I saw a tweet of a white woman complaining they have not had light for 30hrs.
Ordinary 30hrs. We that sometimes we don't see light for 2 weeks nko. grin

We can survive without light. The sun and our weather permits it.

Unlike those in the western world who will die of cold if there is no power. The live in a carefully constructed ecosystem and can't function without it.

Borehole that all houses have one each. We even have two in my compound. The first did not bring clean water, so another one was dug. Currently, we use the two.

Americans should come and learn from Nigeria where we do everything ourselves because we are cursed with bad leaders. Maybe we are from the generation of Cain whom God cursed in the Bible.

What about our brothers and sisters that ran away from Nigeria to USA, when they see this water line in America, what will be in their hearts?

From frying pan no fire. With Biden as American president and the demon party rigging elections at all costs, don't be surprised to see more water lines in the USA. I have a hunch that heavier sufferings awaits the people in USA. With more strangers coming into that country any major disruption to economic activities will spell great human catastrophic proportions.

USA needs your prayers to avert human destruction and fights for the limited resources. Everybody in their government still think of covid-19 suppression forgetting industrial production and maintenance of human and materials resources availablity.

Government business is a serious business as it affects human beings directly.

This one is typing from the psychiatric ward of Lagos Isolation Center. Biden Lee you there. You unfortunately bitter loser.

Now tell me, have you ever succeeded in anything in your life? You supported Goatluck Jonathan, he lost woefully, you supported the Adamawa Bobrisky, he lost woefully, you campaigned for the dump Donald Trump, he was humiliated. Why is failure associated with you always?

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?

America's Power Outage: Texas Residents Line-Up To Fetch Water From Borehole (Video)[/b]

Residents of Texas have been captured lining up to fetch water amid days of blackout in the state caused by failure in natural gas operations, IgbereTV reports.

Operators revealed that the bulk of the power loss in Texas came from natural gas suppliers as pipelines froze, making it difficult for plants to get the fuel they needed.

Electricity is normally used to pump water into the homes of residents but since the outage, many have resorted to seeking alternative ways of accessing their daily needs.

In a video shared on Twitter by abc reporter, Erica Simon, citizens could be seen in a queue holding buckets and dispenser containers as they fetched water from a borehole tap.

They also got a bunch of wind turbines but the cheap governor decided not to pay the extra cash to protect then from harsh winters.

It kinda defeats the purpose though...

Using energy to keep wind turbines warm....

Aren't turbines supposed to produce energy?

The problem is not even the Wind Mills but their fossil fuel/coal powered powerplants.

In reality, failures in natural gas, coal and nuclear energy systems were responsible for nearly twice as many outages as frozen wind turbines and solar panels, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which operates the state’s power grid, said in a press conference Tuesday.


Lmao...what are a way to tell a story...

What percentage of fossil fuel power was lost compared to wind and solar?

More than half of the renewable energy supply was lost.

Texas voted for Trump out of Trump's lies that Biden was a socialist, but Trump had failed them miserably in addressing their climate crisis, also they're one of the worst affected by covid-19. This shows that people don't vote reasonably and rationally during election, their votes are cast for a candidate that appleals to their sentiments. Look at them today angry

grin grin grin its my choice to show it, besides, I don't see it as suffering, it's your choice to hide your own suffering.

SeriouslySense:
Please stop showing how proud you are of suffering, why she should suffer such because your leaders are irresponsible, does not mean others should suffer same thing.

There are even places worse than that in New York, especially in Jamaica side. Likewise in Inglewood area at West Century in Los Angeles. These are the rare scenes you'd never see on CNN grin but the beauty of American governance is, as unkept as those places seem to be, government's hands are felt everywhere. The residents have access to what the rich can also afford. Unlike here where the rich have drawn the lines between them and the poor.

what those areas have in common is that they are populated by a black majority - which is why Trump doesnt want more of you guys....
