Nigerian comedian, Cute Abiola has taken a swipe at the Tinubu-led government over the deteriorating state of power supply in Nigeria. According to him, his solar power supply has went off due to excessive use following the low supply of electricity in his area.
Abiola has appealed to President Bola Tinubu over the persistent electricity outages, lamenting that even his solar power system is no longer providing relief.
In a video shared on social media on November 5, 2026, the comedian appeared visibly uncomfortable as he complained about the heat and lack of electricity. Addressing the president directly, he pleaded for urgent intervention.
“President Tinubu, my solar is off. Please, for God's sake, help us. My solar is off right now. Please, everywhere is hot. The suffering is too much. Please, there's no light. Abeg,” he said.
Cute Abiola also expressed frustration with the growing reliance on alternative power sources, sarcastically repeating: “Buy solar, buy solar. Solar sef dey off.”
His complaint comes amid widespread reports of reduced electricity supply across parts of Nigeria, including Lagos, Abuja, Ogun, Kwara and Oyo. The Federal Ministry of Power attributed the disruptions to a combination of maintenance work, gas supply constraints affecting thermal power stations and reduced output from hydropower stations.
The comedian's appeal reflects a wider frustration among households and businesses that have had to invest in generators, inverters and solar installations to cope with unreliable public electricity.
For many Nigerians, paying for electricity is only one part of the expense. Households are increasingly spending additional money on alternative power systems, their maintenance and the cost of keeping them running. Cute Abiola's complaint highlights the frustration of consumers who turn to private solutions but still struggle to escape prolonged power outages.
The question is no longer simply whether Nigerians can find alternatives to public electricity, but whether they should have to keep paying more just to enjoy a reliable power supply.
