Let's get into deeper thinking...

Nigeria has run aground and there is no recovery, the only way this country can survive is a peg on birthrate, so its available infrastructure/resources can keep holding while it becomes excess overtime, which would propel employment and eradicate poverty. (eg, china one child policy that lasted 35 years 1980 - 2015, the period of Chinese boom)

We assume Nigeria was better in the past, it was not better, the resources and infrastructure could only sustain the then population alongside corruption and still have leftovers.. with comfort comes population.. that is why developed worlds dont joke with taxes, the richer you get, the higher you pay, so you never get comfortable to excess breed. But here, we barely have taxes and religious doctrines on birth control overshadows logic and common sense.

We bred much more than the resources and infrastructure could carry alongside our world renowned corruption.. now we are in a mess, because we barely have the resources and infrastructure we use to have when we were even assumed comfortable, but left with an unguarded massive population of a developed world.. (case study: how come Nigerians felt better on all ramifications during Obasanjo's admin despite oil sold at $21, Abacha's at $10 etc)

Am not a doomsayer, but The only and fastest way forward for Nigeria, is to go backwards. If we continue this way, we would only end up with a very terrible unabating civil conflict (insecurity, banditry, kidnapping, scammers, grandscale corruption and eventually maybe internal war from casting blames) when the centre can no longer hold because everyone would be scrambling for anything and everything.. (it's unfortunate this is already happening).
No excuse 4 failures.

But wait ooo, Does it cost a fortune To have a stable Power supply??

All those countries with steady Power, Did they do it magically??

$29billion alone can make us have a steady Power supply if properly used but then again, THIS IS NIGERIA!


No but anyone called in Nigeria to work for the country will divert the money.

This is country of criminals we are dealing with.

I disagree with you.
Population can be a blessing or a curse. Ours turns out a curse or at least looks like a curse because virtually everyone ( or majority ) is focused on what they can get from govt and the system and not what they can contribute.
If our population was productive and contribute only #20,000 of value monthly, that will amount to #4 Trillion monthly and #48 Trillion annually. The current set up encourages people to be lazy, unproductive and therefore wait on govt to sell natural resources and pay them #20,000 monthly instead of them contributing.

People don't know the essence of govt again and when they see or hear govt, their minds magically assume it is an entity created to feed them instead one they are suppose to fund and hold accountable.

$29 billion?
Is this a typographical error?

Nigeria loses $500 Billion if not more annually due to power failure.
And how much is your whole economy that $500 Bn is leaking from?

Can a 20 litre keg leak 500 litres of water without being refilled?

I get where you are aiming at, but the Nigerian population has always been productive at its own defined pace, the oil boom(oil dollars) superceded the productivity of the populace while the natural thing was to give back in form of rapid infrastructure to the country, but our looting began alongside (chop I chop notion). It brought about laziness, uncontrolled birth breeding etc...

Now the effect of that uncontrolled population boom is here while the oil boom has disappeared and might never come back because of the electric age..

Now we are left with an unguarded population, with resources and infrastructure not in resonance and an oil boom no longer in sight, increasing number of unemployment and out of school children... our only solution is to go back.

Nigerians like me and you should be asking our government that sourced loans from imf, world Banks, China for so called funds for electricity generation:
a) what was such funds used for (documents should be provided that the funds was used from start to finished for claims it would solve the problem of electricity in the country).

b) The committee that is, if any was set up to supervise such projects should be invited to answer questions on why the so called project haven't met its expectations as claimed provided the funds was meant to solve the issue of electricity in the country)

the painful part is that Nigerians themselves dont care... We live as if nothing is wrong with the country

people are killed daily by Herdsman Fulani , Boko haram, Bandits and kidnapers and yet we haven't staged a protest to demand the resignation of the president and others...

Nigeria is not a country just a state of mind... Most Nigerians dont know what it feels like to be in a country that works... Everything is just in disarray. This country makes me sick to my stomach.

Think of all the new businesses and jobs that will be created just because power is stable. The economy will probably double what it is right now within a decade. I think that is what the guy is talking about.
