India Are Still Battling With Power Cuts, So Give GEJ TIME To Tackle Problem!

India, the world's fastest growing economy and next in line after China for Superpower Status, are still battling with power cuts. Same as Pakistan. So please give GEJ time to sort out the problem. This thing is not easy especially for highly populated developing countries like Nigeria, India and Pakistan. Sure, tiny nations like Ghana and Togo may have ''24 hour power supply'', but they're such small populations you might as well run them on a single large generator.

For highly populous nations like Nigeria and India, it is not so simple. All sorts of things come into play - logistics, corruption, which comes with the usually high investment in plants and equipment, allied to the antics of generator suppliers (and manufacturers) hell bent on maintaining their huge markets in such countries, and possible western political infiltration/sabotage to prevent the rise of an industrial power in a region designated by them as long term suppliers of raw materials to the west, as opposed to industrialized competitors.

Power Cuts in Pakistan

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/anger-over-power-cuts-hits-streets-of-pakistan-1757491.html

As you can see, the large developing nations are struggling to up their supply and Nigeria is no exception.

All we have to do now is support the current PROGRESS and IMPROVEMENTS being made by GEJ in power generation and distribution, and not elect someone else who will HALT all projects and engage in ''probe'' while the masses languish in darkness.

Thanks!!! 

you are talking bullshit,in India power cuts dont go for days only hrs and you are informed.The are making use of waste,sun,etc.what is Nigeria doing with the hot sun ,large river,s and oceans,waste ,both human and ordinary waste.Abeg dont compare .

So India is now our measuring stick regarding electricity and competency?

I keep telling you, GEJ and his shallow and meager minded umlerra illiterates are nothing but re.tards, lmao

India and Pakistan? Fellow 3rd world countries? What next, should I take pride in being better off than Afghanistan too?

Why not measure against Brazil, South Africa, China, etc.

I KNEW someone would come along to make excuses for the failure of OTHER NATIONS, while making us out to be uniquely evil. Of course we have problems because we are worse human beings than everyone else in the world in your mindset.

Oh, and power cuts don't really last ''for days'' any longer in Nigeria, mostly just for a few hours. You are probably abroad so you wouldn't know this.

But here's some more truth:

India feels the heat as thousands riot over power cuts
Jeremy Page in Delhi

Thousands of people, many wearing only underwear, rioted across northern India yesterday over power cuts that have left millions without electricity or water, highlighting the yawning gap between the country’s superpower aspirations and realities on the ground.

The violence underlined growing public frustration at the Government’s failure to improve the basic infrastructure, especially electricity and water supplies, despite an unprecedented economic boom.

The Government has pledged to provide “power for all” by 2012, but analysts say that it will struggle to keep up with demand as the middle class sates its appetite for electronic goods and larger homes.

While India’s economy has grown at an average of 8 per cent for the past four years, enriching a consumer class of 50-60 million people, half of the billion-plus population are not even connected to the electricity network. Those who are rely on voltage stabilisers, inverters (large batteries) and diesel-powered generators. The power minister in Uttar Pradesh predicted that the energy crisis would last for at least two more years.

lunatic. how can you compare a country the size of india (1.2 billion people and 3.2 million sqm) with nigeria (150 million and .9 million sqm). if india was run by the PDP their country wouldn't have ANY power at all.

India as the largest railway network in the world,you think its chacoal?the whole country is networked with railways lines powered by electricty.Which part of Nigeria where  you refeering to when you said power does not go for weeks,am Nigerian and lived in Lagos ,i have stayed for 1 year without electricity .you must be staying near Obasonjo farm.You cannot compare india and Nigeria ,you are chasing shadows,the are far ahead of Nigeria .

So because India also have power cuts, we shud be relaxed & happy? Rada dan seek to beta our lot, we shud compare ourselves to dem. *Hisses*

Yawwwwwn. see the same  fool that once compared Nigeria to Ghana! Oh, so now you know population has an impact on power availability abi! Hypocrite. By the way India has a higher GDP than Nigeria and a national income commensurate with their geographical and human resources, so they CAN be compared with Nigeria!

And if PDP can produce 4,000 megawatts in Nigeria, they can produce the same proportion in India. India is no less corrupt than Nigeria unless you live in cloud cuckooland.

Ignoramus. They have the FOURTH largest rail network in the world not the largest, and they use mostly DIESEL LOCOMOTIVES NOT ELECTRIC TRAINS.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Railways

Which part of Nigeria where  you refeering to when you said power does not go for weeks,

I am Nigerian and lived in Lagos, i have stayed for 1 year without electricity

Go and pay your bill. You were disconnected! That's why you've not had light for one year, not because of power cuts. Olodo.

you must be staying near Obasonjo farm.You cannot compare india and Nigeria ,you are chasing shadows,the are far ahead of Nigeria.

Yawwwnnnnnn. 500 MILLION Indians are not connected to the national grid. For them its not a question of power cuts, but of ZERO POWER. Same numbers without clean drinking water. I doubt all those hundreds of millions of Indians share your admiration for their country!!! 'Far ahead of Nigeria' indeed!

The thrust of this thread is not to ''relax'', but to be PATIENT with the CLEAR efforts being made by the government to improve the power situation, since as India and others have shown, it is not a one day affair solving power problems in large developing countries!!

You are a textbook analyst ,you need to take a trip to India and and pakistan,i have been to those places and know almost every part of india.India is the largest democracy  in the world and decision making is very slow and projects are politicized .But they are a serious country.

