All you Ipods that flooded n trying to derail n condemn Fashola here
Since Jonathan your defeated messiah and Obasanjo and yaradua cannot fix power problem in in 16years it is fashola that will now fix it for you in 6momths after you guys have bastardize the sector,destroyed the fabric of Nigeria power Energy.


What am i saying sef- I remember professor Bat Nnaji is a professor in engineering and many engineers that have worked as power minister for 16 years what have they done?have dey generated any megawatt?

You people should cover your faces in shame.

You dont need engineers to be minister,you need decision makers people who knows how to make deal and politics of Electricity and contract signing n pressure management.

Its not about round square peg round hole thing.


Its an old adage thats not working with reality -i mean the square peg of a thing..

Don't be quick to forget that he made a statement about power being fixed in 6months if the government is serious... As fate will have it, he rose to the most appropriate position to make an impact, and this is almost 2years, yet nothing!!!

Fashola a.k.a Mr. Rocket Science is really trying to justify his incompetency & ineptitude..



A Serious Government Will Fix Its Power Problems In 6months - Fashola

he actually did until NDA showed up

Like I said you sound clever by half,if u want to find out how many megawatts Jonathan added to the nat grid,make google your buddy,let's do the calculation,if GEJ celebrated 4kMW at the end of his tenure,how come the present admin was able to achieve 5kMW without having added 1 kilowatt to the national grid,oh I forgot Buhari body language successfully added 1kMW,clap for yourself.

The Buhari regime added to the grid, that's why it was noteworthy.

Or is it the spirits of Aso Rock that added the increase in generation?

If anyone asks me
What did Fashola say about Power

I'll tell them that he said
All Power belongs to God

Are u freaking kidding me,where and when did this happen that u are the only one in Nigeria that is privy to this information, who did the flag off,who commissioned it,or u think power plants are constructed in a day and a half,the switch station inaugurated by the minister of darkness was built by GEJ,If the minister of darkness hasn't come out himself to tell us how many megawatts he has added I wonder where in the world you are getting all this info from,perhaps u are the legendary minister of information.

The information was all over the news when it was attained this year.

The government does its work and reveals same to the people, they lament that it's media government, now you're lamenting that no public parade was held despite being in the news then.

Or did GEJ remain as president till this year? Has Buhari not spent 1.5yrs in power?

So you even know that power plants are not built overnight, yet you lament endlessly over lack of electricity as if the previous regime planned for you to enjoy stable electricity.

You know the 2015 budget was already passed by GEJ, did Fashola decline to implement what was left of it when he resumed in September?

I repeat, if you do not have electricity, that is what the GEJ regime consider you to be entitled to. Buhari has only ran his 1st budget in an economic recession and you want eldorado?

Stop wailing if you already know the task is uphill. Buhari did not cause your problems but he will solve it to the shame of those charlatans you hold in high esteem.

BeeBeeOoh:



I guess his brain was filled with vanilla ice cream when he made this statement?? @ link below..

... I guess opposition was so sweet for him then than now that opposition members are been gagged. Fashola is a hypocrite if he can't guarantee Nigeria power supply 2/47.

I don't accept that.
You have not given REASONS WHY it is the so called RIGHT STEP
Geography and terrain would determine whether it is reasonable. I have not checked but I doubt very much that a country as large as the USA and such like would have a connected grid. Power is lost as it travels so a connected grid over a large area would only waste power.

Other factors like terrain,climate and security would all conspire to make that unrealistic.

If you believe it is the RIGHT STEP please tell us WHY

One good reason why it is a superior choice to 4 or 6 separate grids

That's the problem. "You doubt" it. Pls stop quessing. Power loss is greatly minimized by transformers already so stop guessing on a topic you do not understand. What you should press for is prioritizing of areas that supply more power into the grid when power is being distributed? As for you grid question, reliability and robustness it is.

It doesn't have connected grid. The US power grid is actually 3 power grid. Texas having its own grid. There's the east grid and west grid.

If this same thing was said about a god of a particular religion, by now there will be riots and heads for don dey fall off human body.

Abeg Oga Fashola, respect our traditionalists.

you are correct, he should have used their "God"as an example and let see the reactions of those religions followers afterrall no prayers or fasting can produce or generates electricity.

Were u in Mars when the minister of darkness broke history attaining zero megawatts the first time in the history of Nigeria,the 2 power project commissioned so far by this admin were inaugurated by GEJ which is 1.2MW solar station and the 330kv in Zamfara,if u have contrary fact feel free to bring them on.

My question remains which power project has Buhari inaugurated despite having the highest budget in the history on Nigeria in this 2016,yet all we hear of are media promises of I will do this and that.

Pls stop this recession excuses,the 2016 budget is the highest in the history of Nigeria,How about the money from subsidy removal,recovers looted funds,65 naira VATon bank withdrawals,most especially the money from the hike in electricity tariif.

