Which 4th in Africa was in Cameroun for 2 weeks, there their electricity did not go off even for 1 mins. This article is trying to paint Jonathan well. |

bigfrancis21: Chairman...have you looked at the visualization of the gas flaring? http://skytruth.org/viirs/ You might want to take a second look at the pic we're talking about...the area I'm referring to as gas flares doesn't extend up to lagos...over lagos you'll see a tiny dot that doesn't have the reddish(or is it orange) tinge that tells you that what you're seeing is intense heat and light as a result of that heat. P.S. those lights are not as bright as the flame if you are considering the amount of energy. If you have the time you could try reading up on the difference between a lumen, lux and candela. It's all physics. |

omonnakoda: Sheer common sense should tell you that a 10mw facility cannot be mentioned when we're talking of a nation's first power plants. 10 mw can hardly power more than a few streets. Those things were just generator yards. Please don't mention them outside when someone asks you about the first power stations in Nigeria. |

Feraz: Guy...If you have a commodity to sell, wouldn't you rather sell to the higher bidder? gas prices for power plants were just increased to $2.50 from $1.50 and before that it was 90 cents or something equally atrocious. Now as an IPP, knowing that you're going to be paid $1.50 per Mscf(that's how gas is measured in the energy sector in naija), and the money wouldn't even be paid in time, would you bother investing in equipment to utilize the gas? It's always been cheaper to pay the fines associated with flaring gas rather than harnessing the gas for other uses. Govt is trying to change that hence the increase in gas prices. P.S. remember I told you gas prices increased to $2.50 per Mscf? try finding out what international prices were for natural gas before the crude drop. As per the second think I typed...I can tell you're an engineer from the way you write but you made some mistakes that show you dont have that good a grasp of the power sector. 1 Like |

Feraz:For one we lack the knowledge. If the question is why well I have my own theory: I think the fundamental problem is we have STILL not decided to live together as one country and that manifests as institutionalized indecisiveness. Maybe deep down we know we shall have to break up and that is why we make crazy decisions like building Abuja e.g. Also we are too superstitious ( we call it religion) and so do not plan our development on the basis of a strategic acquisition of Knowledge. I say without fear of contradiction that there is no Nigerian body charged with the acquisition of knowledge in a strategic way. We are not even capable of getting fish out of out 1000 km coast not to talk of the coast os our neighbours but there are Chinese fishermen off the coast of West Africa. So you see our thinking is focused on individual enjoyment and fear of enemies and not on anything in the National Interest because we do not believe in the Nation 2 Likes 1 Share |

gnykelly:This govt has taken the right steps, the problem is that Power in Nigeria is a political tool and so they cannot take "business decisions" or allow the companies that bought the assets run them in the way capitalists would. To fix the power sector what we need is a mix of economics, finance and engineering, it's not an easy task. Govt has it's work cut out. there's a document called the roadmap for power available online at www.nigeriapowerreform.org you could read it if you're interested in the details. 1 Like 1 Share |

netotse:I do not believe there is any country where it is not political. The key thing though is to have local development of technologies and skills so the sector is not vulnerable to international politics e.g sanctions and to have secure and reliable energy sources e.g gas. Part of te problem is Nigerians are not entrepreneurial on this kind of scale and so the only player so far has been government. There are no Nigerian businessmen investing n key sectors of our economy which is the fundamental difference with advanced economies. They are not all as capitalist as they posture. They are political business serving a national interest agenda and this has always been the case since the time of the Royal Niger Company(UAC). We have seen this demonstrated against Cuba and more recently Iran and Cuba. China is strong because China has acquired engineering competence. We must do the same. e do not make weapons and cannot defeat Boko Haram but there is no one thinking how do we solve this problem in 20 years time. How do we gain these competencies instead we pray and listen to Adeboye's prophecies 1 Like |

Feraz: All the best in your career...you need to constantly expand your knowledge base, the most valuable people in the power sector aren't the ones that can couple a transformer with their eyes closed, it's the guys that have the clearest understanding of the value chain. If power is your thing, you can try reading the roadmap(I pasted a link to the site some replies back). There are two versions, I'd recommend you read both. Measure twice then cut once. |
