My people, I no fit believe wetin I dey hear o! Di Ireakari community for Ilisan Remo don gather again, this time na for second protest within two months, all because of power wahala wey don dey vex dem since 2016. Dem carry placards wey dey shout say, ‘Gov Dapo Abiodun, save us from pitch darkness!’ and ‘IBEDC don fail us!’ Make I yarn you wetin happen for di protest.

Dem talk say dem don contribute over N11 million just to set transformer wey go fit carry light come their area. But what thing wey happen? Dem still dey live for darkness like say na Halloween wey dey happen every day. Chief Adeyemo Sofola, di community head, don dey rain frustration on top dis matter as e begin dey vex say dem don try everything to fix dis light issue but na only wahala dem dey get.

Sofola don explain say, former lawmaker Ladi Adebutu don even donate transformer for dem since way back for 2018. Dem check am, e strong, but when dem call IBEDC to come link di transformer, dem come tell dem say di transformer no dey fit work again, after dem don certify am. Wetin be dis na? Na only Nigeria we go see dis kin thing wey dem go tell person say something dey okay, only for dem to come change story later.

As dem protest, di Chief Imam of Ilisan Remo, Alhaji Sarafadeen Aderemi, come join dey talk how di blackout don scatter their businesses and life. E talk say di power wahala dey affect over 4,000 residents and dem don suffer too much already. Wetin dem dey use charge phone? Wetin dem fit use pump water? Biko, if na bad joke, make am end for there!

One of di women for di community, Mrs Janet Olaifa, no fit hide her pain as she dey appeal to di governor make he no carry body enter next year without fixing their light.
