Those days I visit new bussa

allanphash7:
Yet we don't have up to 10000MW as at 2021





Sucks

You are wishing us bad in advance

Mathscum:


When your physics teacher was teaching you where laughing at his trousers now see you are disgracing yourself on the internet.

This will be around ss1 physics or has basic science and technology

You don't have to insult him Na, he might not be a science student and not really familiar with mechanical works.

Hmm. Kainji dam is under Borgu LGA of Niger state... Bros the land mass alone in Borgu is more than 2 to 3 states combined in the east...


Those that have visited can testify..


There are places inside borgu emirate that would take you 4 - 6 hours to get to..


Bosses I wonder why companies and investors are not coming here maybe it's due to location and distance..



Light 24/7. But their head set touch atimes


Peace is guaranteed

An army barrack with 2 battalions...


An Air Force base where our amiable first female fighter jet pilot is... I even saw her yesterday in town.....


See guys Borgu is so large that even some people in the state don't even know how large it is...


Ask me anything about kainji dam and Borgu... Am at your service because I stay and live there...

My problem with those places up north there is insecurity.Is it not that same local government dat people wer drown yesterday trying to flee by boats from bandits?My brother,wen security situation improves there,u can then invite us to come.

SenecaTheYonger:
How come we couldn’t build this before white people came?

The REAL question you should ask if you didn't have colonial mentality is:

Why did it take Independence for us to have a dam? Our First dam and power plant?

Commissioned in 1964 by the Balewa administration.

What did the British who ruled from 1897 to 1960 do with all the money they made from the exports of our products for 63 years?

Lord Lugard, Lord McPherson, Lord this, Lord that.

What did they do with all our money?

THAT is the question you should be asking, Mr white man worshiper.

David Cameron once called Nigerian leaders ''fantastically corrupt''.

But they are angels compared to his kinsmen who ruled here before them.

All you said is true, I also live in kainji.

yougrichy:
Why?Do you want to break ur neck ni?

Lol... Mad oh!

Yakubu Gowon, like any of us has his terrible side...many of which may haunt him till his death. But, I can authoritatively state that about 80-85% of the meaningful money spinning public corporations and infrastructures that today's leaders are milking freely were launched and commissioned by Gowon!
Talk of NNPC, NITEL, Nigeria Airways, Major Medical centres and Teaching Hospitals, Major tertiary institutions and institutes ( with the exception of UI, Yabatech and Kadoly...) etc

The point is, one is left wondering why only one (or two) out of over 15 Heads of Government we've had, had built enduring legacies. What did the rest do?

Pimpmaride:
Nice

I don't understand how water is use to generate electricity


I can't seem to understand at all

Can someone please explain, how can a body of water generate electricity

It's not water that produces the electricity. All the dam does is produce the force that pushes giant coils of wires through a magnetic field.

So, what generates electricity is the magnet. When a coil of wire moved in a magnetic field, electricity is generated, but you need force from the water to do the pushing

85% Gowon? What rubbish.

Dude, 95% of the infrastructure in Nigeria today has nothing to do with Gowon. Go around the country and stop living in the past.

Like a black man like you would have done any better if you had the power adn resources to colonize a continent. You can't even develop your own country ruled by your own people, but expect other who conquered you to do it. Victim mentality.

OLDESTWARRIBOY:
He site looks abandoned....smh
When other countries are already using other source of clean energy, Nigeria still dey use dam....and the light dem no dey seeam o

Pls is energy from hydro not clean again in 2020?

Every machinery or factories working in this nation are ancient , and that’s what we’ve been working with all this years, damn shame

Educative!

The Dadin Kowa Dam in Gombe state have been completed since 1984, all civilian governments since Obasanjo, GEJ and now Buhari have allocated billions of naira to install turbines but nothing has been done.

