Hahahahah. We are still struggling to effectively manage domestic wastes. A nation with such a sloppy record of safety shouldn't even delve into Nuclear Plant, let alone have them built by the Chinese and Russians.

Just keep those plants aware from the SS!

I'm going to make an argument from my experience in the power sector as a Power Systems Engineer. It costs $1.5 million to generate 1MW by gas (If the pipelines and metering stations exist). For solar, it's depends on the technology involved which is far costlier than gas. For wind, it is 10 times more expensive than solar (Depending on the technology of solar). Coal is kind of cheaper than the rest. Now building a power plant above 750MW ranges from 15 months to 24 months (note this is just construction). From planning to design to logistics to financing to construction and commissioning takes 4 - 5 years except for Nuclear which can take longer than 5 years due to planning.
Secondly, the transmission capacity right now (last time I checked) is 6000MW. Distribution is a different matter entirely. My point is in order to get 20000MW to the country, we are looking in excess of $35 Billion for generation alone.

Ngasky:
what a shame such illiterates analysis. You dont need more than 8 power plants of just 2.5 MWatts to achieve that. And 2.5 Mw plant is not even a major big power plant.
Infact with just 2 nuclear power plants 20Mw can be achieved. With $10 billion you can build an 8-12 Mw power plant. So with just $20 billion NNPC Unremitted funds power will be stable. Your only weapon which you are ignorant of is the timeframe of 4 years. I gave you that for free. Nuclear power plants takes an average of 5-7 years to complete but thanks to chinese and russians you can have accelarated construction.
Thank god Nigeria has the technology and are already enriching uranium since 2006 at the nuclear research institute and we have already built an reactor in 2006 under Prof Shamsuddeen. Even the IAEA were here when the reactor was lunched.
During OBJ's regime a contract has already been awarded but was cancelled by Yar'adua/Jonathan regime. All GMB have to do is pursue this.
It is only nuclear that can give such lump of MWat in one plant. All developed countries of the world use Nuclear plant for base load. Solar,wind can never give us the desired result.
Hydro have limitations currently the only major hydro power plant possible in the country Mambilla thats all and cannot give us desired result.
Gas plants we need atleast 8 plants and then we will face the problem of gas transportation due to pipeline vandalisation which is the major dilenma we are currently facing.
So Op which analysis gave you 30,000 power plants? Even USA with their population, land area, industries doesnt have 200 power plants all over the country.
All Nigeria needs is 4-5 Nuclear power plants to attain 50Mw status which is more than what we need. And we have the uranium here in Nigeria no need for importing the nuclear fuel.
The excess Mwatts can be a source of income by selling it to Niger republic, Ghana, Togo, and other west african states.
THIS IS FEASIBLE TECHNOLOGICAL AND ECONOMICALLY

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
Building 20, 000Mw generating plant(s) is possible in four years but the major problems are transmission/distribution systems and constant supply of gas (fuel)

I just want the governor of Lagos State, Fashola to be appointed Minister for power to see him fulfill his promises of providing constant power supply to a population of Lagos State and the Industrial facilities in 6 to 8 months.

No time for excuses

barcanista:
I am compiling ALL his campaign promises in anticipation of his inauguration....

SeverusSnape:
Why will they say that
I don't want to hear that o... Buhari must deliver change
1. A Dollar must be equal to a Naira.
2. Buhari will stabilize global oil price.
3. Buhari will feed all school children.
4. Buhari will provide 2 million jobs
5. Buhari will pay jobless youth 5,000 each every month, besides, we have the money.
6. Buhari will finally give amnesty to Bokoharam. (besides, they are now freedom fighters and he once advocated for it.)
7. Buhari will build new prisons so as to incarcerate kworuft people.
8. Etc...

Please let's support Buhari and his agents of change(Tinubu, Saraki, Atiku, Amaechi, Obasanjo), There must be change.

By the way, Showyourcertificate, your topics always make front page, are you a mod??

baralatie:
hian!! dem dey calculate the lie as at now,now!
wait and see!

NaijaTalkTown:
Thank God most of those oil bloc owners supported Jonathan openly. It will be easier to retrieve and nationalize those oil blocs in other to empower our stagnant economy.

sweetgala:
Idiot if Biafra ever tried to succed, the Nigerian state would not grant safe haven to anyone who identifies with Biafra, I can immediately see an enforced border being put up. How would the Igbo man trade effectivty then.

Only if you know who my grandfather is you'd not even insinuate that it is possible that we can sell our land to some Igbos. With what money can you entice he who has much

Go ask your dead father's how the bullets of the Nigerian army ripped their useless bodies apart. 1966 would be child's play in comparison if you ever try that Biafra stunt again

LogicPower:
Even bigotry has a funny side to it. The part in bold made me burst into early morning laughter.

I take God beg una make una remember Nigeria in your prayers more often from now on.

Maybe with more prayers from you and the rest of us, our country would be blessed as a nation, and the blessings would trickle down to everyone of us, and eventually cleanse the kind of tribal/religious bigotry and hatred you exhibited in the original post.

mcdokwe:
laptop fans don't get spoilt, it might have been clogged by dust. Loosening and thighting up the system will solve your problem.

samuelson06:
My advice for you, once you replace the fan, pls sell that thing. Pavilion series is a big disgrace to HP. If you don't sell it now, you'll regret not selling it in the next 6 months.

boolet:
U r a funny dude. Gej exercises patience and so does Buhari. No need to compare Buhari's supporters with gej himself. Compare the two candidates instead. And if you must, u may compare their supporters.

Independa:
Christianity seems to be the religion that suffers silently from attack all over the world, because of our brlieve in peace. In movies we have seen churches burnt, used for drugs,men of God ridiculed and even presented as direct agents of Satan. Try this to Islam, "the so called religion of Peace" and see blood. Pope Benedict made a statement and churches were burnt. Yea, abuses exists, as in other religions, but what is happening is unacceptable. At the heat of these attacks is the Catholic, we believe in peace and freedom, and these are the consequences. Let us hold on because Christ preached and lived peace. If not for our convinction and firm believe in the words of Christ.... Our suffering is a proof to them of our faith. Lets look to Christ.

kevoh:
Seriously, Nigeria need to stop some courses from running for the next five years. Mass-Communication is one of them. The whole system is overwhelmingly saturated with graduates of the same academic background and you wonder why most remain unemployed. Situation whereby you have 100 Mass-Comm jobs for recent 250 000 Mass-Comm grads...

teufelein:
no wonder you find it very hard to mass -communication fluently after spending donkey years in a PIGSTY. ibos love FILTHINESS. they've overtaken yorubas in cultivating dirty environments, frankly.
