Power output had dropped from a recent peak of 4,500MW on April 3, to 2,800 as of March30.
The ministry said on the eastern axis, Shell Gas, Alakiri plants were shut down. Other affected power plants include National Integrated Power Plants (NIPPs) – Egbin, Olorunshogo 1 & 11, Omotosho 1& 11, Geregu I & 11, Ihonvor and Sapele on the western axis and Alaoji on the eastern end.

He said the ongoing strike by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) and the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas (NUPENG), which began on Tuesday, was responsible for the worsening supply.

Nigeria’s power generation at “all-time low”; crashes to 1,327MW : http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/183496-nigerias-power-generation-at-all-time-low-crashes-to-1327mw.html

From the bolded it simply shows your level of maturity, so you are using 6wks to compare 6yrs of GEJ? You well so

plendil:


LEt us even assume its 5000MW. For all our resources and the colossal amount of money spent on the sector (conservatively put at about $10B), can you in all honestly claim that as an achievement of your darling GEJ?

That, my friend, is the problem with you taniods.

barcanista:
Why won't traders add price to their goods when producers increased their own price to make up for the increased cost of production that they've been subjected to? Sadly we have no economic manager yet. Buhari is running Nigeria like his animal farm in Daura

Muhahahahahahaha, and you expected over 45years of military/OBJ misrule, misappropriation, corruption, insecurity, etc, (which Buhari was among the rot since independence)?

There are two Nigerias as we speak. The APC's virtual one and the real one people like me live in.

I'm happy nations are never built by good intentions. Even the way to hell is paved with good iintentions.

No amount of propaganda and lies shall deceive the smart ones. To be deceived is now a choice.

Over 660 souls have been murdered by the misguided brothers of Grandpa.

I've been enjoying appreciable level of power even before the elections. Bro, that rating na fraud.

For every lie, there shall be the revealer of it.

Thanks bro.

Sadly I believe the polls. This is not because it's a true reflection of his performance. To be fair, if you observe most government all over the world, you will discover they tends to have a very high polls scoring rate the first few months into their administration. This is called a honey moon period for a reason.
Any judgement of buhari's leadership this early, will always be off the mark (good or bad). Let's wait a while before cutting his throat.

@ barcanista, The previous power transmission peak of 4517MW was attained on 23rd December, 2012. This is a quote from the report.
So between 2013-2015 the MW kept dropping amidst all the fuel supplies but since Buhari took over the reigns of power, thing's changed. PMB has got the midas touch.

^^^^^ GEJ Lover...


What's this got to do with your cheap, bogus and TaNoid ideology? You are a TaNoid just like the TaNoid OP as your quote above demonstrated and you are predisposed to such rubbish by the OP because of your TaNoid ways and mentality.

TaNoid ideology is demented and bankrupt ideology hence Nigerians kicking your masters out of office.

Crying and wailing can not help you, it only adds to your suffering....


Hahahahah. You are a very funny fellow!

So you went to my archives to dig out post, eleyi gidi gan..hahahaha.

I will never hide my admiration for GEJ. Some of the virtues he possess is very scarce in this present world.

Barcanista is a skillful analyst, he might not be the best in Nigeria but on here, I am yet to see anyone that beats him, If there were I will tell you aresa.

Any more insults?

Mogidi:


Help with this one bros, when did your type start believing polls conducted by NOI?

P:S
NOI is in no way related to Ngozi Okonjo Iweala.

barcanista:
I think the name of APC country is West Germany

barcanista:
personally, I think the APC desperation for approval is making them to act silly. When I first saw it I first thought it was -70% (which I think will be a fair rating).

Mogidi:


And the problem with you jan..jan.weeds is hypocrisy. Seems you forgot OBJ the "captain" of APC spent a whopping $16 with no improvement.

senier007:
Well it's obvious this writer always wants to criticise even when it's obvious, well based on my own analysis this writer belongs to the 12% of those people that think PMB is either babagoslow or has no plan, barcanista was being economical with the truth when he is comparing the number of people that dies in the last few weeks as the only yardstick used in assessing security rating! In real world, the number of dead is only one of the indices used in assessing security rating, troops morale, availability of arms, commitment from leadership, rally the whole masses against the monster, number of people that lost their lives within the period under study, and the rest and all of them carries equal mark, if the president fail in one doesn't mean he has fail in all ramifications, ask any army be it a soldier or an officer about his morale he will tell you it's just a matter of time before BH will seize to exist, he has released money for procurement of arms that will be used by strong arm 8500 soldiers from MTNJTF by the end of this month, for the first time, citizen have started reporting would-be suice bombers to the security agent, what does that tell you? He was able to rally both regional and world powers behind him, so the point is when u are sick, and you allow that sickness to fister for some times, after some times, you decided to take medicine, would that sickness disappear as soon as you take that medicine? No, you need time to allow the medicine to start attacking the diseases in different stages, at some stage, you. Only feel headache or dizziness or even dry mouth but after sometimes the whole thing will go away God willing, but by merely taking the drugs, you have started the process of eliminated the so called disease same thing is applicable to this present scenerio.
When it comes to power, for the first time Nigeria has achieved a new electricity transmission peak of 4545 mega watts, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN)  announced on Tuesday. According to Seun Olagunju,  general manager, public affairs of TCN, the feat was achieved at 9:45pm on Monday. The previous power transmission peak of 4517MW was attained on December 23, 2012. (https://www.nairaland.com/2450905/nigerias-power-transmission-all-time-peak). In just a space of one month he has made history, so if you are still experiencing black out is either ur area are not paying monthly fee so that company decides to give you blanket punishment or something is wrong with your area. Don't always criticise for critism sake, always look at the bright sight of everything besides this govt is just 2months old and you are expecting it to create magic why did Jonathan not create magic in the past 6years? Why did you people not vote for magician or a wizard?

Whynotthetruth:


What's an achievement bro?...building world's tallest drum?...

Can you do an analysis of cost implication of a power generating plant vis a vis timeframe for same?...am waiting...

barcanista:
It "peaked" at 4517MW doesn't mean it was dropping free fall. In fact as at April 2nd it was 4500MW

Mogidi:


And the problem with you jan..jan.weeds is hypocrisy. Seems you forgot OBJ the "captain" of APC spent a whopping $16 with no improvement.

Gboliwe:


Bwahahhahahahahah. You finally get to earn a "like" from me. @ -70%

plendil:




So where all zees money come dey go??

4517MW in 2012, 3 years later 4500MW. over 150 billion spent. And someone tries to defend it.

biafranqueen:
I could not even comment on that nonsense ploy of propaganda the USA/APC is forcing down our throats. They really think Nigerians are stupid and ignorant.

barcanista:
Your epistle is rather tooooo long. How can you measure morale of the ground forces by the rule of thumb? The result of high morale is increased attack on terrorists and reduced attavk by the terrorists (Just like we saw during the tale end of GEJ's era and when Ihejirika was COAS. Was Buhari the initiator or executor of MNJTF? Was he even the onw that pledged the fund? He has done nothing.

As for power, yes under GEJ it peaked at 4517MW in december 2012, yet the power as at April 03 was 4500MW. www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/183496-nigerias-power-generation-at-all-time-low-crashes-to-1327mw.html
It fell down in May due to the PENGASSAN and NUPENG strike that shut down power plants. This so-called 45300 that TCN announced is simply due to more diesel to power the generator and not due to anything by gmb.

Fact: GMB has done absolutely Nothing on power.
