The national grid experienced a system collapse this morning due to a massive drop of load by the distribution companies. This also led to a fire in Benin.

I am not understanding! So is someone trying to say that little fire on a single transformer caused the entire nation to be thrown into darkness? Kaii.... The entire Nigerian power grid needs to be smashed and rebuilt from scratch.

If naija tire you, abeg raise your hands up

You are dumb!

Are power outages prone to Nigeria alone. Did you read to ascertain the root cause?

You see why you have been failing multiple job interviews and still remain unemployed

You dive into conclusion without digesting.

09.10. That was when my "light" went off - in the middle of making breakfast. Had to find an alternative way to complete the grilling. They're yet to restore the damn light as we speak.

You're calling someone who made a correct statement dumb?
If you travel out of the country on steady basis you will understand issues like this doesn't take them a whole week to fix, highest 2hrs.
In Malaysia there was a thunder storm and a local transformer blew, do you that under that rain the company involved fixed and restored light asap.
Dont give excuses for Nigerian incompetence.
And why would the whole country be thrown into darkeness just blc of a single transmission failure?

And thats make the Government useless?

Even after making known the cause of the outage. We just getting there and outage should not warrant condemnation.

There you have it

I want to ask a question.

Does the National Grid collapse also affect countries we supply electricity to?

Naptu2 help me out!

When the FG said the distribution companies were rejecting megawatts Nigerians castigated them. Now that it has produced evidence they’re still blaming the government. Too many illiterates.
