What's d big deal there? FIFA has instructed every player and ref to come with their personal torchlight and play the game

It's a bleeping disgrace

The light pole may have been struck by lightning.

y are u people shouting over this?Believe it or not,it will still happen again in subsequent matches

fools - NEPA didnt strike - cant you read?

lol! Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaija!

u need to see the grass?

farm land, d white guys cant even run or play on it

Raining abuses and insult will not solve this country's problem. So HUSH!  

Most of those who post ought to be thriving on the Jokes section of the forum. Fellas just think it's a joy to ridicule the country at every instance without knowing the repercussions 'll meet you outside the country.

FIFA knew the energy situation of this nation before awarding us the rights. People just act irrationally without verifying facts. Nigeria is not the only nation to experience  technical hitches in equipments used.

It's funny PHCN is giving uninterrupted supply in hosting centres. The equipments became faulty during the game and not a problem of power supply. So some people should stop exposing their ignorance in arriving too easily at a wrong conclusion.

Yooo, this is not good. The western Media will be up in arms complaining about this. This is what they were looking for, any negative thing to happen.

Am shocked: Has this ever happened in the history of football?

Dear All,
U guys aint seen nothing yet wait until the final match-u better go and get a touchlight if u will be seeing the final match at the stadium, this is wat happens when u chop alone and leave out the small people that make things happen. The engineers are probably sabotaging the LOC effort who have refuse to give them piece of the national cake that we dont know who baked!

The day we know our problem thats when we can find solution to it. We thought we could make do with generator but it obviously dissapointed us. Its high time we allowed states to generate their own electricity from solar, wind, gas, thermal or hydro and then integrate it to the national grid. If I become the president, below will be my 'seven point agenda':

1. Electricity Generation
2. Electricity Distribution
3. Electricity Maintenace
4. Electricity Storage
5. Electricty Bank
6. Electricity Transformation &
7. Electricity Supply

Withought electricity we cant see our problem-we need light to see these problems! Our 'only problem' is electricity.

i am sure when that happened the american players shouted
shit men shit men
what the fok is up

There is nothing wrong in lights going off in a stadium during games because even in western world it do happen sometimes. My question is why should it take that long to restore it? That meant that there was no efficient backup plan in place. Maybe the organisers must have prayed and said, "God dey my brother it will never happen" a trademark of Nigerian mentality.

How else do we show to the world our trademark logo i.e. 'darkness'?

Good for them, bloody hypocrites trying to impress foreigners. To think that they blocked some roads because of that match and made us go through hell yesterday.

Nonsense, how wonder if hosting a tournament is nigeria's problem now.

maybe we should start thinking of carrying no boro boro gen sets to the stadium to help nepa

FELLOW NIGERIANS, HAVE NO FEAR, MORE OF THIS SHALL COME. IN THE MEANTIME, HAPPY VIEWING.

This cant happen in Lagos or Abuja Surely  Another consequence of poor planning/organisation by the LOC

are you sure?

Ewooooooooo, na wah oooooooooo! This country no be country o!!! _{(hands on my head!)}

I hope that useless mrs. rebrand Nigeria saw everthing! I thought she said everything was working in this country and that Yaradua's govt. was the best so far Nigeria hs had! Shameless people!!!

Wetin una expect before, all the players came from there countries with touchlights and rechargeable lamps, No be i pass my neighbour everybody dey use for the country, make them feel us small, oya lets go there.
After this na olympic we go host.

i think we shld ask Bode George what he feels about it, at least he has 2.5 'no business' years

at least the nepa own is better. match was suspended for 14 minutes. but what about yesterday in enugu and calabar? i'm stunned! it's only in this country that matches get cancelled due to water-logged pitches. a world tournament for that matter!

The rain was freaking heavy. It's not the first time matches are called off due to heavy rain. It was a storm for goodness sake.

You are all a disgrace to NIGERIA, ZIK,AWO, etc.
THE DAY NIGERIANS START PROFESING GOOD ABOUT OUR COUNTRY AND START ABIDIDING TO THE LAWS JUST MAYBE NIJA WILL BE GOOD,
THERE IS JUST TOO MANY NEGATIVE ENERGY AMONGS NIGERIANS AND NIGERIA CHANGE.
HERE IN SOUTH AFRICA THE MTN 8 FINAL LIGHTS WENT OUT FOR 35min BUT NO ONE COMPLAINED CAUSE THEY BELEIVE IT WAS A TECHNICAL FAULT, BUT YOU ALL ARE JUST TO NEGATIVE>

a storm? na only for naija storm dey worry? please tell us something else!

To some extent I personally agree with you. Lights do go out sometimes even in the developed world. However, I dont think that the problem is with well meaning, loving but impoverished Nigerians, as you claimed! with their 'NEGATIVE ENERGY'. Transformation my good friend starts from the top and it comes out of proper planning and organisation. There is nothing like luck in it.
My good advice to you now is ' Could you please go and stand on a track of a speeding train, but before you do that, profess very very good that the train will not kill you and we see what happens. Dont forget to kiss your loved ones bye first before you do that.

no mind this man talking crap about negative energy!
