Reference: I like your argument but the people in the executive are elected to make important decisions for the people. If we allow all decisions to be open to wider audience all the time, the govt will become impotent. I don't see anything wrong with asking for local content, this one of the ways to build our own local production. These countries ask for these all the time, hence it's no big deal to ask for the same. Sometimes you have to bargain hard. If they refuse, another company will eventually step up and take the deal, especially the Chinese. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Emu4life: The idea was started with Sowere during his failed presidential campaign he highlighted Egypt successful implementation of 15,000 MW for $6.7 in 27 months, Fashola picked it up and confirmed that his ministry of power was in consultation with Siemen. Abba Kyari wasn't supposed to be involved in the Siemen project, this was the responsibility of Saleh Mamman and the Ministery of Power but he was so useless that Abba Kyari had to accompany him to Germany The question is who appointed Saleh Mamman? 6 Likes 1 Share |

PHIPEX: 40 percent local content is doable, we just need the technological know how on putting these together. The main reasons for poor electricity production is poor planning, greed and selfishness. Most of the people involved in the process are greedy and mostly care about what is in it for them just like the rest of the citizens. 1 Like 1 Share |

IPIGSRDOTARDS: If Nigeria had the capability to understand the technical know-how the country will not be spending $55 billion on professional services. Let just accept that Buhari and his crony are out to destroy Nigeria and Nigerians are prepared to suffer and smile. A review of Nigeria’s current account data from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), reveals that Nigeria and its corporates spent a sum of $55 billion on foreign expatriates for business, professional, and technical services in the last 10 years. 3 Likes |

I thought the Siemens deal was last year. I remembered Late Abba Kyari caught Covid from the trip across Europe around the time the deal was signed shortly before the lockdown. The subsequent lockdown for almost the rest of the year would also have affected commencement of the project. I think it's too early to call if the deal has failed. |

gwafaeziokwu: I'm surprised that 125 people liked your dumb comment. From tbe report it was clear why the project failed... Nigeria wanted over 40% local content protection ... Something that was going to protect me and you. And not that the returns from the power project will all be repatriated to Germany... Yet, it is the the FG you blame for not acceeding to a deal that does not favor Nigeria ...And 125 idii0ots like you liked your comment. Awon werey 2 Likes |

Dont be sold on that. He went to negotiate the deal in a way that will favor the North as they believed the work Fashola did is not according to their Northern agenda. They even found a way to smear him with bribery allegation so as to take the power ministry off him and handed it over to a career local government engineer who they just sacked after his gross incompetence can not be covered anymore. What did Abba Kyari understand in power and energy matters. Emu4life: 4 Likes 1 Share |

JesseJo: You were probably the only mugu that read the report on what happened to the deal when it was released by aso rock. If what went wrong with the Siemens power deal was public knowledge, did you ever think that Chimamanda will not be aware? Was the deal going to be done on behalf of Nigerians or not? If yes, when it failed, Nigerians who own the deal deserve answers. Chimamanda asked a question her government was unwilling to answer. The real idiot is you who think mere conjectures should replace government accountability to her subjects. 4 Likes |

IPIGSRDOTARDS: I wonder oo, you'd think people would be pleased govt wanted 40 percent local content when it's same type of people that always moan about why indigenous expertise is never considered when contract are awarded to foreign companies. It may be that at this stage the Nigeria demand for local content are unworkable because we are not yet ready but at least praise the sentiment. Party politics or the shear joy of cussing is everything and blinds Nigerians to the benefits of objective reasoning. 1 Like 1 Share |

Baselm:Good comment. Too early to say the deal failed. Lockdown may have impacted progress. Chancellor Merkel clearly did not have the facts and she promised to revert. My guess is that funding is a key issue here. If the German govt or any European agency is expected to fund, then they are right to demand a bigger share of the contracts, same as the Chinese are doing with the railways as key financiers. A little patience to unravel the delay. 1 Like |

Personal victory for Chimamanda Adichie, but very unfortunate for the black race. An intelligent black asking a white lady why electricity is lacking in Nigeria. It is more honorable to either build our own technology or copy others technology to give Nigeria electricity, as there is no evidence that God created German with electricity. As Werner von Siemens started Siemens AG so can smart Nigerians like Chimamanda Adichie can start another enduring technology company, that will not only solve Nigeria problems, but Africa. Those blessed with high intelligence should use it to help the society. Complaining can never get Nigeria and Africa a seat at world table. film3four: |

Merkel made salient points. The govt has refused to fund the project. You invite somebody and sign an infrastructure deal and refuse to provide money. You ask for 50% local content on a project which you have zero knowledge about. Do you think this is farming ? I'm still studying the characteristic of stupidity in the Oxford Dictionary of Modern English. Merkel asked her the location probably because the project had no base or project office provided by the country. 2 Likes |
