Tbe world bank has underestimated the numbers once again , its not 80 million but actually 160 million nigerians dont have access to electricity ..I define access to electricity as the "ability to have electricity supply upon demand whenever where ever " so in this light can any Nigerian be said to have electricity ? Hell No ..The Buhari govt gives me an average of 3 hours of electricity a day and also determines what time of the day i can have it ..That my good people is not access to electricity but an access to a bizzare game of" Electricity Roulette " which is nothing but a game of chance or at best a preview of Electricity services

PUSH1:


See your mouth like someone who can afford for regular electricity

MightySparrow:
Electricity na Oyinbi thing, we have the Sun, Moon, firefly, firewood.

Make Oyinbo mind them businesses biko.

tsdarkside:


firefly..... ...

MightySparrow:




Yea you get it bro. Abi firefly no dey ya village?

DeutschJunge:
Countries like Germany produce too much and don’t know what to do with it. And it’s not like they are burning coal o! Renewable energy!!

What is so hard in going to Brazil study how they are able to do it, hire experts come and replicate it in Nigeria, labor is cheap.

I just don’t know o. It’s just hard to understand why we can’t get it!

Chukwuka16:
Don't be quick to believe their lies. Germany produces 40% of its electricity from coal. Renewable isn't sustainable yet to dispatch base loads and most especially it's stochastic nature still makes its utilisation quite arduous.

GoldHorse:


Over 50 percent of German electricity comes from coal (and other fossil fuels). There's no western country that doesn't have high dependency on these but they discourage African countries from towing same path. Nuclear power supply just fraction of their needs.

Chukwuka16:
Nice and apt answer. The problem is the fact that the west controls the narrative on renewable energy. Over 66% of electricity generated by OECD countries comes from coal and oil and gas. America is pulling out of the Paris Accord to enable them exploit coal. China has lifted over 600m people out of poverty using cheap coal. The OECD countries still contribute about 80% of GHG emissions and yet didn't support any framework like the Brazilian proposal or a clean development fund that would penalise them if they miss their emission reduction targets like Germany that is going to miss it's target by 2020. Yet they still hype renewable technology for SSA using us as lab rats and also getting back whatever investments they make in SSA through technology and expertise supply.

solar is a very bad idea....you will still need to build gigantic solar plants to meet all demands....still will be too expensive....

solar has very weak output....i have solar panels at home...but the output is miserable....and you still need batteries and and converters...

very expensive experiment....

tsdarkside:


but una will always hail them tommorow.....i was talking to a german,and the moroon was telling me lies about germany have only clean energie....i didnt even bother to argue with the moroon....they can only deceive blacks that whorship them....

Chukwuka16:
Lol. Not a bad idea but not mature for full scale deployment yet. We have vast coal reserves, that's our comparative advantage. South Africa generates over 90% of her electricity from coal. When world Bank was going to support the medupi power plant we had the deceivers mostly USA and GB and Netherlands and Italy all crying foul. Yet south Africa was having serious energy crisis. Now the same America wants to exploit coal to boost economy and compete favourably with China. We don't have any comparable emission compared to EU and OECD countries so why can't we precipitate development in Nigeria based on coal and with time diversif. While China was busy investing in wind turbines these deceivers were investing in scrubbers for their power plants. Their economies are primarily driven by cheap coal which is what we need. When solar panels become very efficient above 60% and also cheap then we can start looking at a wide scale deployment.

Chukwuka16:
If you only knew. I'm currently researching energy bullying by the global north on the global south. I'm waiting for the review response. I'm not a blind follower. I critically evaluate propositions especially as it relates to SSA. The problem is the news media that sells lies like "Germany runs on wind for a day" without telling us things like demand, time of year, base power plants contribution etc. How can Germany turn off its power plants for a day? They do cumulative aggregates and sell that to gullible citizens.

tsdarkside:


i dont know why blacks think they need whites to develope...doesnt make sense to me.... ....

but dont develope without building your army oooo....or else you will end up like libya....

their are many interests in keeping africa down.....south africa a black nation my foot....the people may be black but they are not realy in charge.....

Chukwuka16:
(Well China is an ancient nation and has been able to develop local capacity over time.) Where are we going to get the turbines from? What about the associated technologies that are domiciled in the west? We need their skills and expertise to have our plants up and running while insisting on technology transfer.

irrespective of who is in charge, South Africa is doing great. Stable power, powerful economy and great FDI. Can we say the same about Nigeria? Its ZAR 1 = 26.68 Naira minutes ago.

tsdarkside:


forget it...whites are not going to help you in anything when it doesnt benefit them...why should they..??...that would be silly of them...

humans are not a giant family....we are fractions...different types....a leopard will never go into a union with lion....or a gnu with a giraff...

life doesnt work that way....

Chukwuka16:
Ah, China would be more than glad to build it for us. They are currently building over 500 coal power plants worldwide. The technology is no longer the exclusive preserve of OECD. Of course, China would be looking for something, but then we would have a life line to quickly accelerate development. We can't go anywhere without stable electricity supply.

zealous2121:
World bank!!! What have you done to help??

tsdarkside:


then the goverment must cancel that agreement they sighned with europe.....

i was shocked when i saw buhari signing that clean energie nonesense.....

we both know they will never help us build a nuclear plant...illusions....they dont even want us to have a simple steel plant sef....

Only God can change this country for good
