A young Ghanaian man has taken to social media to express his frustration after power outages, popularly known as dumsor, reportedly damaged his brand-new fan. In a trending video, the visibly upset man is seen complaining about how the unstable electricity supply ruined his recently purchased appliance.
According to him, he had saved up money to buy the fan, hoping to enjoy some comfort during the hot weather. However, due to the frequent power fluctuations, the fan stopped working just days after he bought it. In the video, he emotionally laments the financial loss and inconvenience, questioning why Ghanaians continue to suffer from unreliable electricity supply.
The clip has since gone viral, sparking massive reactions from social media users. Many sympathized with him, sharing their own experiences of how dumsor had damaged their electronic devices. Others, however, made light of the situation, turning his complaints into humorous memes. Some also called on the government and electricity providers to address the ongoing power crisis.
While dumsor has been a long-standing issue in Ghana, many citizens continue to face challenges due to unstable power supply. The young man’s frustration highlights the everyday struggles Ghanaians endure, hoping for a lasting solution to the problem.
