If this will solve the headache, why not.

The present Discos are dancing disco with Nigerians and their intelligence.

Briefing reporters after the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting in the State House thursday, the Minister of Power, Mr. Saleh Mamman, said whereas Nigeria currently generates 13,000 megawatts of electricity, it transmits 7,000 to Discos while the distribution companies can only distribute 3,000 megawatts to end users.

The bolded caught my attention.

So, according to the lousy and talkative Minister, Nigeria generates 13,000 megawatts and are only able to transmit 7000 megawatts almost half the amount generated to Discos, while the Discos, in turn, are only able to distribute 3,000 megawatts, almost half of what was transmitted to them to end-users.

I'm seriously trying to make any sense of what gave the minister the right or moral compass to accuse others of what he is guilty of.

Mumu people, na only how to apportion blames and award bogus contracts to selves dem sabi.
The Minister is saying the truth Oga.....Discos are our problem.

The issues arising

1. Siemens is not going to come in and charge bills below the production price , so bills go up. Siemens is also not coming to invest in Nigeria sans profit.

[s]2. Discos will expect to be compensated for being forced out of the business for Siemens.[/s]

3. Expect higher bills, but improvement in power supply

Modified

Thanks for all the mentions. Have had some interesting discussions downthread,and for once, people are discussing without adverse language!

All the info I have about discos and gencos and power comes from several years of reading sparked by GEJ privatising power and issues I had getting a meter for my then place of residence (ended up still being on estimated till i moved house to a metered place!),and other life experiences

I have to go now, life calls. Thanks.
It will cost FG little or nothing to withdraw these discos license.
They have failed to live up to many of the agreements they signed at the beginning.
FG will just capitalize on any of their shortcomings and withdraw their license.

If you are a journalist willing to make a name for yourself, one of the biggest story you can do now, is a report on the privatization of the power sector. There's so much looting to be uncovered in my own opinion.
Do some investigation/cover story on the privatization of the power sector and you'd be amazed at how much have gone down the drain.

So much is being spent on nothing. God help us.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ON THE 2020 PTDF OVERSEAS SCHOLARSHIP

Unlike last year in which there was a separate application between UK and the other Partnership countries, in this year, only one application is accepted

If you want to go to the UK, you must choose UK schools as your first, second and third choices

If you want to go to other partnership countries, you can choose any of the countries. For example, you can decide to choose Malaysia as first choice, France as second choice and China as third choice.

The closing date of the application is now Feb 17th, 2020

Thanks @OP.
Unfortunately, I just observed that you can't apply for this UK's if you have applied for the other one earlier launched. They should have launched both at the same time. cry

EducationRe: How Do I Improve My Spoken English? I Need Your Advice Please!!! by CrystalMax: 8:11pm On Dec 31, 2019
Watch English movies (Foreign) with sub titles.
Watch CNN/BBC/DW/Aljazeera news constantly.
Listen to foreign rap music and read the lyrics of the said songs.
Try communicating in English.
Read the dictionary, hunt for new words and be quick to use each new word you learn to make a sentence.
Thank me later

Nice one from 2baba.
For me, the biggest lesson is this; "Know how best to channel your grievances". He would have lost the suit he filed against 2baba, if he had went ahead with it. He labelled him a thief, he spoke without knowledge. That would have ruined him, should 2baba's lawyers followed up the matter well. He'd have lost all then.

Whenever you are aggrieved, meet seasoned professionals for counsel. Emotions does not win a battle, good strategy does.
Lucky him sha!

A small (single phase) generator can never power a three-phase distribution transformer.

That generator is used for injecting voltage when carrying out certain types of tests on the transformer.

Please don't jump to conclusion on what you don't know.

That generator is used for transformer test by PC&M crew.

Christianity EtcRe: 10 Richest Pastors In The World And Their Cars by CrystalMax: 11:36am On Sep 18, 2019
Godspower35:
Churches around the world earn millions of dollars every week. This money comes from tithing, offerings and prophetic gifts and is used to pay the salaries of community workers. In addition to church offerings, they also earn money on TV shows, special performances, books they write, and much more. The overseers of these churches are also workers.

We have decided to give a deep insight into the lives of some of these spiritual leaders to bring you the 10 richest pastors in
the world and their cars:


1.
Kenneth Copeland - worth 120 billion naira

The richest pastor in the world, Kenneth Copeland, became a Christian in the mid-1990s and founded the ministries of Kenneth Copeland in Texas. The church earns millions selling books, DVDs and more. The church has its own runway and it flies with a 6 billion Naira jet. Copeland lives in a 2 billion naira mansion and drives numerous cars such as an 88 million Naira Maserati, Range Rover, Audi and Bentley.

2.
David Oyedepo - worth 54 billion naira

The founder of Living Faith Church, also known as the Winning Chapel, David Oyedepo, is the richest pastor in Africa and Nigeria. He preaches about prosperity and lives life to the fullest. He owns two universities in Nigeria - Covenant University in Ogun and Landmark University in Kwara. He has a lavish collection of cars, including a Range Rover Sport with 12 million Naira, a Bentley GTC, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and a Roll-Royce Phantom. Even more shocking was that this was just one of two private jets under his name.
Bishop preaches the word of God in its entirety (with most emphasis on FAITH in God) . Please let's get our information right.

PoliticsRe: Discos’ Collection Efficiency Drops Despite Tariff Hike by CrystalMax: 11:47am On Sep 16, 2019
Naijaguy123:
Ghana has 5000 MW of electricity but only needed 2700 MW of electricity so Ghana has excess of electricity and Nigeria with all its resources has no electricity! Shame of a country.
Brother, from all indications,distribution of power is still a major challenge in this country. We have not even been able distribute the 5,000+ MW (peak generation) that we generate. The Discos reject load because they claim they can't achieve maximum revenue collection, hence they limit the load they consume which in turn reduces availability of power supply to the beloved residents of Nigeria.

I am not against the upgrade of our power generation, however we also need to greatly clamor for an improved distribution network.
