mzilakazi: SA gained independence long before Nigeria came into existence. If you think about those countries that looked into Nigeria surely that is not SA. Moreover, Mandela never spend six months in Nigeria, that's a lie. That is only known to an old crazy mab known as Amechi. I asked people who were on the struggle and they couldn't confirm it and have reduced it as lies from a man who want to gain exposure by using the name of Mandela selfishly.
And those countries looked to Kwame Nkrumah, of Ghana anyway.
And then to Patrice Lumumba of Congo.
And to Julius Nyerere of Tanzania.
And my brother leader Gadaffi.
And to Samora Machel.
And to Kenneth Kaunda.
And to Sam Nujoma.
Nigeria has no heroes and inspired no one. It was just a blackhole of chaos.
agaugust: South African nuclear reactor was blown up by ANC terrorists inside South Africa by one man who escaped on bicycle under the noses of all South African military and intelligence forces.
South African air force headquarters was blown up inside South Africa by terrorists in broad daylight.
What makes you better than Nigeria? We fight suicide bombers, you fight an enemy that is not even bold enough to kill himself.
Book Haram will wreck South Africa if they operate from among your citizens .
Stop smoking ganja, Augububu.
That would be another Chernobyl.
Chineke! You lie to the point of losing your mind in your irrational lies.
MEND Endorses Buhari, Expresses Lack Of Confidence In Jonathan
By Osa Okhomina — Jan 7, 2015 | 10 Comments
The Niger Delta militia group, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), yesterday endorsed the candidature of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Mohammadu Buhari, saying he is the right man to revamp the failing state of the nation.
Msauza: I wonder when was the last time I saw squatter camp in SA townships. The government of SA is working 24/7 to eradicate such rubbish with free RDP houses.
Don't even worry about small boys, man.
Go read this guy's tweets:
@heirique
He's a soldier in the NA. Man, the stuff he says. Nigerians here should be ashamed.
craziebone: sa has no independent source of electricity, fact! Prove to us that your companies generate their own power. It is a known fact that SAns and their companies depend completely on their grid.
craziebone: fact is...donkey's shit can never generate as much power as a giant generator feeding all of the bank branches, telecom masts many of whom are in the middle of no where and the generators power them 24/7. Donkey's poo can never generate what Dangote, nestle, cadbury, Nasko, indomie, innoson, may&baker etc generate.
Wow, you sure are slow.
I am saying to you, what do you think will happen to South Africa's numbers once we start adding independent sources as well? We haven't looked at donkeys and camels like you guys do because that's just ridiculous and we still lead.
And then I asked three questions:
1. Who is the biggest USER of electricity on the continent? 2. Can you store electricity? 3. What are South Africa's total numbers?
You can't answer them. You are a joke like your leader, Henry.
Msauza: Yes, it is already compromised. The only solution for Nigeria for now is to vote for Buhari who seems to be tough on security than sissy Jonathan.
The Niger Delta militants might have a thing or two to say about that. And who knows what weapons they've collected in this period of relative peace for them?
Msauza: South Africa enters solar power world top 10
The Droogfontein solar power plant, located 20 kilometres outside Kimberley in the Northern Cape, comprises over 165 000 photovoltaic panels spread over 100 hectares of land (Photo: Droogfontein Solar Power)
8 July 2014 South Africa has now connected more than half a gigawatt of utility-scale solar power, moving into the world top 10 of countries harnessing renewable energy from the sun, according to figures released last month by Wiki-Solar.org. Wiki-Solar is a leading authority on the deployment of utility-scale solar power - photovoltaic (PV) power stations of 5 to 10 megawatts (MW) and above. The United States tops Wiki-Solar's list of the top 10 markets for utility-scale solar power, with 349 solar plants together generating 6 498 MW, followed by China (4 607 MW), Germany (3 428 MW), India (1 897 MW), Spain (1 680 MW), the UK (1 523 MW), Italy (875 MW), Canada (714 MW), and France (677 MW). South Africa is in 10th spot, with 15 solar plants now contributing 503 MW to the country's electricity grid.
Henry120: Men withdrew from a base before it was overrun by militants. Airstrikes aren't a magic wand to anything. If they were, coalition forces won't be bombing kobani for over 3 months. They bombed the town yesterday again.
A strategic decision was taken to abandon the base, it was in the best interest of the troops involved.
Boko-haram controls no territory in Nigeria, active operations are on-going in an area which has always been a hotbed for extremists.
How do YOU know when they withdrew? You don't. You are just saying stuff.