They are planning nuclear power,and they have a lot of cable hands that will do the jobs without foreigners,your country is dominated by white people in all projects including ordinary road construction.you are so proud of 4 000 mega watts, when the city of cairo alone as 25,000 megawatts.How much did pdp give you.party of lazy rent seekers without ideas or innovation ,just stealing and stealing .

what on earth are you talking about. you seem to be a very confused individual. are you going through woman troubles at the moment because it seems as if you can't even focus on whom you are debating with talk less of what it is we are debating.

as for PDP producing 4,000 megawatts, I laugh. i think you'll find that they met 4,000 megawatts when they came into power some 12 years earlier and low and behold here we still are on 4,000 megawatts only now we're some $12-16 billion out of pocket.

and if you really want to make country comparisons then there is only really one figure you need to use:

nigeria total installed capacity: 4,000 megawatts (est.)
india total installed capacity: 171,926.40 megawatts

IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH FOR YOU

You are a textbook analyst ,you need to take a trip to India and and pakistan,i have been to those places and know almost every part of india. India is the largest democracy  in the world and decision making is very slow and projects are politicized .But they are a serious country.

MY FRIEND SHATTAP THERE. You went to India and you saw what?? Don't give me that ''textbook analyst'' crap. India is DIRT POOR. In fact as a whole INDIA IS POORER THAN AFRICA. Here are the facts:

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/india-far-poorer-than-africa-new-measure-shows/story-e6frg6so-1225891801078

They are planning nuclear power

While their people are starving, half of them illiterate, and a third malnourished.

and they have a lot of cable hands that will do the jobs without foreigners,your country is dominated by white people in all projects including ordinary road construction

What codswallop. Tons of construction firms in Nigeria do not have white people on the project teams, including road construction firms. You must be based in America to have typed such ignorance.

you are so proud of 4 000 mega watts, when the city of cairo alone as 25,000 megawatts

With the other bare-faced LIES you've told here, this is probably another one!

Power cuts for days?
Some of u guys should come out of the dens you live in.
Power cuts dont last for DAYS in naija any longer. Unless it has to do with damaged or vandalized transformers or cables.
Even if we generate 50,000 megawatts, that will still result in outages.

You guys should stop making our problems look bigger than they really are.

Anyone can tell you they have installed capacity of 100 billion megawatts.

What is important is what the people see on the ground, and HALF OF INDIA'S POPULATION ARE NOT CONNECTED TO THE NATIONAL GRID.

THOSE WHO ARE, RELY ON GENERATORS AND INVERTERS.

IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH FOR YOU

THAT'S THE REALITY ON THE GROUND.

FOR THEM, YOUR STATISTICS ARE INSULTING AND MEANINGLESS.

My brother you can't blame them. They live overseas, so are not current with Nigeria (excuse the pun).

Some of the people posting here about how terrible Nigeria is haven't returned home for over 25 years!

you sound as if you've never left your village let alone the country so how the hell would you know what the situation is "on the ground."

anyways, dude, i'm gonna leave you now. you'd be wise to leave this thread too because even the hardcore GEJ team have steered clear from this as they know they can't defend your lunacy.

joker.

Brainless Indian asss kisser, you've no clue where I've been and we certainly know you've been nowhere without feeling like a slave, you 2nd class asss-licking he-goat.

You cannot defend the lies you've tried to type here, and you cannot contend with my grasp of the facts and cold, hard statistics. So bugger off and go eat a rotten burger and fries, you foreign twerp.

Indian slums - Not 'far ahead' at all.

Lame Gej supporters with their Brazen EDIOCRITY!!!

The OP's brain is filled with Iron buckets of Gutter Water. He might not even be Nigerian afterall, may be Nigerien. I feel like giving his head a hard knock.

so you are comparing scheduled power cuts for a few hours in a certain section(not all) of india .that clearly the government there is worried about enough to comment on it to nigeria
Nigeria- unscheduled power cuts affecting the whole country lasting hours to months with no end in sight for as long as anyone in nigeria seems to remember.

please there is no comparism.if ghana can solve this problem then there is no excuse for nigeria not to.

we are lead by politicians who stockpile money in other people country and will simply abandon the country if it collapses.

the sad part is look at fellow african countries - ivory coast,tunisa,egypt,libya they got fed up of all the corruption and backward ways of their leaders and stood up.We do nothing but praise them as we fall deeper into the well and let them rig their way to power.

shame!

The original poster is a lowlife. So we shouldn't look up to Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea? But India? Pls don't get me started this evening o.

Come on shattap there my friend! Do you know the first thing about how and WHY those places became developed in such a short period starting from the 1950s?

Was it not straight after WW2 that the western allies opened their domestic markets and threw in unprecedented levels of cash, technical skills and foreign investment into those countries to shore them up as capitalist outposts against rampaging communism? That is the ONLY reason those countries you mentioned became ''tiger economies''. 

Countries in the same neighbourhood like Burma, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Laos, North Korea, Vietnam, Bhutan, and Nepal held no strategic value to the west and so remain mired in the poverty and backwardness that would have been the fate of the ''tiger economies'' in the absence of direct western intervention.

Now STFU and let those of us who know what's what in the world educate you!

Your keyboard drips with self-loathing lies and rubbish. Sure, in Nigeria power outages when they occur ''affect the whole country and last for months''. DUMB ASSS, LYING, American-based, plate-washing pea brain.
