He should start first by changing the minister of power.

Do you want the global generator industry to collapse or what else do you not understand?
Hope 30 economies having 24 hours power didn't collapse it na nigera go collapse am

Good of you if that's so that you built your power yourself not that you power it with ready made solar blah blah
Why should I build it myself when I'm building one... It's cheaper to buy

Corruption a big problem
Another problem is that we all want some 30GW power station to be built.
We can 10, 20, 40, 50, 100, 200 MW in very local government. With that we can achieve constant electricity
Building the big ones are very expensive

We can actually criticise government without adding lies. If we don't know, we say we don't know.

We know they are not doing well...but
Why the liehuh

When people talk about electricity as an engineer ( mechanical) I wonder what is difficult about generation and transmission of electricity ooh I have always wandered

To produce electricity you need a magnet and coil of wire... Just move one relative to the other boom u have electricity

The whole nuclear, hydro, gas, steam, coal and the likes are just how to turn the magnet relative to wire coils

Transmission is just aluminum wires ( the most abundant metal on earth) from power plant to distribution centers and those are just big transforms



I still don't get why we don't produce and distribute enough electricity makes little or no sense sha
generator and diesel importers...there you have your answer.

mrvitalis:
Expensive like how much it cost average of 1 million dollars per MW

1 billion dollars per 1000mw

Winners chapel build 15mw for 5 million dollars
If 1 megawatt is 1 billion dollars then how much do we need to get to the level of South Africa at 40 megawatts?
Can we afford at least 35 billion dollars if we subtract the roughly 5 megawatts we currently produce?

GW or MW?
4500 MW is 4.5GW.
Re: Nigeria’s 4.5GW Electricity Generation Is Shameful, Says Tinubu by theowane: 2:24pm On Jul 06, 2024
BAT and APC are a very clueless people. Even my great grand mother in the village knows that it is shameful for Nigeria to generate less than 5000 MW of electricity, ofcourse it is not news, and what is also not news is BAT and APC never gave a road map as to how inadequate electricity/power will be improved when campaigning, so i won't question why it remains so. All of us MUST enjoy the less than 5000 MW and do load shedding where necessary. We MUST "enjoy" this govt together. By the time BAT and APC is through with Nigeria, we won't recognise it. 😆

Sorry, b4 I forget, somebody help me tell Mr President that der is a difference btw Power generation and power transnsmission. You can generate 20,000 MW of power, yet it will be useless if you can't transmit. Please remind him too that our transmission lines are as bad as our generation. Thank you

Mtcheww. He used this 10 years ago to campaign hard against GEJ. 10years after, his Party has made everything worse than any President ever. That's the most shameful fact.
Re: Nigeria’s 4.5GW Electricity Generation Is Shameful, Says Tinubu by F3dan: 2:25pm On Jul 06, 2024
Correct the headline, Nigeria is generating 4.5 MW, not 4.5GW.

1mw is 1 million dollars
You need 40 billion dollars

No body is asking tinubu to build 40,000 mw... We were asking to I prove the existing figure

If by now we produce 6000mw no body would complain

Nigeria is a jungle my brother. Don't put your hope in this country o. Everything is like rocket science to those that are ruling. They will spend years upon years ruling with nothing to show for it. It still baffles me that till date, Nigeria can't boast of stable power supply. And someone will tell me Nigeria will be great.

You want to rent a house, one will be looking up and down for area that manage to have 6hrs power supply per day. You will see a fine house, but no stable light in the area and bad roads.

I will continue to say it, Nigeria will never be great in this generation. Nigeria is too corrupt to be great. Until they take out all those corrupt leaders that are sabotaging the country, the country will never witness massive improvements and development in stable power supply.
Re: Nigeria’s 4.5GW Electricity Generation Is Shameful, Says Tinubu by Atuero(m): 2:25pm On Jul 06, 2024
Tinubu seems like he doesn't know that he is here to solve problems not reminding us of the abundant problems we already know they exist

He has no initiative of his own and that's why he tasking his employees to help him provide solutions

Is that how to design KPI and give out for execution?

Useless mandate thief

https://dailypost.ng/2024/05/03/nigerian-govt-adds-625mw-to-national-grid/
Nigerian installed capacity is 13,000 mw minimum
The issue we can only transmit 5000mw and he hasn't improved that

Don't spin what you said ..you said he hasn't added a simple 100 MW in one year...and that's a lie.

Admit and move on

6000mw? We need more than that. South Africa with about 60 million people are still complaining about their 40000 mw, saying it is not adequate.
6000 mw is still grossly inadequate for Nigeria. It is disgraceful like Tinubu said.

Na why I finally japa from the national grid. Anything wey government wan do no concern me.
You made the best decision my brother. I don't have hope in this country trust me. Nigeria is one very useless country I swear. Very very useless. We struggle for everything. For how long are we going to remain like this.

Other African countries are doing very well for themselves with stable power supply and good roads. But Nigeria? Tueh tueh is her second name.

No wonder some persons burnt their Nigerian passports some time ago after acquiring another passport.

The most useless country on this planet is Nigeria. I am not joking.

So obviously you dont know that Nigeria is the biggest market for generators and that if there is steady light in Nigeria the global generator industry will collapse instantly.

Alusiizizi:
The halfwit that wrote this needs to understand the difference between "Giga" and "Mega". Not even the United States, the most industrialized country on the planed, produces up to 1 Gigawatts talk-less of this poor excuse for a country shit-hole called Nigeria.
Omo, recheck again o. You dey miss things up.

1 gigawatt (GW) is equal to 1,000 megawatts (MW). Therefore, to convert 4.5 gigawatts to megawatts:

4.5 GW×1,000=4,500 MW

So, 4.5 gigawatts is equal to 4,500 megawatts.
