Yes..
Because you dont generate what is not being consumed.

Else the system will collapse due to over voltage or over frequency

The MD of TCN said here that "the nation currently has stranded load generation of about 2,000MW".

https://guardian.ng/business-services/tcn-secures-2billion-to-expand-capacity-to-20000mw/

What does he mean by that?

anyaekekehinde:
Yes and so??
I can give you more details.
The Line is called Sakate 330KV line, on about 202MW from Ikeja West RTC.
So because Nigeria supplies Togo/Benin light, does it mean we have huge Transmission capacity??7

Because we don't have transmission capacity does not mean the generation stated was a lie.

Rick9:
Engineers in the house, I have this question,
How exactly is this MegaWatts generated, and why can't Nigeria generate up to 20,000MW ?

Through dams (hydro), thermal plants (steam) and Gas plants (gas).

To get 20,000MW requires investment, aka money.

Jonathan's era - they saw the money for investing in power as 'yam', a gorilla was in power and he allowed goats to eat yam.

Buhari's era - drop in oil prices meant recession. Goats had also emptied the reserves.

Nigeria is at 12,000MW installed capacity and generates between 4,000MW to 7,000MW.

So to be able to generate 20,000MW, lets say we would need at least 30,000MW installed capacity.

An increase of about 18,000MW from current installed capacity.

The cheapest cost of constructing 1MW comes to around $1m.

That means we would need $1m x 18,000MW investment in power infrastructure.

That is $18bn! Saraki, Ekweremandu, Melaye and co still have to chop money before we can find that. Jonathan don waste the money wey we get before.

anyaekekehinde:
Lies

You need massive and highly capital intensive infrastructure development in both Transmission and Distribution network to be able to handle 7000MW.
Transmission capacity as at last quarter hoveered around 5000MW
One thing about Electricity that people dont know is you cant store it.
As you Generate, there must be people downstream to consume
Power generated = Power demanded + losses.

So its a lie that 7000MW was generated, because where is the Transmission and Distrubtion Network to handle it

I hope you know Nigeria supplies power to Togo, Benin and Niger?

stanluiz:
Just like the way they will also remember you people for what you guys did to them in ile-ife.

Those were Hausas by the way, not Fulanis.

Secondly, they need to live in Lagos. They wouldn't want to be chased out of there.

gabe:
Nigeria's power generation capacity has been around 6000-7000MW for up to 2-3 years now. The only problem has been they are mostly gas turbines and some 'patriotic' nigerians have been blowing up pipelines that supply them, limiting output. The major problem now is that of transmission, because the old lines cannot absorb up to the 7000MW. That should be govt's focus, because they still control transmission. I'll suggest all state governors help to improve transmission installations in their states. Benue did it under Gov Suswan and today, makurdi and environs enjoy stable power of up to 15 hours+ daily. While I've not had light in owerri for 3 days!

Well Nigeria's power generating capacity is now 12,000MW.

The 7,000MW you are seeing is what is actually generated, not generating capacity.

Under the corrupt fool of Otuoke, the maximum generated was in the 4,000s. While generating capacity was around 6000-7000MW.

Orjralozie:
For your mind you think Igbo's will kill themselves like the northerners. You don't them too well. This is the time for us pray for God mercy on the land because so many innocent blood has been poured, and wasted..... If you are spiritual you will know that God can turn His back on us and you know the implications....... Wahala dey wahala is coming to this country. Sit there and laugh at people that are been killed... Hmmmm

I am not worried at all.

I can guess what would happen next.

- Some of the miscreant IPOB would come out now whining and continue with their chest-beating promising revenge.
- They would engage in one or two attacks.
- Nigerian Army would go in for Round 2 and more IPOB dead bodies (by the grace of God, no ordinary Ibo person go die)
- Then you would have a tribal riot of Igbos killing Hausa/Fulani in the SE and maybe Port-Harcourt
- But that would be a very bad idea, as Almajiri would swing into action in Kano, Kaduna, Minna, Jos, Bauchi, Zaria and many more Northern states, killing many innocent Ibos.
- There would be more killings of Ibos than Hausa/Fulani as Ibos are more scattered and more civil.
- Then sense would kick in as Elders put a stop to it.
- Then people would realise Nnamdi Kanu should be in jail, even though what he deserves is a mental health institution.
- Then everything would go back to semi-normal.

Bare in mind I said "semi-normal". Illiterate Fulanis never forgive or forget. For the next 20 years, the family members of these illiterates that were killed by Ibos would continue taking random revenge by raiding Igbo villages and slaughtering old, young, men, women, child and babies.

