₦airaland Forum

I read this and I laughed. Are you a power system engineers? Have you ever worked with Siemen or on Siemens projects before? Do you know the implications of having only Siemen working on a project if that magnitude? Do you know Siemens antecedents in projects in Nigeria? What happens to supply chains when there is a major issue with just only one vendor? Why are the likes of ABB, Tata, GE not involved? Have you thought of financing? So many questions begging for answers. The govt takes advantage of people's ignorance and sign contracts that won't see the light of the day when there is no concrete agreement on how the Gencos and Discos are going to be carried along in this project. Siemens has failed in SCADA deployment in TCN and they are not even fully on ground in Nigeria presently. There are various corruption allegations against them in other sectors in Nigeria. Was a Abba Kyari a power system professional or was he the minister of power that he had to enter Siemens agreement on our behalf? Ignorance is such a huge problem in Nigeria.

AsomughaChuks05:
I support his firing if this is true. No effort should be spared in handing over our entire power infrastructure to Siemens. They are a world class power company and Nigeria would be the better for it. Any individual standing in the way of the deal that would revolutionize our electricity sector and ensure regular power supply must be swept aside. God continue to bless the late Abba Kyari for having the vision.

One of them called me this morning. I gave him all the curses he needed to have something to pray for.

Go ahead and do this for your sibling. Your residency in Manitoba will definitely help in his application by giving additional point just like in Saskatchewan.
I don't know what the first responder meant by saying there is no family draw. What is family draw? I am sure he was talking about something else.Please read more about Manitoba provincial nominee.

ArcUgo:
Already considering it, thanks for this.

Please is there anyone who just got migrated through Sask PNP express entry? I will like to know how long it took from EOI, ITA , Sask Nomination and COPR.

I saw an average of 20 weeks for Sask PNP nomination, and I have heard some people that got it in 3 months. I will like to know if anyone has done this between 9 months and 12 months at most.

Just develop Convid symptoms.....come and thank me later.

There are hundreds if not thousands of cases in Nigeria now based a predictive analysis by WHO.

We are in for a surprise!!!

Please who lives in Burnaby or Vancouver BC here?

I need information on jobs, safety, and living expense and rent in Burnaby especially.

This is gross misinformation! You have no clue about power sector and the reality on ground in Nigeria. How much do you spend on generators annually from different countries to allude that some nations use your money to develop themselves?

You made mention of solar energy as if it is what industrialized nation and developing nations use to spur development. Germany as at today still use coal in power generation, so also US, China and Canada. Do you want to power industries with solar energy?

Google all the developed and developing worlds to look at their energy mix. We don't have the resources for cheaper power generation, you are talking of solar energy as a nation trying to develop industrially when US is pulling out of Paris climate change agreement. Please what are the cheaper sources of energy that Nigerians are producing? I will like to know one bros.

As I type this, I just finished a meeting with a top person at Ikeja electric on some power issues in Nigeria. I have an experience in the industry not as a power system engineer though, but with what I know, anyone that is talking about ban on generator now is either insane or plain stupid.

We have a generating capacity that is under utilized that we are even selling electricity to neighbouring countries just because the TCN owned by the FG 100% has a mere 5000 MW wheeling capacity out of about 13,000 MW we can potentially produce.

Please let me know if you are willing to learn so that I can break this down to you as even those in NERC and ministry of power are technically deficient to know the issue with electricity in Nigeria.




[quote author=slimfit1 post=87403340]Generator bill is the only sensible one there. To develop we need to take drastic action taken otherwise 10years from now we will be having the same problem.
We have a few years before countries stop combustion engine production. European countries will stop producing generators. But the countries producing them don't use it. They are going to use the financial opportunity of these to weak our chances of developing our energy so that we keep depending on them.
We can spend money on other sources of energy like solar, there are intelligent Nigerians out there developing better cheap sources of energy we are not supporting. States are supposed to spend money on research and installation of solar in schools and hospitals. We should look at noise pollution and air pollution these generators cause and the health impacts in our lives.

FFK has money to fly to UK for care do we all have that NO. My argument might not make sense now but look at the future opportunity. [/quote

[quote author=madridguy post=87371183]FFK is a certified mad dog no be today.

A reasonable Nigerian will understand the fact that the more generator companies we have in Nigeria the more our power sector will remain jagajaga. Marapco, Jabaili brothers, Mikano to mention few were brought into the country by the cabal killing our power sector.

