Kobojunkie:
That is what Nigeria has been doing for almost 30-something years now. It has refused to invest heavily in building new power generation facilities but has instead resorted to playing psychological 419 games on its customers. And Nigerians keep celebrating nonsense ignoring the fact that no progress is being made in all of this.

You will always be bitter, toxic and negative. The real and sustainable gains in power supply has been aided by the transformational work the Minister of power has done to increase distribution capacity and efficiency with a combined and holistic mix of making more money available to DISCOs (distribution companies) through tariff increases, across bands, and tighter disciplinary regulations to make contractual minimum targets enforceable against DISCOs who operated very sloppily under GEJ and Buhari.

Stop coming here daily to spread ignorant, toxic and bitter energy when you have likely not set foot in Nigeria for like 15 years or more.

Una too dey like to dey blow useless o-blow! Nigeria has not improved noticeably in its generation capacity in almost 30 years. In that same period, it hasn't improved noticeably in its transmission and distribution capacity, but somehow I am bitter, toxic, and negative for stating these facts. Nigerians and their Audio/Propaganda government always trading audio improvements.

Sure, sure, I am also to blame for why your Nigerian politicians have been f-king with your lives for all this time too... don't stop now! 😂😂😂😂😂

Kobojunkie:
What you describe is impossible because Nigeria is still not generating and distributiing more than has previously been reported all this time. So you need to narrow your frame a whole lot. .

Post like this confirms how wicked, devilish and anti-Nigeria some of you are. You live in the USA and have done so for decades. Yet you continue to argue negatively about a Country you don't visit and should not even be commenting on.

I dare you to start a topic asking Lekki resident about power supply over the past 3 - 4 months. Start it by declaring anyone who lies will be cursed to lifetime failure. See if every genuine and God-fearing Lekki dweller, even if they hate Tinubu, won't confesses power supply has improved immensely.

What you are too ignorant and arrogant to understand is that issues are not about generation alone as your foolishly assume. Distribution Was very inefficient. The issues started with GEJ who sold our DISCOs (distribution companies) to cronies without the capacity, expertise and finance to run them well.


Adelabu has come in to present a cohesive and consistent policy of minimum targets, backed by availability of more operational funds through tariff increases, for all distributions companies to achieve with accompanied threats of contract termination for erring DISCOs.

That is what has made the difference. Generations will improve also in the next two years and the reality is that Nigeria will likely have near optimally reliable power supply in the next 5 to 8 years even if bitter and toxic haters like you keep shooting your ignorant mouth negatively.

Clown. A woman as well who should be a nurturer. We who live in Nigeria are blowing "useless o-blow" yet you who has lived in USA for decades and likely has not visited Nigeria in ages know best and even better than us who have business, personal and patriotic interest in Nigeria. Some of you need to check yourselves.

You are a bitter, unfulfilled and unhappy person, IMO, but you just don't know it. Take it from me that I am not a lackey of any government. Progress for Nigeria is the only thing that motivates me and not devotion to camps, individuals, ethic group, political Parties or interest groups. Stop arrogantly denouncing what your American life means you are not qualified to understand about the proven reality of Nigeria.

Confess when last you visited Nigeria to warrant your offensive negativity about the reality those of us who live, work and exist in Nigeria are confirming to you.

Bro, no need for long talk. State where you live and let those who live there back or shame you here and now. I can tell you I live at Lekki phase one off admiralty way. Let my nairaland neighbours come and state their street and deny my claim power has improved to the best it has been since 1999 in our part of Lagos if I am lying.

My folks in Surulere and virtually all parts of Lagos confirm same.

So says a bitter and toxically hateful bigot with no shame. You mission is to damn the Tinubu and "Yoruba" government with lies regardless of how ridicous such are. Oga, where do you live? Give your State, LGA and Street/District let other Nigerians, not as bigoted or as hatefully toxic as you are, confirm or deny your claim.

We are in the information age. It is not enough to make wild claims. Give precise information. A school friend of mine is a senior official of EKCD. I can ask him to do a real time electricity extrapolation of your area, anywhere in Nigeria, to confirm or deny your claim. You think this is the 1960s you can just make silly claims to discredit those you hate cheaply?

Oga, tell us your State, LGA and street/District or shut up. Dem say, dem say will not do in this day and age. There is virtually nowhere in Nigeria power supply has not improved, because of better distribution efficiency, other than places with transformer and physical component challenges or historical disconnection with the national grid.

