asodane:
what are you talking about
I'm not disputing the fact that Britain and USA were once a nation. But they separated and usa is far greater than Britain. Don't quote me again if you can't comprehend my writeup.

tysontim:
Is it the North where you spend billions of naira for solar energy, Boko haram will just destroy it over night

doctokwus:
Op should show us one country in the world that uses solar energy as a major source of power generation.
Meanwhile does he know coal is still a major electric power source in China,U.S.A,India,Japan,Australia,German,Russia & U.K.,in that order?

oladeebo from "Benin Empire"

asodane:
Chia is USA not greater than Britain

HiddenShadow:
We are talking about Biafra, this one is talking about a region that love to live in 1000 AD system

EzeUche:
Will you keep quiet!

Singapore is doing better than Malaysia. You can try to deny it, but it is one of the Asian Tigers.

ehikwe22:
it's going to start with Biafra

EzeUche:
Singapore is greater than Malaysia and they seceded.

And biafra keeps getting popular

Some politicians calling for the implementation of the recommendation of the 2014 National Conference might not actually be clamoring for some of conference’s recommendations such as the creation of 18 more states, asking churches and mosques to pay taxes and that all members of the legislative arm should serve on a part-time basis.

They could have their eyes on the conference recommendation which talks about resource control – probably the local control of massive reserves of oil and gas in the south. Unfortunately, no single source of energy can guarantee energy security and prosperity.
The surest route to economic prosperity is through manufacturing, which is powered by energy. China is a good example of a country which has taken this route.

With the abundant sunlight in northern Nigeria and the recent power purchase agreements (PPAs) signed with solar energy providers, Nigeria seems to be expanding its energy mix.

Northern Nigeria has a great role to play in guaranteeing Nigeria’s energy security. Nigeria receives an average radiation of 7 kWh/m2 per day in the far north and about 3.5 kWh/m2 in the coastal latitudes. Interestingly, there are also large expanse of lands in northern Nigeria to lay massive lengths of solar panels. It is not surprising that private capital is coming into the north for the construction of solar power plants.

With the signing of a number of PPAs with solar energy firms, states like Katsina, Kaduna, Sokoto and Bauchi could add over 1000 megawatts (MW) of power to the national grid, a third of Nigeria’s current generation, in the coming months and years.

And with the right policies, these megawatts could increase. After all, the US has a solar capacity of 10 gigawatts (GW).

To guarantee prosperity, Nigeria needs to start thinking like other oil-rich nations. For example, UAE plans to produce 44% of its electricity from renewable (solar and wind), 38% from gas, 12 percent from fossil fuel and 6 % from nuclear in 2050. The Gulf state is investing $163 billion in its ambitious plan on renewables.

UAE’s decision is good economics. Investment in solar energy guarantees a long-term, stable and inflation-protected return. Unlike gas-fired power plants which need gas supply from oil companies, solar plants need virtually nothing. The price of gas in the global market has no effect in the supply of electricity from solar plants. Also, in terms of risk, solar power plants are not connected to pipelines, which are prone to vandalism.

There are other good news in terms of economics. The price of solar electricity, after factoring in the cost of plant construction, is now coming down. Thanks to technology. Last year, a solar firm, Solarpack, contracted to sell solar electricity in Chile at just $29.1 per megawatt hour, almost half of the price of electricity from gas-fired power plants in Chile.

Comparing the current pricing in Chile to Nigeria’s tariff system, would amount to paying just N10.6 per kilowatt hour. This means in the long term, there is a possibility of producing very cheap electricity from solar plants currently built in northern Nigeria. Cheap electricity will turn around the fortunes of Nigeria.

With massive supply of solar electricity to the national grid, gas-fired power plants in the south could adjust its supply to capture cheap solar electricity. For instance, Nigeria could have a scenario where it is cheaper to use electricity during the day, when solar plants are supplying electricity, and slightly costlier to use at night, when gas-fired plants are supplying.

Health wise, more gigawatts can be added to Nigeria’s energy mix without fear of noise and air pollution. This means Nigeria could industrialize without harming its environment.

There are other indirect benefits of constructing solar plants. The construction of solar power plants creates more jobs than any other power plant construction. Unlike the construction of gas fired power plants which consist of complex machinery, the bulk of the cost of building solar plants goes to solar panels. It would be easier to manufacture solar panels in Nigeria than to manufacture gas turbines, whose engines are similar to aircraft engines.

