More ignorant rubbish, not interested.


You ignorantly asserted that I should Go and check Egypt's nuclear plans. Ordinary freeking plans when your own country already signed an agreement to build 4 power plants in Nigeria.

To break it down, Egypt with no nuclear power plants, no functioning nuclear power plants and not even ordinary contract for nuclear power plant is doing great and ahead of Nigeria while Nigeria with 4 nuclear power plant agreement with Russian is clueless and behind.


What a born dullard.

Just keep up with reeding and comprehension.

Boss, do u mean that if Niger should construct a dam now, that it will block the river and Kainji would not be able to function again?

ElSherriff:
Fashola we trusted you, now you are spewing this nonsense? Which dam? ehn? stop selling to them, when they overflow the dam, sanction them. sell something else not what you do not have in abundance.

sapele914:
Kid n Play,why show your ignorance to the whole world,if you don't understand an issue why open your shallow mind and spit rubbish?shut up,even the scripture says when a fool keeps quiet he is thought to be clever. Doughnut brain don't you know the River Niger flows through Republic of Niger and if they were to build their own dam it will drop the water level coming to Kainji dam and with the low water level, kainji dam in Nigeria would not be able to generate electricity. I can see you must have gone to a very poor standard primary and secondary school because these is elementary social science and geography.

Kay17:


Niger river flows across several West African countries before it reaches Nigeria. You wouldn't want those countries damming the river and thereby deprive you of a main source

2oby:



Am sure u really dont have good knowledge of the subject matter.
Fasola is very correct. Our dams r sustained by the water pressure passing through this country. If they block this water for their dam, water pressure reaching us will b greatly reduced.

Truthisit:
Mr. Elsheriff, you don't know how things work in this sector. I am sure you are a customer care officer in a bank who has little or no knowledge of the geography of river Niger, it's tributaries and traverses. Google will enlighten you about this.

mapet:



Bros,

Pls shut it and take time to read to understand..........less you're sounding more idiotic on something so basic in logic.

Ok let's help you. When Niger builds a Dam on their end of the river Niger, will the "power" of the flow river not have depleted and will make Kainji Power station redundant?

chillykelly86:


You obviously don't understand how a dam runs and what keeps it running and you don't even know that you don't know. Humility pays a lot. Humble yourself and learn.
Dams need millions of liters water to collect in them in order to generate sufficient pressure to keep the turbines rolling at optimum capacity. Already, the impact of insufficient water supply to Kainji is felt during the dry season.
If any of the countries through which the Niger River runs before hitting Nigeria, decides to channel some substantial volume of the Niger River away (say for irrigation purposes), then you'll be left with a worthless Kainji Hydroelectric "Power" Station. The Power comes from the water, that's why its called "Hydro"electric. So without the water, the station is powerless.

zomoears:


The river Niger flows through several countries and the waters that reach us originate from several countries. Before the dam was established,an agreement was signed with all these countries that they wont establish their dams upstream,so as to ensure sustainable water levels for Kainji. Part of the agreement includes selling electricity to them.
#kainjifacts.

ElSherriff:
Why the hell do you all think its a very very smart idea to sell electricity to these countries as a 'guarantee'? It is way cheaper for them to buy generated electricity than building their dams, so we already have an upper hand. It is already a stress on our National output since we never even have enough to sustain 18 hours nonstop.

Kainji Dam was completed in the 60s with capacity to provide less than 1500mw of electricity, what efforts have we made since then to improve our power generation capacity? for the countries in the world that have stable electricity without the 'pressure' of river Niger how exactly have they done it?

And yes, do not let no one fool you. There are artificial technologies. google pumped water storage and what the swiss have done. Also, try and study the artificial dams of the world and see what Nigeria can do once and for all. Now Kainji Dam was built with less than 300m USD, Switzerland has returned close to a billion USD of stolen funds to Nigeria.

I wont even bother going into details of exactly how Nigeria can begin to utilize whatever she has of the Niger River when Lords Benin and Niger decide to 'cut off' their sections of the Niger River. You know why? Cos Nigerians are gullible, they have accepted mediocrity and can kill to justify it.

The next time you wanna quote me, show so decorum.

These are more serious countries. If you are ready to swallow poo and not daring, I am not.

It is a share waste of my time to continue to engage you in needless explanation to assuage your ignorace. In fact it is no brainer why some of you yoots are not in leadership, will either not make it to leadership or the little stride you make in leadership you will loose it fast.

Kay17:


The idea is that Nigeria as well as those countries desire electricity for industrialization. So electricity is a precondition for greater development. Now with that in mind, why would everyone settle for less. Besides the electricity is not exported in containers stacked at the port. So those countries need a relatively close source either from their immediate neighbors or create a long-lasting solution like a dam.

