Here is a simple MATHS i did with my calculator that paints the real picture of your so-called GIANT OF AFRICA. E be like say una wan start to dey use candle again Abi South Africa - 238.3bKWh (Population: 52.93 million in 2013) Average Power Supply Share per head - 4502.172KWh Egypt - 123.9bKWh (Population: 82.06 million in 2013) Average Power Supply Share per head - 1509.870KWh Algeria - 40.11bKWh (Population: 39.21 million in 2013) Average Power Supply Share per head - 1022.953KWh Nigeria - 20.13bKWh (Population: 173.6 million in 2013) Average Power Supply Share per head - 115.956KWh Does this look like 4TH POSITION TO YOU? ***SMH*** 2 Likes |

ROSSIKE: it is definitely not electricity, the grid is not that developed in that part of Naija and that's a heat signature you're looking at not electricity check this link for a visualization of flaring globally http://skytruth.org/viirs/ |

ROSSIKE: Yea. In addition, notice that the entire region between Nigeria/Niger-Sierra leone and Egypt/Algeria (up North Africa) is considerably in darkness, which corresponds to that region being the Sahel/Sahara desert where human occupation, and subsequently the need for electricty, is scarce and less dense than other areas. |

netotse: Gas flaring isn't carried out all over the south! The entire southern Nigeria (east, west, south south) is brightly illuminated. Gas flaring is done in less than 1% each of the whole of River state, Delta state, Imo state, Akwa Ibom state etc. If you were to represent only the lights from gas flaring poles on a map, they would appear as tiny little bright dots spread out over an entirely dark mass of area. The illumination you see comes mostly from the presence of pervasive buildings which have light, street lights etc due to people living heavily in those areas. When you have several lit buildings and houses clumped up together, then the image you get above will look like what you see in the image because their lights are closer to each other, they merge and form the massy area of light you see in the image. The more developed a city is, with as many high-rise buildings as possible, the more brightly illuminated it appears from above. Take a look at the map of US below, for example, which corresponds to the population density pattern of the US. The more densely populated areas (the more need for electricity and development and buildings that have to be illuminated too), the more illuminated they appear on the image.

donmalcolm21:so its privatisation that will make electricity to be stable right? Wher in the world r u livin? The stability of electricity depends on the adequacy of the generation capacity, the demand in nigeria is about 20,000 megawatts and nigeria is generation 4,000megawatts. The only solution to that is building more power stations which only the governments has the financial muscle to do it. Southafrica of 45, million people is generating 46,000 megawatts of electricity and their government just awarded another 5,000megawats hydro projects to add to that 46,000 making it a whooping 51,000megawatts. Nigeria of 170,million people is only generating 4,000megawats and claim to be the largest economy. Clueless otueke Jonathan used 6years to sell the power to his family and friends instead of constructing more power stations to boost the availability. 4 Likes |

omonnakoda: This is what you yorubas do I don't like when it comes to OBJ's corruption practices you ppl will shout PDP just to include GEJ and hide OBJ... OBJ single handedly kill the power sector and embezzled over $20 billion. for federal xter, states are not allow to generate and distribute locally before sending to the national grid ....power transmission is more costly and difficult to manage than generating, so many states like lagos, rivers, akwa ibom anambra abia can't generate much cos no resources to send all out. like rivers state only one gas turbine is working while others lie fallow. 3 Likes |

GenBuhari: SMH!!! Although i tend to be pro Buhari but if GenBuhari doesn't know the difference between electrical power and Energy, i may reconsider my support. so if you are invited to debate Uncle GEJ, this is how you will embarrass yourself before the camera and me before my friends? The figure that was quoted in the table is the total power generated in a year expressed as energy for one year. for instance, if we accept that naija generates 3000MW of power, it means that in a year, naija generates 3000*365*24=26280000MWh=26.3billionkWh of energy per annum which is not very wrong from what was quoted. 2 Likes |

gnykelly:your definition of installed capacity is not correct. Installed capacity depends on the name plate of the units (that's what the prime mover-generator combo is called in the power sector). If you have 10 units of IMW installed, installed capacity is 10MW, if only 3 are working, installed capacity doesn't change, however, available capacity is only 3MW. Installed capacity is 10,396MW and available capacity is 6056MW according to NIPP |

Demdem:my brother youre really on point, he was busy using the 6years to sell it to its family and friends and all those theif PDP members. The power station obasanjo initiated like, geregu, afam, alaoji, papalanto e.t.c because of timeframe, obasanjo was not able to complete them before his tenure expired. All this power station when completed will shoot the generation to 10,000 megawatts and here we are, 8years after the man left power we are still at 4,000 megawatts that the man left it. Clueless otueke Jonathiefff, after 6years could not complete those ones and didnt even initiate any power projects at all. Nigerias demand as at today is 20,000 megawatts. Jonathan is the worst president nigeria has ever had. 1 Like |

"schooled" how exactly with the "knowledge" That there was no electricity company or power plant before Kainji . Please stop disgracing yourself.
