Married women in Diobu area of Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital, have marched to the office of Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHED) in protest over their inability to have sex with their husbands at night due to heat caused by power failure.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the women, who marched to the streets to the PHED office, were armed with placards with different inscriptions such as ‘No Light, No Payment’, ‘The Heat is too much’, etc, and lamented the untold hardship they were passing through.
The protesting women lamented that their husbands no longer touch them at night due to heat, lamenting their inability to preserve cooked foods for weeks as a result of power outage.
The angry women also stated that their businesses had been grounded due to poor power supply.
The leader of the protesting women , Maria Ike, stated: “We have decided to let the world know what we are passing through in the hands of PHED. The poor supply in our area is at zero level despite the fact that we pay monthly bills to PHED. We no longer have romance and conjugal relationship with our husbands because of so much heat due to power failure. Our businesses have collapsed because of power outage. This is really affecting our families,” she said.
When PHED Public Relations Officer, Livingstone Koko, was contacted over the protests, he confirmed that the women actually protested and explained that the issue of poor power supply is a general problem in the country.
He stated that PHED was doing its best to improve on power supply in the State but did not state if the company will be supplying electricity to the protesters mostly at night for them to satisfy their sexual desires, preserve their food and protect their businesses in the area.
