Nigerians we àre stupid I swear... The govt opens up borders for generator imports since they are d ones having d business.. They import it for the masses, we buy.. They don't give us light.. Isnt dat corruption?


Do u think people who want to start a generator selling business abroad in united states will make it? No! Because their govt is hardly corrupt




Am not just happy with d way we reason

You have to be in the preneolithic age to be without electricity for even one hour. It is not just possible in the 21st century world..

This shows that majority of Americans don't have power generating (generator) sets and this who have it, don't depend on it as means of generating power. Nigeria and by extension, Africa have a long way to go.

This is correct. Individuals don't need generating sets because this type of occurrence is very rare. However, there are thousands of people that are on life support machines that cannot afford disruption of electricity, therefore it is typical in medical establishments and other sensitive areas to have multiple grids of electricity. If there is an outage in one grid the other grid automatically starts and one would never notice it. It happens in a blink of an eye.
Pls, quit comparing Naija with the USA as that basis of comparison will NEVER exist.

The law suit from those claiming damages will hit a trillion dollars. If you amala left get spoiled, you join in claiming damages. Hungry class action lawyers will be very busy. As a result, it will it last 24 hours before the thing is back on

But this should not stop activities now, are they not first class citizens can't they improvise?, so those that need medical attention will not get it becos no electricity?.

oyinbos and blowing things out of proportion are like bread n butter.

Akute in Ogun state, ppl live without NEPA for glorious days n no noise. just hours for San Francisco it became world news. smmmh!

And that is why the whole GDP of Akute is not more the productivity of some 25yr old man in California! SMH!

Rejoicing in backwardness. SMH!

Now this is one smart person right here. Without electricity, traffic signals can't work. Without operational traffic signals, many American cities would be in chaos. So many things wouldnt work. You'd be surprised that this my be a sting operation to see how a big city (police, medics, emergency services and fire fighters) reacts to a sabotage such as this.
