A Nigerian man, General Snow, has filed an application with Guinness World Records to recognize Nigeria as the country with the most national grid collapses in a single year.
With 11 collapses so far this year and a possibility of more, General Snow believes this “remarkable statistic” deserves official recognition. He shared his application letter on social media, sparking varied reactions.
Some commenters supported his move, citing the country’s notorious power outages, while others deemed it disrespectful.
@JpChidiOkoye1: “The current minister of power in Nigeria is useless man. Zero brain.”
@pointzero_088: “As much as I do t line the power outages and strongly believe a lot more can be done to remedy the situation, it is extremely disrespectful to Nigeria to do this. We have to stop this kind of stunt, please.”
@onlyonejega: “As a Nigerian that have lived for more than 25 years, I’m in full support of mr @generalshow_ As a matter of fact to back up is claim i can say I’ve never experienced a month straight full electricity supply. Many more to say but we really deserve this award.”
