Buhari administration have not done any tangible thing in the power sector for over 7 years he has been in power

What a disaster this man is

And he kept on contesting and contesting as if he has anything to offer.

He deserve to be shot dead.

He has been in power since 2015, and yet, power supply have not gotten better.

Nigeria is a nation of professional complainers, who love nothing more than heaping abuse on whoever happens to be the current president of that nation. Check the roofs in any American neighborhood, and you will see solar panels everywhere, especially on the West Coast and in states like Arizona, Texas, Alabama, Oklahoma, and Georgia, where the sun blazes down with intensity for much of the year.

Matter of fact, American homeowners are encouraged to invest in solar power for their homes and businesses, with tax breaks offered to those who install solar power alternatives, and by allowing owners of solar-powered homes and businesses to SELL their surplus generated power back into the national grid, whereby their electricity consumption meters actually run in reverse, generating credit that is paid back in cash to solar power consumers who remain connected to the national electrical grid.

It is certain that many of the people who make a career out of heaping abuse on successive Nigerian government administrations for their failure to supply enough electrical power have invested MILLIONS of naira to buy noisy, polluting, fuel-guzzling diesel and petrol generators to power their homes and business premises. For a fraction of the money wasted on generators and fuel, those same short-sighted complainers could have purchased solar power systems that would power their homes and businesses silently, with zero pollution and zero maintenance, for years and years.

The choice is yours, pellow kwantirimans. You can continue pointing the finger of blame at the current and future governments in Nigeria, or you can awaken from your stupor and go solar. Solar panels have a lifespan of 25 years before they need replacement. The deep-cycle batteries used to store energy from those solar panels have a lifespan of 3 to 5 years before requiring replacement. Compare that cost to the litany of recurrent expenditure for repair and fuel of noisy generators, and you don't need a college degree to realize that you need to go solar NOW.

QuinModah:
Yes you can pump as long as you set up a different solar for the pumping machine. There is solar inverter AC I will recommend you buy it

Nigeria is now a joke.

“Buhari will handle security and Osinbajo will handle economy”.

The biggest lie since Jesus left the earth.

Tinubu will never benefit from Buhari disaster.

Government has paid trillions in bailout money to the power sector since 2013, keeping it afloat, because the way the pricing is set up, discos and gencos cannot charge at a profit, but at a loss, largely because we Nigerians want cheap power.

Government can help by allowing DISCOS and GENCOS to charge/set prices of power...so that they can make enough of a profit to fix things (and pay government taxes...most of them don't make enough profit to pay state and FG taxes). Nigerians too should, at least some, not all of us, stop bypassing meters, and refusing to pay for the power they use (putting the burden on those of us who do pay)

Also, transmission relies on money it is paid by DISCOS and GENCOS..who aren't earning enough money, because the law setting up privatisiaiton....well, see the paragraph before this.

The way the power went off this evening was strange.... I knew something was wrong.

When govt pays a certain amount, just know that 20% or less of that money is what got to d receiver, d money OBJ spent on NEPA alone was less than wat China used to build the largest generating plant in the world back then. Govt throwing money recklessly doesn't mean they are actually fixing the problem

GloriousGbola:


1)solar is capital intensive
2)batteries in Nigeria are a racket where substandard batteries are sold at premium and give out in 9 months
3)equipment is another racket where low grade Chinese equipment is also sold at premium.

It is not in black and white.

Opolopoopolonio:
This must be why we have suffered power outage for the past 4 hours and counting.

Very unusual...

Since the beginning of this year I have exhausted over 300 liters of fuel. How can I compete with an Indian or Pakistani developer in the freelance market? Nigeria under this administration is designed to kill dreams and businesses

buckeyemedia:
Na Jonathan finalize privatization of electricity 7th November 2013? President Buhari inherited quacks.

Even electricity no dey Ebele village to tell you how Mumurist Jonathan was?

Jakumo:


Wow. Never heard of deep cycle batteries giving out after such a short time as 9 months. That is a truly abysmal lifespan for sure. Fear of Chinese equipment is indeed the beginning of wisdom, and yet, pretty much anything electronic these days is either Chinese-made or contains an abundance of Chinese parts.

You are very stupid, honestly. How did you even conjure up the trick that he is at fault? Your mind is suffering from misdirection, honestly. Instead make una dey blame the Buhari government, you are blaming your fellow citizen and saying he or she is at fault. See craze

The only thing Buhari can do to fix power is by allowing DISCOS to set the price of power, and not the government

Also, those who are not paying for power should be made to pay.

That is all they can do.

P.S : I always took that 'plan to increase power' with a pinch of salt. Especially with the liquidity issues in the country. Besides, it was a long term project...to be finished in 2025. And we need far more than 25000...more like 50000.

PS2. I don't support Buhari, APC or PDP.
