Even when the National power generation still stands at 2900 megawatts? Some people are born liar!

Some Nigerians are just funny, all through the year(2014) electrical supply was nothing to write home about, now that the election is about to come, suddenly electricity is now stable. Be wise!! I don't wanna enjoy electricity only during election periods, I want to enjoy it all through the year! The time for CHANGE is here...

This is what happens when people start seeing their birthright as a privilege undecided



I weep for Nigeria embarassed


So our country has become so politically and economically sodomized, that its citizens can no longer distinguish 'basic amenities' from privileges.... angry

What the op wants us to do in this new year, is to roll out the drums and dance in the market-square because power supply has improved in some parts of the nation, while some areas are still in the Dark ages.

Constant power supply is our right..... Since the op has opened a thread rejoicing over power supply, he might as well open a thread thanking the government for his life, for the spaghetti he ate this morning, and for allowing him impregnate his wife as many times as possible without any restrictions whatsoever.... angry


My friend park well with your hate. We all know power is a basic social amenity.
The fact remains we have been denied power for years and now it's improving. We criticise govt when their is need and should also praise them when they do well.

Jonathan has a clearly defined power agenda that is yielding result. Even the Buhari/Tinubu cannot deny it.

I am based in Portharcourt, Rivers State, I am greatly surprised that there could be 24hrs of power supply in this country. Even in Transamadi where I stay, we hardly have power supply for 12hrs at a stretch! Here is different! We all complain when there is no power supply and I feel it will not be wise enough to keep queit now we have been having light 24hrs/day consecutively for 8days except for on the 30th that power supply was ceased for few hours. You may be wondering where in Nigeria this great thing is happening. It is in a village called Obollo Nkwo in Udenu LGA of Enugu State. I wish there could be a way to prove this claim, unfortunately, there isn't any. I am sorry but that's the truth. I hope there has been an improvement inpower supply in other parts of this great nation, especially where you are. May God bless whoever is responsible for this and may he/she encounter constant supply of God's blessing through out 2015. I wish you constant power supply too if you are not having one currently. Hit like if there has been an improvement in power supply in your area.

Bro i feel u. My brother just came back fron otukpo Benue state and he said thesame thing aw light is very stable there. Dey do give dem light for 22-23 hrs a day-dis is no joke!

He came back to Lag and was plunged into d regular darkness.

I think dis light issue is problem of big cities like lagos or maybe Abuja but other states do have regular power supplies.

Here in my area of calabar [Scanobo] there has been a very remarkable improvement in power supply.... This is an area that used to go for days and even weeks without supply.... I still have 300 litres of pms stored in my house.

Now we now enjoy upto 18hrs.... Confidence that there always be power supply has increased..

Power supply is getting better because the government is doing something about the power grid.... Endeavor to keep PHCN staffs as friends.... I was told by one that we are yet to enjoy anything..... Work is going on to be completed by March on some power lines and that calabar North has been rerouted to a new power station in the East while the southern part is to be hooked to the new itu station.... A substation at tinapa is to be fired by March upon completion of work on the grid

Is that news? During xmas it has been a norm over the years, atleast since I learnt how to talk, every xmas period, you can go a whole week of power supply without interruption, but from 2nd week of January, you are on your own.
@Op is this supposed to be GEJ campaign strategy?

Have they improved on the staggering 4KMW?
Have the industries that folded up due to power shortage started benefiting?

The country produces less than 4000 MW and the whole place starts getting lights up ? So where the electricity coming from ?

Actually for Nigeria this is where the problem / challenge is. You can not be generating 4000MW for such a large population and hope there is / will be light for everybody. 4000MW for upto 170million people is close to nothing. What about industries, firms, where do they get their supply from? Everybody has to share the 4000MW

And what is even painful it's the fact that it takes quite a long time to build power stations. Anything between 3 and 6 years for a 4500MW station. Nigeria has got a lot of hard work to do. You need a lot more - seriously a lot.

Comparing with the South African situation:
Currently SA generates at 39150MW and soon will be about 48000MW with a population of 52million people.

Nigeria with a population of plus 165million should do with a generating capacity of around 168000MW. Currently sitting at 4000MW, there is a difference of 164000MW that must still be attained to - and with a generating capacity of up to 6000MW per station - at the most 27 more stations has to be built.

May the powers that be in that country find the courage to face this challenge head on assist the nation. It would be very good for the entire African continent if this could be done.

This is why GEJ must be returned to Aso Rock come 2015. I was impressed when I listened to the Minister of Power speak on the state of power supply in Nigeria. I was the more impressed by the fact that there is a well designed pattern for continous improvement of our power supply. Only the blind and the paralyzed will fail to see and feel the atmosphere of fresh air this nation is experiencing in every sector. I personally feel as though we never had a military regime in this country. There is now clearly a headway. A vote for GEJ is a vote for light in all it ramification, while a vote of Buhari is a vote for darkness in all its ramification and a return to Egypt. I and many other Nigerians have determined not to return to Egypt, the land of bondage, with Buhari as its Pharoah. Let Buhari (pharoah) know that he will drown in the sea just like his predecessor the Egyptian pharoah, and His evil agenda against God's people will be thwarted big time. GEJ till Buhari repents.

can you please do me a favour and speak for yourself? there was a thread like this created in the middle of the year, people were posting about the improved light (those residing in aba can testify this)...what did your ilk say then? "it is because of the rainy season, let the water level drop and you will see"..the water level has dropped and now the new tune is " haba be wise, it is because of the coming election"..
