The rich are dying, not crying, says Williams Uchemba

Popular Nollywood actor and internet sensation, Williams Uchemba, has bemoaned the country’s poor electricity supply and the scarcity of diesel to power generators.

Williams Uchemba posted a video to his verified Instagram page with the caption “Permission to Rant?”

The father of one who lives in an estate in Ikoyi, Lagos state with his family lamented the change in power supply in his then uninterrupted power supply estate.

He stated that things have now deteriorated to the point where the estate, which used to have 24-hour power, barely receives an adequate power supply.

According to him, the PHCN manager in his area was contacted, and he insisted that the estate chairman should see him so that he could get ‘Christmas money’.

He also bemoaned his driver’s inability to obtain diesel for him to use and power his generator because it is in short supply at most gas stations.

Uchemba stated that he has now resorted to speaking with his neighbours who have diesel to sell him and that some of them have raised the price from N1200 per litre.

He said: ‘’I am going mad in this country… The rich are not crying. The rich are dying. With all your money, you will die in Nigeria.”
