Kate Henshaw Slams Power Minister Over Persistent Blackouts

The ongoing electricity crisis in Nigeria has angered Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw.

In a post on her Instagram page, the actress expressed her annoyance.

Joseph Tegbe, the Minister of Power, was criticized by Henshaw for the fact that power is typically restored for a brief period of time before going out once more.

She wrote: “Mr. Minister of Power, no light. There is no light. There’s hardly been light. You will bring it maybe five minutes and then it’s gone.

“You were credited with a statement that in September some people were telling you that you should turn off the power, that the things in their freezer it’s freezing what’s freezer for for cooling and watering down like the lies you people tell.

“I need the names and numbers of these people that called you. They said you should turn off the lights, or you should slow down or whatever it is you imagine they told you. There’s hardly electricity in 2026.

“We are still talking about electricity. I’m sorry that people are telling you you should slow down. Slow down what? We are meant to have electricity this 2026. I’m just so angry. This year I’ve stayed clear of commenting on things because Nigeria will make you you start to loosen your your dada you don’t have dada you start to loosen it.

“What are people really doing there and what’s up with the lies? God will judge all of you. God will judge you people. God will judge you people. I was telling someone, we need free pass to heaven. When we die and go, God will say, I am from Nigeria. Go and get massage, get food, let someone just take care of you because you are coming from me, Lord.”

For the past two weeks, we’ve had little or no electricity in my area, yet the bills will still arrive at the end of the month. What exactly are we paying for when we’re not receiving a reliable service—or getting value for our money? It’s frustrating to hear that electricity is being supplied to other countries while people here are left in the dark. We’re forced to buy fuel and run generators almost every day just to meet basic needs. This is unacceptable, and the Minister of Power must do more. He has to do better.
