A good way to know fake leaders in the making is when you listen to their plans for sensitive issues. They either have none or have no detailed but a vague plan.
Peter Obi is definely one. He went to understands how Egypt's power works instead of understanding what makes ours not to.

SOWORE should be very careful of the IBOS. They don't want anybody to criticize Peter Obi. 13,000 people can sign petition register against him as they did to Reno Omokri.

Obi was the adviser to Jonathan when Discos and Gencos were sold to PDP cronies who know little or nothing about generation and distribution of electricity. Today, Obi, Atiku and the other PDP rogues that created the mess are the ones making the loudest noise about the problem they created.

It’s just unfortunate that Nigerians forget things too easily. Under Jonathan, power supply was extremely woeful. Buhari hasn’t performed to expectations to doubt but he has invested a lot in power generation and transmission. PDP members like Obi and Atiku that participated actively in spending $16billion to generate darkness should not be talking at all.

You mean the privatization process supervised by the World Bank?!
Which great electricity companies or investors bid for these companies and were rejected?!

The privatization under the Jonathan administration is not the primary problem with electricity in Nigeria, as they keep regurgitating like ideological zombies. The owners of DISCOs and GENCOs is not the primary problem with electricity in Nigeria - and btw, the federal government presided over by Buhari still owns 40% of the equity of DISCOs and seat on the board of directors of all of the DISCOs, while the private owners (the so-called “PDP cronies”) only own 60% of each DISCO. Virtually ANYONE can own equity in electricity utility companies or any other technical companies, regardless of such owners’ technical qualifications or knowledge (or lack thereof). In the US and several advanced economies, equity of most of these companies are controlled by PE funds, VCs, pension funds, etc., not by engineers or other technical folks. Even Dangote owns the most successful cement company operating across several African nations without being an engineer. Equity owners primarily provide capital, not (necessarily) operational expertise.

Meanwhile, the GENCOs generate MORE electricity than the TCN (Transmission Company of Nigeria), owned 100% and solely operated by the FG presided over by Buhari, has the ability to transmit, leaving an average of about 2000MW of generated electricity “stranded” everyday. The primary issue with electricity in Nigeria is principally at the distribution level, where the federal government owns 40% of the DISCOs, controls regulation through NERC and has refused to allow the cost-reflective tariffs promised pre-privatization and a VITAL premise of the BUSINESS CASE for the privatization. The result is that DISCOs continue to be FORCED to sell electric power at BELOW production costs (an average of N38kw/h tariffs for electric power produced at an average cost of N58kw/h), which even your roadside Buka or Akara seller understands is not a sustainable business model. The outcome is that DISCOs are unable to fully pay GENCOs, who are unable to fully pay gas producers/suppliers and who in turn are dis-incentivized to invest in more gas production and stop flaring.

It is clear that neither Buhari nor his Apologists fully understand the BASICS of the electricity debacle (nor, tbh, of most other things). Rather, they continue to cling onto his FEUDAL AND CENTRIST impulses and sensibilities. Accordingly, they want to dismantle private enterprise and continue to expand BIG GOVERNMENT- because perhaps the only thing General Buhari really seems to enjoy the most about being president has been the power to appoint HIS PEOPLE into positions of authority.

Actually the entire privatization process was done under Jonas government......it was a terrible plan that saw the government take control of transmission while leaving distribution in private hands.....not only that the government had to pay huge sums to take over transmission lines that where old and worn out with no plan on how they would be replaced or upgraded.....it also saw the government saddled in head spinning contact with the discos where basically the government was still saddled with funding a lot of their cost with no power of oversight or control despite the discos been in private hands....The NERC was only a lapdog who was empowered to bite under Buharis government. Jona had already package the deal and just handed off the burden to Buhari......and since going back on the contract wi see The gencos and discos suing Nigeria for billions of dollars we did not have becaus Jona and Diezani had looted the treasury before leaving. It was just like P&G case Buharis government had no idea how it came about but because they were the government in power they were left to clean up the mess.....and when the Senate asked Jona to come explain himself he said they should bring half a billion to fly him private to Abuja.

Re: Sowore Replies Peter Obi On National Grid Collapse by Nobody: 3:56am On Jul 22, 2022
Pointing fingers is what Sowore does best , because in this case, he does not want to address the real reason why power supply is bad in Nigeria

The chronic underfunding of the sector, and the decision by governments to set the price of the sector.

Blaming Obi may help score some political points, just as blaming Atiku, but it misses the real issue behind the failure in the power sector...which is, I repeat, the underfunding caused largely by the government forcing tarrifs that leave the sector running at a loss, rather than a profit.

Senseless comment. Obi advised the Jonathan govt economically and on the need to save not on power generation or transmission. Talking about Buhari's investment in the power sector is a fool's errand. Buhari have not added 1MW to the national grid for the past 7 years and remember how that failure of a power minister called Fashola was running his mouth during the PDP administration. Sowore is just a barking dog. The best way to deal with a barking dog is to ignore it. Typical APC morons, they never take responsibility for anything. Always blaming others for their failures. I wonder why you guys haven't blamed PDP for $1 becoming #650?
