My God i can't stp laughing. I believe ridicules like this will make nigerian govt sit up. Bsides the lyt situation here in choba uniport is terrible still on d lookout for the improvement
If America is that perfect in all they do why was there power failure for 30mins in an all important event like the US Super Bowl in New Orleans. Lets America and Amanpour take Pandol to easy there own head ache and leave Nigeria alone!
lwkmd.... make CNN no giv Jonathan heart attack ooo... Naija sha, always on d news 4 somtin -ve, if its not internet scam, its boko haram, if its not dat 1 its Jonathan lying like Nigerians wont watch d interview... God will save us
OMG! see disgrace, GEJ should be ashamed of himself. Things are just deteriorating in this country. We need a total cleansing, according to what Pastor tunde bakare has said.
It was Jonathan who challenged Amanpour to go and ask ordinary Nigerians if d power situation has improved and Amanpour did! So now u c d dounle disgrace on Mr Pesident.
chei, i can't stop laughing, this is unbelievable ! Bet why GEJ ? These oyinbo people sef why do they like going to the slums in lagos/nigeria? i don't blame them, i blame our government. i'm so sure my lecturer would say something about this in class on friday. the guy just likes embarrassing me (all thanks to GEJ) Nigeria i hail thee!
Pls they shouldn't dream of hosting super bowl in nigeria. Cos Nepa could leave power supply to charging generator owners for bad business. President goodluck shld stop lying he just don't know how to do d political public lie.
Why is it that whenever African cities are shown on Western tv it's always the poor area but they never show slums in England USA and co on tv? Problem is our people are too ignorant to understand world politics. Yes power is a big problem but so us colonial sabotage!
Let believe in dis project called Nigeria,to b sincere energy has improved,it may not b at d rate we all expect,example is Akute area in Ogun state,initially there wz no eletricity 4 days even weeks & not even xpected but now it is a daily occurrence,if just 4 few hrs and xpected daily
At least CNN is saying something if the local channels can't....I guess Jona is pleased with himself on the work he's done on the power sector, rubbish. Its either he's lying or he's just a LEARNER!
I didnt watch the whole clip because this woman has pissed me off and i would love to address her face to face and she would not get off scott free. How dare she? What agenda does she has against Nigeria to make such a stupid report? But let me move pass that and address some of you dumb inferiority complex Nigerians that cannot realize the insult she has heaped on you. She and the WEST are not out to help you- they dont care about you and/or your situation...what do you think you gain by airing our problems to these media outlets?? WHEN HAVE THEY HELPED YOU??? they dont care about you... dumb dumb dumb nigerians- you think the reporting of these reports shame our leaders into action? THEY DO NOT- I have yet to see that happen- they shame you and me common citizens.... we are the ones who have to explain to our foreign co- workers whether or not reports like this one are true....STOOPID Nigerians yall need to stfu and stop running to massa...SHAME ON YOU...no matter how you try to change your self, accent, location YOU ARE NIGERIAN..deal with it- make changes in your place and stop helping the West to mock you..imagine this stupid woman talking trash and some of you are hailing her report........womders shall never cease
OMG! See as dey open our presidents yansh If you live in London and you need an African chef to cook in your home here is the link http://www.gumtree.com/p/jobs/african-chef-available-for-indoor-catering/1007509408
Why don't the wealthy people invest in solar? It is more expensive initially but cheaper int he long run. The schools and public institutions should also invest in solar to take some burden off the grid. Wind farms would help too.
I believe some of these strange diseases and afflictions affecting even the young is caused from inhaling all those fumes from generators all the time. I can't see how that can be healthy for anybody.
U shuld come to agbowo ibadan and see the light situation for urself..u would be amazed as to ask urself if they actually believe human beings stay in this buildings or its just a stall for animals.there can be power outage for close to a week and to think that agbowo is in front of the premier university(university of Ibadan),it is also disheartning that it is mostly inhabited by students nd yet no light and bro jona has da audacity to say it is improving anyways#God dey.
Na wah for that babe that has 4 generators. She dey live for factory? She SHLD pls sell all her I pass my neighbor and buy sometin tangible. And yes I am beefing...
Really? Funny? D US diverts d attention off dem and d disgrace of wat happened in d Super Bowl and uses Nigeria as a sounding board and its funny to you? God help us and our pride! D US breeds psychos by d day dat go about killing ppl b4 committing suicide but have u seen dem abusing der country and president for it? Have dey even collectively fought to ban guns!? Nigerians we r truly not d worst country ever, open ur eyes! We d citizens destroyed our countries name not d west. D other day in uk a foreign student from naija was racially abused by a white racist woman in a hospital dat she shld go back to her country instead of coming to uk to claim 'poor' and dat she was part of d reason why uk is in crisis meanwhile d girls tuition £13,000 is paid by her father! I read it on daily mail online and I quickly scrolled down to abuse d mofo guess wat? Dey wld not allow comments on dat particular article so go figure....but if it was in naija now d girl will even be abused by naijas. I rest my case... OnPoint
Gun killing has been on d rise in America and der economy is very bad, have dey killed der president? Dey even voted him back in! Nigerians learn to uphold ur country in social media! Dats why u'll have some of dese ppl from poorer African countries even coming on Linda ikeji to join and abuse us! Wen r we going to learn that dis is not d way? As a human being if u have d habit of insulting and making jest of ur self at any given opportunity den no one will respect u, but if with ur flaws u respect ur self while obviously working on ur flaws, no one can bring u down. Nigeria enuf is enuf! Lets clean up our name first by defending our country den go on d street and fight d government till dey buckle up and hear us! OnPoint!
That becos Nigeria is bad.. U are one of the privileged few so its easy to request for better view of our country... Lagos, PH and ABJ and maybe KD are one of the few ok places.... Travel to other states... Den u wud know wats really happening... Even in states where there is light lyk Osun state its just bEcause the powerstation is located there.. Others, its just a sad story... Rick Ross did d right thing in his video cos dats d truth and Miss AManpour also is doing the right thing...
"Please why do they only show the sums when showing naija,I beg they should know beta now hisss always want to portray Nigeria bad. Them no see fine area show abi"...
Comments like this is the reason Nigeria is the way it is! The pretense that everything is great when infact majority of Nigerians are starving...such a shame.
Who are you forming for? So they should show the rich places abi? Who are the people living there? and how many Nigerians can afford to live in the "rich" places? They go were the average Nigerian resides. If you are ashamed of the naija they portray then fight for a better Nigeria by revealing the falsehood. stop covering up
They shuuld not leave us alone. I stayed in UK for 16months, and I did not see the light blink for a day. Don't you want that kině of thing for your country too.
Thank God the western are now looking beyond the streets of the ill gotten riches of the politicians and so called rich men.
I strongly believe the GOD of the masses is ready to strike and fight for us because the more we get exposed to the outside world; showing how poverty stricken we are' then I can definately see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Current statistic still shows that, about 100millions are still living below a dollar in Nigeria and we are still kitting some people with well above 40million dollars for peace in Mali whereas our Country is in shabbles. What a shame!
Pple, let's be truthful 2 ourselves, if Ɣ☺ΰя transformer or cables are not spoilt, there's hardly any reason y U̶̲̥̅̊ shldnt ve power. Electricity has improved in most places if not all @ least better than d past govt. I don't think GEJ lied abt electricity cos we have light @least 20-23 hrs a day if d transformer doesn't ve issues and if it does, they fix it on time and I live @ ajah.
i actualy watched it on monday##power az improved in my place too##wat mean MEN destroyed years ago can't b reBuilt so eaSILy in jst 2yrs..Nigerians r patiently impatient..let's give him more time##lagos was dis beautiful after 14yrs##dats a state..talkless of a country##
Loooool! Who be dat amebo albino girl with nyamanyama accent.she has 4 generators. Just like primary school lie "I have swimming pool on d rooftop" or "my daddy has 31 cars for each day of d month". Loooooooool.
Why not the slums?let's tell it as it is,where I stay in ikotun we have days on and days off and even on a "day on",we still don't v light so wat are we saying???
Well I guess GEJ messed himself up. Someone asked me how I would have responded if I were the President; I told him dat Amanpour didn't specifically ask him about the Power situation. There clearly are other areas where the President could lay claim to achieving much (I'm cracking my brain to find out what aspects) without incuring the chagrin of Nigerians.
Though electricity has improved in some part of Abuja n Benin bt sometimes u jst see dem misbhavin. I tink a prepaid metre will b d best so we know dat we r nt paying 4 d lihgt we dnt use. And I hate d fact dat dey had 2 go n sit down 2 compose all dose lyrics 4 Nigeria, its a pity n a disgrace. By d way is it only Nigeria in Africa dats having electrical problem, pls Amanpour should go n sit down n Mr president I ope u watch dis n put money in important project with trusted people or u remove dem.
The US has used us to clean up their mess...their Super(Bowl) Mess! All thanks to well meaning morosonto-idiotic Nigerians living in the US....mtchewww...what a way to use twitter!
Please you guys are talking like jonathan started this power issue. This problem has been with us since the very first day of independence,now he is the only president who has actually done something about it after 53 years! Atleast some people are actually sayin they have power supply.All you talkers pls tell me in which regime you have evr heard that story? Abeg free the man joor! Nd just soo you know CNN doesn't always give the real story,they say wat they think will sell.Kapish
U re very correct!my man stays der.though they've started bringing light in d oda cbn,small small.don't think navy town has light too.its jus sad abeg.dat last tweet was too hilarious.lol
I don't need cnn to tell me if electricity has improved or not, the truth is that it has improved over the last one year, they can use their propaganda but I know what I know. Its a shame that you Nigerians can't defend your president, but instead you call him a liar. How did he lie? We abused super eagles but they proved us all wrong, this jonathan we abuse today, we will use our mouths to praise one day.
