Nigeria na generator lights dey show, not national power supply. Chai, who do Africa this curse, who we offend, see as everywhere black like charcoal. African governments leaders are so incompetent. The only thing they are very good at is how to steal money and be forming big gods to disease ridden slay mamas with borehole between their legs

See America at night below, see difference my God, yet this African people go dey form religion. Winch people

Abeg how America take do Blue light sef ??

bot101:
Africa is gone!!! So with this wack light we have, we are still better than most of Africa?? Only South Africa and Morocco are better. Damn!!!

that place when dey shine for west africa so.
Na Ghana be that oo

hottathanfire:
They didn't even consider communities where generators had formed a committee to supply light to the society....

This is an arial photograph from over 600,000m up in the air. Ie you travel upwards 600 kilometres. You can never see 1 light bulb from such height. Unless there are like 100,000 lightbulbs together, then you will notice it and think it is only 1 light bulb from such distance.

hottathanfire:
Yẹ̀yẹ researchers with stupid job... Any research that will not contribute to the electricity generation is not welcomed here.
You wan see the darkest part of Africa come dey do mapping, instead of you to go to okokomaiko

Quantifiable problems are solvable problems.

But, some ppl no know where Naija dey for that map

How I wish I have the capability of taking an aerial view of Africa I could have burst the tyre and reveal the secret that they are hiding that The only major source of electrical power, in Nigeria is ordinary tiger generator with a damn noise a pollution.

In that case, your 'I beta pass neighbour' already gives you access to electricity.

Maybe people on this thread need to check their dictionaries to understand the meaning of the word 'access'

Which access..where they are coming from and where the research is being conducted is I better pass my neighbor part of there statistics assessment ? I beg talk better thing..no option..that thing no be accessibility to light.

Thanx for the enlightment that it's all about electricity and not public electricity as I thought b4...my take on not been accurate is that while gas flaring lit up our southern shores at night , same can be said of developed world that have substitute it with different method. I ain't doubting the authenticity of the report. I still believe Africa is worst in electricity as portray here.
Thanks

obailala:
How exactly is the research not accurate? The results given are real time live data, how could that be wrong?

Access to electricity, not access to public electricity!

deepwater:
The light seen from southern Nigeria is nothing but gas flaring


Fly into the Niger Delta Area from 8pm downwards you will see how that region is literally on fire

Babe, your papa send u go correct skol

Is TB JOSHUA your president? leaving substance and chasing shadow.

Abudu2000:
And yes the stupid oyibo will still be running to our fake pastors like tb joshua for deliverance again knowing fully well the pastors can't even help their country let alone the world

Chiefochiefo:
But Nigeria try sha o. For those who can locate Nigeria from the map

Don't be deceive, na generator light dey show for Nigeria.

I can only see light in west(mostly Nigeria),north n southern Africa.
It means other African countries have been over exaggerated to be better than us.

Earthkumy:


America is most religious Nation in the world, is in their constitution "in God we trust"

Stop fooling yourself, Nigeria just started religion which year self

Lol, be deluding urself, America were all kinds of immorality is allowed from gay, to transgender, to beastiality, church of the devil, naked church, Beyonce church, etc.

What that lady wrote is rubbish and you are here praising her

A bit of African geography would help people understand this topic. Most of North Africa and West Africa is made up of the Sahara Desert which is largely inhabited. Superimposing the 2 maps should give a true depiction of electricity situation in that part of the continent.

The mountainous regions of East Africa should also be considered as they aren't heavily inhabited.

When we see information, let's not be in a hurry to throw shades or blames, let's try to understand the reason of such.

Thank you

As much as I appreciate the technological prowess used in carrying out this light/darkness research, I believe it's not even up to 70% accurate because generators /inverters etc made up to 50% of what they came up with at night in Africa. A closer look at the night vision map portray the developing nations especially Southern and Nothern Africa with the Central countries begging for life.

All in all, this context cannot change in the next 50 years when the world is fast moving and one country still electing a man who prefer cows to human development.


I dey wonder how living in this red traced region dey live

No one curse Africa, we are our greatest undoing.

Generator/Inverter etc no follow 4 Electricity

Chukwuka16:
If there's anything I agree with now it is simple - without boots on the ground, all those satellite scoping would be a total waste of time.

First, what is electricity access? The absence of tangible benchmarks to define and articulate access means that its definition is subjective. Many households still use coal/firewood to cook but have solar home systems (SHS). So you see the house lit up but yet the dwellers cant power their cookers or heat water or do something profitable with the 'access' they have. More worrisome is the fact that these households spend more money in meeting their energy needs and also stand a high chance of contracting COPD.

Second, to what extent can these so called SHS guarantee households mobility - the ability to upscale electricity consumption cheaply. So I have a solar system that basically powers my light bulbs and entertainment system, what happens when I want to buy a new fridge? How cheaply can I increase my ownership of electrical appliances.

I wont be surprised to see folks sneer at how illogical these may seem but hey how many of you connected to the grid have called the utility to inform them that you are getting an AC or a deep freezer? You dont because you have the belief that the system can carry it. Of course it can because of something called generation expansion planning. If it is done for grid connected households then the same courtesy must be extended off grid households.

I really pity Africa (especially SSA). By the time the developed world is done with her, she would wish death on herself. How a people can allow the developed world determine how she should electrify herself is not only an insult but also a means of colonization. IIASA is there talking about electricity access in SSA, how many of them even understand what it means to live 25 years and only have had electricity for 15 years? The other clowns like UNFCCC and IRENS and IEA are talking hogwash about renewable when fossil fuels like natural gas and coal still constitute the bulk of their generation capacity.

What is even more worrisome is the growing rate of ignorance now common among youths. Is humanity mad? Have we become so dull? You are shouting climate change and still using clothes, cars, aeroplanes and electricity all powered fully by fossils, how much more ignorant can we be?

Wo, let me go and find something to eat jare. Nonsense talk about electricity access from people who may never have experienced electricity blackouts.

Are you saying the white man is responsible for low electricity generation on the continent?
Who exactly is blocking us from electricity generation from fossil fuels.
Whatever happenEd to self determination.

Wonders shall never end.

He is actually making a point.
Would you solely depend on them for heavy industries.
If you've actually tried running a business on generators you would know better.

Of course we know that.
Compare the that of SA to that of nigeria

I’ve seen the video before circa 2012.
It even made front page here.
We’re back to recycling news again?
Lol.

That area is largely desert and jungle.

The dark continent never disappoints. They redefine. darkness in all things.

Okay

E be like say na only 7 people get light for Madagascar

Na 5 people I see o....

I don see my friend car light wey still dey Lagos hold up. I tell am make him repair the light wey dey face up.. Now him don confuse satalite

Africa is literally in darkness.

The Idea is 2 have a view of d extent ppl have access 2 ANY FORM OF electricity generally. not abt industries/business. Otherwise d research wldn't hav focused on night.
How many industries/business are run at night?
