Nuclear energy in the hands of this government? Southern kaduna will be mistakenly hit by nuclear weapon. Just a mistake o

Is it not in this country that a jet made a mistake and bombed civilians.

how many times has our refinery been hit by nuclear weapons?

dukeprince50:

We don't have it yet, that's why we hadn't have a mistaken hit.

MarrisManah:

Please how much is the price for 24/7 light...? We want to know.

You can't know because you are still under mummy and daddy.

Kaduna1stson:

we have refineries and they have never been hit by nuclear weapons, we also have dams that has been working for decades, stop having imaginary enemies

Dont be stupid ask people that living in ogudu estate in lagos.

Kaduna1stson:


Very true, Aso rock estate

dukeprince50:

Nigeria uses every opportunity to deal with imaginary enemies, if we have nuclear power southern Kaduna will be a target.

Because we produce power at 53 naira per kWh and want to sell it at.30 naira per kWh making a loss of 33 naira or more.

dukeprince50:

Is it that you don't understand the point or you're being mischievous deliberately?

How can they mistakenly bomb the refinery when we don't have nuclear power yet?

Kaduna1stson:

lol, I get ur point now, but I just don't want to argue on this again, do have an amazing week

What exactly is stopping Nigeria from having 24/7 electricity and making money form it as well as stabilising the economy?

Cc lalasticlala Mynd44 OAM4J let's hear people's thoughts

Because we sell power at a cost less than what we produce it, complicated by the fact that as much as 40-50% of people don't pay their bills, and even when there is meter, some bypass the meter....that means that the power sector does not have enough money to make the needed improvements

In fact the power sector is in a one trillion naira hole financially . All the discos and gencos are running at a loss.

Modified

Going through the thread I see that people are ready to blame everyone, Buhari and GEJ inclusive for the power problem.

The reason why we don't have light is because in Nigeria we think we can get a Ferrari for the price of a bicycle.

Yesterday I told someone the actual cost of power in this country as related by ex CBN bigwig Moghalu, and he accused me of lying.

We know power costs a lot of money, but accepting that truth, that in order to have stable power we need to pay as much as 60 naira per kWh is too painful

So we blame the Hausas, Buhari, the IMF, GEJ, the discos, the gencos, the executive list , etc etc.

Meanwhile most of us refuse to pay our bills, chase electricity workers with cutlasses , bypass meters, and cheat on our bills and we expect light 24/7

I think Nigerians tend to live in sugar candy land too much

dukeprince50:
deceive urself o.
we have $6b to invest in eko Atlantic that Nigerians can't afford, billions of naira to maintain refineries that's useless, billions of naira to give to politicians as allowance but no money for electricity

Private sector .....u think that money comes from government ? $6bn is total money needed to buy land and build there

Nairaland people and their reasoning self

FG could work with this same private sector to fund the electricity just like it was in eko Atlantic, but misplaced priorities deh worry us, $6b dollar is enough to give power to nigerians

dukeprince50:
mediocrity is our problem, we want to settle for hydro electricity and the rest which is not sufficient, we collectively kicked against the idea of nuclear energy when it was brought up by the federal govt

Do you like nuclear plant to be sited near your village?

dukeprince50:

Actually the cost is in the hundreds of billions

6 billion won't do much

Barbsamiin:

sure

Corruption, stealing, greed,wickedness,and underdevelopment

dukeprince50:
sure

Ok

allthingsgood:


True but that's a long term goal. As at today tho, can u pay for 24/7 electricity

Is one not going to be charged for what one consumed?

Are u ready to pay 100k for electricity ? .. if u have money would u invest $100bn to give Nigeria electricity ...and unstable Nigeria ...

Lol be like say u never run business before

Lol be like say u never run business before

lol, electricity is pay as u use, nobody will tell u to pay 100k for electricity just like that.
for an economy to be stable, power needs to play a major role. don't let ur emotions cloud ur judgement

Restaurant is pay as u eat ...we are owing for 5000mw we transmit and u want people to invest 46 trillion to give u 24hrs light what's the probability u would pay and not owe

Igbochief001:

That's the problem with Nigeria and electrical power

We keep hoping that someone will come and build the thing for us and pay the maintenance costs for us like magic

Igbochief001:

u don't compare electricity as restaurant, Electricity is like ur network providers, if u want to make calls, u have to recharge it, so is prepaid meter

Can Nigerians afford it?

allthingsgood:


Yea, those that can pay (VIPs) have light.

Definitely not 24/7 like overseas where even a church rat has light

Wiseandtrue:

Previously it's bad and evil leaders

Currently, it's Buhari!!!

There's just no excuse for failure (twice for that matter )

If only they can allow states to generate their own powers like some companies in Bonny Island did, also covenant University have their own light source.. States should be allowed to generate and sell their power

The same thing that made us not be able to refine our resources for our benefits rather the white man does everything for us. Finally, our northern brothers who are the custodians of islam more than saudi arabia who will rather develop their region but will want to leech on the resources in the Niger delta.

dukeprince50:
not just PMB but all our past leaders are useless, infact PMB administration brought up the idea of nuclear energy but we kicked against it cos we are scared it will be mismanaged and cause a disaster but we forget nuclear energy is the neatest and most environmental friendly

When did FG start listening to the people? Why are they not listening now? Or are our sufferings not LOUD enough?

Mistakemaker:

Then what do the fg stand to gain by keeping it in the exclusive list and suffering the people.. To me states should be allowed to generate power and supply their states, you will find out some states will have stable electricity

Legislation is what's keeping the FG from devolving powers to the state. Those massively benefitting from the status quo won't allow any change for that to happen. They are in the majority in the assembly. They will shoot such piece of legislation down before it even began.

Successive Assemblies continue to waste resources on constitution amendment, but they will never touch these Germaine areas.
