Kslib: Na una sabi.. All my own be say "make we dey get light steady"..Even if na 20hours a day,we go manage am like dat..

solomto: Indians na wao!

Sky Blue: I would like to know the percentage ownership of Tata in the consortium. I would be VERY uneasy at the idea of a foreign company controlling something as sensitive as power. Indian for that matter, they still suffer from power outages and just some months ago there was a huge outage that plunged about half a billion people in India into darkness. What, there were no South African bidders to manage? Give us people who have sucessful experience of doing this please - with a majority Nigerian share hold.

you gat point man!

Zeddicus:
Typical Nigerians. If the title was "South African Firm and Others Bid For Power Distribution Companies" you will rain abuses on them citing MTN and DSTV.

Sky Blue:

Address the issues raised and leave the smart retorts to the professionals. South Africa has a better power record than India (easily). China has a better power management record than India (easily). It is about competency. Unless you can find any where I have complained about MTN who provide services that Nigerians in fact rely on, I suggest you just walk on. India suffers from the same problems Nigeria suffers from, corruption being a major issue. If we are going to be led to greater heights I would prefer we be led there by people at greater heights - with a major Nigerian share hold.

solomon111: Where are the so-called 'Rich or well-to- do diasporeans'?
They won't invest now o.
Tommorrow they will start blaming the govt,and raining insults on Nigeria.
People just like talking the talk,but won't work the work.
Mscheww.!!

playboy19: You know it's funny how Nigerians thinks. You are all here complaining about an Indian company "TaTa" bidding for our power distribution company while no one noticed the names of the local bidders being the same set of people indicted for Subsidy fraud. SMH

And FYI, Tata is a very credible conglomerate compare to all these your subsidy fraudsters. In case you dont know, Tata owns Tata car producing company, Jaguar Cars, and the almighty Land Rover, yes your Range Rover was produced by Tata, so how else do you want them to prove to be competent enough.

Aside from being subsidy fraudsters, you cannot attribute any good thing or products to any of our so called local bidders. My opinion though!

Sky Blue:

And how experienced is TATA in power? You mention that TATA own Jaguar but don't mention that they own it because they BOUGHT IT. They did not set up that business or the intellectual properties that went into creating that brand, so don't mix things up. Don't get me wrong TATA is not a bad company, but I was more relieved to see Honeywell in that list.

And yes the local bidders might be questionable, but that does not make this alternative the ideal by default. There are MANY good companies in the world that have experience with power. The countries we could look to are ENDLESS, so why India that struggles with its own power issues? Why not even South Africa?

berem: chinko people no follow bid? Anyway that's their business! If they like make them give am to Barack Obama,I just want 24hrs uninterrupted power supply!
