Sad.

sonOfLucifer:
Ezeagu, could you include this map in the Op so people get a sense why some part of Africa is dark. There is this growing misconception on this thread that Nigeria's power system isn't doing bad compared to other African countries.


It shows world population density. The darker shades represent population with higher density.

That is truth. For most Nigerians, 10 hours of light a day is God's blessing. In other places, let's just say one man's blessing is another man's curse.

By the way, stop believing in devil, God, angels and all other bullshit. Those nonsense don't exist.

This is a timezone map which means the different times a certain longitude of the world is in.

The world is round. Night time happens when the world turns on its axis and a part of it is hidden away from the sun.



Europe and Africa are mostly on the same longitude.



Because they are on the same longitude, they experience night time at around the same time.

Even if they didn't, the map would have been stitched together and the point and comparison would still have been valid.

Africa and most part of Europe are in the same time zone. 2 hours difference in some parts cannot change day from night.
