I'm an undergraduate and don't kno much about the technology of electricity and how it works, but i kno well that electric current can be generated by using solar cells and also the use of magnetic coils(dynamo).
Electricity had been one of the major problem with this country and as a result of that different individuals av taken different measures in solving their electric power problems. One of the commonest is the use of generators which is vastly emerging to be an essential gadget in most nigerian homes. I personally wouldn't recommend this as a good step since we all kno that our precious ozone layer is depleting rapidly due to lots of gases given out as waste by many engines of which the generators we use at home is among them.
I'l like to implore all those that are involved in any area technology and those with good creativity to let us reason together and look into other means of generating power.

There's the inverter in use now. . .

[color=#550000][/color]If almost all Nigerian can reason the way this poster reason, Problem in Nigeria will reduce.
my request is that the little i know i will add and i know that there some professionals in this forum that can make every thing to be done

knowing is not the problem, acting on what we know is

our problem in this great country is not the knowledge or the technical know-how, but corruptions by the demons we have as the leaders. the most economical and maintainable power generation systems are the hydro and gas. we have them much more in abundance. you know what? even with the present degeneration being experienced in the power sector, we still supply uninterrupted power to outside countries. recently, a state had linked up their power grid to that of cameroon. what a shame! as long as we have some people still living in nigeria, it is very difficult to find the way out.
