In the late 1950’s, there lived a family in a small village in the eastern part of Nigeria. The community was peaceful, good water supply, affordable foodstuffs but they lacked one basic thing….ELECTRICITY.
This particular issue which had gone on for the past two years due to a faulty transformer did not bring the happiness of the Eze’s family to the fullest. It was frustrating living in a house with ten bulbs yet no electricity to power them. A standby generator would have been an alternative but this was the era when the then president banned the importation of generators.
The marriage of Adaora, the first daughter of Eze was coming up and she vowed she was going to find a solution to this perpetual darkness before the d-day.
After making enquiries, she was told to send for Mr Mike Ebenezer. Mr Mike was renowned to be a world class electrical engineer with the ability to fix issues of electricity in split seconds. Arrangements were made for Mr Mike to arrive on Adaora’s marriage eve. At exactly 8pm, the entire family of Eze sat in their small living room anticipating the arrival of Mr Mike. Mr Mike drove into the dark compound few minutes later in his Range Rover. As he stepped into the living room, the triumphant cries of UP NEPA filled the room as Mr Mike flashed a smile.
It was revealed that teeth brushed with close-up toothpaste shines the brightest.
