Oga stop with the misinformation. Go and understand installed capacity vs. available capacity. This information has been around for awhile. How does it feel posting information that you have zero experience in? [s] It equates you to a liar and a thief, be guided. [/s]

RaptorX:
So how do they manage to transmit and distribute to the neighboring countries. Are they wirelessly transmitting the power to the other countries, cause this excuse for epileptic power supply in Nigeria is not adding up.

Chrisjay1998:
okay since we have large amount of power that can't be distributed why can't they Build and improve Our transmission
what's stopping them from Improving the distribution across Nigeria ?

trailblazar:


They will only transmit, distribution of the wheeled power inside Chad will be Chad's responsibility. They only need to connect Chad at a reliable, close point on the transmission grid and they're off. Financially inept Discos with connect have a monopoly as one Nairalander wisely opined and that is the major issue.

authority2006:


I have just two questions for you:
1. Are the DISCOs not rejecting power?
2. Can you sell what you don't have to your neighbours?

This is not about big grammar but common sense

otokx:


I know some not many Nigerians who have refused Prepaid meters.

blacknp:
You are 100% correct, what most people have failed to acknowledge is that we Nigerians are our problem, systematic incompetence from top to bottom. Please someone should tell me in the history of Nigeria one person that has gone to prison for mismanaging our electricity assets from Nepa days, to Phcn days, to now the worst these useless Discos & Generation Companies?

trailblazar:


1. Off course they're rejecting power. It must be in the agreement they signed else why is NERC very quiet on DISCOS matter? Many of them should have lost their licenses by now but e be like say the legal matter pass NERC power.

2. Once again, of course. We are Nigerians, we do it all the time. It is a societal problem. Every Nigerian will jump at the opportunity to be a middleman, even when they have no idea what they are getting into. As long as Nigerians are involved in "deal" making with National assets there will be no respite in unnecessarily expensive commodities. Look at the PPAs some people have collected bribes and the rest of us are made to pay for it. Life is about Negotiation and Nigerian leaders are in the habit of short changing the populace.

IduNaOba:

My joy is that I never voted Buhari in 2015 and Bubril in 2019.
Ndigbo can boldly say that we didn't partake in foisting this calamitous calamity presiding over the affairs of Nigeria in the person of the vegetable himself
The dullard in chief
The only Bubril 1
Incompetence certified
Nepotistic bigot 1
97 /5 % crooner
If you know him click like
If you didn't help bring him to power clikc share

Africanamania:
This is sheer madness,you cannot distribute in your own country,but others could distribute in their countries. Just tell us that this country is too big to manage, there is enough food to feed your people, but you complain of lack of plates for even share, this is a mental case. This is one of the things they should have protested about.

Dayoebe:
Lets assume this is a fake news. Because no sane person will think of giving out what he doesn't have.

Nigerian has been suffering from epileptic power supply from time immemorial, yet government deem it fit to sell it out to other countries just to fattened their purse.

and rubber stamped senators will fold their hands waiting for order from above.


Thunder fire the government

rossoki:
For Nigeria to transform its distribution sector, it will cost billions of dollars.

Selling excess power to countries that need it is actually a great way to raise the funds to pay for the building of our distribution infrastructure.

Coronabirus:
It's pity u dnt understand the reason behind this connection. Nigeria is using River Niger to generate one of its power in kainji which has its source from other countries, they'll not construct dam for irrigation to avoid obstructing the generation and part of the then deal is to connect those countries with the power generated.
Please use current Egypt-Ethiopia tension which may escalate to war; Egypt is using Nile River for irrigation and has the largest irrigation system in the world, now Ethiopia is constructing dam which may hinder Egypt's irrigation system and they're already at cold war.
Many educated Nigerians have zero knowledge of governance and international relations that's why we always embarass ourselves in our comments including the well educated ones.

clarkmos15:
the money gotten from distributing to Benin, Ghana and Niger can be invested in developing our transmission so we can enjoy light, but we all are a joke to dem

Mathantics:
Niger Republic and Chad are more Fulani than Nigeria.

SpecialAdviser:
Government and nonsense are 5 & 6. Buhari government and nonsenstical are 5 & 6.

blacknp:
They have constant electricity, their transmission is up to par, thanks to the french, not these jagajaga you have in Nigeria, electricity is a business for the private sector, Nigerians don’t want to pay the international price, so you get what you pay for, get the pricing right for profitability, the private sector will fix the inadequacies, but Nigerians will not want to pay, the Military as a carrot to stay in office, subsidized everything for them, now today for them to pay the real cost for anything is a problem, they want it free, they even have a word for it “ awoof”.

xxxXXXxxx:
Why not invest in transmission and distribution infrastructures. What's the issue with the policy makers in this clime.

Blue3k:



I think the government is taking your advice. The deal with Siemens is supposed to improve the distribution network.

TheManOfPeace:
It is clear that we Nigerians, are not educated enough to understand the benefits.

Well, in any case, Alhamdulilah
