More than a third of Nigeria 's 36 states have been in darkness for 10 days following a major fault in the transmission grid.

Chidinma Emeneka is one of millions who have been affected, and is struggling to keep her laundry business afloat.

She says she has been forced to spend 35,000 naira ($ 21 ; 16 ) a day on fuel for her generator - and that is on sunny days .
