If they give you common LGA chairmanship, nobody will see you on Nairaland again, and you will turn big man overnight with the peoples’ money.

You are all loud and radical until you see budget billions staring you in the face.

this one is justifying stealing. His point is, we all would steal if given the opportunity. Dude, not everyone is like you.

Must it alway b in dollars. .

I Can Provide Stable Power In Eight Months - Fashola

This country mata tire me. What cost other countries N1000 to do will cost N1m in naija

I feel offended by this Adelabu. Everytime he talks, I feel so offended and irritated.

He is so annoying!

Shameless thiefs

In other words no stable electricity should be expected in Nigeria forever. Indeed power supply has now become rocket science to the thieving APC government.

Believe a Yoruba man promise @ your own peril

Criminal Statement from a Criminal....

$10bn that you plan to Embezzle with nothing to show for it...

Go and Learn from Ghana...

They are not receiving that much on a yearly basis but have celebrated more than 2 decades of constant power supply.

Criminal Minister

Olodo*rabata, is Ghana the same size as Nigeria in terms of population and land mass? What is exactly the basis for your comparison?

10,000,000,000 USD if you divide it among 100,000,000 household in Nigeria it will give approximately 100usd monthly .. give us 24/7 steady light aot of Nigerians are willing to give pay 100usd for light monthly

Sack him early
He’s bereft of solutions, all he knows is increasing prices for little or no electricity

You guys just talk without evidence, Ghana is battling serious power outages, Google is your friend, use it.

Ogbeni shut up your mouth....

Have you been to Ghana before... ?

I lived there for more than 10 years and never went a week without power through out my stay unlike what you experience in Nigeria ...

I don't need Google to tell me anything about Power supply in Ghana

Ghana is way ahead of Nigeria when it comes to power generation and distribution...

Nigeria needs to learn serious lessons from Ghana when it comes to power generation and distribution.

They may be facing power supply issues at the moment but they will definitely get it right sooner rather than later...

FYI

The current president of Ghana and his party was voted out of power in 2016 because of their failure to improve the ECG

They will not want to make the same mistake this time around and would do all it takes to make sure that the ECG is fully functional.

Ghanians are not like Nigerians that pamper leaders that ensure they live in perpetual darkness ....

If you don't give the Ghana man electricity, he would vote you and your party out of power

The only reason most Nigerians in Ghana don't want to come back home is because of the better power situation in Ghana...... Every other thing is the same in both countries..

So your Criminal Leaders should go and learn how Ghana celebrated 20 years of uninterrupted power supply

Instead of planning to Loot and Embezzle $10bn yearly.

Look at the mirror and call yourself Olodo Rabata.....

You Last Mugu...

Even if the Ghana population is about the same as Lagos and Ogun state combined,

why have your incompetent criminal leaders been unable to provide constant power supply to both states for the past 20 years ?

You Last Mugu supporting criminals and their incompetence.

If your leaders are truly not useless and incompetent, they should ensure that at least only one region in Nigeria enjoys steady power supply for at least 6 months ....

Then after a year they can plan to replicate that success in another region.

But all we hear is massive investments and planned investments that have yield no results since the inception of this democratic dispensation...

And a Last Mugu like yourself will still come online to defend incompetent criminal leaders.

So Pathetic...

Chinekeme idon happen 10 billion wetin, this is what has been itching them what previous once are scared to say, so that when this exact amount of money is been released to them they will have enough to steal and use the little to do an unfinished work, I am 99.9% sure that if by any chance the president give them more than that amount reason that it might not be enough they very happy inside but their face will be saying no the 10 billion will be enough and then at the end of the day they will leave us with unfinished work

crossfm:
Hehehe.

This guy, even if they give him the whole Nigeria budget,he won't still deliver.

You can't build on nothing. These guy is not fit for this position.

He just have us reason he cannot deliver, so that when he is been removed or his time expires after he has finish stealing all the stealable we will not blame him of unfinish work , been that he has already come out and complain.

This yeye ronu man no sabi anything at all..

