Atiku might sound practical because he was once the vice president of Nigeria but if his solution to power problem is as straightforward as he said then why has the current government not gone for that? Atiku also made reference to power transmission capacity which he said has never met up with generation and which is causing collapse in the system. According to him, if you generated enough power that you cannot transmit, then the whole system will collapse. Obi might sound out of touch with Nigerian reality but he is the only one offering practical examples of other countries doing great jobs in solving the power problem in a specific timeframe that Nigerians can really relate with in terms of expected results given the presidency term period in the country. For instance, he said Egypt was able to generate about 30,000 megawatts in 5 years but he promised to do half of that for Nigeria in his first term. I don't think any of that sound like a political rhetoric. |

ochejoseph: OP you are the one with the poor understanding of the power problem in Nigeria. Leave the technical gibberish that Atiku dished out, it does not even address the problem, and mean while Atiku is part of the problem, having stakes in the Yola Disco company. The Disco's were expected to invest in power dustribution. Uptill now the FG is still funding prepaid meters. And Discos loose more than 40% of power wheeled to their network. We currently have more than 50% unutilized power generation capacity all located in the South South used natural gas. Most of them are not utilized because the national grid cannot carry more than yhe 8000MW currently being wheeled from one part of the country to another. The others gas turbines are not being utilized because they are not connected by gas pipelines. Especially those initiated by Obasanjo with Atiku as his vice. Gas piping and national grid expansion are very costly ventures that will eat beyobd national budget. The alternative is what Obi is telling you about. Decentralize the Grid into Sub grids and generate power within each sub grid. Eliminate the power wheeling that is very costly. So As the grip is now, it is rated for 8000MW. If you split it into Six regional grids, each one will still be rated for 8000MW. If you can proceed to build power plants in each regional grid, except South South, which alread has more than enough. Then our consumption capacity will jump from 8000MW, to 8000MW x6 =48,000 MW. The struggle is then how to build power plants in each grid. In the north you can focus on hydro and solar power plants, in the South West, gas turbines will be cheapest in the South East Coal will be cheapest, even though gas turbines will work too but only in Anambra, Imo, Abia and Delta. Do not say people are answering poorly when you lack the background to fully understand what they are saying, rather you should ask questions. 2 Likes |

LordOfTheGame: maybe you were too blind to read where I wrote 'realistic and clearcut plan' in the comment you quoted. Yes bubu truly promised to fix security, economy & unemployment (and even turn 1$ to 1naira), but those were mere talks; there was never a time he gave any realistic and clearcut idea on how he intended to do so. I don't fall for such deceptive campaigns, never! |

The way Atiku spoke about 90% northerners who are not on internet makes me to be very concerned. For him it is a positive development that can work in his favor. Hence that 90% may not be discerning or concerned about the quality of the candidates. On the contrary Obi referred to same as a problem to be solved. |

Atiku is talking about electricity generation with coal that the world has agreed to phase out because of climate change. If an aspiring leader of a nation doesn't know that, he shouldn't be contesting in the first place |

pacespot: Atiku is fooling himself and his fans, not Nigeria. He fooled and looted is once, but not again. He privatized electricity and sold our power assets to his cronies so exactly what is he talking about. Our deal with Siemens is complete overhaul from generation to transmission, dub stations, software and power management.. Transmission is part of or deal with Siemens. Atiku and Pandora are empty head olodo..

Posts like these makes me really believe Nigerians deserve another 8 years of hardship. Maybe then they'll learn to know what's good for them. Obi has nothing to prove to anyone. When he wrote his name in gold as governor, he didn't do it with today in sight, so he wasn't pretending. It is who he is. Well he has said we shouldn't reply posts like these that tend to demean his person so I leave you to your post |

ochejoseph:All this Atiku bots on Nairaland Wen I criticized his Arise interview on one of the post, they deleted my comment and suspended my account for 24hrs But here u are again! Comparing the LACKLUSTER INTERVIEW with Obi’s PANDORA SOLUTIONS? Well, solution 1. Is pure scam. He knows very well Kainji dam’s turbines will not be replaced. The dam have never functioned to maximum from day one cause the turbines from inception were incomplete. Soution 2 is not going to happen Don let dem fool u Solution 3 That is wot is currently in use Which has brought more darkness to the nation more than light None of these, including solar, address the fundamental reason why the nation has never cease to abide in blackouts. |

Atiku answer during the interview shows incompetence. he said evacuation problems because the distribution lines were not upgraded. Can you believe it? You spend 16 billion dollars on power and you did not at least make it work properly. what of that foolish nass member that stole part of the money? |

plaindealer:They signed contract in 2019, construction started this year, and how far has the construction been and by the way, how would you know that they are getting it right if you don't even know the right thing? That has been our problem, when you give someone work to do, you don't care to know if the person is doing the right or not until everybody gets tired and forget about it. all the policies, contracts and pronouncements made by your wicked people have all gone to train. You and your wicked government came up with sim and bvn registration to tackle insecurity and now even your president is under danger of been kidnapped. and I know that if peter had gone elsewhere to study how it would be implemented successful, your type would have insulted hell out of him. Just be careful of what you are wishing for out of tribal sentiment might provide you all more than you bargained for. |

KikBuhari2Daura:Atiku has all the knowledge needed but listen to his boss tell you that he is a liar. Who do you prefer, a sweet talker or a man with the will. A man with the will only needs a chance. A con man knows every route to success but will never take one, but play you. As far as I am concerned, the problem with Nigeria is not about who knows what. It is actually the powers that be. The godfatherism and the slew of loyalists that one must feed to sustain power. Atiku is the biggest importer of generators to Nigeria. How can such a man provide stable power for you? Atiku has a long list of loyalists and support blocks. Atiku knows it all but spent 8 years as a 2nd most powerful man in the country without hinting or making a move on it. What really can these old men do? Nothing but the same ole. I just need a fresh face and one that is not powered by the josses. |

You have knowingly stirred the hornet's nest! They're going to eat you raw. You know them now, or don't you? They brook no opposition, whether to their opinions and conclusions or their preferred choices and things that have to do with their messiah.

richiemcgold: This is where I currently stand too. I will like to know how each of the candidate plans to fix the 3 things you listed (power, economy and restructuring) as well as insecurity which you didn't mention. Further to, I will scrutinize what each of the candidate had done in the past to address the 4 key areas I mentioned. Based on this, I will make up my mind on who to vote. I am not persuaded by the ethnic or religious arguments that have pervaded our political landscape at the moment. |

and what of tinubu ? obi was a governor just like tinubu. even though tinubu was a senator before. stop discouraging people with talent. if you read obi's story you will be surprised. he spent 3 years in court fighting the governor electoin until he was declared winner. then the dull inec expecting him to serve only 1 year? he challenged it and spent the full 4 years. after that they impeached him because he was being stingy on costs and i think he used people he knows for procurement at cheaper costs. when i read the story, i started to respect him. so don't judge a book by its cover. you think atiku that was a vice president for 8 years and was in charge of power problems, is better? for 8 years, atiku spent 16 billion dollars to fix power, but there's no result.
