What many Nigerians don't understand is Nigeria has around 20000MW generation capacity with 8100MW transmission capacity and may likely reach 15000-18000MW while Distribution capacity remain 5000MW. So, in this case billions of Naira will be lost daily if we generate what Distribution system can't evacuate, therefore in as much as DisCos won't upgrade their capacity power will always remain a problem in Nigeria. Power is very expensive and small mistake will cost huge billions naira loss.
Those who privatized power to cronies who never had intention to upgrade it should be blamed.
The issue of upgrading and whatnot must have been considered in the MOU between FG and the private coys... I may be wrong.
Nigeria is jinxed.

We keep using to save face when we know that those entrusted with powers are nothing to write home about, it can't be business as usual, you're either elected or appointed, get your ass up and work, it's a social contract and not a fattening exercise do the damn job and go home.

But our politics have master the game, they keep using us a pawns while they sit back and enjoy the game of chess.

Nigeria will get better but the truth is we need everybody hands on deck.

I've forgotten when light went off in my vicinity.

Rivers State, Nigeria.

My Abuja residence also has constant power supply. AEDC sends mails to customers notifying us of disruptions and routine maintenance that may affect power supply.

It's a fact that the power sector has massively improved from what it was in 2007. Nigerians do not notice this.




My observation does not negate Otedola's statement in anyway because he's right.

In my opinion, the Discos are trying. The Gencos have to be more innovative.

Subsidy should first be suspended in the power sector before the petroleum sector or simultaneously.
Who ask them to subsidize power?

Is Otedola not among those who contributed to Nigeria's rot... I don't blame him.. I blame Nigerian's who hail him and other members of his class.

We know all of them and their kids made it off our national cake but most Nigerian's have been mentally enslaved to think otherwise.

Dangote, Adenuga, Otedola, Elumelu, Alakija, the Adeleke's and so many other Nigerian elites are who they are today as a result of the wealth they stole.

All these people wouldn't have had this much wealth in a country with a working system and where real capitalists exists.
Are you only born to wail and complain? You wail with passion as if your life depends on it to survive. For Dangote, Otedola and more, opportunity came their ways and they seized it to become big in this life that has no duplicate. However, opportunity came your way but you failed to see it since you were busy complaining and nurturing hatred in your heart. Stop wasting your time narrating history of rich men, go out to look for opportunity to seize. For how long will you keep murmuring and grumbling of other successful men.

The problem has never been with DisCos but rather the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN which is own ny the government. Generation and distribution companies are at their best for now it's only TCN that lagging.

Transmission is the problem not distribution. Transmission was not privatized, it's still under FG in the name of Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN). Among the distribution companies only Lagos and Enugu Discos are making profits

It is the Transmission section that Siemens are working to upgrade currently.

Always blaming one party or the other.. this is the reason y we cant grow as a nation and our politicians love it that way cos they can steal how ever they like and do very little. Oga think of how we can unit as a nation and rebuild this not this divide and rule tactics u guys have used since independence
