porka:

It is not yet upto what we need or want, but electricity supply in Nigeria is improving.

It may be due to many factors, e.g. rainy season, when hydro-dams are full, we await the dry season to verify that.

But is has improved. It is a FACT.

Again, you don't get to tack on the word 'fact' to the end of anything you say. Compared to what we had, it is NO FACT that the situation as improved. If anything, we are lower than where we were in January of 2012. The fact is the numbers do not agree with your claim. We are currently lower on average than we were in , say February 2012, January 2012, in December 2011, in September 2011 (note these are dates I am able to somewhat verify average generation/outs into grid for ).

agabaI23: We are not celebrating mediocrity. We are only happy there is a significant improvement where there was none. Assuming you have a daughter whose position has been 40th in a class of 40 and in the last exam her position changes from 40 to 30, because you changed her private teacher, what will be your assessment of her performance? A. Has Improved B. Has Not improved
Will you be happy that something has changed or not? I am sure as a good parent you will tell her you have done better but this is not the destination. That is what we are saying. Power has shifted from last position. We are not celebrating it. We acknowledging what we have experienced. That is not a celebration of mediocrity.

If my daughter has consistently come 40th out of 40th. . .then yes I would see 30th as improvement.

However that is not the case here, power supply has been erratic. . .Good for 5 days, horrible for another 10, beyond horrible for another 20 then we have another 10 days of half current, 4 days quarter current, no current for 12 days and high current for 1 min (because all your bulb have exploded as a result) Let's even talk of the days where the current is at the highest, you have to shut everything off so you don't get electrocuted.

So going back to the scenario with my daughter. . .If she has been all over the place with her results like the Power Supply, NO WAY IN HELL I will be applauding any change until it lasts longer than the all the previous changes.

agabaI23: Both the effort of the teacher and the motivation from the mother is needed. The motivation here is the acknowledgement. From your answer, I guess you have inadvertently accepted there is an improvement. So you chose option A. Now answer the second question. Will you be happy?

But is the improvement going to be consistent or was it just random?

[size=13pt]If Child A consistently comes 40th out of 40 . . . but after coaching, and maybe counselling, improves to position 30, that is considered is a record-able, and verifiable improvement.

However, if the same Child A, after attaining and maintaining 30th place out of 40 [/b]for a period of time, comes back at the end of one term in [b]36th out of 40 place, that is not an improvement. I don't care if the teacher's comment when handing the child's Report Card to you was "Child A smiles more these day, and draws smiley pictures too", that is not an improvement. More-so when we consider the Billions of Dollars of our money being spent on this still[/size].

tooooooo much lies by GEJ psychos.

Y'ALL CAN KEEP CELEBRATING MEDEOCRITY AND BE SUFFERING AND SMILING...NONESENSE!!

wait, umma go get a drum and put on some agbada so we can go out and celebrate on the streets, okay folks...but wait a minute; I was in Naija a few weeks ago, the electricity situation is as it was 20 years ago!!! Wtf

Are you minding the mumu's

I wish I was never a Nigerian, probably an American or something. Nigerians from the comments read here have very low IQs

The immediate money the politicians are giving them is worth more than the long term benefit of calling for accountability.

Others just support cuz of ethnic bigotry. How stu.pid can a man be ? well ask dedeike and co

Since I realised u are simply a paid apologist of the destroy Nigeria group,I've stopped taking u serious,I doubt if this is not the only job u do cos u can't always be online talking rubbish and spreading falsehood and ignorance if u are not paid to do it.

That a member of this forum simply brought his observation to the floor,all u can do is rally ur fellow flops to insult him and others who agree with him,well I've always known u to be like that,just that am surprised that u've done it like ur life depends on it,but on a second thought as ur name implies u simply a JUNKIE for crumbs.Go get a life cos earning cheap pay out of malicious and false propaganda wouldn't augur well with u.

My guy, this is why I say the problem with Nigeria is Nigerians themselves!! A city like Toronto in Canada generate and use more electricity that the whole of 160million Nigerians generate and use...and we are supposed believe that things have improved!?!

