Great work of SAN.
Proud to be a SANOSA-ite

funny.
The more you try to decipher what is the root cause of Jumoke's sudden rise to fame, the more headaches you're creating for yourself.
I believe hers is a special case and shouldn't be used as a parameter to those who have M.Sc. (Distinction) in Modelling without half her exposure.
This Jumoke is really a social media hit!
I can only imagine the transformation in her life and that of her family's

We were promised $1=#1

I don't think I can ever get enough of this her story. It's really inspiring

Lol

Your interest (I guess that's why you asked the question) is appreciated. Looking at the two cases they are community driven projects. Before now, I still wonder why universities in Nigeria should still be in darkness or burn diesel like it is oxygen. University communities are a good fit for smaller versions of this project. High profile estates are also fit for such.

The technical side - the expertise to make something like this happen is a major challenge. I am not saying it is impossible to find people here who can design and build electricity generation projects but such will be scarce. In my opinion, getting the funding required is not as hard as getting experienced people to plan and build it.

You're completely right about the availability of technical manpower. Renewable energy systems interest me because almost everything depend on it.
Nigeria has so much potential in this field that it baffles me we are not utilising it, more surprising is the fact that there is no stable power and many businesses and communities rely on fuel burning to generate electricity when an alternative source is just an elbow stretch away.
I hope to fill this technical lacuna sometime soon. I'm currently taking a course on renewable energy systems.

Nairalanders will read this, even comment but will still not change their mindset towards having a partner.
28 years in the spotlight is not beans

I am driven to continue with the series on how stupid we seem to be in Nigeria because of the current 40% in electricity tarriff. I saw one comparison of electricity costs in Cape Town (South Africa's most expensive area) and Ojuelegba Lagos. The poor man living in a one room face to face pays more than the rich of Cape Town for electricity.

Now I bring to you three stories, one of a German village of about 160 homes which generates electricity, the other village generates and sells, and the second is the day peopl were paid to use electricity in Texas. Yes, that is real.

This small German village called Wildpoldsried produces its own power, produces 5x more than it needs, and sells the remaining making $7m annually from selling excess electricity. At the moment, Wildpoldsried has a wide variety of renewable energy facilities, including 11 wind turbines that have a capacity of about 12 MW, solar photovoltaics with a 4,900 kWp capacity, that are mostly mounted on private homes, along with five biogas plants, three hydro power plants, and a solar thermal system. What’s even more admirable, many projects were financed by the town’s residents themselves, with a small help from the Bavarian Government.

The second village called Feldheim has a population of 160. Yes, 160. They contributed 3000 - 4000 Euros each (about N1million each before Naira broke), and today they are totally off-grid. They make their own power! The wind farm now has 47 turbines, which produce 175 million kilowatt hours of electricity every year. The town of Feldheim uses just one per cent of that, the rest is sold back into the wider grid. Residents and businesses now pay a third less for their electricity than other German communities, at 16.5 eurocents per kilowatt hour.

Sometimes in 2015, a very strange thing happened: The so-called spot price of electricity in Texas fell toward zero, hit zero, and then went negative for several hours. As the Lone Star State slumbered, power producers were paying the state’s electricity system to take electricity off their hands. At one point, the negative price was $8.52 per megawatt hour. There have been 84 records of such instances as at 2015, imagine you getting paid for using electricity.

But why are we always getting things wrong? They tell us we pay more for running generators, it is only a core fool that will compare generators with public utility and use cost of running generators as a model for pricing electricity. And it is only in Nigeria you see such reasoning.

what do you think can be done to change this?

One sentence is hardly a life Story
I'm not arguing with where is he, cant you comprehend english? That is one very misleading post
Imagine bill gates saying "disobedience got me where i am today, thank God for making me a disobedient child"

Its just completely inappropriate.

I get your point my brother

Penisinpenisout:
Hardwork got you where you are...
Stop passing wrong information to the public you dumb fvccking rock.

na wa o. person dey tell u him life story u still dey argue.
he alone knows where he is and how he got there, i want to believe you are not where he is just as he is not where you are

Patronise Made-in-Nigeria,
Gave a part of his wardrobe allowance to widows........ I'm still watching him.

