Next time the power goes out, check your mobile phone. Chances are the cellular phone networks will still be operating despite a nationwide blackout.

This article let me realize that we are in fact comparable to other African countries, it's sad that our infrastructure isn't being looked after and is on it's way to becoming like other African countries! It's the little things I've been noticing apart from black-outs the roads look worse (pot holes everywhere) and our roads are overcrowded. Let's not even compare telecoms.