"IF" you said.
But in the minister's situation, it's no longer "IF". The guy you replied has not been tested yet, but the minister has been tested, but we have not seen any improvements on the electricity since he assumed office.

Ghana's power outage was a very rare occurrence bro and the causes are traceable. Nigeria's case is sheer madness.

10 to 20 years is a wide range.

Instead of listing the solution and action required to fix the problem. This useless minister highlights the funds that they want to steal.

Was that what Ghana did to achieve stable electricity everywhere in d country! Useless Man

See him face like clay wall

Wait first, $10 Billion a Year for 20 Years Just for Stable Electricity? Like really,? and REALLY?
I read that statement from the Minister of Power (one Adebayo Ojo) and honestly, I had to pause.
$10 billion every year, for the next 20 years? That is $200 billion just to give Nigerians what many countries already consider very basic and necessity: i.e., stable electricity. If you’re like me; trying to build, work, raise a family, or just live in this same country, you probably feel both frustrated and a little insulted. If not more
Let’s talk straight, this isn’t about the money. We’ve spent billions before, and still, here we are. Blackouts. Generator noise day and night. Businesses losing money. Students sweating over candles. How is this still our reality? The only reality we have been able to come up with over the few years!

Anyway, here's what I believe we all need to understand, Nigeria already has 13,000 megawatts of installed power generation capacity, but only around 4,000–5,000 MW is delivered. That’s not a generation issue; it is simply a system failure.

Countries like Vietnam (with half our population) have almost full electrification and didn’t need anywhere near $200 billion o.

Even South Africa, despite its challenges, delivers more electricity with a smaller population and less total investment.

So I have to ask, what exactly are we paying for here?

Because the real issues aren’t hidden i.e., Transmission lines are outdated, distribution companies don’t collect or reinvest properly and Gas supply is very unreliable.

Meanwhile, policy changes every other administration o and a constant potential slow down every 4 years if we are lucky!

And let's be honest, corruption and poor maintenance culture continue to eat away at whatever progress we try to make.

We honestly do not need more figures to throw around. What we need is:

Decentralized solutions like solar mini grids, especially for rural areas.

A serious, transparent roadmap, where we can see exactly where the money goes and what progress is being made.

Public-private partnerships that are built on performance and accountability, not political connections (Lagos Ibadan highway - mere 90km or so distance is an example) and above all, a mindset shift. This isn’t rocket science, we’re not trying to colonize Mars. We’re just asking for electricity o. Something the pioneers already conquered over 150 years ago!

The truth is, Thomas Edison commercialized electric power over a century ago. The fact that we’re still talking about achieving stable electricity in 2025 is not a lack of money or intelligence. It’s a lack of execution and political will.

If you’ve ever lost business because of power cuts or sent your kids to school without light to study, or ordinary iron to smoothen your outfit at will - you probably understand this deeply sha.

We truly deserve better. Not inflated budgets. Not another 20-year plan that leads nowhere.

We deserve real, measurable progress and we have every right to demand it as Nigerians / NIGERIANS! simple.

This guy is clueless and a failure! He just making an excuse that if he doesn't improve the energy problems of Nigeria, it's because he didn't get 10billion dollars he needs to get things working, so needs to be sacked immediately, only if Nigeria works. Again, 10billion dollar project in other serious countries are massive investments like railways spanning regions, but same value of 10billion dollars investment in Nigeria is used for rehabilitation of things like refinery, which can build multiple refineries from scratch. That's Nigeria to the world.

Another empty head minister, only succeeded in supplying darkness, from the look is clear he has nothing to offer, look at the outrageous amount he mentioned!

SO NOBODY FIT NACK THIS GUY BOTTLE FOR HEAD? 😣😣😏

Wimkeh:
He just told you guys that it’ll be impossible to achieve 24/7 electricity

Exactly. Sealing the fate of Naija people to achieve a better electricity supply and setting the stage for further looting opportunities. Where the hell did this guy come from? The gods need to nuke the entire cabinet.
