Good day, amazing people of the hive block chain. Welcome back to my blog. This is another edition of the #hivelearners community. Infrastructure is one of the basic things the government should provide for the citizens because it makes life comfortable for them.
Infrastructure has to do with an environmental structure that helps to advance that environment. The structure is not just a house or building; it could be a water structure, a tarred road structure, or any structure, but in the end, the environment is safer and more convenient for living. When there is good infrastructure, means of living will be very easy for the citizen.
During their political campaign, they will promise to provide us with good roads, good health centres, borehole water, and schools. If they win the election, they will not fulfil any of their promises.
Infrastructure has been the major problem we are facing in the country. All thanks go to my new governor, who is fixing some of the roads in my neighbourhood.
The major infrastructure issue that we are facing in my neighbourhood is a lack of power supply. This has to do with the power supply in my community. What is the meaning of power and power supply? This might need someone who is more detailed in the electric industry to give a detailed definition, but in my understanding, power supply has to do with producing lights and power for other electrical implements through the use of electricity.
Now, the absence of electricity has left us behind. What is the usefulness of electricity? It produces light. Which gives life to the environment and makes the environment more serene and comfortable for people to go through, other than walking in the dark where you could be bit by a snake along a bushy way or assaulted by a fellow individual. It also helps to pride energy for things like iron, through which one gets his dress ironed and looks more smart than a rough one.
Through the electric power system, other functions could be carried out, like saving gas, because through this we could power the hot plates and other means of cooking through the electric current. Charging of our phones, power banks, and laptops for working purposes.
Having established the very few uses of electricity in our domain and globally, what are the effects of not having this power supply?
Everyone tends to spend more due to the lack of these amenities. Spend more on fuel because we need to power things and need to make our environment more lively and safer, so a lack of this contributes to poverty among us because we carry and spend beyond what we should. Spending much goes beyond buying fuel because it also has to do with buying gas for cooking purposes and others.
When there was a consistent power supply, this saved us a whole lot; you would not need to bug someone or some persons because you needed help with charging, ironing, etc.
How have I been able to cope with this?
It is not easy at all to cope without a power supply in my neighbourhood, just like someone like me who can't go a day without her phone on. I am so addicted to my phone that I have to buy two power banks for myself since I can't afford a generator or solar. For now, since we have power supplies, I will charge my two power banks. It will serve me until the next time we see light. It really limits the things I do with my phone.
I just pray and hope that the government will do something about our power supply. It is really affecting me.
