This is really disturbing...

Last night while surfing the net, I stumbled on some very shocking information. Do you know China generates about 5,682TW (Terawatts) of electricity. I'm pretty sure 99% of Nigerians don't even know what a Terawatts is...

If I remember correctly, some time last year the Minister of Power said Nigeria has the potential of generating 12,000MW (Megawatts) but unfortunately we've only attained a maximum of 5,000MW in the history of a country of 180million people.

Now I decided to use a converter to see what China and other industrialized nations who operate within the Terawatts region will generate in Megawatts.

So let's convert terawatts to megawatts;

China. 5,682,000,000MW
USA. 4,324,000,000MW
India. 1,368,000,000MW
Japan. 995,000,000MW
UK. 338,000,000MW
Nigeria. 5,000MW

Seriously Nigerians, is this possible? Did I make a mistake in my conversion because I don't want to believe this...

Are we cursed or what? With all the abundance in this country! What sort of people are we? Yet we rally round these politicians and so called clergy men and support blindly based on tribe or religion, when at the long run we're the ones being screwed!

How can a nation of over 180million people depend on less than 5,000MW of power? How can we grow economically? Where will the development come from when we don't have the capacity.

All we engage ourselves in are tribal/religious wars/killings daily, corrupt leaders in the public and private sectors looting the country's wealth, lawlessness without fear of the law, broken down systems, schools, hospitals, basic infrastructure all collapsed.

I can't believe where we are as a nation. Its a shame really! We should be ashamed of ourselves as Nigerians. I wonder what other nations think about us.

What a waste!

ohh ok
All the foreign Phds and professors we've been having should come up with a solution.
And i am sure its not going to be hydro or gas turbines. It need to coal plants or nuclear plants.
Check those countries again and you'll find out they all have nuclear capability.
The minister some choose to call clueless has said it already see below

The Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, has accused western powers of being a stumbling block to Nigeria’s plan to improve power output through the use of coal. Adeosun said this on Wednesday in Washington during a discussion on the importance of addressing infrastructure gaps in developing countries at the World Bank, International Monetary Fund General Meetings.

She said that improving power supply was the corner stone of the current administration’s goal towards economic development, yet finding it difficult to get support from western community. “We want to build a coal power plant because we are a country blessed with coal, yet we have power problem. So it doesn’t take a genius to workout that it will make sense to build a coal power plant.

Whereas some ministers of power were not able to suggest a way forward instead to choose to sale nepa to themselves

I blame BUHARI, upon all the mouth he made during election Nigeria's power generation keep dropping....

Shame to APC.......


LALASTICALA!!! Abeg front page....

We lack the knowhow. When new technology is developed that will make power more affordable we will have a chance.

chai!! Na so we see am oo.
THIS IS PAINFUL!!

Blame BUHARI, el-rufai for sponsoring the FULANI herdsmen...

the only way to increase power generation in Nigeria by 1MW is to increase electricity tariff by 200%. smh
