EreluRoz: How will a man be able to approach all angles with a small dick if his woman has big behind? No endowed lady prefers a small or average dick, above average is the real deal for an endowed woman. Please let me leave this thread. It's too worldly
*Leads @EreluRoz right back into the convo.*
Not so fast omoge... "Worldly ke?"
You're not a little girl so why are you trying to exit the family thread when you're not a prude? These situations are real world events so don't be shy to learn from others and to teach others... there's no big deal about the thread here.
EreluRoz: No, it has nothing to do with borehole. If a woman has big bottom there's no way she'll like an average or small dick. So get it right and stop the misinterpretation
@EreluRoz,
Let me step into the convo here. How does having a big male sex organ correlate with a woman having a big bottom (or backside) in terms of sexual performance?
As far as I'm concerned as an OG in the game, it's the female major erogenous points that matter most here NOT whether you have a big bottom which can be "approached" from all angles if a man isn't clueless.
Answer my first question so that I can understand you better.
Klass99: I speak for myself but I think majority of us want men to;
1. Get us to climax regardless of the diick size, don't be so fixated on the size that you become either arrogant or insecure, wrongly assuming you know best what women want. Arrogance is typical of men with big diicks and insecurity typical of ones with small diicks. Most of us don't climax through penetrative sex but you guys often assume a big diick is all that's needed for rocking our world. If we genuinely like you, we like you! And the size of your diick is not going to matter, so long as you are a sweet and loving person, in and out of bed.
2. Speak the love language of your woman and see if she doesn't respond in good measure, loving you back in your own language. Quality time and physical touch are my love languages, e dey bust my head die when a man speaks one or both of my languages, especially when he acts on his own without me telling him what my languages are. The two men who've done so in my life got the best out of me. Don't try to love us in the way men assume women want to be loved, understand the woman you're with and her love language.
3. Listen to us and stop assuming you know everything about us and the female anatomy. For example you assume money and a big diick drives every woman crazy, whereas the man I'm currently crazy about is just a simple, down to earth, practical, quality and lovely man. Quality and loveliness in terms of his soul, character and actions. He doesn't have a bank account larger than the law should allow, doesn't even drive a jeep but a Peugeot 406 but the persona and person he is at the core of his being is what drives me crazy. It doesn't hurt that he is good looking with a fine masculine voice.
It's NOT how long, average or short the "sub-machine gun" is, but it boils down to how well it's used.
ijustdey: But other schools of thought said the agitation might have been propelled by the agitation for restructuring and to pass a message to the president to fast-track the process of restructuring.
Political Science teacher Prof. Gbade Ojo said the renewed agitation has nothing to do with the fact that a Yoruba man is in the saddle.
He said an average Yoruba man is uncomfortable with the existing federal arrangement, so taking up arms to take over government in the name of Yoruba nation does not make sense.
According to him, the agitators had made a statement about the need for restructuring of the country. He however said the lesson of the agitation is for the government to be more committed to the project of restructuring.
“They have made a statement and the statement is that Yorubas are agitating and the issue of a Yoruba man being president is meaningless. Their own desire is a kind of restructuring which Tinubu has promised but he cannot go all hog to pursue restructuring primarily because of his second term.
“The agitation may be uncalled for in terms of violence but the issue is that the Yorubas are gradually becoming uncomfortable with the federal arrangement. The federal character principle is observed in abeyance. The Federal Character Commission is not monitoring anything. Recruitment is not being supervised. The same set of people from the same ethnic group or the same religion may be recruited at a go in an agency or parastatal or organisation that claims to be federal including federal universities,” he added.
Instead of only clamping down on the agitators, the university don challenged governments at the federal and state levels to make life comfortable for the people.
“Salaries have not been increased for over a year now after the subsidy was removed. The state of the economy is bad. The Oodua states should demonstrate more commitment in taking care of the people,” he said.
Another Professor of Political Science, Sylvester Odion also stated that the renewed agitation was to pass a message of restructuring to the president.
“It is not about a Yoruba man occupying the presidency, it is about restructuring the country. No indication yet that Tinubu will pursue that cause,” he said.
But analysts say the authorities in the South-West must go beyond clamping down on the perpetrators to find out the motive behind the renewed agitation.

According to him, his family owns four power plants, which significantly contribute to Nigeria’s energy needs.
