ReplyDeleteGod Bless Everyone.
No light in my area for some days because of transformer wahala. This country is a mess.
ReplyDeleteCan't this country build windmills as an alternative source? Build more dams? There are plenty of windy deserts in the north, Or allow individuals generate their own power.
ReplyDeleteHmmmn. issokay
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to generating electricity via solar energy?
ReplyDelete@Bianca very correct, it's even more than a week in my area. Small time them go bring bill make we pay for wetin we no consume....
ReplyDeleteObviously, there's no light at the end of tunnel...
ReplyDeleteThere haven't been light in Victoria Island since 3 weeks now and my office has been using generator all these while. Na wa for naija o. When will it get better? When?
ReplyDeleteI dont expect to hear dis kinda tory during raining season. Naaah! This administration is nothing but a bad luck. Gosh!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd just yesterday a thought came o my mind. How would we cope should their be a total national blackout in this coubtry for say 1month. Lol..crazy thoughts
ReplyDeleteI wonder why that should even happen
My dear Nigerians will cope, it ain't new. Companies spend millions on diesel, and households spends thousands on fuel, so we have already adapted to having no light, so it is no news. The only thing that will be news is.... If they announce that there will be no interruption of power.
DeleteUnfortunately, there can never be such news as no power interruption. No be 9ja we De?...
DeleteWhy nah, for this holiday. Nepa ejor o, na Disney Junior they help us out.
ReplyDeleteMy area has been in darkness since November last year.
ReplyDeleteMy mum area always have light. .since i move to island with hubby i hardly see light here. Mum area be giving me life. If de tk the light 1hr its on till anoda 2 to 3days. Those single days dat i can watch season movies when am less busy

ReplyDeleteas if there has been light before sef.
ReplyDeletemtcheeeeew
Ah,our case is different from this oo,they have not taken the light since Monday here!!
ReplyDeleteReal bad luck.everything is just failing, I still believe in osibanjo though. Buhari should rising and let him take over
ReplyDeleteDuring buhari's campaign, people were saying he's an honest man, he's upright and all, now where is the honesty in him? He has been sick since he came into power, one health issue or the other. He should resign please. We are tired of excuses, deceit and lies. Nigerian as a nation needs repentance,by everyone of us restructuring out mind and mentality
I really find it difficult to believe when people complain about light, the light here is extremely stable, in fact Dem never blink am since yesternight. And no! I don't stay on the Island
ReplyDeleteSame here. When I comment on post like this most times, they insult me.
DeleteWe've not bought diesel this year, the tank is still full. We used the gen last when power was cut off during the flood and that's like 3weeks ago.
No light since yesterday oh. No wonder. Abeg make dem go gather all the water wey flood Lekki, Sango Ota, Asaba and use and generate power biko.😂😂😂 I thought we are supposed to be having better light now the rain is heavy but naija own must be different.
ReplyDeleteLight full apapa o. Thank God I left festac
ReplyDeletehmmm @Blackberry Nigeria's case is ''A pity very painful''situation Its crazy , we dont have forward thinking leaders..A sensible country would have used the water from the flooded areas in Lekki, Vi and its environs to make a mini hydroelectric dam but no wetin full them empty heads is on how to loot money..Stella its not news..let them carry the light and the wire sef..No use..I have been hugging transformer in my area at Ijeshatedo, am still alive typing this message..so make them carry go..
ReplyDeleteLol. Keep hugging transformer
