Good mate. Nigeria's problem is not only this mammoth because we have a lazy set of leaders; Lazy intellectually and physically, but because we have a hardened base of the populace who are ready to swallow every rubbish that they spew. I am not ready for that, and when I see a youth thinking naively when he should be innovative, I try as hard as I can to reset his cerebrum to international default. We are this backward for such small things. They should keep selling to Niger and Benin, while leaving our power narratives on 4500mw year in year out like a finely oiled yoyo we never make improvements of this.
Good mate. The Mortician!!!

1 billion likes, sir. What a way to send a decomposing corpse to his waiting coffin.

Sorry for the language. But I cut ignoramus hard.

And yet you are the realjoker? Didnt even see your moniker all the while.
Keep the jokes up. they arent just funny.

realjoker:


I have encountered you several times and I can boldly tell that You are planted to keep people wasting their precious time here on this forum

At the Bolded. keep fooling yourself, because in Benin republic where it peak power demands is projected to be around 1,200MW and 36% of people living in its urban areas and 3% in its rural areas having access to electricity in which 2-3 urban settlement are guaranteed steady power supply while others are not doesn't means they enjoy better electricity than us where over 40% of people living in rural areas and 100% of people living in urban areas have access to electricity and both rural and urban areas are guaranteed of fair share of the available generated power.

I will see you someday. Na one full crate of your brand I go buy you. It will be frosty chilled bro. Trust me.

nwamehn:


U almost killed me with laugh with that last sentence. But funny enough, that's exactly what Nigeria is doing. Keeping her children hungry and selling her food to her neighbour because she is afraid of being slapped. Pathetic!
Instead of our leaders since the 60's that Kainji dam was built, to find other solutions to hydroelectric power to avert whatever danger Niger dams would pose like the solutions u pointed out just now, they prefer to tell us stories of how they pay Niger not to build dam. Which sort of dumb leaders has Nigeria been blessed with since all these years?

But boss, can u change that wine to beer? I think I prefer beer to wine.

OK, maybe that's why I needed u to explain further as u have just done. Because I know that if Nigeria allows Niger build their own dam, it won't stop kainji from functioning even though they ar higher up, it might reduce the current as u said which they can still find a way to handle technologically.
There ar so many dams built along river Nile from Egypt which is higher up down to even Sudan like the Dilta dam, Zifta dam, Aswan dam, Jebel Aulia Dam, etc. There ar ones built along White Nile, a tributary of Nile in as far as Uganda eg the Owen Falls Dam. They have kept on building more but these dams haven't stopped functioning because of the other.
Even right here in Nigeria, Jebba dam was built after Kainji dam, along same river Niger in same Niger state but Jebba hasn't stopped functioning till now.
In Asia, they find ways to build more than one dam along the same river so as to even generate more electricity.
It's a matter of Nigeria waking up to explore new technologies because we can't continue paying these people forever. Since 2008, about three extra dams have been recommended by the Niger River Basin Authority, with one in Mali, and one in Niger. Shall we keep on paying money to suppress all these, for how long?
Do u know that Niger is currently on the project of Kandadji dam which is being funded by the World Bank, Saudi Arabia and OPEC and they intend to complete this project within two to three years from now? What would we do by then? What would our government then tell us? That we still pay Niger and Benin whereas they have built their own dams?
Come to think of it, if we can't violate the agreement and that we need to still be paying Niger not to build their own dams as Fashola said, why would Niger be building that Kandadji dam?
We just seem to be comfortable with the status quo without applying the brains of the numerous well-grounded civil engineers that abound in the country to find another way around it. Science and engineering keep on evolving, what obtained in 1960 might not be what would obtain in 2017. Even at that, the technical know-how applied by the builders of Jebba dam in the 80's that made it still sustained up till now in spite of Kainji being higher up would still be enough.
So, our government had better woken up Sir.
Above is what another Nigerian, your age probably thought of.

We have been selling power to this countries before you and your father were born so why blame Fashola? Your hero came in met it like this and left it like this.
Your clueless hero and beloved pdp spent $16 billion on power within sixsteen years and end up giving us darkness. Your glorified failure Nnaji came in and hand us this catastrophic failure called DisCos and Gencos in the guise of privatization.


