hello everyone!
I'm Manat, a Nigerian expatriate 🇳🇬
This time, I'd like to move away from the topic of gloves and talk about my actual experiences living in Nigeria.
"Nigerian thing"
I would like to introduce it to you! 😮
That's... what you need to do when there's a power outage in Nigeria! 🇳🇬
In Nigeria, when there is a power outage, not only does the electricity go out, but often the water is also cut off. 💧😱
In other words, I can't use the toilet or take a shower (or bathe)...! 🚽🚿❌
So what do we do in those situations? We go outside with a bucket, fill the tank with water, and bring it back to our room to use.
They use it to flush the toilet and wash their bodies instead of taking a shower, so their life relies on manual labor.
Actually, this happened again recently...and it continued like this for over two weeks.
Moreover, the temperature outside was over 35℃ every day. It was quite hard!
In Japan, this might be considered a disaster-level incident, but here it's just "a common occurrence!" 😅
Nigeria is a country where lifelines are still not stable.
It is said that it will develop in five years, but will that really happen?
Thank you for reading to the end! 🙏
I would like to continue to share these real-life aspects of life in Nigeria from time to time, so please continue to follow me!
