Nigerians on Twitter are dragging to filth, the chairman of Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission, James Momoh, after he went on stage to shout ”I have a dream that Nigeria will have 24 hours power”.
Momoh was attending a conference centered on electricity and as he was about to make his speech, he felt like channeling his inner ”Martin Luther King” and as he shared his dream of stable electricity power supply to Nigerians.

However, Nigerians who have lived through decades of unfulfilled promises and unstable power supply, responded by saying you cannot ”motivationally” talk electricity into existence. They pointed out that when Martin Luther King used the famous lines, he was already working and not dreaming.

Why should this even be a dream? African leaders are so exhausting, destructive dream killers, I'm tired

He just came to make noise without passing an accurate message. He claimed he had a dream…. which dream..?. And he is a Professor!! SMH ??♂️. Even a Marlian won’t make such a dumb presentation. Bad!

James Momoh is an embarrassment to all men of good intellect. You have the power to change things and you're busy dreaming. Wake up and work! That's why you're NERC Chairman for goodness sake! https://t.co/5UVijLhGC4

Ok, is he a Pastor?
Who delivers such a dramatic speech/lecture?
He should lay down the marker on how these dreams of his, will be actualized. If he didn't or can't, someone should tell him that "I have a dream" that's he's daydreaming.

You have a dream that we should hope, hope, hope, hope, and keep hope alive? When Martin Luther king Jr used those words, he was not speaking for fun, or to get applauds, it ws a dream he died for. Making mockery of those lofty words just makes one sick. Go and work.
