The power supply has been somewhere between terrible and negatively astronomical. Jonathan is really trying indeed. |

Its your punishment for denying that power has become 29 hours per day as the President stated on CNN! Since you bloody Nigerians decided to embarrass your "chairman" by saying he lied, he has decided to punish you! Let everyone start screaming we have 29 hours supply DAILY and he will tell NEPA to stop your chastising 1 Like |

To be honest, the minimal improvement I saw when barth was around is currently no more. Nigerians seems to have been duped. |

gbadexy: We only hav a few hours of electricity a ady here at surulere. Same in my Bode-Thomas, Adeniran Ogunsanya axis of Surulere. There are perennial challenges, especially in developing Countries, that makes power supply fluctuate seasonally. In Nigeria, issues like optimal gas delivery and decent water level help massively. Ghana, for example, is now having serious outage issues, leading to load shedding, because of perennial problems they must overcome comprehensively and robustly given that demand has increased vastly yet supply lags behind as it has not been met by an appropriate upgrading of generating ability - the most important consideration. For Ghana, an over-reliance on Akosombo Dam, with the real estate/construction boom going on, means the current government, if serious, must be up and doing to boost generation instead of copying GEJ and deceptively celebrating "increased power" when water levels and gas flow are optimal. Ultimately, if generation ability is not increased then all cynical and opportunistic politicians need to do is to optimally 'tweak' what is available to get a mediocrity-loving people celebrating a 'placebo' effect. In the end national electrification will still remains susceptible to the perennial challenges which, sooner or later, will show up and it is back to square one. The sad thing is that we never learn in Nigeria and we not evolving quickly enough to be united in the rejection of mediocrity. People should learn, once and for all, it is only real and appreciably tangible increase in generating capacity that can improve the power woes of Nigeria permanently. |

Why is this topic not on the front page. Since Bart Nnaji left PHCN that was when they start having problem. Some people are bent on seeing the destruction of this nation. |

There is virtually no electricity supply in my neighborhood in phc. We have had like three hours in one month and our transformer is in order and in fact it is a new one. Sometime last year it was twelve hours daily and dropped down progressively to this present state. To make matters worse we still receive estimated bills from PHCN. Am just tired of this country. |

Demdem: To be honest, the minimal improvement I saw when barth was around is currently no more. Nigerians seems to have been duped. My brother, let us stop proclaiming grown adults as 'victims'. Nigerians duped and will continue to dupe themselves in so far as they remain, for several sentimental and sectional reasons, committed to backing mediocrity while ignoring what their adult sense should make very obvious. It is soul-destroying to note Nigerians are so sentimental to the extent they can even ignore the very simple logic of seasonal highs and lows of hydro-electric power, especially in a developing nation where compensatory planning is often zero, to be praising an opportunist and deceitful President for "increasing" power supply. It is the fact that sentiments and bias can so easily cloud simple logical reasoning that worries me the most about Nigeria. We fail to see that we should not even be in this position where we are left fighting over and celebrating seasonal highs and lows. When a Nation, to begin with, needs upwards of 30,000.00 Megawatts why are people celebrating supply that has not really changed , for decades and in real terms, from perhaps an optimal supply of 4,000.00 Megawatts? Man tire for Nigerians. This was always inevitable for anyone who took time to rise above sentiments and understand the logic and science of things. |

It is TERRIBLE! It is REALLY TERRIBLE! This was the reason I said that I would not celebrate the earlier improvement in power supply, but would watch and wait. We've had such increases many times since 1999, but after a while everything returns to normal (meaning blackouts). During Yar'Adua's presidency we had almost a month of uninterrupted power supply (the battery in the diesel generator ran down), but after a while, everything returned to normal. My hope though, is that they can quickly and properly conclude the privatisation process. That is when, hopefully, we can shout uhuru! |

naptu2: It is TERRIBLE! It is REALLY TERRIBLE! This was the reason I said that I would not celebrate the earlier improvement in power supply, but would watch and wait. My brother, I said nothing throughout that frenzied period of "GEJ has improved electricity massively". As one of the "Chief haters" of GEJ here, I thought I was the wrong person to point out the obvious , highlighted in your post, to sentimental folks into self-deceit and the massive worship of mediocrity strong enough to even affect their short term memory. Even before this latest 'boom and bust" we were down this same road on this very same forum under GEJ where some over-celebrated the usual seasonal fluctuation only to gnash teeth when the inevitable crash came. When the latest noise began, I just thought to myself, "these people never learn". Na wa sha. |

Power supply in my area in Aba is now like 2-3hrs a day. Yet PHCN would still bring their monthly bill. It's somehow crazy,considering that by january this year,we were having not less than 18hrs of power supply on daily basis. Can someone tell me what really went wrong? |

The usual perennial issues that will keep dogging our moribund power sector. Let us hope Privatisation is sincere. That is all I will say for now. |

I hear PHCN is undergoing a transition to new owners and that old PHCN worƙers are being paid off. The situation is also bad in my area now. |

I guess what I'm thinking is not true cos if it is then this country is doomed. What actually led to the resignation of Engr. Barth Nnaji? Is it the powerful force that's behind the failure of this country, hence using it as a platform to make ends meet. Nna eh, this country needs to start afresh with strict and powerful constitution. |
