So I was reading a news online when I came across this news on Bloomberg, then I got the shock of my life. So apparently the power generation company in Germany produced a lot of power more than they need that if people dont use the power, It might shut down the plant, so in other to avoid that, they were willing to pay people to Use (waste) the excess power generated. Now this got me thinking, What the Hell is wrong with us in this part of the world?

This is a real sad news to me considering the fact that in our country here we don't get the light and we still pay for what we did not use
What a pity Nigeria

Working Nation. While they're paying their citizens to consume power, we pay and beg them to give us power in this part of the world.

Electricity has always been the campaign strategy every administration has used in Nigeria to wheel political power but yet, we're still in the doldrums. SMH.
What an IRONY.....Here in Nigeria, we pay for the Electricity we don't see or use, they call it ESTIMATED BILLS.

While somewhere around the World, it's a diffgood ball game.

The problem with Africa is me n you, who for tribal reasons chose an old man, close to his grave to be our president.

the problem lies on those ppl who are still confident that Buhari will be a Messiah come 2019.

Nigerians are their own problems but let me use this opportunity to call Buhari or Jubril...
