It doesn't actually matter, because even if 80% of Nigerians have access to electricity, and you USE THAT DISHONEST OP's FORMAT of posting raw numbers instead of percentage access, we could still be "the worst" because the remaining 20% could be over 50 million people!

AT 62%, NIGERIA SUPPLIES ELECTRICITY TO MORE PEOPLE THAN ANY COUNTRY IN AFRICA, AT 150 MILLION AND RISING.

GO AND ASK BURUNDI WITH 14 MILLION PEOPLE WHY THEIR ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY IS 11%.

GO AND ASK MALAWI WITH 22 MILLION PEOPLE WHY THEIR ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY IS 15%.

GO AND ASK SOUTH SUDAN WITH 13 MILLION PEOPLE WHY THEIR ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY IS 5%.

GO AND ASK SIERRA LEONE WITH 9 MILLION PEOPLE WHY THEIR ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY IS 35%.

GO AND ASK D.R. CONGO WITH 117 MILLION PEOPLE WHY THEIR ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY IS 22%.

GO AND ASK CHAD WITH 21 MILLION PEOPLE WHY THEIR ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY IS 12%.

THOSE ARE THE REAL FAILING COUNTRIES. NOT NIGERIA.

NIGERIA IS DOING FAR BETTER THAN THEM, AND MANY OTHERS, BY PROVIDING POWER TO 62% OF ITS 250 MILLION PEOPLE.

AFTERALL WE ARE ALL DEVELOPING COUNTRIES THAT GAINED INDEPENDENCE IN THE 1960s.

IT IS DISHONEST AND DECEPTIVE TO USE OUR HIGH POPULATION TO MAKE OUT THAT WE ARE "THE WORST", SIMPLY BY POSTING RAW NUMBERS INSTEAD OF PERCENTAGE OF POPULATION WITH ACCESS.

BECAUSE THAT IGNORES THE PROGRESS MADE BY EACH COUNTRY IN COVERING THEIR POPULATION, WHILE ALLOWING THE FAILING COUNTRIES TO EVADE SCRUTINY, SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT AS POPULATED AS NIGERIA.

YOU CAN EQUALLY USE OUR PROVIDING POWER TO 150 MILLION PEOPLE AS EVIDENCE THAT WE ARE "THE BEST".

SO TAKE YOUR NEGATIVE AGENDA AND FACE THE DOOR.

All those countries you mentioned don't have crude oil and gas that brings in easy money. If they did the story would be different. If Nigeria did not have crude oil, our situation would be worse

Under APC Nigeria is nothing but a waste bin.

Jakarta:
You are ignorant, and people like you end up being corporate slaves because you don't know how to run a business, or know how running one feels like. Why are Discos failing to migrate more customers to BAND A, if they can reliable provide cost reflective services? Why not make those bands not paying cost reflective tarriffs distasteful for it's users, so that they can migrate to better bands thereby having more customers paying cost reflective tarriffs? Ogbeni use that thing wey dem dey call brain na!!.

Aah.

As I thought.

You do need to read more old man

We are too corrupt as a Nation that's our biggest problem plus our population isn't helping issues

And how do you industrialize without electricity. And even if you have constant electricity it has to be competitively priced enough to push more goods and services out of Nigeria than come in. It has to enable us compete with the world, so it is not just a matter of availability but cost as well.

But what are we spending.our money on....?

This international disgrace.
Nigeria had stable power supply when President was an "Agbero" on Lagos Island before Hajia Mogaji rescued him from the streets.

You have a lot to learn kiddo.

Yet we still export electricity to neighbouring countries.

And BEDC is owned by Fidelity Bank, which is in turn owned by Peter Obi. Peter Obi is notorious for poor workers' welfare. He sees workers as slaves as a result of his upbringing as a trader.

Let's remove BEDC from the list, so all other areas have electricity?


Most of you keep disgracing yourselves because of your wicked hearts for others.

Africa is cursed. You can't tell me otherwise.

I guess you think that prof Nnaji is lacking knowledge when he calls for a cost reflective tarrif.

Well, good afternoon, my dear wise woman.

Your country needs a cost reflective tarrif to improve power supply..

Africa is representing. The whole world have let us behind

And Atiku wants to return, after 16B wasted!