Let me educate you a little bit.
We are currently generating an average of 3500-3800MW with an install capacity of 11,100MW and peak demand forecasted to be 19,000MW and off peak demands forecasted to be 14,000MW. Here is a TCN official link [url]http://nsong.org/DownloadHandler.ashx?FileName=DailyOperationalRpt%2012-07-2017.pdf[/url]

I owe you a big bottle of wine whenever I get to meet you in this life. I am the first person to comment on this thread and I have spent all day telling the idiotts quoting me in defense of Fashola that he has failed just like the ministers before him.
If we keep thinking small (4000mw year in year out) then we will keep bowing to Niger and Benin Republic.
We can artificially create dams by channeling whatever is left when King Niger dams the Niger at their end. This could be done by opening canals to store water around the higher plains within Nigeria around argungu, Birni Kebbi and Zuru, which can then be pumped at high speed to maintain the current Dam flow at Kainji assuming we are perpetually stuck with Kainji.

It is not rocket science and who says we can not begin to seek alternative sources now? I will never accept that my child will go hungry while I sell even 1 percent of my food to a neighbour in the name of having guarantee that he won't slap me. Never!

I am a card carrying member of the APC, I have contested and won an election under the party and currently on an appointment with the Party.
It is an alter ego account kid.
Since you have reduced your narratives to aspersions, let me leave you now son. I have important issues to address.
And yes, Fashola has failed and so have the Ministers of power who have come before him including Barth Nnaji, Agagu and their predecessors.
Take a chill pill now. And the next time the light goes off, remember someone in Benin Republic has better supply.

Fundamentally, we are not on the same page yet. You have chosen to continue supporting sale of generated electricity for 'guarantee' that the natural flow of the Niger wont be tampered with. I insist, it is unwise of any Government Minister, Fashola inclusive to continue the practice since we barely have enough to consume as you are aware of. I have done a quick check to point to you that indeed it is possible to artificially create dams which is practicable in Nigeria. Guess what, it was the first website I viewed when I checked for sustainable artificial dams globally. Your guess is as good as mine, should I decide to put in a week.
I need not glorify you with a plan for the Nigeria power situation and because you are as gullible as you are, you believe it is a two year plan. Since 1968 we have been on this agreement. That's long enough for a holistic plan to have been developed and implemented. The Swiss and Chinese are not super humans, they only plan long term and execute. They do not justify mediocrity.
Since you are not 5, the minister is not 5, take your adulthood pettiness + 2500MW perennial generation of power and go to bed with it.
I am not tied with you are your minister.
Like I said to someone else, Kainji Dam cost less than 300m USD in the 60s to build. to date, more than a billion has been returned from switzerland as Abacha loot. Minister Fashola has failed and yet we massage their bluntness as though we are cursed geographically? Take the countries East of Nigeria without the Niger River that have better supply into consideration, then you'd see where your problems lie.
Again, I am working my way out of Nigeria. You should too, lest you kids will continue this argument with their cousins many many years from today and will still find a right justification for it.

What was I expecting from a Lawyer as Power Minister? Whatever Bullcrap he is given, he adds a little and peddles to y'all.

Solomon Wisely.

dane15:


Simple challenge you can't take, yet you are abusing yourself. I can clearly see that if you are made the Minister of Power you will fail woefully.

I challenged you to come up with a plan if you were the Minister of Power to change Nigeria in 2 years and you came up with some balderdash from the internet that a 5 year old child can do better than. If that's all you can come up with then Nigeria is better without you.

Nairaland should be for matured minds. It should be a place for people that think objectively and constructively and not for every Tom, Dick and Harry who has access to cheap data.

As an erudite you should not seek to turn every intellectual discussion to an opportunity to abuse yourself.
Nigerians are not bereft of ideas, implementation is the issue as you can see from APC's 2015 campaign.

The challenge still remains. What will you do differently from Fashola?

You can choose to abuse yourself again like a toddler to which I will not dignify you with a reply or come to the table like an erudite I assume you are.

You do not seem to get this do you? Oya na, stay with Fashola, let him keep supplying electricity to Togo and Benin since 1968. Enjoy the 2000+ MW you have now which is less than a tenth of SAs energy output. Clap for Fashola and bring the whole internet to back it up. Since you didnt read my quoted article enough, Id tell you to see the enormity of work that people who are ready are doing. We have plateaus and mountains in northern Nigeria that can conveniently accommodate elevated water storage. We can generate enough alternative energy sources to power the turbines that would drive water to power our dams. It is not even nearly as audacious as Fashola or the types of mediocres backed by you softly educated kinds wanna make us believe. Elon Musk isnt a ghost.
Oga no quote me again. I am on my way out of Nigeria. You can die in this darkness and your dead body will still be praising Fashola, Talon and
Issofou.
Bye

dane15:


Oga Sir, everyone can play football with their mouth but playing on the pitch is a different ball game.

You can read this: http://sahelstandard.com/index.php/2015/05/04/war-looms-between-nigeria-niger-over-river-niger/.

You will understand that France has been pushing the aforementioned countries to dam the River Niger for sometime.

Are you aware that Kainji dam contributes about 700MW out of our current 2,929 MW? That is 24% of our power generation.
Please read this to verify : http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/01/electricity-nigerians-darkness-kainji-genco-boss/

Can you begin to see the effect of allowing Togo and Benin republic to reduce the flow of River Niger?

I also noticed how you have drifted from your initial argument to prove that Fashola is a failure. That is a story for another day.

Consider that as far back as when Jonathan was in power, 95 million Nigerians did not have access to regular electricity. Please read: http://www.businessinsider.com/95-million-nigerians-are-living-without-electricity-and-something-needs-to-change-2016-7?IR=T

The issue in Nigeria is that people just talk and talk and criticize destructively instead of objectively.

I hereby present the budget for Power in 2015-2017 to you. At least for you to criticize someone, you are saying you can do better.

2017-http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/12/budget-2017-power-gets-n69-96bn/

Present a REASONABLE workable plan in 2 YEARS to transform Nigeria from its state in 2015 to where it can have 24 hours uninterrupted power supply.

And please let us not talk about that your link (https://qz.com/706832/new-turbines-have-upgraded-a-hydroelectric-dam-in-the-swiss-alps-to-a-nuke-sized-battery). I read through the link and realized that because you were just looking for something to back up your position on the internet, you did not even bother to read through. Read this extract from your link carefully, "Water is pumped uphill when electricity is cheap and plentiful, and runs downhill, spinning turbines and generating electricity, when needed".
Here is the catch, we don't even have electricity so your idea is Dead on Arrival.

The issue in Nigeria is that everyone wants to talk and abuse and criticize destructively.

Please never criticize if you do not have a better idea. Just glue your lips.

Yes. Someday I will. I thank you for the inspiration. For you, you'd rather subsist on 1000mw, share with Lords Benin and Niger for life, rather than aggressively develop your generation and distribution exclusive of outside influence. You cant stand darkness for 6 months for something more durable. And when eventually these smaller countries decide to Dam the Niger, you will rather go on your knees to beg them.
I have lived in Benin a while, and I weep when I see what they enjoy!

Kay17:


The idea is that Nigeria as well as those countries desire electricity for industrialization. So electricity is a precondition for greater development. Now with that in mind, why would everyone settle for less. Besides the electricity is not exported in containers stacked at the port. So those countries need a relatively close source either from their immediate neighbors or create a long-lasting solution like a dam.

Now if you think Kainiji Dam has outlived its usefulness then you wouldn't mind the river dammed but if you lose the 1000MW Kainiji offers Nigeria then you would have more darkness in Nigeria.

Thankfully you are not the minister

Hahahahah, at last you will now know me. I am currently a Secretary to a Local Government having been elected a councillor on the books of the APC. And yes, I am 32 Years old. Next time you want youths in leadership ask me. Yes this is an alter account!

It is a share waste of my time to continue to engage you in needless explanation to assuage your ignorace. In fact it is no brainer why some of you yoots are not in leadership, will either not make it to leadership or the little stride you make in leadership you will loose it fast.

Why the hell do you all think its a very very smart idea to sell electricity to these countries as a 'guarantee'? It is way cheaper for them to buy generated electricity than building their dams, so we already have an upper hand. It is already a stress on our National output since we never even have enough to sustain 18 hours nonstop.

Kainji Dam was completed in the 60s with capacity to provide less than 1500mw of electricity, what efforts have we made since then to improve our power generation capacity? for the countries in the world that have stable electricity without the 'pressure' of river Niger how exactly have they done it?

And yes, do not let no one fool you. There are artificial technologies. google pumped water storage and what the swiss have done. Also, try and study the artificial dams of the world and see what Nigeria can do once and for all. Now Kainji Dam was built with less than 300m USD, Switzerland has returned close to a billion USD of stolen funds to Nigeria.

I wont even bother going into details of exactly how Nigeria can begin to utilize whatever she has of the Niger River when Lords Benin and Niger decide to 'cut off' their sections of the Niger River. You know why? Cos Nigerians are gullible, they have accepted mediocrity and can kill to justify it.

The river Niger flows through several countries and the waters that reach us originate from several countries. Before the dam was established,an agreement was signed with all these countries that they wont establish their dams upstream,so as to ensure sustainable water levels for Kainji. Part of the agreement includes selling electricity to them.

chillykelly86:


You obviously don't understand how a dam runs and what keeps it running and you don't even know that you don't know. Humility pays a lot. Humble yourself and learn.
Dams need millions of liters water to collect in them in order to generate sufficient pressure to keep the turbines rolling at optimum capacity. Already, the impact of insufficient water supply to Kainji is felt during the dry season.
If any of the countries through which the Niger River runs before hitting Nigeria, decides to channel some substantial volume of the Niger River away (say for irrigation purposes), then you'll be left with a worthless Kainji Hydroelectric "Power" Station. The Power comes from the water, that's why its called "Hydro"electric. So without the water, the station is powerless.

Doughnut brain don't you know the River Niger flows through Republic of Niger and if they were to build their own dam it will drop the water level coming to Kainji dam and with the low water level, kainji dam in Nigeria would not be able to generate electricity. I can see you must have gone to a very poor standard primary and secondary school because these is elementary social science and geography.

Nigerians are drying their canes, y'all think you are ghosts and gliding shey? your flogging day is around the corner.

Young man, you and Fashola make zero sense at all. If we pay for the infrastructure, we could as well pay for the maintenance of the Dam. You seem to think these things need rocket science to do. Whatever the togolese and benenoise have done to help channel water out of the dam or to keep it flowing, we have the capacity to do a 100 times over, so we can enjoy out total output, Instead of selling our generated output to them. It is not as if we are over serviced. simple logic, we sell to make money whereas we are starved.
If I need to tell Fashola or any government official what to do to make things work, then they do not deserve to be in government. if you choose to believe their craap then you are not ready for development.
Again, I am disappointed in Fashola. I can give him a full dossier of alternatives. But then, he is the minister, I am only a citizen.

Ehiscotch:
Nigeria spends on infrastructural maintenance and rehabilitation. They still have to pay to keep the damn dam running. Don't you pay for the power you consume?

Even Unesco kpa kpa know the truth.

Propaganda

Ewoh, this style is called 'hanging on the wall' na waaa ooo, this kain muscle when them for take farm cassava nai them take life woman! I greet you Mr. Akpobi!

So God is punishing US with Donald Trump? and punishing UK with Theresa May? why is he not punishing France too? my point is, the Government of God is not the government of man. He cannot help you do what you can do for yourself. Your president, your business, leave God out of it.

psucc:
No sir. I disagree.

God decided to punish Nigerians this time because many promoted Buhari and started worshiping him. Thus their only hope for development, progress and even existence hung on him. Having won the election, God decided to keep wisdom away from Buhari, thus he became 'mad'.

Until we learn to see that man is mortal and fallible, we will continue to repeat same mistake over and over again.

Eya, so you took the bait?
If actually they are helping Nigeria through ensuring our dams do not overflow, how come they still have to pay for our electricity?
Basic rule of life, do not give what you do not have!
Since I am your father's mate, it is safe to say, your father, all his brothers are stupid. You? you just dont exist.

Ehiscotch:

I can see you are dam' stupid [pun intended].
Kanji dam generates a good percentage of our electricity. Stop selling to them and you've got no electricity at all.
Sanction who? On top their own river?

The one behind fine. the one in front...if them package am now, e go b like scubia fish.

Saraki, Ekweremadu, Bello, Dino, all of you are mad.

Invariably, the senate is telling us all, that only the senate can recall a senator, not his constituents who elected him? yet that albino will be disturbing me everyday claiming he just wants to make sense

It is amazing that only one family will have this much clowns! Genes are strong sha. I just hope Imade breaks out. Davido is busy sharing bananas, B-red cant even use autotune, now their father is wobbling like worm. na wa.

Chei, in other words, even if he sells Ekiti and Osun States to pay, he will still be owing $38,000USD. Afonjas, come and help your brother ooo.

All of you are just confused people. If you share the confusion in Nigeria into 1 million places and gave one portion to the Americans, they will all still be confused!

Kuku cancel secondary school education and rest.

Bangalee...Its not a lie...biko google dbanj!

But sha all of us know say na stunt. Plus you, your coat and fake accent, una no reach 100m naira.

Don Jazzy is still da boss.

Wanna argue? argue with Lai Mohamed

Fashola we trusted you, now you are spewing this nonsense? Which dam? ehn? stop selling to them, when they overflow the dam, sanction them. sell something else not what you do not have in abundance.