Appearing on an American podcast, ‘Business Untitled,’ Davido spoke on his family business and personal investments.
He said: “I once tried to go into cryptocurrency because Nigeria is big on crypto. Apart from that, me and my family have like four power plants worth a lot of money. We distribute energy to most of Nigeria.
“My wife is into culinary. We are trying to start a restaurant for her. But my main business is what I love; my music.”

Jewish woman was kidnapped and raped in Gennevilliers (a suburb in west Paris) in France in an antisemitic attack. "I will desecrate your daughter, I will take revenge on Palestine," the attacker said.
"Thank God she managed to escape! Similarly to Toulouse, Sarah Halimi and the Hyper Cacher – hatred of Israel is lethal in France. It is what fuels antisemitism. Hatred of Israel is the blade of the Islamist dagger," said Jewish MP Meyer Habib.

A female senior lecturer (name withheld) in one of the tertiary institutions in Rivers State has given graphic details of her ordeals in the hands of kidnappers.
She recounted how she was raped in the forest of Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers and miraculously escaped from the kidnappers’ den.
Amid tears, she told her horrific story on Friday at the 6 Division of Nigerian Army, Port Harcourt shortly after the Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, Col. Aminu Iliyasu, handed over the three men who confessed to have kidnapped her to SARS.
The victim, who was accompanied by her husband and a female relative, said: “I was in my house in Port Harcourt on April 30, 2019. I was alone with my children and my husband’s cousin. They were sleeping in the room.
“I was washing with machine at the balcony. Since it was around 8 p.m., there was a programme I always watched on Zee World.
“As I was washing my clothes, I was watching the programme. The main gate was locked, but the protector was open, since I had to go downstairs to get water.
“I was in the living room, when I noticed that the protector opened slightly. I was wondering, because if my husband returned from work, he would horn and I would have to go and open the main gate for him.
“I was wondering who was there. The other person who was supposed to come back from work was sleeping. The next thing I saw was the key to the main door opened.
“Then I saw two guys first, pointing a gun at me. One of them cocked the gun and he asked after my husband but I said he had not closed from work.
“He then angrily asked why he had not closed from work at that time. I told him I wouldn’t know. He asked me to cooperate otherwise they would finish me, saying they were not playing with me.”
She went on: “He asked of my ATM card and PIN. I gave him. He asked if I had money in the house I said no but I had gold, which could be sold for N50, 000 but they rejected it.
“One person took our television, another took the laptop. I was tying a wrapper with spaghetti top since I was in my house. They then asked me to follow them.
“One of them asked me to get a dress but they did not let me leave the living room. The dress I wore to school that day was on my room’s door. They brought it for me and I wore it.
“They asked of my car’s key, I brought it out and I gave it to them. That was how they put me in my vehicle and as they were about to drive out, they found it difficult because of the space we share with our neighbour and they were hitting my neighbour’s fence.
“My neighbour came out and I said I was in trouble. Maybe he did not see me. The kidnappers put my head under the car’s seat and they drove off. I did not know the direction they followed.
“We then got to a place that was not motorable. So, we had to come down. That was how we started the journey inside the bush. I asked them what I did but they did not respond.
“That day, they paid me salary. I told them to let me give them the salary that was transferred to me.
“One of them then gave me an account number, which I forwarded my salary N59, 000 to. As we were still going inside the bush, he called someone to confirm if the person had received the alert.
“We later saw river that got to my knees. The leader pulled his trousers but I had to carry my dress up. That night, we spent about two hours in the bush, just moving around and I was barefooted because they did not allow me to wear slippers, thereby giving me injuries.
“They later blindfolded me and we got to a place where they said that was where we would stay that night. I slept on bare ground in the open forest.
“The next morning, out of the two of them that followed me inside the bush, one of them left, remaining one who told me that if I did not cooperate with him, to allow him to sleep with me four other persons would come in the afternoon and they would have me.
“But if I allowed him to sleep with me, he would let me go. I told him I would not be able to do it. When I was still sitting on the floor, he masked himself with his dress and he raped me.
Eternal vigilance at home (and indeed everywhere) is key.
The female lecturer is indeed brave to have narrated this horrendous crime to the media. These kinds of kidnappings and rapes usually lead to divorce or separations because most men just can't deal with the humiliation of knowing what some bloody riffraffs did to their wives.
