Your Excellency Ursula von der Leyen :  

???? NIGERIA’s SURPRISING? INABILITY TO PROVIDE REGULAR RELIABLE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY ACROSS ALL NIGERIA ????

is a negatively surprising? astonishment?
to many persons around the world
considering that 

despite all that Nigeria ?? has been given by 
GOD 
and 
NATURE 
which many countries around the world do not have e.g 

?✅ a vibrant, virile, dynamic, enterprising population 

?✅ abundant natural resources 
and 
abundant minerals resources 
which have historically generated and currently generate
huge incomes for Nigeria ??

Nigeria is still
as at date March 2022
unable to provide
world class service delivery to Nigeria residents regarding utilities 

and
the instance of electricity
reflects this disappointing failure of Nigeria vividly. 

the Electricity Supply scenario in Nigeria is plagued
with some negative indices 
including, for example : 

?1️⃣? a high frequency of power black-outs i.e power outages 

?2️⃣? a disgraceful inability to provide
constant, regular, reliable Electricity Supply 

⏺ 24 hours a day 
⏺ 7 days a week 
⏺ 4 weeks a month 
⏺ 12 months a year  
⏺ 365/366 days a year 
⏺ year in year out 
⏺ every day  

across all Nigeria. 

in fact, 

Your Excellency Ursula von der Leyen, 

as i write right now
at circa 06:15 PM Nigeria Time
of today WEDNESDAY.16.02.(MARCH).2022 

there is an on-going power outage in
Oyadiran Estate, 
Sabo, 
Yaba, 
Lagos State, 
Yoruba-land, 
Nigeria 

which began at 
circa 08:15 AM on MONDAY.14.02.(MARCH).2022.

Your Excellency Ursula von der Leyen, 
?08:15 AM of 14/03/2022 
to 08:15 PM of 14/03/2022
is
12 HOURS BACK-TO-BACK OF ELECTRICITY BLACK-OUT. 

?08.15 PM of 14/03/2022 
to 08:15? AM of 15/03/2022 
.. if my memory serves correctly ..
is
an ADDITIONAL 12 HOURS BACK-TO-BACK OF NO ELECTRICITY.

?08:15? AM of 15/03/2022 
to 08:15 PM of 15/03/2022
is
YET A FURTHER ADDITIONAL
12 HOURS BACK-TO-BACK OF NO ELECTRICITY 

?08.15 PM of 15/03/2022 
to 08:15? AM of 16/03/2022 
.. if my memory serves correctly ..
is ANOTHER ADDITIONAL 12 HOURS BACK-TO-BACK OF NO ELECTRICITY.

in effect, 
Your Excellency Ursula von der Leyen, 
what it is
is that

from 08:15 AM Monday morning 14/03/2022
to 08:15? AM today Wednesday morning 16/03/2022
.. if my memory serves correctly ..
there was a Power Black-out that
has clocked  

12 HOURS + 12 HOURS + 12 HOURS + 12  HOURS  =
48 HOURS BACK-TO-BACK 

and 
which continued  beyond the 08:15? AM hour of today 16/03/2022
and

is infact actually still continuing

as i type right now
at circa 06:15 PM Nigeria Time of today WEDNESDAY.16.02.(MARCH).2022. 

Your Excellency Ursula von der Leyen, 
from 08:15 AM of today Wednesday morning 14/03/2022
to 06:15PM? AM of today Wednesday morning 16/03/2022
is
10 HOURS STRAIGHT of NO ELECTRICITY

meaning in real terms that
this currently ongoing power outage has thus far clocked
48 HOURS + 10 HOURS =
58 HOURS

and is very worrisomely .. still continuing.

there are rumours that this particular power outage
is not localized to
Oyadiran Estate, Sabo, Yaba, Lagos State alone

but is in fact nationwide i.e everywhere in the entire Nigeria.

rumours also rumour that this particular outage may last as long as
anywhere between 6 months to 1 full calendar year or more
before it is resolved, if? ever? as

there is a circuating rumour that
the Nigeria national nationwide electricity power grid has COLLAPSED 

and that
this COLLAPSE is the cause
of this particular currently ongoing power outage.

it is a wonder that
the entire national  nationwide electricity grid of a nation can collapse.

is it that there were no warning signs ?  
or
is it that all the warning signs were ignored ?
