Power should be the president's priority, but no, na fuel subsidy removal.

Sigh... Like play, like play, one full year go end with the entire nation living in darkness.


Inside this hell fire heat, na una decide to dey summersault grid anyhow...!

Y'all couldn't chill till rainy season... Evil souls!

In 2 years, grid have collapsed more than 7 times. Yet then never still find solution to the issue.

that 7 times should be for 2014 alone.

National grid was said to have collapsed 46times between 2017 and 2023.How do we know a nation with viable and effective economy?It is by her power generation,South Africa has long achieved 50,000megawatts for population of 60million while Nigeria is still struggling with 6,000 megawatts for population of over 250milion.

God will help us.

The TCN body should be probed...we are tired of same complaints since the days of OBJ despite several Govt interventions. No light in Abuja as I write

Come and see my hand writing

Everything in Nigeria is too centralised to the detriment of Nigerians.
End centralised grid, we should have regional grid, decentralised police, federal roads should end, if the road is in your state fix it.

Bastards under a very useless president

The way this President (has won the price for the worst president already). I think someone should check and see if this was the Tinubu of those days or we are having a case of another Jubril cloned from another Country now imposed on Nigerians, a true Nigerian will not make the bulk of Nigerians to be suffering like this (he is like telling the public, I am not concerned about Nigerians, this is realy sad!!!

Its been quite epileptic. Is this how grids collapse in other countries? Wetin dey make the grid collapse like a weak man every time?

I asked this same question some days ago. Why is Nigeria matters always like this? The other countries that had been having constant light for whole 10 years straight, no interruption, why can't Nigeria replicate same?

Why must everything about Nigeria be in chaos? Why must national grids always collapse? Why must gas pipelines always be vandalised? Why can't Nigeria get it right in every sector?

The questions are numerous. I won't lie to you, if I say I don't regret being born in Nigeria, I will be lieing.

Simple basic amenities are what we are still battling with for over 60 years of independence.

Trust me when I say , this country is cursed. Nigeria is cursed. Nothing anyone will try to tell me about this. I have always told ogbonti that this country is no doubt cursed.

Same incompetence
same excuses
From Gas shortage to low ocean level to infrastructure vandalizations, all excuses everyday
Many small African nations got electricity 24/7, yet since 1960, Nigerian leaders keeps giving excuses
Shame to all Nigerian leaders and politicians
Shame!!!

It's not that Nigeria is Cursed .. to you it's seems Cursed but No..

Nigeria is blessed with 85% of her citizens with liars , greedy, self centered, accumulators, destiny killers.. murders

A country that cannot solve its problem since it came into existence is not qualified as a country.

Nnaji decentralized generation and distribution. Since then nobody get mind to do same for transmission

With the quantum amount of public funds invested and expended on power generation and transmission since 1999, we should have passed this level of national issue of grid collapse and inadequate gas supply.

The national grid should be unbundled and turned regional.
Every region should generate, distribute, and maintain their own grid and excess generated sold to other region.
We can't continue depending on our dilapidated, old, and outdated transmission system and expect a different result

This is very worrisome, the issue of power failure! Totally affects trades that depend heavily on power and affect all and sundry.

No be today

Na thunder go fire Una

It's Corruption that made the place like that- especially the North that wants Centralisation, thinking by this Centralisation,they continue to have their ways and they need to know that things are Changing Rapidly!
- DISCOS are all Fraud- they can't improve,as they cannot give Nigeria Industilisation we urgently needed as Corruption have finished them! Where are the Prepaid Meters?
- Gemco is just not there,but so Confused
-TCN is a big manipulation organisation,afterall those that should retire wants to stay and you now wander what the Power Minister is doing,for since he came to tell Nigerians that Power should be subsided or need to remove Subsidies,Power/ Electricity Output has dropped considerably!
-If the Minister can't help,he should go,for this is not what we expect in NIGERIA in 21St Century .We want 24/7 Lights,not darkness!
Aba have Started, let Other States join!

Bastards under a very useless president

Your father must be extremely worthless to have produced a non-entity like you EITHER LEGALLY OR ILLEGALLY, who can't identify useless people. Do your research and compare Tinubu's achievements with that of your father. With that research, you should be able to identify the REAL USELESS MAN.

