Happenings

There are a lot of things currently going on in my country which I am not happy about. There are also certain things I am facing in school and the workload is getting too much for me. The stress is beyond this world. Recently there has been a shortage in fuel supply, reduced power supply and a rise in temperature causing a heat wave, all of this happening exactly at the same time.

This could all be a mere coincidence but it isn't a good one. How could all of this happen/occur at the same time. It is already getting too much and increasingly difficult to handle. Honestly, at some point I wondered how I found myself in such a country as this. That they have little or no regard for the welfare of their citizens. It is quite unfortunate.

You begin to wonder who is in charge if all of this can happen. Why exactly do we have a government in place or is it that the system isn't functioning. Clearly the system isn't working because all of this is not supposed to happen especially at the same time. If you are looking to play the blame game it wouldn't work because no one is ready to take responsibility. Always shifting the blame from one person to another or from one organization to another. This system needs a total overhauling.

You might be thinking why does this guy care so much about all of this, it's because it is that bad. The weather is exceptionally hot, there is no light to turn on the fan or A.C. and there is no fuel to turn on the generator. You can now see how frustrating it is.

We can't do anything about the weather since it is nature. Electricity supply is not consistent but at least they bring for a substantial amount of time but now they don't bring it at all. It's like they've decided not to supply us electricity. This is bad as power is in high demand. People need it for various important reasons. For any city to function or grow it needs a constant energy supply.

Okay then, at least we will buy fuel and turn on our generator since this is not the first time of them disappointing us but no there is fuel scarcity. This is definitely the last straw that broke the camel's back. The fact that they could not give us power and at the same time not give us fuel was really beyond me. This just goes to show their level of incompetence.

It is really sad the situation we have gotten ourselves into as a country. Where other places including our neighbors get constant power supply we on the other hand have to beg and plead with them to give us light even if it is just for an hour. A lot businesses need energy to function especially the ones in the agriculture and food sector. Families that buy perishable foods in large amounts because of the fluctuating prices of goods and store in their freezer will be worried about it spoiling. This will lead to massive wastage. Businesses that also required for their day to day running might just have to close shop.

This article has unfortunately turned into a rant about how bad things are currently. I just had it really bad last week and I need somewhere to vent. I haven't been able to sleep well in the night because of the heat and it has greatly affected my productivity. I can barely achieve anything during the day. This comes at a particularly bad time when I need to be serious because my academic work is already piling up. I need to be in the best shape both physically and mentally but this current situation isn't making that possible.

The light has become better recently and I think the problems are getting solved little by little after a large portion of the population complained. The fuel scarcity is still persistent and it doesn't look like it's going to end anytime soon. Looks like importing bad fuel into the country caused a lot of problems. It has greatly affected the supply chain and demand has surged.

Things need to get better in this country because we cannot continue like this.