But if on the other hand Nigerians where like the rest of earthlings, they would have came here and say..."hey guys...since the new 3000megawatts generating power station came online I have seen a huge difference in our area big time and then the rest of us would say congatulations...it's about time!!"

But NO, just as you want us to mindlessly celebrate when y'all boast of ur riches with NO known source...you want us to join the celebration of a none existent power sector improvement!! ...right?

Oga jmaine leave me alone for now, I dey vex. In fact I forgot to add, I went to bini city about 4 weeks ago the road never change o so maybe papabrown would explain.

All I observe is a section of the road leading to bini city (not the way back) is been contructed. The Ore road itself is horrible.

c'mon it is unfair to say something only for people on the net to find out it is a lie. It is very very annoying and disheartening.

Still nothing in the way of an intelligent rebuttal even to that simple scenario put forth there?

Well. . . At least you agree that I am doing a good job getting my point across. And I understand that a certain breed of Nigerians are allergic to the truth, even when it is in their face. The true is ewo to them, and that works for me. But spare the ramblings please.

alj harem: this is how the same iddeiotic people have been lying to us about road construction "massive" road construction by GEJ goons

see road being massively constructed

That is massive construction project a la Nigeria for you now, Why you go come deny that one? See the width of the road self, that one na 4 lanes each side. No need for gutter/drainage, we want make we fit redo all of that road ,call am road construction, and get budget money for it again next year. Check out the smoothness of the ride, especially in the rain. That is a ROAD construction project by Nigerian level and it is massive.

[size=18pt]Electricity Rationing has always been the case in Nigeria(from the 60s), no big deal. While u are screaming about "improvement", many others aren't. We can only scream Hurray, when every nook and crany of the country can attest 2 it, for now, its a mirage.[/size]

All the way from...........?

Tell us where you are and what the light situation is in your area, if you can't shut the eff up.

fella. . .stop bitting ur fingers hard.Nigeria is generating 2700 megawatts daily, that ain't even enough 4 Lagos.So u are yet 2 tell us how d magic happened?

Are people still braying about 3 straight days of electricity?

Meeeeeanwhile, see as these lazy Indians are already "crippled" by what what we endure everyday.

Some people just aren't cut out for life in darkness

Half of India Crippled by Second Day of Power Failures

It's when the lines are down you know who is what.

“I have asked my officers to penalize those states which are drawing more power than their quota,” Mr. Shinde said.

This sounds suspiciously like what a certain someone will say.

ose_o:


I have been back in Nigeria for 2+ years and i have not experienced power this constant for up to a week in any month. so i dont know about your "august break" theory

Check previous post about Electricity improving in Nigeria in previous threads and see if the time frame doesn't fall between August to September.I am giving you a month and come back to this thread if the same can be said about electricity again.I still stand by my word that this wont last for more than a MONTH.So enjoy it while it last

Celebrate the positive steps of your country and leave the Indians alone. You people can't just stand being happy.

It is no secret that Nigeria is blessed with really appalling roads, and that there is a lot of buck-passing between state and federal governments, regarding who ought to have fixed which stretch of highway. With thanks to the irate gentleman who has been so busy repeatedly posting photographs of bad roads in Nigeria, it is pertinent to mention that the subject of this thread is whether or not Nigeria's once abysmal electrical power shortfall has shown signs of abatement, especially as government's plans to privatize that sector gather pace.

From the vast majority of the less wordy responses to this question, it is safe to assume that Johnny B. Goode's comprehensive purge of the Nigerian power sector employee cadre, in conjunction with the federal initiative to privatize the national power grid, is reaping dividends already, lighting up cities, towns and villages across the length and breadth of Nigeria.

Dude when I leave work for home, I know for SURE that there will be light. I know there won't be any surprises, like watching a movie and the screen going blank at the most interesting part. There is no fear of tripping down the stairs because the lights suddenly go off in mid-step.

I am not saying these things to "show off", it is just to show you that there is nothing to be unhappy about. So when you guys throw out words and phrases like Jealousy, doomed, can't stand to be happy. . .you leave us wondering if maybe there isn't a little projecting going on here. In case you don't know what that means. . .this is when you imagine what you are really feeling is being felt by someone else.

So tell me, are you feeling doomed? Are you unhappy? Talk to me.
