African response to Ghana's power outage


Ghana experienced a nationwide electricity blackout overnight due to a power surge, the cause of which is still unclear .
People are commenting on the story on the BBC Africa Facebook page, reflecting on the experiences in their own countries.
Many in Nigeria are wondering whether it's news:
Ikenna Egboka writes:
In Nigeria this is not news because we sleep and wake up without light every night. Nigerians love this phrase so much: 'Nigeria go better'. I wonder when Nigeria will be better, I wonder when Nigeria well be like Ghana or even better than Ghana."
Bayak Luok in South Sudan has a similar view:
This happened just for one night? Here in South Sudan we have never had electricity in our life."
But Francis Omananga Mugowa in Uganda is more positive about the situation where he is:
We are safe and happy in Uganda in terms of power stability."
