Business researchers are welcome on board as we together dissect the problem of epileptic power supply in Nigeria despite the huge amount of money being spent on it.

Questions here for discussion
1. According to statistics, Nigeria needs only 12000 MW of electricity but we are only producing 4000MW. First, is the 12000MW the total required to power the whole nation including all the villages, industries and plants all across the nation? Or is it just an estimate of what we consume based on current tranmission to connected. I'm expecting that the amount is too little if we are actually moving towards the vision 2020. We should hoping for up to 40000MW like South Africa is currently having. I won't mind and I believe other Nigerians too won't mind if the Chinese feat of a 60000MW is in place in my dear country.

2. Electricity generation on a mass level is mostly done using Turbines through the use of Dams. Is it that Nigeria does not have a large enough dam to generate all our power supply or we are just lazy. Ethiopia will soon be generating 6000MW of electricity through a dam to be constructed on the blue Nile, with a budget of about 6.4B dollars. You can confirm that here http://unbonmotgroundswell..de/2013/06/a-possible-technical-solution-involving.html . China finished their own 22500mw capacity dam spending only 25billion dollars on it. You can confirm that here http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Gorges_Dam . Can we build a new dam too, if so, where, for how much and within how many years? China spent close to 20 years on the project so I know that all what APC guys are talking about bringing huge transformation and that we will have light in few years is an unfounded fact.

3. A further research got me to the discovery that hydroelectric power using dams is not the best. In fact, the world is going against what Ethiopia is trying to do. http://www.internationalrivers.org/blogs/229/can-ethiopia-afford-the-grand-renaissance-dam . If not Hydroelectric power, then what?

4. We can build micro hydro power generators all across the nation. It only costs about $20000 per one at most. Confirm that here http://www.alternative-energy-news.info/micro-hydro-power-pros-and-cons/ . Why is the government not yet looking into this?

5. Just now during my research into this problem, I discovered that NigeriA has more than enough power stations to alleviate our power problems. Please read the list below carefully and add up the full running capacities of each. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_power_stations_in_Nigeria .

I'm sure it'll answer most of the questions above. What I'm still asking is, WHAT DAHELL IS WRONG! When we have power stations which are capable of giving us well over 15000mw of power at full capacity. A lot of the new ones are not yet operational, those operational ones are functioning at partial Capacity.

Please, help me wake up the minister in charge, the president and other concerned individuals.

We have more than enough! There must be something wrong somewhere.

Read up on the gas supply challenges as well as the inadequate transmission capabilities currently available.
These problems are being addressed but in the Nigerian environment take a bit longer than the normal.
