, corruption, and mismanagement has one of the most unreliable and troublesome power systems in the world. Almost every business in Nigeria has a generator and almost all private citizens with any money have one also. I spent five days in Lagos three years ago and the power went out a total of 22 times. Any time that the power remains on for more than 24 hours is considered the exception.

It's visits like these that make me appreciate the good old USofA.