Most LGA's with decent physical infrastructure, of the over 700 in Nigeria, have experienced improved power supply because of improved distribution efficacy. Our Discos ( distribution companies) were cruising under GEJ, the originator of the privatisation scam, and indifferent Buhari whose approach was gradualist at best. Educate yourself and stop hating evilly.

OH SHUT UP.

IGBO LIAR FULL OF HATE.

Claim: The minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu claimed that over 40% of power customers in Nigeria enjoy over 20 hours of power supply.

He said "The major achievement is the fact that today we generate over 5,500 megawatts of power, we transmit and distribute it, and over 40 percent of customers today enjoy over 20 hours of regular power supply across the nation. You can see that there is a significant improvement between when we came in and now, which we intend to improve further”.


Verification The minister said that Nigeria is generating over 5,500 megawatts.
In 2021, NERC announced peak generation of 5,584 megawatts. So there's nothing spectacular about current generation. https://dailytrust.com/national-electricity-grid-hits-5584mw-as-highest-peak/

More than 20 hours of power supply applies to only band A.
15% of all customers are on Band A. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.channelstv.com/2024/04/03/breaking-fg-increases-electricity-tariff-for-band-a-customers/amp/

The percentage of feeders that fall under band A is 17% which services 15% of the customers.
https://nairametrics.com/2024/04/03/nerc-increases-electricity-tariffs-for-band-a-customers-to-n225-kwh/

With a population of 180 million people, there's no way that 40% will enjoy from paltry 5,000 megawatts.

Verdict: The claim by the minister is false and misleading. 15% are enjoying more than 20 hours of power supply in Nigeria.

Why do you care? IPOB TERRORIST.

Nigeria doing well is directly contrary to your hateful secessionist philosophy.

So you lack credibility.

I don't answer stupid questions.

One with a working brain will look at what is being generated and compare it with the population of Nigeria.

5,000 megawatts for 180 million people is enough for 40% of Nigerians? Only dumb folks will believe the minister.

Thank you bro. A man is no longer decent when hate dictates even his most basic thought. Distribution efficiency has been the key. That silly kobojunkie, a USA diasporan for like 2 or 3 decades now, comes her daily to poison the mind and sensibilities of gullible Nigerians as if the USA she resides in is utopia.

In terms of potentials for greatly improved industrialisation, the West is done. It is Africa that has unlimited potentials if only Africans can begin to embrace positivity and hard work that can truly unlock our potentials.

The improvement in power supply has been amazing and debunked lies that Nigeria is hopeless. This improvement is mainly due to tweaking efficiency in the distribution sector. Imagine if generations, as planned, increases 40% in the next 10 or so years? Nigerian will gain optimal and reliable power in the next 15 years meaning massive industrialisation and a march towards developed nation status.

Yet sadist and haters come here daily to satisfy their lust for spreading negativity. They try to drown every positive development with lies ignorant denials and deceptive assertion. I have asked them all to drop the name of their State, LGA, Street/District yet no takers so far.

This is why I am a fan of quality education, as I received, that will allow most Nigerians to own their own mind and reasoning.

Frustrated loser, I aks again, name your State, LGA and Street/District. You are shaming yourself, with your naked dance, as a bitter and toxic bigot. I live and work in Lekki phase 1. Almost 48 hours of uninterrupted power supply from Sunday.

Let those who live there shame me if I lie. Similarly as folks who live where you name will shame or support your claim. Simple.

You and that Kobojunie are such olodos not to understand that the praise for power supply today is not about generation. It is about improved distribution. Go and find out, as homework for you and that airhead kobojunkie, the inefficiency of getting generated power optimally into residences and businesses across Nigeria because of poor distribution and transmission. Dullard.

Where were you and that brain dead Kobojunkie when Adelabu made his mission statement in April about unbundling DISCOs (distribution Companies) along State lines, shown below, to drastically enhance distribution efficiency? You are sad, ignorant, hateful and pathetic.


https://punchng.com/poor-power-supply-govs-hire-consultants-to-break-discos-monopoly/#google_vignette

Five distribution companies are currently under the management of banks and AMCON due to their inability to repay their loans to financial institutions.

The Abuja DisCo is under the management of the United Bank of Africa, while Fidelity Bank manages the Benin DisCo, Kaduna DisCo and Kano DisCo.

