Our posts and topics can speak for themselves. Mind you, to support does not mean you cannot critisize constructively or that you are a mumu.

Dummy, Is NigerSat 2 not in space right now? Has it not been there for over 7 years? Olodo.
So, going by your own logic, it doesn't matter if one satellite gets lost in space, as long as you can boast that the other one is not lost? You need to reformat your thinking machine.

Talking serious projects in Nigeria is like child's play. No seriousness at all. Even if it were serious this project will take 10years after approvals and inspections. With that said, i say build it in a state close to the country where the fuel is brought in from, so that there is no transportation mishaps. The fuel is mostly in Niger, so borno and co should host it, if it is coming from congo, then abia, imo, or cross river should host it. If it is coming from russia, then Lagos or ogun should host it. It is actually a good and reliable power if maintained properly. It will help businesses, homes, rail, etc

Russia Signs Agreement With Nigeria to Build Nuclear Power Plant

By Paul Burkhardt

Bloomberg

Russia has signed agreements with Nigeria to build and operate a nuclear power plant in the oil-rich West African nation that has a deficit of reliable power and faces security challenges by Islamist militants in the far northeast.

Feasibility studies for the plant and a research center construction will include site screening, capacity, financing, and time frames of the projects, state-owned Russian nuclear company Rosatom said in an emailed statement.

The nations in 2009 signed an intergovernmental agreement on cooperation in the field of the peaceful usage of nuclear technologies. Nigeria in 2015 was in talks with Rosatom to build as many as four nuclear power plants costing about $20 billion, the Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission said at the time.

Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation, distributes an average of 4,500 megawatts of electricity. Half the output of the Egbin power plant, the nation’s biggest, is lost because of inadequate transmission infrastructure, its chief officer said last month.

Rosatom is seeking to build nuclear power plants in other countries on the continent including South Africa.

Is it that people don't read at all? The Russians are going to build and operate it, meaning the argument being put up about maintenance is void. I believe we should be asking how government is planning to tackle the transmission deficit so that whatever power is generated won't be lost as is the present case

Interesting they finally got this deal done. I've been hearing talks for years. Now who wants it in their state? I remember they wanted to site it in Akwa Ibom but it was resisted. Nuclear power statistically is safest form of power if you are diligent about maintenance. Next we don't have natural disasters. They only issue is Nigerian factor. I have zero confidence in federal government managing the plant.

What I would like to see is a study on feasibility of thorium salt reactor. I read its safer than uranium reactor and can't be used to make nuclear bombs.

Front Page: Lalasticlala
Statitically safest what does this statement mean? It has no meaning.
There is no basis for comparing "statistically" as you say.

How many nuclear plants are there in the entire world. First of all construct 100000 nuclear plants before talking of statistically safest

Hehe, my man we're about to concession our airports to foreign countries, AIRPORTS, where are our expert airport maintenance people? Do you know the extent of oil pollution we're battling with in the Niger delta? Common oil, even drilling waste is not being disposed safely, hell....the trash bin in your street, is it being properly managed? nuclear expert, well I'm sure the project will never come to fruition, just for your overlords to loot some money into personal coffers, why am I even bothering myself?

Accident per KW of energy generated. Did you read link or just didn't understand what you read? You don't need to build calculate that statistics. Even the medicine you consume isn't even tested on 100,000 people before it's deemed safe for humans.

Where will Nigeria get money from to fund such a monumental project from considering the chronic borrowing nature of the Buhari's government?
He is busy wasting our resources prospecting for oil that no more have value in the world market in the northern region with associated wastage of precious lives by BH then now this. undecided

Please kindly build this power plant in the North. I think this sort of development should be done there so that when (not if) there is a melt-down they can realize their stupidity. We have not finished maintaining Thermal and Hydro power we want to go nuclear.
