 There is a notion that if you go to New York City, London, Dubai, Beijing or any of the World's biggest capitals, then you have lived. There is also life in Arua (Lugbara capital); am grateful to GOD for peace and tarmac. I can sit in the grass and chill; boredom is a choice. Synthetic Happiness is deliberate elevation of mind; detached from conditional reality. Does Arua have electricity? Yes! West Nile Rural Electrification Company (WENRECo) headquartered on Rhino Camp Road was formed in 2003 to replace UEB and powered the locality from Osu Village near San Siro and Pangisa Ward at Aci Engine (with a noisy diesel generator-set later taken to Moyo). Supplemented by another plant in Ewuata on Nebbi Highway (which got four new generators in 2021 at the same time Uganda Airlines got Bombardier jets); WENRECo also supplied hydropower from Nyagak Dam in Zombo before West Nile was connected to the National Grid with power from the 600 MegaWatt Chinese-built Karuma Dam. When WENRECo started, it supplied 18 constant hours of power from 6am until midnight; more stable than the load-shedding in Kampala (Capital City of UG) though got issues that made locals protest for it to be disbanded, but still bounced back until they became the Best Brand in West Nile. You can also use off-grid solar electricity.
-While in KLA before Twenty13, I used to review tourism maps of Uganda (eg in Eye Magazine and so on) and find West Nile blank; not even Ajai was mentioned nor Pakwach Bridge, Salia Musala, various rivers besides Enyau, waterfalls, etc. So, I made it my business to do research. I hope Arua is mentioned somewhere annually as a (cultural, church, water or urban) tourism destination in the Pearl of Africa Tourism Expo.
