Popular Nigerian comedian and content creator The Cute Abiola has openly criticized the administration of President Bola Tinubu over the worsening state of electricity supply across the country, revealing that his alternative power source has completely failed due to excessive reliance.

He specifically urged the federal government to urgently address the electricity crisis to alleviate the daily struggles of Nigerians.
What did the comedian say in the video?
Addressing the nation's leader directly, the skit maker detailed how the total collapse of the grid has overstretched alternative power installations in homes. He lamented the intense heat and the general difficulty citizens face due to the prolonged absence of grid electricity.
"President Tinubu, my solar is off. Please, for God’s sake, help us. My solar is off right now. Please, everywhere is hot. The suffering is too much. Please, there’s no light. Abeg," he stated in the recording.
Why are Nigerians complaining about electricity?
In recent months, households and businesses across various parts of the country have experienced persistent disruptions in electricity distribution, leading to widespread public outcry. The frequent collapse of the national grid has left many areas in total darkness for days, forcing residents to rely heavily on expensive petrol and diesel generators or renewable energy alternatives.
Energy consumers continue to demand sweeping reforms from relevant authorities, including the Federal Ministry of Power, to stabilize the sector and deliver reliable power supply to millions of Nigerians.
