Nigeria appears to have been hit by system collapse to the national grid, according to reports from across the country.

Several social media users reported seizures of electricity to their areas starting Friday night. It was unclear when the collapse first occurred, but some of the earliest posts on Twitter were at about 11:30 p.m. Friday.

Users from Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, Ile-Ife reported power failures in those cities around the same time — an indication typical of a national grid downtime. A user from Owerri, however, reported power availability as of 12:25 a.m. Saturday.

What triggered the massive failures could also not be confirmed as of 6:00 a.m. Saturday. A spokesperson for the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) did not immediately return a request seeking comments.

The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company acknowledged the breakdown in a tweetstorm to a barrage of complaints on its Twitter handle Saturday morning, pleading with consumers to be patient.

May be Lagos people go worry but sure here we don't even know if Nigeria has a national grid or power. It has been what it use to be.

Pay bills for services not consumed.

The outage marks the later reminder that the Nigeria’s power infrastructure remained largely precarious, despite decades of huge investments and policy revamps. At least eight major collapses that plunged substantial parts of the country into darkness have occurred in 2019 alone.

In May, a system collapse that affected most parts of the country took about 72 hours to restore. The collapse saw power generation output drop to 230 megawatts nationwide, down significantly from the 4,032 megawatts the day before the collapse on May 8.

The TCN said the outage was unavoidable at the time and promised a better management of the electricity infrastructure that would prevent future collapses. But several outages have been reported since then.

Here are reports from Twitter users from across the country on the latest collapse of the national grid.

D guy is actually right, revolutions do not have identifiable leaders until it reaches an advanced stage or theres need for negotiations.
Sowore must have meant a protest, because revolutions are never pre-planned in d manner he went about it, even promoting it online.
Becos of the current demography in Nigeria, a successful revolution can only start from the north and it can only lead to a break up of the country or a new constitution as a change of government will not be attainable nor solve nothing.
George Orwell must have had us in mind when he wrote ANIMALS FARM

Nigeria is on night mode blackout mode again, as part of the government's effort in upgrading the country's OS. No first-world country has successfully achieved this feat.

One of those rare moments you feel honoured to be a Nigerian, I'm so emotional right now.
If you pass through life but you ain't a Nigerian, wetin you gain?
Nigeria always setting a pace, hard for any other to match.
