Thumbs Up For Nigerian Soldiers I Must Commend You For Doing A Great Job But Let Be Frank, PHCN Are Very Wicked - Whenever They Need Money They'll Leave The Light On For Days To The Extent That You'll Even Be Wondering If You're In Nigeria Or America, Cos The Light Will Be Stable But After Collecting The Money That's The End! Back To Total Blackout, You'll Now Realize That You're Still In Nigeria And Not America! Awọn Oloriburuku Oshi Ẹ Ba Mi Fi Lilu Ba Aye Wọn Jẹ |

Re: Soldiers Invade IBEDC Office In Ibadan, Torture Worker Over Power Outage (Pic) by Reference(m): 11:07am On Mar 28, 2016 |
Quakertellicus1: True. I was not proposing anything serious. Just thinking out loud in view of the 'rocket science' thingy. That indeed immediate solutions don't have to come out of this world (no pun intended). Our present generation capacity is so low, quite frankly it can be matched by diesel generating plants. Indeed I don't know of any developed economy both past and present that didn't set its industrial base in place with any other energy source other than coal. This was true for the US, all of Europe and is now true for China and India. Coal remains the poor man's choice and route to power. When you have your industries up and running and your economy firmly founded then you can begin to think of more exotic fuels such as gas and nuclear and join the hypocritical club of those saving the planet by investing in green. Poor peoples and nations donot start at the top. Speaking of transmission challenges, I have always voted in favour of smaller independent plants located within or near the point of use. This not only saves on costly transmission infrastructure but strengthens the system against total grid shutdowns. If power generation can be brought to the levels of say local governments you can operate at the distribution levels and cut out most of the 33kva (high tension) infrastructure. It is more wasteful but more resillient and will create a culture of responsibility amongst customers who steal power, donot pay bills yet blame some organization far away they are not in touch with. I feel the power sector even with privatisation remains too rigid, too unwieldy and there are just not enough players to make a real difference. That Cross-Rivers for instance is under Portharcourt Electricity Distribution Company is just ridiculous. That's a six hour drive in some parts and comletely out of touch in a business where knowing your customer is even more important than in the communication industry. |

Reference: My brother help me ask am. The average barracks looks like a rubbish dump. The few decent ones among them would prefer to rent house outside the barracks for their families than have them stay in that pig sty |

simplynola: So in your opinion electricity in the barracks is the difference between saving a nation from external aggression and losing a nation. Then soldiers fighting in the bush at the front have constant electricity abi. The question is, what exactly do soldiers use electricity for that makes 24hrs power at the expense of the nation in general so critical. Because I have served in the army and I have lived in several barracks in my life time from training to deployment and I can tell you one thing, when a formation is under attack, the last thing you want is light, whether by air or ground. It will pin point your position to everything but night optics. Most military equipment I know are built to be field operational, that is they have independent power to run their computers, their tactical boards and their equipment whether radars, radios, missiles and guns. Soldiers are trained to adapt and operate in challenging environments and thrive where most others cannot. At least the soldiers of my day. My first unit was not even connected to the grid. 1 Like |

New grid are been built.....the one in Calabar was built during Jonathan regime and it did not lead to incessant power cut because it is entirely new ....it is not removing old wires,the mast were constructed on site and after all connection they went to do the transfer of the power. You can still comeand see both lines stand side by side.. Quakertellicus1: |

That flogging I'm seeing there is not enough for any "nepa" official! I'm not against thier several hours of no power afterall we are all used to it but the criminal and unjustified bills they dole out to thier unmetered customers should carry nothing but death sentence! For those of you who feel I'm being extreme in my judgment, try being unemployed and source funds from wherever, to "settle" these rogues, within a short period of time you'll realise you've just ceased to exist! So its better to kill them first! |

slyzy: My brother, listen, I personally refurbished a faulty transformer that was bad when I built a house. Could you imagine that after some months, the transformer was vandalized. Note that the said transformer was vandalized by same staff that fixed it. They divert light to companies and be collecting money from them because those companies cannot operate on generators.These guys with their managers are wicked because they only think about their personal pockets and not the common man.I had to write a personal letter and the manager of the station was removed. Beating those guys is the best option because we Nigerians are selfish and too corrupt. |

asuustrike2009: Think well before u call soldiers foolish. Maybe u dont know dey feel d brunt harder dan any of. Utility bills ie power, accomodatn, water supply, waste disposal are being deducted direct from dere salaries before dey got dem. For a private soldier its abt #16,000, n d higher ur rank d higher d cut cos its a fixed percentage of ur take home pay. Dat private is supposed to live in a room n parlor self-contained bt u see dem bn choked in lesser apartmt. He will nt get d light, he has to buy a none existent fuel from his meager pay, dispose his sewage n refuse himself n he cant complain? He leaves his family to be chasing terrorist in dangerous n mosquitoe-invested terrain n d useless power ppl cannot giv dem light. Security wise is barrack supposed to be without power? In my area its bn a weeklong blackout without explanation. Bt d stupid power worker said dey petitioned d high command of d military. What abt d foodstuffs in d soldiers freezers, dey could get rotten without dem petitioning d power ppl cos dey are nt human? What abt d light dey need to iron dere uniforms so dey could turn out smart? They cant complain? When civilians misbehaved to soldiers n d soldier retaliated in a case of two fighting dey run down crying foul. The soldiers are d endangered specie here. Until wen Nigerian can start suing d arse of power bastards for non performance dat sector will never improve. Abegi, dey deserve wot dey got joor! |

Too many senseless i.diots in this country, justifying the brutality meted out to this man by some senseless soldiers because of high electricity bills or inadequate power supply. You are foolish beyond redemption... so it's this low level worker that is responsible for your failure of a country inability to generate more than 3000MW 55 years after independence? You bastards deserve all the suffering you are going through and may the same soldiers flog you senseless next time you run into them. 2 Likes |