When ever I read this post it makes me laugh.. Nigerian are so used to suffering they forget the bare necessities.. 5days power supply as far as I am concerned is below par. Nigeria being one of the richest country in Africa should have passed the level of power shortage.. it is a disgrace. Shame on the president. They have be. Promising power supply for the past 35 years or more.. I have lost hope for that country..
Jeez!... Like seriousely... ermm *clears throath* I can't believe i just saw this. Americans have a silly way the mock Africans,. they think we all live in trees like monkeys. chaii... twitter... pls my fellow Nigerians, its not by force to tweet or reply tweets. lets stop washing our dirty linen on the street. For once, lets be positive and support our president. Its not easy for him as well. He's human like us.
This video is so hilarious! I'm laughing so hard I'm shedding tears! Wow! But seriously speaking, I think there is some improvement. I stay in New Bodija in Ibadan and I must admit we have better power supply. We are, however, so far from El Dorado!
Hehehehe! the next time Mr.GEJ decides to tell an "international lie", he will definitely think twice. God bless all those people that were interviewed. Just for the record, be glad I was not the one that was interviewed o. If I was, Obama will be forced to interfere! Loool! Electricity is better my foot!
WOW... yh nigeria has a long way to go in instilling development talk more of sustaining development. The shocking thing here was that they had a black out and they diplomatically transferred the focus to us, we owe them no explanation, nigeria is slogishly developing but it ain't there business. The last comment they read was carefully selected to play with our mind. And can you notice the use of propanganda, d interviews conducted were done in a particular setting, then they show the dejected part of Nigeria...i question the inteviews conducted.
hahahahahaha, i can't stop laughing. This our government is insane. You can see the so called idiot telling a white lie boldly and arrogantly. the lie show so tee even winter smoke no gree commot for im mouth. Really i just think it's high time these government starts getting this embarrassed.
Truthfully speaking, we are not yet there yet, however, electricity supply has improved tremendously in most parts of Nigeria, unlike during past regimes.
Pls let us all sharrap! U are in one small part of lagos,u see light 4hrs a day, and u call dat improvement.Why not call people in the villages and ask them how the state of power there is.CAN THERE BE LIGHT IN NIGERIA, THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, FOR ONE MINUTE, AT THE SAME TIME? We use the state of light in one part of Lagos and Abj, to do our math, while plenty pple are suffering in darkness( using lamps and mpanaka) in d oda parts of the country. If it takes the likes of Christiane Amanpour to bring normalcy to power sector, so be it. We shld be happy that CNN is doing what our so called TV stations cannot do.I hope other channels like sky news, BBC can join them, let's see if it can make Jona, NNaji and co to sit up. I'm very happy with this development, Amanpour, carry on jare!We are solidly behind u.
I closed my eyes in shame but wait a minute,Whats with Amanpour, i guess she is obsessed with our president,our power supply might not be all that good but its improving,what if we had no light at all?.. The American's should take a chill bill,after all,here in maitama they don't spend up to a 100k on light bill. mstewwwwww. rabbish
Amanpour's presentation is NOT totally true. My area of Lagos -Alagbado- is enjoying incredible power supply these days. Its not yet UHURU, but there is good improvement. I can bet one of the people interviewed must have said something positive, which, of course, wouldn't be aired by Amanpour's western media. Just the way they wouldn't show the VGC's of Nigeria, just the slums.
Its a good thing. Nigerians should learn the word 'shame' and feel it coz we are a shameless country. Let them show the slums,there are slums in naija aint there? The fact that you dont live in one does not take away from the reality of those living the slumlife.They should show your house in VGC abi? Everybody sends their kids off to the US,UK and even Ghana to school while our own insttutions are rotting and bereft of facilities. You manage graduate nko? No job for you because the average employer wants to employ the 'akata' breed. Let Nigerians at home and diaspora feel shame then at least we will demand that the country improves,hold politicians accountable and be more careful of the people we vote in to power{no tribal or religious sentiment should be attached to your wellbeing and the lives of your children]. Our leaders travel abroad and see other countries and then come back home and what do they do? Steal more and send their kids to those countries to live the good life and enjoy facilities that the leaders of those countries provide for their people.Politicians buy houses in other countries to enjoy the same facilities that they deny their own people,facilities and infrastructure that they deny Nigerians. And Nigerians like slaves kiss the buttcheeks of the same people that steal from them. And some sad sods are complaining that Amanpour showed slums in her video. Send your address to CNN and let them see the opulent lifestyle you are living ,with your bad roads and bad attitude.Mediocrity celebrating Nigerians.
Here in osun state, power supply has been very good and improved, there's only a cut out if there's a problem with transformer. The electricity situation is not as bad as the comments of those people abeg.

Oh dear indeed. This is embrassing. Who will dare disgrace Obama lyk dis if d tables were turned around? But at least in Nigeria, we know we are not perfect and say we make room for our imperfection by having stand-by generators **winks**. Unlyk Americans who think they are perfect. If say d power out surge happened in Nigeria, in 5mins, we go on generator sharparly. Nelly Ib
Why are some people concerned about what their white colleagues will think? Lets call a spade a spade. Isn't it true that constant power is a rare and scarce commodity in Nigeria?
Our leaders should continue to be exposed, humiliated and shamed in the International arena. Bunch of heartless thieves. Maybe this is what will actually jolt them to start doing what they were elected to do in office. Liars!
At least if d media in Nigeria cannot put our Bad Govt to shame CNN would,we In Nigeria are so divided that when a U criticise Govt people scrutinize ur ethnic group or political affiliation,our diversity shld be our strength,Pres Jonathan has tried bt He shld stop tellin lies
LMAO oooooo.Ye! see dissing.How can a president of a nation go on international TV to tell lies without mincing his word? Wonder how he will be feeling right now.Shameless man. Still laughing.
God bless ur heart! I'm so tired of how some Nigerians help d west to run our country down! I'm a British citizen, schooled and worked der before moving back to naija and I know how racist dey so r but of so I used to give it to dem anytime dey tried me...once a work colleague asked me weda its true we all live in slums, my answer to her was dat I wld rather live in slum dan wer I'm a target cos of my skin color or living in fear dat a peadophile will rape and kill my child!! Believe me wen i tell u she knew not to try me ever again...it irks me at how ignorant so many Nigerians are! Lets say u have a child who is challenged academically for wateva reason and u r invited to school to discuss her progress, r u going to join her classmates to make fun of her or talk proudly of her while making sure u find ways to tackle d problem? Shine ur eyes nigerians and have some pride. I might not be proud of Nigerians but by God I'm so proud of Nigeria!! I am a proud Nigerian!! Nuf said! OnPoint
Pls I'm not Nigerian but i have one question: does it mean dat every rich man in Ur countrymade der money thru a shady way? So u guys can't even boast of one Nigerian dat made der money single handedly and clean? Pls if its true den all u nigerians coming on dis blog to abuse ur government r big fools and cowards! So u guys just suffer silence? Wat a bunch of lunatics! U guys r making ur selves look like d joke of Africa, stand up to ur government u jokers lmao!!
I rarely comment on dis blog but I can't just let dis pass. I am not a fan of GEJ neither do I believe in PDP led govt but to u all sayin trash about d country's light situation lik GEJ should come overnight n mk everything that has been a concern to d nation for over 50yrs, it's ain't possible (You can't feed a starved child in a day- Yoruba Proverb). It's a gradual process n to say d truth d electricity supply in my area has bn fantanstic(new bodija Ibadan). Learn to appreciate wat's urs n 2 all d idiots dat tk to twitter @ least wen u wanna criticize do dat constructively. I believe in Nigeria.....Annie
I am disappointed by the comments I have read from many educated Nigerians on this blog! Where is our spirit of Nationality? Haven't u heard that rome was not built in a day? Our electricity has been epileptic for decades and you expect it to improve in less than 2yrs? I'm not a fan of Jonathan, but truth be told, electricity has improved in my area. If we sit back and listen to ourselves speak, we won't talk this way again. Haba! How many of you talking will do better if you were in power?
Those hailing Amanpour are fools! No light for £) fucking minutes and she diverts attention to Nigeria! ridiculing our President and you find it funny? I work in the power sector. I know how committed this man is to improving the electricity situation in Nigeria. for * yrs, nothing was done! no investment! This man is putting standards and guidelines in place to ensure that investors have a level playing field and that investors are attracted to the sector and you all are abusing him? Do you all think it is easy to improve electricity? If you are an engr, you should know what it entails to generate, transmit and then distribute electricity. Go to the generation companies and see men, old enough to be your fathers, suffering to keep the lights on! Fabricating materials pending the purchase of new ones. Just so that you will have electricity even if it is once a day! Wake up people! Goodluck is not the best but in this sector, he is trying and you will be amazed at what he has done so far just that the lay man just wants to turn on the switch and see light! IT CANNOT HAPPEN OVER NIGHT!
A lot of things have to be put into place NIPP projects are coming up, IPP projects are coming up. Some of you do not even pay at all!
Are you aware that most barracks do not pay and you dare not take light in their area? What about govt offices, most owe PHCN. Can any business run like that? sell without making profit? You all sit down there thinking electricity is as simple as telecom! They are not same! Telecom is easier and simpler framework!
