50m will install 1000pcs of 300w solar panels making it 300kw of power production daily then run generator at night while saving 100m for wet batteries. In conclusion, 150m will give them 24hrs power everyday for the next 20yrs. Every year this school produces EE graduates yet pay this huge amount for power. Now, aiming 1mw of electricity is about half a billion. Why would they spend over a billion yearly on electricity. My brothers It is Biafra/oduduwa or nothing..no hope in UAR

Is the power requirements of OAU 300KW?

The Rural Electrification Agency (REA) 8.03MW power project for the supply of electricity to the University is on-going and almost completed.

Even though the above may be overdimensioned to account for expansion and possibly supply to neighbouring communities, OAU power consumption can never be as meagre as 300KW.

300KW is roughly 375KVA.

So you are saying a 375KVA gen can power the whole campus of OAU? This is a joke right?


Then also tell me what you mean by 20yrs lifespan. The batteries included? Smh

Lanretoye:
will you keep kwayet!!

He's right.

DedeNkem:
[color=#660066]That's a big lie! Someone or a group of thieves are pocketing huge sums of money!

If the school really wants to reduce power expenses, it should implement Solar!! The ₦82 million is probably more than enough to create a reliable, sustainable and cheap to maintain solar grid to power the whole the school![/color]

A big lie without showing any evidence. I know buildings paying as much as 20million naira per month.

Big Malls pay above 30m per month.

Now we are talking about OAU campus with thousands of AC units, sewage and water treatment plants, student hostels housing thousands of students using hotplates and pressing irons and a lot of staff residential quarters. And people have even stated here that they have about 70-80% availability.

Offices that have their own transformer and have 70-80% availability, do you have an idea of how much they pay monthly? Find out pls. Then extrapolate their size to OAU's.

To set up a solar power system that can comfortably carry just one (1) 2HP AC, you'll be spending more than a million naira. Even with the advantage of economy of scale, the amount you mentioned cannot set up a solar power system for the power requirements of a big campus like OAU.

Btw, 80million naira is just 195,000 dollars.

tonididdy:
They must be getting a lot of electricity to spend that low on diesel.

Exactly why the public electricity bill is that high.

Okwyjesus:
Am sorry for those saying it's a lie. If you've run big firm you won't be saying that.

You think say campus na your street for Akure.

I just tire. Thats the mindset of typical Nigerians. They will oppose an assertion with abuses without providing any basis for their own position.

Rugaria:
2 million on deisel? When Buhari spends billions just for cutleries in Aso Rock.?

It's relative. You can reach an agreement with the discos to pay more and get more power.

Invariably your public electricity bill will soar to the roofs while your diesel consumption goes down.

Orlaoluwayimika:
To pay for electricity

I know as at 2014/I 5 we were paying close to 6mill per month as electricity bill.

Oau is a very big place and power supply on campus is very stable.

If anyone would want to steal, it shld be from buying of fuel wch seems to be very low compared to what is paid to PHCN that is to tell how constant power is in campus

On point.

wpadmin:
YABATECH spends about 8-12 million monthly. Judging by how small YABATECH is, OAU spends less on electricity.

Or OAU rarely has light

Thank you for your comparative analysis. Some people without any rational opposing thought will just be shouting lies lies lies.

Kingluqman:
Great Ife!!!


Truly, light na 24/7 for inside campus.
The campus night life is top notch but spending that much na lori iro

It's possible.

Sigirat345:
80 million to do what ahbeg

It's possible. I know average size Estates paying like 20million naira.

Given the size of OAU, and if they are on priority power supply, they'll definitely pay up to that.

WesternOligarch:
Great one from aketi and SW governors...but instead of these cars that can't enter some bushes....let them get more okadas, they should also get lots and lots of these dogs (train them to specifically attack and bite those herdsmen).....if they have like 40 of these dogs in each unit it won't be bad.

Ride on Aketi..



Right now Amotekun can only carry pump action constitutionally, but there are still more creative ways to fight the bloodsucking demons while we push for gun legalization. Some police force in the world use sleeping gas for example to gas criminals to sleep, once they're asleep they just move in on them ... that's just one of the many tactics...... everything isn't gragra and forming foolish bravery, what's important is being effective.

You are right. They need off-road motor cycle units. This can can also include 3-wheelers for quick intervention.

estyvino:
only 2 slap, oga go you answer the ones wey dem no ask you

Both of them have fresh scars on their faces to show that they have actually flogged them into submission.

FBIBOT:
Wahala.... Can't they verify her claims and let her be?

