Our Husbands No Longer Touch Us At Night Because Of Heat

On February 6th, a group of women in Rivers State took to the streets, marching towards the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHED) office.

Their grievances centered around the challenges they faced in maintaining conjugal relationships with their husbands due to the stifling heat.

This protest underscores the frustration caused by power supply issues, which have disrupted daily life and personal relationships in the community.

The women carried placards with inscriptions such as ‘No Light, No Payment’, ‘The Heat is too much’, etc. The protesting women said 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.

They also said their businesses had been grounded due to poor power supply.

The leader of the protesting women, Maria Ike, said;

“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”