DO NOT LET THE WEST USE YOU AS A DOOR MAT! They are worse off!
I urge us all to go on twitter and tell Amanpour off for ridiculing our President and our country! have some pride ppl!
Well Linda! Yet another lot of Nigerians displaying their ignorance!, I don't know what you gain by encouraging ignorance on your blog. I can't remember Mr President saying there is constant power. He said it is improving. And if it makes you happy people, keep ridiculing yourselves with ignorance. CNN will always edit and show us what they want. Many people have testified that the power situation is improving here and the rest think the west has anything to offer them or even wish them. They want you to remain where you are as that suits them. If you are not proud of your country, no one else will do it for you. Pride will make you get up and strive to make it better. All these talks abusing the president and abusing your country only tells me that if any of you ever gets to the position of power, you would do no better. Those talks are indicative of corruption as you will also want to take a piece of the national cake and leave the country to go down; afterall no be you start am. The power problem has been years in the making and cannot be solved overnight. We are not the worst country in the world and America and co have deep rooted problems as well. I'm sure you don't know the level of poverty in these countries. It will take time but we should be proud and strive to do something. Whether you like it or not, we are the giants of Africa and stop abusing our president. CNN, leave the slums of Lagos and go to other towns and cities in Nigeria.
people are crazy!! dont people know its things like this that make the government keep up with their expectations... CNN is helping they should keep it up so that maybe things can change... their 30mins superbowl is our lives thats just sad
that woman is very silly...are we complaining? Rome was not built in a day!!! stupid idiots...their electricity failed and they r insulting my country! God punish their father! No be them dey bring generator into our country ? no be then dey sell petrol for us? i am sure if we start having constant electricity it will affect their fucking almighty Shell and Chevron, which will affect their country's economy...they r the corrupt ones, bribing to make sure electricity doesnt work in nigeria so that they can keep making more money...MOTHER FUCKERS!!!! I LOVE MY COUNTRY , ELECTRICITY OR NOT! NO PLACE LIKE HOME...PROUDLY NIGERIAN...proudlyslim
*thinking out loud* 'We keep accussing the Western media of depicting Naija as a village by showing only the slums. So, my people, let us re-depict our nation by the use of social media Put up beautiful pictures of VGC,and other nice areas too, the numerous edifices we have, cinemas, malls, etc (dont be surprised if they think we dont have cinemas and nice malls).
som part of lagos actualy hav stable power,but zaria like som1 said has a terrebl power supply nd i tink its high time we stand up nd speak up for our right,cos environs r experincing good nd improved power while we in d main town r not.GEJ ur tryin but stop actin like as if twas all ur mastermind midas touch,uv stil got much more to do
Fellow Nigerians let's call a spade a spade... Mr President never said that the challenges with electricity were over, he only said that electricity supply had improved considerable from what it used to be... and we all know that's the truth. We all know it can be better, but let's acknowledge the little progress made.
Captivity of negativity.... Have you ever seen an american foul mouth obama or clinton or bush???? Just asking...ђa̶̲̥̅̊Ԏ we call our Dog Ȋ̝̊̅§ its name.... NIGERIA Ȋ̝̊̅§ Where we belong let's make it big.... If its not working its becos of you and me....
@ UgoBabbeeeee of course what we might say what the hell has she and the west got to do with Nigeria. But come to think about it; I'm not trying to be institutive, are by the way try to move forward or just floating around i guess you don't what the world is all about in today's world. The Real question i think you should have asked is you Goths had GEJ to have lied openly on an interview or whatever. As far as it shows the gorgeous lady didn't plead to people to post their opinion on line, neither did she say Nigerian should or must give negative opinion or their truthful opinion. i guess its your type who support bed idea and doings blindly. and i guess you should be wiser than this. You insult Nigerians for supporting the news, tell me how should wrong be put to the right? how can a corrupt government be corrected. From a government that claims openly that they are being transparent, when they are not then its most ok for people to criticize them especially when they lie a lot. Bro those days of suffering and smiling are over. you better start thinking "olodo" You better start calling a Spade a Spade.
she has no right whatsoever to insult and mock our President like this and bear in mind everytime Jonathan is mocked internationally it us that is being mocked as well. I find it very insulting.
@amethyst_jess, y not the slums and to imagine your president going out there to say at least power supply in Abuja has improved? Abeg abeg abeg, is Abuja the only place in Nigeria mtschewwww. He was just responding to all questions like person wey no go school. Baba disgrace
Obviously the president goofed. I believe he relied on reports presented by his team of ministers and advisers who are just there to protect their jobs even if they have to feed him with lies or is it the case of what the president wants to hear. Nigeria is a complex entity that is even made more complicated by the current leadership at all levels.
Them quickly use us cure to divert their own mess up. But na we cause am. I live in Lekki & we never have light. I use a large chunk of my salary on fuel & maintaining my gen every month. Super annoying
Judging from what this country was generating before GEJ came to power i think he has tried his best,OBJ left office when generation was 1,356MW,Yaradua came in raised it to 2,200MWin 3 years but Gej in just few years raised it to 5,000MW with hope of reaching 10,000MW by December this year.i think we are our own problem,there are many phcn workers who have vow to frustrate every efforts of the president.
i live in jos and i must say dat power has improved drastically.people should say d truth wen tins r better and stop holding on to series of lies...GEJ is trying and I AM PROUD OF HIM.
I live in kaduna state and I can say we have light at least 20hrs in a day. Sometimes we have like for a week and there is no blink at all..light has really improved
Nigerians!!!, American is in their 200+ somthing years of independents, and dey still experience light off during their super bouwl,while Nigerian is just 51+ and has made dis progress, Jonathan is still d best 4 d past twenty years. And trully power suplly has really improved in my area.if we give Jonathan d chance Nigeria will be better . Let's stop dis wana be like American altitude!! And start improving in our own little ways. Amaka says so
Lol,the chick dey form Fone-_- but its true tho,i wish the nepa problem will end,soo disgraceful,*sigh* Nigeria we hail thee,Nigeria will be better,i have faith:(
Bottom line? Don't believe everything u see or read as News. So many people are without electricity for weeks without end all over the country. If it's not Kanji Dam water level is too low... then it will be too high. If it's not vandals, it is transformer has blown! There is always an excuse! Small scale businesses are struggling because more than what they make goes to buying petrol or diesel. Everyone, whether rich or poor is experiencing the hardship one way or the other.... the only difference is the rich have the means and oppurtunity to get more money to purchase petrol/diesel for their generators. What means do the less fortunate have?(by this i mean we who are not high enough in positions to make extra cash). Lets all the realistic! if people don't put shame in our leaders they can never be ashamed as they think they have amassed enough wealth not to be ashamed. They must begin to feel shame as leaders before they are moved to act! It is good that the world sees how a country with so much wealth(human & Natural resource) can not provide the most basic of infrastructure for her people. The other day, we were all appalled as our hearts bleed for the gory sight of our Nigerian Police college and I personally, is yet to see any news report that follows up that article. So as usual, we will never know if there has been any changes whatsoever to the last report we all read. No follow up story. As sad as these reports may seem, it is good that other credible news agencies report that state of affiars of the Nigerian people who have cried and lost a lot and no respite is near. I am proudly Nigerian but my pride is within the confines of my home as once i drive out from my gate i am reminded i am still in Nigeria. How come of all the countries colonized by the British who have some sort of wealth only Nigeria after 52yrs is without steady electricity supply, good road, good and functiong hospitals, good schools from Primary - Tertiary? How hard can it be to hear that our loved ones still in the village are enjoying electricity like you and I in the city? Are we not all tired? Oga Jonah? All these people who studied engineering and all those technical stuff and have graduated from college should have bright and fresh ideas on how to improve electricity supply accross the federation..........Give them a chance to input their ideas and see to it that it works.(Job creation) Most of the people you are working with are tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo old and don't realize that times have changed. They have lost all their patriotic spirit for Nigeria.
To my fellow Nigerian leaders (Federal,State and LG) Love your country!!!!! Love your state!!! Love your Local Government!!! Then try to make it the best in everything. It shall be the pride of her people and the envy of others.
A man or woman @ 52 who is yet to achieve anything is always perceived as a failure, hence Nigeria is being perceived as a failing clown. Rats like that footballer can open his unwashed mouth to yab us on twitter and some people here are saying how dare Amampour.
Nation! if we fail as a people, we fail as a Nation. Let us begin to tell our Husbands, fathers, Mothers,brothers, sisters, relatives, friends .... who are in power to start doing better things with Tax payers money. People like Sambo are not homeless, so his house project can wait a little... maybe 2015( since 2015 is our new due date).There are more important things to do and believe me, there are available people who will gladly do the job better.
From ur write up its obvious u've not travelled out much if at all, wen d US wants to show u a picture of New York wat do dey show u? Beautiful New York abi? D statues, manhattan etc, do dey show u d Bronx? D areas dat black poor ppl live in? Dat is called branding my friend.
Anon 11:07 am And why are you a British citizen den if you have so much faith in your country? Abegi, lemme hear word! If our leaders choose to be shameless, we, the citizens will expose them. Do you realise it is a thing of life and death. Y shut ur mouth and suffer? Now, he is forced to address the issue on Facebook and you think that is normal. same as the Police training school when it was exposed to the public. If the western world choose to hide behind the 'super power' thing. let them! We have no business with that, Our point is for things to be done right in our own Country and we will continue to expose the government and their skeletons till we get it right. Also your example doesn't hold much water. what If your husband keeps maltreating you both physically and mentally at home would you remain mum about it under the guise of he would change? Or expose him for things to get better. Let's just stop with the Western world and Africa debate and call a spade a spade.
CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR is originally from Iran, now Iran's electricity case is worse than that of Nigeria. that is why they claimed that the reason behind their Nuclear energy Power is to provide electricity (what is wrong with using gas as a source of electricity). Christiane should FUCK OFF and go and make a positive impact in the lives of iranian's and stop dissing Nigeria. what is the connection between a blackout in an Event in America and Nigeria.
CNN no dey carry better news, why can't they focus on why light was off for 30mins during the game rather attacking Mr. President. They always show us thier good and try to cover up thier shortcoming.
for the president to go to CNN and lie blatantly is d uttermost disgrace even more than the epileptic power in d country. shame on him. plz linda i hope you let those at aso rock hear this. shameless leaders.
When are we going to stand up and defend our land? why must we continue to allow these people to drag our personalities in the mud? did they just fly to where they are, the tweets are an irony of what it should portray, these people make mistakes and they try to turn their incompetence away by alluding the fact to Nigeria's problems, whats the connection? THEIR superbowl game was interrupted because THEIR electric supply went off, NOT Nigeria's!!! We will get there. . . folks.
Atleast they have what to use to cover shame. Look at the so called high cost estates and big man area... they still suffer the plague the low cost areas are facing. Poor town/ area plans, bad roads, no light, dirty with puddles of water, no drainage.... the list is endless. It will be a bigger shame should they show where the so called rich class live yet it is as horrible as every other place. What monuments do we have that they will show? what edifices do we have that they show? Nada ... Zip! Using the slums only draws attention to a problem in this case is seriously disgusting. even advertising agencies will tell you... Image is everything!
There shd b a problem in dat area.We can see d President is making efforts at improving our lot in power.U can see d distribution of poles and meters. Dat's a step in d right direction. Nigerians have got learn about Nation building and patriotism.We shd never abuse our leaders.Americans would never come out to do such.We shd hav pride,abeg! However,ds vid would make d Govt sit-up and shame its critics. America shd b ashamed that power went off in an event so important as the Superbowl using Nigeria as solace for their poor showing. That can neva happen here;power outage for over 30mins!!!shame!!!
U r very on pt! Some of diz ppl are so cowardly to admit.dey see electric poles, they see meters being distributed and dey knw if not a fault wt deir transformers, dey wd hav power yet d mumble and grumble.they would put on all d points they hav in deir houses and go to work and believg deir transformer would last for dem.Be wise Nigerians and add ur own quota to d growth of dis country.
I have no doubts of how Mr. President is passionate about the need to fix this embarrassing issue of electricity in the country and I truly respect and appreciate that.
But, he should not have categorically made such a statement on CNN (of all places). It is still a work in progress would have sufficed (In my opinion).
All I can do is pray for him and wish him the very best so that all his efforts would not be in vain as those of his predecessors.
Nigerians should learn to respect themselves. Respect the President, if light hasnt improved in ur area, it has in mine. Mr President is right. CNN cant put up all dark side of USA and more. They all look down on us and why must we accept such trash from them. All about CNN to Africa is Negative. Abeggy make i hear word
Linda haven't seen any of my comments posted here,kindly post this:Most Nigerian citizens in this blog are so daft,they do not show slums in Western tvs cos they don't have one.One of the major problems in Nigeria is poor journalism,appraising evil that the government do every day.You people better wake up and see the state the leaders left the country.Am so sure most of you that write bullshits here do not know how much Nigeria makes everyday in the oil market.Its 2b dollars,that's for oil alone,and this is what they declare so maybe more. ...So where does this money go to?no one would axe them for looting if they at least do the necessary things for the poor masses.I believe most of you that write rubbish here haven't been any where outside Nigeria to see the much gap,its disheartening because they are funds to do all this but the government leave this monies in foreign account/banks laying dormant while their citizens live in destitute. No good roads,millions of people die every year by road accident you people call witches and wizards,better wake up and see beyond black magics,the world is gone beyond the locomotive stage like you people see it..Didn't mean to insult anyone though,was angered after reading some comments from low minded individuals.
LINDA I JUST SAW THIS AND I MUST TELL YOU I AM NOT HAPPY AT ALL WE JUST DISGRACED OURSELVES TRUTH BE TOLD ELECTRICITY IN THIS NATION HAS ALONG WAY TO GO BEFORE WE CAN SAY UHURU BUT CANT WE JUST RESPECT OURSELVES BY SAYING ITS IMPROVING WE ARE GETTING THERE GRADUALLY. C HOW WE JUST GO FLUNK OURSELVES FOR CNN AND THE BAD THING ABOUT CNN IS THAT THEY WILL KIP ON USING THAT CLIP AND TWEET. MOST ANNOYING was that stupid girl on blue that was saying that they had up to 5 generators in their house she is very dumb for her mind she is on camera abi oloshi wat has her father done to improve this nation
I dont know why jona likes to disgrace himself like that. see him lying through his teeth and he thinks the world would not find out abi shame on him. yeye dey smell good chris saw through his lies in that interview shame
Suffering and smiling situation, we can't say all is well when it is not.This should push our leaders to do better so that when the west comes again , we can hold our heads high and say yes our president is doing well.
@ February 6, 2013 at 7:55 AM, the chic is yinka of sound city. Na so she dey form and talk sey she get 4 generators. She's always been like that.sHE FORM PASS ANYWAY, THOSE PEOPLE TALKNG ABOUT NOT SPREADING DIRTY LINEN, IN PUBLIC, THAT IS WHY WE HAVE WAHALA IN THIS COUNTRY. TRYING TO PROTECT GUILTY PEOPLE. LETS CALL A SPADE A SPADE. IF THESE LEADERS ARE LEFT TO FEEL COMFORTABLE ABOUT THEIR LACK OF VISIBLE RESULTS, THEN SITUATION WILL GET WORSE. THEY NEED TO BE KEPT ON THEIR TOES HOW HAVE OUR NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES ACHIEVED UNINTERRUPTED ELECTRICITY??

My God i can't stp laughing. I believe ridicules like this will make nigerian govt sit up. Bsides the lyt situation here in choba uniport is terrible still on d lookout for the improvement
If America is that perfect in all they do why was there power failure for 30mins in an all important event like the US Super Bowl in New Orleans. Lets America and Amanpour take Pandol to easy there own head ache and leave Nigeria alone!
lwkmd.... make CNN no giv Jonathan heart attack ooo... Naija sha, always on d news 4 somtin -ve, if its not internet scam, its boko haram, if its not dat 1 its Jonathan lying like Nigerians wont watch d interview... God will save us
We. Have nt had light for 3 weeks! Nd I stay in cbn estate, close to naval barracks and cbn training school!
OMG! see disgrace, GEJ should be ashamed of himself. Things are just deteriorating in this country. We need a total cleansing, according to what Pastor tunde bakare has said.
chai.. naija, una fall una hand ooo, which kine thing be dis???
Really funny I forgot to laugh kaka kaka GEJ step up ur game
I just watch the video. I can't stop laughing.
Mr. Presdo is a lier..........
It was Jonathan who challenged Amanpour to go and ask ordinary Nigerians if d power situation has improved and Amanpour did!
So now u c d dounle disgrace on Mr Pesident.
chei, i can't stop laughing, this is unbelievable ! Bet why GEJ ? These oyinbo people sef why do they like going to the slums in lagos/nigeria? i don't blame them, i blame our government. i'm so sure my lecturer would say something about this in class on friday. the guy just likes embarrassing me (all thanks to GEJ) Nigeria i hail thee!
Who paid dis woman oooo Dis 1 Amanpour is so concerned with Nigeria and Jonathan electricity issues, Who has paid her
Shame shame shame shame on u president Jonah
Pls they shouldn't dream of hosting super bowl in nigeria. Cos Nepa could leave power supply to charging generator owners for bad business. President goodluck shld stop lying he just don't know how to do d political public lie.
jonna should just die or be stoned to death! Kmt...oloribu
Chai, we don suffer!! Now how would I face my colleagues in the office tomorrow? And I'm always bragging about Nigeria.
LOL@ the sound of the generator
Choi!! Lol!
Jona will be mad ooo! Let's wait for Agbatib
Why is it that whenever African cities are shown on Western tv it's always the poor area but they never show slums in England USA and co on tv? Problem is our people are too ignorant to understand world politics. Yes power is a big problem but so us colonial sabotage!
You are stupid. At least we dint travel around the world killing people around the world for fake reasons
My felow Nigerians, its a gradual process... We need too start appreciating our leadears no matter what!
Let believe in dis project called Nigeria,to b sincere energy has improved,it may not b at d rate we all expect,example is Akute area in Ogun state,initially there wz no eletricity 4 days even weeks & not even xpected but now it is a daily occurrence,if just 4 few hrs and xpected daily
At least CNN is saying something if the local channels can't....I guess Jona is pleased with himself on the work he's done on the power sector, rubbish. Its either he's lying or he's just a LEARNER!
