jmaine:

Dont you think this line of yours is very stale and lacking content . . .

1) OBJ started something that was poorly implemented cos the power projects were bereft of means to supply their gas powered turbines . .

2) These poorly implemented projects were abandoned for 3 solid years during the late Yar Adua regime . . .

3) GEJ came in to re-activate these poorly planned and abandoned projects . .he also ensured their master plan was retweaked to ensure adequate,appropriate and prompt supply of needed gas meant for them . .

They also delivered on that gas - supply timeline which is the sole reason our power generation has increased to our all time high and the main reason for the much acknowledged improved supply

Hopefully by the end of this year, when the on coming NIPPs are expected to be commisioned . .I just hope you will applaud them than engage in needless criticism

rhymz: why are you ranting ignorantly with your bad english? The question is this, do you submit that you are more informed, better positioned, privy to data and information about Nigeria's power sector than Prof Barth Nnaji, Yes or No?
Just shut the hell up and answer the question, you rant too much nonsense.
Writing BS per second does not neccessarily mean you are smart dude.

chucky234: People like you are the reason why this country is in a terrible state,dose the fact that Nnaji hold degrees in system engineering or CEO of Geometrics System Ltd makes him the most informed human about power generation?
Use your brain my friend,this country will never move forward if we continue to believe that the empty heads up there are better informed than us.
Nigeria spends far higher than what South Africa and Brazil combined spend on power annually yet SA generates 45,000MW to serve 58 million people while Brazil generates 100,000MW to serve 200 million people yet we celebrate 4000MW that serves 168 million people,haba wetin dey control your brain na.

kutchs: Fool the fact that Nnaji is the minister in charge of power means that he knows more than you do about power in Nigeria and I will take his above urs anyday anywhere. Ur second parapgraph tells us what we know already but does it change the fact that it was idiots and crooks like you that crippled the system in the first place. Why does it pain you that money (even if in billions) is being spent to reactivate the system? Nothing good comes easy and cheap, I do not support corruption but our present situation requires that whatever it takes must be done to bring the whole generation, transmision and distribution system back to life.

homerac7:

this part is what i hv always pointed out to people, against d brazen lies being peddled about by d fooolish 40 laptop group dt GEJ magically pulled off electric power increase within 2+ yrs of his tasteless, colourless and odourless rule. only a simpleton believes dt mega-projects as power plants and systems r planned, financed, constructed and fired at capacity under 3 yrs. na soup?

chucky234: Nnaji have spent close to $18bn to generate 1,200MW while Brazil spent just $10bn to generate 10,000MW,your type should be locked up in Kirikiri for encouraging mismanagement of public funds.

take dat: You must think we are all fools to believe you.Eventhough we all agreed that OBJ mis managed funds meant for power project but we also know that his govt conceptualized almost all existing projects.In your bid to give GEJ all the credits,you claimed Yaradua did nothing for 3yrs when we knew that GEJ was part of the team n they were working towards 6000mw though till this day it still remain unrealistic.Power gen,tranms and distribution is a gradual and continuous thing even GEJ attested to that lately that before Nigerians can rejoice it will be around 2020..

take dat:
So please dont pull others down just because you want to paint GEJ as the messiah[b] he did not start from ground Zero he also met some on going projects and existing structures.[/b]

femary___: So it takes a decade right?

chucky234: What question are you talking about here,you must be an idio:t to ask me such question.
You call a man who has so far spent close to $18bn dollars to generate 1,200MW a competent minister when Brazil spent $10bn to generate 10,000MW which took their total capacityt to 100,000MW,do you think with your brain?

chucky234: Where did you get your 4,477MW from? What we have in distribution is below 4000MW and you are celebrating your daftness already,what do you know about power generation and can you tell me how much money the govt has spent in the past 24 months just to generate 1000MW of electricity that you are celebriting?
Take a day off google and analyse real life situations,haba open your brain and eyes na.

