Pidgin2: Yes! Madam it will. Yes,madam it will. Yes, madam it will. Electricity is a very important tool in development. With constant electricity, it will help SME 's to produce more, develope and expand their businesses.Major setbacks many businesses have is cost of running diesel machines. For those businesses located where there is epileptic power supply, it's very difficult coping in such situations. The last time we had a major fuel hike in the country, you realise how many businesses was shut down. Do you realize how much revenue was lost? How many businesses crumbled? You must know for a fact that constant electricity supply will play a major role in development. Now look at all the countries with constant electricity supply you mentioned , compare them to Nigeria and get back to me. 7 Likes 1 Share |

nkwuocha1: Okay, I'm back to you, after doing all comparisons Nigeria still stands above South Africa in terms of economy, South Africa (the most developed African country in terms of infrastructure) is still called a Third world aka developing country with high HIV infection rate and No. 1 rape center of the world, the highest rated of teen pregnancy in Africa also they still have segregation aka white and black neighborhoods, some Blacks live in abject poverty without basic amenities(why not white?), the Blacks still don't have enough jobs hence their hostility towards other Blacks called xenophobia. Zimbabwe with their light still have a worthless paper they call currency that now the mode being presently used to exchange goods and services is trade by barter, they still have a. 93 year old president that has rule since 1980. Most Zimbabweans still consider South Africa as heaven and migrate in huge numbers, so what is your point? 3 Likes |

Pidgin2:Yes , I believe so ...look around the world , lack of electricity has crippled Nigerian greatness , we are a great people but we have been denied the ability to thrive , the capital cost of generating power by small business owner is just too much , so we cannot employ the jobless ..if you open your eyes ..you will see the lack of development that the refusal or lack of awareness of the good that the electricity power can bring to nation can you imagine there was no electricity in china , Dubai. usa . Europe ?...there will be no development 8 Likes 1 Share |

Pidgin2:Please I will be brief. Sincerely, if you go through this thread and you're not fully educated on this argument I can't help you. South Africa economy is better than Nigeria. When it comes to Tourism, SA is best picked over Nigeria. South Africa citizens are generally lazy. Some scholars overtime has blamed such laziness on the after effects of apartheid. HIV is to South Africa what VVF /malaria /Polio /meningitis /HIV /CHOLERA /Tuberculosis is to Nigeria. Racism is everywhere. It's even worst here in Nigeria. Many of you here bleach your skins to look brighter than your future. Why not remain black if you so much adore your race. Nigeria with all her much younger rulers since independence, again even with abundance of oil still import toothpicks. What have you achieved? Talking about jobs, how many of your tribesmen are in the Nigeria Force as compared to the North? I would have loved to go on and on but I'm seriously not in the mood for that this morning. Nigeria is way backward and that's it! Only called giant of Africa because of her population and nothing else. 8 Likes 1 Share |

[s] AceSkillz01:[/s]then why are canadians bundling themselves to usa as against usa going to canada? Why would average canadian wanna leave those standards and move to usa? Mexico has higher standard of living than america, why are mexicans doing anything just to get to usa? Use your head. They use economy and opportunities mostly to judge countries not usually standard of living. Once you have made it where the opportunity is, your own personal standard of living will improve. That's why america is best country in the world despite the fact that Mozambiquans have higher standard of living than average americans. Its a simple common sense that you refused to grasp. The most highly rated countries in the world where people migrate to, what do they all have in common? For someone who claimed to have travelled everywhere like yourself, your brain hasn't travelled at all. Its like your brain still under the 3rd mainland bridge complaining about everything that is wrong with nigeria. 3 Likes |

ooshinibos: Why many villages still look archaic is because of lack of electricity. I'm based in Abuja. My wife do buy foodstuffs from villages around there. They have constant electricity compared to some Estates around .Many times I cut the fish she buys from there myself because it's so frozen. The day I visited the village myself, I noticed almost all the houses have AC.They can afford to take their children to private schools. Now many indigenes are pulling down their mud houses to build block houses. Those electricians, Ac repairers, welders, Iron benders, ice block manufacturers there are making serious money. 1 Like |

Pidgin2: the measure of economy is GDP and while that is an estimate of national finance and statistics, it does not equal development, nigeria is also ahead of norway(the country with the highest human development index), israel, austria, ireland, singapore and all these countries are highly developed countries, so the economy argument is useless in terms of development. india has a higher gdp than australia, canada, france, south korea, sweden, switzerland but it's not better than any of these countries, it doesn't even compare. so again the higher economy argument is invalid. south africa is undoubtedly more developed than nigeria. yes, south africa is a still classified a developing country but it's among the 5 major emerging national economies called BRICS (brazil, russia, india, china, south africa), these are distinguished fast developing & industralized countries on their way to becoming termed "developed countries" if they keep developing at their current rate in subsequent years. and fyi, a third world country simply means a country whose views are not aligned with NATO and capitalism or the Soviet Union and communism, the term became synonymous to under-development cos most of the countries among it are not developed. racism, high rape/hiv rates does not make a country less developed, those are social ills, they're not economic problems. zimbabwe now uses the us dollar and south-african rand as their national currency after theirs got devalued. the trade by barter system occurred at the peak of their currency devaluation and it's ceased a long time ago cos they've stabilized and it's no longer necessary. your argument about them travelling to SA makes no sense, humans migrate to countries more or even less developed than theirs for better opportunities, does not mean those countries are not developed themselves, you keep hearing about trump building a wall in mexico because mexicans are running to the us, mexico is a very advanced country, it has rep for drugs and all but the country in itself is doing great, go to mexico and see how beautiful this country is, brexit is to stop the influx of other DEVELOPED european countries from flocking to the uk: spain, romania, italy, poland, they all leave their developed countries to migrate, doesn't mean their country is not developed. and moreover, mugabe admitted himself that SA is ahead of them so it's not like he's in denial. there are millions of nigerians DYING to make it to south africa. 2 Likes |

selflessmaya: Exclude the white race from South Africa and see whether they will be anything close to where they are now, this is why the Blacks are oppressed in their own country, go there and see how some live in penury. Their rural areas (of course black communities) are horrible places to live in. The whites live in posh areas while some Blacks are poor, tell me are the whites not lazy too or dies being white and having European ancestry make one hardworking? Therefore, if the Blacks are lazy it means left to themselves they will not be as developed as they are today As for Zimbabwe, also slaves to white plantation owners before Mugabe rescued them and now their infrastructure is delaying because the whites of European origin are not given enough power as they had before to develop their land. Most francophone countries in Africa are still basically under colonial rule, imagine having French and Belgian troops within their army, and you also see white men and women in their military unlike here where we do our own thing in freedom Are Chinese, Indians and Lebanese not flocking here to?

I think every comments made here is pointing to one thing. Bad, wicked, demonic, evil leaders we had in this country. We should just take it cool with ourselves here. Note this, No country will be developed without electricity. Electricity is very crucial in any Country. Make we leave GDP cos Pple are hungry, dying of hunger in this country oooo. Nigerians are hardworking, talented, gifted but our leaders are demons. With all the solid and mineral resources at their disposal nothing to show for it. I think the youths should form a political party with a very clear ideology to follow. France will soon have a 39yrs old president. We should stop all these attacks and face the problem called bad leaders we have in this country called Nigeria. Nigeria as a country is crying, weeping and needs help. Youths if this blessed country Nigeria come out and stand for what is right. The truth must be told no development in this country. Development only exist on paper. With the amount of billions of dollars the claimed to spend on electricity yet nothing to show for it. My question is this: how much must be spend on power to have a stable Electricity in this country? God bless Nigeria! |
