"No light no life" Lagos residents protest over frequent power blackouts (VIDEO)

Thursday, March, 12 2026 - Residents of Lagos came out today, March 12, to protest the epileptic power supply being experienced in the state. 

The protest is currently taking place at Fadeyi in Lagos State. 

The protesters marched, rang bells, and sang. 

"All we are saying, give us freedom," they sang.

"We're not asking for too much, make them give us light," another said. 

"Give us light, give us light," more protesters echoed. 

Some protesters held placards with their demands written on them. 

"No more epileptic power supply," one placard read. 

"Give us regular light. Say no to touch light of Ikeja Electric," another read. 

"You destroying, killing so many businesses. Please, give us light," was written on one placard. 

Other words on the placards include, "No light, no life, no nation, no try & error." 

And, "No more to estimated billing." 

For days now, Nigerians on social media have been lamenting a lack of power supply which has been compounded by the increasing fuel price that has made fueling generators more expensive.
