Nigeria
The acclaimed giant of Africa with population of over 150million people.
Has spent over 150billion dollars so far in the power sector and all we can show for it is a power generation that swings between 25,000Gwh and 34,000Gwh (2800Mw and 4000Mw)
That is about 18W-26W not even enough to charge a laptop only good enough for a single energy saving bulb per person if shared equally amongst the 150million populace.

With a GDP of over $573,999,000,000 How do we compare to other developing countries that generate much less than Nigeria?

Uzbekistan
The eastern Europe country has a population of 31million
GDP of $62,613,000,000
Generates 54,000GWH of electricity (that is about 6200 MW)
200watts per person
What will this power? At least each person can watch tv with that and charge some phones

Greece
Another developing country in Europe, with a population of 10.9 million people.
GDP of $237,970,000,000
And generates 58,300 GWH of electricity (6700MW)

What will it power? Each person can power TV, lights, phone charging, fan all together

Romania
Yet another developing european country with population of 19.5Million inhabitants.
GDP: $199,093,000,000
Generates 59,400Gwh (6827.5 MW)

Ok

Ok

lots of "OKs" mynd1 and cosby, well done o.

sambisamana:
what i want to read is 'countries that are more populated than Nigeria and
generate more electricity'

NOTE: all countries that are more populated than Nigeria Generate far more than Nigeria. There is No country with over a 150million people that generates less than 20,000Mw

there's nothing like Nigeria as a country, we jst dey deceive our self

what i want to read is 'countries that are more populated than Nigeria and generate more electricity'

hope buhari gives us d 12000 mw as promised by him

Lalasticlala what do you think?

Back to the topic. We still have a long way to go.
4000Mw is not anything to be celebrated, that is not enough for lagos state alone. I hope we harness other renewable source of energy (wind, solar and biogas) which we have in abundance

Source please?.....that aside,Nigeria get in own problem,not everything that works outside works here,to make it work,it starts with you

what is killing this country is hausa must lead and pure nepotism. check nta for example , hausa people have killed it, its now remaining nigeria and some people are clapping for them

Do you have any country in mind? I just told you all countries more populous generate much more than nigeria. I mean far much more. Why focus on Africa?

You can't dissociate the military from Nigeria's problems. You are very right sir, started with them

And it drops even lower now 1580MW. How is this to serve 170million people. Way forward?

We don't need elecrricity, says the Niger Deltan terrorists that have been blown up our gas line thereby cutting out gas supply for power generation.

hehehehe

Buhari promised the injection of 20,000MW per annum while fashola agreed that delivering such ain't rocket science.
