Accès à l'électricité au #Nigeria, pays producteur de gaz et de #pétrole : Le documentaire d'Arte est vraiment bien réalisé, sans voix off, très complet sur les impacts des pénuries surtout les aspects de la vie, de la cuisine quotidienne à la conservation des morts a la morgue.

[ARTE Presse @ARTEpresse]

Das entscheidende Endspiel verfolgen – keine Selbstverständlichkeit in Nigeria. Die unzuverlässige Stromversorgung schürt die Wut der Bevölkerung, die sich durch hohe Stromkosten und die Untätigkeit der Regierung potenziert. Ein Stimmungsbild auf @ARTEde.

[Alice Echtermann @echt_alice]

Als ich in Lagos war, fiel jeden Tag der Strom aus. Die Gründe sind sehr interessant. Ein Öl-Land ohne Gas für Strom. TV-Tipp: die @ARTEde Doku "Es werde Licht in Afrika" begleitet u.a. Mitabeiter der Strombehörde NEPA, wohl mit die meistgehassten Menschen in #Nigeria...

[Alice Echtermann @echt_alice]

Anekdote: die NEPA (National Electric Power Authority) heißt schon sehr lange nicht mehr so sondern PHCN (Power Holding Company of Nigeria). Alle Nigerianer reden aber weiter von NEPA = "Never Expect Power Always" oder auch "Never Ever Power Again"

“In #Africa falling costs, ambitious targets, innovative projects and the support of international partners are driving #RenewableEnergy. However, despite the opportunities, the fossil-fuel economy has proven to be a BIG test of Africa’s commitment”.

[Take Light ⚡️ @TakeLightFilm]

"These stories are also central ways of discussing power and its machinations in Nigeria, and the ambiguity and ongoing questions are perhaps the most important takeaway of Take Light’s careful exploration of a range of everyday voices." https://t.co/069bi6fH3E

[Africa Is a Country @africasacountry]

"Electric volatility in many ways defines the contours of possibility in everyday life and death in #Nigeria, determining how and when people move, the tasks that can be accomplished in a day, entrenched classed cartographies of access and exclusion ..." https://t.co/TLCLEYKdKL
