This is our identity!! How can we not show the world who we are. Thanks to china.

This is world cup with a DIFFERENCE.

How is this some sort of news? Is this the first time you folks are experiencing this in any competition around the world? What are you guys on? Expired Phensic?
Why do you all enjoy speaking this bad of your own country.

Light went off. . .ehn? Is that the end of the world? Was the match called off? Was light not restored?

they should have installed some solar panels and back up batteries. that way even when phcn fails, the match would have gone ahead uninterrupted.

It wasnt stated anywhere that there was power failure.Please read well before hammering on a country u belong to and wouldnt have been any better if given the opportunity to lead.

Even new equipment fails,the problem was with the halogen lights and it was just one and not all.

BIG shame

a little bit of our nigerian hospitality

LOL where is madam rebrand

idiots- light went out- it wasnt NEPA. Who will praise Nigeria if her citizens hate and abhor her so much?

@poster

While it's unfortunate, the prepared hardly suffer such,

Even lamp sef dey diss Us

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Ya'Ardua!!!!!!!!!!!!! 7 Point Agenda? haba. I dey fear ooooooooooooooo

Am telling u dis yaradua sickness is really affecting this country, Education sick, Election sick, people sick, refineries sick, nairaland sick food sick, PHCN con worst . . . . .

so tey floodlight self . . . . . . .
na wa oooo God time don come make u con helep us oooooo

IN MY PREVIOUS TOPIC ON NL I ASKED THIS QUESTION:CAN NIGERIA HOST AND RETAIN THE UNDER 17 FIFA WORLD CUP?
WHY MUST WE FALL OUR HAND EVERY TIME?

The fact dat there was power failure is not laffable.

What is shameful is d fact dat there was no planning.
If dey had planned,perhaps the light wud have bn powered
with gen through out the game.

Trust dem thieves,dey wud have hijacked d gen to dem house instead.

As per PHCN, don expect no good
reason being [b]P[/b]roblem [b]H[/b]as [b]C[/b]hanged [b]N[/b]ame (PHCN).

u guys should stop screaming haba it happened in south africa and ghana so 9ja is nt an exception.long live nigeria

My God! is it that Nairalanders choose which comments to read, and which to ignore?u pple just love bad news! how many pple have corrected this issue,IT WAS NOT POWER FAILURE!!!!!!!!some lights just went off!
please lets try to be positively Nigerian

It's such a pity that most of us are bitter cos of the experience we've had for over 10yrs with NEPA/PHCN that we're quick to conclude on issues even before we hear the true story.
How many of us actually watched the match & saw what the headline's referring to? Anyway, i'd say we're all just human cos i was thinking like most peeps in this room until i read thru most of the posts to identify what really happened. Well, nothin spoil cos i see a brighter future (I have a dream.  .  .)

God Bless Nigeria!    

Na today

. . . I wonder why we like pretending, we have been living with power failure for long, but una no want make the visitors know say power failure dey Naija? who we want deceive?

yea i watched the game and saw what happened, it happened twice. Nigeria will never stop disgracing themselves even in the International levels it is only God that will save us

hi guys,new on nairaland,
oops,no candle to continue the game, ;

It is rather frustrating and totally dissapointing the way we perceive our country. We have a stereotype but should we blow it out of proportion. We should give positive criticisms that will get to the right ears and enhance the situation.

It is our country - Nigeria and there is nothing we can do about it, no matter what we feel we cannot deny that we are Nigerians. But we can make a bold statement to disagree with the situation by posting constructive criticisms.

I believe in a better country, i believe in a better Nigeria. I believe in a better situation.

Thanks.

There's no use to be pretending to be who we'r not, we are 'LIGHTLESS' n no matter how hard we try 2 patch things up, it will still show, 

It's a big shame, somebody should be sacked for negligence of duty.

If you hide the fire, you cannot hide the smoke.  Nigerians will never cease to be who they were.

Don't blame them, oruko omo lon ro omo, PHCN Power Holding Corporation of NIgeria. They performed their function HOLDING POWER
What a shame      

What will separate Us from the love of Our Country, Nigeria? Not even light failure or "low current". God be with Nigeria as I continue to love Nigeria.

@ Elos Agos
I also love Nigeria, that's why I am still here, but we must learn to point at our mistakes and find a lasting solution to it.

abeg no kill me because i no fit laugh

That is no more a new or a talk any longer I knew it will happened because it has happened before so is no more a big deal. The stupid Mr motion raiser Senator who want to summon immigration boss on illegal migration in last week edition did not see that to raise motion about? He did not see bad road to raise motion about? He did not see our last match with Germany U17 how poor the pitch was to raise motion about? Pls light is off or on is no more news pls.

Nigeria will always be Nigeria. i said it and it come to pass. kai! Nigeria I hail thee

Could be they just switch over to standby generator.
