If Nigeria make one nuclear power plant station in the next twenty years, make I bend.

We have the resources to make it sef but maintaining it is the main deal. Unfortunately, Nigeria is very bad with maintenance. It's so sad

Who is Buhari deceiving?

As soon as he came in 2015 he gave the Chinese the only mini nuclear reactor Nigeria had at ABU Zaria.

Now he is talking about using nuclear power to generate electricity. Where is the expertise for that when he has thrown away our chance to develop our talents?

There is a company that takes the waste away from your interim storage points or you can reprocess the waste if such facility is built in the agreement.
Still not workable in Nigeria considering our non -chalant attuide to maintenance.

Why must we pursue nuclear power which pose long term widespread harm to the environment and living things? Why can’t we look to the future and generate clean electricity? We have more than enough sunshine ... all year round... and that's free. What about wind turbines? Why are we looking back and trying to move forward with 20th century technology? Let's not talk about our maintenance culture ... but look at the security threat. Any nuclear reactor is like a huge bomb. The first thing the Russians did in Ukraine was to seize the nuclear power station. If push comes to shove... they blow it up and the fallout will be more than enough to end any opposition. With terrorist and kidnappers running rampant ... and no security... what will happen if BokonHaram storm the plant and make demands?... can the FG say no? If the Europe was blessed with our climate ... would they be seeking nuclear power? With the cost of this project ... what is it's lifespan? ... what is the cost of maintenance? Would the revenue even cover the cost of operation?.. or would the FG have to be taking loans? Is it worth the risk?... and would it be able to generate enough income to maintain itself and service th3 loan? Everything comes with a price ... is it worth it?

For those not in the know, there is actually an ongoing 20 billion dollar deal with a Russian firm to build nuclear plants in Nigeria.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpBIzOaA8Pk
Foolish people. I hhope you idiot know that anything Russia build in this shithole country never worked.
1. The built the Ajeokuta steel plant u till date it has not produced a single metal billet.
2, The lunched our site satellite into space. up till date no benefit from it, and the satellite is currently missing.

Yu are all fools to support Russia and hope for good things from them.

Nigeria is the craziest country I know,. President is ending his tenure and still in campaign mode "I will"
all the nuclear power plants will be useless because the Disco are still rejecting power despite the small amount
being generated, why will they not reject more power then?
We have office of the president not paying power bill
Ministries not paying power bill
Police, Military all owning billions in light bills
Disco then only sending power to high paying customers and leaving large part of the country in darkness
despite having the means to accept power to send to them.

SHORT TERM
The solution to Nigeria's power problem is simple "GOVERNMENT SHOULD PAY FOR POWER"
Cancel the whole Goodluck Jonathan stupid privatisation and pay whatever compensation their lawsuit will bring.
Create a better system of distribution and force everyone to use Prepaid "including the office of the president"

LONG TERM
Cancel fuel subsidy and replace it with power subsidy, meaning everyone gets power for free. "it will be far cheaper
than fuel subsidy cost and you are sure labor will never protest it because everyone stands to benefit"
Pull funds from the excess crude account and establish a 200MW power station in each states.
Lagos and all states close to the coastal area will use wind power.
Oil rich states will focus on gas turbine
the north on dams.
200 x 36 = 7,200 MW
then ensure that the total preinstalled 18,000 MW is repaired and everything is working.
We can establish 25,000 MW in 2 years.
That is how the developed countries developed. We celebrate mediocracy here in Nigeria.
Look at the presidential candidates and you will weep for this country.

In as much your idea is solid, u can't site a nuclear facility in such a populated area like Lagos. Imagine if something goes wrong or some of its components end up being vandalised which leads to radiation poisoning, E go affect all man for Lagos. It should rather be situated in a remote location where there is also enough source of water so that in case of any issues, it can be contained Asap
We have remote areas in Lagos. There many of such in coastal areas of Lagos in Epe , Ikorodu and Badagry and those places are sparsely populated yet cheap to move the electricity to the huge markets in Lagos and Ogun. It is far more expensive to move it from farther locations to where the market is

Guy, this is Nigeria...... Don't put your head down for it. Signed or not signed, Buhari or no Buhari, anything can happen. Starting a project is not as good as completing it. How long will the project take, how many months did buhari has to vacate seat? do you know who will take over?

It is too early to celebrate victory when the contest never start.
Then the masses will ensure the project is completed. Keeping quiet is the reason for past abandoned projects. Everyone is involved both the leaders and the subordinates. Nigeria belongs to everyone and not just some group of people

Why on earth are we going into nuclear.
We never harness Sun and water and wind energy. Just another abandoned project and money pit to siphon money from the masses.
Utilize and implement the easier solutions that starting nuclear.

Na e I dey talk. We never utilize Sun ( Sun Panels) , wind and even water ( how many dams we get ? ) we what to start nuclear.
I disagree with you on removing fuel unless you are giving the money directly into the hands of the masses like a N2000 monthly cheque for all those earning a certain amount monthly removing fuel subsidy will start riots . Giving everyone power is not possible. As most people are invested in inverters.

More Ignorant rubbish.

Why haven't the nuclear reactors Nigeria has been operating since 1987 blown up and caused radiation poisoning across the nation?

Lemme guess: You had no clue we had nuclear reactors in Nigeria.

Another guess: You haven't a clue what nuclear reactors even are.

SEE, MANY OF YOU SWIM IN IGNORANCE. You don't know anything yet you're full of opinion - 99% negative.

Just shuush..

If you want to LEARN about Nigeria's nuclear program, as opposed to sitting in your backyard lazily dismissing it based on nothing but PREJUDICE, then go on GOOGLE. There is a lot to read about it.

The negative minds is what many of us suffer from online and that's why we've gone silent.

You can't say anything without a bandwagon of pro-negatives clamping down on your ideas as fake,lies,unattainable,scam etc

Nairaland has some of the largest amount of low-IQs humans on earth, so it is what it is.

Mind you, they will never speak factually or choose to pause and research before speaking. What they care for is to not win the arguement rather than learn in areas they know nothing about.


Fools have taken mainstream conversations and are dominating it


I recall having a very heated debate on transatlantic sub-sea gas pipelines to export gas supplies to Europe a year ago before now it recently become a regular discussion following the search for alternatives to Russian gas supplies to Europe and the quest for Niegria to take advantage of the vacuum Russian gas supply would mean for Europe. So many came after me stating i was wrong and it was impossible to send gas to Europe and the idea never existed which i said were already laid out in early 2000s-2001.


Nigerians prefer to argue than to discuss factually
Thank you. I don't spare these negative-minded animals. I CALL THEM WHAT THEY ARE - STUPID, IGNORANT, NASTY, SELF-HATING, BRAINWASHED FOOLS DROWNING IN INFERIORITY COMPLEX. SCUM OF THE EARTH, AND WORTHLESS.

They think this thread is about asking them for permission or asking their opinion, about the nuclear program. It is not.

It is simply to INFORM them of what Nigeria is doing, regardless of what they think.
