I was wondering how that was possible when South Africa alone generates over 40 000 Megawatts until I saw the screen shots.

Bill Gates himself is a hypocrite, I know he is one of those who go around throwing that ''renewable energy'' shît, now he is shoving the fact that a state in the US produces more electricity than most African countries combined into our faces.
What he failed to tell us is that more than 50% of electricity in the US is gotten from coal, the same coal that they discourage foolish and gullible Africans from using in the name of environmental protection. The only African country that generates a reasonable amount of electricity, South Africa relies heavily on coal (about 90%) for its electricity generation.
Coal plants are relatively cheap, reliable and a single plant can produce as much electricity as all the Gas plants we have in Nigeria combined and multiplied by 2.

So is it because of his so called hypocrisy that we as a Nation have refused to develop ourselves?

Is it because U.S.A is pushing for green energy, that Nigeria cannot utilize it's coal AT ALL?

Are they tying our Hands?

You speak so positively about coal being cheap, and reliable, so tell me again why is Nigeria not using it, why are all our coal mines dead?

Sometimes you just have to take the punch to the face without complaining, if you know that deep down, you deserved that punch in the first place.
