Nollywood
actor Bob Manuel in an interview with Punch has said he would have high
blood pressure if he calculates the amount he spends on powering his
generator monthly.
The Interview below;
Do you also use generator like most Nigerians do?
Of course, I do, even more than most Nigerians. We have no choice due
to poor power supply in the country. I rely mostly on generator for my
power
needs.
For how many hours in a day do you enjoy government power supply in your area?
I cannot estimate that. Sometimes there is electricity today,
tomorrow there is none. It’s an on-and-off situation. Sometimes, there
will be no power for weeks and I often forget there’s anything called
government power supply. It’s just like what every other Nigerian
experiences.
How much do you spend on powering your generators per month?
I have stopped calculating the amount. It is painful. You can just
imagine if someone is spending just N1,000 per day to run a generator,
in a month, you would have spent N30,000. Many Nigerians spend more than
that per month. Personally, if I calculate what I spend on powering my
generators, I will develop high blood pressure. I don’t bother again.
What advice would you give Nigerians?
Take things in order of priority. Draw a scale of preference. Then,
to give a tip on saving fuel, when you turn on your generator, draw the
fuel pump valve to half way.
I have not really experimented it before, but I think it gives some
psychological feeling that you are saving some fuel. Let other Nigerians
try it and give me feedback.
