Fighting me will not solve the problem. Nigeria has had an acute electricity problem since the 1970s, and the government has continued with the same solution of building a national grid system that is beyond Nigeria's capability.

The patients' raising their voices forced the hospital to react to what they had been doing for 17 days. Praying in the night, Virgil.

In 2022, Buhari signed a law allowing states to build electricity infrastructure to generate, transmit, and distribute electricity within their state. Nothing happened until this year when the grid collapsed 11 times. My point is that blaming the politicians when the people are docile is a waste of time;

I would rather blame the people who are not protesting against the hopeless service. I live in the UK, where electricity started in regions such as Northern Electricity and Scottish and then grew into national electricity.

Nigeria has been importing refined oil for 40 years at the expense of investing and developing local electricity. In 2012, the NLC and opposition politicians protested against removing fuel subsidies.

The only way Nigeria will fix it electricity is when there is no electricity to supply as bad as Tinubu is, his hopeless leadership will force Nigerians to standup or die

So why did you make excuses for Fashola's failures in your comment that I quoted

This can be a very frustrating situation for sick patients. They must be fearful for their lives, knowing that their care depends hugely on the availability of power for health and safety reasons, also infection control in the hospital. What the management need is to establish a minigrid of 10 megawatts upward. That will cost about #5 billion, but will definitely lower the bill with IBEDC. The investment will pay itself off with 5 years.

Because I am fed up making excuses for docile Nigerians. How can 220 million people be held very few people. I believe that Fashola had no clue about the state of Nigeria's electricity and was playing politics when he said he could fix it in 6 months. Still, the gullible Nigerians believed him, and the rest is history. Nigeria cannot generate a basic 3000MW in 2024.

You guys are impatient...after all you are patients

Nigeria is a game

What a satanic country

It has less to do with tribalism and more to do with the docile nature of Nigeria. Only Tinubu can force Nigerians to wake up and revolt against this failed country. Very soon, Nigerians will start killing politicians and government officials.

That's not happening bro.... during endsars,the north was outside. If Nigerians wanna protest for say, regionalism or toal restructuring,or resources control,the north will never partake in it.
The last protest against the hardship,the west and SE did not partake.... Only the east have been protesting to opt out of naija......there's nothing we can ever do together in this Nigeria....

Nigerians oughttave been protesting against power outage, activities of agberoes,killer herdsmen,bad roads, monopoly of certain items,commodities by the likes of dangote,etc,many many years ago but affiliations keep holding us down

Ango Abdullahi recently said that Nigeria should be renegotiated and that the 1914 British-Nigeria contract expired in 2014. As the country continues to fail the ability to share oil returns diminished every region will wake up to the reality that Nigeria cannot work

press9jatv:
NAwaooo. Upon huge IGR Uch generates per day, so it’s darkness they are witnessing in the teaching hospital. Very bad

Whaaa da fvck.....17 days blackout in a tertiary health institution...All the management staff of that institution need to be jailed.

Racoon:
Suffering physical illnesses, then utility and infrastructural wahala. Who cursed this nation? Meanwhile, this is the abysmal state of seeking and acquiring healthcare in Nigeria today while its irresponsible and wicked leaders go abroad on health tourism.

who voted for said leaders

OboOlora:
They should release the patients from the psychiatric wards to join lol

Dem go scatter everywhere

God help Nigerians o. If you have the opportunity, please just japa o. Imagine, even the health sector is in shambles. Na wa o !

Public health sector
Private is thriving

fashola was making noise those days,having steady light is not rocket science.they made him minister of power both rocket and science we no see.a country of 60something years can't have steady light.please the criminal that build Lagos should build nigeria na

he is building
Fashola was correct
Not rocket science but social science
Cabals dey wey pass governor and minister and president

TONYE001:
Sad.

The question is, does UCH have to wait for a protest to know that it needs to install alternative sources of electric power?

Na you go pay for the installation. Abi is with sansand

. Or, could it be that it already had these gadgets installed but due to poor maintenance culture, they are no longer operational? I'm tired of reading about reactionary implementations in our country as opposed to proactive reasoning.

Who had your tiredness helped

.
When there's no electric power, both patients and hospital staff are affected. Patients, who are already dealing with the burden of their morbidities, are further saddened as they cannot enjoy services that should be very basic (to charge their phones, hand fans, torches, enjoy fan/AC which will help with mosquitoes and offensive smells, having a brightly-lit ward, water, etc). Nurses and doctors are extremely discomforted too.

