With that huge amount of money, it's either Canada, USA or Australia....

bankylan:
Nigeria does not need 200,000MW......Population is not the main factor, though it is a variable, load demand is what determines the required MW to be dispatched. Today we have installed capacity of 13,000 MW and we can only wheel about 6,000 MW. The implication is that we are making CAPACITY PAYMENTS to Gencos as eshrined in the PPAs we signed with them because we can't make use of their full capacity which to them is huge financial investments tied down. People who don't know about the power industry talk about population as a determinant of the needed megawatt, but power engineers and those who are real professionals in the industry don't think this way. What is our load demand as a nation? We just need like 25,000MW now and we will be okay as we don't really have many heavy duty industries besides the fact that our wheeling and distribution capacity can't even cope with the 6000 MW we hover around now.

Im busy at the moment so cant dice deep, you are wrong, the west use the numbers of home to determine its energy needs!so the population plays a vital point in determining the required energy needs.

Mistakemaker:
What exactly is stopping Nigeria from having 24/7 electricity and making money form it as well as stabilising the economy?

Let's hear people's thoughts

short sightedness

now that the local LG has gotten involved and come to know that the father is incapable of the challenges the boy poses due to his condition now has taken over the overall wellbeing of the child, cos if not they are worse than the father who did what he could, Loads of us shouting abuses at the father might do worse.

Sorry to disappoint you I guess you have not been in Nigeria recently. Subsidy was paid oh...NNPC reported another under recovery payment. So that's not the reason for the price increase �

that guy you quoted are one of the reasons we are in a mess like this, they just believe anything shoved to them, where he got the *subsidy removal* frm I dnt know

d4guy:
Nigerians are gullible sha. You were shouting on top of your voice for subsidy removal, now it's gone. Market forces is in play, yet you are still complaining. FFK understands the game and listening Nigerians are just pawns in his game.

my friend go and sit down, where did you get the *SUbsidy is gone idea from*?? we are still heavily subsidised and at this point, I fear to see when the true bill will come out since its done hush in house by NNPC

Y DO U DOUBT?


LET ME SAY IT AGAIN, ALL OF THEM WILL LAND THERE.

OK

Efewestern:
Does it makes any economic sense to kill all our industries because we can import cheaper products from China? what have we learnt from grounding all our refineries because of cheaper importation?

Diffinitely, should we have our steel plants back, steel importation will be banned or heavy import duty placed on the importation of steel.

We are crying of high rates of unemployment, the best way to help reduce this is heavy industrialization, don't not care if the products produced in Nigeria are a bit expensive, provided qualities are improved.

Remember when Nigeria was still importing cement? everyone thought producing locally wouldn't make any sense because importation was far cheaper, today we have several indigenous factories doing very well with thousands of Nigerians employed.

well said at the bolded, they seem to forget, all they want is container and container

Sad. Another one who has chosen to flee instead of fight.
Another Ivy league educated scholar who could change Nigeria for the better has decided to switch sides.
This is very sad, she will be remembered as a loser
She gave up because she lacks foresight

Me and my household will never flee or beg the white man for visa, greencard or citizenship. We will continue to fight and do all we can for the betterment of this country.

1st, not everyone abroad is white
it says Dual citizenship, she never dished the green passport
Being a citizen of the US is a smart move, check very well this time open your eyes 90% of your todays politicians in 9ja are all citizens of either the Uk or the US or one EU or American country north or south.
last but not the list, HOW CAN YOU CALL A PERSON FIGHTING TO GET TO ONE OF THE TOP JOB IN THE WORLD A LOSER AND SEEN AS GIVING UP??

WAT IS PHC?


WE ARE TALKING THE EASTERN REGION, U ARE TALKING PHC.


THE EASTERN REGION HAS A HEARTLAND.


HEARTLAND ARE NEVER ON THE OUTSKIRTS LIKE PHC.


THE MOTHER OF ALL AIRPORTS HAVE BEEN BUILT IN THE EASTERN HEARTLAND.


ALL OTHER PERIPHERAL AIRPORTS WILL SUPPORT IT.

we will see howmany international Airlines that would subscribe to landing there

hammer8:
DAT IS THE MOTHER OF ALL AIRPORTS IN THE EASTERN REGION.

[s]
I BELIEVE YOU ARE INTELIGENT ENOUGH TO FIGURE THE REST OUT.


BASICALLY ONE TINY AIRPORT IN PHC IS NOT ENOUGH.


EVEN THE ANAMBRA ONE IS NOT ENOUGH BY ITSELF, ENUGU INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT HAS TO BE COMPLETED TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD.


I STIL INSIST U FIGURE OUT HOW IT WILL ALL WORK, RATHER THAN ME TELLING U AND THE WHOLE WORLD, U ARE INTELIGENT ENOUGH[/s].

What do you mean one tiny Airport? have you used it B4?typing in capital letters makes your unintelligent post more unintelligent? as things stand,PHC has only managed to attract just three International flight, it needs more.