I've always advocated for the use of real castrations or chemical castrations on rapists with hard labor as punishments. These would deter other potential rapists.
haybhi1: I don't understand when this had to start becoming a noise. Yorubas didn't make noise about success or achievement before. The let the success do the talking. See Adenuga, see Otedola, Adebayo Ogunlesi; Tope Awotona, Karl Toriola, Deremi Atanda, Shola Akingbade, Olugbenga Akinola, Eniola Aluko... and so on; how many of them you see making noise anyhow. This trait has no place in Yoruba land. We are known for finesse, silent achievement, not noise.
More specifically, literacy is the ability to understand the relationship between sounds and written words such that one may read, say, and understand them (UNESCO, 2004; Vlieghe, 2015).
I instinctively did a quick fact-check online and discovered that the alleged 19% literacy rate for Niger Republic in that map wasn't accurate as of 2023 when you attached the map of Africa literacy rate screenshot. That country's UNESCO literacy rate data as of 2022 ending was 37%.
Read the excerpts from a verified article below to get a hang of what I'm saying here:
"In a country whose literacy rate is among the lowest in the world, this is a contentious topic. According to data from UNESCO's Institute of Statistics, the West African nation's literacy rate at the end of 2022 stood at 37%. Although there is a consensus that the Republic of Niger needs to work faster and harder to improve education, the road to this common goal seems to have divided experts and parents."
Your thread is still relevant though, because it triggered some deep insights for me. However one has to be CLEARLY intentional about fact-checking these days because of fake news and non-updated information from static Websites before creating new NL threads or posting on X and other online platforms.
I never fully knew him (John Odonwodo) till he passed on. He def was popular among the niche demographics that knew him. He was widely reported to be 38 years of age as of the time he translated and now I'm seeing 43 years of age in the poster. There's a lot of misleading information by wannabe bloggers and YouTubers out there who publish crap without fact-checking.
DrMB: Congratulations to Tunde Onakoya, for breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest Chess marathon in the heart of Times Square! It is an incredible feat of mental stamina and focus. Not only did he break the record, but he did it for a great cause - raising awareness and funds for children's education in Africa. His achievement is truly inspiring.
Did you hear how many hours he played in total?
Truly impressive... 60 hours of playing the royal game of chess.
Glimpsetv: Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola, professionally known as DJ Cuppy or simply Cuppy, a Nigerian disc jockey and producer, daughter of popular Nigerian businessman and billionaire Femi Otedola, shows off her dancing skills as she joins the trending dance Tshwala Bam. DJ Cuppy's dancing steps and moves were met with mixed reactions, as some feel she didn't perform the dance well while some praised her for trying and for being so jovial despite being the daughter of a billionaire.
Meanwhile, DJ Cuppy announced in March that the video for her new single song titled “Wale” is out, while dropping a YouTube link to the video. Honestly, the song is dope and I think you should check it out.

Tunde is playing to raise $1 million for children’s education across Africa.
Congratulations Tunde Onakoya Guinness World Record Holder for the longest chess maratthon.
The previous chess marathon record is 56 hours, 9 minutes and 37 seconds, achieved in 2018 by 2 Norwegians —Hallvard Haug Flatebø (1997) and Sjur Ferkingstad (1980).
Lanrelagboi: Renowned chess player Tunde Onakoya has embarked on a mission to break the Guinness World Record for the longest chess marathon. Onakoya announced the event’s start via his X (formerly Twitter) account, captioning it “Game time.”
The marathon is currently underway at New York City’s iconic Times Square. It began at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, April 17, and is scheduled to conclude at 8 p.m. on April 19. Onakoya aims to play continuously for 58 hours without suffering a defeat.
He seeks to raise $1 million to support global chess education for children.
Tony O. Elumelu, formerly on X (formerly Twitter), expressed his support for Onakoya, saying, “Good luck on checkmating New York, @Tunde_OD, as you attempt to set the Guinness World Record for the longest Chess Marathon. Continue to inspire African youth—we stand firmly behind you.”
Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo applauded the chess master, stating, “Dear Tunde, best of luck in Times Square as you strive to set the Guinness World Record for the Longest Chess Marathon! Your resilience and spirit inspire us all. Remember your own powerful words: ‘It is possible to do great things from a small place.’ Let the dynamic energy of Times Square amplify the greatness you, a proud Nigerian, bring to the chessboard. We’re all behind you—show the world the strength and determination you are made of! God bless you, @Tunde_OD.”
