A recent video circulating online has stirred up strong emotions among social media users.

The video captures an elderly woman expressing her dismay over a substantial bill issued by the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), which has left netizens shocked.

In the footage, the woman, speaking in the local Ewe dialect, is visibly upset as she questions the exorbitant charges.

She explains that she only uses two light bulbs and nothing more, making her unable to comprehend the steep bill amount.

"I don't understand this bill. This is not what I used to pay. I have 2 light bulbs so how come I am being charged this much," she laments. "It's that bad, I am not working, nobody is helping me, I don't have such huge amounts, and moreover, my children are not feeding me. I don't know what to do. This bill is too much."

The video has sparked a wave of reactions on Twitter, with many expressing sympathy for the woman's plight and calling for action to address the situation.
