PHCN: "They would soon take the light you will see"- Children

"They would soon take the light you will see". This is the exact word of a boy in an area in Lagos.
I chuckled when I heard this,then it happened, exactly three minutes after power was brought, there was outage.
I was seriously perplexed by this action of children: then I realised for them to have gotten to this conclusion, they must have experienced it, not less than once.
Then I reflected to when I was younger, then it was still NEPA, once power is supplied or released, we would scream 'Up NEPAaaaaaa"; ignoring what ever we were doing, no matter how important. Even if it's only radio your parent could afford, you don't care, or your neighbours TV, lols! #memories.
For this to have concluded to this, because I also remember some very low current power being supplied then, we would still try to use it, sometimes even burning the TV; then it must have happened at least five times, and of course severally in a day.
I was ashamed and sad, then I asked myself the same question I have been hearing people ask, which is better, the Power Authority or the Power Holders.
