Is It Only Nigeria That Does Not Have 24/7 Electricity In The World? by Olumyco(m): 6:08pm On Feb 20, 2019
Hello guys I will like to ask a question

Is it only Nigeria that does not have 24/7 Electricity in the World?

For those who have travelled wide or have friends or relative in many countries do you know if out of all the countries of the world, Nigeria is the only country yet to have 24/7 light?

Many countries do not have reliable electricity or no access in large portions of said country.

In addition to the FTC, the reason we are angry at NEPA is because the country, federal government and leaders at all levels have the ability to ensure the average paying citizen can enjoy 24/7 electricity.
However this is not so.

Lol... but what is obtainable in other countries because when you check some countries around like Ghana, Ivory Coast etc they have light... but could it be that only Nigeria out of the appr 180 countries is without 247 electricity

The worst part is there is one presidential candidate who has the largest shares in generator imports, meaning he is one reason for our continued darkness, who Nigerians are clamouring to put into power.
It comes full circle: we the masses are the reason why we don't have constant electricity.

Indonesia the people with no power mostly rural, about 23 million.
Same with Pakis around 50 million now power. Most everyone in C. and S. America has power. However home electricity
can be expensive so people use it for the basics. As an example in very hot Caribbean 95% of people do not use air conditioning, they
use fans, because AC is expensive.

It shouldn't. But corrupt people dey everywhere. Many things wey no suppose hard hard for naija. Good roads, clean water etc. If we wan do am we go do am.
But people would have to put the interest of the collective above theirs. There are people making millions from our darkness. They would have to go out of business.

Overall a nice place. Not cheap though. Cost of living is pricey. Many of those islands they have to import a lot of goods. Bigger islands like Domincan Rep or Jamaica costs less to live there. Most food is local, most consumer products imported though.

I dont get.... just checking the population of Niger Rep is around apprx 18 million pple and if 3.8 million is without electricity then it is very low oooo. It means around 78% of the pple in the country has electricity. That's more like they have electricity there
