BabaOwen:
This country is so messed up. How do we Nigerians really expect our country to grow I look at our budget, convert am to dollar, I was shocked when I saw how much it was in dollars, e small die.

Just imagine say babaginda or abacha don solve light matter, or if OBJ or GEJ had solved it, Buhari for face other things. But, as Nigeria dey now eh, every sector is messed up and we no com get money.

Same Electricity that 16 BILLION DOLLARS was spent on by a former past president.

It is a shame!

And in saner climes many people grow up never witnessing what power failure is all their lives.
They only see it on TV'S!

We only pray we get there soon as a nation.
Destroyed Foundation!




You've said it all.
That is the situation we find ourselves as a nation.
Terrible.

Really?!

For many years now, Nigeria has been facing an extreme electricity shortage. This deficiency is multi-faceted, with causes that are financial, structural, and sociopolitical, none of which are mutually exclusive. Nigeria’s power sector has high energy losses from generation to billing, a low collection rate and low access to electricity by the population. There is insufficient cash generation because of these inefficiencies and the power sector is consequently reliant on fuel subsidies and funding of capital projects by the government.

At present only 10 % of rural households and 40% of the country’s total population have access to electricity. Power supply difficulties cripple the agricultural, industrial and mining sectors and impede the Nigeria's ongoing economic development. The energy supply crisis is complex, stems from a variety of issues and has been ongoing for decades.

As of December 2013, the total installed or nameplate capacity (maximum capacity) of the power plants was 6,953 MW. Available capacity was 4,598 MW. Actual average generation was 3,800 MW. As of December 2014, the total installed capacity of the power plants was 7,445 MW.

The minister for power Babatunde Fashola said that 90 million Nigerians lack electricity supply. This is an indictment of the government and a clarion call on that same government as well as other stakeholders to do something urgently about the wobbling electricity supply situation in the country. Every year, the Nigerian government invest huge amout of money in the power sector with no positive impact, something seems not right!

The big question is, are we going to witness a stable power supply in our lifetime , will it ever happen?

nickxtra:
Hmmmm!!!! I think it can only be possible if each State is allowed to generate its own electricity

Mouthgag:
More than 100 billion dollars spent on power projects since 1960

Money that is enough to put Nigeria shoulder to shoulder with some developed countries yet, there is almost nothing to show for it.


It won't be well with the generation of 55 to 85 years old... THEY MESSED UP EVERYTHING FOR US.

USELESS CORRUPT LEADERS

Chuksmonika:
first of all,let us know that electricity generation and distribution is not rocket science,they are easy.....But cabals e.g those who import generators and diesel will never allow it,cause it will spoil their business...we need a sincere leader who will fight them head on,But wilth the way things are in Nigeria,it will take a long time before Nigeria enjoy it,i have been to Ghana and Burkina Faso,throughout my stay there,i never for once experienced an outage,it is just sad that Nigerians are treated this way,and the funny part is that they seem to enjoy the way Leaders treat them,though they cant really do Sh!t...cos they dont we dont have the liver for now to effect the necessary changes,people who dared in the past to challenge the staue quo paid dearly for it,Sowore is a recent example,But God will help us all!



We must first of all do away with National grid,which country still does that sh!t nw?....Let every State Generate its electricity for the state consumption,the excess can be sold to neigbouring states who cant generate enough

EcoBrick:
Yes. Presently there are parts of Magodo and Omole phase 1 in Lagos that enjoy uninterrupted electricity. Though their electricity supply arrangement is different from the rest of us'.

Winchman:

Well, Pearl Garden, Paradise, Centenary and Queen's Park estates just off G.U Ake Rd all have nearly 24hrs power supply. Rent in those areas aren't as expensive as Ajah in Lagos. You can get a decent 2 bedroom flat in those places for about 500k and slightly higher. I know folks who pay 300k for such apartments but they are residents who moved in when there wasn't even electricity in those places.

Rapmoney:
The question should be 'Will my great grandchildren ever experience stable power supply in their lifetime?'

Midas01:
My area in PH experience 24 hrs electricity. They take it sometimes but usually bring it back within 5 mins. But I really do hope the entirety of Nigeria can enjoy 24/7 electricity at all times.

GamalNasser:
You keep voting idiots like Buhari and then come back to start asking useless questions ..OP don't Provoke me
