Can we pay e.g 10k monthly for stable power. We are saying overseas there's light but for example in USA they'll pay as much $109 monthly as light bills. Water sef they pay monthly, internet dey pay monthly, heating in the house they pay monthly for it, calling and recieving phone calls they pay monthly about $40-$100 depending on the network carrier. Once again my question is, are we willing to pay for steady power supply?

Litmus:
Ironically, the future of power supply worldwide may be as it is now in Nigeria, which is in self-sufficiency instead of national provisions. I mean individuals, communities, estates and cooperatives supplying power to their own homes outside of any national grid architecture. Perhaps if Nigerians began embracing what most do now, such as powering their own homes, but looking to modern, better and more efficient generators, technology, alternatives like solar and windmills, cooperating in the neighbourhood to buy larger generators to power all homes along their street etc, government and power companies would sit up and start trying to win back public confidence by providing the regular and constant power that they fail now in doing.

EcoBrick:
Yes. Presently there are parts of Magodo and Omole phase 1 in Lagos that enjoy uninterrupted electricity. Though their electricity supply arrangement is different from the rest of us'.

ALAGOGO007:
For many years now, Nigeria has been facing an extreme electricity shortage. This deficiency is multi-faceted, with causes that are financial, structural, and sociopolitical, none of which are mutually exclusive. Nigeria’s power sector has high energy losses from generation to billing, a low collection rate and low access to electricity by the population. There is insufficient cash generation because of these inefficiencies and the power sector is consequently reliant on fuel subsidies and funding of capital projects by the government.

At present only 10 % of rural households and 40% of the country’s total population have access to electricity. Power supply difficulties cripple the agricultural, industrial and mining sectors and impede the Nigeria's ongoing economic development. The energy supply crisis is complex, stems from a variety of issues and has been ongoing for decades.

As of December 2013, the total installed or nameplate capacity (maximum capacity) of the power plants was 6,953 MW. Available capacity was 4,598 MW. Actual average generation was 3,800 MW. As of December 2014, the total installed capacity of the power plants was 7,445 MW.

The minister for power Babatunde Fashola said that 90 million Nigerians lack electricity supply. This is an indictment of the government and a clarion call on that same government as well as other stakeholders to do something urgently about the wobbling electricity supply situation in the country. Every year, the Nigerian government invest huge amout of money in the power sector with no positive impact, something seems not right!

The big question is, are we going to witness a stable power supply in our lifetime , will it ever happen?

Ebenezar2020:
you're living in a bush.
my brother stop wailing like a jobless Ipob and go hustle.
I'm living in the Urban city and light is 24 hours and if PHCN takes it off they'll restore it back after 20 minutes



you dey mind that dude wey dey live for inside bush

webshopNG:
Some places already have it. You jist need to grow to that level.

For the common man. It wont happen anyyime soon. But the common man can create his own solar power. Just like we all dug boreholes and forgot about the Nigerian water corporation.

alexola20:
Few days before Christmas I went to visit a friend in a remote village in Poland.There was an accident that occurred which tripped off the electricity in the house.And then we went out almost immediately. Within 10 minutes it was 1st the internet company that called my friend that his home internet has stopped working and that if there was a problem with the electricity,that they can call the electricity company for us if we have any problem.
That is a working system.

Mind you it was on a weekend.

It's very easy for a lazy person to blame his dad for not having money. The same way you are cursing people older than you, do you know that that is the same way the younger ones than you will be cursing you? The question is what have you done for your self and your local community since you were born?
