From productivity to paralysis: my journey through Nigeria’s infamous power outages.

This week was a tough one. I didn’t perform at my best, and failure seemed to lurk around every corner. Pressure mounted, and I struggled to cope. Disappointment hit me hard, and I felt overwhelmed.

Monday began like any other day. I went to work, stayed productive, and tackled my tasks. But little did I know, a storm was brewing. Nigeria’s infamous unpredictability had finally caught up with me. I was taken aback by the circumstances surrounding me, feeling helpless and awestruck.

As the days unfolded, my situation only grew more challenging. By Monday evening, I found myself contemplating impossible solutions, desperate to escape the struggles. The darkness that enveloped me, both literally and figuratively, seemed insurmountable. That night, as I lay in bed, tears streaming down my face, I wondered if it was the end.

As a social media manager and creative writer, staying connected and producing content is crucial. But with no electricity, dead phones, and a faulty generator, I was crippled. The internet, usually my lifeline, seemed to be working against me.

This experience taught me a valuable lesson: always prepare for the unknown. Tomorrow’s uncertainties can catch you off guard, so stay ahead of the game. This week’s struggles may have left me battered, but they also left me wiser.