I didnt watch the whole clip because this woman has pissed me off and i would love to address her face to face and she would not get off scott free. How dare she? What agenda does she has against Nigeria to make such a stupid report? But let me move pass that and address some of you dumb inferiority complex Nigerians that cannot realize the insult she has heaped on you. She and the WEST are not out to help you- they dont care about you and/or your situation...what do you think you gain by airing our problems to these media outlets?? WHEN HAVE THEY HELPED YOU??? they dont care about you... dumb dumb dumb nigerians- you think the reporting of these reports shame our leaders into action? THEY DO NOT- I have yet to see that happen- they shame you and me common citizens.... we are the ones who have to explain to our foreign co- workers whether or not reports like this one are true....STOOPID Nigerians yall need to stfu and stop running to massa...SHAME ON YOU...no matter how you try to change your self, accent, location YOU ARE NIGERIAN..deal with it- make changes in your place and stop helping the West to mock you..imagine this stupid woman talking trash and some of you are hailing her report........womders shall never cease
OMG! See as dey open our presidents yansh If you live in London and you need an African chef to cook in your home here is the link http://www.gumtree.com/p/jobs/african-chef-available-for-indoor-catering/1007509408
Jonathan, IN YOUR FACE!!! Improved power supply indeed. Lie lie.
CHAI!!!!
Why don't the wealthy people invest in solar? It is more expensive initially but cheaper int he long run. The schools and public institutions should also invest in solar to take some burden off the grid. Wind farms would help too.
I believe some of these strange diseases and afflictions affecting even the young is caused from inhaling all those fumes from generators all the time. I can't see how that can be healthy for anybody.
U shuld come to agbowo ibadan and see the light situation for urself..u would be amazed as to ask urself if they actually believe human beings stay in this buildings or its just a stall for animals.there can be power outage for close to a week and to think that agbowo is in front of the premier university(university of Ibadan),it is also disheartning that it is mostly inhabited by students nd yet no light and bro jona has da audacity to say it is improving anyways#God dey.
Which Abuja? I live in maitama and ders never light!
Na wah for that babe that has 4 generators. She dey live for factory? She SHLD pls sell all her I pass my neighbor and buy sometin tangible. And yes I am beefing...
Really? Funny? D US diverts d attention off dem and d disgrace of wat happened in d Super Bowl and uses Nigeria as a sounding board and its funny to you? God help us and our pride! D US breeds psychos by d day dat go about killing ppl b4 committing suicide but have u seen dem abusing der country and president for it? Have dey even collectively fought to ban guns!? Nigerians we r truly not d worst country ever, open ur eyes! We d citizens destroyed our countries name not d west.
D other day in uk a foreign student from naija was racially abused by a white racist woman in a hospital dat she shld go back to her country instead of coming to uk to claim 'poor' and dat she was part of d reason why uk is in crisis meanwhile d girls tuition £13,000 is paid by her father! I read it on daily mail online and I quickly scrolled down to abuse d mofo guess wat? Dey wld not allow comments on dat particular article so go figure....but if it was in naija now d girl will even be abused by naijas. I rest my case...
OnPoint
My that's exactly! Trust Nigerians to join d band wagon as usual!
Gun killing has been on d rise in America and der economy is very bad, have dey killed der president? Dey even voted him back in! Nigerians learn to uphold ur country in social media! Dats why u'll have some of dese ppl from poorer African countries even coming on Linda ikeji to join and abuse us! Wen r we going to learn that dis is not d way? As a human being if u have d habit of insulting and making jest of ur self at any given opportunity den no one will respect u, but if with ur flaws u respect ur self while obviously working on ur flaws, no one can bring u down. Nigeria enuf is enuf! Lets clean up our name first by defending our country den go on d street and fight d government till dey buckle up and hear us!
OnPoint!
That becos Nigeria is bad.. U are one of the privileged few so its easy to request for better view of our country... Lagos, PH and ABJ and maybe KD are one of the few ok places.... Travel to other states... Den u wud know wats really happening... Even in states where there is light lyk Osun state its just bEcause the powerstation is located there.. Others, its just a sad story... Rick Ross did d right thing in his video cos dats d truth and Miss AManpour also is doing the right thing...
As much we know how things are in Nigeria,worsened by GEJ's clulessness,I say BEWARE of CNN.Rubbish!!!

"Please why do they only show the sums when showing naija,I beg they should know beta now hisss always want to portray Nigeria bad. Them no see fine area show abi"...
Comments like this is the reason Nigeria is the way it is! The pretense that everything is great when infact majority of Nigerians are starving...such a shame.
Who are you forming for? So they should show the rich places abi? Who are the people living there? and how many Nigerians can afford to live in the "rich" places? They go were the average Nigerian resides. If you are ashamed of the naija they portray then fight for a better Nigeria by revealing the falsehood. stop covering up
Make d light improve 4 lekki too na! Mr prezzo I spend 3k evry other day on petrol for gen, allow me save d money so I can buy a motor car na.
They shuuld not leave us alone. I stayed in UK for 16months, and I did not see the light blink for a day. Don't you want that kině of thing for your country too.
Did the President say things are better now or they are getting better.
But light situation in my area have improved considerably.
Nigeria una own 2 much abeg gej is tryin jor... Dis light issue is goin 2 tk years 2 b stable so una wey de expect magic make una relax
Thank God the western are now looking beyond the streets of the ill gotten riches of the politicians and so called rich men.
I strongly believe the GOD of the masses is ready to strike and fight for us because the more we get exposed to the outside world; showing how poverty stricken we are' then I can definately see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Current statistic still shows that, about 100millions are still living below a dollar in Nigeria and we are still kitting some people with well above 40million dollars for peace in Mali whereas our Country is in shabbles. What a shame!
Pple, let's be truthful 2 ourselves, if Ɣ☺ΰя transformer or cables are not spoilt, there's hardly any reason y U̶̲̥̅̊ shldnt ve power. Electricity has improved in most places if not all @ least better than d past govt. I don't think GEJ lied abt electricity cos we have light @least 20-23 hrs a day if d transformer doesn't ve issues and if it does, they fix it on time and I live @ ajah.
Wld luv if U can share d download link 4 ur videos,thanks Linda
i actualy watched it on monday##power az improved in my place too##wat mean MEN destroyed years ago can't b reBuilt so eaSILy in jst 2yrs..Nigerians r patiently impatient..let's give him more time##lagos was dis beautiful after 14yrs##dats a state..talkless of a country##
Loooool! Who be dat amebo albino girl with nyamanyama accent.she has 4 generators. Just like primary school lie "I have swimming pool on d rooftop" or "my daddy has 31 cars for each day of d month". Loooooooool.
^_^
We sabi dsgrace ourselves##and ds oyinbo ple sabi show d ghetto part of naija##and##d beautiful part of dier country
Yes..it az improved##u need to spend more time reading newspapers and less time watchin E!
Why not the slums?let's tell it as it is,where I stay in ikotun we have days on and days off and even on a "day on",we still don't v light so wat are we saying???
U are sad!##i knw where d nxt interview wld hold##2020##den,u wld b speechless!
Well I guess GEJ messed himself up. Someone asked me how I would have responded if I were the President; I told him dat Amanpour didn't specifically ask him about the Power situation. There clearly are other areas where the President could lay claim to achieving much (I'm cracking my brain to find out what aspects) without incuring the chagrin of Nigerians.
God bless You.....but after me##
And we are so foolish 2 swallow d bullshit dey say abt our country hook,link and siNkeR#
Why are they hell bent on reporting only the negative??? NA their work sha. But Jona! Jona! Dat Ruby man Abati no dey advise u? Lwkmd!
Nigeria aka the dark country still bragging giant of Africa? heheheheheh
there is no greater embarassment than this....God save our nation:(
Though electricity has improved in some part of Abuja n Benin bt sometimes u jst see dem misbhavin. I tink a prepaid metre will b d best so we know dat we r nt paying 4 d lihgt we dnt use. And I hate d fact dat dey had 2 go n sit down 2 compose all dose lyrics 4 Nigeria, its a pity n a disgrace. By d way is it only Nigeria in Africa dats having electrical problem, pls Amanpour should go n sit down n Mr president I ope u watch dis n put money in important project with trusted people or u remove dem.
The US has used us to clean up their mess...their Super(Bowl) Mess! All thanks to well meaning morosonto-idiotic Nigerians living in the US....mtchewww...what a way to use twitter!
Tell urself d truth my friend, america isn't perfect we agree, buh naija is not even half way near perfection.
Lord take control over dis nation
Please you guys are talking like jonathan started this power issue. This problem has been with us since the very first day of independence,now he is the only president who has actually done something about it after 53 years! Atleast some people are actually sayin they have power supply.All you talkers pls tell me in which regime you have evr heard that story? Abeg free the man joor! Nd just soo you know CNN doesn't always give the real story,they say wat they think will sell.Kapish
U re very correct!my man stays der.though they've started bringing light in d oda cbn,small small.don't think navy town has light too.its jus sad abeg.dat last tweet was too hilarious.lol
I don't need cnn to tell me if electricity has improved or not, the truth is that it has improved over the last one year, they can use their propaganda but I know what I know. Its a shame that you Nigerians can't defend your president, but instead you call him a liar. How did he lie? We abused super eagles but they proved us all wrong, this jonathan we abuse today, we will use our mouths to praise one day.
amanpour is arrogant and a snob.I've never liked her
Lmao.....jeeeeeez! Anampour funny die!
Who's that girl forming to have four generators with funny accent too cos she's on cnn?Abeg shift joor!
Lmao.....jeeeeeez! Anampour funny die!
Is Obama not a liar too!!!
Loool ewoooo hu tld him 2 lie lol!c him face cartoon character...
