The Story of BANDage: Nigeria’s Electricity Crisis – A Nation on Life Support
In this story, come with me through the quiet yet powerful metaphor of a country lying in a hospital bed, wired to flickering ECG lines shaped like electric cables, struggling to stay alive.
From the privileged hum of Band A estates to the candlelit despair of Band E communities, the story reveals how decades after democracy, Nigerians still ration light like garri during famine.
In homes, businesses, hospitals, and hearts, the lack of reliable electricity darken rooms as much as it dims dreams, stifles growth, and chips away at wellbeing and joy.
Yet, amid the sparks, shadows, and silence, people still light candles, whisper prayers, and wait - hoping the pulse of the nation will stabilize, even if just for a few hours.
Quo vadis? They say!
