Popular comedienne, Helen Paul, has urged Nigerians to be calm and patient with the current state of the nation’s electricity, noting that it was necessary to commend the government for its efforts and find a better way out of any situation instead of complaining.
In a chat with the Punch, the popular rib cracker said, “I think the government is doing enough to make electricity stable in the country. Of course, they have been trying their best since 1960. We need to commend their efforts towards ensuring stable power supply in our homes. Let’s just keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.”
She suggested an alternative power supply for Nigerians to use in their homes, saying, “Everyone should buy generator. This is the most reliable alternative source of electricity that I know for now. Once you have fuel in it and you can maintain it, you are good to go.
“The solar panel system I have is not really effective for now. For example, the one I use in my home, once dust gathers on the panel outside, it stops working. Also, if it rains, it won’t work. Talking about the inverter, it has to be charged with electricity before it can store some energy.
“Considering all these problems, generator is still the best alternative source of power. Whether there is sun or rain or dust, generator will keep on working, she added, listing her alternative sources of electricity used in her home as generator, solar panel and inverter.
“If all these stop working, I don’t know what I’m going to do,” she added.
