Surely the Chinese are making giant strides in every sector you can think about. Energy is one of such, they are really slaying it, both in China and outside China. Read the piece below on their recent exploits in solar energy.

MightySparrow:
Nigeria is a gathering of all kinds of wild animals

I don't think that's what we are as a people. I think we are a people on a mission of self discovery. We are on a learning robe but slow in our approach. I think we will surely progress with time.

The Nigeria Power Sector has lots of challenges. It is not generating enough electricity, it is therefore not transmitting and distributing enough electricity. The Mambilla Power Project is the most ambitious hydro power project ever conceived in the history of this country. It is therefore worrisome that after over 4 decades of its conception, its execution have not started. Could this new move by the present government now be a ground breaking one, are we really going to move ahead with the Mambilla Power Project? Read more on the link below:

the truth is many Nigerian who go to the science department in school do that not because they have passion for it rather they do so because of hope of getting nice any high paying job. scientific work and projects takes time to mature. there are going to be many failures before success, the average African man do have time for that. they ready available money

You are on point, Africans do not dedicate enough time for things, its always a case of wanting results NOW and NOW! We need to start by changing that mindset. There is this common saying that, "If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change". That is what Africans need to do in order to start getting things right!

Nigeria is non scientific nation

It depends on the way you look at it. An average Nigeria is tech-conscious, he wants to use the latest product in the field of technology, many Nigerians (students) still go to school to learn science, they want to be medical doctors, engineers, scientists and what have you in science field. I think the actual challenge is in the provision of the right environment for them to really learn all they need to know, that is where the role of policy makers are called into question. The same thing shows up when it comes to the differential in application of technology between the public and private sector, the gap is so wide, the later is far ahead of the former.

There is no one solution to the multi-headed challenges plaguing the power sector. It is a fact that the nation needs to generate more but that is not even the starting point. You obviously need to evacuate whatever you generate through transmission then to distribution. At the moment, Nigeria distribution infrastructure lags behind that of generation and transmission, meaning that, what we are even generating at the moment, we can't transmit all of it, that's why you always hear about the grid collapsing as it can not even sustain and transmit all that is generated. The distribution network that gets the transmitted power to the end users (customers) is even worse off, its own capacity is less than that of the transmission sub-unit. That is why you find the DisCos rejecting generated electricity, because they do not have the infrastructure that could even sustain our current generation and transmission levels. The reported current generation capacity hovers slightly below 8,000 Megawatts, transmission at 7,000 Megawatts plus and distribution is still at 4,000 plus megawatts (below 5,000MW) capacity. Fair enough, the distribution end is much more challenging and demanding than the generation, while transmission demand is also very huge. We need to do more for the weakest link for now to stop it from wasting what we even generating at the moment, else if we do otherwise, it will still be a wasted effort.
As for nuclear, it can only form part of our mix, not even the major for now. Using economy of scale, Nigeria has the better options of gas plants with our enormous gas reserves, fueling the plants should not be an issue, we only need to work on how to pipe the gas to the plants and there are also rivers to dam for power generation, a good example is the Mambilla that we have actually not really worked on for about 4 decades, it has the capacity of over 3,000 Megawatts, more than all our currently existing plants. Globally, you will observe that more nations have shifted towards gas fired plants in the last 2 decades in trying to move away from the "dirty" coal than nuclear plants. The issue of waste of nuclear plant is still a long term thing to contend with and don't also forget that apart from being very complex to maintain, nuclear plants accidents make it a high risk, we are still very careless as a nation, you remember recently and down memory lane; Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (2011), Chernobyl disaster (1986), Three Mile Island accident (1979), and the SL-1 accident (1961). You don't have such complexity with gas fired plants, and the other options except nuclear.

The Nigeria Power Sector's transition in recent time into a private sector driven sector is one that is laden with so much challenges and arguments. It cuts across the 3 major component segments of the sector (generation, transmission and distribution). The regulatory aspect which continues to be the sole responsibility of government is also not left out of the upheavals of the sector. In the midst of all the conversations, controversies and blame tradings going on in the sector, customers, that are a major stakeholder in the sector, often forget that they have their rights and as well, obligations, as regards their dealings in the sector. Here is a quick reminder of this in the piece referenced below(click link below to read more):

Last week, British Prime Minister Theresa May met with the presidents of Nigeria, South Africa, and Kenya as part of her three-nation tour of Africa. During the trip, May committed to shifting her government’s development focus from short-term programs to focusing on longer-term economic and security issues. As part of the commitment, the British government will invest an additional $5.2 billion (4 billion pounds) on the continent focusing on youth employment. Part of the trip also focused on issues of security and corruption.

On Wednesday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel began a three-day trip to West Africa where she will visit Senegal, Ghana, and Nigeria. The trip is expected to focus on migration and investment in Africa with several German business leaders joining the trip. Addressing migration from Africa to Europe, the Merkel through her spokesperson said, “We must fight illegality but also create legality and conditions for work here on the ground.”

Nigeria as a nation still have a long way to go with the resolution of the various challenges being encountered in its power sector. Its is the story of system collapse, power rejection, metering challenge, liquidity challenge or what have you, just an endless list. This is the latest, electricity grid lose of power due to technical challenges.

Zoo is still struggling with Pencil production

Even the one we initially promised to build, we are dragging our feet. See what the MD of Transmission Company of Nigeria said recently on the nuclear plant Nigeria is planning to build:

See the direction of the new frontier of nuclear power, floating nuclear power plants pioneered by the Russians, the very first of its kind.

Along the shore of Kola Bay in the far northwest of Russia lie bases for the country’s nuclear submarines and icebreakers. Low, rocky hills descend to an industrial waterfront of docks, cranes and railway tracks. Out on the bay, submarines have for decades stalked the azure waters, traveling between their port and the ocean depths. Russia is conducting an experiment with nuclear power, one that backers say is a leading-edge feat of engineering but that critics call reckless.: Read more:http://energydiscuss.com/the-nuclear-power-plant-of-the-future-may-be-floating-near-russia/
