National Grid Collapses, Plunges Country Into Darkness Again by etokhana(op): 3:32pm On Mar 14, 2022
Nigeria’s national grid, operated from Osogbo in Osun State, collapsed this morning plunging the country into total darkness.

The grid reportedly collapsed at about 10:40am Monday sending the eleven distribution companies which supply the 36 and Federal Capital Territory (FCT) out of supply.

As at 2:40 pm on Monday multiple sources across the distribution companies told The Guardian that although there were reports that the grid was being restored some of of them were yet to pick energy load.

The electricity situation in the country has been in its worst moment since the past months as generation capacity dropped to 2,000 megawatts with about 14 power plants shutting down.

This is not the first time the grid will be collapsing. Since 2013 when the sector was privatised, the grid has failed electricity consumers more than 130 times.

Although the Federal Government-owned Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), which manages the grid had at some point said grid collapse happen globally, the collapse of the power supply, each time it occurs, comes with a huge economic loss for consumers, especially commercial entities.

When you pay N20 to N60 for something that costs N53 to N80 to make, this is what you get.

No profits, bad service.

If you want power 24 seven, let the sector set its price so that money dey for more generation and better transmission.

You cannot pay 400 naira for a car.

Remember us when you reach your kingdom

Remember also that power in your new kingdom costs a lot of money, and the prices rise from time to time.

To provide 24 hours electricity is not rocket science but detective Fashola is not running his mouth as it were pre-2015.

Let them make it 24 hours first, then tell people to pay, they have been increasing it without any improvement, so your theory does not hold waters at all, the new place I'm staying I was paying 4k when I moved in 2019 now I am paying N42,000 and the light got worse as they kept on increasing it and I kept on paying, so please the government here is at fault, so don't come and say rubbish about increment...

YOUR THEORY DOES NOT HOLD WATERS, CALL A SPADE A SPADE, BUHARI HAS FAILED...

My major concern is the masses who've refused to receive sense. When it's time for election, we allow these politicians to let us vote based on ethnic and religious grounds, some even sell their votes with no sight of the big picture.

It's high time people realise that these politicians don't care about you

They deceive and divide you based on religious and ethnic grounds, but they Unite at the top to milk the country dry

Now that there's fuel scarcity , you won't see specific fuel stations for APC or PDP supporters, neither would they give you fuel because you're a Christian or a Muslim .

Whether you vote good or bad leaders, na everybody go hear am
ASUU Strike all their children are abroad getting quality education , you that voted based on ethnoreligious ground is at home, no special school for you that's Christian, Muslim, APC or PDP supporter

Una must receive sense by Force