rhymz: hahahahahah. . . I see you are on an ego ride here, it is obvious you are not here to debate but to get popular by insulting everyone with contrary views.
You prolly must have seen that thread about Nairalanders whose fights and posts made them popular, so now monkey like you with a less than average I.Q want to copy thesame method to climb to the ladder of ignominy . . .lol.
In your own case you are not a good game, I would have played you. Just that your I.Q is far below in the lower rungs. The likes of Beaf you are trying so hard to imitate possess far more intellect in a strand of hair on their head than the entire brain in your thick skull can process.
Go and try something else you are prolly good at. Politically Intellectual debates such as this one is obviously not your forte no matter how hard you pretend. Hurling insults and concocting spurious figures from your ignorant a$$ still does not make you any smarter than your currently below average mark.
Any !d!ot can use google carelessly like you do and still come across as $toopid as you. Keep ranting on NL like a Dolt, apparently this is the closest you will ever get to discussing politics with your betters, relish this opportunity NL has granted you, when you are through with this rare opportunity you don't get in real life, don't forget that you are still a dolt and loser that can't surpass the average level of reasoning.

Kobojunkie:

While I am not sure of the exact numbers, I think there is still that disparity between what is actually generated and what is transmitted to be dealt with. According to one report the 4477MW number is amount of power generated however but not amount of power put into the grid.

airfinance: Devil will punish ths people for all the nonsense. Nigerians have been subjected to many traumatic situation owing to their deceit and high level of corruption. We need to take and occupy nigeria before the nation goes in total destruction.
E Gbami O: 1. Crude Oil production/day - 2.5M barrels
2. Current Price = $113/barrel
3. Daily Sales = 2.5M x 113 = $282.5million
4. Monthly Sales = 282.5M x 30days = $8.475billion
5. Yearly Sales = $8.475billion x 12 = $101.7billion
6. Naira Equivalent = 101.7billion x #160 = 16.272trillion naira per year.
7. Nigeria's budget for 2012 = 4.5trillion naira.
Now d question is: Where is d surplus going?!

Ignorance is very bad. I wonder whether some of us just bother to read through topics before jumping to advertise our illiteracy on this forum.
The current capacity is 4,477 megawatts. Shiroro and Kainji hydro contributes 300 MW to the national grid.
There's going to be a drop definitely when rainy season stops but d drop won't exceed 300 Mw as AMADI said.
If you minus 300mw from existing 4,477 mw , it still leaves you with above 4,000 MW.
How is this so difficult to understand?

Dhelake: .... Broz, take it easy on d guy ... according to page 14 of saturday punch .. D Average National Generation (Daily) is still 4,308MW .... one funny tin dat amaze me wit d guy(dedeike) is d fact dat he insults pple freely sayin dey are ignorant, whereas, his own figures ar nt correct

ajimicky01: What we need to know is what we don't know, this is our God's own country, & there is a need for us to jointly develop it. So let us think of generating electricity through another source like solar & gas, so that our country will a better place for foreign investors. God bless nigeria!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

chucky234: Popular on NL? You must be high on some cheap alomo bitters to think that fame on annonymous forum mean anything to me,maybe you should go through my previous posts on this issue in the last few months to know my stand on this.
The last time I checked you have not contributed anything positive to the development of this country with your above average IQ nor did you make any meaningful contributions on NL,you are just an empty barrel with loud sound disturbing your neighbourhood.
I served Sure King Petroleum Corporation,Hongkong and was able to convince them in 2009 to partner with NNDC to mined solid minerals in Nigeria but the Nigerian factor prevented them from coming. In same year I spoke one of the technical managers at Daewoo Korea office to develop Hyro Power system in Nigeria,I also worked with an Austrian Amerian to bring Paradise Renewables Inc,USA to develop green projects in Nigeria. None materialised but at least I tried contribute my own quota,what have you done to better this country in your wretched life.
You dumbly claimed to have above average IQ and yet know notthing about the Nigeria political circle,your mumu go last.

chucky234: My brother Nigerians will never contribute positively to the development of this country,all they do is sit behind their pentium 4 desktop computers to post garbage on NL.
I have approached people to invest on solar and wind turbine power system but they tossed me like a piece of rag,I have a very good contact with a Singapore company based in the UK who are into alternative power generation systems.