The police and authorities would try to stop it, but it is hard for a poorly equipped force to stop low-lives who are nomadic, illiterate, barbaric and have very little to live for in life bar cattle. They would only stop when they feel they have killed enough. That might take 20 years.

The result of IPOB threats, insults and chest-beating. Thank you, Mentally-ill Supreme Leader!

And still, there would be no Biafra!

Orjralozie:
Not a member but always listening to news both local and international. This is the time for us to go to our knees and start praying to God for His well to be done and not to be laughing at armless civilians killed in cold blood. The truth about the matter is that a fatal mistake has been done by our government... Instead of laughing at IPOB. Think about what this mistake could bring and the away out.... Believe me most of us laughing now may cry to death when this mob/group retaliate. Remember IPOB is all over the world. Hmmmmm people are not seeing what I an seeing. You can't force somebody to love you. If you do it by force then the result is always dangerous..... I think this people mean business.....

They are weak, senseless, toothless and helpless.

Watch their mentally ill "Supreme Leader" soon come out and say Israel is coming to defend them. They would send the Special Forces in to come and fight Nigerian Army.

Luckylife:
.
Karma must visit very each and every one of you that encourage this killings knowing fully well that soldiers must kill and intimidate civilians for asking for their fundamental rights as human even though with some wrong steps but human are not perfect but killing is never an option . The deaths are cause by your text in support of illigality.

Unfortunately, when human beings are boisterous and chest-beating, they tend to think they are perfect and others are weak and shiit.

When they decide not to shut up after months of loquaciousness and chest-beating, saying there would be no peace for anybody and they would burn the nation down, in Nigeria there is a simple, unique and cheap way that is dealt with.

We just saw it!

Odingo1:
They are innocent until proven guilty by court of law,Nigerian government is falling woefully on this,extra judicial killing is an international criminal offense of which Nigerian government led by Buhari is committing.
Genocide against any group of people should be condemned in all ramifications.

Okay!

Make dem explain that technicality to Baba God at the gates of heaven.

It is not only genocide, it is idioticide.

Truckpusher:
Just know that those that sacrifices their lives for a cause like this are the fuel that burns in the heart of their living brethren. No one wishes to die for nothing over nothing. Your Daura cow just made them a legitimate example for the movement to brainwash, influence and recruit more radical members at the expense of who exactly ? You think only them ? or including you and I . Think!!

What would be burning in the heart of many law-abiding and sensible Igbos across Nigeria who are working hard to make a decent living in a tough and unforgiving country is:

"Good riddance to these bunch of jobless idiots putting my life, my family's life and my livelihood at risk here in Kano/Jos/Ibadan/Abuja/Minna/Insert_as_you_see_fit by provoking, threatening and giving hate speeches against other tribes".

BENARI:
Am afraid Buhari may only have succeeded in creating what perhaps he intends to prevent.

If anyone thinks that there is any Igbo man or woman seeing this photos of the activities of the military in the southeast and still be indifferent, that person is living in fools paradise.

I hope they end this activities immediately otherwise, the military may have much more than ipob members to contend with.

This deployment is a mistake of which consequence we may be yet to really realize.

The military must be withdrawn now before it's too late.

They would be Igbo people saying "IPOB asked for it. Deal with the miscreants".

tossie101:
People have totaly lost it, see them rejoicing over kiliong of innocent people.. OMG

Innocent?

Anuofia!

When you spend months trying your best to be a complete nuisance, insulting everyone different from you, insulting those like you who do not agree with you as "fake/bastard igbos", telling those not with you that by force they would be part of you, spreading all kinds of hate speech, threatening fire and brimstone if you don't get what you asked for and following a deranged demagogue that has a mental illness, in short, after doing your best to be a hated hate group (all these while you are a weak, toothless, senseless and irrelevant group), don't expect sympathy and empathy when fire and brimstone is brought on your head.

IPOB are not innocent people! They asked for a fight and they got a whooping.

IPOB Warriors!

E be like say dem military training no work.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQuPGZVMq34

And I was thinking after this training, they would even destroy the US army before North Korea even gets the chance.

Chest-beating "Warriors" of the "Supreme Leader" Nnamdi Kanu.

Your own don end for this Earth while following, like mumu, a mentally ill man.

Bye!

NORSIYK:
God will surely punish buhari and his entire generation for causing this division in Nigeria through his hate speech and hate action

E no go better for you and Nnamdi Kanu.

Idiot, it was Buhari that was giving hate speeches and chest-beating?

alizma:
When a man who has little or know knowledge of how much his people depend on others decide to fight for them without consulting them, this is what follows.
I am neither an Hausa man nor an Igbo man but I have spent over a decade in the east and I have travel to at least 8 states in the North and I can tell you that 1 Hausa man in the East is to 40 Igbo men in the North.
that is why I keep asking; how many state of the north Nnamdi Kanu has been to?
Is so unfortunate that Kanu has chosen to kill a fly that perch on his scrotum in anger. it is stupidity to strike a beehive just because a bee stung you.