When ever I read this post it makes me laugh.. Nigerian are so used to suffering they forget the bare necessities.. 5days power supply as far as I am concerned is below par. Nigeria being one of the richest country in Africa should have passed the level of power shortage.. it is a disgrace. Shame on the president. They have be. Promising power supply for the past 35 years or more.. I have lost hope for that country..
Slum babe with 4 generators...*phonetics tins*
Oga o! Can u imagine! But dis is not fair! Using a phonetic speaking babe n showing d slum! Bad publicity for Nija
Jeez!... Like seriousely... ermm *clears throath* I can't believe i just saw this. Americans have a silly way the mock Africans,. they think we all live in trees like monkeys. chaii... twitter... pls my fellow Nigerians, its not by force to tweet or reply tweets. lets stop washing our dirty linen on the street. For once, lets be positive and support our president. Its not easy for him as well. He's human like us.
Where is the damage control team of GEJ. I advice them to eat humble pie and just allow this one to pass. It will be useless saying anything o
he said they are improving and not that there have been light everywhere everyday smh @nigerians
Amapour is officially obsessed with teasing GEJ & Nigeria... Hahahaha
This video is so hilarious! I'm laughing so hard I'm shedding tears! Wow! But seriously speaking, I think there is some improvement. I stay in New Bodija in Ibadan and I must admit we have better power supply. We are, however, so far from El Dorado!
see see wash oo lwkmd
Hehehehe! the next time Mr.GEJ decides to tell an "international lie", he will definitely think twice. God bless all those people that were interviewed. Just for the record, be glad I was not the one that was interviewed o. If I was, Obama will be forced to interfere! Loool! Electricity is better my foot!
LMFAO. Such Fuckery.
LMFAO. Such Fuckery.
WOW... yh nigeria has a long way to go in instilling development talk more of sustaining development. The shocking thing here was that they had a black out and they diplomatically transferred the focus to us, we owe them no explanation, nigeria is slogishly developing but it ain't there business. The last comment they read was carefully selected to play with our mind.
And can you notice the use of propanganda, d interviews conducted were done in a particular setting, then they show the dejected part of Nigeria...i question the inteviews conducted.
God punish amanpour.she is bn used by d so called social media activists.
Zinnia:
Men, I don laugh tire. See fellow Nigerians contradicting their president. What a huge embarrassment!
I hope when Oga Jon sees this(which I know he will), he will sit up and do diligent consultation before saying things he isn't aware of.
Isn't that Yeancah of Soundcity talking about having 4 gens at home?
Off topic: the man lack charisma; his countenance isn't infectious. He just bland.
B
This is hilarious indeed. I cannot stop laughing...
hahahahahaha, i can't stop laughing. This our government is insane. You can see the so called idiot telling a white lie boldly and arrogantly. the lie show so tee even winter smoke no gree commot for im mouth.
Really i just think it's high time these government starts getting this embarrassed.
KAI!
Amanpour has finished GEJ.
Where are his lapdogs: Maku, Abati and Okupe? Let them try and put a spin on this one.
If it's to attack Ezekwesili they'd have responded already.
Na so dis pink heads dey do o. Dey jst want to portray naija as a dead forgotten village.
Truthfully speaking, we are not yet there yet, however, electricity supply has improved tremendously in most parts of Nigeria, unlike during past regimes.
Pls let us all sharrap! U are in one small part of lagos,u see light 4hrs a day, and u call dat improvement.Why not call people in the villages and ask them how the state of power there is.CAN THERE BE LIGHT IN NIGERIA, THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, FOR ONE MINUTE, AT THE SAME TIME? We use the state of light in one part of Lagos and Abj, to do our math, while plenty pple are suffering in darkness( using lamps and mpanaka) in d oda parts of the country.
If it takes the likes of Christiane Amanpour to bring normalcy to power sector, so be it. We shld be happy that CNN is doing what our so called TV stations cannot do.I hope other channels like sky news, BBC can join them, let's see if it can make Jona, NNaji and co to sit up.
I'm very happy with this development, Amanpour, carry on jare!We are solidly behind u.
I closed my eyes in shame but wait a minute,Whats with Amanpour, i guess she is obsessed with our president,our power supply might not be all that good but its improving,what if we had no light at all?.. The American's should take a chill bill,after all,here in maitama they don't spend up to a 100k on light bill. mstewwwwww. rabbish
SMH
Amanpour's presentation is NOT totally true.
My area of Lagos -Alagbado- is enjoying incredible power supply these days. Its not yet UHURU, but there is good improvement. I can bet one of the people interviewed must have said something positive, which, of course, wouldn't be aired by Amanpour's western media.
Just the way they wouldn't show the VGC's of Nigeria, just the slums.
This Is Embarrassing, What a shame... What a Country.
Its a good thing. Nigerians should learn the word 'shame' and feel it coz we are a shameless country.
Let them show the slums,there are slums in naija aint there? The fact that you dont live in one does not take away from the reality of those living the slumlife.They should show your house in VGC abi?
Everybody sends their kids off to the US,UK and even Ghana to school while our own insttutions are rotting and bereft of facilities. You manage graduate nko? No job for you because the average employer wants to employ the 'akata' breed.

Here in osun state, power supply has been very good and improved, there's only a cut out if there's a problem with transformer. The electricity situation is not as bad as the comments of those people abeg.
Its a good thing. Nigerians should learn the word 'shame' and feel it coz we are a shameless country.
Let them show the slums,there are slums in naija aint there? The fact that you dont live in one does not take away from the reality of those living the slumlife.They should show your house in VGC abi?
Everybody sends their kids off to the US,UK and even Ghana to school while our own institutions are rotting and bereft of facilities. You manage graduate nko? No job for you because the average employer wants to employ the 'akata' breed.

Cringe !!!!!!!!
Oh dear indeed. This is embrassing. Who will dare disgrace Obama lyk dis if d tables were turned around? But at least in Nigeria, we know we are not perfect and say we make room for our imperfection by having stand-by generators **winks**. Unlyk Americans who think they are perfect. If say d power out surge happened in Nigeria, in 5mins, we go on generator sharparly.
Nelly Ib
Sigh presido na wa ooo
Why are some people concerned about what their white colleagues will think? Lets call a spade a spade. Isn't it true that constant power is a rare and scarce commodity in Nigeria?
Our leaders should continue to be exposed, humiliated and shamed in the International arena. Bunch of heartless thieves. Maybe this is what will actually jolt them to start doing what they were elected to do in office. Liars!
At least if d media in Nigeria cannot put our Bad Govt to shame CNN would,we In Nigeria are so divided that when a U criticise Govt people scrutinize ur ethnic group or political affiliation,our diversity shld be our strength,Pres Jonathan has tried bt He shld stop tellin lies
LMAO oooooo.Ye! see dissing.How can a president of a nation go on international TV to tell lies without mincing his word? Wonder how he will be feeling right now.Shameless man. Still laughing.
God bless ur heart! I'm so tired of how some Nigerians help d west to run our country down! I'm a British citizen, schooled and worked der before moving back to naija and I know how racist dey so r but of so I used to give it to dem anytime dey tried me...once a work colleague asked me weda its true we all live in slums, my answer to her was dat I wld rather live in slum dan wer I'm a target cos of my skin color or living in fear dat a peadophile will rape and kill my child!! Believe me wen i tell u she knew not to try me ever again...it irks me at how ignorant so many Nigerians are!
Lets say u have a child who is challenged academically for wateva reason and u r invited to school to discuss her progress, r u going to join her classmates to make fun of her or talk proudly of her while making sure u find ways to tackle d problem? Shine ur eyes nigerians and have some pride. I might not be proud of Nigerians but by God I'm so proud of Nigeria!! I am a proud Nigerian!! Nuf said!
OnPoint
What a country. This country can never move foward
Pls I'm not Nigerian but i have one question: does it mean dat every rich man in Ur countrymade der money thru a shady way? So u guys can't even boast of one Nigerian dat made der money single handedly and clean? Pls if its true den all u nigerians coming on dis blog to abuse ur government r big fools and cowards! So u guys just suffer silence? Wat a bunch of lunatics! U guys r making ur selves look like d joke of Africa, stand up to ur government u jokers lmao!!
I rarely comment on dis blog but I can't just let dis pass. I am not a fan of GEJ neither do I believe in PDP led govt but to u all sayin trash about d country's light situation lik GEJ should come overnight n mk everything that has been a concern to d nation for over 50yrs, it's ain't possible (You can't feed a starved child in a day- Yoruba Proverb). It's a gradual process n to say d truth d electricity supply in my area has bn fantanstic(new bodija Ibadan). Learn to appreciate wat's urs n 2 all d idiots dat tk to twitter @ least wen u wanna criticize do dat constructively. I believe in Nigeria.....Annie
In odo-olowu ijesha where I live,lite is a luxury,we neva have lite here I pray phnc does sumtin about our area cos am fed up
I am disappointed by the comments I have read from many educated Nigerians on this blog! Where is our spirit of Nationality? Haven't u heard that rome was not built in a day? Our electricity has been epileptic for decades and you expect it to improve in less than 2yrs? I'm not a fan of Jonathan, but truth be told, electricity has improved in my area. If we sit back and listen to ourselves speak, we won't talk this way again. Haba! How many of you talking will do better if you were in power?
