Nonsense. Those lights reflect electricity, not a few gas flares in the delta.

E be like say una wan start to dey use candle again Abi


South Africa - 238.3bKWh
(Population: 52.93 million in 2013)
Average Power Supply Share per head - 4502.172KWh

Egypt - 123.9bKWh
(Population: 82.06 million in 2013)
Average Power Supply Share per head - 1509.870KWh

Algeria - 40.11bKWh
(Population: 39.21 million in 2013)
Average Power Supply Share per head - 1022.953KWh

Nigeria - 20.13bKWh
(Population: 173.6 million in 2013)
Average Power Supply Share per head - 115.956KWh


Does this look like 4TH POSITION TO YOU?

I want to see power share per home, not per head.

Rome was not built in a day but a lot of work still needs to be done, by the time GEJ will be leaving in 2019 the issue of power supply will be a forgone issue with the limitless power that will be distributed to households.

ROSSIKE:


I take it you cannot name a single power plant in Nigeria before Kainji Dam (1963)?

Thanks. That was exactly what I said. Your colonial rulers brought in huge generators to power a few GRAs then occupied by Europeans. There was no national grid until the succeeding indigenous governments built one.

bigfrancis21:


Yea. In addition, notice that the entire region between Nigeria/Niger-Sierra leone and Egypt/Algeria (up North Africa) is considerably in darkness, which corresponds to that region being the Sahara desert where human occupation, and subsequently the need for electricty, is scarce and less dense than other areas.

daey118:
in the mean time ..what is he doing ?

netotse:


it is definitely not electricity, the grid is not that developed in that part of Naija and that's a heat signature you're looking at not electricity

if other presidents before this regime had done what this regime is doing by privatizing the second and not embezzling 16billion dollars then we should be No 1 in Africa

Ds South Africa sef....una sure sey dem be African country....na dem dey always carry first for everything...which kain government dem dey practise oh

omonnakoda:
Doing everything?? Wat exactly has he done. How exactly does "federal xter" affect electricity. The truth is that in the 16 years of PDP with over $40 billion spent NOTHING , ABSOLUTELY NOTHING has changed. In fact we are going backwards

omonnakoda:
We had street lights in Lagos in 1896 and there were SEVERAL power plants in Nigeria before independence

If it makes you feel good to wear your ignorance like a badge fine. It is not my duty to educate you and I will not. Bluster is no substitute for brains. The facts are what they are and no amount of ego massaging will change them.

This is what you yorubas do I don't like when it comes to OBJ's corruption practices you ppl will shout PDP just to include GEJ and hide OBJ... OBJ single handedly kill the power sector and embezzled over $20 billion. for federal xter, states are not allow to generate and distribute locally before sending to the national grid ....power transmission is more costly and difficult to manage than generating, so many states like lagos, rivers, akwa ibom anambra abia can't generate much cos no resources to send all out. like rivers state only one gas turbine is working while others lie fallow.

seges:

When Buhari comes to power we will practice a similar model like South Africa before Zuma came to power. Zuma is currently trying to copy Nigerian politicians with his corruption.

bigfrancis21:


Gas flaring isn't carried out all over the south! The entire southern Nigeria (east, west, south south) is brightly illuminated. Gas flaring is done in less than 1% each of the whole of River state, Delta state, Imo state, Akwa Ibom state etc. If you were to represent only the lights from gas flaring poles on a map, they would appear as tiny little bright dots spread out over an entirely dark mass of area. The illumination you see comes mostly from the presence of pervasive buildings which have light, street lights etc due to people living heavily in those areas. When you have several lit buildings and houses clumped up together, then the image you get above will look like what you see in the image because their lights are closer to each other, they merge and form the massy area of light you see in the image. The more developed a city is, with as many high-rise buildings as possible, the more brightly illuminated it appears from above. Take a look at the map of US below, for example, which corresponds to the population density pattern of the US. The more densely populated areas (the more need for electricity and development and buildings that have to be illuminated too), the more illuminated they appear on the image.

GenBuhari:
[size=25pt]Who gave these people their data it has been generally accepted that we generate 2,000-3,000MW but their data has us as producing 20,000MW[/size]

If assuming all other data for other countries are accurate then it is a shame that countries such as DRC still embrioled in war and instability and with a fraction of our population still manages to produce twice what we do.

gnykelly:
wrong information. Nigeria has less than 5000MW (installed capacity). but the data here claim 20000MW

Demdem:


Fool, as at 2007, China was building 2 power plants every week. Power plants construction is no rocket science. We don't even Av to compete with China.
The question is how much has Jonathan added so far for the past 6 yrs?

ROSSIKE:


Generators powered street lights in Ikoyi, where the colonialists lived. You claim they ''were'' ''several'' power plants in Nigeria before independence. DO US ALL FAVOUR AND NAME ONE. JUST ONE. EITHER THAT OR ADMIT YOU HAVE BEEN SCHOOLED. What.... Are their names hidden? Some secret power plants sitting in your village backyard perhaps?
