Oahray: smh. People still do not know how to answer questions. You were not asked if constant electricity would automatically make Nigeria a super power. You were asked if Nigeria CAN become a super power WITHOUT constant electricity. They are two different things.

It's like someone asking you: "Could Usain Bolt have won his olympic medals without legs?" and for an answer, you go on and on about the rest of us that have legs but are not fast runners. Is that what you were asked?

Orikinla: [size=18pt]Regular supply of electricity does not translate into modernity as even many countries with regular power supply are still backward and underdeveloped in Africa.
I have been to a place with regular electric power supply in Nigeria, but the place is like Ajegunle in Lagos.
The community has an ultra modern library, but the people hardly go there.
They have enough jobs, but they are still intellectually retarded and depending more on their salaries instead of being creative and productive.
Even if you give morons regular electricity, that cannot transform them in super humans until they have the brains on how to use that regular power supply for development of modern technology and intellectual society.
Creativity in Arts and Sciences is the only way to develop into super power and not when the greatest ambition of majority of Nigerians is to earn a seven digit salary that does not make anyone a great achiever.
Super powers are made by the creativity and productivity of authors, innovators and inventors and not by salary earners.
Nigeria must invest in startups in the creative and manufacturing industries.

What makes a super power?
No regular power supply, but the leadership of the intelligentsia in the corridors of power and the promotion of meritocracy in democracy and not the leadership of political contractors and opportunists rigging elections to usurp power and plunder the nation like the present situation in Nigeria.

[size=18pt]This is more than the primary school answer you want and as know primary school IQ has not helped majority of Nigerians to even think more than monkeys.
That is why majority of Nigerian graduates are jobless, because of lack of ratiocination.

Nigeria cannot become a super power without electricity. But the lack of regular electricity is not why Nigeria is underdeveloped. The low IQ of majority of Nigerians who are intellectually re-tarded is the major obstacle.

Monkeys will still be monkeys even with all the electricity in the world. And majority of Nigerians reason like monkeys and behave like monkeys, even here on Nairaland. They know how to consume bananas, but they don't know how to grow banana plants.[/size]

360command: Yes Nigeria can become a super power without electricity because there is a proverb in french that says , 'Aux pays des aveugles le borgne est Roi' - In a country of blind people ,one eyed man is the king'. Now if other african countries or countries are adamant in becoming a super power,where they are blind in been that super power, we (nigeria) that is blind can have advantage over other country. Note: the advantage becomes a 'one eye' for us to be the king or super power as the scenario given. This is in relation to the proverb I gave in the beginning . IN A COUNTRY OF BLIND PEOPLE , ONE EYED MAN IS THE KING.

andrewza:

Taking that saying to heart means you saying that every countrie more powerfull than nigeria has to suffer a major disaster. Thus making nigeria the one eyed man. It is next imposibil that every country would be knocked out that badly and if they do nigeria will fall. Where you going to buy your finshed products and sell your oil.

Joeblis: People should try use their brains for once..the idea of comparing nigeria to USA is outrgaly ridiculous,when the usa was struggling with constant power supply that was about 100 to 150years ago, nigeria bearly exist then..abi u nor say na since slave trade oyibo start dey get light.African was not even organised then,wearing leaves as cloth and throwing twins to the evil forest.
Nigeria is just 50yrs for God sake,even iran that was in existence during the time of the old testament we still beter pass them.so wait let nigeria clock 200yrs before we think of world power cause we are moving faster than the speed of light

Oahray: smh. People still do not know how to answer questions. You were not asked if constant electricity would automatically make Nigeria a super power. You were asked if Nigeria CAN become a super power WITHOUT constant electricity. They are two different things.

It's like someone asking you: "Could Usain Bolt have won his olympic medals without legs?" and for an answer, you go on and on about the rest of us that have legs but are not fast runners. Is that what you were asked?

Oahray: At least you answered the question this time. Every other point though not unimportant, is just an addition. Nigeria needs more than just constant electricity, but it is a good first step all the same.

PS: I find it very rude and insulting of you to liken Nigerians to monkeys. Can you not make a good point without insults? Smh again.

tim107: It is clear that without electricity there can be no industrial development and all those grand visions of becoming one of the world's leading economies by 2020 cannot be relaised.
