Maybe your area is an exception. But for a lot of Nigerians, the reality is that power has improved considerably. You can see screenshots of people from Lagos, Abuja, Gusau, Jos, Ibadan, Ilorin etc all over the thread and they are all saying the same thing.

So his are is not part of Nigeria?
Is better to keep shut sometimes than being a nuisance. Ire ooo

Lolzzzzz 🤣

Wait make rain cease, only band a, go dey see light

Nobody is giving false information
That's the fact
Hydroelectric contribution to Nigeria's power is more than 20%. Most of the gas powered plants suffer from stability issues based on gas supply which is why the hydro come in handy to stabilize power during the rainy season

evidence?

Before i can genuiely applude this will b during dry season. Even Band A no dey get power during dry season.

ibabz:
What reality, please? It seems Nigerians truly have short memories. You people only sing one chorus: “Light has improved,” “How’s the power situation in your area?” and the ever-famous “Buhari’s body language.” And conveniently, these praises usually come between May and November; the rainy season when hydro power systems are naturally working better.
But as soon as December to April rolls in, we’re fed the same tired excuses: vandalism, sabotage, technical faults, and every story in the book.

The question I still don’t have an answer to is, who exactly do us like this?

Funny how same thing happens every year but people still dont realise the trend.

Its the peak of of the rainy season,l when the weather is coolest. Power demand drops drastically so there's less load shedding and this translates to more power.

Available records don’t support your claim. Hydroelectricity contributed approximately about 20% to Nigeria’s power supply. Thermal plants powered by gas now accounts for about 80% of electricity supply in Nigeria. We can give credit when it is necessary and stop trying to see no good always just because Tinubu defeated your Igbo brother.

Firebox123:
which improved power supply

No light at ijede Ikorodu since last month

People living there at nairaland can testify

There's not improved power supply anywhere in Nigeria

You can't generalised that there is not improved power supply anywhere in Nigeria.
We are on Band A and the supply has improved tremendously. We are having almost 24/7 supply .

Ok
When did gas plants become our main source of electricity? 2023 abi?
Guess who built and installed most of the power plants. OBJ. So do you love or detest him?

Yeah, that’s why power has been very constant in most parts of Nigeria since the Obasanjo administration, right?

Firebox123:
are they really real people

Cos I stay at front of egbin power station and ijede general hospital we hardly have 3hrs power supply per day


All these to promote tinubu reelection in 2027

Why are you Nigerians like this?
Imagine o😏 “All these to promote Tinubu reelection in 2027” With that statement, you just accused over 50 people of lying to pursue an agenda all because it’s not the same in your area. So typical of Nigerians.
Well, here in Agric Ikorodu, we enjoy at least 18 hours of electricity everyday (I don’t want to exaggerate) some areas like Maya enjoy almost 24 hours daily and does that mean I’m also lying to promote one yeye reelection? The fact that you are not experiencing something doesn’t mean others are lying.

WizardOfNG:
Bro, you are wrong and will remain in darkness if you think the testimony of many Nigerians can somehow be a conspiracy "to promote tinubu reelection in 2027".

kindly petition your local DISCO office to find out if there may be a generation issue related to infrastructure.

OP is entirely correct because majority can testify to the work of Adelabu, Minister of power, per vastly improved and never before seen (at least in my lifetime) constant power supply mainly aided by much improved efficiency in the distribution end that higher tariffs introduced have more than justified.

I live in Lekki phase 1 and dabble in property development across the Island up to Ajah and Sangotedo which are tending towards Epe.

We have had steady power supply in my residence for like three to four months now with stretches of even four to five days of constant power. Same extends to areas across the Island I have property development interests in.

I don't have to reveal the above but do so to challenge others to fact check and discredit me if I lie and your sort are correct trying to insinuate the situation in your area is general across Nigeria. It is by being real we can change Nigeria for better and not with lies or pursuit of hidden agendas.

Many ordinary Nigerians have no interest interest in fooling anyone because of any 2027 political agenda. Residential and business power users are just happy to confirm they are getting constant power supply that is aiding them to make progress.

