“Worst Power Failure Ever”: Comedian IGoSave Cries Out Over Nigeria’s Collapsing Electricity Supply
- Comedian IGoSave has voiced his frustration over Nigeria's deteriorating electricity supply, describing the current situation as the worst power failure he has witnessed in his lifetime
- The entertainer stated that government facilities enjoy constant power supply through solar, inverters and generators while ordinary citizens endure weeks and months without electricity
- IGoSave's message sparked mixed reactions online, with some Nigerians agreeing that electricity has become unreliable, while others insisted that power supply has improved
Veteran Nigerian comedian Otaghware Otas Onodjayeke, popularly known as IGoSave, has raised an alarm over the worsening electricity situation in the country.
On Tuesday, March 17, he took to Instagram to lament that many communities across Nigeria have been left in darkness for weeks, months, and in some cases, even years, making life and business extremely difficult.

He explained that the current state of power supply is the worst he has experienced since birth, stressing that businesses depending solely on government electricity are struggling to survive.
“Since birth as a Nigerian, these past few years are the worst of power failure of all times,” he wrote.
The comedian also criticised the gap between how government institutions handle electricity and what ordinary citizens face daily.
He pointed out that while Aso Rock has installed solar and inverter systems, the Ministry of Power and other government houses rely heavily on generators.
The comedian further alleged that family members and associates of officials are often the ones supplying diesel or handling generator contracts.
“Aso Rock has installed solar/inverter; Ministry of Power uses generator; most government houses are powered by generators, and their family members or friends are the diesel suppliers or contractors,” he stated.
Ending his post with concern, IGoSave questioned whether Nigerians would ever enjoy stable electricity.
“Are we ever going to have stable electricity?” he asked.
