Around this time last year, I owed NEPA some thirty thousand naira; today, NEPA owes me some twenty-five hundred. Funny, eh? As at when I owed thirty grand, my neighbours prided themselves as the rich ones, and insisted that NEPA cut our light at the meter points (so they could retain their connections while I lost mine). One even scorned me the month I paid three out of thirty, she stood in the street and argued that I mustn't be spared. I came back to meet me disconnected. Well, she owes just as much now, a year later.
