Having relocated to Ghana in July last year, the lady lamented that she had been experiencing frequent power cuts, something which was not the case when she first arrived.
"I have been having issues with the power in my community a lot recently to the point that it’s becoming almost an everyday thing, and it’s going off for hours at a time.
"I’m not sure, well, I’m sure it has much to do with current conflicts, but this is actually crazy. Something that used to happen once in a blue moon is now happening almost every day."
She explained that as someone who works from home, the power cuts are negatively impacting her, as she sometimes uses her phone as a source of light.

"The fact that this is happening every day and I’m supposed to get on calls for my community, I’m supposed to be working from home, I have to use my other phone as a light. What is going on? Have you been having issues? All my people in Ghana, what’s been going on? This is getting crazy,” she said in the video.
At the time of writing this story, the video had allegedly raked in over 34,000 likes and 1,000 comments.
