According to your link

Access to electricity (Nk) - 52.6
Access to electricity (NG) - 59.5

Access to electricity in rural areas - unavailable data. So I don't know where you saw your non-existent rural power.

Other notable data to take note of.

55% of households in North Korea have access to cheap solar systems (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-solar-feature/cheap-solar-panels-power-consumer-appliance-boom-in-north-korea-idUSKCN1RT2P1/)

Increased power generation by private companies has resulted to North Korea having 22 hours daily electricity (https://english.hani.co/arti/english_edition/e_northkorea/878329.html)

Meanwhile in Nigeria, they will count me that has 2 hours electricity every 4 days as having access to electricity. Go to Ibedc Twitter page and see people complaining everyday of not having light for weeks. Those ones too will be classified as having access to electricity.

As a student, I was posted to do my IT in Isaga-orile near Abeokuta, Ogun state. I spent one year in that place. I only saw light once in that town for just 10 minutes. 10 minutes in a year will also be classified as having access to electricity.

Like the Yoruba adage says, Ti won ba n tan e, ma tan ra re. Make we no dey deceive ourselves.


Btw, see attached image. An electricity distribution company had the audacity to release to the public that it supplies people with 0 and 1 hours electricity daily. I'm sure you'll classify those ones too as having access to electricity.

All the above does not happen in Nigeria. It's the other way round. Government has absolute power here and can do anything and get away with it especially when the leader is aligned towards the USA , all violations if human Rights will be overlooked.

Tiopii:


The ultimate enforcers of democracy are the citizens not the Govt.

It's just easy for us to blame the US govt, when Americans have issues with the govt they take it up with the govt with one voice, but we expect the US govt to side with us against the FGN. Who does that? People we elected and gave power?

Our problem isn't democracy or the Us govt, it is first us refusing to come as one and allowing major institutions to be captured by the few.

The US isn't the FGN watchdog.

Tiopii:


You shouldn't be making any estimate based on videos you've seen.
I don't like discussing the Israel/Palestine matter cos of it's complicated nature.
Would you expect Palestine to accept being anti semic or the Israel to accept the genocide claim?

There's no place I said Protest is wrong and I feel like if I continue to express my opinion you'd intensionally misquote me.

Govt determines the extremes of protests, once it gets to a certain threshold as determined by the Govt they would use force.

People can protest and they can also change the govt, atleast democracy allows for that. what other system of govt allows for dissenting views? There's no perfect democracy in the World.

I think the US condemns when the protests leads to deaths as a result of govt high-handedness.

Share a link, so I can read what exactly happened in the protest you're taking about.

@Balogunodua at this point you are just lying... We have better roads and light than NK in your village or where exactly? and how do we have a better healthcare system than them... Did this guy forget that NK is an Asian country?

You said you will prove to me that the 200m people in Nigeria is living better than nk... Go ahead and do it, show me the proof

Lol if it doesn't affect the scheme of things in the global affairs, USA won't be all over the place trying to persuade Niger to change their mind. They are becoming irrelevant in international politics especially in Africa and they hate the fact that Russia is the one giving African nations the boldness to dare their former colonies and the USA . It's a known fact by everyone.

Tiopii:


You truly believe that N.Koreans are better off than Nigerians?

FoolishBoy419:


@bolded that's my point. but USA and the EU expect others to maintain the standards that they themselves cannot uphold. *They expect their enemies to stand down and do nothing even as protests turn into riots, as sponsored "rebels" take up arms against governments.* The funny thing is that there's no riot or violence going on, yet they are arresting and threatening students everywhere as if it's Uganda

Balogunodua:


Ask him to show you how NK is better than Nigeria with proven data and watch him start deviating to military supremacy.

Politics is a game of interest, no permanent friends no permanent foes.

Russia isn't doing anything, it is just bad governance by the leaders of those countries and Russia seems like the alternative to the US/EU. Let's see what they would gain by having closer ties with Russia.

Let's see what Russia would bring to those countries that are seeming to want closer ties. Those leaders who invited Russia, are they doing it on behalf of the people or to protect themselves in power?

The US would rather have Europe on lock down over Africa at the moment, and there are still significant portions of Africa aligned with the US.

