GreatBoss:
Bayelsa a fully Ijaw State is made up of over 900 villages and settlements.
Ijaws were unjustly balkanized into Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa-Ibom States when we are fully together and not even scattered by God.

grandstar:
Tinubu may be worried that the Niger coup could influence one in Nigeria.

The only reason why Nigeria hasn't been swamped by militants is due to the financial muscle of the government. That ois why the government can contain Boko Haram

The other countries are very poor. Their entire budgets would probably be needed to effectively contain the terrorists.

Chasing out the French wasn't the wisest of decisions.

ipobarecriminals:
they'll approve it and Tinubu will send troops to Niger.Nothing will happen

Oh, You are actually disturbing the peace with ur 2021 old news. What's ur aim? This thread should be deleted

Niger depends on Nigeria for 70 percent of its power, buying it from the Nigerian company Mainstream, according to Nigelec, the country's monopoly supplier.

The electricity is generated by the Kainji Dam in western Nigeria.

The capital Niamey has a local production source, but many districts suffered from frequent power cuts even before the coup.

Niger is hoping to achieve energy independence by building the Kandadji Dam on the Niger River, about 180 kilometres (110 miles) upstream from Niamey.

It is scheduled for completion in 2025, with a targeted annual capacity of 629 gigawatt-hours (GWh).

ivolt:
Propaganda here is that Niger coupist is severing economic ties with Nigeria with the dam project
when it is actually the pro-Nigeria former civilian governments who planned and initiated the project.

DevilsEqual:
They killed you on your own thread

Shameful you

AlexBells:
Yes, I didn’t know about the dam but I’m not surprised because such dam exist is Nsukka where I come from, once it is certified safe sure they can go ahead but such dam maybe miniature and if it is on main Niger and not a tributary then Nigeria would be notified to investigate potential impact but that doesn’t negate the topic which is, there’s a memorandum to supply them electricity which so they don’t divert or limit the Niger now Nigeria has gone back on that can they do whatever they want knowing that several Nigerian ecosystems rely on that River

ivolt:
You failed to mention the highlight.
This is a 2021 news so it has nothing to do with the current coupist or current events
or trust for Nigeria.
This dam is being co-funded by the French, the French the coupist are trying to get rid of.
I won't even be surprised if the company handling the project is French.

I opened the thread to read your piece as usual but this one is totally out of place.
Don't join the propaganda team please.

AlexBells:
The one I already did what did you do other than try to torpedo it lol, research it yourself

AlexBells:
The point is beyond building a dam, first the alteration or diverting the flow, with innocent use, now what about weapon using it as a weapon, did you research to find out whether the damn was built on the River or a tributary, did you research to find out if the current damn can alter or limit the flow of the Niger down to Nigeria that’s the issue, there’s dam in Ogrugu Nsukka, the dam is built on a tributary of the Niger which doesn’t impact the actual River these are technical term if it were concerning Nigeria could have responded

AlexBells:
What is the essence of the paper upon the fact that Niger depends on Nigeria for electricity what is the impact of the current dam to the River? And have it been functional if not why go back on earlier memoranda

providencia:
Forget about assessment. When their dam is built you will see the result

favor914:
Where will they get the money to continue work, when sanctions have been imposed, & the funders know they cannot pay back?

This mammoth project of 740 billion CFA francs (1.1 billion euros / $1.3 billion) is co-financed by the World Bank, African Development Bank (AfDB), Islamic Development Bank and French Development Agency.

providencia:
River niger about to be dried up. What Aghado govt cannot destroy does not exist

AlexBells:
Tinubu has drawn the first blood, Cutting Niger Electricity to me is a NO, there was an agreement to that effect and not that Niger could not build their own electricity, the agreement was that they don’t build electric dam over the Niger, divert or alter its flow in exchange for a supply of electricity from Nigeria

slivertongue:
NIGERIA should thread carefully

Exerpt from: Niger Speeds Up Efforts To Build First Hydroelectric Dam

Long in the works and long delayed, the Kandadji dam project aims to free the world's poorest nation of its energy dependence on neighbouring Nigeria and boost agricultural production to try and end chronic food insecurity.

Already postponed many times, first to 2016 and then to 2023, the date to fill the reservoir behind the dam is set at 2025 according to the authorities, after further delays due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

This mammoth project of 740 billion CFA francs (1.1 billion euros / $1.3 billion) is co-financed by the World Bank, African Development Bank (AfDB), Islamic Development Bank and French Development Agency.

With its 28-metre-high dam wall, it will have a retention capacity of 1.5 billion cubic meters, or 600,000 Olympic pools.

The project also entails the displacement of 50,000 people, of whom 7,000 have already been relocated, according to the Kandadji Dam Agency.

Located some 180 kilometres (112 miles) upstream from the capital Niamey, in the heart of the "three borders" area that also includes Burkina Faso and Mali, the project has thus far been spared from the jihadist attacks that regularly plague the volatile region.

But Bazoum promised to "increase the number of soldiers to enable" the site to run day and night.

An environmental impact study was completed in 2018 by the AfDB.

While other options such as solar or wind power were also evaluated, the report concluded that alternative energies could "not meet large-scale energy needs."

"The only solution that can solve the recurring problem of food insecurity in Niger is the Kandadji dam because there will be 45,000 hectares (111,200 acres) of land that will be developed to improve production," says Ousmane Danbadji, head of the Network of journalists for water and sanitation (Rejea) and an expert on the matter.

The dam agency forecasts that 400,000 more tonnes of rice, corn and vegetables will be produced each year in a country where 80 percent of the population lives off traditional agriculture, dependent on rains.

JagabanB:
Do u know how state and federal policing work in countries that run them?
With federal policing, it means the FG is funding the policing in some states while they told other states to fund their policing, in America, there so many things that federal police don't get involved in.
That's how it's supposed to be when we implement state policing.
If commóñ sènsè is common, u should have known that providing water for the people is a function of the Local góvèrñment as well as street lightning and building of parks.
So comparing water supply to policing is apt in ur sènsè, I see we shouldn't be talking in the first place.
There's no reason for u to start ur initial reply with abuses but are so èmpty u started with abûsès, I have exchange mentions with people on this same topic with señsîble contributions, yours decides to start like the avèràge agbero, I won't stop low to reply u again.