Msauza: That is not Nigeria that I know which is always dark every night. You are just making a joke of yourself with your foolishness. Why can't you drop this subject and make peace with the fact that SA produces more power than Nigeria. SA produces more power than Australia and many other European countries and is standing at position 14 in the world. Nigeria can never compete with SA in power production, not even to mention the large industry that SA has.
Nigeria produces an overall electricity of 4000mw and you can never use generators to add to a national grid. Generators produces a very less electricity which is at most 220v and this amount can never exceed 2000mw if used by 40 million people. Not everyone in Nigeria can afford to buy a generator, large majority of Nigerians are still stuck to a stone age of using fuel and woods as a means of energy.
Your claim is therefore invalid and unscientific because you just guessed all the numbers out of your bottom like a demented person. Even your source is just as drunk as you are because is just making sweeping and inflammatory statements by attributing 15000mw of bogus electricity to industries linked to dangote without giving fully analysed and supportive scientific information. Well, I really don't know why should I be bothering myself because Nigerians will never willingly admit defeat even when everything is clear before their very eyes.
Next thing, Henrito will add candle power onto his numbers.
Henry120: You south-africans are in desperate need of a sound education.
Electricity generated in each country. There are multiple ways of generating electricity.
Nuclear, coal, gas, IPP's, solar, generating sets etc etc.
It isn't a question of what method used in generating electricity, but how much electricity is generated in each country.
All heavy industries and manufacturers produce Independent power which isn't added to the national grid, but power used in running their own individual companies. Power generated is over 15,000MW by these companies.
Nigeria on it's own produces at-least 15,000 MW by all it's power stations. This is power generated, not power distributed to consumers.
Now, add the power generated by each individual household.
What then is the total output of power generated from the country?
You are a beeeeg joke, Henry.
I told that you are a joke.
Look at you.
What are South Africa's numbers, Henry?
You are a joke baba, and your answer to this question will prove it - as if your posts alone weren't enough.
Actually, let's flip it - Henry , who is the biggest consumer of electricity on the continent?
Nigeria's problem isn't in generation, rather weak distribution infrastructure. The government's generation, individual companies generation and the power generated by individual households put together is more than the power generation of South-Africa.
Whether you accept it or not, facts are facts.
I have learnt to laugh from the belly again. Thanks, man! You know your posts on this are even beneath this forum. But on comedy Central, they rock!
You rock Henry! What's your next joke? They ride the below in Nigeria?
Henry120: "With only 10,000MW of electricity supplied to Lagos from the national grid at peak, he lamented the insufficient supply profile, explaining that the plight necessitated the IPP scheme initiated by the state government to strategically ease the network.
He, therefore, urged Lagosians to desist from wastages and conserve energy with October already declared as Energy Conservation Month.
Henry120: Will Nigeria’s initiatives on electricity work? 08 October 2013, Abuja The development of a nation from experts’ view is often rated by how much resources it has committed to improve lives and how effective such efforts have been. power outages in the Nigerian environment are no news even in the wake of myriad policies on electricity improvement. Nigerians have literally continued to wail due to fluctuating electricity supply. government has not been so candid on overhauling the ailing sector. Rather, a shoddy and berserk public power utility system mercilessly sucks the people dry at maximal efforts to get even the barest wattage of electricity supply. The National Integrated power Project (NIPP) was conceived in 2004 as a fast-track government funded initiative to stabilize Nigeria’s electricity supply with focus on generation. The federal government also incorporated the Niger Delta power Holding Company (NDPHC) in August 2005 as a limited liability company to supervise the NIPPs. The encomiums this development enjoyed at inception did not last due to political interruption following a change in government administration in 2007. It was however reawakened two years after and by 2010, contracts were awarded for the execution of 10 medium-sized gas powered generation stations in some states.These plants which are now at various stages of completion include, 1) Geregu phase II in Kogi State which is expected to generate 434 megawatts (MW) electricity; 2) the 513mw Omotosho II plant in Ondo State; 3) Olorunsogo II in Ogun State with 754mw; 4) Ihovbor (Benin) plant with 451mw in Edo State; 5) the Sapele II 508mw in Delta State. 