FYI, Once you dey area with steady power supply, immediately one filling station enter the area, forget the rest na suffer because they will bribe NEPA official to stop giving you steady light for dem to dey sell.

I stand with the senator. [/


Ignorance is a big disease as shown by this rubbish you typed. It is very senseless to say generator importers are the cabal working against power sector. You have no understanding of the sector like the people this useless government put in place.
Let me educate you...I am an electricity market professional with focus on Energy risk.
We have no much problem with generation as we have installed capacity of about 13,000 MW out of which we even supply neighbouring countries because your govt owned TCN can only transmit about 5,000 MW. The first issue to be tackled is the issue of gas pricing and efficient project management planing so that our thermal plants which constitute 80% of our energy source as against 20% for hydro can be guaranteed constant supply of Gas.
What has TCN done to increase transmission capacity beyond 5000MW? What does this have to do with Mikano? Besides, we operate a centralised grid that sends all generated power to the national pool before it is sent to where it is needed thus creating inefficiencies and loss. What does a generator importer have to do with this?

All the Discos lack the technical and financial capacity to distribute as they can only distribute a mere 3500MW of the transmitted energy. The average ATC&C loss for the Discos is 40%, how can they perform optimally? Out of the meagre distributed 3500 MW, they don't recieve payment for up to 1000 MW due to energy theft, unwillingness to pay, and debts by ministries, departments and agencies- MDAs. In other words, government is the number debtor and contributor to the liquidity crisis in the industry.
To top it all is the ignorance like the one you displayed here of the people running our power sector. How can NERC put a CAPEX limit of 5b on all the Discos and you expect them to increase network capacity? A SCADA system alone costs like 5b naira. There are other technical areas I can't talk about here.

But bros, if anyone has told you that generator importers are killing the power industry, tell such person to please shut up. We live in a world of knowledge and information and the earlier we get informed, the quicker we solve our power problem.

madridguy:
Alhaji Sanusi should accept his fate and move on.

For you to eat with the devil you must have a very long spoon. The moment he started taking side in the last election, i knew the man is gone already should Ganduje win.

Look at the Sultan of Sokoto, always talk with caution.

Politician can kill their mother to retain power so you don't mess with them.

This fear of politicians is what keeps Nigerians in servitude. Politicians are your servants who hold public wealth in trust for you and I. They are answerable to us. But here we are in Nigeria. People have lost their senses of self and see politicians as lords and saviours. When they are done with their enslavement, their kids take over from them just because we have a docile population . So sad!

Antoeni:
For once i Agree with APC, What has he done for his community? Someone will tell me he Fixed Otta Road to his church,its Normal to Fix Bad Road that Leads to your Business Center

So many goats litter the social media space.

Please, who lives in Vancouver or Ottawa? I need information on monthly expense for a family of 4 renting a 2 brm and driving 2 cars. What is the minimum salary to live a comfortable life?

I am landing in Regina and I am doing just 6 months there.

salford1:
Ancestors?
You are mixing things up.
Ancient Israelites are the present day Arab looking Palestinians. They are fighting for their Ancestral land.

The people majorly controlling the modern day Israel are European jews chased out several of European countries after WW2 by Hitler.

Europeans Jews....lol Ancient Israelis are present day Palestinians. Wetin Musa no go read for Nairaland.

aremuforlife:
There was nothing like Isreal before 1947 in world map.
The western world makes Palestine weak
They were not giving any chance but propaganda to weaken them.
If there is going to be any peace plan between the two state, it shouldn't be from Americans because there will be conflict of interest.

Before the word 'map', there was Israel.

Jesus came as a Jew,

Please tell me who was Palestinian President before 1947.

aremuforlife:
Will you as a person accept a plan you are not aware of.
Sentiment aside, Isreal has been encroaching Palestinian lands for decades, They they have been killing them for decades,
What has American done to stop the settlement and killings.
You wake one day and say we have a plan for Palestine and Isreal without a sitting round table and you expect them to take it.

Where was Palestine before 1948? Who was their president? And what language do they speak?

They should go to Jordan where they have always belonged!


God bless Israel.

mu2sa2:
Palestinians are Christians and muslims. Jews have reduced all Palestinians to an existence akin to prisoners in their own homeland. If jesus were to materialise today, he will certainly stand with palestinians against their oppressors.

Where was Palestine before 1948? Who was the President? What Language do these speak in Palestine?