Those hailing Amanpour are fools! No light for £) fucking minutes and she diverts attention to Nigeria! ridiculing our President and you find it funny? I work in the power sector. I know how committed this man is to improving the electricity situation in Nigeria. for * yrs, nothing was done! no investment! This man is putting standards and guidelines in place to ensure that investors have a level playing field and that investors are attracted to the sector and you all are abusing him? Do you all think it is easy to improve electricity? If you are an engr, you should know what it entails to generate, transmit and then distribute electricity. Go to the generation companies and see men, old enough to be your fathers, suffering to keep the lights on! Fabricating materials pending the purchase of new ones. Just so that you will have electricity even if it is once a day! Wake up people! Goodluck is not the best but in this sector, he is trying and you will be amazed at what he has done so far just that the lay man just wants to turn on the switch and see light! IT CANNOT HAPPEN OVER NIGHT!
A lot of things have to be put into place NIPP projects are coming up, IPP projects are coming up. Some of you do not even pay at all!
Are you aware that most barracks do not pay and you dare not take light in their area? What about govt offices, most owe PHCN. Can any business run like that? sell without making profit? You all sit down there thinking electricity is as simple as telecom! They are not same! Telecom is easier and simpler framework!
DO NOT LET THE WEST USE YOU AS A DOOR MAT! They are worse off!
I urge us all to go on twitter and tell Amanpour off for ridiculing our President and our country! have some pride ppl!
Well Linda! Yet another lot of Nigerians displaying their ignorance!, I don't know what you gain by encouraging ignorance on your blog. I can't remember Mr President saying there is constant power. He said it is improving. And if it makes you happy people, keep ridiculing yourselves with ignorance. CNN will always edit and show us what they want. Many people have testified that the power situation is improving here and the rest think the west has anything to offer them or even wish them. They want you to remain where you are as that suits them. If you are not proud of your country, no one else will do it for you. Pride will make you get up and strive to make it better. All these talks abusing the president and abusing your country only tells me that if any of you ever gets to the position of power, you would do no better. Those talks are indicative of corruption as you will also want to take a piece of the national cake and leave the country to go down; afterall no be you start am. The power problem has been years in the making and cannot be solved overnight. We are not the worst country in the world and America and co have deep rooted problems as well. I'm sure you don't know the level of poverty in these countries. It will take time but we should be proud and strive to do something. Whether you like it or not, we are the giants of Africa and stop abusing our president. CNN, leave the slums of Lagos and go to other towns and cities in Nigeria.
people are crazy!! dont people know its things like this that make the government keep up with their expectations... CNN is helping they should keep it up so that maybe things can change... their 30mins superbowl is our lives thats just sad
that woman is very silly...are we complaining? Rome was not built in a day!!! stupid idiots...their electricity failed and they r insulting my country! God punish their father! No be them dey bring generator into our country ? no be then dey sell petrol for us? i am sure if we start having constant electricity it will affect their fucking almighty Shell and Chevron, which will affect their country's economy...they r the corrupt ones, bribing to make sure electricity doesnt work in nigeria so that they can keep making more money...MOTHER FUCKERS!!!! I LOVE MY COUNTRY , ELECTRICITY OR NOT! NO PLACE LIKE HOME...PROUDLY NIGERIAN...proudlyslim
Choiiiiiiiiiiiii! Super Embarrasment. But that chic that was interviewed rep us well in her dressing, carriage and spoken english sha oh. Good girl!
smh
It's Toinlicious
@nsikan how do you know that? do you live in all parrs of nigeria at the same time?
Idung light is not something u read or search for... U shld be able to see it. Use ur house as a case study!
nsikan jona's voltron. allow people to air their views abeg!
*thinking out loud* 'We keep accussing the Western media of depicting Naija as a village by showing only the slums. So, my people, let us re-depict our nation by the use of social media Put up beautiful pictures of VGC,and other nice areas too, the numerous edifices we have, cinemas, malls, etc (dont be surprised if they think we dont have cinemas and nice malls).
seriously spesking the power supply has improved. CNN f*ckt up by showing the slums.
breathe people! haba why so much vexation?
som part of lagos actualy hav stable power,but zaria like som1 said has a terrebl power supply nd i tink its high time we stand up nd speak up for our right,cos environs r experincing good nd improved power while we in d main town r not.GEJ ur tryin but stop actin like as if twas all ur mastermind midas touch,uv stil got much more to do
Hahahahahahahahahahah!!
Kai, GEJ just displayed his lying skills live on international TV broadcast.....D guy shaaaaa #mouth zipped#
Fellow Nigerians let's call a spade a spade... Mr President never said that the challenges with electricity were over, he only said that electricity supply had improved considerable from what it used to be... and we all know that's the truth. We all know it can be better, but let's acknowledge the little progress made.
Captivity of negativity.... Have you ever seen an american foul mouth obama or clinton or bush???? Just asking...ђa̶̲̥̅̊Ԏ we call our Dog Ȋ̝̊̅§ its name.... NIGERIA Ȋ̝̊̅§ Where we belong let's make it big.... If its not working its becos of you and me....
Lol. So who is lying? Mr President or my fellow Nigerians. This is a white lie told by the President. God help us.
@ UgoBabbeeeee of course what we might say what the hell has she and the west got to do with Nigeria. But come to think about it; I'm not trying to be institutive, are by the way try to move forward or just floating around i guess you don't what the world is all about in today's world. The Real question i think you should have asked is you Goths had GEJ to have lied openly on an interview or whatever. As far as it shows the gorgeous lady didn't plead to people to post their opinion on line, neither did she say Nigerian should or must give negative opinion or their truthful opinion. i guess its your type who support bed idea and doings blindly. and i guess you should be wiser than this. You insult Nigerians for supporting the news, tell me how should wrong be put to the right? how can a corrupt government be corrected. From a government that claims openly that they are being transparent, when they are not then its most ok for people to criticize them especially when they lie a lot. Bro those days of suffering and smiling are over. you better start thinking "olodo" You better start calling a Spade a Spade.
Lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watched it on CNN yesterday, So embarrassing!
she has no right whatsoever to insult and mock our President like this and bear in mind everytime Jonathan is mocked internationally it us that is being mocked as well. I find it very insulting.
@amethyst_jess, y not the slums and to imagine your president going out there to say at least power supply in Abuja has improved? Abeg abeg abeg, is Abuja the only place in Nigeria mtschewwww. He was just responding to all questions like person wey no go school. Baba disgrace
Now its so glaring the level of President Jonathan's stupidity and incompetence
Listen to yourself @Nsikan. So I have to read newspaper to confirm that there's no light in ma area.. Anumpama..
SJ
Obviously the president goofed. I believe he relied on reports presented by his team of ministers and advisers who are just there to protect their jobs even if they have to feed him with lies or is it the case of what the president wants to hear. Nigeria is a complex entity that is even made more complicated by the current leadership at all levels.
Them quickly use us cure to divert their own mess up. But na we cause am. I live in Lekki & we never have light. I use a large chunk of my salary on fuel & maintaining my gen every month. Super annoying
U are sooo on point...100000likes
Judging from what this country was generating before GEJ came to power i think he has tried his best,OBJ left office when generation was 1,356MW,Yaradua came in raised it to 2,200MWin 3 years but Gej in just few years raised it to 5,000MW with hope of reaching 10,000MW by December this year.i think we are our own problem,there are many phcn workers who have vow to frustrate every efforts of the president.
NIGERIANS ARE LIARS ELECTRICITY SUPPLY HAS REALLY IMPROVED STOP LYING PLS
Hahahahahahahah funny
*chill pill*
Stop beeping if you can't speak the way she do, ask your folks to send you abroad
i live in jos and i must say dat power has improved drastically.people should say d truth wen tins r better and stop holding on to series of lies...GEJ is trying and I AM PROUD OF HIM.
hehehehehehehehehehehe
I support this comment!
Ivie oronsaye
I live in kaduna state and I can say we have light at least 20hrs in a day. Sometimes we have like for a week and there is no blink at all..light has really improved
Nigerians!!!, American is in their 200+ somthing years of independents, and dey still experience light off during their super bouwl,while Nigerian is just 51+ and has made dis progress, Jonathan is still d best 4 d past twenty years. And trully power suplly has really improved in my area.if we give Jonathan d chance Nigeria will be better . Let's stop dis wana be like American altitude!! And start improving in our own little ways. Amaka says so
Lol,the chick dey form Fone-_- but its true tho,i wish the nepa problem will end,soo disgraceful,*sigh* Nigeria we hail thee,Nigeria will be better,i have faith:(
Bottom line? Don't believe everything u see or read as News. So many people are without electricity for weeks without end all over the country. If it's not Kanji Dam water level is too low... then it will be too high. If it's not vandals, it is transformer has blown! There is always an excuse! Small scale businesses are struggling because more than what they make goes to buying petrol or diesel. Everyone, whether rich or poor is experiencing the hardship one way or the other.... the only difference is the rich have the means and oppurtunity to get more money to purchase petrol/diesel for their generators. What means do the less fortunate have?(by this i mean we who are not high enough in positions to make extra cash).
Lets all the realistic! if people don't put shame in our leaders they can never be ashamed as they think they have amassed enough wealth not to be ashamed.
They must begin to feel shame as leaders before they are moved to act! It is good that the world sees how a country with so much wealth(human & Natural resource) can not provide the most basic of infrastructure for her people.
The other day, we were all appalled as our hearts bleed for the gory sight of our Nigerian Police college and I personally, is yet to see any news report that follows up that article. So as usual, we will never know if there has been any changes whatsoever to the last report we all read. No follow up story. As sad as these reports may seem, it is good that other credible news agencies report that state of affiars of the Nigerian people who have cried and lost a lot and no respite is near. I am proudly Nigerian but my pride is within the confines of my home as once i drive out from my gate i am reminded i am still in Nigeria.
