Stupid Govt


Extremely foolish leaders.

Later they will blame MTN and DSTV for reaping us off.

Who powers a mast with Generator and Diesel ? angry

Buhari and his team of nincompoops can not just Give us Power and Fight corruption.

We don't need any other thing to them.

The foolish masses will vote PDP back to power in 2019 and the same Atiku, Saraki will still be the bed rock of the party

Let him start with passing a bill which will stop the use of generators in National Assembly complex, government institutions and in the houses of all public servants, and see how fast they will fix the light problem of this country fast.

Despite we are not under servitude and not under occupation yet we cannot rule ourselves well.

Obviously another minister of power is needed.

You can have a solar system and do without the generator.

I don't think you people can do anything positive about the electricity. We've lost faith in the present crop of Nigerian politicians. We need new leaders with great new visions to move us forward. We are tired.

Re: Nigeria Spends $5bn On Generators Annually by yongg: 11:29pm On Jul 18, 2017
If I didn't know any better I would probably think that Nigeria spends way more than this estimated $5bn on generators.

The figures I was hearing some facility manager of a well known hotel call out for generating plant for barely a week was unnerving. Mind you, this was when there was no recession yet and oil prices where higher than the current.

Just wondering, did they consider the cost of the generator purchase and servicing as well?

Since I was a kid in my 80s the condition of power in Nigeria never improved..I grew up to shout 'up nepa'..The 1990s generations came on board,I still heard them shout 'up nepa'..The millennium generations came in too ,they still shout same chorus with us till date....I seriously weep for this country...God will surely punish all these bad leaders. If a desert like UAE could be transformed to a beautiful city with little or no resources then how much more Nigeria with all the available resources.

You guys haven't learnt your lessons yet hence you will continue to suffer. Does it matter which party leads the nation in the next regime. Are they not nigerians who make up the party? Are the members of APC not members of PDP at one time?

He explained that the lawmakers were reviewing some of Nigeria’s energy laws to provide appropriate legal framework that would facilitate the exploitation of renewable energy to the benefit of the economy.
According to him, power is arguably the single most important driver of the national economy.


Renewable energy? Seriously ? What is the problem with the non-renewable energy that we have now? What happened to all the money the present and last administrations pumped into providing constant electricity for this nation? What can be done to what we have presently to take us to where we desire to be? Does their exploring renewable energy mean that what we have today cannot be fixed? In short, what have they been doing in the electric sector for the past 20 - 40 years? If whatever they have been doing since all these years has not been working why have they not looked for alternative since? Our country is rich, we have great talents and we can even afford to pay the best expatriates to fix our electricity problems; so, what is stopping us?! angry

Dogara did not mention the abundant amount of coal that can solve this our power problem! If you know him, tell him coal in Enugu alone can solve Nigeria's power problem in the shortest possible time. I am ready to consult if they need an expert on that.

SalamRushdie:
Buhari couldn't add a single Mega watt to what he met

What a shame , an absolute lack of knowledge does destroy the people.

The transmission capacity of Nigeria had been greatly increased over the last two years and there have been actions both financial and legislative to stimulate growth in the power sector.

The GEJ government did a poor job of privatisation (lead by the absent Engineer VP Sambo) the infrastructure was sold to GENCOs and DISCOs who had no proper evaluation, limited knowledge of the industry and inadequate injection of funds, the agreements were flawed and the process was opaque.

The only section of the power triangle the government held full control over was the transmission which had been greatly improved now the downstream sector of LNG and the GENCOs need to play their part
