No, Nigeria is not in trouble.
This is not the 1950s, Kanji dam as at today provides about 20% of Nigeria's electricity,
a substantial part of which is already exported.

It will have an effect but not something we can't handle.

Alusiizizi:


Last time I checked, Nigeria produces 3000MW of power, producing the epileptic power that we've grown so used to. Remove 20 percent from that figure and tell me again that we don't have a serious problem.

ivolt:

Noper, the percentage is based on maximum output 5000MW.
Remember that the only thing that matters is critical sectors and businesses getting electricity, not residential homes
since we don't have winter over here.

ivolt:

Moreover, Niger dam will only reduce not eliminate Kanji.

ivolt:

Shiroro will also come on board.

Horus:


Niger military deployed their anti aircraft defence system and threatened to shoot down any aircraft entering Niger airspace.
Niger's military junta had sent out the NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions) that the country's airspace had closed, impact immediate.
Any attempts to fly over the country would be met with an “energetic and immediate response.”

Christistruth03:





Let them build it
Nigeria has ability to blow up any Niger Dam without even leaving Nigeria

By the Way Majority of the SW Rivers do not have their sources from the Niger

Kwara will be affected but Lokoja Area also has the River Benue

Perfectbeing:
Let lies nor kill you

Horus:


How will you blow up any Niger Dam without even leaving Nigeria?, By using Juju?

Alusiizizi:


It seems that you need some brush-up lessons in physics, specifically, the difference between potential/kinetic energy and their conservation. If that river is dammed in the Niger then the available energy in the Kainji dam is much more reduced, which means much lower electricity output, along with all the attendant economic issues.



Sounds like pork to me.



This has nothing to do with Obi or the Obidient movement for that matter but rather why a sitting president would breath "military intervention" out loud without being absolutely sure that he can sustain such.



Actually we are not hoping for Nigeria to fall. We are hoping for a Nigeria where presidential elections are not determined by "Ghana must go", Bullion vans or a plate of indomie and a crummy tee shirt.

We are hoping for a Nigeria where it is impossible for a single individual to override the will of millions of citizens, selecting his choice of candidate as president instead.

We are hoping for a Nigeria where competent leaders that truly care for the progress of Nigeria are elected and not for the selection of one whose only ambition is to loot the national treasury dry, right before selling the entire country to western actors.

So you see, we are in fact hoping for the same Nigeria that you are hoping for.

P.S. We are working harder, in fact we have worked so hard that even your champion international motor-mouth put himself in a fix with his "military intervention" in some deluded notion that such an intervention would cement his shaky position as president.

Nigerian has Aircraft Capable of Shooting Targets 300 Km away

BLACKPRIEST:
The masquerade is yet to dance in the square. If things do not take a different turn, the real issues will play out after the dust is calm.

Firstly, BOLA Ahmed Tinubu took a thoughtless decision to cut electricity supply to Niger Republic, breaking the 1960 pact between the two countries. A forward thinking leadership will plan for the possibility of a retaliation from Niger Republic. But, it looks like the man is busy trying to make name for himself.

If the other country eventually decides to build a dam over the River Niger, it will have noticeable socio-economic impact on Nigeria.

Secondly, If Tinubu does not execute his treat of invasion, there will, undeniable, be a serious dent on his capacity, further diminishing the perceived image of Nigeria as the African giant. Also, this will also establish the narrative on the international scene that ECOWAS is a puppet of the west.

Horus:


And you naively believe that the Niger Army is not equipped with MAWS to detects all types of incoming missiles?

Christistruth03:


So you think Niger has a.serious Air force

Horus:


The Niger Army use the same exact anti aircraft defence system. This picture was simply for illustration purpose
Take a plane and try to enter Niger airspace to see what will happen to you

ivolt:
Niger republic is already damning the river.
The project started in 2021!
Not everything you post without verification.

Obiedun:
Where will she get the money to do it?

MODIFIED: After reading comments, I'll reply a couple. I'll be very hard on the brain dead, caustic and uncouth individuals who chose to abandon civility in their comments, but I'll reply reasonable comments with urbanity.

For those like Stoplying who misunderstood the, I partly take responsibility for clarity, but I expect such persons to read and understand the context.

Stoplying:

So according to your logic, if Nigeria doesn't fight against Niger Republic for the west, then Nigeria would be seen as a western puppet ? What type of mad man logic is this ?
And since when is Nigeria the "giant of Africa", what does that even mean ? And why in hell should we give a fvck ?
And you are suggesting we go and die for mere Ego? Tell the west to leave Niger Republic alone, they have broken free from slavery ! They will sell their uranium at market value from now on, and to the highest bidder.

JagabanB:

U don't build a dam by making nóísé online, a river that's dammed at one point can still be dammed at another point.
Moreover Tinubu said they will explore every means possible to restore democracy to Niger even military interventions.
How u Obi supporters turned it to a wàr event every blessed day is baffling.
U are all hoping and praying that Nigèria faiIs terribly then come 2027 u will tell us u want Nigèria to prosper, let's vote ur governor that can't live in the state he govèrñed.
U guys need to work harder.

You're cheering a landlocked country to blockade their own country..😂

1. Maybe u should attend a class on real life happenings before u talk about physics.
River don't have only one dame across it, your shallow physics just faiIed.

BLACKPRIEST:


You're embarrassingly wrong about the highlighted. That date you're referring to is probably when Shehu Garba explained to Nigerians, through the media, the importance of that Nigeria-Niger electricity pact.

The Kandadji dam started in 2019 and is projected to end in 2026. The ousted president hasn't done much in this regard beyond visiting the project site; hence, It hasn't progressed.

Niger's civil government has, in the past, had meetings and discussions with a previous Nigeria minister of power on how to handle issues that concerning the project. I know about one of the meetings.

Because of Tinubu's carelessness, Niger's new government may not hold discussions. I'm concerned about the implications for us. I'm from a region of the country that'll likely be affected.

You're lucky I answered you.

FreeStuffsNG:

Guinea is already building its dam at the beginning of the river and Niger dam will be useless and probably suspended because the funding will no longer be provided.

Nigeria, unlike Niger, that is landlocked like our Southeast, still has river Benue to supply our tributaries to the delta and direct access to the Atlantic in Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Cross River and Bayelsa states. Check my signature for free stuffs!

Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, again.

Alusiizizi:


I don't think that you fully understood the sentiment of the OP. Re-read.

Alusiizizi:


I cut the rest of your crap after reading these statements. At any rate, no point in arguing with an agbado munching baboon. Would be like reasoning with a brick wall. By the way, good luck with that 30k that you're being paid to promote your balabalu bruva motormouth.
