Mary Njoku Questions Why Nigerians Now Celebrate Just 30 Minutes of Electricity
Nollywood actress and filmmaker Mary Remmy Njoku has questioned why brief periods of electricity supply have become something to celebrate in Nigeria.
In a social-media statement, the ROK Studios boss contrasted her earlier frustration when power went off with her present relief whenever it returns.
She questioned why an essential service appeared to be moving backwards while its cost continued to rise, despite advances in technology elsewhere.
Njoku described the change as moving from complaints about half an hour without electricity to accepting half an hour with it.
Her criticism went beyond the outages themselves: she asked whether Nigerians were seeing real progress or simply becoming more accustomed to coping with failure.
