A Nigerian lady has lamented the country’s poor electricity supply, saying the situation has affected her work and caused her to lose job opportunities.
In a video shared online, the lady said she previously worked with foreign clients but often had to visit friends’ houses to charge her laptop so she could meet deadlines.
She said the electricity situation recently affected her participation in a beauty contest after her lights went off midway through filming a makeup video.
According to her, she had already spent money on makeup products and had completed part of the video when the battery powering her lights ran out. She said there was no electricity in her area to recharge it, while the available power supply was often too weak to run equipment.
The lady said the situation has also limited the amount of makeup and fashion content she creates because she struggles to film properly without electricity and adequate ventilation.
