The Electricity saga in Liberia is in an incredibly shocking condition. This Draw back affects students like myself who is studying technology. Finding power at home to do simple task like soldering practice is unthinkable. People rely heavily on small portable gasoline generators commonly known as Tiger from its brand name.

The above photo was taken in the Pipeline Community just outside Monrovia. This deserted light pole is suppose to serve the surrounding houses but, it stands there without power. There are thousands of this kind of light poles in community in and around Monrovia in this same kind of condition - unnoticed.

Even though the government is setting up power stations around, they are serving business centers and houses close to the road thus leaving residence just a couple of meters from the main road in total darkness.

Like I said before this situation is very bad for technology student. For example, I have to go on campus for every simple task if I don't have money for gas for my Tiger.

We recognized the endless efforts exerted by the government, but much has to be done to improve the Electricity situation.
