The state of power supply in Nigeria is really terrible and Nigerians have been lamenting. The power supply has gone from bad to worse in recent times.

Despite the epileptic power supply, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing,
Babatunde Fashola, is insisting on implementing the 45 per cent increase in electricity tariff.
Bad enough, those in power are not feeling the pain of the masses and the epileptic power supply does not affect them.
Many Nigerians are beginning to regret voting for the All Progressives Congress which promised ‘change’. Some are wondering how much will it cost Nigeria to install stable source of electricity and others have asked the government to stop sleeping and wake up to its responsibilities.

“ Nigeria is an experiment. We will never have electricity. Stop dreaming ,” Daviskil Domingo said.
Oládipò Kolawole Jimoh, a resident of Ile-Ife took recalled what Fayose said when the Peoples Democratic Party was in power. “ A serious government should fix power in 6months – Fasola over a year in power now…. Where are those Hausa guys that normally praise Buhari on social media ?” he questioned.
Also speaking, Ben Gagar Peter Jnr, a resident of Port Harccout, said the ruling APC was a shame. “ Buhari is a failure and a badluck. As always I don’t have light for close to 1month now fuel is high, food is high… Apc shame ,” he lamented.
