seedorfg: We've electricity if you don't believe some cabals who imports generators are responsible for power failure have a rethink corruption is responsible for our power failure just like Nigeria not having a single working refinery and prefer to export so they can steal. |

Kekereekun123: There are many ways to generate electricity. In Nigeria we generate our electricity majorly using thermal and hydro. Thermal Power Plants across the nation are more than hydro power plants and the aggregate power output generated is more than hydro power plants. So we don't have much problem. We supply them based on business purposes. To build a power plant for a nation comes with high cost so these small countries have to look for a way to buy at cheaper rate from another country. |

God punish all these useless leaders we have here! They r supplying energy to international customers 247 light and are depriving us even 3hrs light everyday and when we refuse to pay, they'll will carry their ladder and disconnect us. That is why Nigeria is a perpetual under developed country. Hunger virus is killing us why we have the most expensive useless parliament, that are brain dead. Nonsense |
Re: Togo, Benin, Niger Owe Nigeria 30 Billion Naira For Electricity by 9jaRealist: 4:12pm On Mar 17, 2020 |
Blue3k: These agreements were made in the 1970s and 1980s when Nigeria had only 1 thermal and more than half of our power came from Kainji... Accordingly, it is not rational to bemoan that we are supplying electricity to our neighbors without first satisfying our own domestic demand. Furthermore, as I noted, these payments are made in HARD CURRENCY (and likely at more commercial rates than Nigerian domestic tariffs). > |
Re: Togo, Benin, Niger Owe Nigeria 30 Billion Naira For Electricity by Blue3k(m): 4:21pm On Mar 17, 2020 |
9jaRealist: They're free to break agreements because it was made in the 1970s. Lol was that written in the agreement? They clearly not paying up as you see with that bills snd they're building a dam. According to Mamman, the power sale from Nigeria to Niger Republic was based on bilateral agreement on basis of the construction of dams along River Niger. |
Re: Togo, Benin, Niger Owe Nigeria 30 Billion Naira For Electricity by 9jaRealist: 4:29pm On Mar 17, 2020 |
Bluffly: If NERC allowed them to charge cost-reflective tariffs, and frankly so many people stop stealing electricity, and the government MDAs and the military, police and uniformed services pay their bills, then perhaps the DISCOs will have the resources to invest (or the balance sheet to secure debt capital) to upgrade their distribution facilities. Even the local akara seller doesn’t sell her akara for less than the beans and oil cost. > |

Blue3k: Not sure I am getting your point... But can clearly see that you badly fail to understand my post (even on NL, it still pays to comprehend before comment). Of course, one can always terminate or revise agreements as conditions warrant or change... But I fail to see how that vitiates my clarification to those commenters wondering why we supply electricity to our neighbors. SMH > |
Re: Togo, Benin, Niger Owe Nigeria 30 Billion Naira For Electricity by Blue3k(m): 4:40pm On Mar 17, 2020 |
9jaRealist: Dont play dumb. Your excuse to why is false. Nigeria has no to obligation since they're not keep their end of the aggreement. They haven't paid bills and they're building a dam. Nigeria is simply doing this because they feel it's economically beneficial to supply them. @9jaRealist edit post According to Mamman, the power sale from Nigeria to Niger Republic was based on bilateral agreement on basis of the construction of dams along River Niger.

Obiaksnews: It is NOT a “service”.... But an economic GOOD that costs lots of money to generate, transmit and distribute. Until Nigerians quit seeing electricity as something owed to them and start paying for it, we will remain doomed to darkness... Irony is that folks who do not want to pay cost-reflective tariffs to DISCOs will freely spend LOTS MORE money on gens and diesel. Penny wise. > |

Blue3k: Rather rich from someone who just edited his own post to add that... Dude, I merely modified my post to add the parenthetical part soliciting that you comprehend before comment, as you seem to be laboring under an increasingly considerable basic comprehension deficit. If you don’t understand, it’s okay to say so or simply do not comment. Cheers. > |

9jaRealist: 9jaRealist: Lol maybe you're not playing dumb afterall. Take your time you'll eventually figure it out. You lied claiming the agreement is what forces Nigeria to sell power. The agreement is no longer a factor since they're violating every term of it. That excuse no longer makes sense. If Nigeria wants to cut them off to supply Nigerians they can do so. They simply dont wish to at this time. The Kandadji dam will be constructed on the Niger River, 187 and 489 kilometers upstream from the capital city, Niamey, and the Nigerian border respectively, and 60 km downstream from the Malian border. According to Mamman, the power sale from Nigeria to Niger Republic was based on bilateral agreement on basis of the construction of dams along River Niger.

But, over the years, they have ultimately settled their respective bills (albeit sometimes only after we threaten to disrupt supply and/or cut them off). Nonetheless, this arrangement is not a charitable one but rather strategic. It is basically an agreement by Nigeria to supply electricity to some of these neighbors in exchange for an agreement by them not to dam the River Niger upstream, which would adversely affect some of our hydro plants (at a time that Kainji was our main source of electric power). Personally, I am all for keeping these arrangements going. Nigeria has more than enough energy resources to not only fully electrify itself but to export electricity, thereby further diversifying our sources of revenue and earning more forex. > 1 Like |

9jaRealist: Repeating your lies to anyone who swallows them is your mission in life? Lol the agreement is not an exuse in Niger Republics case. Tag everyone in the thread so they all know hear. Lol your hard currency excuse doesn't cut it either. Nigeria could benefit more simply supplying power to Nigeria domestically. |
