learn to appreciate what you got. don't whine about your ugly situation as though your case is the worst cos people elsewhere suffer even worse. this guy is complaining but it will be heaven on earth if we can have electricity for 22 hours a day here in Nigeria

as bad as our light situation is, some African countries are worse of. a[b]sk congo DR[/b]

Congo DR is an interesting case.

In the 1970'S....work was commenced on the Inga system of dams which if it had been completed would have had the potential to provide light for half of the African continent.

But the project has been partially completed...thanks to good old corruption.

South Africa generates 44000MW.

Nigeria maximally generates 5000MW....(Which at best can guarantee 12 hours of light for everyone on the Naitonal grid now)>

15000MW of SA's power comes from nuclear.

Nigeria....(No, we cannot have nuclear power, we are subhumans who cannot look after nuclear power. No No.....!).

South Africans pay their bills.

Nigerians fight DISCO staff who try to enforce bill collection. (And the government parastatals are no better).

South Africa has good maintenance culture.

Nigeria....not only has bad maintenance culture...but a host of parasites who deliberately sabotage the equipment, so that they can benefit from the contracts awarded for repairs.
Giant of Africa my foot!

that's a very short period, we don't have light since buhari administration began.
The whole nation is cover with darkness and injustices
top tertiary institutions have been shut down in recent days
fuel scasity norms are sickness, the scasity itself is worst than dead

now, how will they react to that?
Re: A South African Complained Of Not Having Light For 2 Hours, Nigerian Guy Reacts by truthspeaks: 11:56am On Apr 13, 2016
But those wit certain interests won't allow such initiatives to thrive. Ppl like generator manufacturers. Nig is d only country whr darkness is profitable n d elite who gain a lot frm it wld wish it remains so for d nxt 50yrs. Question is will Nigerians allow Nigeria remain like dis in d nxt 50yrs? Wat will our country look like in d nxt 50yrs?

The problem we have in this country is the short term memory we Nigerians have....Prior to the genesis of oil exploration in nigeria, agriculture was our main source of economic income...the coal found in Enugu state is enough to provide 24 hrs uninterrupted electricity for the SE/SS. the kainji dam in Niger state can service the NC/SW and some parts of NW.....while a new dam could be constructed to service the NE. By doing this, I believe our daily need of electricity will be met and this will pave way for foreign investors.....this is the kind of bill we need our law makers to propose and not some useless CCT Amendment bill....

I don't know why some people think or feel that Congo is as terrible just as the pronunciation of the name "Congo" sounds! That country is better off than Nigeria in both Human Resources, Facilities and even their Women!

Honestly 2 hours of loadshedding in SA is like eternity because of the way and manner that things are structured here, one's life will virtually come to a standstill, you cannot take a bath, cos the water from the tap will be ice cold most especially during winter, u can't even drink the water or use it to wash ur hands, and also u can't cook or do anything tangible tangible in the house , hence the guy's frustration.

@Quakertellicus...you talk of guarantee of 12hours, some people will faint. Some nigerians don't value what is good. I remember sometime late last year, we had light in our area for over 10hours without a blink. To my surprise, i heard some ungrateful neighbours abusing and cursing PHCN that they were the cause of their bottled items in their fridge been broken as a result of too much of iceing due to long duration of electricity.

You must be drunk in fanta.Your hypocrisy stinks more than mine. GEJ accept and accommodate all the critics when he was in power.
Why it is taboo to criticise this current government without zombies like you jumping into their defence.

if there is regular power supply like there is in South Africa, paying light bill won't be a problem. .how can one be paying for something he doesn't enjoy