I tire

BSdetector:
Cow brain......a field marshall should be flying buhari then......this was clearly sabotage from a certain cabal called the presidency...... attahiru was a reformist that was surely going crush Boko Haram and probably investigate activities of his predecessor, he was eliminated and they also used the opportunity to eliminate some of the best southern airmen with potential.....this has been going on in the army for years. But foolish yoruba's continue to join a compromised army.....

Una don start. Attahiru that you people were calling quota Hausa-Fulani General. He has suddenly become a Darling. Smh

Kubernetes:
You then put structures and punitive measures the way its done in the private sector

This has not worked for the past 50 years. What's giving you hope that it will work now?

The only template that can work is to infuse the private sector and reduce govt control to like 40%. Similar to what is happening in NLNG and the Discos.

And if this happens, workers will still be sacked. Private sector does not carry unproductive baggage like govt.

Kubernetes:
The honest truth ;There are about 40% redundant workers in almost every loc gvt council in Nigeria.
Gvt can convert these workers to essential and useful workers by creating and transferring them to income generating ventures in sectors like Agriculture, SMEs etc. Imagine if the Kaduna gvt creates a Bread,Pure water and Agro processing factories etc in each local gvt in kd. Imagine if the state also cultivates at least 50,000 hectares of land in each local gvt and putting these redundant staffs there. The gvts need to start thinking like Business wised, to making income.

Redundant workers cannot sustain any establishment, they'll kill it.

Trustedpronet:
Then tell the governor to create alternatives, how can you employ someone and sack them for no crime committed. Six years is enough to forecast the future of a state if you are serious with governance. Was it not the same elrufai that claimed Kaduna has enough gold reserve more than south Africa? Where is the gold today? Check very well...he might be busy sacking Christians from southern Kaduna and be replacing them with muslims. I don't trust politicians

Before El Rufai became governor, he has been saying the civil service needs trimming.

timesup234:
You are a kiddie that's why you stay glue to brainwsahing western media feeding you bullshit and damaging parts of your brain. If Hezbollah fires a single missile Tell Aviv will be turned into a graveyard. Hezbollah flew drones close to Israel's biggest nuclear reactor and overhyped bullshit iron dome couldn't detect. Israel can only fight children and babies. When they hear Hezbollah is coming and flee

You are joking right? Lebanon? Hezbollah?

Isreal will turn them to minced meat in no time.

Even when Lebanon was strong and they attacked Isreal in partnership with other countries, Isreal spanked them like a kid and they ran with their tails in between their legs like a scared dog.

That was even then, currently Beirut their capital laid waste from explosion caused by themselves. They are economically in deep shit and totally toothless.

Isreal will finish them off totally if they try anything. They are seriously degraded and living in penury unlike the thriving Isreal.

alcuin:
Nazi Germany almost exterminated all of them. So much for "God's Chosen".

And yet, a few remaining blossomed into a mighty strong nation.

sangresan:
Hezbollah isn't involved...If they are, Tel Aviv will be razed to the ground..

What's the big deal with Hezbollah? Till date they lost territory to Isreal during war they waged on Isreal in conjunction with others.

Its these kind of comments that encourage hostilities. So you think you'll hurt Isreal's capital and Isreal will sit down and be looking?

When they attack and Isreal retaliates in multiple folds, people like you will come out and be condemning Isreal again.

Even without war, Lebanon's capital is already flattened due to self-inflicted incompetence.

Pk01:
bro isn't about land grabbing alone is about that popular mosque al,asqa..palestine (muslem) and israel ( more jews, less muslem, fewer xctians) but nigerian xctians don't know this..... the mosque was divided into 2 halve can you imagine ? won't u ask me what will jews do with a mosque?

What was in that place before a mosque was built there? When people hold a place dear, you have to check history before making their acts look like an anomaly.

IPIGSRMUMUS:
Dumb ass mumu shut the FVCK up and FVCK off.
You and your unborn generations are doomed already.
Done responding to a delusional deranged monkey like you. FVCK OFF

You are clearly a terrorist filled with hatred. You'll definitely get what's coming to you, what comes to hateful souls.

IPIGSRMUMUS:
Yeah eternity like 30 to 40 years or even less.
Just watch, nothing last forever. They and their unborn children will pay.

Continue your hopeless wish of evil on others. You may be surprised you are the one who'll receive the evil wish. Who knows? Maybe the generation of those you seem to support are equally paying the price for past sins.

