The Generator That Knew Too Much
Musa’s hostel in Jos had one rule: NEPA would take light at 7pm sharp. Every. Single. Day.
But their generator? It had a mind of its own. Old, noisy, and somehow... smart.
Monday it refused to start until someone shouted “Up NEPA!”
Tuesday it only ran if you fed it exactly 2 liters of fuel — not 1.9, not 2.1.
Wednesday it shut down the moment someone tried to watch football. “Read your book,” it seemed to say.
By Friday, the whole hostel was convinced the generator was sentient.
That night Musa decided to test it. He plugged in just one thing: his phone charger. The generator hummed, then typed on his phone screen through the charging port:
`CHARGE ME WITH GOOD GRADES FIRST.`
Musa screamed. The generator went silent.
Next morning, NEPA restored light at 6am. First time in 2 years.
The generator never spoke again... but Musa’s CGPA went from 2.1 to 4.2 that semester.
Coincidence? The hostel still doesn’t know.
