emmie14: The last one they borrowed to use, they wasted it. You get mind to ask them to continue borrowing. Later, we'd be the one to pay for it. Our situation is f*cked up! -Lord |

LordAdam16: In as much as I agree with most of what you have said, I don't agree with the "don't blame Nigerians" phrase. If we don't blame ourselves for our failures, then who we go come blame? People want a miracle worker but if you attempt to cover loopholes for corruption Nigerians will descend on you like pirhanas for taking away their daily bread. The moral compass of Nigerians is broken and it needs to be fixed before we can move forward. 1 Like |

LordAdam16: Thanks again for your mature approach to the discuss, I do not claim expertise in this power issues beyond what I glean from tv debates and the news. However, my opting for power decentralization is to enable states with resources to attain sufficiency in power generation to do so and not be stifled by a grid that can't evacuate excess generation or trip- off if below a set mark. I for one have given up on power situation in Nigeria that's why our home runs basically off-grid except when baking and ironing clothes.

anthony86:Thankyou. Some idiot said crude oil need to hit $139 because Nigeria can have 24hrs electricity. Imagine!! |

LordAdam16: I was in Uganda last for 3months and electricity was uninterrupted. Uganda is one of the poorest in Africa, landlocked without any pronounced natural economic resources. Our leaders are heartless and mindless. 1 Like |

Mandem1: I said, "don't blame Nigerians SOLELY." And it's why I also said we should solve the metering issue and complete ongoing projects, and then take stock. There's been progress in the metering issue. Commercial operators can now buy meters from third-party sources (don't know how the implementation is going). The NERC are currently drafting the regulations for independent metering. Last I heard, Fashola had given them a deadline. I'd be surprised if we've made any substantial progress in completing ongoing projects. Firstly because of the oil slump, and secondly because Buhari doesn't give a sh*t. The only thing he's talked about is the Mambilla plant which no one knows the terms of the agreement, and which we all know wouldn't start anytime soon. But the idea is that if we've gotten the metering issue sorted out and paid off ongoing projects, we can better identify how Bleep*d up we are, and project how long it'd take to get out of this mess. Right now, we can't be definitive about those. Do you know as we speak, the government covers the bills of the GENCOs when they provide power but it gets lost along the way in transmission or the DISCOs reject it. Yes, they provided N702b for that for the next 2 years. But you'd start hearing them saying consumers solely not paying enough or not paying at all is the problem of the power sector. That's why I said everyone is at fault. From the consumers to the business men to the president. -Lord |

What tires me is d fact that wen we result of destruction of properties, it is we the ordinary people that still suffer the consequences. It's just like destroying your own property. What then will u make use of? |

emmie14: As I said, if Lagos was a country, they would have uninterrupted power. Ditto for states like Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Niger... The leaders are heartless and mindless but the people are no better. PHCN for 20 years did not employ a new engineer. They let equipment rot in the ports for 10 years (Nebo only found out after PHCN had been sold, meaning civil servants--Nigerians like you and I--sat on 250+ containers of vital equipment for 10 years). Were the civil servants there not Nigerians, or were they Martian. In two years after privatization, the GENCOs and DISCOs employed 2000+ new engineers. Sambo used all the money from the sale to pay gratuity to the workers. Every last kobo. Yet barely 3 years later, the same people are part of the Nigerians saying that PHCN would have been better than this current arrangement. As if PHCN was generating 7000 MW in 2012 and we're now generating 3500 MW in 2018. The leaders are heartless and mindless, the people are senseless and stup*d. It's even. -Lord 2 Likes |

emmie14: Thanks for the compliment...... The fact is, we need $300 billion....some people say $900bn....before Nigeria can get light fixed. Plus, if we want a balanced budget....we need oil at $139 per barrel....according to Fitch. Power supply in Nigeria is hard work. Once again, thanks for the compliment. Pay yer bills too please. 1 Like |

stellx: Your idea isn't exactly a bad one. If power is decentralized, I can imagine states like Niger getting loads of new investment as manufacturers troop there. And for states like Zamfara that have no chance in hell of financing a power project without significant help, the FG would have their own plants that feed the national grid (more like federal and state road dichotomy presently). The issue of course is the management and the fact that it's not the only problem. There are some national issues that are relatively easy to find a solution. Not refining enough--sell the refineries. Fulani herdsmen are killing, ban grazing and set up ranches (Buhari has a ranch, why can't he convince his tribesmen to have ranches too). Power sector is not one of those issues. It's a hydra. Good thing you have a contingency plan and have given up. I don't think it'd be fixed in the next 10 years. But we'd make progress, albeit slowly. -Lord |

sarrki: It looks like you don't understand how electricity distribution in Nigeria works, they are wallowing in darkness as you said because the federal government decides how megawatts to be distributed to each city or states because of the centralized grid. If the federal government can just find the political will and decentralize the power sectors in Nigeria power problems will be a thing of the past at least in some of our major cities in Nigeria. For instance, a city like Lagos has the capacity to build their own power and distribute it to all the state and the if the much of it they can sale to Ogun or any willing state. |
