Why His NEPA Prayer Points Are Different
Speaking in an informal tone peppered with Pidgin English, the man directed his message at anyone who might share the same prayer points about NEPA, the Nigerian electricity authority, with him.
His argument was simple: the moment you looked at his shop overflowing with phones and gadgets all plugged in and drawing power, it became obvious that he benefitted from lack of power supply in the area
"Now which kind prayer where you get concerning NEPA and which kind prayer where you feel me?" he asked, gesturing around at the shelves behind him.
Charging Business Thrives on Nigeria's Power Crisis
The video taps into one of the most persistent frustrations in Nigerian daily life.
Nigeria's electricity grid has long struggled to meet demand, with millions of households and businesses experiencing prolonged outages on a regular basis.
For entrepreneurs like the man in the video, however, that same crisis has created a steady stream of customers who need their phones and devices topped up.
