Who do you people like comparing this giant of Africa with these kind of countries?

USA, Britain, Russia, France, Spain, Germany etc are giants. These are the giants you guys should be comparing with an African giant.

Okay if they seem to big let’s come down to Africa. I know Ghana & South Africa are not giants in Africa but try compare both countries with Nigeria & see how Nigeria is. Both countries beat their African giant hands down on stable power.

Lol, SA is still 100 times better than Nigeria in terms of electricity. Load shedding is usually scheduled for 2 hours daily except when it’s stage 6 the it goes up to 4 hours.

Tellmeastory:


Because Nigeria has 240 million people, it's harder.

Same issue with India and Pakistan.

Togo and Ghana have more steady light than India.

It is easier, cheaper, and quicker to power up a small country of 5 million to 30 million people versus one of 240 million or 1.2 billion.

It's really that simple!

By the way, USA, Britain, Germany, Russia etc have been independent for several CENTURIES, versus Naija's 60 years. It makes no sense saying we should be like them by now.

Imagine comparing yourselves to countries that have been independent for over 350 years!

You will just give yourself unnecessary blood pressure.

This post highlighted businesses are going an average of 10 hours a day without power. You're comparing it to this same nigeria where it's common to go a whole month without power? It will never be well with you and PDP goverment and obasanjo.

brazil has low population?
russia has low population?
China has low population?
America has low population?
Even the india you all mock has a a trillion dollar economy, Dem get low population?

Allowing failure like this with excuses is why PDP ruled us for so many years.

Most developing countries like Nigeria have power supply issues.

It's important that even as we strive to address this knotty issue, we do not lose sight of the fact that it is not a uniquely Nigerian debacle, and is a challenge faced by just about every other developing nation, especially those approaching Nigeria's size and population.



Load shedding in India

''In 2022, the state of Rajasthan was forced to introduce load shedding for industrial and residential consumers as the country dealt with the worst power crisis it has seen in years. Parts of India experienced rolling blackouts for up to 10 hours or, in more remote areas, 12 hours a day. Damaging fuel shortages have resulted in the shutdown of three power plants in Punjab alone. Reuters predicts that India will continue experiencing widespread blackouts.''



Load shedding in Pakistan

''Pakistan continues to grapple with prolonged and unscheduled power cuts. The country’s severe electricity crisis has hit both rural and urban areas with Karachi experiencing no power for up to 15 hours and Lahore going without power for nearly 12 hours. Although officials had announced a plan to conserve energy, there does not seem to be any reprieve from prolonged darkness.''


Load shedding in Lebanon

''Lebanon is another country that has been plagued with widespread blackouts. This is a result of an economic crisis that the World Bank has dubbed as one of the “most severe crisis episodes globally since the mid-nineteenth century”.

Fuel shortages and, according to the New York Times, a “dysfunctional” energy sector are to blame for the power cuts. Similar to the situation in South Africa, power outages are simply a part of Lebanese life. In the last year, these issues have resulted in state-supplied electricity only coming on for one or two hours a day........''.

Power cut, Lebanon



Load shedding in Sri Lanka

''Sri Lanka has been experiencing months of daily power cuts amid an economic crisis, which famously saw thousands of protestors storming the president’s home.

The breakdown of a hydropower plant and lack of diesel fuel has led to an increase in load shedding episodes. Currently, Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) cannot meet the country’s electricity demand due to an islandwide lack of electricity supply.''


Load shedding in South Africa

''South Africa has been load shedding for 14 years. 2022 has seen its biggest power crisis reaching up to stage six of its rolling blackout system. Businesses are experiencing power cuts for up to six hours a day and have been warned to expect load shedding for another two to three years. There are two main reasons for load shedding in South Africa. The first is the lack of installed electricity generation capacity that cannot meet the demand, outlined in this article. The next problem is that the available energy is far below the demand for electricity, which is why load shedding occurs.''

Nigeria's case is different because it is self-inflicted.

Corruption, piss poor planning and lack of accountability.

Procashtips:
This OP is not smart at all


There's no country on his list that Nigeria is better than in almost everything especially power

Making uninformed post is just senseless.

And of course there is no corruption in Pakistan, India, Lebanon, etc.

They are all just perfect angels.

Only unlucky not to have light.