6) Omoku II with 265mw in Rivers State, 7) the 1,131mw Alaoji power plant in Abia State, Calabar 634mw in Cross River, 9) Gbarain 254mw in Bayelsa, 10) Egbema plant in Imo State with 381mw expectation. Although one out of the 10 plants was commissioned last Thursday, the final completion stage is slated shortly before the provisional take over by private investors in June 2014. With the commissioning, Geregu phase II became the first of the 10 projects to be completed under the National Integrated power Projects (NIPP) initiative, despite being the last project that was contracted. Managing Director of NDPHC, Mr James Abiodun Olotu, said contract for Geregu plant was awarded in April 2010 to Siemens Limited consisting three Siemens SGTS-200E gas turbines operating in a simple-cycle mode and with a designed combined site output rating of 434MW. The plant is designed to use the route from the switchyard of the already privatized (Amperion power) 414mw Geregu I route to Benin substation. Geregu II had however acquired an additional route of 330/132kv substations in Lokoja and Gwagwalada with new transmission lines to connect Abuja. Mr Olotu further disclosed that the Omotosho power plant would also be ready for commissioning soon. At the ceremony, President Goodluck Jonathan commended NDPHC’s efforts in handling Geregu II project despite apparent challenges. He reassured Nigerians of a fast coming era of adequate power supply. He said: “This is part of the great effort of this administration to provide regular electricity to the teeming population of our great country, Nigeria. With the commissioning of other NIPP power plants, we should have close to 5000mw in our generation capacity.” The NIPPs are not the only interventions in enhancing the nation’s power sector. There are pockets of projects like the recently awarded and ongoing 700mw Zungeru hydroelectric project in Niger State as well as a planned Mambilla hydropower in Taraba State. Other efforts at generating power are in place from Independent power Producers (IPPs), for instance, Geometric power plant in Abia State owned by a former minister of power, Prof. Barth Nnaji. Challenges at hand It may be justified that a lot is being done to salvage the nation’s epileptic power supply, the number of these generation plants when completed should help us to get it right this time. But one may ask if low electricity generation capacity has been the only bane to stable power supply in Nigeria. Proper investigations and survey into power generation, transmission and distribution would reveal quite more than fathomed as there are other posers such as transmission system failures, low and poor personnel, pipeline vandalism and inadequate gas infrastructure. System failures have accounted for several megawatts loss often times paralyzing business activities in hubs and city centres across the nation. Despite occasional upgrades of transmission infrastructures, incessant cases of system failure keep rising thereby raising concern that the transmission network is either being sabotaged by unseen forces or is too weak to withstand any additional capacity. There is hardly any parallel effort to rehabilitate aging transmission facilities of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) with a lopsided attention given to generation and perhaps, distribution. President Jonathan while unveiling the power roadmap in August 2010 clearly noted that the transmission network was so weak that, “even with the completion of the extant PHCN and NIPP transmission projects, for which funds have already been provided, the gap between generation capacity and the capacity of the transmission grid is expected to widen considerably over the next three years.” He had also stated a 30% increase in evacuation capacity of 330Kv transmission network to move it from the then 4,500mw capacity. The only visible outcome of that was the added Geregu – Abuja transmission network, yet to be explored. http://sweetcrudereports.com/2013/10/08/will-nigerias-initiatives-on-electricity-work/
This sentence:
"Nigeria produces more electricity than South Africa"
Kwaaaaaaks!
Henry, please stop my man. You're hurting my ribs.
If I stood up and recited this sentence in a full hall, I'd get sooo much applause and laughs. I Wanna respect you in the morning, brother. Stop.
Henry120: There is something really wrong with you.
The Federal government of Nigeria produces 15,000 megawatts of power.
Big manufacturing companies (cement, car, beverages, oil companies, car companies, heavy duty companies, ship building companies, private refineries, et al) produce an additional over 15,000 megawatts of power.
Individual citizens produce between 12- 16,000 megawatts of power.
16,000 15,000 15,000 = 46,000 megawatts.
Nigeria's government's electricity distribution infrastructure can only carry 5,000 megawatts of power. The government's distribution is 4,600 megawatts.
We are talking about power generated in Nigeria. In the true sense, Nigeria generates more power than South-Africa.
Henry120: Nigeria Produces more electricity than South-Africa. This is a fact.
It isn't my problem, you're too dull to assimilate this.
Dude, can I please laugh at you.
What rubbish.
Ok, now that this is out of the way:
"Fresh on the heels of the REI4P success, South Africa has also gained a stronger position on the international energy scene. The REI4P has propelled the country as a top three investment destination worldwide for renewables, and South Africa has therefore rapidly grown into a key energy partner."
GreenandGold: Justifying cowardness.... Isreal, Germany and all the countries you counted don't have insurgents running sharia law in their territories.
