Someone once told us that, to produce electricity is not rocket science.

Corruption will not let any tangible development flourish in this country.

We'll continue deceiving ourselves

Nigeria my country oo.

Anyways check my recent content on X.
You will love it!

Nigeria would continue to have the numbers as long as we don't control population or educate the majority about family planning.
Qatar has 2.6 million people, UAE 11 million people, Nigeria has 230 million people. The simple math is that Lagos alone as small has it is, has to cater for more people than Qatar and UAE combined. These are people with attitude, entitlement and false smartness. You can be sure that the struggle will likely continue due to a faulty foundation. This is regardless of party or tribe. Religion also plays a part, because the Islamic form of evangelism and dominion in our part of the world is aggressive birth, this is aside jihad. So a society that has 30 christians and 20 muslims today will have about 100 muslims and 40 christians in about 15 years. Why? Our northern muslims need the numbers, others don't really care to have the numbers. The general remaining part of the muslims will have more wives and children legitimate and illegitimate, while the christains either divorce, do baby mama, marry late, etc. We're headed to something bad evidently except God takes the wheel.

Bunch of rubbish you wrote up there. As if other countries are not populated. This kind of mindsets from a country citizens ( a 5th world country for that matter) is the reason why that country will always remain stagnant.

..this write up, this type of thinking does not make sense..Do you know the population of China, India, Mexiko..?

..stop diverting the blame from incompetent riggers, snatchers & drug lords..when you have the right leaders, all your excuses will stop being what they are..excuses..

Nonsense. World bank will always talk rubbish about Naija because they fear us and our potential but they will always talk nice things about countries like South Africa that have weak, useless leaders who follow their rules . They will always opress Naija in their rankings because we are giant of Africa and we are the only hope for Africa to rise because all these Africans are failures unlike Nigerians who are much smarter and hardworking.

Kindly stop parroting these false claims that population size equates to poverty or underdevelopment.

Small countries = smaller work force = slower development but that hasn’t stopped them.

Isn’t it ironic that Dubai with an indigenous population of 3.5m plays host to over 18million visitors annually?
Ask yourself how does their infrastructure absorb the physical, environmental and financial burdens? Simple-planning!

Nigeria’s stunted growth is our own doing. China made good use of its labor force that they’re suffocating the world with production.
I tell you this, cut Nigeria’s population by 2/3 and our corrupt leaders would have more to steal than develop the country. CUT GOVERNMENT SPENDING AND SEE TRUE DEVELOPMENT!

Lastly, some infrastructure are population dependent, schools, hospitals for example, but electricity, water, road, whether 1 billion citizens or 1 Million it shouldn’t matter. I bet you if we were neighbors with Russia they’ll comfortably supply us electricity and not break a sweat.

A large population isn’t the problem.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
To some extent
Do you remember the Malthusian theory where population grows geometrically and food production grows arithmetically? This is the case of Nigeria today and the political, traditional, religious leaders are doing nothing about it! This can only lead to catastrophy of epic proportions of which is witnessed today in certain parts of the country.

you get the point,the leaders still the reason and not our population

Sheuns:
Cho Cho Cho.

India has a population of over 2 billion persons and have very poor people just like Nigeria but they have solved electricity problems.

You leave out the bad leaders that loot all the common wealth and blame the people for birthing.

No sir, the problem of reliable and affordable electricity supply is still ongoing in India, particularly in rural areas. Also, they don't have the poor foundation and disunity that we have in terms of tribe, religion and deliberate neglect. Nigeria is getting better BTW.

i did not say that a large population is the problem. i said that a large population easily gives us the numbers both positively and negatively.

specialmati:
even if we are 10000 in number with the criminals with bullion vans we have as president.it will still be the same.there is a reason nigeria wont have stead electricity all over the country.

That one too is there, but it is being solved. Our numbers will always put us up there.

If you don’t have 2 or 3 power banks in this country, you’re not ready, that’s just the truth. Whether you use an Android or an iPhone, that’s the reality of living in Nigeria.

Above 30 million people are still without electricity in India despite the great strides made. They don't all have our problem. Like i said, our problems are foundational. All those countries we love to mention were united from the start, either by same majority tribe or religion. How do you compete with a people that were deliberately left with the least to lead us instead of the best?

Noted.

Nigeria has cheap labor, which many European countries wish they had. Our illiterate leaders are too stupid to exploit this rare commodity.
Imagine, tackling security and urging a car manufacturer to open a plant in Nigeria with an hourly pay of $2, in 10 hours that $20, in 20 days $400 - that’s over 600,000 NGN and the government takes its tax. Note this is for unskilled labor.

In my opinion, population is not the issue. Rather, population should give us strength. The only issue with population is that the people who have so many children will experience a lower standard of live. China is about 6 times as populous as your country. Ditto for India. USA is about 1.5 times as populous as Nigeria. Indonesia is about 1,2 time as populous, while Pakistan is about 1.08 as populous as your country. These countries did not become indigent as sub-human like Nigeria. Instead, they are superpowers.

