These NEPA people came this morning and cut the power without warning — no message, nothing — and I had three orders due by evening. My generator fuel is already N8,000 per litre and I cannot keep throwing money at their incompetence. I sat there watching my girls sit idle while the machines stayed dead, and every hour that passes is money I am not making and promises I am breaking to customers who already trust me less because the last tailor disappointed them. People in Ikoyi and Victoria Island do not know this problem — their inverters are humming, their lives continue. But here in my own country, in Lagos, I am competing with power cuts instead of competing with other tailors. How are we supposed to build anything when the foundation keeps collapsing?
