APC and their cheap publicity stunt.... Always taking pics at every slight opportunity

Am a proud Northern Muslim and its time the Muslim folks particularly the northern ones grow up and begin to see the light. The so call Sheik should also remember that the prophet encouraged Muslims to do charity , to give rather than recieve. Because of its immence blessing.If so why should you always choose to be recieve. It is more rewarding to strive ,making a living and give out in alms to the needy.
We cannot Continue to live this way, always wanting to get without going to find.Again as Muslims that should be just and show fairness, the money generated is from all faiths and not for Muslims alone. In such a case you are not being fair to others residing there that do not share our faith.
The rich folks amongst the Muslim faithfuls and the shiek should start by giving out to the needy.We have enough to go round. Muslim folks can volunteer,after all is an act of ibadah and rewarding to a believer. If the governor wishes to give out of his personal wealth so be it. We as Muslims need to be up and doing.
Lastly for the misguided people who still choose to call Muslims terrorist may Allah grant you enlightenment.
Ramadan Kareem!

I was surprised when I saw the thread of today on the "Next Week's" Ministerial list. The man couldn't even appoint Chief of Staff or SGF. Meaning civil servants are running those two strategic offices

But Garba Shehu said "soon" since June 02. How long is the "soon"?

No river in West Africa can give you such hydro capacity sir! Closest you can get is the Grand Inga dam project on the Congo in Congo DR.

You can chose to build 100,000MW nuclear power plant is anywhere in Nigeria (in you can raise the fund required), but you can't build any MW above what the river sources around you can provide for hydro power. Even having the water flow does not mean the topology will give you favourable location.

So China building 3 Gorges dam on the Yanges does not mean Nigeria, or West Africa has a "Yanges" to build her own.

No sir! We can't go about building dams everywhere. Mind you, I don't in any way mean that we have "enough" dams in Nigeria or Africa yet, but there's limit to how much power we can practically depend on dams for. Yes they look beautiful and support agriculture, but they are highly environmentally destructive, particularly in their downstream communities.

Developed nations are shutting down SOME of their nuclear power plants because of age, mainly. Every plant has a lifetime. When an equipment or plant approaches its lifetime, reliability reduces and cost of operation rises. Based on several technical, risk, economic, social and environmental analysis, the equipment or plant may be given a life extension (retrofitting) or wound down (obsolescence).

Note that UK and Germany are shutting down because they are investing more in offshore wind generation power systems, while Japan is constrained because of seismic risks. So everybody makes such decisions bases on individual's peculiar risks and conditions.

Sorry, I don't get you.

Aaaargh! Too much ignorance here !



Read again, it is a BOOT arrangement, meaning it will be built , owned, operated by the Russians before being transferred to Nigeria after a stipulated period.



Scientists don't maintain plants, technicians[b][/b] do.



1. I'm not sure of average rate at the moment, but nuclear plants are the costliest to set up among the popular energy plants. They don't come cheap. Consolation is that they produce the cheapest electricity of the lot.

2. Japan is shutting down because of its environmental risk profile I.e it is in an earthquake prone region, while Nigeria has a better environmental risk profile in that respect.

Other nations shutting down have better energy mix and older nuclear reactors/plants. Ours is new and based on newer and safer technology too.




It would have been a good thing for people of Daura, but nuclear plants are sited near large fresh water source for (tertiary) cooling of reactors. So that's why it is in Kogi (rivers Niger and Benue) and Akwa Ibom (Qua Oboe river).



No he will carry on with the national policy on energy mix and nuclear power generation. It is part of our national development programmes.



No sir. It is a national policy inducted under late president UMYA



Geregu is in Kogi state in Ebira (?) land. Calm down, it is a national asset. Stop reasoning like boko haram.



Read it again and see IAEA being involved. Building nuclear plants is not like buying Tiger or Elepaq generators. There are stringent statutory requirements and operational procedures to meet.



Hydro dams have their strong points, but they are not exactly environmental friendly and are highly susceptible to hydrological cycle and plenty of community related issues both upstream and downstream. Moreover, you need energy mix to improve your general reliability.



I pray and hope (and would lobby if I'm in such prime position)that one of the next sets planned will be sited between Imo river and Anambra river courses. You don't know what you are wishing away. Pls aclm down and atop reasoning like Boko Haram.



Many things go under project capital cost sir. You can't be sure until you see the breakdown. Most times, associated infrastructure, consultancy/supervision, and logistics make such costs swell especially in low developed environment like ours.



It is natural reaction to "hate" new ideas. Please calm down and adapt to change sir. Lol

Comparing Nigeria energy policy to Germany's is like comparing a poor man that has family of 12 and earning #18k minimum wage with Osun State ( :p ) and idle house wife to a senior manager in Schlumberger with a senior bank manager wife and two kids on choices of food: one has better options than the other.

How does that relate to the topic of discussion?

Nigeria36:
It is the official designation of the King of Daura.
E.g His Majesty, King Buhari, the Dullard 1 of Daura
