President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration has been termed
a ‘pandemic’ as the national power grid collapsed amid diesel and fuel price
increase in the nation.
In the past few months, the plight of Nigerians have
heightened as price of diesel increased to N700/N800 per litre, fuel scarcity
lingers despite the lack of electricity supply.
Students are not left out in the suffering as the Academic
Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, extended its strike for another two months.
Allen Onyema, the Chief Executive Officer of Air Peace, also
revealed that Nigerians will pay N85,000 for flight tickets despite the new
deal between oil marketers and the Airline Operators of Nigeria.
Nigerians took to social media to express disappointment in
a government that promised change but ended up worsening the economy.
They demanded that Buhari finds a permanent solution to the
national grid collapsing every quarter, ASUU strike, petroleum products
scarcity as well as restoring the economy.
Here are some of the comments gathered from Twitter;
@Cchukudebelu “How many times have we had a “total system
collapse of the National Grid” this year?This is the “Federal Republic of
Institutionalized Incompetence, A nation in terminal decline.”
@Anthony_Fedora “It’s year 2022 and the price of petroleum
products have skyrocketed, fuel scarcity across the nation, devastating loss of
human lives and properties, same government that shot citizens during EndSars
protest and today, the national grid has collapsed completely.The Buhari
pandemic.”
@Nefertiti “Electricity Generation is at all-time low since
1999. Blackout in major cities is biting. National Grid slumped to 1,320
Megawatts since February. How much did Buhari spend on Electricity Generation
in 7+ years? Airlines will shutdown in three days. NNPC won’t give them license
to import JetA1. Buhari is Petroluem Minister, London Branch. JetA1 fuel is
N670. Abuja-Gombe flight stop at Kano to refuel. One leg flight is N50K. At
N210, fuel is still scarce. No light, National Grid has collapsed.”
@Timi_Toye “In the history of Nigeria, things have never
been this bad to be honest. National grid has collapsed, 8th week of fuel
scarcity, airlines shutting down due to no aviation fuel, ASUU going on strike,
police to embark on strike, and our president is not even in the country nor
bothered.”
@Olumuyiwa “Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, Vice President at a time
where we’re only recovering from eight weeks of fuel queues, facing a collapse
of the national grid and a 2 month-long ASUU strike says he’s running for
President to change things. Naija Na comedy.”
@Islimfit “The National Grid in Nigeria collapses almost
every quarter. Is it held by the tip of a thread? Even Ukraine with all the
bombing and shooting, still has light.”
@Oserume1 “7 years of APC, national grid is still
collapsing. I thought Fashola has solutions to fix power? Audio fixing, audio
solutions!
@IamTheIroko “No fuel in the land, no diesel, no aviation
fuel, incessant national grid collapse, insecurity at its peak, economy
paralysis, ASUU strike, epileptic health care, no roads, highest inflation and
the man who is the head of the economic team with such a record wants to be
President.”
@FS_Yusuf “This government can’t continue to announce to us
that National Grid is collapsing, almost every quarter. In a year, the National
Grip would collapse more than 3 to 4 times. What is that impossible technical
issue that can’t be fixed once and for all? What kind of a country is this!
@BabayodeAdebayo “Is it every day National Grid Collapse in
Nigeria! we should change this is getting too much to bear no fuel no light no
Dessel and some group of people are happy the way masses are going through this
God will Judge every accordingly.”
