I've always known this fact.


Only a lunatic will promise Nigerians (in all local governments and creeks) stable & uninterrupted power.

It is impossible in Nigeria. Even when you supply all the megawatts and "terrawatts", some Nigerians are ma. d, they'll purposely cut off cables, steal transformer parts, destroy poles, refuse to pay bills, and several other atrocities.

If you vote in any government (FashoRAT, Boko_hari or JonaTAN) thinking he'll provide you constant electricity, then you are a lunatic.

This fact goes beyond monetary factors. Its more of psychology and up-bringing as a nation.

Before we talk about providing electricity and maintenance; first, we need to fix, and reconstruct the brains of all Nigerians, including you reading this.

Quote me wrongly, and get yourself a thunderous slap.

DWJOBScom:


An intelligent analysis and I agree with you but the slap my brother is not necessary na
People don't want to think anymore - they just listen to the lies and poo told by politicians and believe them without doing a research on their own

For starters the 8MW IPP built in Lagos island cost about 6 billion naira, that is less than 1 bn naira per MW, who no go school now?

The average benchmark depending on if your plant is hydro, gas, coal or nuclear fired is $1Bn per 1000MW, your prof is olodo

Why is it dt In Nigeria only good governance is impossible but all forms of corruption are highly possible nd in highest order with dis present govt. do we need a change or we should stick to dis govt?
hit like for change or share to stick wit GEJ.
Btw, is dis what they called FTC?

dguyindcorner:


such money cannot be found but can be embezzled.

Nebo should resign if he cant deliver... Sadly, he is saying the truth.

*Critically analysing the frastructures on ground, there is need for total overhauling of both infrastructures and human resources.

You should factor in the cost of generating, transmitting and distributing 2 megawatts capacity to consumers. He was not talking about generation alone.

For the guy that used d calculation of 1 Watt when using a solar system to compare what Prof Nebo is saying needs to redo his calculations
Electrical energy production is not about cables or dam, but it's a complex system of operation where before you make used of your reading lamp at home lots of processes have been involved. Talking about the generation, transmission and distribution. Yes we need change, but note, change is not instant rather is a gradual process

As for the inverter calculation you did for 1W using solar system, I think you have to recalculate. For one to be able to produces as small as a powr of 1W, one needs a photovoltaic cell called a solar panel, an inverter, a battery charger and a battery (a deep cycle). My final year poject was d design and construction of a modified sine wave 1kva solar powered inverter, may I tell you that the construction of d inverter was not contracted out, I still spent about #100,000.00k only. That is only on just IKVA not even 5kva, nt to talk about 1MW. I think Prof Nebo knows what he meant

I stand to be corrected. Godbless Nigeria!

Binutiri:
....check out sweden of 9 million population....electricity...

ogene007:

Your assumptions are putting you n error. The Prof gave an average holistic cost that factors in cost of gas pipelines/supplies to the GENCOs, cost of evacuating over very long distances running into hundreds over kilometres of transmission, cost of distribution facilities to different class of consumers. Please, don't come here to cast aspersion on people that are far more educated and informed than you are. You simply do not have data on the specifics of what the erudite Prof was talking about.

what is this uninformed one blabbing SA built Medupi power station $4,800MW for less than $16b and you are telling me its logicall to build same in Nigeria for over $4 trillion . I see how reasonable you are

ocelot2006:


You are a BLOODY FOOL!! Was GEJ in power for 16 years OR just 5/6 years? What the hell did the likes of GMB, OBJ and co do to resolve this power issue that has plagued this nation from time immemorial? Yet you have the audacity to insult me. You must be a demented goat. Blockhead.

ogene007:

I don't want to say that your post is moronic, but your comment on the availability of gas is similar to someone saying that africa should not be complaining of drought in sahara desert when we have the atlantic ocean that can supply water to the entire desert. Now let me educate you, we are flaring gas because the cost of building infrastructure that will harness the gas and make it available to the GENCOs whose facilities are scattered across the entire country is not cost effective. The figures involved is in the region of billions of dollars, not to talk of the fact that the investment of the gas companies would need to be protected from the regular vandals and saboteurs who are bursting the gas pipelines. Prof Nebo was speaking holistically when he was providing the figures he gave in his address, and it is just goes to show that some people are not qualified to process and objectively analyse some data that are being made available by the technocrats in GEJ's government.

i cant wait to have governor Babatunde Raji Fashola as the next minister of power. The tide is about to change. Vote the stealing party out. March 28, 2015. We will wait for them @ the polls.