Now if you think Kainiji Dam has outlived its usefulness then you wouldn't mind the river dammed but if you lose the 1000MW Kainiji offers Nigeria then you would have more darkness in Nigeria.

Thankfully you are not the minister

ElSherriff:
Hahahahah, at last you will now know me. I am currently a Secretary to a Local Government having been elected a councillor on the books of the APC. And yes, I am 32 Years old. Next time you want youths in leadership ask me. Yes this is an alter account!
Enjoy your joblessness and continuous acceptance of small things!

...or the little stride you make in leadership you will loose it fast

NoToPile:
Lots of ignorant folks on this thread.

Everybody knows the reason why we sell electricity to those countries. Its not an agreement that was signed yesterday or even five years ago, its been like that for quite a while.

If those countries dam the water nothing is going to flow to naija and that's why the agreement was made in the first place.

People need to read oo.

Lighthouseman:

no one has right to block even a stream that passes through. blocking it means you are denying people downstream of their source of livelihoods and it could be termed genocide.
imagine someone blocking your way to your office where u make ur livelihood... what would u result to.
It's called riparian rights ... Both the tributor and tributee have right to the water resources including electricity. imagine if nigeria blocked the niger from flowing into the Atlantic ocean what would happen to these countries? They would become rivers and not countries and if it burst... nigeria becomes a river too. It's a win win situation.

deomelo:



And this empty vessel joker is yet to contribute anything beyond mindless ramblings.

Loonyy:
y dem even construct the dam in the first place, were Atlantic ocean flow through Bordor in rivers state and Ikot Abasi in akwa ibom. nonsense government with shiftsided development

TheMortician:
My point is, since Nigeria barely has enough electricity for itself why not use her economic power in the subregion to negotiate other ways of compensation instead of selling what she doesn't have? (2) The honourable minister wasn't even taking about alternative source of power generation when other African countries with less electricity demand have gone nuclear. But he was still hitting on kanji dam which is as useless as our independence.

when magnified idiots like you grace the Internet, they often critique people's submission without facts. And you wonder why the only interview you have ever been invited for since your everlasting joblessness is for the possition of a mortuary attendant.

You're the brain-damaged, barely-literate Nairaland foremost nuisance who goes about arguing out of point and logic in all front page thread on this forum. Whenever you're outclassed and out-fact, you veer into non-topic to save face which only makes you appear stupider than you began.

Seems you're looking for your oblique destiny in Nairaland.
Air-headed simpleton

i thought most of the people in nairaland are learned... Minister of Power Fashola has made his point and it is valid... if you don't know what it means to Dam a river please google is your friend.... I'm surprised that majority of the people on this thread don't know our largest source of electricity.... this is not theory...welcome to practical... and please it is not a most u comment... hold your peace on things that are beyond u or go learn more about it....

YorubaNigga:

As for Nigeria who has dam her own, does that mean our river ain't flowing elsewhere to other countries?

TheMortician:
[s]I get it, you're trying to distort my remarks into an unpatriotic shade to get cheap likes and derail the debate away from your severe congenital mental limitation.

Rant on, but I feel your shame. Nairaland is where you measure your unproductive life so you won't take lessons from someone whose education far superseded yours!

South Africa's nuclear plans like Egypt's are ongoing and none is yet functional. And that's what I stated. You on the other hand was running around with the idea Egypt hasn't signed any contract (when she has 2 years ago) like a cheap prostitute paid in dollars for the first time.
You tell cheap lies just to win an argument when your brain is as empty as a book-less library.

Your country's nuclear power plans has flown away or tell me where it has been mentioned since this administration took office. Your minister is ranting about a 40-year old dam that can only produce 500 megawatts and selling off some of it to neighboring countries without stating plans for an upgrade and alternate power generation, and a dim-witted puppet like you sees nothing wrong!

For you to claim I never knew nigeria signed a nuclear deal with Russia during GEJ's regime when I was the one who first said it here to you..a post you even quoted, means, you're a wizard tormented by your demons of delusions of persecution and a petty-minded doofus who measures his importance with his posts in Nairaland.

That's why you don't admit when you're wrong. Your inferiority complex was really built to last hence you walk all over Nairaland with a plethora of alternate accounts drooling over topics whose contents are too heavy for your fragile mental architecture to support.

Anyone who chops off your fingers with a tetanus-infected blade has done the entire cyber community an incalculable favour.

You're suffering from chronic attention deficit syndrome and you love seeing your lunacy in digital prints.

Mentally imbecilitated psychoneurotic dweeb[/s].

TheMortician:
South Africa is building two giant nuclear plants.
And she's already having over 40,000 megawatts with 53 million people while Nigeria is just 4,000 with 180 million population
Your ignorance is truly exemplary!

deomelo:



Reading and comprehension failed you.


The plant generates 760MW and Niger gets only 45MW and we keep the rest.

Btw, they still pay for the 45MW.
