MARY REMMY NJOKU QUESTIONS NIGERIA’S PROGRESS AMID POOR POWER SUPPLY

Actress and producer Mary Remmy Njoku has criticised unreliable electricity supply in Nigeria, questioning why costs continue to rise while service appears to worsen.

In a social media post, the ROK Studios chief executive said her expectations had shifted from complaining about power cuts to celebrating whenever electricity returned.

“In my four decades in Nigeria, I’ve gone from complaining when the lights went off to celebrating when they come on!” she wrote.

Njoku questioned whether Nigerians were experiencing genuine progress or simply becoming more accustomed to inadequate services.

“Are we actually making progress as a nation, or have we simply become better at surviving our failures?” she asked.

She contrasted advances in technology elsewhere with her experience of electricity supply at home, saying people had moved from objecting to 30 minutes of darkness to accepting just 30 minutes of light.
