Canada-based Nigerian Lady Cries After Experiencing Power Outage For The First Time

• A Nigerian lady who lives in Canada said she did not expect it when the lights went out in the region of Canada where she lives
• The lady said she even started crying after she saw that the light had gone for the first time since she moved to Canada
• She noted that after the power outage, nothing in her house was working because they were all dependent on electricity

A Canada-based lady said she experienced a power outage in the country for the first time since she moved there.

She said she never expected that power would go off in Canada but it did and the experience left her frustrated.

In a video posted on TikTok, Marb Vibe said the power outage rendered her redundant at home as she could not do anything.

According to her, she could not use any of the things she had at home since they were all dependent on electricity.

Marb said the reason for the power outage could be that there was a snowstorm in the Canadian province where she lives.

She said:

"If you think it is only in Nigeria they use to carry light, they took light for the first time since I got to Canada, yesterday. Maybe because we have a snow storm in our province. Omo, I now see the reason why developed countries can't do without having light. We couldn't do anything. All the electronics in our house became useless. We couldn't cook with our gas, we couldn't use our washer, we couldn't use our microwave."

Speaking to Legit.ng, Seyi Obasi, a travel consultant at Japa Systems said she has lived in Canada for seven years but she has only experienced power outages twice.

Her words:

"Yes, a couple of times and they usually last for less than an hour. Only twice and I have been in Canada 7 years. It's usually caused by string winds or an issue with the power company I guess but they never last. Some people have never even experienced it. Depends on the region you live in."