How come of all the countries colonized by the British who have some sort of wealth only Nigeria after 52yrs is without steady electricity supply, good road, good and functiong hospitals, good schools from Primary - Tertiary? How hard can it be to hear that our loved ones still in the village are enjoying electricity like you and I in the city? Are we not all tired? Oga Jonah? All these people who studied engineering and all those technical stuff and have graduated from college should have bright and fresh ideas on how to improve electricity supply accross the federation..........Give them a chance to input their ideas and see to it that it works.(Job creation) Most of the people you are working with are tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo old and don't realize that times have changed. They have lost all their patriotic spirit for Nigeria.
To my fellow Nigerian leaders (Federal,State and LG) Love your country!!!!! Love your state!!! Love your Local Government!!! Then try to make it the best in everything. It shall be the pride of her people and the envy of others.
A man or woman @ 52 who is yet to achieve anything is always perceived as a failure, hence Nigeria is being perceived as a failing clown. Rats like that footballer can open his unwashed mouth to yab us on twitter and some people here are saying how dare Amampour.
Nation! if we fail as a people, we fail as a Nation. Let us begin to tell our Husbands, fathers, Mothers,brothers, sisters, relatives, friends .... who are in power to start doing better things with Tax payers money. People like Sambo are not homeless, so his house project can wait a little... maybe 2015( since 2015 is our new due date).There are more important things to do and believe me, there are available people who will gladly do the job better.
Fuck CNN,my light has improved significantly.I haven't used my gen in atleast 3 months,pls someone tell Prof Nnaji i want to dash him my 60kva gen
From ur write up its obvious u've not travelled out much if at all, wen d US wants to show u a picture of New York wat do dey show u? Beautiful New York abi? D statues, manhattan etc, do dey show u d Bronx? D areas dat black poor ppl live in? Dat is called branding my friend.
Anon 11:07 am And why are you a British citizen den if you have so much faith in your country? Abegi, lemme hear word! If our leaders choose to be shameless, we, the citizens will expose them. Do you realise it is a thing of life and death. Y shut ur mouth and suffer? Now, he is forced to address the issue on Facebook and you think that is normal. same as the Police training school when it was exposed to the public. If the western world choose to hide behind the 'super power' thing. let them! We have no business with that, Our point is for things to be done right in our own Country and we will continue to expose the government and their skeletons till we get it right. Also your example doesn't hold much water. what If your husband keeps maltreating you both physically and mentally at home would you remain mum about it under the guise of he would change? Or expose him for things to get better. Let's just stop with the Western world and Africa debate and call a spade a spade.
CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR is originally from Iran, now Iran's electricity case is worse than that of Nigeria. that is why they claimed that the reason behind their Nuclear energy Power is to provide electricity (what is wrong with using gas as a source of electricity). Christiane should FUCK OFF and go and make a positive impact in the lives of iranian's and stop dissing Nigeria. what is the connection between a blackout in an Event in America and Nigeria.
IS THAT SUPPOSE TO BE NEWS ?
CNN no dey carry better news, why can't they focus on why light was off for 30mins during the game rather attacking Mr. President. They always show us thier good and try to cover up thier shortcoming.
o my gush!this is called "Oka ti fo GEJ" wow!!!
checkout this youtube page on generator in Nigeria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFXYVj2WUxc
for the president to go to CNN and lie blatantly is d uttermost disgrace even more than the epileptic power in d country. shame on him. plz linda i hope you let those at aso rock hear this. shameless leaders.
When are we going to stand up and defend our land? why must we continue to allow these people to drag our personalities in the mud? did they just fly to where they are, the tweets are an irony of what it should portray, these people make mistakes and they try to turn their incompetence away by alluding the fact to Nigeria's problems, whats the connection? THEIR superbowl game was interrupted because THEIR electric supply went off, NOT Nigeria's!!!
We will get there. . . folks.
Bad
@ Annonymous 7:01pm
Atleast they have what to use to cover shame.
Look at the so called high cost estates and big man area... they still suffer the plague the low cost areas are facing.
Poor town/ area plans, bad roads, no light, dirty with puddles of water, no drainage.... the list is endless. It will be a bigger shame should they show where the so called rich class live yet it is as horrible as every other place. What monuments do we have that they will show? what edifices do we have that they show? Nada ... Zip! Using the slums only draws attention to a problem in this case is seriously disgusting. even advertising agencies will tell you... Image is everything!
must of their result needs to be cross examined but one can actually celebrate them.
www.omobaone.blogspot.com
There shd b a problem in dat area.We can see d President is making efforts at improving our lot in power.U can see d distribution of poles and meters. Dat's a step in d right direction. Nigerians have got learn about Nation building and patriotism.We shd never abuse our leaders.Americans would never come out to do such.We shd hav pride,abeg! However,ds vid would make d Govt sit-up and shame its critics. America shd b ashamed that power went off in an event so important as the Superbowl using Nigeria as solace for their poor showing. That can neva happen here;power outage for over 30mins!!!shame!!!
He didn't say it was perfect,he said it has improved. This decadence he met and u all go about disgracg ur country....
U r very on pt! Some of diz ppl are so cowardly to admit.dey see electric poles, they see meters being distributed and dey knw if not a fault wt deir transformers, dey wd hav power yet d mumble and grumble.they would put on all d points they hav in deir houses and go to work and believg deir transformer would last for dem.Be wise Nigerians and add ur own quota to d growth of dis country.
U r shallow-witted.smh
Olodo! Don't u think ders a possibility dat he/she was born der? Or u think every Nigerian hussles for der passport? Lmao!
In response to Asaa's comment.
I have no doubts of how Mr. President is passionate about the need to fix this embarrassing issue of electricity in the country and I truly respect and appreciate that.
But, he should not have categorically made such a statement on CNN (of all places).
It is still a work in progress would have sufficed (In my opinion).
All I can do is pray for him and wish him the very best so that all his efforts would not be in vain as those of his predecessors.
Nigerians should learn to respect themselves. Respect the President, if light hasnt improved in ur area, it has in mine. Mr President is right. CNN cant put up all dark side of USA and more. They all look down on us and why must we accept such trash from them. All about CNN to Africa is Negative. Abeggy make i hear word
Linda haven't seen any of my comments posted here,kindly post this:Most Nigerian citizens in this blog are so daft,they do not show slums in Western tvs cos they don't have one.One of the major problems in Nigeria is poor journalism,appraising evil that the government do every day.You people better wake up and see the state the leaders left the country.Am so sure most of you that write bullshits here do not know how much Nigeria makes everyday in the oil market.Its 2b dollars,that's for oil alone,and this is what they declare so maybe more. ...So where does this money go to?no one would axe them for looting if they at least do the necessary things for the poor masses.I believe most of you that write rubbish here haven't been any where outside Nigeria to see the much gap,its disheartening because they are funds to do all this but the government leave this monies in foreign account/banks laying dormant while their citizens live in destitute. No good roads,millions of people die every year by road accident you people call witches and wizards,better wake up and see beyond black magics,the world is gone beyond the locomotive stage like you people see it..Didn't mean to insult anyone though,was angered after reading some comments from low minded individuals.
it wast even funny, the whole nation was disgraced on tv and those giving interviews to cnn, GOD help them.
Lmao...light has improved in some places for real...its only painful the world now knows our president as a liar
Lmao...light has improved in some places for real...its only painful the world now knows our president as a liar
Lmao...light has improved in some places for real...its only painful the world now knows our president as a liar
LINDA I JUST SAW THIS AND I MUST TELL YOU I AM NOT HAPPY AT ALL WE JUST DISGRACED OURSELVES TRUTH BE TOLD ELECTRICITY IN THIS NATION HAS ALONG WAY TO GO BEFORE WE CAN SAY UHURU BUT CANT WE JUST RESPECT OURSELVES BY SAYING ITS IMPROVING WE ARE GETTING THERE GRADUALLY.
C HOW WE JUST GO FLUNK OURSELVES FOR CNN AND THE BAD THING ABOUT CNN IS THAT THEY WILL KIP ON USING THAT CLIP AND TWEET.
MOST ANNOYING was that stupid girl on blue that was saying that they had up to 5 generators in their house she is very dumb for her mind she is on camera abi oloshi wat has her father done to improve this nation
I dont know why jona likes to disgrace himself like that. see him lying through his teeth and he thinks the world would not find out abi shame on him. yeye dey smell good chris saw through his lies in that interview shame
VERY FUNNY
http://applytojobs.blogspot.co.uk/
Suffering and smiling situation, we can't say all is well when it is not.This should push our leaders to do better so that when the west comes again , we can hold our heads high and say yes our president is doing well.
@ February 6, 2013 at 7:55 AM, the chic is yinka of sound city. Na so she dey form and talk sey she get 4 generators. She's always been like that.sHE FORM PASS
ANYWAY, THOSE PEOPLE TALKNG ABOUT NOT SPREADING DIRTY LINEN, IN PUBLIC, THAT IS WHY WE HAVE WAHALA IN THIS COUNTRY. TRYING TO PROTECT GUILTY PEOPLE. LETS CALL A SPADE A SPADE. IF THESE LEADERS ARE LEFT TO FEEL COMFORTABLE ABOUT THEIR LACK OF VISIBLE RESULTS, THEN SITUATION WILL GET WORSE. THEY NEED TO BE KEPT ON THEIR TOES
HOW HAVE OUR NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES ACHIEVED UNINTERRUPTED ELECTRICITY??
