Many people will not read the write up.

The write up says Tanzania still suffers chronic power shortage.


Do you lack comprehension or you are just plain f**lish?

The news said they had to shut down their plant for the first time due to excess power.

instead if going for an second national grid, they are busy planning to build a worthless coastal highway at 17billion dollars while the whole country wallop in nearly absolute darkness and doubt.

The criminals ruining Nigeria are never interested to see it develop. It’s all about primitive accumulation of ill gotten wealth. The most annoying part is seeing these wretched subhumans defending criminals like Tinubu.

Not surprised!
I have been to a community in Nigeria delta where a certain company decided to provide 247 power supply as a corporate social responsibility,most of dwellers asked that they should instead be given a generator and daily diesel because according to them,the community doesn't need 247 electricity!


There was a country where workers were protesting that they were earning too much and that the government should reduce it but in naija,even the some of the citizens will think too much money in the system will induce inflation!

Well the people get their kind of leaders!

From our comments, I see that majority of us don't know the electricity situation in our country.

The installed capacity in Nigeria is more than what we can use.

The problem of electricity in Nigeria is not generation but distribution.

There was a time last year that some Genco had to shut down some of their turbine because they was no consumer to buy the electricity.

So this has been happening in Nigeria.

Hier:


Did you read the part where they said this is the first, last paragraph

"It is the first time Tanzania, which suffers chronic power shortages, has closed hydroelectric stations as a result of excess production."

Meaning, there is now excess production


Excess production where only 29% of the population have access to electricity. Have you considered maybe it's lack of affordability to buy power that led to excess?

Let me cite Republic of Benin that has 24 hours electricity.Despite the few hours of electricity we use daily in Nigeria,many homes and business places in Benin can not match 6 hours of irregular electricity used by an average Nigerian household or business place. I last visited four years ago,in all my journey over the years I did not encounter a single filling station with fuel dispenser or generator. And this boils down to cost of electricity
So, It won't be a surprise to me if Benin shut down power generation due to excess production

Nigerians do not comprehend the magnitude of their failure as a people. They have been fed this koolaid for so long that they're superior to other Africans, when the fact is that they're closer to the failed African states than the ordinary ones. We are still talking African standards o -- the lowest of all the continents and peoples of the earth.

I am ASHAMED to be born Nigerian and I have done the most possible for a human being not to have their DISEASE as part of my nature. Effect: I am the one who is mad in their insanity asylum. It is a badge of honour to me that they see me as different

Did you yourself read the write up at all. This is the last paragraph. Read it again:

"It is the first time Tanzania, which suffers chronic power shortages, has closed hydroelectric stations as a result of excess production."

They used to experience chronic outage.
They now produce excess.
Re: Tanzania Shuts Down 5 Hydroelectric Stations To Reduce Excess Electricity by Reflect7: 2:25pm On Apr 25
TANZANIA’S ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY IS 38% WHILE NIGERIA’S IS 60%.

TANZANIA’S MAXIMUM DAILY PRODUCTION IS 1,900 mw.

WHAT THIS ARTICLE MEANS IS THAT TANZANIA WAS GENERATING MORE THAN ITS GRID COULD HANDLE.

NIGERIA TODAY HAS A MAXIMUM GENERATING CAPACITY OF OVER 12,000 MW.

NIGERIA COULD ALSO GENERATE MORE POWER THAN IT CAN HANDLE, LIKE TANZANIA DID.

THE POWER SUPPLY ISSUE IS LARGELY ABOUT TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION, NOT GENERATING CAPACITY.

You need to go check your facts before you start dragging GEJ into what doesn't concern him.

Unbundling of PHCN/NEPA into Gencos, Discos and TCN was started and reached advanced stage by Obasanjo administration, before Yar'adua Inherited it. Gencos and Discos where privatised while government retained TCN which manages the national grid infrastructure because it is used by all Discos and due to it's strategic national interest.

El-Rufai the DG of Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) which oversaw the exercise and managed the entire process, and the entire privatisation of public corporations was under the purview of VP Atiku Abubakar. This is why El-Rufai can boast and raise shoulder about having deep knowledge of how to solve Nigeria's power problems, and wanted to use that to warm his way into Tinubu's cabinet.

TCPC which was the forerunner of BPE was set up by IBB as far back as 1988, and was headed by Hamza Zayyad.
So if you want to accuse someone of selling Discos and Gencos to cronies, that person is Mallam El-Rufai. Leave GEJ out of it.

Even Dangote wanted to buy the problematic refineries, but the government of Yar'adua stopped the sale of refineries.

In any case, some of the people who bought the Discos are Gen Abdulsalami Abubakar and Tony Elumelu. I hope you know whose cronies these people are?

Can Tanzania kindly sell the excess power to Nigeria since our leaders are clueless in ensuring that we have enough power for the over 250 million Nigerians.