Politicians come and go whereas progress is what upright Nigerians should seek always and should be duty-bound to confirm when they experience it.

Again, if you really want steady power others are enjoying, then get in touch with your power DISCO to understand if there is an issue you can lobby your LGA chairman or legislature to look into. That is their job.

Your situation, assuming you are even telling the truth, is abnormal for the much improved current state of affairs many Nigerians are now enjoying.

Begin by doing something about it rather than think all others are in your shoes or working for Tinubu's re-election.

You dey mind the enemy of progress, I don’t know why it’s hard for people to commend their oppositions when they are getting things right in this part of the world. If your condemnation is being done in good faith, you wouldn’t find it hard to commend your opponents when they are doing the right things. I hate it when people blindly generalize things. He didn’t even hesitate to claim that it was a propaganda campaign for Tinubu’s reelection. You no dey travel and you just assume that people from faraway places are all lying about their experiences. I don’t talk about things that I have limited knowledge of and I also don’t just blindly assume that the electricity is now better nationwide all because I’m enjoying it here in my own state. Blind generalization is a sign of ineptness.

Power has not been constant anywhere in Nigeria.
Nigeria's power need is about 50,000MW.
Most of the 80% of gas plants is installed capacity since the time of Obj and Nigeria hardly wheels 50% of its installed capacity as you yourself can see from your picture.
Meanwhile, the transmission grid largely remains the same and can handle max of about 8000MW which is just half of installed generation capacity of 16000MW. So can you explain where you guys are getting these lies of constant power from? Is it increase in generation, transmission or distribution?

Well they are lying. They are all Tinubu media warriors. Imagine a Yoruba man telling us about how power has increased in Gusau in Zamfara

Yes o. I can testify to it honestly.in my area here is 18/20hrs a day

Okay, you are right if that’s going to make you sleep better at night
Travel more, una no go gree. You are here commenting from your cave about what’s happening in cities where real humans live. Well, here in the city of Ikorodu (Agric, Maya and Adamo) the light situation have improved significantly. Even though I’m still not impressed because we still have a long way to go, it costs nothing to be truthful. I commend people with the same energies I use to criticize them and that’s exactly how normal humans behave.

More screenshots from Nigerians all over the country

this my boyfriend so you don't know that there's always improved power supply during raining seasons? Na wa for you o!!

What exactly do you mean by improved significantly?
You guys think power supply is like picking up indomie from a shelf. They are just preying on the gullible to project their paymasters in good light
How do you say power has improved just out of the blue? In the rainy season, there is more stable power supply in Nigeria due to the stability of hydropower supply. In the peak demand months of December, January, February power supply falters cause it coincides with the dry season when hydropower is at its lowest and the system largely depends on gas turbines. So claiming seasonal fluctuations in power supply and demand which has been the same for years as improved power supply is just pure ignorance.

There is always improved electricity supply during raining season.Let's wait until dry season to see if there is improvement really.But believe me,this BAT government can't take us anywhere useful.It's already a failed government in every department of leadership.

If you believe hydro electricity is more than 20% I wouldn’t argue with you. If you think the gas plants are unreliable I wouldn’t argue with again. I know what I know and I know you’re clearly wrong.

In ughelli, Delta where I stay... Power has improved considerably in the past 10 days. I've had light like 21 out of the last 24 hours since yesterday. I don't know what is driving The improvement. But I'm not in a hurry to be upgraded to Band A abeg, if that's their plan.

It's been like that since January. The light, especially band A recipients, has improved considerably. While this is good, there are still other factors that need to be done to ensure it's nation wide. More generation, transmission and distribution is needed to ensure full nationwide 24/7 supply. This is a nice development... appreciate it but don't dwell on it as a yardstick... Other areas are in complete shambles—Also, No one graduates with 4.0CGPA by only 4-pointing one course🤔😂.

Lol.. Here in European Nigeria, we ain’t seen shit

Are we joking …

I read both the executive summary and the full report and all it talks about is the estimated amount of electricity billed to the customers as well the total amount of electricity generated.

There’s nowhere in that report that alludes to your point of the unreliability in gas generation.

Like I said and I will state it again, you are clearly misinformed.