Don't let this blow ur heads, Congo has a total population of about 118,000,000, while Nigeria has about 240,000,000.
That means about 64% of Nigerians and 32%of Congolese live without electricity.

Don't let this blow ur heads, Congo has a total population of about 118,000,000, while Nigeria has about 240,000,000.

That means only about 36% of Nigerians live with electricity as against 68% of Congolese who live with electricity

you now lie for a living,no wonder agbero chairman recruited you

I hope Mr statistics is seeing dis, and that tomorrow him and his zombies will not deny it

Thank you for your honesty. You're the first paid APC data boy I know who has publicly rejected the Giant of Africa nonsense.

You're absolutely right. All Sub Saharan African countries, including Africa's "giant" are underdeveloped and economically challenged 3rd world countries. They are all more or less on the same footing with the possible exception of South Africa.

But be that as it may, that still doesn't explain the sheer numbers when it comes to Nigerians living without electricity.

Nigeria with a population of 250 million has more people living without electricity than China and India.

Also, Singapore got it's independence in 1965. It has almost zero natural resources yet it has a higher GDP than Nigeria and has given 100% access to electricity for its population.

If you're honest, this should be a source of concern for you.

Mr Man, stop calling Singapore.

Singapore is a city-state of 6 million people.

It's not even up to the size of Abuja.

Why won't they have constant power?

COMPARE LIKE WITH LIKE.

Don't compare a giant to a mosquito.

AND YES. NIGERIA IS ABSOLUTELY 🇳🇬 THE GIANT OF AFRICA WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.

EVEN WITH ELECTRICITY, SHE SUPPLIES POWER TO MORE PEOPLE THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN AFRICA BY AN ABSOLUTE MILE.

YOU CANNOT SAY WE ARE THE SAME AS SOUTH SUDAN THAT SUPPLIES ELECTRICITY TO ONLY 5% OF ITS POPULATION.

India is still very much an underdeveloped country, so DON'T come in here hyping them just because they have full power coverage. They still have a long way to go in infrastructural development and economic prosperity. Which is why their people flee all over the world far more than Nigerians and Africans.

Those 4 Asian tiger economies, ie South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia I think, plus Singapore were specially selected by western powers after WW2 to be capitalist bulwark against Soviet communism, and granted free technology transfer, massive cash grants, and open access to western markets for their finished goods.

Otherwise Singapore would be just like Cambodia, Vietnam, or Philippines today.

INDIA and China are more sensible places to compare Nigeria to, and GUESS WHAT?

TINUBU HAS ADOPTED a very SIMILAR economic growth strategy to India and China.

SO WE ARE ON OUR WAY, AND WITHIN THE NEXT 5 TO 10 YEARS, THERE WILL BE NOTHING LIKE POWER SUPPLY PROBLEM IN NIGERIA.

That's so unfortunately. However, if World Bank releases positivell news about Nigeria, they say it's fake but news like this, is easily believed because not is the truth.

Well, good afternoon, my dear wise woman.

Your country needs a cost reflective tarrif to improve power supply..

And I asked you, are those paying cost reflective tariffs to the various DisCos receiving cost reflective services? Provide cost reflective service, and people are more than willing to pay for it. Is the ABA power plant being chaired by same prof Bart Nnaji not charging cost reflective tarriffs, are people not paying for it?

There is Dstv, and there is Gotv both charge cost reflective tarriffs, and people pay for it. There are ISP like, MTN, Glo, Airtel, Starlink they all provide cost reflective services, and people are paying for it. This shouldn't be too hard for an adult to understand.

See what the countinent looks like at this age and time. Bad leadership and governance!

Provide cost reflective service with which money?

You guys really are very amusing.

DSTV ,and company could provide good services because they were allowed to charge cost reflective tarrifs from the word go. As such investment flowed in from the word go.

The electricity sector was not and has never been allowed to do that. ...and even today can only do that for less than 20% of consumers.



I'm ending it here, lol,. because you are making me laugh too much

Imagine!!! Almost 100000000 people living without electricity!!!!
What a model kwantiri!

Jakarta was amusing me too much, so I had to end it.

He really lacks understanding.

Someone that I have pointed out the mistakes he is making, and still holds onto them.

Well, it was fun while it lasted.
