Nigerias problem with power isnt lack of it, but distribution and transmission.. most discos delibrately shed power because they know 60% of energy gets stolen or lost

with 3,664 MW egypt a top african economy has enough power which is well distributed, rwanda haw 500mw and they are fine, Nigeria has 7000MW installed capacity but gencos would rather sell to smaller african countries than Nigerians

Why bother? Most of these people do not understand, and those who do only want to blame the government.

Regarding power issue, I was opportune to realize the problem when work took me to Kebbi State.

The governor (Atiku Bagudu) consulted the populace and they said key among what they need is steady power supply. So he called the DisCo (Kaduna Electric) management and they said kebbi state can get 24hrs electricity. He then asked why only about 8 to 10 hours now and they said because they can't realize the amount equivalent to power received from transmission so they would not be able to pay back. That's why they demand about the average money they collect monthly.

He then made a team monitor and work with them to calculate the outstanding monthly balance for 24-hr supply (which some claim almost 200 million monthly).

With that, every month, he pays KAEDCO about 200 million to supplement what they collect from people and within that time (about a year), barring collapse of the national grid or critical failure at feeder stations, kebbi State had 24hrs constant power supply even during hot season.

But with the termination of joint account by the NFIU he said he can no longer sustain it from state account. Local governments should chip in monthly but they haven't.

Still, he gives some amount and Kebbi State still enjoys about 18 hrs of light every day.


Unfortunately, that's all that he has done for the state. Don't be deceived by all that rice farming noise, he messed up the anchor borrowers loan scheme and everything is in shambles.

Nwaonyishi69:
The first thing to show you are knowledge-able on Nigerian issues is that you don't trust or bandy any made in Nigerian data or statistics. They are always cooked. For example, landmass, population, economic growth forecasts, out or in school population, employment data etc; let alone the figures of electricity generation as bandied by a bunch of professional lairs in this APC government.

We agree, give us your counter that we can believe that are not cooked up please

Blue3k:
Lol good one from the FG. Niger and Benin should wise up and stop being so dependent. Niger Republic can use hydro, or nuclear or fossil fuel. Both countries could build dams generating the power themselves cutting out Nigerian middleman.

And what do you think will happen to our own Kainji dam if these guys build their own damn cutting the source of our own supply. There is a reason why the government supplies some of those countries. The idea is to stop them from building their own dam, so we can get enough water.

very educating comment.. i have always said state and local government should get involved in power and energy, perhaps through provission of metters

Blue3k:
Assuming they dam up rivers up north do you believe Nigeria will use military force to stop them? Egypt been angry with Ethiopia over their dam construction. That's because the Egypt is nothing without the nile.

We are Nigeria not Egypt with just Nile only. The survival of Nigeria isn't depends solely on Niger and Benue

musicwriter:


Hahahahahaha！

If Togo, Niger and Benin republic decides to become independent, they'll dam the River Niger, and Nigeria would be thrown into darkness forever unless we find other source of water to power our dams.

The real sources of electricity to Nigeria are Togo, Niger, Benin.

Nigeria is not stupid for giving them electricity. In the light of the border closure, if I were them I'll threaten Nigeria with a dam. But they're very stupid to act.

You Ghanaian still crying over the border closure, let them threaten us exactly the way Ghana has been threatening Nigeria with no result.
We pass all of you combined and you know that

slimjohn2k5:
No light for your people and you sell it out

Country with big issue

It's an arrangement,so the water body wouldn't be over dammed

Na wa o!

E just dey sweet me dey do me totori for body as Nigeria con dey form nonsense boss for all these our nonsense west afrikan neighbors.

I hope say Ghana also dey for the list of debtors make we show dem small pepper too?

installed capacity is not an apc pdp thing as private sectors control gencos

everything about figures in Nigeria has elements of doctoring. If you don't know this much, then you know nothing about Nigeria. This nation is built and sustained by lies and liars.

Stalwert:


Dense is what you are made of, when the only thing in your brain is what will be against the interest of your country. Help them dam the River. Unpatriotic oaf. Next you should help BH.

[/s]

Lol stop crying loser. You want them to stop being leaches so why the wailing? Nigeria has tons of natural gas to exploit. Niger is already building a dam anyway. Nigeria will be fine either way.

Through this project, Niger intends to increase its electricity supply by an additional 130 MW. The Kandadji hydroelectric dam is built on the Niger River, 150 km from Niamey, the country’s capital.

augustine:
The TCN boss should remember that river Niger passed through Niger republic into Nigeria. If they get the idea of diverting the course of river Niger into their Sahara dessert land mass, then 80% of dams in Nigeria will shutdown and plunge the country into perpetual darkness.

Niger already has an agreement with Nigeria on the use of the river just as Egypt has with the use of the Nile with Ethiopia, any trash from Niger and Nigeria reacts

GENEGIRIA:
Yes. Ghana has paid in full. Ghana always pays. Next question?

A link to when Ghana paid up in full please

ok

a link to the bilateral agreement made far back 1990 and a screen shot

http://www.fao.org/3/w7414b/w7414b10.htm

the agreement is between Nigeria and Niger Republic,, togo and benin were not in the deal.

As at 2017, Egypt had 42GW= 42000MW. Took me just one minute to check it online.

i know i qouted what the use, the remaining power is sold

Wrong again. Can you show the source of your info?

