That is the restructuring we constantly advocate. In it everyone decides what he wants. Today even with privatisation the central government still controls everything through its appointed regulator so the people ultmately cannot decide on how they want a service and a product called electricity.

If we were properly structured the people at any level will decide how they want power. They can choose to pool their own generators (generating capacity), they can chose to have an investor do it for them or they can choose to have their local government do it for them via taxes, levies or bonds. They can decide for black energy or green energy. They can choose to have it run as a social service or purely as a business concern.

But what do we have. Bright and enterprising Nigerians forced into the same destiny with dumb and recalcitrant ones and not being able to do anything about it because of the rules of th game. Change the rules and see places such as Lagos and Aba take flight.

Today, Ghana has very stable and excess electricity.
Whereas the so-called ''giant of Africa'' is struggling!

Nigeria's problems would come to an end when ''Nigerians'' begin to think and realize how stupid they have been to allow themselves to be deceived by slogans like '' giant of Africa'' the happiest people in the world'', ''leader of Africa'', etc.
The Nigerian govt. should seek help from countries like Turkey that are very good in power generation. Ghana did it when they had power problems for just about 2-3 years and today they have stabilized their power.
Eat the humble pie and approach other countries for help. It is becoming evidently clearer by the day that Nigerians cannot solve this problem by ourselves.

If you don't believe what usba said, then you know nothing about Nigeria's power problems. who told you pricing is the problem? let me guess, those guys that took 750 naira monthly as service charge for 3yrs yet said they have no money for pre paid meters? what pricing are you talking about? who told you refining isn't a proper business because of pricing?
You just said Buhari has squandered his 2015 political goodwill yet you suggest he gives you the kinda "pricing" that exposes you to global crude shock just to make the phantom refiners happy right? what happens to his political goodwill afterwards, you speak from both compases of your butt cheek

Wait o! Is the ba3 system different from that of the Solar panel inverter

6pax:


Yeah, your solar is to charge your batteries which you can do with your phcn.

Troublemaker007:


I am a bit lost please. If I should get a solar panel then there will be no need for me to use Phcn and charge it. Am I missing something here?

6pax:

OK let me explain, to get the whole may be way expensive. Am just advising starting with inverter b3 bank then later you may start adding on solar panels to finally tell phcn bye-bye

My man the truth about industrialization is that you need constant supply of electricity to power the industries and mind you the fuel you are talking about is imported into the country from outside so what you are saying is quite far from the crux of the matter.

hamzyluv:
importation is not what a saying here ,, am talking about consumption of the commodity (PMS) .. with constant electricity how many barrel of PMS will Nigeria consume on daily basis ?

And our major production in Nigeria is Fuel (PMS)

90% of ghanaian Gas power plants are fired by our own WAPCO, same for Niger and Togo, but I tell you what, the power infrastructures of all these countries put together can not serve 5 major cities in Nigeria.
Im not saying we can't do better infrastructure wise, i'm only saying that if you are anywhere close to rational thinking, you are obeying the law of madness by comparing Nigeria with ghana in terms of electricity supply.

What we call epileptic supply in Nigeria will incinerate ghana if you understand how that business works. Ghana could deliver for major cities with the size and population of a Nigerian street, then chaps like you will thin out in praise whereas there are places bigger than Accra & Temale put together that have steady supply in Nigeria, how about we compare Accra & Temale with bonny Island?

Most of the chaps complaining about our power situation online still vote for PDP, they still love Jonathan, most of them hero worship him, but once you ask them, have you read the document jonathan signed with these power companies that handed us darkness, nobody will care.
I am happy that the life and times of pdp is biting the same people that lick their Anus, the bad news is that they want APC to do the magic, perhaps after 2019, they will come to the sane conclusion that where PDP under jonathan left us will take APC another 10yrs to start let alone undo anything, I thought fashola the muscle man said he can untie the power caveat abi? let him try first, the so called youth don't know anything about their country, they come online to vent their frustrations with a pitch of ignorance.

Geniro:


My guy shut up there. Jonathan PDP this,Jonathan that. What has your Buhari done so far? What infrastructure has he put in place to show things will get better.

You have proven Pseudo intellectualism leads to horrible mistakes.

Your ilk were among the intellectuals citing body language for the improved power supply in 2015.
Shame.

your point is?
