Nigeria’s Power Grid Crashes Again, Leaving Citizens in Darkness

Nigeria’s power grid has experienced another collapse, just under 24 hours after the previous failure, causing widespread outages across the nation.
The latest incident occurred at approximately 9:17 am on Tuesday, resulting in numerous regions left without electricity.
This repeated failure highlights the ongoing issues within Nigeria’s power infrastructure, which has struggled to provide a stable supply of electricity for years.
The Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) took to X to notify customers about the situation.
They stated, “Dear Valued Customer, kindly be informed there was a system collapse at 09:17hrs, which has resulted in a loss of power supply across our network.
We are currently working with our partners as we hope for speedy restoration of the grid. We will keep you updated as soon as power supply is restored.”
This message underscores the challenges faced by electricity providers in Nigeria, particularly in maintaining reliable service amid technical failures.
This incident marks the second time the national grid has collapsed in less than a day, raising concerns about the stability of Nigeria’s electricity supply.
The first outage occurred on Monday evening, leaving the entire country in darkness and affecting homes, businesses, and critical facilities.
Many Nigerians rely on electricity for everyday activities, making these outages particularly frustrating.
The frequent collapses have led to increased reliance on alternative power sources, such as generators, which can be costly and environmentally damaging.
The situation calls for urgent attention from the government and stakeholders in the energy sector to improve the power infrastructure and ensure a reliable supply for citizens.
This ongoing crisis continues to impact the economy and quality of life in Nigeria, leaving many hoping for significant reforms and investments to stabilize the national grid in the near future.

“No Other Candidate Brings What I Bring to the Table” – Peter Obi Says

Peter Obi, former Labour Party presidential candidate, has declared that democracy no longer exists in Nigeria. Speaking in an interview with Arise TV, Obi pointed to the recent Edo State governorship election and the unfolding political crisis in Rivers State as clear signs that democratic principles have collapsed.
Obi condemned President Tinubu’s decision to declare a state of emergency in Rivers over tensions between Governor Sim Fubara and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike. The President’s move included suspending the governor, his deputy, and the entire State Assembly for six months, replacing them with a Sole Administrator.
Obi criticized the decision, arguing that no one should govern without a mandate from the people. “There is no democracy in Nigeria today,” he said. When asked why he plans to contest the 2027 presidential election, Obi said the fight for real democracy must continue. “Look at the Edo election — does that look like democracy? Rivers State buried the whole idea,” he said.
“You can’t fix problems by breaking the rules,” Obi added. “I’m still committed to building a better Nigeria. I have the background, the experience, and I’ve served in both the corporate world and as a governor. No other candidate brings what I bring to the table.”

WAEC Says English Exam Was Not Cancelled and Warns Against Fake News

WAEC has debunked rumours that the English Language paper written on May 28 was cancelled. The exam, part of the ongoing WASSCE for school candidates, faced serious delays at several centres across the country. In some places, the paper meant to start by 9 a.m. didn’t begin until late at night, leaving students to write under poor conditions, with many using phone flashlights and torchlights to read their questions.
WAEC explained that it received reports of a possible paper leak and had to act fast to protect the credibility of the exam. But contrary to claims making rounds on social media, the council made it clear the paper was not cancelled. In a statement by Moyosola Adesina, the acting Head of Public Affairs, WAEC said a press release dated May 30 announcing the cancellation was fake and not from the council.
She said WAEC doesn’t know where the false information came from, but suspects it was shared by individuals trying to create panic and damage the council’s image. The Head of WAEC’s National Office, Amos Dangut, also commented on the situation, saying the late-night exams held in some areas were far below the council’s standards.
