MURIC claims Muslims have rejected Boko Haram in the past but I can't seem to recall that happening. This in itself is a subtle endorsement of BH and affirmation of the wisespread Islamic doctrine of non-muslims having no right to life.

They prefer to attack CAN and percieved enemies but never talk about the actions of their fellow Muslims killing and kidnapping innocent souls.

Buhari has been trapped in Aso Rock and now belongs to this cabinet and no poor man.

Human being being traded like puppies.

demonstration of craze, crazy demonstration, democracy.

The problem of this country is afonja; trust me, these people are the genesis and cause of every single problem in this country. They flip-flop and change their minds based on emotions and sentiments; this is how its been with them since creation. Their minds are like women's minds since 80% of them were raised in single mother household. They hated Jonathan because he surrounded himself with Igbos based on merit; this was his only crime. Then the found out that Patience Jonathan is a bonafide Igbo woman pretending to be SS; this was the last straw! They succeeded in getting him out of office and foisting on us this GMB, and now guess what? Typical afonja...they are regretting! Afonjas have been regretting their decisions since immemorial because they make decisions based on emotions and selfishness, not reason or facts!

SMH, Same Yorubas that protested against Turai Yar Adua's caging of GEJ

If a Muslim what's my own
Let them sha release Leah before she farts one day and they say ...

buhariguy:
let buhari finish his 8yr and he should just go back to daura.
And let the young Igbo guy to continue from what buhari has achieved so far,

Or do you want us back to when all the ministrys, department and agency were having 20 Account each.

Nobody can deep hand inside TSA and use it personally

What a cheap way deceive 5% Igbo's again.

HigherEd:
ABUAD/Afe is doing well. One of the best things to hit Ekiti of recent. And if you see the polytechnic right in front, It is just a contrast...

And to think Fayose isn't ashamed and cutting kponmo is sad.

I get you sir. Nigerians are very poor people, if not, tuition charged by private owned schools is still really small for the quality of education we want for a "supernatural turn around", like papa would say, which we crave for in Nigeria.

There are poor Nigerians but I think you are ignoring the crooked minded ones. Some of these poor Nigerians bribe their way through subsidized public unis with hundreds o thousands knowing fully well that they are enjoying subsidy fraudulently and brag about it.

^^^^Challenges exist but as a private uni grad conscious of what went into ones education there is a harder push to break that barrier.

Imagine this scenario, A microbiology grad from let's say UI where the FG subsidy figure is around 400,000/year graduates and can't get a job then decides to raise capital to buy keke or go to Europe via desert for manual labor.

Same graduate could have linked up with one or two other microbiology grads in same shoes and started a laboratory. It can even even give them working experience to secure a good visa in future but no the average grad isn't thinking in that direction. They think govt owes them direct jobs. Govt only owes them a conducive atmosphere to thrive. It is sickening.

^^^@writerights, most people don't have any idea how costly good university education can be. The owners of Covenant and Landmark are trying already. They even subsidizing the schools yearly and it will be wrong to subsidize everybody just for affordability sake.
Currently the schools (Covenant , Landmark) have chosen set standard they intend to maintain and they are giving scholarship to some students then making others pay. With this arrangement the poor can afford the school through scholarship.

If we keep insisting that the school be hugely subsidized to make it affordable to all, then they can choose to admit only the number of students that are currently enjoying scholarship and tag it cheap but in the real sense they only put few students on scholarship. I don't know if you get the logic here.

What is N-power software and hardware about ?

Afterthought.

The Ghanaians have succeeded in taming the erratic herdsmen among them. Good to know.

The man seems to prioritize his adversaries when it comes to fight against corruption.

Somebody is doing a good job.

[quote author= post=67886167]Interesting.[/quote]Thank you.
This is indeed interesting considering the fact that these graduate sometimes cheat to get admitted in the first place and don't utilze the skilled acquired after graduation.
Even more interesting is the fact that most federal unis tend to admit more local indegenes.

Real topsy turvy. Both man made via partisanship and incompetence.

Nope.

MIKOLOWISKA:
transmissions can also be decentralised

It can, but is uneconomical.
Power systems need reduncy alot at the generation level to beat peak/off-peak variation and that calls for a pool of available power plants that can be acheived via centralization.

AZeD1:
That is not what codetemplar is saying

For your other posts, prices in Nigeria are set by NERC not investors.

Price are set by both. Genco set theirs then NERC sets the additional components to compesate of regional factors specific to each DISCO.

AZeD1:
That is not what codetemplar is saying

For your other posts, prices in Nigeria are set by NERC not investors.