The current Guinness World Record, held by Hallvard Haug Flatebø and Sjur Ferkingstad of Norway on November 11, 2018, stands at 56 hours, 9 minutes, and 37 seconds.
hardbody: Selling house and car for him to write WAEC? Were they toy house and car? Even one or two tyres sold can help anyone enter for WAEC and JAMB at once. Make una dey fear God small na
You have eagle eyes and pay attention to little details just like me.
The sequence of historical events in the life of Babatunde indicates that the father's car was actually sold in order to pay the WAEC fees for Tunde according to this link below:
His mother chose to work as a cleaner in the expensive secondary school he attended t and she was responsible for his fees after the father's initial transportation business went into a tailspin which he never recovered from. This information has been in the public domain for some years now.
nlfpmod: Someone gifted my parents a new house today. It’s the single greatest thing anyone will ever do for me in this lifetime. Thank you My mother worked as a cleaner in the same school I attended so I could get an education while my dad worked as a Danfo driver/bus conductor so we could feed and survive.
My greatest joy in life is to be able to give them both the life they truly deserve❤️
Tunde Onakoya
Babatunde Onakoya's mother changed the course of history by offering to put her son who could only speak Yoruba as his language (and a smattering of English) in an elite secondary school while she worked as a cleaner there to fund his education. His mother consequently retired from being a cleaner at the secondary the VERY last day he wrote his final exams. I first read about this surreal event 5 years ago.
Props to 'Tunde mother and father for their self-sacrifices for Tunde who has been gaining global recognition over the years as a Chess Master while lifting kids out of the slums into get some form of schooling and learning to play the royal game of chess.
MrBrownJay1: if they both have a full time job, within 24months of good credit, they can easily get a mortgage and buy a house in the UK....nothing special here. REMEMBER, the house will only truly be "yours" 20/30yrs down the line, after you finish repaying the mortgage (until then, the house belongs to the bank).
MemoriesAndMe: "Buying a house in cash" is different from "Buying a house on mortgage" in a foreign country.
Mortgage is the beginning of slavery for many people in western nations because they usually end up paying way more than the worth of the house with the high interest rates involved for multiple years.
That's why a lot of diasporans envy those in Nigeria that managed to buy or build their houses with their own physical cash or investments not those that simply think "buying a house in cash" isn't different from "buying a house on mortgage".
Huge difference bro.
If they bought the house in cash, congrats to them, if it's on mortgage, then they just traded years of their lives to pay up the price of the house and the house still isn't owned by them, it's owned by the bank that financed them, not them.
Even if it's just a 30 year mortgage, pay mortgage for 29 years and 6 months and you can't afford the remaining 6 months, the bank has the right to evict you and resell the house to someone else and start the process all over again. Many spend their entire lives abroad paying loans they can never pay off. Same with leased cars.
So, buying a house or cars in a western country isn't something people usually brag about when it's on loan because it's like "borrowing" the house or house from the real owner - the bank.
I know of someone that "bought" 4 houses on mortgage in the US and after the 2008 real estate crisis in the US, all 4 houses went under foreclosure and the next step was to file for bankruptcy.
It's great news if they bought their house without any loans from banks, that's what I meant.
When people buy houses in Nigeria, they pay cash and it's theirs for life.
Tbh, climate change is kicking butts worldwide. The most industrialized countries that are MAJORLY responsible the emissions of greenhouse gases have to take a decisive stance to stop those emissions and stop pussyfooting.
The world's oceans keep rising and last year (2023) cumulatively witnessed the hottest months ever in recent history and that trend has continued right into 2024!
onuman: Bolded. Right from the beginning of the 1970s till today, the federal government has been in charge of erosion control measures in all the states of Nigeria. I remember the 1980s Auchi erosion control in then Bendel state by the Federal government. The erosion was huge.
The erosion problems in Anambra and Imo States are watched by the Federal governnent to increase in dimensions. Methinks, it's part of continuation of the civil war through ecological and economic means.
Nobody expected federal government leaders like Buhari from Arewa to control the erosion in the SE. What of Tinubu?
