For OAP Roby Ekpo, waking up to erratic electricity supply has become an all-too-familiar part of life in Lagos.
Frustrated by the recurring outages, he decided to take action the way many residents do by calling his electricity distribution company to find out why the supply has been so unreliable.
What should have been a routine customer service call turned into an unexpected moment of disbelief.
After patiently explaining his concerns, Roby was met with a reply that left him questioning reality: “better you switch to solar, there’s nothing we can do o.”
The bluntness of the statement stunned the popular Lagos broadcaster. “Am I dreaming?” he asked, sharing his reaction with friends and followers. For Roby, and many others, the exchange highlighted a deeper problem: residents are being left to fend for themselves while the city’s power infrastructure struggles to keep up with demand.
This incident reflects a growing frustration among Lagos residents who often bear the brunt of inconsistent electricity supply.
Many households have already begun exploring alternative energy solutions, including solar power, generators, and battery backups, but the burden largely falls on the consumer, both financially and emotionally.
Roby’s experience is sparking conversations online, with citizens questioning the accountability and efficiency of electricity providers.
While the remark may have been intended as a casual suggestion, it underscores a serious issue that the promise of reliable electricity remains elusive for many in Africa’s most populous city.
For OAP Roby Ekpo, the call was more than a frustrating exchange; it was a stark reminder of the daily challenges faced by millions who expect something as basic as power to run their homes and businesses.
As Lagos continues to grapple with power supply problems, stories like his amplify the call for sustainable solutions and improved customer service.
