I arrived Makurdi, Benue State two days back. The city is very clean and the people are very friendly. One major problem here is that there is no electricity. The Electric company only supply light at night. The lack of electricity is really having a major effect on the economy of the State. Food is abundance here and very cheap. I will be going back to my beautiful city of Benin in a few days. The saying of the Elders is that you will not value what you have until you see how others live. I can not imaging when last NEPA or PHCN blatantly take light for 14 hours straight for say two weeks. Na wao. The drive from Benin City to Makurdi took 8.5 hours. The road is great but the Otukpo area in under repairs. Beautiful scenery.
