Telsa should have two battery system, the telsa battery system and the other battery system with alternator to avoid situations like this...mehn thus my idea is worth billions of dollars oh

Le me look for their phone number self to discuss the business idea.

It is a fact that traffic can build up unexpectedly.

Anybody that have lived in Lagos should know this.

If you are driving an electric car or a Petro car you should have put this into consideration.

Even for a Petro car you should have enough fuel

You should blame the guy driving the car for not taking this factors into consideration.

Nigeria have no plan for electric car.


Nigeria can not be a failed Nation because of the careless of the owner of an electric car.

Where have you travel to. It happens even in countries that use electric cars but have made provision for it.

Nigeria could be a "failed Nation" (according to you )but not for the careless of the owner of the electric car

Continue making excuses for bad governance. Enjoy

Una dey blame the man for using Tesla for Nigeria. Truly we have power supply problem in Nigeria.
But what about the white man in America or so that took his Tesla car to a remote area and blew it up with dynamite

An electric car is an electric car.
Alternator means an engine and those are called hybrids, except if you are suggesting a windmill, which will just be a hahaha.
But once again,energy is energy. The management of stored energy is what has failed here not the type of energy after all a full tank of gasoline has a potential chemical energy equivalent to about 65 kilowatt hours, similar to the battery charge in most electric automobiles.

If you keep your gasoline engine running, sooner or later you will need a tow or a can and an okada or a tio... grin

Why can’t we have a stable power supply?

Why can’t we reform the laws allowing states to generate power under clean energy act?

Why can’t the central leadership coerce all these “no-good” state leadership to get up and starting working for their state rather than wait for handout from central? Most of the Emirates in UAE run their own power supply scheme. Some emirates like Ajman is not as big as Lagos, yet they have their power plants. See below photo3 Ajman’s power plant.

It’s 2021.... the science of power generation is quite rudimentary at these times. Not a big deal! It’s the same basic science of your tiger generator scaled up a thousand times.


Turkey runs an offshore power turbine (on ship) off the coast of Lebanon to supply power to this nation (Lebanon). Lagos can get one of this. Lagos can afford it. If they can’t, then rent the service. See below Turkey’s Karpowership.

China will be more than happy to build a power plant on each state in Nigeria on a long term repayment agreement; just the way we partnered with them on rail.

Sometimes we need brute force to make a change... the way Sanusi forced everyone to go cashless. Now POS operator is a popular employment scheme around Nigeria, though not good enough, better then staying unemployed.

But what we have is a bunch of clowns who are after their own interest. Their greed stinks! Most often they distract the people with non issues while they are neck deep in the coffers

It’s an APC government, an APC legislature... what are they waiting for?

PS: second photo is shell’s power supply scheme to Aba industrial zone. It’s a limited scheme.

I think they estimated that to fix our power sector we will need about 500billion USD

I think the cost is high that’s why.

Also there isn’t a strong urge to fix it from the government cos of vested interests that will be affected (generator importers etc)

Lolz. Welcome to Nigeria, welcome to lasgidi. He must have drained his battery while in traffic. Next time he would seek Google map help on traffic situation per route before he steps out.

This is one of the reasons I say Nigeria isn't progressing. 4th mainland bridge and lagos owned airport which Tinubu had been using to campaign since 1999 are a mirage. I'm sure they'd still use the same to campaign to gullible lagosians come 2023 and they'd believe them hook line and sinker. Our mumu go do one day. They know how to catch you people with lies. The earlier you guys join us in chasing them away, the better. Lagos had become their business centre.

We wouldn't have been facing terrible traffic in lagos today, had Pa janakde been allowed by buhari in the 80s to complete the lagos lite rail which is neither here nor there today. Successive governments would mount a few pillars of the lite rail and leave. They keep using it to campaign but the same man can own 3 private jets and his blind supporters would say there's nothing bad about it.

My friend came from the UK to help with Lagos water transportation during fahola regime, he looked at the proposal and pushed it aside. This guy works in same company in the UK as a senior manager and the British company promised to finance it 100% that he should come and do the ground work at home.

Long story cut short, this guy's proposal was plagiarised by those in government then but they got stuck due to lack of financing. They now bought 2 boats for this purpose which plied ikorodu-island route.

Sanwoolu government invited him and had a chat with this guy. He staged a walk out after they said the profit would be shared 60/40. What a state undecided

In my friend's proposal, he wanted to ensure that both buman and vehicles were ferried from Island to mainland. In that proposal, one ferry would convey over 1000 passengers at a time. Very robust one. But because they wanted to short change him, he dropped the idea and left. That's the way lagos rolls. They're anti-people. They didn't consider the relief such a project would have had on lagosians.

Shame in our government. The replica of the proposed lagos airport to be cited around lekki which they've been using to campaign since 1999 was what Anambra who doesn't have up to half of lagos revenues had done in less than 4 years without making noise , bayelsa too. We will get sense one day .
This shameful behaviour is prevalent at all levels of govt in this country
It's as if we dont like good thing or progress undecided

You mean $500B ?

Then if we can’t build it... why don’t we rent power stations like karpowership?

If you're going to use a Tesla in Nigeria, make sure you go out with a full battery, and avoid long long-distance travel. We don't have charging ports in Nigeria yet. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Buying Tesla in Nigeria is very risky and not worth it, especially in a country that doesn't have stable electricity and coupled with insecurities.

A friend of mine that resides in Nigeria wanted to buy the model s but I advised him not to, assuming he was residing in a saner clime, it would have been great.
How about flooding in parts of Lagos island

Only foolish people will buy this “ELECTRIC” car in Nigeria

Nigeria that cannot provide 12hrs supply in a 24hrs day, that is where u go buy tesla!

All for the instagram

There are two types of Nigeria: poor and rich. The story that most of know is the former.

In many highbrow parts of Lagos, they enjoy 24 hour power supply. There are many places in Lekki that can boast of one month without power cut. Whenever their power goes off, they restore it in a split second.

It's just unfair and lachrymose that Nigeria expects everyone to be rich to enjoy basic things that people enjoy in even poorer countries in Africa.

In America where this vehicle is produce, I know so well that their will charging station at oworoshoki and two or the three at the middle of the bridge, and at least one at the end of the bridge.

But having said this does the driver ignore the warning sign or just trying his or her luck?

People don't realize that these people in power don't really have our affairs at hand. I and a friend of mine met with one of the close associates of the Imo State governor (Hope Uzodimma) so he'll help us get access to the governor to submit a proposal that would've greatly helped the security situation in the state. The man told us that, while our idea was great, he has to be honest with us and told us that if the government doesn't see an avenue to use the proposal to collect funds, they wont approve it.
I was disgusted. That was where everything ended