Grammar pọ́

.
I still remember my very horrible experiences as the doctor on call in the paediatrics department of my hospital in the nights when there was no power. Though my centre has got rechargeable lights, they don't last all night. Imagine the horror seeing patients with your phone's torch, giving IV medications and doing bedside procedures. Imagine the horror not being able to document on the EMS because the computers are out of power. I was forced to write on paper and transfer my documentations online once power is restored (double work). I won't even talk about the horrible night we were operating on a hepatitis B positive patient and the power suddenly went out...back up generator, for some reasons, didn't come on immediately. Theatre nurses had to provide light with their phones... visibility was not fantastic... imagine the increased risk of having needle pricks.

The lab scientists are not left out too. Once power is not steady, they cannot process their samples and these delays may expose them to harm from violent and anxious patients' relatives.

The porters, cleaners...every staff in the hospital essentially.

So, you can imagine how sad I felt when I read this....it simply brought back horrible memories that no health worker or patient should experience.

We now see that Nigeria's problems are not only resident in Aso Rock. President Tinubu is not the CMD at UCH. He is not the head of the Works Department at UCH.

We are in deep trouble in this country...as I see it, the only way out is for us to look inwards...and stop throwing all the blames to the occupants of Aso Rock.

look inward na

EmekaA125:
Same power supply Mr Adelabu was boasting to have stabilized for 20hr/day the other time. Kai, lying on a national tv is becoming common to these people.

and you believed him
Even if you didn't, wtf are you going to do about it

obojememe:
this is quite disheartening , if i could i will just clear d bills or supply diesel

You could
You won't

Don't fall for that gimmick,he and the north don't mean it! They only just gambling trying to get Tinubu to do their bidding.....the north will be the last to call for renegotiation of the long expired 1914.
They are in deep shtt as the era of freebies for them is going going going everyday...if arewa wants renegotiation,they will throw their weight behind constitutional review and change...they are in serious pensive mood and lost as to what to D byo tinubu...but Tinubu must be very wary of them...I can swear,these guys are planning secretly.

If they mean it,the renegotiating,let them come up,we south will be more glad to welcome them.
That being said,if we south keep bickering with eachother,keep attacking and fighting eachother,we are on a long thing....

A premier university teaching hospital without electricity for 17 days. Sounds like a story from an animal kingdom. No, even zoos have electricity.

Tinubu should have capitalised on the disillusionment of northerners to call for political restructuring of Nigeria which he campaigned for more than 12 years since 1996.
If the political status quo remains till 2027, the northerners will use the skewed and lopsided political structure that favours the north to remove Tinubu from Aso .

The 2023 new electricity bill law has been signed into law ..where states have the right and can generate, transmit, distribute electricity in their states ..so the state governors should implement this new 2023 electricity bill law in their states inorder to have steady and constant power supply...we can see that since this pass years federal government have been in charge and control of electricity light power they are inefficient in it and in the power sector...they cannot provide steady and constant power supply..it's even getting worst....so states should implement the 2023 new electricity bill law in their states

You can't be more far from the truth and they might get strong support from the east if the field an eastern or Niger Delta running mate to someone like Atiku again....once arewa unites and stand behind their own and get the support of the east and SS,then it might be game over for the tinubu in 2027.
The yorubas are not helping matters at all in the home front,they keep antagonising the SE and SS people for just no educated reason! Teaming up with the north to remove Jonathan,a fellow southerner will forever remain a mystery.... The people who attack iPob and nnamdi kanu everyday,na dem. Even the people who fight their own potential liberator,Igboho,na them.
I never had this moniker "afonjaconehead" at the beginning,if you know how much I dislike it....some goddam things kinda get us all intoxicated and the sad thing is,we all getting old everyday.

You are very correct,the north is still in disillusionment and tinubu still got the time and opportunity to do something drastic about the foundation of this long expired nation.





PLEASE IF YOU ARE IN Lagos, PLEASE TUNE IN TO 99.7 FM. THEY ARE PRAISING GOD RIGHT NOW WITH MELODIOUS GOSPEL TUNES. GOD BLESS

I thought the corruption was coming from the heads(directors, executives) of the hospital.

Okay, its the federal government dat gives them money. What about if the government gives them money but the corrupt heads in charge of the hospital will eat it!

Jman06:
It baffles that hospitals and other healthcare institutions under the ministry of health lack adequate finances for their day-to-day activities. These institutions generate sufficient funds but where these monies go into is what I cannot tell. It's as if the government just siphon all the funds being generated by these institutions and channel them into irrelevant areas or loot the funds.

If these institutions start utilizing their IGRs and seldom remit them to government, they'll have more than enough funds to run the hospitals, hire adequate staff strength to man different units of the hospitals and take care of staff salaries and allowances. I think government should give healthcare institutions financial autonomy

They generate funds and remit same to government after looting parts of the funds.

When they have projects to do or need to buy drugs and other consumables, they apply for funds approval from government through the governing council.

Thats exactly what am saying. The hospital heads(directors, executives) are the main culprits.