Igbochief001:
no we don't need to mine our ore that's my point

Nigeria is a funny country where u are not allowed to import raw materials but are allowed to import finished products

all steel bar imports ban steel finished goods ...it's simple

I have spoken to a good friend of mine at work who is more into them metal works and he has given me some verifiable contents
the highest deposit of iron ore is in Australia followed by Brasil, then Russia before china. China is nowhere near half of Australia. as Australia has verified 23 Million metric tones of pure iron in its crude deposits of 48 million metric tones

darfay:
The Chinese have actually spoilt the steel buiz. We never made hay while the sun was up

you are talking in the context of export how about a consumer-based market ie extract, refine for our local economy with he sole purpose of being self-sufficient and while you are digesting my post bear in mind the extraction, refining and exploration of ore has nothing to do with FG

Igbochief001:
no we don't need to mine our ore that's my point

Nigeria is a funny country where u are not allowed to import raw materials but are allowed to import finished products

all steel bar imports ban steel finished goods ...it's simple

Modernization began with the bronze age and this had to do with mining, Mining gives us an edge to be competitive and innovative...Like someone already said up there no modern society started without FE, having it raw would be an added advantage, Try also to see mining as a private venture, nothing to do with the FG. Cos from all indication you are seeing mining as the sole responsibility of the govt hence you are advocating for banning.

Igbochief001:
Bros all our iron ore reserve is around 3 billion tones ...infact lets say the one we are yet to know add all is 10 billion tons ...that's nothing

china produce close to 1 billion tons a year ...do u now see we are not comparatively advantaged ?

u think if we where foreign companies won't come and invest

even as we are disadvantaged in crude oil production companies still came because they can sale at the international market and make profit

can u produce a ton of Steel in Nigeria for less than $500 ? can u ? let's be realistic

being a mechanical engineer have nothing to do with this ....Nigeria has no real comparative advantage in solid minerals

you are still missing the point, there is nothing wrong in the importation, however, we import finished products, not raw materials, However, what myself and someone else is saying is simple, we need to be able to extract our own Ore to satisfy our local demand. We can then A Refine the ore or B export it.
being a Mechanical Engineer has loads to do with it cos you are mainly working with some kinda metal.so knowing its use helps

Igbochief001:
this the level u decided to drop to ...I'm done ..have fun

yeah but it is true,U can check yourself, unless you are using an alternate Monika!

Igbochief001:
we have weak iron deposit in Nigeria with low average concentration

that's fairly average ..but we lack the technology ....so mining steel is no no for now till we develop the tech

European steels are dead american steel is dead china rules the steel world ....the world had to beg china to reduce production

What kind of Engineer are you?
I am a mechanical Engineer who graduated far back when we had no internet, you are 27 so should be more robust cos you are just a few years ago,I gave brief parameters of where we had a deposit of ores in Nigeria, you yourself said it that Kogi was teh centre which we agreed on. There are more than 10 states with iron ore deposits in Nigeria and we have known this for more than 50 years, with new exploration who knows what we might find in the Southwest since Ekity.ogun and Kwara is rocky regions too.I believe with quick and more exploration we might have more deposit than the UK

darfay:
I wonder why he still dey argue....



I enjoyed both your back and forth argument especially as no name calling was involved which is unlikely of nairaland

it would be nice, encouraging and refreshing to get ur own view on this!

rationalhuman:
ArcelorMittal S.A. is still The Biggest producer of Steel on this planet.

Those countries like US, Australia, Canada, India, Japan their major focus is in Special Alloys and Compound steels.
Also getting an approval for mining is nightmare in these countries, while in China only CPC decides.

He won't know anything about all that.

Igbochief001:
oga mechanization is nothing when u don't have the right seeds

my view is myopic because I'm in Nigeria and u are abroad ? lmao now who's myopic ...I'm and engr , have a masters in business management ....been investing since my University ...vast reader

u think mechanization is the reason our farms yield 2 ton while Thailand yield 10 ? ....lol ..Bros seeds business is a big business we are using grains from 100 years ago ...and now u can just import seeds and use because seeds now are cultured to specific environment

seeds for Anambra should not be same seeds for Benue or Kogi or niger ...well what do I know

There goes the problem of an average youth in 9ja you lot boast too much and don't do jack shyte, I have gone fro all 50 of ur post nothing backs what you just said, you only made one topic so far and it's about bashing the Yoruba people, all of your views is about Igbo v Yoruba, Nothing at all remotely connects you to the claimed utterance you said up there you are an Engr and we can't find you on the science or Auto section here, an Engineer who decided to do masters i n BAM,young man abeg go back to your shop!

MiddleDimension:
when Nigeria's economy becomes better than what it is, there will be more business people flying into and out of Lagos from all around the world

That's a diff thing altogether, I'm talking of Nigerians flying into 9ja not foreigners.As we speak I'm one of the few people who stopped using Los and us PHC for the past 5 yrs.and there are loads of people doing same, the flight is always full even to ABJ as Lufthansa and Air France do a stop there b4 PHC

Igbochief001:
I'm 27 ...have invested in rice farm ...but we are disadvantaged ...untill we can develop good seeds imported rice go still flood market

I have other successful business I run ..so age is nothing

Well @ 27 I have been hustling abroad for few years, while ur view is myopic mine is broad cos Im seeing from afar where people believe every and anything is possible once you put ur mind into it. I have a whole bunch of friends who have gone back to 9ja to re-invest after their quest for initial capita and I must say they ain't doing bad, there are loads on Naira, check the Auto and property sections you will see them,
PS growing rice without mechanisation is just waste of time, U aint ready!this is where initial capital comes into play cos the 9ja I know, banks do not give no money people loans rather give loans to money people.

MiddleDimension:
no! traffic will only increase as Nigeria's economy improves

Im taking from 1st hand info, I was using the LOS airport for up to 15 years until PHC opened, why would i go to Lagos if my main destination is ie Delta, Bayelsa, PH , Anambra, cross river, Ebonyi and far east? with Lufthansa, U can fly straight to PHC from the USA, same as London and plenty other EU country, so if U chk it, if u ain't from the South West of niger Ondo state backwards, u got nothing to do in Lagos cos it would be long and silly.I'm not hating just being real!
