Do you blame them?
Ghana knows that Nigeria is not a serious country so they too want to catch-in where they could just like China catches in from all fronts: electrical, plumbing, mechanical, different rechargable lights, flash-light phones, motorcycles even cars recently etc.
India too catches in by introducing drugs and both Keke-Marwa and Napep.
Remember Nigerians industries now relocates to that country in search of regular power supply.
So by aiming to supply energy to Nigeria is in tune with realities.

well, am through wiht you since you now wanna show us why you are a ghanaian by portraying stvpidity. Your president is intellectually dead, no wonder your economy is finished, you people make comments without proper analysis like your presido. Bye bye

A country generating 2,100MW wants to export electricity to a country that needs 200,000MW, is that not hilarious?

Lilimax:
Damn hilarious. Ghana likes rubbing shoulders with Nigeria whereas in the real sense we're not mates

fooooooooooooooooooooooool undernourished underreducated unemployable magg0t. you are insulting Ghanaians because they offered to supply electricity to you modafakas? you are a foool, your mama and papa are fooools, your entire generation and sibling are mad people. talking crap after eating from the dustbin.

[b]you wrote all this nonsense because Ghana offered to supply electricity to your sh1thole? Jeez, has the MUMU inferiority complex reached this level? roforoforoforofo. Look there is nothing outlandish about what President Mahama said. I will explain, MUMUs! West African nations have what is called the West African Power Pool(WAPP). Under the WAPP arrangement, any West African country with excess power can in principle sell to other energy-deficient countries in the sub region.

And what will it take to supply electricity to nigeria? all Ghana needs is huge volumes of natural gas and installed generating capacity and bingo supplying electricity to other nations in West Africa will be accomplished. 70% of Ghanaians already have access to electricity and the govt is aiming to achieving total coverage by 2020. So in principle, Ghana can export its excess power to other west african countries under the WAPP arrangement.

I don't see that the noise about Ghana supplying electricity to nigeria is all about. Perhaps some you are not aware that only few years ago nigeria used to send crude oil to refineries in Ivory Coast to be refined and brought back to nigeria. I didn't hear any of you complain about that arrangement. I guess the noise is because it is Ghana,huh?such inferiority complex is laughable. bleached albinos

Ghana plans to have 5,000MW generating capacity by 2016 (Ghana needs about 3,000MW for domestic use and can export the remaining 2,000 MW)and there are major power projects going on all over the country at the moment. An American company called SEG is one of them. The company is planning to build 1000MW plants across Ghana by next year. There are others underway. Again, Ghana is also building gas regasification facilities across the country. What this means is that Ghana will no longer have to rely on natural gas from nigeria through the west africa gas pipeline. It means Ghana can import huge volumes of liquified natural gas from any part of the world to power its power generating facilities.

I am not a great fan of President Mahama but it is obvious he was being realistic when he made that declaration. Yes Ghana can generate thousands of extra megawatts of electricity and sell to countries like nigeria, where 120 million impoverished souls lack access to electricity. Most of the new power projects are privately funded and have nothing to do with the Ghanaian govt. Big businesses now know that power produced in Ghana can be exported to countries in the region under the WAPP deal and so there is a huge interest in investing in the power sector in Ghana at the moment. hahahahaha a bunch of ignoramus

If I were you, I would be more interested in who can help solve the problem that whipping up needless sentiments. such level of stvpidity in shitnigeria is absolutely laughable! a beggar with a choice. your politicians have been promising to give you people light since Lord Lugard's time. If Ghana can help solve the problem, what is the issue. after all no single country can supply all that it needs. why do countries trade with each other? some of you are very very fuelish, walahi!

