Today, Kerosene lamps have become almost absent in urban areas, but are still being utilized as a light source in rural areas.

A Nigerian man on Facebook identified as Dili Ogbuenyi has taken to his page to share adorable photos of his children's reaction after seeing a kerosene lamp for the first time.

According to Mr. Dili, an Electrical Specialist, he decided to take his children to visit their grandmother in the village where they had the opportunity to see an old-fashioned kerosene powered lamp for the first time ever.

In the photo shared by the man, the kids were seen keenly looking at the lamp.

Mr. Dili in his Facebook post wrote, “Visited grandma today and the kids had the opportunity of seeing this oldskool lantern for the very first time.”

“I don't think they will sleep tonight. So happy,” he added.

A kerosene lamp is a type of lighting device that uses kerosene as a fuel. The lamp which is commonly used for portable lighting have a wick as a light source, protected by a glass chimney or globe.

Kerosene lanterns are useful for lighting without electricity, such as in regions without rural electrification, in electrified areas during power outages.

Just over a billion people across the globe live without steady access to electricity and 93 million are Nigerians. Despite possessing some of the world’s largest deposits of coal, oil and gas, Nigeria generates less power than a single dam in Washington, United States.

Nearly 10 million Nigerians still light their homes through Kerosene lamps when the sun goes down. We are the 6th largest consumer of kerosene in the world, with total imports of two billion litres of kerosene each year.