It may interest you to note that countries like US, Britain and Russia has remained undefeated on home soil in centuries. The order has not changed for the past 200 years. The situation with Isreal definitely may not change for the next 200 years as well if this world remains.

The coming generation are equally not sleeping. They are born to continue self protection and preservation in the midst of haters.

FoolishBoy419:
Wait and see. Where was this god when Hitler the great was making suya with them?

You calling Hitler great, clearly shows the kind of human you are.

Staphylococcus:
Sometimes I wonder where this rumours come from that Israel is a Christian country. Christians are less than 3% in Israel and Muslims at over 17%.

I accused a Jew colleague sometimes ago about being a Christian, and told me Jews are not that foolish to believe God came down to Earth in human form, instantly supported by fellow Jew. Through them I started learning Judaism. The old testament they believe in. They claim that of the Christians is still diluted and when you get to see them indulge in so many rituals that you sometimes wonder if they are herbalists

You are either not well travelled or read. Isreal is never regarded as a Christian country. They however have a soft spot for Christians in contrast to the Islamic nations and Christians in turn have a strong disposition to them.

More so, since the Jew religion is the foundation or precursor of Christianity.

Ironically, the Jew religion is also the precursor to Islam. The Torah and gospels were even mentioned in the Quran as holy books to be reverred, but the Islamic states have demonstrated only bitterness to the other religions hence the seemingly brotherhood btw Judaism and Christianity.

Edusouls:
Isreal is being hit hard, instead of fighting back normally, they are there Indiscriminately bombing anything including children, as usual USA won’t talk because it’s Isreal..Isreal’s hands are badly stained with blood including those of innocent kids,yet they call them umuchineke

How are they being hit hard? And the hitting hard is not indiscriminate?

Are you not contradicting yourself? And being hypocritical?

IPIGSRMUMUS:
Israel the racist apartheid State. Sooner or later, they will pay for their crimes. Might be 20 or 50yrs, but they will pay.

Israelis are master planners. Since their country was birthed, they have been one of the most strategic planners.

The holocaust and being surrounded by enemies has thought them a bitter lesson.

They are far ahead of their enemies in every area and still breaking new grounds daily.

You'll have to wait till eternity.

Faithful007:
Israel is not as relevant as you think. They're good but there are still about 10-15 countries better than them. Israel even imports military equipment. They don't produce many military equipment. Their relevance to the US is for power balance, same as Saudi Arabia though Saudi has oil too. Infact, Israel cannot boast of being able to crush Saudi Arabia. Their only advantage is that they have a slightly better air force due to the US F35 sale.

Let me surprise you, Trump was just about to sell the same jets before he left to Saudi and equalize both airforces in terms of capability and Saudi has more money. Israelis pleaded and pleaded, Trump didn't listen. He simply wanted to unite Saudi and Israel to freak the hell out of Iran. That was his goal after the peace deals. Biden came and temporarily halted the deal to investigate it. Much to the Israelis relief.

And American isn't looking away, Biden stated his disappointment with Israel in the forced evictions this week, but asked Palestinians to stop the rocket attacks.

How can you compare Saudi Arabia to Isreal?

Isreal is battle tested and miles ahead of SA militarily.

tamdun:
The western world are not ready to give Palestinians their freedom

The Arabs caused this by their greed.

2elliot:
Does that mean that even though he made those decrees, they were not implemented until after his death? Cos Ojukwu still acted as the military governor of the eastern region until may of 1977, and not province as u imply.

What are you People saying now?? Was the military not appointing military governors throughout their regime? Does that in any way confer independence or separate the entities the military governors governed from the central military government?

If they don't follow the order and commands of the central military government will they not be sacked and booted out without the battling of eyelids and a replacement put forward?

So which Regionalism are you talking about? Regionalism in name only I guess.

gidgiddy:
You are talking about two different things here. Nobody is denying that Ironsi was running a military dictatorship without the pillars of democracy.

What is being disputed is if it was Ironsi that abolished Regionalism and introduced unitary rule.

How could Ironsi have been the one that abolished Regionalism if the 4 Regions he met on the ground were still existing the day he died?

How is it possible that Ironsi introduced unitary rule when all 4 Regions had resource control and fiscal federalism right up to the day Ironsi died?

What is unitary rule again pls? Was he not a unilateral leader? Or were the regions he governed operating independently of him?

2elliot:
How come Ojukwu was a regional governor even after the death of Ironsi?

Regional was only a name. He was appointed by the centre and reporting to the centre.

It was when he tried to break away from the centre that he declared succession.
