Comedian David Oscar believes the current outrageover the ongoing
power crisis is a bit exaggerated.
Describing it as an "Accra pandemic" and not a "national disaster,"
the comedian does not understand why people are becoming excessively
emotional about the subject.
On Joy FM's Ghana Connect programme, Friday, Oscar said he had
traveled to some regions within the past month and can say on
authority that the power outagewhich has now been christened in Ghana,
dumsor, is not as severe inother regions as it is in Accra.
He mentioned Kumasi in the Ashanti Region, Koforidua in the Eastern
Region, Volta Region and Cape Coast in the Central Region as some of
the places he visited where the situation was not as badas it is being
made to seem.
The comedian had already courtedanger amongst some of his colleagues
for criticizing a planned procession by celebrities against the power
crisis.
The procession dubbed the 'dumsormuststop' vigil was triggered by a
post on twitter by actress Yvonne Nelson.
She has had enough of the power crisis and took her frustration to
public with a #dumsormuststop .
Whether by design or coincidence, rapper Sarkodie also released a
track titled the masses in which hechided government for what he says
is the high cost of living in thecountry, worsened by a power crisis.
He would later join forces with Yvonne Nelson, comedian Derrick Kobina
Bonney (DKB), actress LydiaForson and a host of others, who have vowed
to be part of the dumsor vigil.
David Oscar said it would be hypocritical for him to be part of the
vigil, a comment some of the celebrities found insulting.
