Hmmmm
I passed through Ore last December on my way to Warri. You are right in your analysis. I feel also that there are more temporary passers by than permanent investors in terms of travelers. Travelers do a lot of stop over there and this would have improved the look of Ore if they actually stayed longer but as it is, they are travelers with a destination in mind.
Apologies for the poor electricity in your area. I gave up on dependence on power supply in Nigeria long ago when I had to set up a solar/inverter in my family house (parents and my younger sister told me she cannot live in any house without power supply after she enjoyed the 24/7 power supply) and I am currently on MTN solar though I won't advise you go for it as it is a terrible power plan though serving me partially.
I will advise you go for alternate power supply, it may be inconveniencing but it will be worth it. And be wise when making your choice too. Some do not last. Options are powerbanks (including solar powered), solar/inverter etc.
And this is Nigeria, the contractor receives peanut after being awarded a huge contract and because of many mouths to feed in terms of bribed and he also has to enjoy his own lump share, he does a half job and runs away. One of the voices you have is your vote.
Good morning and thank you for your write up
