The Digest:
Frustrated Lagos residents took to the streets on Thursday to protest persistent blackouts, marching through the Fadeyi area with placards and chants against "epileptic" electricity supply. Demonstrators, mostly young Nigerians, carried signs reading: "No more estimated billing," "No more epileptic power supply," "No light, no life, no nation," and "You're destroying, killing so many businesses; give us regular light." One protester was heard shouting: "We are not asking for too much. Make them give us light!" The protest comes amid growing outrage over power supply nationwide, with the Nigerian Youth Congress in Osun also condemning the situation. Industry leaders warn the crisis could worsen, as gas suppliers may halt supply to thermal plants over N3.3 trillion debt owed by GenCos, potentially deepening the shortage. Social media reactions mixed humor with anger: "Make I squeeze the person wey dey flash light every 2 mins for my area!"