Just like air hostesses close the curtains between business and economy class, your case has been closed. Apologise and Leave the family alone.
Despicable you. Common guy!

He for talk say e dey go do medical checkup na instead of first touring then settling on the main thing.
It's allowed to go for Medicaid abroad instead of upping own standard.
It's allowed to use Syria as a perfect coverup when Borno wey dey backyard never receive personal presidential attention. It's allowed.
Nigeria how we are failing.......a small voice keeps telling me there is still hope for this nation.

How God wan judge this case now

asEdeyHOT:
Nonsense

You dont know me and it is an anonymous forum so you can guess away if I have attended an IVY league institution or not

The points I have made still stands since you deliberately deflected from them.

Try harder next time sir

Okay, so you attended an Ivy League, did you finish with a distinction?
Well the point I'm actually making here is no matter what happens, when you see a good thing celebrate. If you have to criticise, do it with the aim of helping (constructive criticism). The tone of your voice and the conclusion of the result not being a big thing wasn't the coolest.
Yes it's anonymous but the world is a small place. Cheers.

asEdeyHOT:
And even she did. It is no big deal

It is not even a Masters degree

It is so painful how we disgrace ourselves in Nigeria. 20 year old Indians get Master distinctions in Ivy League institutions and yet no noise

Smh

Young man, do you have a distinction from an Ivy League university? No? I thought as much too. Celebrate the one that achieved what you desired but didn't get!

I taya o...
the signs are usually glaring to most ladies yet they act surprised.
I like what my friend did.
He called an engagement party and proposed there. Everyone who attended the party knew it was the formal engagement ceremony, they've dated for a few years, we all knew it was headed to the altar

the bright side is that anyone can sit beside him as long as the uniform is worn........who no know no go know.....lol

Lol
The way this man goes about doing what is supposedly the duties of the government, one day we'll wake up and find that Alhaji Aliko Dangote is our government!
From Employment to education to investment to humanitarian efforts..... He's killing it all back-to-back.
I see him becoming as powerful as the Rockefeller

The Coca-Cola Company is now a shareholder of the holding company of Chi Limited, Tropical General Investments Group.

Both companies, in a statement on Saturday, said a binding agreement had been concluded for the Coca-Cola Company to acquire an initial minority equity shareholding in Chi Ltd.

In the statement by Chief Public Affairs and Communications Officer, The Coca-Cola Company, Dan Baxter, and Head of Performance Management Group, TGI Group of Companies, Dr. Johannes Flosbach, both companies said the agreement creates a strategic relationship within Africa’s largest economy that together serve Nigeria’s most popular sparkling soft drinks, juices, value-added dairy and water beverage brands.

The Coca-Cola Company was said to have made an initial 40 per cent equity investment in Chi Ltd and expressed the intention to increase ownership to 100 per cent within three years, subject to regulatory approvals, while working on other long-term commercial structures.
Additionally, the parties reportedly agreed to jointly discuss and explore other opportunities in the region to further develop this relationship.

The statement further read, “The investment in Nigeria’s leading value-added dairy and juice beverage brands – which include Hollandia and Chivita — further expands The Coca-Cola Company’s West African portfolio of still beverages while establishing Coca-Cola’s presence in Africa’s high-growth value-added dairy category.

“The agreement will allow both companies to leverage their respective investments and expertise to further drive innovation, optimise efficiency and strengthen route-to-market to accelerate growth and increase consumer availability and choice.”

TGI Group’s relationship with The Coca-Cola Company, according to the statement, will also help Chi Ltd achieve its ambitious growth plans through access to Coca-Cola’s broad product portfolio and integration into global best practices in production, distribution and brand-building.

President, Coca-Cola, Eurasia and Africa, Nathan Kalumbu, was quoted as saying, “For more than 30 years Chi’s leadership has built a greatly admired business that has quickly grown to become Nigeria’s leading producer and distributor of value-added dairy and juice products and we are delighted to enter the next phase of our growth journey together.”

Similarly, Chairman of TGI Group and Chi Ltd., Cornelis Vink, reportedly said, “Coca-Cola and Chi share the same commitment to Africa, to investing in our operations and to continuous innovation, and our relationship will allow us to continue to provide Nigerian consumers the No. 1 beverage in each of the categories we serve.”