That's not what I said but what he is saying is also correct. 10mw plant will cost more per unit compared to a 300mw plant.

AZeD1:
Lagos is not really building any power plant, its all private companies and the plan is to have the smallest 50MW. Also to avoid losses that come with sending electricity over long distance and our ineffective distribution system, the want operators to build close to the consumer i.e if you want to supply FESTAC build it in FESTAC.

All Lagos state government is/would be doing is buying the power from the companies directly to avoid the current liquidity issue affecting the current system today. That is why they passed the power law so that if you by pass the meter, LASG would come after you.

You should find one of the commissioner's briefing on youtube. He spoke about it extensively. Said they already had a gas supplier down because they do not want to rely on the ND.

As for the bold, your initial statement used the word size, its what I was trying to argue with you. If you had said technology this would not have gotten to 3 pages.

Have a great day.

The use of the term "size" was apt because the technology in question goes with power plant size. CCGT isn't feasible with a 50MW power plant.

Better late than never.

HigherEd:
He say comatose

Yea I remembered Okebukola alluding to such figures during AVCNU. If our people understood this probably they wouldn't be hounding the churches that have contributed immensely to higher education in Nigeria.

The UI figure is even higher than this.
I hope the public uni folks who abuse private uni owners have a better idea of what goes into their less funded and significantly subsidized education.
The unilag authorities are pushing for N1.2 million per student per year. That's N4.8m per student on a 4 year program and N6m for a 5 year program but same unilag grads think 800,000 is huge in private unis.
Lalasticlala, people need to see this. It is important for our civic growth.

aribisala0:
I think you are a little bit autistic

You are entitled to your opinion. I still request you show me that post since you feel obliged to insult me for a question I didn't ask you directly.

AZeD1:
I really don't know how to explain this anymore but I will try

If Mr A builds a 500MW power plant with CCGT and Mrs B builds a 250MW power plant also with CCGT, the CCGT is no longer a factor because they are both using CCGT.

On the other hand, if Mr A builds a 132MW power plant with CCGT and Mrs B builds a 150MW a regular gas fired power plant(not CCGT), Mr A would get more efficiency from his plant than Mrs B even though Mr A has a small plant.

It goes back to my point, size doesn't affect economy of scale when it comes to power, technology does.

Good to know you finally accepted the reality of CCGT gas plants.
Going by your above explanation, what you may not realize is that CCGT plants usually starts around the 100MW mark because smaller plants don't give off enough heat to drive much pistons.
The implication of this is that if Lagos goes for gas turbines of significantly less than 100MW capacity then they will end up with generated power that's around N20 more expensive for every KwHr generated.

My first post on this thread was just a expression of my concern about that extra circa N20 per KwHr that can makea the power generated less competitive against those from the huge power plants lurking around Lagos.

AZeD1:
You are missing the point.
codertempler wrote the following on page one


And I responded that the size of the power plant is not a factor in pricing. Pricing is set by NERC so Mr A building a 500MW plant doesn't me his power would be cheaper than Mr B who's plant is 250MW.

That's our argument. It has nothing to do with the technology of the turbine.

Your second paragraph is the reason I introduced CCGT. Since you have rejected a proven industry fact, I know you are determined to hold on to your flawed assertions.

AZeD1:
aribisala0 has answered the question for you.

Lagos state would "license" companies to build power plants (small 50mw - medium 500mw). Those companies would partner with Eko and Ikeja disco because they would be using their infrastructure. TCN would be totally boycotted.

Please sample the post where aribisala0 answered my question. I can't recall seeing a post like that sir.

aribisala0:
Still not sure how knowing that equips anyone better to paricipate on this thread
Is it any more relevant than knowing how to charge a phone?

Haba! Since you don't know what transformers are used for I don't expect you to know how they relate to a topic you have demonstrated a poor grasp of?

By the way, are you AZeD1? he erroneously referenced you.

aribisala0:
This is a social thread not a technical conference Sonny

Sonnyboy
When you start asking questions like what is pi , theta or what is x or y you are going off at a tangent in a geeky way.

Adult conversations are not held that way. No one needs to know any of those details to discuss the issue here. It is not relevant AT ALL what step up and step down mean except that you wish to bolster your insecure little ego.

So for you it means electricity running upstairs and jumping downstairs it makes no diffference

That question was apt for the guy who was claiming he understands how transmission system works. Step up. and step down transformers are crucial nonnegotiable parts of any efficient transmission system. So get out if don't know it.

The question still stands though.