I hope you will be able to answer these questions. The Jews have been living since Bible times........Jerusalem has been their city from the time of David.

inafix2019:
Good day!
Please for a family of 4 with no family or "close" friends in Canada, whose initial main focus is "settling down" (basically to start working in entry level positions and not deplete POF, then later face regulated professions licensing), kindly assist to offer advise on the best landing city.
Presently considering Manitoba, Edmonton and Calgary, based on my online research on the cost of living.
Please kindly advise and help us make a final informed decision.
Thanks.

I will advise you go to Regina in Sask, Winnipeg in Manitoba or Edmonton in Alberta.

Yakay:
It is actually true, for Sask your job role must be related to your course of study, regulated field or not.

So for NOC 6235- Financial representatives, what course of study do you want to present for this? Mind you I know people who got their ITAs recently.

I don't know the degree that relates you financial sales.

You only need to have a degree if the minimum education is a degree, but your job present job responsibilities must align.

SoftWorking:
Yes for Saskatchewan Nominee Program your job must be in line with your credentials. You cant Have certificate in microbiology and be a Secretary.

This is not true. Your job responsibilities only have to align with OID- Occupation in demand. Then if you work in a regulated profession, then your degree must align with the job.

noisy45:
Seriously its getting Messer I laugh at some idiots in this forum thinking that America will easily crush Iran when the war starts. In there mumu minds Iran will face USA war machine with stones and sticks

Iran hit bases that have evacuated forces just to save face.

KingAzubuike:
Lol same country you claim sells buys theirs from the USA and Europe.. dude be educated. Israel is no match for Iran without allied backing.

educate yourself. Google OPERATION HOUSE OF CARDS ..........Read on how IDF carries out sorties on Iranian assets in Syria in the last two years every month killing them and destroying their assets...... Goggle how many Iranian nuclear scientists MOSSAD has killed...Google how MOSSAD went into the heart of Tehran to get archives of Iran nuclear program. Google 6 days war. Seems you are just having access to internet and foreign media.

KingAzubuike:
Israel has a better military than turkey an Pakistan? Lol you're not worth arguing with. In your own case don't let propaganda fool you. It's people like you that use to say Israel has the strongest military on Earth because of God.

Turkey and Pakistan have a bigger military, but Israel has a better military. There is none of the two that has air superiority over Israel.

In terms of electronic warfare, better fighter jets, and the most experienced fighter jets pilots, Israel is well above. Israel does not have the numbers of men and equipment Turkey and Pakistan have but Israeli tech and air defense systems developed by them give the edge of the ability to defend homeland in case there is war. Google it, you will find out that Israeli technicians are the ones repairing and upgrading Turkey's fighter jets. They are partners and allies in the middle east, though the recent recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel by US and Israeli attack on Turkey's ship carrying relief materials for Gaza people almost impaired their relationship.

realestniggah:
I don't see how any sane individual can support the US who are known for war mongering.

First of all the United state are wrong to enter an international air space to fire using a drone on a citizen of another country.

I don't see in the news where a foreign government come into the USA to unleash a weapon. It never happen.

Why does the United state feel they can do that and get away with it?

Did Iran government ask for help before firing that drone?

How ever I you loom at it the United state are wrong.

Up until yesterday this was the first time I'm hear of that man.. And from images and videos I've seen he seem like a man who was loved by Iranian citizens.

If you have ever read the history of WW1 and WW2, you will forever thank the Americans for their role in the world. Sure you have never heard of Qaseem Soleimani until yesterday and you are not a student of international politics and events in the middle east...............If you know only 10% of Qaseem Soleimani attrocities and his visions for middle east, you will realise why he was taken out.

So Childish.................You don't say these jargons where educated and informed people are. I am sure you never heard of Qaseem Soleimani until yesterday. Just google his name and read all his attrocities. 'Iran has backers in Russia and China'...........lol.....You are not a student of international politics and the events in the ME, hence this statement.

So Pentagon called you to say they are afraid? There was hardly a month in the last 2 years that Isreali defense force didnt kill Iranians and destroyed their assets in Syria, yet they couldnt lift a finger. After the failure of Iran-Iraq war in the 80s, Iran realised they couldnt sustain a direct war......they have since resulted to using their proxies. It is only the militias and Hezbollah and other sleeping cells funded by IRGC that will launch attack on American interests...........they will all be taken out las las.....

Please, what is 'heavyweight champion'?Na boxing? And what asset do Russia and China have in Iran? What strategic importance is Iran to Russia or China?

