In the video, the young Nigerian contrasts Ghana's reliable 24/7 electricity with Nigeria's chronic power outages, where generators are a staple of daily life.
He is seen standing on a brightly lit street in Ghana at night, delivering a passionate yet humorous remark about how stable Ghana’s power supply is compared to his country’s situation of “one place off, one place on.”
In his words:
“Make una see Ghana o! Ghana wey dey near us o! Can you see lights? See lights, like galaxy!”
Nigerian man comments on Ghana's 24/7 electricity
The man’s central point was the apparent lack of need for power generators, which are common in Nigerian households. He also joked that if someone tried selling generators in Ghana, they would make no sales.
He said:
“Dem no dey even dey sell gen for Ghana. If you sell gen for Ghana, you no go even sell anything. Nobody go buy.”
He went on to lament that in Nigeria, life is a mix of “half light, half gen, half darkness.”
Taking on a more serious tone, he made an emotional plea to his fellow Nigerians back home. He implored the Nigerian government to do better, noting that such a standard of consistent electricity is clearly achievable.
“This is just Ghana here. Nigeria, we can do better. Isn’t it so beautiful? See the lights. Even for village, dem still get light,” he said with a sorrowful heart.
The man’s comments resonated deeply on social media, particularly among Nigerians who have long expressed frustration over the country’s persistent power challenges.
His spontaneous review served both as a commendation of Ghana and a powerful call to action for improvement back home.
