In a video shared on her official Instagram handle on Friday, November 6, 2026, the actress expressed frustration over erratic power distribution, noting that electricity is often restored for barely five minutes before going off again.
Henshaw directly challenged the minister to publicly identify the Nigerians who allegedly complained in September that continuous power supply was excessively freezing items in their freezers and requested that distribution be reduced.
“You were credited with a statement that in September, some people were telling you that you should turn off the power because the things in their freezers were freezing. What is a freezer for?” she queried. “I need the names and numbers of these people that called you and said you should turn off the lights, or you should slow down. There is hardly electricity in 2026.”
The actress lamented that the chronic failure of the national grid has forced ordinary households to operate like mini-factories, relying heavily on fuel-powered generators and solar installations just to carry out basic daily activities.

Expressing disbelief that citizens are still battling foundational infrastructure deficits decades into independence, Henshaw highlighted the compounding pressures of the high cost of living and intense heat, questioning why Nigerians should continue to endure avoidable hardship due to poor power supply.
