You should be ashamed of yourself, championing the current state of the power supply .

When u can't produce , even Thailand won't come out to champion rubbish including thier 3 hours of no light daily

Don't mind that worthless fool. They stuck him behind a laptop on salary of 30k per month to defend incompetence and failure, morning till night, oloshi thinks he is living a meaingful life.

5k megawatt for 200milion people?? This is not worth celebrating atal. South Africa with just 50m people is generating over 28k megawatts,imagine. USA almost 150k megawatts! So whats worth celebrating in a temporarily stable and meagre 5k megawatt which will even trip off in few days time in d name of grid collapse. Some towns in akwa ibom and rivers have not had light for 3years but their govts are busy building ten lane roads and flyovers. No be juju b dat?? undecided undecided

We are talking about Nigerians here. They are easily impressed...and easily fooled.

Ode, I said among DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, it is a fact that the bigger the country (eg India, Pakistan, Bangladesh), the more acute the power problems. So why are you mentioning Russia and China? Are those developing nations?

As far as power generation, Nigeria's issue is not power generation capacity but rather power distribution. So asking us to name Pakistan's generation is irrelevant. Nigeria's installed power generation capacity is over 13,000 megawatts which is sufficient in the short to medium term. The ongoing Siemens power deal (which you know nothing about) is aimed at improving the national grid and its distribution capacity, so that the nation can generate and distribute more power across the country.

I heard Siemens wants to take over from the current distribution company. Is that true?

ABEG SHUT UP. Power supply takes a long while to get right for a huge population like Nigeria.

South Africa has been building power infrastructure since the 1800s while Nigeria's first power plant, Kainji dam, was commissioned only in 1964 after independence, since all the British colonisers did was loot.

If they elect you, you will encounter the same difficulties of previous leaders.

Probably countries like Ghana started building their own power plant since the time before the first world war. Smh.

It's a yearly occurrence during rainfall season, people experience better power supply during rainy season, I don't understand why you are going around insulting people, Siemens deal you talk about has barely started, equipments are still being brought in.
it hasn't started and equipment are being brought in?funny English. In my area o the light we've had this year we've not had since abacha time 1994-98.were having 21 hours light on the average and last month 48hours uninterrupted light.they"re trying on this one.the $16billion obasanjo spent on power didn't produce this kind of result

Developing nations are not ''failed, failing countries''. THEY ARE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES.

This misunderstanding of the world is why so many of you are drowning in inferiority complex, because you think being in development is ''failure''.

You talk of China in 1960. Are you prepared to do what China did to get where they are today?

Are you aware that China banned all imports for 3 decades or more up till the 1990s, forcing everyone but the very richest to go around in bicycles, and buy ONLY made in China goods, regardless of product quality?

When your daddy was driving that Peugeot 504 or Mercedes 280s in the 1980s, his Chinese counterpart was riding a bicycle to work.

And all this was enforced by a brutal one party dictatorship that murdered and jailed countless millions of opposition figures, in a brutal, repressive crackdown that remains till today, with no real freedoms or human rights.

ARE YOU READY TO GO THROUGH THAT IN NIGERIA TODAY in order to be industrialised and self sufficient in the next 20 to 30 years?

If you're not, then don't compare yourself with China.

You people only see the shiny bright lights of these countries, but you don't take the time and effort to learn what they actually did to attain their wealth.

The USA and Europe gained all their wealth by enslaving and looting the entire world population, destroying civilizations left, right and centre.

Do you wish to take that path? Oya go and invade your neighbours and seize their land and resources and kill their people.

That's what Britain and co did to be rich.

Don't just admire those countries. Study what they did to be rich and developed.

If you cannot replicate their evil, then don't feel inferior to them.

wow wow
Now you’ve raised my hope on Nigeria.
Please can I know your line of job ? I’ll love to be your friend. See as you Dey school all of dem .. I wanted to attack you also but I can see I know nothing on the topic at hands. Most of us are so pessimistic!

MUMU. Which ''most countries'' have solved power issues?

Is it not your colonised head that makes you think ''most countries'' are industrialised western countries like USA, UK, and Germany?

For your information, those 'advanced' nations make up less than 25% of the world.

MAJORITY of nations on Earth are developing nations like Nigeria, and they ALL have power supply issues, from India to Pakistan to Bangladesh, Kenya, Mozambique, Paraguay, Jamaica, Ghana, Tanzania, Sri Lanka, Algeria, Venezuela, Ivory Coast, Zambia, Guatemala, Malawi, Nepal, and other countries you know nothing about.

See his mouth like ''most countries''. HOW MANY OF YOU know anything about country beyond USA, UK, Germany, Holland, China, France and 'Dubai'?

You don't know the real world of 200+ countries, so SHUSH.

NO WORRIES. I CAN SCHOOL THESE KIDS EASILY BECAUSE THEY KNOW NOTHING APART FROM NEGATIVITY AND DISGRUNTLEMENT.

The way they moan and groan you would never believe they are barely one generation removed from starving, rag wearing, illiterate village peasants under colonial subjugation.

Majority of them are living lives their grandparents could only dream of. They have education, expensive gadgets, smartphones, cars and business opportunities staring them in the face everywhere they look, including on their smartphones.

These are people whose grandparents rode creaky bicycles in the village IF they were well-to-do.

Yet all they know is to complain and groan morning till night, and consider their country ''failed'' because it is not developed like Japan or America.

Useless generation of loafers.

SIEMENS ARE ALREADY HERE. It was the 'covid pandemic' that delayed their work, as the contract was signed in early 2020 just before the 'pandemic', which stopped all work and shipments worldwide for nearly 2 years. Now the contract execution is back on full steam, and it is really just a question of time before Nigeria witnesses an explosive and stunning improvement in power supply.

And when that happens in the next 2 to 3 years under a new administration, Nigerians should remember to commend the Buhari administration for initiating it.
This is what I want to hear.

No problem. The deal is officially known as the Presidential Power Initiative, and the aim is to provide Nigeria with 25,000 megawatts of electricity by 2025. Here it is:
