No matter how badly hated Sanusi bank reforms are perceived,I can bodly say without blinking an eye
that any man/woman that could take darkness away from Nigeria will be the best Nigerian of the century. and i will surport him as a hero with sense not soludo who did not know anything

he's talking about improving the economy not taking darkness away from naija. . .

Hello,

My User name is NKnight. I made a post on the top US grad schools and got a message that seems to suggest the message is spam. I did not post any spam. Please can you restore my posting privileges. Keep up the good work.

Thanks.

he posted this on you lot's complaint site and somehow i think you guys might not respond in time. . .i'd appreciate it if you guys' looked into it!

The core of the discussion is on if we need immediate investment into the transmission and distribution networks. The description given in the article seems to focus on localized power generation which I feel will be cost inefficient as ooposed to optimal siting of the power station (based on fuel/energy sources and transmission network). Having a city supplied by an hydro station (or any other underterministic source) off grid will expose such cities to either over budgeting at times of source abundance and/or under-supplied in times of dearth (like dry season for hydro stations).
With out using the  grid, it becomes chop alone die alone

if that alone is considered, you're 100% right. . .if there was a way to achieve that without having to carry domestic and commercial load, i'd agree with you totally but as it stands today, it isn't possible and i think in this case, it's left to the investor that want to access the funds to make it work. . .

i'll be going to PHCN HQ sometime next week, i'll try and find out the cost per-unit-lenth for txn networks.

i dont agree with your overbudgeting thingy on hydro o. . .cos they have hydrologists at hydro stations and you monitor the rainfall of the area for close to 8yrs at least before siting a hydro station there, it's all about planning and economic dispatch really.

i'm guessing including the northen sites was mainly for political correctness and ish though

i need to snap outta this. . .

biina:
Did you observe the proposed sites? Lagos, Kano, Onitsha, Nnewi, Port Harcourt, Aba, Funtua/Gusua/Malunfashi/Zaria, Lokoja and Maiduguri/Gombe/Bauchi.
Maybe I am missing something, but I dont see how it would be cost effective to site the stations in those areas and now transport the fuels to them. I dont think gas pipelines will be more cost effective than upgrading transmission system.

those are the industrial nerve centres of nigeria now, geometric power(barth nnaji) is doing something in aba and from the gist i hear, things are moving fast there (he's prolly the only serious IPP sef). . .

i think you're looking at this in terms of nigeria as a whole, not in terms of the nigerian economy, the question to ask is, would it be cheaper than using generators? and would both the investor and the industries being supplied profit from the arrangement? while i dont know the numbers that were/are being crunched, i think it would be a worthwhile venture. . .besides, the transportation problem you're talking about is principally for the north, and that's if gas is the fuel, i dont think the type of stations to be built were specified.

Nknight tried to post a list of school rankings, and my guess is that he got banned by the spambot. . .if anyone wants to see waht he was trying to post, go to his profile and check his recent posts. . .

charge which customers - the DisCos? We cant afford to address the issue serially, rather all phases should be tackled in parallel, even if it means prioritizing some states and/or regions i.e. put the money where it would have the most impact. Example I would take regular supply to the designated industrial areas above wasted capacity.

One factor that is worth considering (and am not sure if it is true) is if implementation time is lower for transmission and distribution, meaning they can lag generation in initiation.

thats why i used the term captive generation, the industrial parks or whatever they're called will be turned into islands, so they wont be tied to the national grid(although there are ways to tie them in in such a way as to feed the excess power). . .prioritizing some states and regions is what we have on ground already,more importantly and since this is aimed at improving the economy, the 'masses' are not really important in the sense you're considering, what the CBN wants is to encourage industries i.e. create more jobs, you having light at home doesn't create more jobs


as per the idea you mooted, our distribution and transmission networks are already in a sorry state, cos for a while there has been little or no work done on them, most of the work has been on constructing new generating stations(although i admit a few new txn stations have been built), the networks are already overloaded in a lot of places(both on the transmission and distribution side) so i think it would be better for the private investors to concentrate on the OPS where they have a better chance of recouping their investments.

P.S. if they cater to the industries, in a sense it will increase the MW's available for non-industrial use. . .

@phemmy
we're talking about a professional sector, not something you go on training for 3-6months for. . .common sense is not the most important thing. . .relevant knowledge and skill are far more important.

Fhemmmy:
Solving the problem of Nigeria does not need supernatural powers, it is common sense.
Since he has access to the money, i am sure he could get it done

i hope by 'the problem of nigeria' you dont mean the power sector?

biina:
I dont see the problem as long as the banks can be held honest,to ensure that the low interest loans are injected into the sector. I would have only liked the investments to include the transmission and distribution segments as well.

actually, his idea makes more sense. . .cos if the funds are used entirely for captive generation then the companies will be able to charge the customers properly, and it will also benefit the economy much more this way.

now every tom d1ck and harry will want to build a power station. . .lol

I prefer someone like retired Gen Martin Luther Agwai instead of Danjuma. He is also from north central (if I'm not mistaken). His past is not bad like Danjumas. For a civilian president, Jonathan needs someone who believes in civilian authority over the military. Danjuma and Obasanjo belong to the same era.
Jonathan should be very smart in dealing with Danjuma -a green snake in a green grass!   . . And he must never smell VP position at all.  . . . even for a day.

i like the sound of agwai, but we only know him as a soldier. . .nothing more. . .no clues as to how he'd perform!

Is it a bad fashion etiquette to have fold lines on your clothes. I ask this because after ironing i don'ty like hanging my clothes rather i prefer folding them and arranging them in my wardrope. Everybody's opinion is most welcome.

i like having fold lines on my shirts o. . .dunno about whether it's bad etiquette or not. . .

@jcob
ok. . .i edited mine too so they dont get your email from there, there's even one dude on NL adewuni adebolatan or something of that sort that keeps sending me junk mails so i get a lil touchy. . .

i dey o, still resting/lounging/womanzing to make up for all what i missed during NYSC, i'll prolly head to PHCN HQ this week to see that they have for the boys, but chill sef, wetin you dey use browse for that village where you dey? cos this one wey you dey browse on sunday, e be like say your village better pass the one wey them bin post me go

i think this would be a nice addition https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-393772.0.html

Sir, can i contact you by whatever means preferred by you ? my email is jackobzn_at_yahoo.com
Thanks.

@jcob
u should expect a lot of mails from turai(and even miriam babangidas children sef) telling you to come and share the money she has stashed away. . .i think it has been mentioned a lot of times on NL that we shouldnt paste our email addresses like that cos of awon people, putting jackobzn [at] yahoo or even preferrably jackobzn(yahoo) is morelikely to throw the email extractors off balance. . .

hi, i just buy new system. i can not read any file document i download or open . or document i transfer to through my phone . i try some conversion but couldnt work.
but i remember in my email document can be converted using universal conversion
options givenl. pls help.

are you sure you have the appropriate software to open the files you want to open? if the computer is new as you stated in your post, then you would need to install software to open certain types of files. . .