Other states outside the South East of Nigeria are currently experiencing ecological disasters and gully erosions of multiple dimensions. So, this isn't a case of the continuation of a low-key Nigerian Civil War. The challenges seem to get bigger as work is carried out on some erosion sites, hence, some sites have witnessed failed sections after getting fixed.
Read up on the Federal Government and the NEWMAP World Bank erosion assisted program.
Other Web links below show that the Federal Government through NEWMAP has been involved in providing counterpart funding for the works on erosion sites... and incidentally Auchi is still battling with gully erosions as of 2024. In December 2023, the Vice President of Nigeria Kashim Shettima also visited Anambra in the second Web link below and flew in a helicopter over erosion sites. He emphatically promised Governor Soludo that work will continue on the erosion sites.
Ondo State is currently experiencing a massive erosion of the Atlantic coastline in the oil and gas-rich Ilaje area and a lot of the Ilaje-Yoruba folks there have lost their ancestral homelands to the Atlantic. I saw a documentary on the Ilaje tragedy and a prominent member of that community pointed to a location far out in the ocean horizon and said that was where his house and that of others used to be located. My jaws nearly hit the ground because the location where land used to be was very far out by several kilometers into the ocean!
This is what would have happened to Victoria Island in Lagos State if Bola Tinubu as the then Governor of Lagos had NOT come up with the Eko Atlantic City idea with the private sector because the Federal Government at that time was just pussyfooting while the highly embarrassing Atlantic ocean surges swept right through Victoria Island and environs.
I would advice all the states affected by sea and gully erosions to follow the lead of Lagos State under the then Governor Tinubu and partner with private companies that have specialties in these remedial or land reclamation projects while also working to energise the Federal Government/NEWMAP initiative on gully erosion.
onuman: The federal government of Nigeria takes charge of stopping erosion problems in Nigeria, not the state governors. Did you not know that?
Bola Tinubu as president is supposed to take charge of building erosion control systems in Nigeria. Oil exploitation in the Niger delta region is believed to be behind this erosion problems in the Niger delta region including Anambra, Abia and Imo States.
If the federal government led by Tinubu does not build required erosion control systems in the Niger delta region, but is only interested in building a coastal highway along a most marshy and merciless terain solely to connect Lagos to the coastal oil producing areas of the Niger delta region, it's a sin for Tinubu government
The soil type, human activity and poorly constructed drainage systems that have NO final termination points are MAJORLY responsible for the horrendous soil erosion in the South-East with Anambra being the erosion capital of the world according to Governor Soludo. About 10 states in the South East, South of South, and South West are affected by erosion issues though.
Indeed, I agree that the Federal Government in Nigeria must set up special intervention funds to assist the states because the cost is huge and that's why I suggested using preventive measures to start with in those states especially Anambra that has 40 percent of it's total landmass under threat.
Last but NOT least, the Lagos-Calabar Coastal highway/Coastal rail lines have been planned for decades and Goodluck Jonathan and Mohammed Buhari brought the projects to public knowledge. The Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has kicked off the project at last and I strongly believe it would NOT lead to severe environment degradation or erosions since this isn't the first time that roads would be constructed in the Niger Delta region spanning Ondo South in Ondo State to Delta State, Bayelsa State, Rivers State, Akwa Ibom, and Cross Rivers State.

Participants were full of happiness and expressed gratitude to the organisers for the opportunity, saying it has equipped them with the right intelligence to pursue their endeavours.
Paraman: A financial data and media company, Bloomberg, has ranked the Dangote Refinery above the top 10 biggest refineries in Europe.
According to data compiled by the business news platform, the refinery has more capacity than many European ones.
The $20bn-worth refinery located in Lekki-Epe Expressway, Lagos State, can refine 650,000 barrels of petroleum products per day.
The report sighted by our correspondent on Thursday stated that this is over 246,00bpd capacity, more than Shell’s Pernis Refinery, which is located in the Netherlands.
It added that the Pernis Refinery, which has an installed capacity of 404,000bpd, is the biggest in Europe. The BP Rotterdam Refinery in the Netherlands has a capacity of 380,000.
Bloomberg also reported that the GOI Energy ISAB Refinery in Italy was built with a refining capacity of 360,000bpd.
Also, the TotalEnergies Antwerp refining facility in Belgium can refine 338,000bpd.
Others listed in the report were the Orlen Plock Refinery in Poland with 327,000bpd; Shell’s Rheinland in Germany with 327,000bpd; Miro Refinery in Germany with 310,000 capacity; and the ExxonMobil Anterwep Refinery in Belgium with 307,000 capacity.
