  "account": "Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has harshly criticized Nigeria's ongoing electricity crisis, questioning why the country still experiences unreliable power in 2026. The actress expressed her frustration over frequent outages lasting only a few minutes, leaving households to depend on alternative power sources. In a video posted on Instagram, Henshaw challenged the Minister of Power to explain the persistent outages, demanding an answer to the question, \"Come on, Mr Minister of Power. No light. There's hardly been any electricity.\" She also questioned a reported statement from the minister that some electricity consumers complained in September about their freezers freezing, asking, \"What's a freezer for?\" Henshaw demanded that the minister provide the names and numbers of these people who allegedly made the complaint, stating that many Nigerians continue to struggle with inadequate electricity. The actress also questioned the rationale behind calls for reduced power supply, expressing anger at Nigerians still expecting reliable electricity. Her comments reflect public frustration over electricity supply, with many households and businesses relying on generators and solar systems to meet their energy needs.",
