‘We now celebrate 30 minutes of light’ — Mary Njoku on Nigeria’s electricity crisis
Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Mary Njoku, has condemned Nigeria’s electricity situation, saying the country has regressed to a point where citizens celebrate just 30 minutes of power supply.
Njoku, in a social media post, questioned how a country could move backwards on such a basic necessity while electricity costs continue to rise.
Reflecting on her four decades in Nigeria, the actress said public expectations had changed from complaining about power outages to celebrating whenever electricity was restored.
“In my four decades in Nigeria, I’ve gone from complaining when the lights went off to celebrating when they come on!” she wrote.
She further questioned whether the country was making progress or simply becoming accustomed to its failures.
