Being a superhero sounds cool until you realize you’re doing it in Nigeria. Imagine having super speed, but still getting stuck in Lagos traffic because LASTMA insists you “follow procedure.” Or having super strength, but still needing NEPA to bring light before you can charge your gadgets.
Meet “Power Man”—Naija’s Own Superhero
✅ Super speed? Great, but can he dodge suya smoke at every junction? The smoke affects his memory.
✅ X-ray vision? Useful, except when it reveals things he really didn’t want to see in a buka kitchen. The backyard of some bukas, is a mess.
✅ Flying ability? Wonderful, but airspace clearance wahala will land him in trouble with immigration. He go ‘sort’ tire.
Even villains in Nigeria are different—Oga Kidnapper, Mc Scammer, and Chief Embezzler give Power Man a real headache. But the worst enemy? Data subscription. Imagine missing a crime alert because MTN swallowed your last 2GB!
At the end of the day, Power Man still manages to save the day—after a quick stop at a roadside amala joint. Because even superheroes need energy! 😆