Russia is losing influence in former USSR republics, parts of Africa can't make up for that.

Jovi10:


Lmao we don't give them power here because our votes doesn't count . If you protest police will shoot you and you'll just die in vain .

seunny4lif:

many of those countries have already said they will be sending Ukrainians back to Ukraine

Jovi10:


An agreement has already been reached to build nuclear reactors that will supply electricity to them which will make them stop being reliant on ours.

Europe is losing bing time from Africa, Africa is very important to the world it's just we Africans that doesn't know our worth. This is a big blow to the USA they themselves have admitted it. So who are you to help them deny or defend the humiliation they are currently going through?


10 years ago how many countries would dare the USA aside China and Russia ? None but loot at it today nations all over the world have suddenly found their voice and can stand up to the USA and her allies knowing fully well they will be supported.

Sanctions, regime change etc no longer works, the sooner the USA starts using true democracy and interes for both and not for them alone approach the better for them, but if they want to keep using force, it's not helping them in anyway. Even if Trump wins, if he still wants to play by the old books, America's influence will still keep deteriorating.

Tiopii:


There's no perfect democracy, but some democracies are more matured than the other. Every govt is furthering it's own interest.

I don't understand the areas I 🌟.

Share the link of the protests you was talking bout

Kremlingrad:
Dystopianmuse and kremlingrad how does the two relate? And of course muse is only copying and pasting news here just like wriiternig vi3ly etc

Vl3ly:
rape ? On protest ground?

You be mumu

Balogunodua:


You clearly did not understand the data

That 52.6 for NK was only for those in the Urban area...there was nothing for the rural because their rural areas lack electricity...so I am actually right when I said Nigeria is far far better than NK in access to electricity.

Reuters is not a source of data when it comes to energy...I can also pull out source that disagree with you.


Like I said even the countries people like you will classify have more electricity than Nigeria..there are places you don't get 5 hours of electricity in SA.

FoolishBoy419:


Show me one video of any ptotester doing that. Just one

⚡Tanzania have shut down five hydroelectric stations in a bid to reduce excess electricity in the national grid.

It is the first time Tanzania, which suffers chronic power shortages, has closed hydroelectric stations due to excess production.

Procashtips:


Excess production?

Why not sell the surplus?

Africans!

I have been and still dealing with data in my work. I'll not misrepresent a data. Maybe you should go ahead and re-read the link.
The 52.6 was for all of North Korea. There is no available data for both urban and rural areas.

Now Reuters is not a good source despite them mentioning at least 5 good sources in the article. I'm waiting for your source that disagrees with me.

Nigeria is a disgrace when it comes to basic human needs. Electricity, good roads, security, housing and water. It's even worse with our current man in Aso-rock as the country is currently in regression. As a Lagosian, I have had to apologize to everyone I promoted Tinubu to. I never imagined there will be anybody worse than Buhari but see how wrong I am.

I need your proof of places in South Africa with less than 5 hours daily electricity. As far as I know, load-shedding in South Africa is in stages and has never gone beyond stage 8 so I need your evidence.

I'm a Yoruba conservative myself but you're beginning to sound like an APC man. We have a Yoruba man as the minister of power. The city I stay in, he is more popular than even the president himself. It is now common for children as young as 5 to say "Ko ni da fun Adelabu".

Is it US/EU fault we have bad electricity in Africa?

What Russia is trying to do is replace western dependence with Eastern dependence, either way it isn't good for Africa.

We have 54 countries in Africa, and a significant portion have strong ties with the US, the most powerful African nations actually. Russia's influence in Africa isn't as strong as you're hoping.

Personally, Africa isn't ready for anything Nuclear, we are too unstable there are other safer alternative for electricity.

Even Russia and China don't want war with the US/EU, you're misinformed on the power disparity between them. If the US/EU comes for any nation I can assure you, China and Russia won't get involved militarily. They barely have enough to defend themselves against NATO.

Balogunodua:


Lol...you definitely don't work with data like you claimed..cause if you do, getting those data shouldn't be a problem for you

First pics is for Nigeria rural areas to electricity

The second pics is for is for Urban access to electricity

Third pics is for Nigeria a totaaccessss to electricity
