WASTED 16 YEARS.[/size]
OBJ YarAdua and GEJ are different personalities

No party is run on ideology

OBJ and GEJ are at war with each other

That proves that both share different views

I just took another look at the figures, I thought is was the same 2500 MW for both countries.
There could be a lot of reasons for that apart from the labour issues I already mentioned.
The fact that that we have to import more of the needed materials while China might not import at all, they have some of the basic infrastructure on ground already, while we build from scratch.
This is just to show why power projects in Nigeria could be more expensive than in China, but the figures you guys gave are false.
Don't defend blatant corruption.

Infact, the OP was even suppose to say 0 (zero, zilch) watts for $35Billion by Nigeria.
We have not generated any extra MW if you consider the past 16 years average wattage in Nigeria.

OBJ, Yar'adua and GEJ are all culpable.

This is why we need change from the status quo,we can't continue to run a country like this. Look at the amount PDP spent in 16 years and the result . Is this a goverment that deserves a re-election? Vote Mohammed Buhari for change,he might not be perfect,but he's the better alternative.
I've been trying to PM you it is urgent. Get in touch asap.

It takes about $1 billion or more (Depending on location and infrastructure) to build a standard 1000MW power plant. My question, is how on earth is it possible to build a 22,000MW power plant with $25 billion dollars huh
This is impossible!
@Op how many years did it take China to achieve 22,000MW?

A single project sighted in a geographically sustainable region against several smaller power plants scattered over several locations compose of several flow stations and a new power grid that was non existing.

You mean the same dam in China that was responsible for displacing almost 1.5 million people and is causing serious landslides in China as we speak?

Cool.

Read about The Three Gorges (the Chinese hydoelectric facility the OP is talking about).
More than 1 million people lost their homes, and landslides keep ravaging the place as an after-effect of the siting.

What's your point exactly?
Power, Hydroelectric power or what do you have a problem with?

my previous post is the same thing I will say to u, there had to be resettlement for communities around kanji, akosombo and a host of others.. The land slide can also be due to the topography and poor civil planning

LRNZH:
So is that the main reason why we get 2,500 MW for $35Billion
and the Chinese get 20,000 MW for $25Billion?

Are you implying labour costs are the major cash sink in power projects enough to cause 100 fold difference in impact on wattage of power produced?
yes it is possible cos... Cheap labour, no long distant transportaion, no import duty, and no foriegn expertariats...

Do u know how much yam is sold at Zakibian in Benue State... And how much it is sold at Onitsha in Anambra state... Many things contribute in making whatever that is bought from another place go higher in price.

Am not saying that corruption didnt also has its own contribution ooo...

Again the OP is tryn to misslead people into thinking that GEJ‘s gorvernment spent 35billion... This is bad and it is an act of curroption too.

I dont know how many mw nigeria is generating now but what i know is that where i live we have always have light for about 16-18hours everyday. Landlords here are encouraged to get private transformers toavoid constant breakdown of public transformer...

Why do you PDP members always want me to do reasearch for you. In 8 years Obasanjo spent $16 billion on Power which was embezzled by Liyel Imoke current Governor of Cross River State,Olusegun Agagu etc while under Yardua and Goodluck Jonathan $19.45 was spent on power. So in total $35.45 was spent by Nigera.PDP members are shameless thieves because they have a President that allows free looting without any consequence.

Obasanjo did not spend $16 billion on power. He spent $5 billion