Kanu has mental health problems.

And he is surely going to get many Igbo people slaughtered inconsequentially with his provocations.

That is what you get when you let a belligerent mental patient represent you with stupid chest-beating.

Lajet:
Okezie Ikpeazu don't even mentioned those people that Nigeria Army killed. This is so sad that this man value his postion over his brothers soldiers killed

They were wasted.

They have wasted their lives for a mental patient for nothing!

Joblessness can kill.

voiceofreasonin:
change begins with HIM.

In your school, that is what they taught you about making investment decisions?

How many F9s did you pack in your WASSCE?

santicruz:
Please what do you mean by speaking stupidly?diamond bank give their staff target on activating mobile app, these staff go about activating mobile app for their customers with their own phone in order to meet target without the customers knowledge.cos the have your account informtion in the system.if the investigate well ,d will find out that that ctmer never requested for echannel txn

Okay. If that is truly the case, then you have a very strong point there and there is ground for lawsuits.

Sterope:
Why would you use ‘orchestrated' and ‘deny liability' if you know that they are not the fault to begin with.

I am sure the organisation can come up with lots of exceptional cases they have experienced. Besides, the banking industry is a sensitive one, the bank manager cannot dish out money because of ‘exceptional cases'. I am very certain that try feel really bad for what happened even though it is not their fault but you shouldn't go about writing as if it was their fault to begin with.

This hasn't ruined the bank for me because I know why.

'

No mind that one.

We have solved his own case.

santicruz:
Why did they activate mobile App for someone who can't use it, its possible the. Customer doesn't have a compatible phone

You supplied them with the information of which of their customers cannot use mobile apps and which ones have compatible phones?

Why do people like you speak so stupidly?

PepsiBoy:
DB can spin this around positively by paying the woman, even if they know they are not at fault. Such gesture will be applauded by the public, and win DB many customers. How much is N500k after all, to a bank that makes billions? They should put on their thinking cap.

So YOU plan to open an account with them asap and use their chargeable facilities if they gave her the money?

Olayinka777:
U are obviously not intelligent.

Very not intelligent!

And if you tell am, e go think say na insult.

Sterope:
They are not liable to begin with. I doubt if the manager is authorized to cushion the effect of her ignorance and also I think it is foolish to encourage banks to give money either in part of in whole. It is business not a charity and they have to do that for a very long lousy of people. It is an unfortunate case, they can only wish her the best.

Don't mind the drunk illiterate.

soberdrunk:
I knew the bank will come up with a very well orchestrated denial story and wont accept liability in any way, if Diamondbank is a responsible bank that cares about customers, the right thing to do is give mama at least half of the money while they investigate and try to recover the money. What if that money is the only hope for that old woman, do you expect her to die of hunger while they keep speaking big big grammar?

What stupidity!

If you are responsible why don't you organise in your family to give Mama the money.

A bank should share its shareholder funds to a 3rd party due to her own error?

Since when did banks become social welfare establishments?

And Nigerian youths would wonder why people say they are unemployable. Who go employ you when you reason like this?

TheShopKeeper:
It is quite ironic that back in 2012, Nnamdi Kanu was protesting against the atrocities of BK and keeping Nigeria as one:

Why has Nnamdi Kanu's stance changed between 2012 and 2015 as shown in this video:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=mlKqSJeHgRo

MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS!

scantee:
This is very wrong no matter their offence, I watched the video back this morning could u believe that 90% of those guys is dead this morning?

Buhari must pay for this, he would not remain president forever.

Where did you see and count the bodies?

Chest-beating of the mental patient saying he would flatten Nigeria with war if Nigeria does not bow to his demands.

By the end, even the interviewing presenter was controlling himself from bursting into uncontrollable laughter.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XI95DOvNb8Y

Now Nigeria is making his chest-beating followers swim in mud.

IPOB is looking to fight war in Nigeria?

They would burn Nigeria down?

Listen to him speak and if you cannot spot he has mental health problems, they you have the mental health problems too.

Anticabal:
All these Army gragra cannot quench the agitation. Many IPOB members are already trained and hardened for hard times like this. Kanu never said freedom is easy, he always preached 'that they will kill us but in the end we will triumph'.

Biafrans remain undettered. Zoogerians stay on your own and leave us alone. Is that too much to ask? What do you really want from a region you hate so much? Make me understand.

He is right about the first part of the highlighted.

The second part is a mere inspirational delusion.