Bibi has been looking for a chance to bomb Iran for years now.........I hope the Ayatollahs don;t make a mistake of striking Tel Aviv.

Iran that couldnt win Iraq is now threatening US, and some students believe Russia and China will jump in and fight US..........So silly! Russia and China care less about Islamic Jihadists..........Ask the Muslims in Russia and China!

If Iran dares attack any American ship on strait of Hormuz, they won't survive what will come over them.....Remember, economic sanctions and uprising at home will make them thread the path of caution.

I beg, it is better to be mute than to say what you don't know.

itsme01:
stop spewing trash..


Suliemani isnt a terrorist but a trained high ranking Military General, he wasnt a fugitive as he travelled legally into Iraq and cleared customs and imigration.. what evidence does the US have on him and why wasnt he arrested if they can prove any allegation, why kill a career serving man who merely followed orders of his constituitionaly recognised President like similar US Generals and Army

If any of you naive people think this is any atrocities revenge and not US miscalculation then you guys are slow.. as the real Americans are panicking as we speak and US secetary of state had called almost all allies of the US from Germany to Uk

I laugh at some Nigerian Dunce thinking of sentiments of religion.... IRAN has strong backers in Russia and China and they craze war to show they are the new Heavyweight champions

*Disruption of oil supply in the gulf axis would spell doom for countries that finace it self on Oil revenue
*A war with Iran would by extension force Russia and Chian to defend its asset in Iran
*Iran, China and Russia already have naval ships in the meditaranian ships

anonymous1759:
You know nothing jare keep quiet. You think war is won by size of nation? ? Allies matters a lot . America going into direct war with Iran is as good as fighting China and Russia combined. If not for Russia and China America would have gone to war with Iran long ago.

Hey Just keep mute. IDF has been killing Iranians and destroying their assets in Syria for years and no one has stopped them.

So you think Russia will be stupid enough to confront US because of Iran? All these NTA analysts no go kill person sha.

PerfectlyPerfect:
I know the US, I know Russia. The US is technically advanced but for the past 20 years they've been preoccupied with fighting unreasonable wars in different countries. Russia on the other hand has greatly improved their R & D. Once in a while, US' DARPA will show a new tech, but there's a big difference between a prototype and a battle-ready equipment. Do you know that the most advanced US fighter aircraft currently deployed, the F-35 is already obsolete, even before it's development was completed? Russia knows that the future of warfare isn't in the air, it's easy to take down aircraft. Russia has focused on submarines and missile tech, and they currently have the world's first hypersonic missile, and a range of missiles that can take out US aircraft carriers.
I'm not going to talk about the S400, read about it. Right now, the US has nothing as advanced as it is

F-35S obsolete? Please what makes F-35 series obsolete? Guess you have been reading a wrong piece on the internet. IDF just took delivery of another squadron.........S-400? This has already been circumvented by the IDF.
The future of warfare isn't in the air? Are you a military strategist who knows better than Pentagon? Here this, in conventional war, no nation comes close to the US in weapons, strategies, logistic and capabilities to strike from anywhere in the world. War with Iran does not translate to war with Russia and China as these two countries will only watch.

For years, Isreali defense force-IDF has been striking Iran interests in Syria and Iran has not responded.

Any war between the US or Russia will go nuclear and both nations won't do such a stupid thing.

gnykelly:
defense spending does not equate adequacy... what China will build for $10 American will build for $250

Have you heard of F-35s? Military spending does not equal what? Even Iran couldnt react to constant spanking from IDF in Syria. They can only attack through their proxies and they will not want any direct confrontation with the US.

PerfectlyPerfect:
Lolz. The truth is that we're in fact overestimating them. That's what they want. If you're afraid that I may have an AK-47, you won't attack me. We don't know, but all the western media have always been used by the US to project the US as very powerful. Russia developed the world's most powerful missile defence system and the whole world didn't know about it until it was deployed.

S-400 developed by Russia has been circumvented by the IDF..........S- 300 has been operational in Syria, yet IDF operates with ease.
Who is overestimating the US with such a huge budget on defense. Iran can only attack by his proxies and will try to avoid a direct confrontation with the US. The stealth B-2 bombers and the F-35s will do a lot of damage to Iran. US just made a bold statement and we all can relax and see what Iran will do.
IDF has been killing Iranian military men and destroying their assets in Syria without a response.
