at least they are not used to doing that...it's just the situation they are trying to cope with...

but it's a shame here in Nigeria

It is a shame for Texas. Let me leave your inferiority complex and ignorance gor a minute.
Texas, the richest state in the US is home to a lot of ignorant people like you ..who only know oil and gas business and ranching.
They have a privately run power grid dependently mostly on fossil fuel power generation plants. Also because of rank stupidity their grid has no interconnectivity with other states so they cannot import power.
It was okay for a long while because Texas was mostly a hot state with a lot of crude oil and gas. Now God has shown that humility is important. Being grateful is important. A once in 5000 year cold blast has come and reset their brains.

My own issue is your lack of understanding that most countries get it wrong as well.
It is very stupid and ignorant to think only Nigerians make mistakes or have gotten it wrong. Pls open your eyes in the next three years. You will learn

Good luck convincing CNN that it was an act of God when Trump was president.

Do you mean Hurricanes Irma, Maria and Harvey. Those weren't acts of God according to CNN. They were caused by "Trump's stance on climate change".
It was a different scenario. Trump said there's nothing like climate change. He even detached America from the Paris climate group. When those hurricanes hit America, which was unprecedented in those areas, he was attacked for his stance on climate change. Texas' bad weather is another proof climate change is real and I wish this happened when trump was in office and he would have been attacked again...some strange climatic conditions happening in some areas considered to be alien to such...as educated as trump claimed to be, said climate change was a hoax.

They have finally tasted what the average Nigerian has always seen as normal since Independence till date.

No average Nigerian should go to Hell... They have been through worse here.

The gas in the pipelines, which powers water into residential buildings, froze due to uncontrollable weather conditions and not because of some inefficiency of those in the power sector. This should not be a news na. Abi the OP is trying to find a company in his misery?
Not be a news because it happened in America