As a nation, we need the sunlight and vast expanse of land in north. The south and north need each other.

lloydtruth:
@ the bolded, come grab your land, what are you waiting for? In this 21 century igbos don't know their origin, please Mr origin identifier why not tell us the origin of the Yorubas. like I mentioned earlier "you will end up killing your self on top igbo matter" go check your BP tomorrow.

bkool7:
Hmm

Another Ethnic thread
Let me get my AK and amunitions

malele:
Yes we know, but should u concentrate on oduduwa and leave biafra alone to decide.

lloydtruth:
Just this morning alone you guys have created over 10 threads on igbo/biafra , are you people this obsessed?
oladeebo from Bini Empire! evil impersonators everywhere why are you not proud of your Yoruba background?
It surprises me that there are only two people on Nairaland (the igbos and the we south south) nobody is now Yoruba, even small urhobo now have more population on Nairaland than the Yorubas .
You people will kill yourselves on top biafra matter ooooo, channel your energy on your well-being and that of your loved ones and let Biafrans worry about their success or failure. I hope am not trying to take away oxygen from you because it seems you guys can't live without igbo obsession.

Markfemi:
As an Edo Yoruba I have observed how since GEJ lost Igbo people have waged an online attack on Yoruba race but Yorubas have ignored them all the title Igbo claim facts always dispute and hands it over to Yorubas.
Yorubas are the richest, most educated and accommodating.
no one man can control their mumu button like kanu does to ibo

Igbo has attempted to use Ilorin to abuse Yoruba forgetting that being defeated in a war is a worse humiliating experience
they also claim Yoruba have always aligned with north which is another lie
ibo has been the chief boy boy to hausa from Azikwe to Ike ekremedu.

today, if igbo is sent out of Yoruba land ibo will suffer
Yorubas are naturally blessed they have access to the sea, they have oil, they are the gateway to West Africa
their presence is in Benin Togo all the way to the south america
they call Yoruba lazy
but its only the lazy Yoruba man that turns is village into a town and to a city by staying and developing his own land
take a look at ogun which makes more money than the entire igbo land

take a look at ede in osun once a village now a thriving town
same thing in kwara, same thing in ekiti with afe babalola

so ibo people why do you envy Yoruba so much?

Yoruba have rich history we know nothing about Igbos
seems the more you envy them the more they achieve and you sound and look very bitter.

You also accused yoruba churches of not having ibo top pastors

I have not seen any Yoruba man accuse igbo catholics of not allowing non ibos lead Catholic churches or are you jealous of great yoruba churches with international influence even prime minister of uk must visit for votes. THE YORUBA ENVY IS VERY VISIBLE

they are tribes of first and are continuing the achieve more greater feats
MY YORUBAS I HAIL UNA
IF NIGERIA SPLIT TODAY EDO WILL JOIN ODUA AS SEPARATE AUTONOMOUS REGION

GREETINGS FROM A EDO YORUBA BOY

ApexPredator:
Lol Morons. Nigeria is a British created entity. Igbos had already settled on this VACANT land before the British arrived West Africa . Hence it is ours. We might be closer genetically to Cameroonians, but that doesn't make SE Nigeria any less of our possession.

kingzizzy:
Use your head. Why would the ancient Navigators call the Sea by the area "The Bight Of Biafra" if Biafra was thst Inland? They called the Sea After the Kingdom Of Biafra thst used to cover the area now called SE/SS as well the Southern Cameroons. In map below, Biafra in green colour stretches from the Southern Cameroon through the SE/SS and stops at the Bini Empire

hammer6:
I admire ur passion but just think for a second, wat u could achieve if u channel that passion towards something positive.
If Biafra will rise tomorrow, then it will rise, nothing can change or stop dat.
Personally, i believe that Nigeria was destroyed by Yoruba.
U are the problem with this country and after Nigeria we will happily watch u from our side of the fence.

capatainrambo:
usless afonja



no time for u

hammer6:
I AM AN IGBO MAN, WE WANT TO DETACH OURSELF AND LAND FROM AFONJA AND ABOKI AS A MATTER OF EMERGENCY. I HOPE I ANSWERED UR QUESTION?

capatainrambo:
brain dead op

guess you didn't see the location of kogi in your map
or the rivers Niger and benue
usless afonja

kingzizzy:
I wonder how anybody can say that Igbo land isnt on the map when Asaba is clearly on the map
