A generator would solve the problem. Alternatively a stove iron would suffice in the interim.

Any country (with a sizable ammount of oil or other natural resources) that has its citizens generating their own power for survival is worse than a 3rd world country.

I have a dry cleaning centre here in Asaba. The profit is still there unlike when there is stable light. For example for 25 shirts & 25 trousers. Cost of services.
One Big Cameroon soap #120
One heavy spray starch #350
5 litres of Fuel #500
5 Big gallon of water #25
Polythene bag and Nylon #300
Total cost #1295.
Revenue #300 * 25 = #7500
Profit #6200 for 25 up & down
