There is no way you can supply electricity now in Nigeria profitably that's is why we don't have Comericial electricity constant

How is this difficult for you guys to even understand I don't get

There is a reason estates have 24 hours electricity but mainland dont have

Everything is about profit!!!

Have you not heard discos rejecting power?

Discos amd power generation companies are surviving because of subsidies from federal government if not they can never be profitable

Like bros how's this difficult to understand[/b]

Nigeria is not rich enough to provide free electricity to Nigerians Nigerians have to pay If they want it and we don't have enough Nigerians capable of paying

If you don't get this now I'm done

mrvitalis:

Is there any law stopping any industry from having electricity? ... There is no one in Nigeria that wants electricity and can pay for it that can't take it?

ElSudani:


SMEs are actually very important for poverty eradication in any economy not just the big companies.
When you understand that these SMEs are the most impacted by unreliable supply or no electricity then you will understand the importance of what we are talking about.
If you are a dairy farmer with lots of cows in some rural community in Nigeria without electricity would you still argue that the problem is money or lack of it?

Yujin:

We are saying similar things but not the same. Your position is that people must work hard to improve their financial status before expecting a steady power supply while my position is that the government whether state or central must ensure a steady power supply is available so those who can afford it will be able to utilized it to create more wealth for themselves. NO ONE IS ASKING FOR FREE ELECTRICITY.
The problem with your position is that it will never happen. Wealth creation and financial improvement in this generation is tied to a steady supply of power. Anything less will put a people on the disadvantaged side of this highly competitive world. Do you know how much farm pdoduce perish weekly due to improper storage as a result of epileptic electricity supply? Do you know the amount of loss suffered all around because of it? If you don't know, it is one of the major reason behind the closure of many businesses.
Rent is cheaper here in Nigeria than other countries but absence of steady power is still killing businesses.
You'll never understand until you visit other countries where a steady power supply is available.

mrvitalis:

Name the SME that can't survive without government power... Give example

Rostikol:


Damn… If this is true, then we probably need to consider nuclear power plants. Those can ramp up power generation in a big way without costing the masses.

mrvitalis:

Bros every company that closed ask them what closed them is never lack of power

I have a factory I have never been connected to power... Even with diesel at 1000 it's not the upto 5% the cost of production

Not yo talk of big companies that use CNG gas turbine that's 300per kg

Electricity is not our problem we have bigger problem

ElSudani:


And your factory's power requirement is exactly like every others out there?

mrvitalis:

It's a small scale factory.... The bigger the factory the bigger the generator the bigger the generator the lower the cost of production

ElSudani:


Really? I just cited the example of dairy farmer. Is this not an SME in your estimation? Did you think it is economically feasible to generate his own electricity?
Perhaps welders and barbers, mechanics and shoe makers etc should generate their own uninterrupted electricity.

ElSudani:


Generators if used at all in industrialized countries are for temporary back up, there's a reason for this.

mrvitalis:

Most big companies In developed countries have generate their own electricity oga do your research... Most big companies
Do your research

Why because it's cheaper to produce your own power

mrvitalis:

NIGERIANS HAVE ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY

we just don't have access to centralized stables electricity and centralized constant electricity is not important for Industrialization

What we need us gas supply... We need access to gas

ElSudani:


You are talking nonsense now.

Akano5:
The truth is we need electricity -- not as a want but as a right as a Nigerian..

nairalanda1:


I've said what you are saying in different language, but Nigerians no wan hear.

Electricity is expensive. Very much so.

mrvitalis:

Be like say we gets dey do podcast they educate Nigerians on this thing

See small education way obi do see the effect ..
Majority of Nigerians are ignorant

iwaeda:

Electricity is not EXPENSIVE, but lack of planning. Do you know poor spend more generating electricity by buying fuel? I once did a research of power generation in a zone.

mrvitalis:

That is a big lie

Very big lie there is no how you can have 24 hours electricity without every house paying $60 minimum a month

It's cheaper to on gen when you need it even for a small business

iwaeda:


Have you researched how every single state in the North can be on solar and wind powered, not even hydro?

CodeTemplar:
Dangote will soon generate more power for his industries than our grid can take at once.

mrvitalis:
The problem has never been electricity the problem has been poverty

If Nigerians are rich enough we would have 24 hours electricity

In fact 90% of Nigerians that can afford 24 hrs electricity enjoy near 24 hours electricity in Nigeria its that simple
How many did Peter Obi support during his time as govèrñór?
You started very well with ur comment and ended it poorly.
Obi had the opportunity to do these stuffs as govèrñór, what did he do about it?
Nothing, today he is suggesting.

Nigerians are too poor

Wealth creation through SMEs like Peter Obi suggested is the key thing

Lmaooo let me humor you yes electricity but not commercial electricity

Any serious factory can produce all their electricity they need

If sweets n chewing gum factory can power themselves

Electricity is not an excuse why we are not industrialized
The reason for the second industrial revolution was gas so people could produce power when when they want not commercial electricity

E go hard to educate Nigerians sha

Yorubafonja:

What are you saying,,
Are u using ur head,, what has Nigerians poverty got to do with government electrical infrastructure uninterrupted power?,
