Air Peace, this is unacceptable.

Passengers (including elderly people) have been stranded since 6:30AM at London Gatwick Airport with no proper communication.

A power official in Bayelsa State has blamed residents for erratic electricity supply, saying they overload the grid by using too many appliances when power is restored. In a viral video, Innocent Lord-Douglas of the SSAEAC explained that once residents see light, they turn on freezers, washing machines, and pumping machines, consuming a week’s energy in just one hour. Nigeria’s grid struggles with only 4,000-6,000 megawatts for 200 million people.

Key Points:

The official’s comments have drawn widespread mockery online.
Bayelsa remains in darkness despite being an oil-rich state.
A new gas turbine was promised for Bayelsa by 2026.
Some defended the official’s explanation as a technical point on demand surges.
The video has sparked debate about Nigeria’s power sector crisis.

Many Nigerians see the response as tone-deaf amid persistent electricity shortages.
