The country had suffered enough all in the name of cow meat

The shoes yes, a mistake. But the bicycles can never be a mistake Bros

No Wonder the Iranian spiritual leader was talking tough

Its a pity the northern elders can't help the situation

I knew sanusi will be victorious in the end for fairness, Equity and justice

The man look very brutal

The national grid, operated by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), is a complex network of power generation, transmission, and distribution systems. The grid operates at a frequency of 50 Hz, with a total installed capacity of over 13,000 MW. Shutting down and restarting the grid requires a coordinated process to ensure safety, stability, and efficiency.

_Shutting Down the National Grid_

When a shutdown is required, the following steps are taken:

1. Notification: The System Operator (SO) notifies all stakeholders, including generation and transmission companies, of the planned shutdown.
2. Load shedding: The SO implements load shedding to reduce the grid load to a minimum, typically 500 MW.
3. Generation reduction: Generators reduce their output to match the reduced load.
4. Grid synchronization: The grid is synchronized to ensure all generators are operating at the same frequency and voltage.
5. Shutdown: The grid is shut down, and all transmission lines and substations are de-energized.

Planned shutdowns typically take 1-2 hours, while unplanned shutdowns due to emergencies can occur within minutes.

_Restarting the National Grid_

To restart the grid, the following steps are taken:

1. *Grid re-synchronization*: The grid is re-synchronized to ensure all generators are operating at the same frequency and voltage.
2. *Generation ramp-up*: Generators ramp up their output to match the increasing load.
3. *Load restoration*: The SO restores load in stages, prioritizing critical infrastructure and essential services.
4. *Grid stabilization*: The grid is stabilized, and voltage and frequency are monitored to ensure stability.

Restarting the grid after a planned shutdown typically takes 2-4 hours, while restarting after an unplanned shutdown can take longer, typically between 4-24 hours, depending on the extent of the outage and repairs needed.

In conclusion, shutting down and restarting Nigeria's national grid requires a coordinated process involving multiple stakeholders and technical expertise. Understanding the technical details of this process highlights the complexity and importance of grid management in ensuring a stable and reliable power supply.

Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan has said that many politicians will not approach the court if the judiciary has been fair and upright in tackling election disputes.

Jonathan made this statement on Tuesday in Asaba, Delta state at the inauguration of the state new High Court Complex.

“My thinking is that 50 per cent of those who go to court go to court because they felt they were cheated by the electoral management system; they were rigged out.

“When you feel naturally aggrieved, you have to go to court. So assuming the elections are properly conducted, they know they failed the election, but they feel they can use the judiciary to declare them winners.

“If the judiciary doesn’t declare who doesn’t win the election that they are winners, that many 50 per cent will not go to court.

“In South Africa, the electoral management body will never compromise, they all know. If you lose the election, you just wait for the next election. You don’t need to go to court.

“Because if you go to court, the judiciary too will not compromise. So you will not get anything,” he said.

The former President applauded the government of Delta State for its efforts in enhancing the working environment of judicial officers.

He also commended Delta State governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, for his administration’s focus on infrastructural development, and his commitment to completing projects initiated by previous governments.

According to him, the project, which was started in 1991, is proof of the government’s dedication to continuity and development.

“There are some projects that are very fundamental to the growth and development of the state. We expect anybody who takes over the government to continue them, and you are doing exactly that,” Jonathan said.
