@Evan, governments are non-profit making organisation. Whatever money that they acquire is revenues and it has to be exhausted by delivering neccessary services to the people.However, the government of SA is also involved in business through State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) which comprises, -Eskom, PIC which bought Dangote shares, Telkom, SAA, Sasol, etc. Here is a complete list: http://www.gcis.gov.za/content/resourcecentre/contactdirectory/government-structures-and-parastatals
Yet the government does not see these institution as businesses rather an operating hand that helps it to augment expenditure in infrastructure and to deliver tertiary services which are not basic in nature.
As current the government is spending $80 billion for three years which was made available by the government and SOEs.

MikeCZAR:
You want me to educate you again Evarn?

patches689:
Money is available, if you are so concerned contact Nhlanhla Nene

mzilakazi:
Treasury chief. Our government has huge investments internally.
That info is outdated we now make $105 billion and we have a major private sector which also help allocate funds to build infrastructure.

I should ask you first if you have enough education to understand a simple news article.

patches689:
we are rolling in it

overhypedsteve:
let us all hope it is the first. Cus the second is dangerous although his refusal to share intelligence with other members of the task force is also a big problem. A problem that may have led to the capture of a FOB

MikeCZAR:
Nigeria desperately needs help or support if i can put it that way.
Your military is totally ineffective against BH.

mzilakazi:
We have the money chief. The nuclear power station is nothing.

mzilakazi:
We have the money chief.

mzilakazi:
@Evarn-SA is not Nigeria, it has money.
Check here that we have about over $80 billion to spend on infrastructure for just three years. This money was made available by treasury as confirmed by the minister of finance.

idris deby of chad is a joker. They asked him to commit troops to a multinational standby force he withdrew the troops and left a vulnerable FOB to fall in the hands of BH. Since he doesn't want a nigerian commander to boss his boys in the MTF then let him go and crew up with weak Cameroon. After all they are the same francophone countries. I know this francophone countries are busy preparing the stage for a French controlled lake chad basin.

Msauza:
Zuma is serving his last term and will never be the president again. In four years he will be gone for good.

jpphilips:
Ordinary chad whose soldiers cannot afford to buy bullet proof vests?
Oh! my Nigeria

Msauza:
You wish!!

agaugust:
South Africa has fuel shortage

Chief!!! That's a long term project 2030.

A power grid is as rare as unicorns in Nigeria. Which explains why almost all of you have generators. Very simple.

Msauza:
From tax payers money. We have annual budget worth $110 billion and will it be hard to set aside $ 10 billion every year for the next ten years only for this project?

Msauza:
SA electricity has been up and running for ages even before my grandfather was born.
My father and his family when they first arrived in SA, electricity was still a dream in Nigeria and even to date it still a dream.

Msauza:
Still that will take you ages. It will not happen in your life time.

patches689:
wat?

A power plant is a coal mine?

#NigerianBrains

Msauza:
How will that project be a white elephant? SA is still in need of more power.

Msauza:
SA electricity is still up and running for the whole day.

patches689:
And yet, factually speaking, Nigeria is the 16th most failed state on earth

patches689:
Nope, Medupi and Kusile

The two biggest coal powered stations in the world.

saengine:
Distribution of electricity to who? The president and his friends. Everyone else must buy generators

agaugust:
Oga mi, today 2015 the whole of South Africa is load shedding electricity inside darkness.I decided to go question one Southie immigrant from Johannesburg yesterday, he tells tales of woe, South Africa is a shiit hole, only those who live there will easily know. These nairaland Southies have been deceiving us for years !