Its hard to believe that a dam completed in 1984 haven't generated at least a megawatt of power in 2020

It is being used by farmers for irrigation purposes.
Last time I was there somewhere on yamaltudeba after maraba zambuk

A dam is a barrier or blockade built across a body of water in the form of a wall. The water builds up behind the wall to a considerable height and it is then released in a controlled manner into a turbine or series of turbines. The kinetic energy of the water falling from height turns the turbine (s), generating mechanical energy. The mechanical energy of the turbines is converted to electrical energy by making the rotating turbine blades to spin a generator. You then install a means of evacuating the energy to where it is used.

smallsmall:


Install wetin?

Turbine Money wey Snake don Swallow since 1973~

Nigeria started well and eve the Western World was afraid that it is going to be the rallying point for Black Reniassance, world-wide but Evil Nigerians with their foreign collaborators aborted the hte baby and arrested its development.

Nigeria would have become Wakanda

CARLOSZ:


That's the truth

what if person jump inside the dam probably to swim

who did we offend, even our river is so dirty unlike other dazzling rivers abroad

shantti:

Lol

Wow I never thought Nigeria could start a large project and finish it within 4 years.

So what happened to Nigeria? Why haven't we made strides like this anymore?

hakeem4:
only 8 out of the 12 are functional.

Maybe we should just tryout nuclear energy as another option for generating electricity

"only 8 out of 12 turbines are installed". Learn to read very well

feedthenation:
Some of the best infrastructures in Nigeria were done under military rule.

Most that stood the test of time. Perhaps, one can say 90% of the infrastructure facilities in the country.

a very simple explanation, a dynamo with a turbine installed on it is responsible for generating the electricity and the water provides the energy that drives the turbine. You know your generator has an electric generator made of coil and magnets then the combustion engine powered by petrol just drives the electric generator to produce electricity but in the case of the dam water falls on the turbines attached to the dynamo to produce electricity. The water has enough pressure and volume to drive very big dynamos.
Imagine pouring water from the top of a tall structure and the water is falling on the blades of a fan that is positioned horizontally, what will happen ? The blades of the fan will start turning.

hakeem4:

Lol.

Imagine you're buying a car but know nothing about engines. You'd likely end up with a car without an engine. Same if we don't seriously learn about nuclear energy in our universities before probably getting the French or Chinese to build it for us. With no knowledge to check our car has an engine we'd end buying a car with no engine or something like Ajaokuta Steel that hasn't produced any steel.

If we want nuclear energy, we got to start in our universities.

I'm visiting that dam within the year. Mind if i get in touch when ready?

nice

PureGoldh:
Nice one

Local man just dey wonder why we can't boast of 24hrs power supply

The first electricity turbine was produced in 1888. 2020, somewhere in Africa 200m people are using 2500MW of power. Where and airport in Japan uses 4000MW.

NA TIGBA WO ?
The only difference is the colours of the pictures
we have been getting the same megawatts for 50+ years now .
and they have squandered so much on it oooooo

I thought you were making sense with your questions but SenecaTheYonger has responded adequately. You still think like the victim. So you wanted the colonialists to build Kainji dam? How old are you (seriously)? They will only build structures that achieve their aim which is exploitation of natural resources in their colonies e.g. the Enugu-Port Harcourt railway and the ports at Port Harcourt where built to facilitate export of coal to ____? (Fill in the blank space)

So you see, unless it would really benefit their agenda, you can forget about colonialists building anything for you. SenecaTheYonger asked the proper question "How come we couldn’t build this before white people came?" and I would make reference to a video I saw few days ago. THERE IS SOMETHING FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG WITH THE BLACK MAN, I DON'T MIND IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT DIFFERENTLY BUT LOOK AT IT.... EVEN THE GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS BLACK PEOPLE ARE MAKING TODAY THEY DID IT WITH THE HELP OF WHITE PEOPLE. WHEN THEY ALL BY THEMSELVES IN AFRICA, THEY COULDN'T BUILD "NOTHING" Now think of ocean going vehicles, aeroplanes, even mechanised agriculture and you will get the picture. (I know why I asked for your age earlier)

There are a few nairalanders that share a similar view e.g. look at the signature of "alphanomega" just to mention a few.

At least, you stated that 95% of infrastructure today have nothing to do with Gowon which I should commend you on.
