Ghana’s power crisis not serious, in Nigeria, we would have jubilated - Nigerian comedian

Popular Nigerian comedian Parrot Mouth has said that Ghana's recent power crisis is far better than what exists in his home country.

According to him, Ghanaians should appreciate the fact that they have light for several hours before it goes out because the situation is worse in Nigeria.

He stated that in his country, it is very rare to experience a stable power supply for two hours due to the poor nature of their electricity system.

Parrot Mouth noted that the erratic power supply that Ghanaians are furious about is something that they (Nigerians) would have celebrated.

"The thing [power outage] that we [Nigerians] will thank God for is what you people [Ghanaians] are angry about. For example, [in Ghana] when the light goes off, some people will get it in the morning while others have it in the evening.

"In Nigeria, if they turn on the light for two hours, we will call them to take it back because the moment it goes off, it can last for 40 years. If we get light for an hour, we thank God. Due to the situation, we contribute money to purchase generators for electricity. I would say Ghana is a lovely country," said Parrot Mouth on Hitz FM.

In recent times, numerous complaints have been made by people, including stalwarts of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), about the unstable nature of the power supply in some areas.

Meanwhile, during the State of the Nation's Address (SONA) on February 27, 2024, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo stated that his administration deserves to be applauded after having avoided 'Dumsor' (power outage) for seven years since he assumed office.
