meccuno:This is wrong. The reason why power was sent to the national grid was because of cost. It's cheaper to generate power via water (hydro stations) than gas because the input for hydro stations which is water cost nothing. So using a central grid meant a person in kano paid the same as a person in Enugu. Now the law has been amended (since 2014) and anyone is free to generate power and distribute as they like. Transmission is different from Distribution and the FG only controls Transmission. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I888:Very poor comprehension,you must be studying for your GCE?Nigeria as a nation cannot build a dam in southern Nigeria,not to talk of only the south States of Nigeria that cannot build an ordinary oil refinery? Remove the income from mineral oil from the Niger Delta states which belongs to the Federal Government (All of The Good People of Nigeria) and revenue from Lagos State,what other income do you have from those beggar states down south? |
Re: Why Do We Send Generated Power To National Grid And Receive A Fraction? by AZeD1(m): 5:05pm On Mar 19, 2019 |
meccuno:There are three segments of power: Generation, Transmission and Distribution. Generation and Distribution have been privatized why Transmission is in the hands of the FG. Its is possible to by pass transmission within a locality (say a state) so if you generate power in Akwa Ibom and want to sell in Akwa Ibom, you don't need transmission, you just need to talk directly to the distribution company in charge of Akwa Ibom and sell the generated power to them directly. But if your customer is in Lagos or Benin, then you need to talk to Transmission so they can get the power to Benin/Lagos for you. 3 Likes 1 Share |

I888:Exploration is part of the oil business,Mr Ignorant,The North of Nigeria already has enough oil and gas in the South South of its Nation,all mineral and mineral oil found anywhere in Nigeria belongs to the Fed (The Good People of Nigeria) go and read the constitution of 1979 & 1999 (As Amended), and The Land Use Act 1978,abi na your ancestors plant the oil and gas for ground?Thief. |

IamaNigerianGuy:Comprehension I see is one of your major problems,Not only the North of Nigeria but The Federal Government (All of The Good People of Nigeria) own all mineral and mineral oil found anywhere in Nigeria by virtue of The Mineral Oil Act 1978,The Land Use Act 1978 and the Constitution of The Federal Republic of Nigeria 1979 as amended in 1999. General Obasanjo a southerner is still alive in Otta,you can go and inquire from him,how he,yaradua,and the Supreme military council came up with the formula that the so called politicians democratic rats have not been able to change for 40 years,even after uninterrupted democracy (demonstration of craze) for 20 straight years. |

rexwalters: Lol this guy sef. If I follow u d way ur body dey shake like jelly fish, na ban I go chop. If not for the fraudulent aim and objectives, why would the federal government own the lands and it's oil? In the US, that is not so. Which oil north get ? Keep deceiving yourself. Oil that is not in commercial quantity. Make God answer una prayers so that una go divide the country make every person go their way cos everyone knows the only thing u guys are waiting for is to discover oil. If it means sucking up all the oil in the south to make that happen, may your wishes be done. The south where I come from are resourceful enough to survive without oil... It is very evident in the way we have always done things in comparison to you guys. |

meccuno:That's what I have been telling the "Nigeria held us back" crew. If you get visionary and sincere leaders, no system can hold them back, they would find a way around all obstacles. For example, to beat the states must "feed the national grid" law, don't pass through the national grid, don't use the transmission lines. Just create clusters - industrial, commercial or social clusters and the generate power locally to those clusters. Some private companies are doing it. To beat the 13% derivation law, create oil companies and bid and obtain oil licences in your state. If the state own or partnered companies drill it's own oil, it will receive 40% share of crude sales along with 13% derivation. As I also say, it is only a bad workmen that quarrels with his tools, good workmen perform wonders with bad tools. 3 Likes |

I888:That is it sir, even flood is playing hide & seek game with them upnorth due to dam overflow. Asejire dam almost cleared half of Ibadan if not for timely intervention. We're not yet mature for anything sophisticated like dam, education, governance etc. in this country due to bad leadership and poor maintenance and our non challant attitude towards everything. 1 Like |

wirinet: You do not realize the depth of the problem : the FG is like a dog in a manger, it won't eat hay and won't permit horses to. Many states have tried to take control of their resources but have been blocked by the FG. Edo state bid for electricity distribution in 2014 and was rebuffed. Akwa ibom, Rivers and other states have bid for oil licences without result. Cross river built Tinapa and it's full utilization was blocked by Abuja. The south south states want their ports developed but the FG connives with Lagos to maintain a monopoly in apapa. The list goes on. 4 Likes |

IamaNigerianGuy: How come Lagos States is currently generating about 59Mw of electricity for its domestic use through the IPP scheme.
An Independent Power Project need not pass through the national grid. On Akwa Ibom and Rivers States bidding for oil license, I Cound not find any information on it online, please give us links to confirm that they bid for oil licences and why it was refused. On Tinapa, I feel that it was an ill conceived and executed project, better put a white elephant project. A free trade zone where there is no trade and a tourist resort for foreigners at a time the Niger Delta is unsafe to foreigners. 3 Likes |

meccuno: To register an oil company is not that difficult. All you need to do is to go to CAC and register a company and then operate like a regular business. A better option is to register and investment company and then partner with foreign companies with expertise in the oil industry or any other interested industries to operate and run the business. Lagos States has Ibile Holdings - http://ibileholdings.com/about-us/ . Awolowo did wonders with Odua Investments, they dominated the cocoa industry. Odua Investments at a time was one of the biggest conglomerates in West Africa. There are no Laws against incorporating a company and partnering with foreign companies to do business in Nigeria. At the start of this democracy in 1999, many state governments partnered with Econet Wireless to bring GSM to Nigeria and their states, like Lagos and Delta, but greed took over the governors and they sold the shares and pocketed the money. |
