ElSherriff: You obviously don't understand how a dam runs and what keeps it running and you don't even know that you don't know. Humility pays a lot. Humble yourself and learn. Dams need millions of liters water to collect in them in order to generate sufficient pressure to keep the turbines rolling at optimum capacity. Already, the impact of insufficient water supply to Kainji is felt during the dry season. If any of the countries through which the Niger River runs before hitting Nigeria, decides to channel some substantial volume of the Niger River away (say for irrigation purposes), then you'll be left with a worthless Kainji Hydroelectric "Power" Station. The Power comes from the water, that's why its called "Hydro"electric. So without the water, the station is powerless. 6 Likes |

mars123: You cant put the blame on fashola. He has been a minister not up to a year yet. The blame should properly go to the previous govt and administration that failed to plan. On the issue of MW we generate. I know that Nigeria use to have more light. I believe that when the damn was first built, Nigeria use to have close to 24hrs power supply if not 24hrs. It is not just true that Nigeria has been having this poor power supply as we see today. As I had said before, failure to plan, corruption and sharing of money mentality killed us. The problem was the past administrations, both civilian and millitary. As Nigeria popular began to explode, nothing was done to improve on power infrastructure. It was during OBJ's regime that they tried to. But obviously, the plan was faulty. They built more gas dependent power stations when they never made plans to generate these gas to the stations. Then too was the transmission lines which couldnt support the population we had. During GEJ administration, had they been serious with it, and allow transparency to occur, they could have achieved. But they obviously saw the power situation as a means to enrich themselves more and more. |

This thing did not begin now during Fashola's tenor. He is just explaining to you. This has been the arrangement for long. And that is how it is possible to keep using the kainji dam. If you think you can do it better, maybe when you become a minister you can change the agreement with Niger and Benin. 2 Likes |

ElSherriff: Bros, Pls shut it and take time to read to understand..........less you're sounding more idiotic on something so basic in logic. Ok let's help you. When Niger builds a Dam on their end of the river Niger, will the "power" of the flow river not have depleted and will make Kainji Power station redundant? 2 Likes |

The arrangement between Nigeria and her neighbouring countries sharing River Niger has existed for over 30 years (I think it was agreed upon around 1980's). The arrangement is very simple, provide them electricity and water flowing through River Niger is guaranteed all year round. If Nigeria defaults this agreement, then any of those countries could decide to build their own hydroelectric dam on River Niger in the future. This means that Kainji dam will become useless almost instantly! 2 Likes |

jieta: Have you first asked yourself if it's possible for you to get the electricity you need with no water to dam to generate the same electricity you need because your neighbors dam or have diverted the water before it reaches your country? Exactly how are you going to get your own electricity in the first place with no water to dam for electricity? The agreement guarantee that they will not dam the River Niger and as such throw Kainji out of action. I don't know if you people are really clueless, thoughtless and dumb or you are just playing clueless, thoughtless and indeed dump. 2 Likes |

No wonder Nigerians are suffering. We have a very poor thinking government. A government that doesn't care for its people. Do you think if Aso rock depended on that current its giving out, it will continue to give it out? But because its Nigerians that need it right?[/quote] Hey listen if Benin or Niger should decide to dam their own part of the five to generate their own electricity then kainji dam will cease to exist as it won't have enough water to turn the turbines generation electricity yo Nigerians. So in other words they are doing Nigeria a favour after all they are paying for the electricity though I expect our Nigerian government to re negotiate the MW they will sell to them so we can have more light time 1 Like |
