A Nigerian woman has been left in tears after a power outage reportedly caused more than 50 bottles of tiger nut drink she prepared for customers to go bad.
In a video shared online, the small business owner revealed that she had been without electricity for over three days, making it impossible to keep her products cold in the refrigerator.
She explained that the drinks were already bottled and ready for delivery, with customers expecting their orders that day.
The woman said she thought about buying petrol to run her generator and save the drinks. However, she became concerned about the cost, especially since she could not tell how much profit she would make from the sales.
She also expressed frustration over the high cost of running a small business in Nigeria, noting that even access to basic needs like electricity had become a major challenge.
The visibly upset woman blamed poor infrastructure for making it difficult for ordinary Nigerians to earn a living. She also accused political leaders of failing to tackle the problems affecting citizens.
She further questioned those planning to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election because of tribal or personal political interests, urging them to consider the hardship Nigerians are facing.
She explained that her tears came from frustration and anger over what she described as systemic failures affecting people struggling to build a livelihood.