Well Buhari promised eldorado thats why u gullibles voted for him so let him fulfill his promises,except he comes out to apologize to Nigeria he was high on tuwo when he promised,1$ =1naira,price of PMS 50 naira and also the minister of darkness redemption promise of six months then they remain nothing more than scam artist.

StOla:


Yet with your professorial doctors heading the ministry of health, we have about the worst medical infrastructure in West Africa.

America without doctors as Secretary of Health, is where we run to.

I like the Nigerian common sense.

Not jumping in but in case you didn't notice, there is a system in place and one that works for them (The US). Thus, management, becomes a piece of cake. A simplistic way of looking at it but you get the whole idea.

I voted for buhari primarily on the promise to fight corruption. My disappointment with him is that he is too soft and slow about it, even when others think him to be tyrannical about it. By now our prisons should have been overflowing with convicts while government should be planning on building bigger prisons as there is no limit to the wonderful ability of Nigerians to abuse the financial trust their position in government conveys, either as political office holders or a civil servant in a government ministry or agency.

Whether power falls to 0MW or 250MW, it does not erase the installed capacity of the country. If the resources used to generate power becomes unobtainable, generation would fall but does it erase the fact that we now have over 5000MW installed capacity in this regime?
So a 1day shutdown to 0MW is nothing awkward, even a total power sector strike results to the same 0MW, but does not erase the installed capacity.

Even the 4000MW version 2.0 attained by Jonathan in November 2014, by February 2015 it was announced that over 2800MW was lost and only 1100+MW was available. Whether that administration returned to generating full installed capacity of 4000MW by May 2015, is unknown.

So anything can affect the generation below installed capacity, any vandal can sabotage the supply of the necessary resources, even reduced rainfall can result to a drop. but no generation can exceed installed capacity. This government would show us its report card at the end of 4yrs, then we would know who was a failure.

You keep on mentioning inauguration by last regime, did jonathan not complete any project inaugurated by previous regimes, yet you give him the credit?
A certain project inaugurated bt the OBJ regime was recently commissioned in the Buhari regime but apologists of the GEJ wasted administration were giving credit to GEJ saying Buhari couldn't have done it in 1yr, meanwhile it was even OBJ that kickstarted it.

The trend seems to be, what is Buhari doing, his ministers are lazy, he should have done this or done that, bla bla bla. But when the Buhari regime commissions any project, we hear the same people say it couldn't have been inaugurated by the short time Buhari regime.

So if we are this knowledgeable about the timeline required to bring about development, why are we pretending to be daft and requesting for a Japanese development in 1+ years.

How do transformers minimize the power loss occasioned by transmitting power over long distances. The power is lost as heat energy as the temperature of the cables are raised over several kilometres

Where do you get that rubbish from?

You appear unable to comprehend what you are googling so I will pity you and enlighten you a bit.
Let me start with the transformer question. It boils down to eddy-current loss. It is a loss that proportional to current flowing through a conductor(transmission line). The work of transformer is to help increase or decrease voltage and in exchange for decrease or increase in current accordingly (i.e transform the power).
Power = Voltage X Current. There are stepdown transformers and stepup transformer to increase and decrease voltage respectively.
With all due respect sir, you are the one saying rubbish.

Since you have decided to remain stupid and embrace ignorance arrogantly, I have to enlighten your vile spewing mind further.

USA uses one single power grid. Google it up yourself.
If you understand power systems up to 10%, you will know why every nation seeks to make his or her power grid as big as possible and thus remain interconnected.
From a generating company's perspective, a large power grid gives room for wider reach to customers. From distribution perspective, it reduces redundancy. And finally from a consumer or customer perspective, it improves competition between power gencos, and improves reliability greatly. Your level of ignorance indicates you are a customer. The arrogance level suggest you could be one of the Nnaji sympathizers.

omonnakoda, please don't run away oooohhh

No the USA does not use one single power grid so please do not come back with any whingeing about how the examples are "exceptions" because from the get go I made it very clear why this could not be possible. i.e Geography and terrain.


Let us start with Alaska. Is Alaska connected to your so called "ONE SINGLE POWER GRID"


YES OR NO Please


What about Hawaii


Yes or No please



Can I hear a Yes or No for Texas please

If you know jack about power system and have been observing for some years now, you will realize that consumers who have green source (solar and wind) are allowed to sell their excess power back into the grid. What this means is that if you succed in selling back some power into the power grid it reads your meter value backward/down or store the total power sold for those who don't depend on power inflow from the national grid any longer.

Please tell us what is the Western Interconnection


Please tell us what is the Eastern Interconnection

Irrelevant

There are at least 3 Power Grids on Mainland USA and satellite or offshore territories like Alaska ,Hawaii etc have their own arrangements
