The #lightupnigeria campaign - to the best of my knowledge - began a few days ago when eLDee (the artiste) almost lost a relative in a hospital during childbirth. He then put up a tweet on how the lack of electricity led to an increase in maternal/infant mortality.
From there, events have snowballed with people expressing their similar disgust at the crippling effects of power cuts, some of which you have so beautifully illustrated here.
As I type this, the awareness still blossoms on Twitter... Let's go there and #lightupnigeria!!!
The revolution shall not be violent but a change can and will come if we stand and do not waiver in our drive to once and for all #lightupnigeria for our generation and not just our children's generation.
#lightupnigeria! I'm so proud of what is going on with the campaign! I encourage everyone to support the movement, sign the petition on their website, www.lightupnigeria.com! check out local or any programs going on in support of this campaign on the website or on FB/twitter #lightupnigeria.

Where did the logo you're using on your twitter come from? I think it could/should be our logo as we campaign to #lightupnigeria!
