Why is it so easy to fool us? Why?
Did Fashola not say something similar before he was given the opportunity to do it as part of the APC change promises, only to fcvk up terribly

Power supply: All homes in Lagos will be lit in six months if… —Fashola

The governor, while commissioning the fifth IPP, said: “Let the EKO DISCOs sign a contract with me, giving part of their concessioning to the state government. In about six to eight months, there will be power in all homes in Lagos State.

“So, let no one say that he has no money to deliver power for the entire country. This is the limit to which the law allows us to do, but we have done this to make a statement that power can be generated.

‘’So, when they come with lies that power is impossible, you can tell them that we have power here; we make it possible.”

He opined that the project showed that the money to improve the Nigerian economy is here, “since we don’t need the World Bank to come and do this for us.”

Lol

I guess he's talking about syngas.

The technology has been around for more than 50 years.

You can even produce your own gas from waste products in your backyard.

Plenty of videos on you tube.


The Professor is presenting it as some kind of indegenous technological breakthrough.

Where is the professor going to get enough waste product to produce enough gas needed for an entire local government 24hrs a day, 365 day a year.

It can't compete with the gas that is extracted from the ground, which Nigeria has in abundance.

banku:
Thank you Professor.

All the old universities were empowered with brain, know-how and technical abilities of solar, gas and wind power available in their laboratories to extend it to local governments.

What happened?

they prefer to go on strike

Is Fashola an Engineer or a Lawyer cum politician.

I have 24 hours electricity. I use solar.

If everybody can do same, we wouldn't have energy issues.
I share power to my neighbours

Talk is cheap.
We keep feeding ourselves with mere rhitorics whithout backing it up with necessarily action.

See empty heads here thinking that what the professor said is not possible. The solution to the electricity crisis is exactly what he has proffered, de-emphasize national grid system and go for mini and micro grid system where different companies are licensed to generate and distribute electricity for different towns and cities. For instant, who says that Lagos government cannot license two or three electricity generating companies to build their gas turbines, generate and distribute electricity for say Ajah, or VI or Ikorodu. Why must the entire Lagos be waiting for load allocation from national grid that is always failing. Why can FCT for instance license different companies to build gas turbines to power the entire Kubwa or Lugbe or Gwagwalada rather than wait for AECD alone. I understand exactly what the professor is saying. We are rich in gas, we can use our gas to fire our turbines to generate endless electricity.

Wisereborn:
Will the government allow it

There will be no avenue for them to borrow

They are the greatest problem we are having in this country

Protect yourselves and light up your immediate environment first

They don't need government approval.

Electricity has been deregulated.

He should power Enugu State first and spread it to cover the whole South East before coming out with his lies.

Ibos and self deception!

Perhaps it's possible... but the government will thwart it

Your question is why I asked why we are easily fooled.

To have stable electricity, vote out PDP – Fashola

July 11, 2014

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, has said the only way the country can have stable electricity is to vote out the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from power in next year’s general election.

Fashola, who gave the counsel while marking his 2,600 days in office at an elaborate ceremony held at the Blue Roof of the Lagos Television premises, said electricity crisis in the country is caused by lack of ideas and insincerity of purpose on the part of Federal Government.

He said,” Yes I agree with you that it is possible to generate electricity and to make sure that everybody in this country has electricity, we have to do the right thing. But you know what, the only way that you and I will have electricity in this country will be to vote out the PDP.

They obviously won't, for obvious reasons.

He is deceiving his Ibo people.

Why not power Enugu State first.
Does he even need any approval when electricity has been deregulated?

The prof is talking like an illiterate.

Is Fashola Igbo also

It can never happen in Nigeria because it will block the avenue for government officials to loot the Treasury through overinflated contracts. It is akin to fixing the refineries--bad business.

With which fund?
Find him and see if won't do it.

Nobody will fund him.
He should approach his state governor or a bank.

Let him power power Ibo land first

Power your state first

Physician heal thyself

Decentralization is the key but it can't be via LGA...some LGAs don't have the capacity to pay salaries not to talk of running electricity into households and maintaining the infrastructure. When people talk, they should always consider the "Naija" factor not just textbook analysis. Now If you say combine some LGAs with less capacity and let some stand alone then determine which LGAs will get Govt subsidy and so on...we can talk but not blanket statement like 10MW per LGAs or whatever...some LGAs will also require more and some will require less.

Free or with air or without money to power it?

This is what I don't like about like about the way we practice engineering in Africa, it is all about paper presentation. Let this professor put this research work into practice in UNN and bring out the results that will now warrant support from FGN.
Fiscal and monetary policy can never stabilize our currency but increase in production activities will do. Our engineers and scientists have a lots to contribute to achieve this increase in production activities

🤣🤣🤣



I can power the world in 48 hours

SpecialAdviser:
Nonesense noisemakers everywhere. I recently visited UNN my alma mater and found out everywhere was dark.

Let this efulefu power UNN first. UNN is rapidly losing its glory in the hands of it's latest fraud managers.

Do some of you think with your anus? You should at least know that this will require huge funding that the average Nigerian school can't afford and that's where the government come in

Sergioaguero:


Free or with air or without money to power it?

Ask him

We Can, We Can. Look where we are now. Just tired of "WE CAN" Nigerians need actions not We can.

GeneralPula:

Tell them to power Abia state first before the whole Nigeria..

I’m sure Alex Otti will allow it..

Btw... the greatest problem we’re having is this federalism! We should just go back to regionalism!

Electricity generation and distribution has been deregulated by Buhari.

Ibos like blaming everyone for their woes.

Let him power his local government or state and let's see.

Gadafii:
Govt will definitely not allow this to happen

Terrorism and power are one of the major, sources of embezzlement in this country

The same government that has deregulated? There are enough laws allowing people to generate power now and sell same.

Always find out before commenting.

Everything is not about sentiment.

Bigotry does not provide solution either..... Learn to think like a human being and shun bigotry.

If the pros and cons of this have been properly examined and put to test, I strongly hope Govt considers this.

This is what the East os blessed with, I pray we can work synergistically.

RepoMan007:
What he is saying is quite simple and the trendy way of power generation advanwd nations are embracing. Distributed generation tied together by a bigger grid but personal greed is not helping issues.

He is talking rubbish to deceive his ibo people.

Electricity has been fully derelegulated.
He should get his licence and start from his Local government.

Two years is too much. Fashola already did this same thing in 6 months.

mukthar2000:
Start from ur community first let see how active, then we no what next , if to allow u power Nigeria within 1week ,not within 24moth.

Who's the "we" here bro? Yall overate yourselves too much cos you are nobody but your bigotry always preceeds your brain.

No mind them

I expect SE govs to rally around this initiative - no

There will be limited Avenue to steal

I expect Igbos to donate to this initiative - no

Na arms they want to buy and continue to champion bigotry through obi