Explicit01:
THE President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, recently revealed that his country has plans to begin exporting electricity to Nigeria and other West African countries. Speaking at the Global Business and Economic Forum in Dubai on October 1, 2014, he said: “We have given priority to electricity generation in our country. We have prioritised energy in such a way that we want to become the hub for power production in West Africa. We want to generate electricity to the point that excess power can be exported to Nigeria, Ivory Coast and other countries that have power deficit.”
This position coming from the President of a country should ordinarily attract commendation as it purports to present the country’s leadership as one that is thinking and forward-looking and which strives to explore all opportunities for the development of the society. Upon further reflection, however, it is difficult to see where this kind of statement is coming from and the logic on which it rests.
As President Mahama stated, the issue of export comes only within a context of excess, such that Ghana would only be in a position to export electricity when it has satisfied its internal demand. Yet, latest World Bank record indicates that over 30 per cent of Ghanaians currently lack access to electricity. This means that the Ghanaian government is yet to provide electricity for all its citizens even while it is planning to export electricity to other countries. And we cannot but wonder what kind of leadership would prefer to satisfy citizens of other countries at the expense of its own people!
Furthermore, Ghana currently generates only 2,125 MW of electricity for its over 26 million population. When it is realised that South Africa generates over 45,000 MW for its 52 million population and still requires another 50, 000 MW by 2025 for the effective running of its economy, it should be clear that Ghana has not even started generating anything near enough electricity for its population.
Ghana obviously is yet to modernise the running of its economy such that it would run essentially on electricity. It has a rural and yet undeveloped economy that requires massive injection of electricity to assist in its industrialisation. And rather than the President Mahama leadership working at this, it would prefer to export electricity while Ghana and its economy remain at the current undeveloped level. This makes the offer to export electricity to Nigeria and other West African countries by Ghana not only laughable but tragic, as it reflects the warped sense of development that African leaders have. Perhaps the leadership in Ghana would have more to gain in exporting electricity to other countries since this would bring immediate revenue.
However, it is a reflection of how badly Nigeria has descended into the pit of underdevelopment such that countries that have not attended to their own problems would be offering to help it solve its problems. Ghana would not be offering export of electricity to Nigeria if better placed in terms of electricity access than Nigeria. In spite of the resources available in Nigeria, it is regrettable that more than 60 per cent of Nigerians lack access to electricity and the country is yet to sustain a generation capacity of 5,000 MW of electricity. President Mahama was talking about exporting electricity to countries with deficit and which country has the highest deficit outside of Nigeria?

With successive Nigerian leadership unable to deliver worthwhile electricity to the population, it should not be a surprise for the country to become the butt of electricity jokes and candidate for irresponsible treatment by everybody. This is an evidence of how badly Nigeria has been run by its leaders and it should be to the shame of successive Nigerian leadership that it would be reduced to the level of being mentioned in such laughable offer by Ghana. www.tribune.com.ng/quicklinkss/editorial/item/18539-ghana-s-laughable-offer

When you hear that ghana is investing in the power sector, you will think they generate lot of thousands of megawatts, not knowing that they are yet to hit 5000MW by 2016.

JiggamanGh:


You outnumber Ghana 9-1 yet you only produce 6000.

KriTic24A:

Ghana knows that Nigeria is not a serious country so they too want to catch-in where they could just like China catches in from all fronts: electrical, plumbing, mechanical, different rechargable lights, flash-light phones, motorcycles even cars recently etc.

JiggamanGh:


You outnumber Ghana 9-1 yet you only produce 6000, but available capacity is about 4500. Shameful country

Explicit01:
the more reason why president mahama goofed, nigeria is looking beyond 5000megawatts. That's why I respect southafrica, you hardly see them referring to nigeria but ghana cannot do anything without making nigeria a standard. I think your country will do better the earlier you start thinking beyond nigeria.

Explicit01:
I see you are naïve when it comes to power sector, tell me why nigeria will want to import electricity from ghana when lagos alone needs close to 10000MW. Do ghanaians think at all?

JiggamanGh:


I see you are not only as incompetent as the monkeys you have governing but you are as stupid.

So because you need 10000 so if someone offers you 1000, you will turn it down. The nigerian mind is a good thing to waste.

Explicit01:
For 3000MW to be able to serve ghana effectively shows how un-industrialized and undeveloped ghana is. I mean 3000MW should be too small for any modern country with great industrial boost.