As usual, the real issue hasn't been discussed...the cost reflective tarrif.

*CAUSES OF NATIONAL GRID COLLAPSE!!!*

Let us take a look at what causes national electricity grid collapse and how it occurs.

What will happen before a grid collapses. I will try to explain in a layman way.


There are 26-grid connected power plants currently.
These power plants generate the power that the entire country uses, and it's synchronised and distributed across the country by the TCN.

TCN are the ones that handle the distribution of power by sending it to Discos.TCN is a government owned entity that majorly operates in three (3) different departments.

1. Transmission Service Provider (TSP)
2. System Operator (SO)
3. Market Operator (MO)

TSP are the ones in charge of maintaining the cables and towers that transmit the light.MO are the ones that handle market processes, rules, enforcement, finances, etc.

SO are the ones in charge of maintaining and stabilising our national grid.

National grid is the interconnections of high transmission wires/cables across the country.The national grid stabilisation and maintenance is done by two methods:

1. Grid frequency
2. Voltage

The most common item that causes the national grid collapsed is measured by grid frequency.

Let us look at how it works.Grid frequency measures the demand and supply of electricity despatch to consumers from the Gencos.

Frequency meters are measured in hertz (Hz).

Based on the grid code, our normal frequency level is supposed to be 50Hz.
Example.

If the current power generation is 4000MWh and people are using all the 4000MWh, then supply is equal to demand, and frequency should be 50Hz.

This is a perfect condition that is highly unlikely.

If we are generating 4000MWh and People are using 3700Mwh, then obviously supply is higher than demand, and for that reason, the frequency will show you 51Hz.

If we are generating 4000MWh and people are trying to use 4200MWh, demand is higher than supply, and for that reason, the frequency will show 49Hz.I know you will ask me how you can be generating 4000MWh and be trying to use 4200MWh😅😅

Take, for instance, your using I-pass-my-neighbour generator, and you're trying to connect 2HP A.C. with microwave on the generator😂

The generator will just automatically shut down.That's how it happens, too, on the national grid.

Nigerian national grid is set to operate on a designated frequency level

Upper limit = 51.25Hz

Lower limit = 48.75Hz

The job of an S.O. is to make sure that the frequency movement is in between these 2 levels Any significant deviation from these 2 levels, i.e., if it exceeds the threshold above or below it, such might trigger a national grid collapse.

A grid collapse is not like a collapse that something bad happens, no. The 26 grid connected generators will automatically Shut down because of safety and security reasons.

In your houses, if you have a serious electrical fault, the circuit breaker will trip off to shut down the entire supply and protect everyone from potential injury or damages.

This is also how it works on a national level. The demand for electricity is not static. For example, let's say you have 10 ACs in your house and other appliances.

In full capacity, your house is consuming 500Kwh, and average capacity can be 300Kwh or less. Lets say in this hot weather, they only allocate 250Kwh to your house, and you're trying to use it in full capacity, if you switch on everything the demand will exceed the available supply you have and for that reason the light will automatically go off. These are all examples of how a demand is trying to exceed supply and how the system will protect itself.

On the flip side, when supply exceeds demand, the system will equally go off for safety reasons. In Nigeria, supply does not always exceed demand unless there is an adverse event that occurs.

Your theory always comes without proof, keep mentioning me up and down in ur profound f00Iishñess, I have a house in Abuja, I live in Abuja.
My family is in Abuja.
U told a fat lie that Abuja didn't have light for 4 days which I countered you with full evidence over how many weeks ago, u told a Iie, own up to ur lie and stop mentioning months later.
Don't be a f00I.

This guy u be mumu ooo



Didnt you see it there? No light in Abuja ooooo... Na me write am?

Why can't we decentralise the grid so that if a tower falls in Ilorin for instance, it only affects that zone ? That will drastically reduce the massive losses and downtime arising from system collapse across the nation.

U wóñ't match that circle even in ur next life.
U told a fat lie few weeks ago how Abuja don't have light for 4 days, u created a thread which I asked u to name the places and you couldn't name any, just like this thread, most of u complaining are the ones living in villages and suburbs and come on the internet to say there's no light in Abuja, say there's no light in ur area, there's light in Abuja.
