Blue Camel Criticises Oyo State Government Over Failure Of Street Lights by naptu2(op): 4:51pm On Apr 28, 2022

In recent days many people on the Internet have criticised the Oyo State Government for the failure of the street lights in Ibadan. People on Nairaland, Twitter and Facebook say that the street lights in Ibadan have not been functioning because the Oyo State Government has not been able to buy diesel.

Blue Camel Energy is a company that has installed solar street lights in many cities in Nigeria. They made a proposal to the Oyo State Government to deploy solar powered street lights in the state, but the proposal was not accepted. Blue Camel has now taken to Twitter to criticise the Oyo State Government's decision to power street lights with diesel generators.

Blue Camel Energy @bluecamelenergy

Blue Camel Energy made a submission to Oyo state Govt. 3 years ago for the deployment of its 5years warranty Solar Street lights, the like of what we executed in Jos, Kaduna, Gombe, Owerri & currently on-going in Yola. Their opex for the first 5years is @ Zero cost. They Went 4Diesel.

Now the Diesel powered streetlights are no longer sustainable….a whole waste of scarce resources in addition to tons of carbon foot print.
@NCPDI1 Again the street lights are assembled in Nigeria while the Diesel is refined abroad….capital flight. @oyostategovt

Not only in Oyo, but mostly all Nigeria state. Maintenance, we lack it. Even here in lag, few are working.

The governor knows that Solar powered street lights are better and more economical than diesel-powered ones, but he went for the diesel because of kickbacks to his cronies.

Re: Blue Camel Criticises Oyo State Government Over Failure Of Street Lights by Nobody:
They are trying to light up Oyo o.
I know of some that are being powered by solar in Oke-Ogun, Eruwa, Saki area & others.
They are all powered by solar.
Who go use diesel in this owolowon epo solar powered technology?
That Blue Camel abi Blue Boat Butter company is jealous.
And it's jealousy that ll kill them.
If I m Oyo State Gov, I won't patronise them.
They v the guts to ridicule a potential customer instead of accepting their disappointment in good faith, keep on improving too woo better contract in future.
Bad losers forming intellects!
Container fall on your head office building!
Re: Blue Camel Criticises Oyo State Government Over Failure Of Street Lights by joey150(m):
Why should a state government sign off on using desiel generators to power ordinary street lights?

Of course someone has to make money out of the desiel and generator maintenance contract.

Nigerians are seasoned experts at cheating eachother. From top to bottom.

It's never about service, it's always about how to rip off the other person or make more for myself.

Nonsensical nonsense. Any project that will not give evil politicians reoccurring money to loot everyday, such a project will not see the light of the day.

No single Nigerian political will make Heaven

The person that typed that stuff for the oyo state government doesn't know about the technology they presently use at all. Maybe he doesn't know that solar lamps use LED and not incandescent bulbs. I guess what he meant to write was that they preferred AC powered LED to DC powered LED by solar panels and lithium batteries

cool


How can Seyi Makinde decide to power streetlight with Mikano generator instead of Solar panels in 2022

Well he gave PDP and Atiku some shares of Oyo State loot through Mikano Generators and diesel supply

As long as Atiku, Elite and PDP are in charge of Power distribution companies, Generator importation, Trailer Transport logistics and own most diesel tank farms Nigeria isn't going anywhere

Why is blue camel using their account to post on Twitter. Why not go anonymous or will this help in securing contracts

Re: Blue Camel Criticises Oyo State Government Over Failure Of Street Lights by Siberia01(m): 5:31pm On Apr 28, 2022
huh
Why won't they go for diesel when Nigerians are thieves ..

Just like all the solar street lights installed in some major roads in Uyo

All have been vandalized... Non is working

Except the generator powered ones ...

Same for all the abokis stealing manhole covers....

Exposing drainages

The city is currently been messed up by foreigners ...

Too many people are rushing into the city

I don't think blue camel has the right to criticize Oyo state government for failure to accept their project's proposal. The act is unprofessional and laced with envy. Using their account to tweet has exposed further their shameful act. It's like when a seller is accusing a customer or potential customer of not buying from his/her store. No be by force to buy na.

Meanwhile, It amazes me how some people still hail the current government of Oyo state whose performance has been abysmal in all sectors. Everything in the state is static and depleting badly, from infrastructure, security, economic to basic amenities.

Imagine using combustible ( fuel) to power street light when a remote village in Burkina Faso uses solar powered street light on their transport routes. There are crazy set of people in this country mehn!
