and yet there's no light

TheRareGem1:
Who told you that. Where do you live, let's verify because light has improved throughout. Though not better but it has improved and by the time Siemens deal kick start and other reforms, light would be better.

Transmission is different from distribution.

I shame for Nigeria! Celebration of mediocrity is the order of the day, South Africa with a population of 80 million people produces 51,309 megawatts, which is close to 10 times the amount we generate.

OH SHUT UP...

Go and learn history before talking rubbish.

South Africa's power generation industry is at least 80 years older than Nigeria's.

Meaning they've been pouring investment into power for nearly a century longer than Nigeria.

South Africa's first power stations were built in the 1890s. By 1920 they had 4 huge power plants. By 1960 that number had reached past 20, with several older plants decommissioned due to old age.

All this was before Nigeria had built her FIRST power plant.

Contrast SA's history with Nigeria's:

Nigeria's FIRST power plant was Kainji Dam, commissioned in 1964 by the Balewa govt.

One thing many of you folks need to understand is that Nigeria is a NEWCOMER to modern development, a major reason being serious colonial looting, neglect and exploitation that saw the country only start to develop meaningfully AFTER independence in 1960.

It will take SEVERAL DECADES for Nigeria to be where you ''expect'' her to be in terms of development.

It is nothing to be ashamed about or beat yourselves up about. It's simply history playing itself out.

Comparing yourselves to ''South Africa'' is as dumb as beating yourself up for being behind in a race, in which your opponent started 200 metres ahead of you.

In the meantime, contribute your quota in a meaningful way instead of posting shallow garbage that betrays your intellectual vacuity.

Nigeria is always Celebrating MEDIOCRITY

Fashola took it to 7,000 megawatt during the time he occupied that office but boom! this aboki came and reduce it below 3000, now that he luckily made it to 5000 we won't rest



most of Nigeria leaders and the citizens ought to be going for brain test as they're going for NCDC test. nonsense


I should be jubilating that megawatt is rising when I'm paying enough bills not to even warrant the drop in the first place

RuudVanNisteroy:
And some clowns are celebrating this.
