Joseph Benjamin experiences blackout at London hotel

The talented actor experienced an all to familiar experience in a London hotel - blackout! Crowne Plaza hotel London Heathrow where Joseph Benjamin is staying, experienced blackout for over 2 hours this morning, and everyone was stuck in their rooms as the safety doors were shut.
"You should have seen the shock on my face when it happened. For a second I forgot I was in London. I felt like oh Naija electricity situation, probably they had taken power and needed to switch to generator. You know the usual excuses we are used to in Naija. When power was restored about two hours later, I said 'Up Nepa'"Joseph said with a laugh

      I bet the Brits probably thought he imported the power outage from Naija.

    As a Nigerian who's been used to power outage, I didn't expect that to be a surprise to you. I was actually in London the same time this happened but sincerely speaking, I felt normal with it and didn't even see that as a big deal cos to me, that's our normal way of life. A lot others were fidgeting and complaining but I was just good and I didn't remember it again until today.

    i wish you could cut out people who are insultive in their comments. I keep wondering, why people will insult others cos of comments. Or why people will insult you, can't comments be made without insults? People should know our perceptions are so different cos we are different. So cos you are wrong does not make the other person right. Anyway, its good these comments dont get to you, for me it gives me a clue on what goes on in peoples mind. And it also tells me the kind of complex a commentator has. (inferiority or superiority) and of course people who make allowances for others. Linda pls post my comment.