The problem with your country is corruption amongst the leaders and complacency amongst the citizenry. If you yourself takes over power and decide to fix only electricity and mean it, you will in 2 years or less. It is no rocket science. Even Nigeria decides to invest only on solar for every community or household, the journey to electrifying Nigeria will be completed in less than 1 year.

The president left such issues that bother Nigeria and is busy playing politics. State of emergency should have been declared in the power sector, Security, Agriculture. If he doesn't any other thing, trust me, Nigeria will be better than it was at the end of Obasanjo's regime.

But no, he is interested in Rivers state. He has to give Wike all the money he needs to secure 2027 for him. And Nigerians just sit and look.

Your national budget states that they will construct one street light with 250m, just one street light. And nobody is asking them questions. This is something you and I know you can achieve with 2m, a fully functional automated, solar-powered, plus the profit a contractor will have on top.

They quoted to use 200m or so for one borehole project and nobody is asking questions. Please ask VDM how much he spent installing borehole. Ask Peter Obi how much he spent installing boreholes in those communities he did.

Please don't blame the families who have excess children, it is their personal problems and has nothing to do with the prosperity of the nation, rather it impacts their personal pockets. Until the governed rises against the leaders in Nigeria, the downward trend will continue. It will get to a point where the average Nigeria will be living like an animal. A point where the politicians can't even control anymore.

Firebox123:
what about obasanjo and Jonathan

What do you achieve during their era

@Firebox123 and @Letmecum
Please you guys should stop attacking yourselves and face your leaders. What you are doing is exactly what they want so they keep using you as slaves. Please, connect with foreigners and see how they live. If possible, make efforts to visit abroad, Nigerians are living like sub-humans courtesy of their politicians. Please I beg you, no matter your political affiliations, tribe or religion, you only have a common enemy, your politicians. Even though they incite you to uphold tribal, religious, and political sentiments, they themselves don't even. Be smart, study them. The guy in APC switches to PDP tomorrow once PDP is in power, and vice versa. See your leaders talk against your own tribe once it is not favouring him. See them go to the other places of worship to campaign, or whenever it suits them. These thing don't matter to them, but they make you hold dearly to it and fight yourselves so they remain in power. They are your enemy, not the other victim.

The highest populated country in Africa has 44 million people, this Nigerian 230 million no get head or tail at all at all, is the 230 before or after the invasion of we-no-want-peace squad?

This is the reason I want Nigeria to break up. In about a hundred years from now, the level of insecurity influenced by population explosion and illiteracy will be hellish. While Saudi and other Middle East are practicing reasonable Islam, Africa is still barbaric in the interpretation of the Noble Quran, creating a version of Islam that fosters poverty.

..still makes no sense your write up..what is the population of India..& what is the population of Nigeria..which is more..?

..juxtapose the % of those with electricity in India..with the % of those with electricity in Nigeria..

..you can see for your self that..despite India being more populous than Nigeria..the % of those with electricity in India is still far higher than the % in Nigeria..

..my friend..stop promoting thoughtless logic..that only shows where your aim is..

..like I said esrlier..when a competent leader takes the Mantel of leadership..All your thoughts will be exactly like stated ealier..exuses..

Thank you for your sincerity and open analysis. Our problems are enormous and honestly we've not start addressing them

Nonsense research, does that same research not told those efulefu @world bank, that a vast amount had moved from grid to alternative due to crazy bills and billing systems

How then those that hasn't seem light will want to join those crazy senseless billings

Imagine spending #50k per week for electricity

We don't care about the numbers as long as our man is re elected. It is turn by turn rush to the basement of humanity. We don't elect people by any standards present or intended.

Absolute nonsense. China has much more people than Nigeria does but everyone there has access to good electricity

Nigeria's case is a failure of successive governments

TEN FREAKING YEARS after Tinubu and Buharis' APC, this is where we now find ourselves! Listening to them brag arrogantly, you could be forgiven for thinking Nigeria is now El-Dorado!

There was no excuse, i simply stated facts. The problem you have is that i didn't insult or curse Tinubu. i don't have to. The fact remains that we have the numbers. You are free to point out any lie or wrong thing i mentioned, instead of the comparison i already acknowledged.

Shameless APC and its supporters.

Not just numbers but also % and ratio.
You said 30m lack access in India
Reports also say 13% lack access for a country of 1.2b people.

Here 86m translating to 61% lasck access for a population of 234m people 😮😮😮

The "we have the numbers" is a bad omen here. The leaders ínstead of productively harnessing the unique potentials of the various peoples, they are desperately looking for any way possible for Rwanda 94 kind of event to happen in Nigeria. Unfortunately.

We have the numbers yet dstv complained recently of loosing 1.8m consumers, 76% of these are from Nigeria. Because the standard and quality of living of majority of the population have been significantly reduced by the current regime.

Image123:
Find out the number with access to electricity as well, we will be in front in Africa. This is what i mean by having the numbers. Look for highest deaths and births, highest number of billionaires and poor, highest number of christians and muslims. We will be there. We have the numbers.

Yeah we are actually number 3 in terms of highest number of users with electricity in Africa which is poor for our population, but for us to be number 1 for users with no electricity access means it is more than a numbers problem and when you compare users with electricity in terms of percentage we are not even in the top 10.