It's on River Niger. It's only 130 mw dam.

crash12345:
fool,Ghana is now your largest trading partner and buyers of your product worth over 3 billion dollars in just 3 months, ahead of USA,India and China.Fool and see if we block your inferior goods from Ghana,your millions of already 100 million extremely poor poverty capital of the world people will be out of employment and hunger will be their middle name.

That your peanuts 130 million dollars have long being settled. What do you take us for.Now we produce our own gas and we don't use your unreliable gas again.Google Sankofa Gas project which is the largest gas project in Africa located in Ghana with our Ghana Gas Company in charge.Better sleep in darkness and shut up on a country with 24/7 electricity. Do you have light in your kiosk currently?

Oh and I almost forgot,over 1,000 Nigerian shops have been closed forcefully in Ghana right now.We're taking the locking nationwide and very soon,millions of Nigerians will join you shortly from Ghana after dealing with them.Don't get me annoyed.

If our goods are inferior as you said then why foolishly buying them or did we pull a trigger to your head to buy? You still crave for goods from Nigeria that the world knows you can't produce, we still sell to you and you're here talking trash.
If you can get our goods cheaper elsewhere and more original, why coming to buy from Nigeria?

A link to when and where you've settled your debt with Nigeria.
Over 1000 Nigerian shops shut and how has that affected the economy of Nigeria? It is the economy of Ghana that is actually affected because of that if you don't know.

Poor Ghana always begging Nigeria to open her land borders so that they can continue their smuggling, use our seaports and you won't.

24/7 electricity and you ain't the industrial power in the subregion, only dancing and watching TV, lazy things.

If you dare me now, I'd post reports from companies complaining of the border closure in Ghana and you send us just one Nigerian company that had complained.

GENEGIRIA:
Chai. Who told you Rwanda is not richer than Lagos? Why are you assuming Rwanda can’t be richer than Lagos. If I can compare the standard of life in Rwanda, and that of Lagos, Rwanda is richer than Lagos, in my opinion. Or how do you define being rich or poor?

Give us the GDP purchasing power and nominal of Rwanda and the per capital

Area4Area:

We pass all of you combined and you know that

am sure a Ghanaian has raped both your mother and sister before and run scot free because your level of hatred for Ghana is unprecedented. Don't you see the person you're quoting is a Nigerian by him even using "our" throughout his comment. Where did he mention Ghana.
Think about your 1 million problems in your over 100 million extremely poor poverty capital of the world people with your illiterate fulani general warlord president.Boko haram just executed 4 Nigerians aid workers and your whole country is suffering from power failures and Ghana is now your largest trading partner ahead of the USA,China and India.Without the Ghanaian rich market, millions of Nigerians will be extremely poor and jobless.Hahahaha

Day2logic:

I doubt if the 3 countries combined have the population of some states in Nigeria. I believe population and landmass is part of our problems. To be honest Democracy will hardly work in this country with our differences.

God bless you bro

CSTR2:

Lagos is richer than Rwanda. That is a fact.
Is Rwanda a top five African economy?
No they are not. Lagos alone is top 5 in GDP.
How many notable companies do you know that have their headquarters in Rwanda?
None.

Yes, they have a better standard of living due to a much better standard of governance.

They have done much with little, while lagos have done very little with much.

Rwanda does not have a better standard of living, imagine Nigerians posting pictures of the posh places in Abuja, Lagos, PH, KD, Enugu etc and people take it as how and what the rest of Nigeria looks like.
Rwanda is poor and the world knows it.

No light for your people and you sell it out

Country with big issue

Nigerias distributive companies cannot absorb all the electricity generated by the Gencos due to infrastructural limitations. It makes sense to sell the excess.

CSTR2:

I don't think so.
If aka ibom uses all their generated power in aka ibom alone, they would be like Europe.
They even supply power to Abia state currently .

There is a serious disadvantage in over population.

What would be enough for small countries would not make a dent in Nigeria.

And we don't have a decent government to give us the necessary growth rate to make real impact on the population.

China grew at 12-15% for 20 years.
There is no way it won't capture most of their population.

What is that u don't think so?

Pls let's go back to d statement made by d gentleman to which I responded.

"I believe population and landmass is part of our problems."

What he wrote is d independent variable. D dependent variable is electricity. Now if u are to use this, d independent variable affecting d dependent variable as d reason y Nigeria is having electricity problems, then China, India, US and Russia that have larger population & land mass will b in darkness going by his theory.

In ur comment, u are saying two different things at d same time. On d one hand u are saying this: "And we don't have a decent government to give us the necessary growth rate to make real impact on the population", at d same time u are saying this: "There is a serious disadvantage in over population".

Once again, is it because China's population grew at a rate of 12-15% for 20years that d govt was able to "capture most of their population" or is it because d govt knows what it is doing? because u sound as though if d population growth rate of China were higher, then they wouldn't have been able to "capture most of their population".

NB: what u mean by "capture" is alien to me. Not to sure what u mean by that

It is because Nigeria do not want them to build dams on River Niger that Nigeria sell electricity to them! That is why the MD said they limit them to contractual supply only. That contractual supply can't be cut

Egypt actually produces 14 000 MW of power meaning Nigeria will probably have to produce about 22 000MW for the amount of people currently connected and if everyone is connected we will need about 50 000MW of electricity at our current population
