Someone ''abroad'?

Where is ''abroad''?

Mumu. ''abroad'' for you means ''western countries''.

Your colonial past has brainwashed you into thinking ''abroad'' means ''the developed west''. But the developed world comprises less than 25% of the world. Majority of nations on earth are developing nations, and they ALL experience power cuts.

Dimwits usually result to insults when they run out of plausible and sensible comebacks...

I won't bandy words with you sir... My point is quite clear to all who have dignity and sense of shame.

Please, go play with your fellow sycophants. I'm really not in the mood for tantrums.

There are so many areas in Lagos state that enjoy same, try to leave that your village, shey u hear?


See the problem ? Your brain is too little to grasp basic knowledge. That some areas of Lagos attain same doesn't equate every Nigerian is attaining same ... You are disgracing your teachers from Nursery school to what ever level you are in now but if you are a graduate, I'm sorry , you are a definition of everything wrong with our educational system

What shame? Shame in what? Keep living in ''shame''. That makes you an ignorant fool. Like i said, MAJORITY of nations on earth experience power cuts. THEY do not live in ''shame'' because they know their nations are still in development. Your ''shame'' is caused by your colonial mentality that tells you you ''OUGHT'' to have 24 hrs power like France and Germany after a few decades of independence. Educate yourself and you will no longer feel ''shame''.

I'm not endorsing mediocrity. Simply being realistic. Get this. Nigeria needs 100 BILLION USD in investments to ensure 24 hour power supply for its 200 million people. This figure comes direct from industry stakeholders.

''The Nigeria Electricity Supply Industry, NESI, requires investments of over $100 billion in the next 20 years, if the country, Nigeria must have 24 hours of electricity supply daily, stakeholders in the power sector have said.''

https://allafrica.com/stories/201906210463.html

Do you know Nigeria's annual budget based on her current income?

$35 billion.

Out of that $35 billion, over half is for recurrent expenditure - salaries, debt servicing etc.

Get this. In all likelihood, you will not see 24/7 power supply in Nigeria in your lifetime.

It will happen at some point, but it will take decades of investment.

The figures speak for themselves. You can continue feeling ''shame'' out of wilful ignorance or a natural inferiority complex, but if you were wise, you'd get beyond that, free your mind of negativity and 'disappointment', accept you're from a developing country, and contribute to the nation's development, while enjoying your life as best you can.

Oh sure, I'm schooling you. It will take 100 billion dollars and 20 yrs MINIMUM for Nigeria to have stable power. FACT. So anything else you say, from ''feeling shame'' - a daft reaction since it's not a crime to be poor - to cursing the govt or people of Nigeria, to calling Nigeria a 'shithole' etc etc is a worthless, fruitless exercise.

What folks like you should be doing is devising little ways to provide electricity to small communities here and there via sola, wind, waste, biogas, and other renewable energy sources. The electricity shortage is actually a huge opportunity for sharp entrepreneurs. You could set up a school to train people in renewable energy, and make it big. You could set up a small wind farm that powers 50 to 100 homes. Again, big money for you. See how much better that is than sitting somewhere feeling 'shame' that Nigeria has power issues, and abusing the government?

Nonsense. Any nation that is still battling power in 2020 is a failed nation. A country that has been enjoying oil revenue for half a century cannot comfortably generate 5,000 MW of electricity without grid failure everytime.

It is this thief thief mentality that has made people like you claim that we need $100 billion to make power.
The three gorges dam in China is the largest dam in the world. It generates 22, 000 MW of electricity. This is more than double what we need to meet our power needs. It was constructed
at a cost of roughly 30 billion dollars. Initial estimates were even less but cost rose as construction went on.

What stakeholders if not thieves like you came to a 100 billion dollar conclusion for a country that requires less than 15,000MW to meet its needs?
Let me tell you. Power is basic, so fundamental that any serious group of people will get it right within a short period.
Ghana did not always have light. They got serious and made it work.
If they were quoting big figures like you they would have still been in the same place as you.
With the way the average Nigerian state of mind operates, even a trillion dollars will not be enough for them to fix power.
You are telling me that if the entire American or German apparatus of state were allowed to handle Nigeria's power they will require two decades and 100 billion dollars fix it?
Shame on you. Foolish patriot.
