I was cooking something yesterday night. I went and sat somewhere to rest my back, thinking that the food will soon be ready, after some few minutes, I decided to go check on my food. Then I realized that the food was not boiling at all.
I looked below to check if there was still fire and realized that the fire had gone off. This was about 9:00pm. I prayed for power holding company to bring back the light which they had taken a long time ago so I could continue my cooking with the electric cooker, but it was as of I was wasting my time.
Hunger began to deal with me in the stomach. I went and sat somewhere and thought of how the gas filling shops might have closed by that time because it was already late at night.
Later on, it felt as if my prayer had been answered and the power holding company brought back electricity. It felt like I was dreaming, because the light had been taken away for a long time. I quickly rushed to put on the electric cooker and once I was done, I placed my food on fire.
We didn't count up to ten minutes and the electricity was put out again. My food had not even cooked properly and yet the light had gone off. This was the challenge with my developing country because I am dreaming of when everything will be regulated properly in my country.
One literally has to struggle for everything. Even if I had firewood in the house would I be able to make them at that time of the night. The answer is no. I prayed for my food not to get spoilt or get soured. I had to take cassava flakes again at night in order to sleep. This morning I went and filled my gas and this is what my food turned out to be.
What my food looked like.