The Ibadan DisCo is under the AMCON management.

Addressing the Senate Committee on Power on Monday, Adelabu said, “We are unbundling the DisCos along state lines.

“Some of the DisCos are too big for efficiency. They are too big for effectiveness. Ibadan DisCo covers seven states. It is practically impossible for them to be efficient.

“So, we are rearranging and restructuring the DisCos along state lines, so that each state government will know the responsible DisCo for their states. Also, the federal and state governments should start exercising their rights in the operation and management of the DisCos, because we still own 40 per cent of the firms.

“But, we have left it for the private sector operators for too long, and they have messed it up. The government must return to take over its rights in the DisCos. We are also planning to franchise the un-served communities under the DisCos,” Adelabu said.

Even AI knows where Nigeria is heading:

My question to AI (ChatGPT)

''Describe Nigeria in the year 2060.''

Response:

....................

By 2060, Nigeria could be a dynamic and rapidly evolving nation, capitalizing on its vast resources, youthful population, and growing technological advancements. Here's a potential vision of Nigeria in 2060:


Economy and Technology

Nigeria might emerge as a leading African economy, driven by diversification away from oil dependency. Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind could be major contributors to the nation's power grid, reducing the energy gap that hindered growth in previous decades. With advancements in AI, quantum computing, and blockchain technology, Nigeria may become a hub for digital innovation, attracting foreign investment and cultivating a robust tech-driven economy.

Smart cities like Lagos, Abuja, and emerging tech hubs might integrate AI and IoT technologies, making urban living more efficient. Public transportation, healthcare, and education systems could be powered by AI, providing tailored solutions and bridging previous disparities in these sectors.


Political Landscape and Governance

By 2060, Nigeria could have reformed its political structures, potentially embracing technology in governance, such as AI-powered decision-making tools to tackle corruption, improve transparency, and foster more efficient administration. E-governance might allow for smoother interactions between citizens and government institutions, while biometric voting systems could ensure more secure and credible elections.

While there may still be challenges such as ethnic diversity and regional interests, Nigeria could develop a more united national identity, with regional inequalities gradually addressed through progressive policies.


Social Progress and Culture

A vibrant cultural revival could be seen in 2060, where Nigeria reclaims and promotes its traditional religions, arts, and languages. The younger generation, empowered by education and technology, may lead movements to preserve and showcase Nigeria’s rich heritage globally, while also integrating global trends into local expressions.

Women might hold more significant leadership positions in government, business, and tech industries, contributing to a more balanced societal structure. With an educated populace, issues like gender equality, healthcare access, and social welfare could see significant improvement.


Education and Healthcare

The education system might evolve with AI-driven personalized learning, where students receive tailored educational experiences that adapt to their skills and interests. Vocational and tech-driven programs would be widespread, preparing the youth for the future economy.

Healthcare in Nigeria might be largely digital, with AI diagnostics, telemedicine, and wearable health devices enabling early detection of diseases. The healthcare infrastructure could be stronger, reducing mortality rates and improving life expectancy across the nation.


Environmental Sustainability

By 2060, Nigeria might be at the forefront of Africa’s green revolution. With an expanding middle class, sustainable living practices could become a norm. Urban agriculture, clean energy, and eco-friendly manufacturing processes might dominate the landscape. Technological advancements in agriculture may ensure food security despite challenges like climate change.

Efforts to preserve Nigeria's diverse ecosystems, from rainforests to savannahs, could be more robust, with significant strides made in environmental conservation.


Global Influence

As Africa's most populous country, Nigeria could have solidified its place as a major geopolitical player on the global stage. Nigerian leadership might play a key role in shaping African continental policies and fostering pan-African unity. Internationally, Nigeria could be a critical voice in global discussions on technology, energy, and climate change, representing the interests of the Global South.

In 2060, Nigeria might be a nation that has harnessed its potential, standing as a beacon of African ingenuity, resilience, and progress.

I believe AI is 100% right. All its conclusions are fairly obvious considering Africa, and especially Nigeria with her huge resources and population, is the only continent that has an imminent and potentially brand new industrialisation age to usher in.

Managed well, the bright future of Nigeria is assured and that is why I believe we must get governance and political leadership right. Perhaps we will also need to consider an agency to engage in humanitarian 'culling' of some worthless Nigerians also. Like the OP of this thread. Lol.