It added that the Saras Sarroch Refinery in Italy had 300,000 capacity; the ExxonMobil Fawley in England had 270,000bpd capacity.
The Bloomberg report described the Dangote Refinery as a ‘game changer’ and said it was taking advantage of cheaper US oil imports for as much as a third of its feedstock as it started up.
According to analysts, the refinery has been shipping products in recent weeks while readying two units to enable petrol output, which will deliver a long-promised transformation of the fuel market in Nigeria and the region.
“Dangote is going to influence Atlantic Basin gasoline markets this summer and for the rest of the year,” an oil expert, Alan Gelder, told Bloomberg.
According to the average estimate of analysts at WoodMac, FGE, and Citac, the refinery is running at about 300,000 barrels a day, nearly half its nameplate capacity.
The complex has started shipping jet fuel, diesel, and naphtha as it widens to a full slate of products.
Reuters recently reported that the Dangote oil refinery could end a decades-long petrol trade from Europe to Africa, worth $17 billion a year.
Reuters, quoting analysts and traders, said the Dangote refinery was heaping pressure on European refineries already at risk of closure from heightened competition, adding that the refinery would be the largest in Africa and Europe when it reaches full capacity.
About a third of Europe’s 1.33mbpd average petrol exports in 2023 went to West Africa, a bigger chunk than any other region, with most of those exports ending up in Nigeria, Reuters said, quoting Kpler data.
Dangote Refinery has begun selling diesel into the Nigerian market, crashing the pump price from N1,600 to N940 in less than a month.
muhammaduyusufu: Peter Obi has said that the Federal Government should not build the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway because there are uncompleted projects all over Nigeria. But there were also numerous uncompleted projects all over Anambra during Peter's eight year tenure as Anambra Governor, yet Peter Obi invested in a $30 million beer brewery.
For example, Anambra under Peter Obi, became the erosion headquarters of the entire world. Please fact-check me. They also suffered perennial flooding that kills Anambra residents and destroys billions of properties perennially. Yet, Peter Obi did not complete the erosion and flood control projects initiated by his predecessors.
Lagos had even worse flooding than Anambra, due to the Atlantic Ocean flooding Victoria Island, but Tinubu and Fashola reclaimed land from the ocean, and ended that annual flooding, and even built a brand new city, Eko Atlantic City, out of what was once covered with water.
But Peter Obi's focus was on beer. Perhaps he wanted Anambra people to console themselves while flood and erosion destroyed their communities.
Tbh, the erosion problem in Anambra State and other places would cost those states millions of USD to fix and they simply don't have that kind of money. So, it's best to just create proper drainage systems, plant more trees and avoid rapid deforestations as preventive measures.
Indeed, Reno is absolutely right with regards to the reclamation of lost land (due to the Atlantic Ocean surges) to create Eko Atlantic City which helped to STOP the horrendous floodings back in the 1990s and 2000s that overtook Victoria Island around the Modupe Osikoya Street, Ahmadu Bello Way, IMB Plaza and adjoining areas.
Victoria Island would have been completely submerged by now due to climate change and increasing ocean water volumes. In the 1950s and 1960s, the vast lands at the Bar Beach area still existed but gradually got submerged and lost to the Atlantic Ocean. Eko Atlantic City is a brilliant public-private partnership masterstroke from the then Governor Bola Tinubu of Lagos State and Gilbert Chagoury's company and that saved Victoria Island, Lekki/Ajah areas from total submergence by the Atlantic Ocean. Though the land is quite expensive to get as of today, the U.S. Embassy has invested in huge tracts of land at Eko Atlantic City and that shows how much confidence the U.S. goverment and others have in the ongoing real estate development at Eko Atlantic City.
Reflect7: Access to Electricity in Tanzania is actually 38%.
In Nigeria it is 65%, despite our much larger population.
Nigeria has an installed generating capacity of 14,000 megawatts, so could easily “generate more power than is required”.
The issue is not generating capacity but transmission and distribution capacity. Tanzania has low capacity to transmit and distribute, so they shut down some power plants. They currently can transmit no more than 1,900 mw. They suffer daily power cuts till today.
Peter Obi seems not to have learned how electricity works during his visit to Egypt.
