Topic: Ghana preparing to supply Nigeria electricity. (Read 314 times)

As i see this post i come dey reason all the talk them been dey tell us when we small for current affairs say na NAIJA dey give GHANA light, so e mean say all those times na brainwash or what because me no dey even understand this country on many things wey them never clear us.

It is funny to me that Ghana preparing to supply Nigeria electricity reverse has now been the case,  Nigeria who is known to be supplying Ghana. This is just because Nigeria is still dwelling on it past glory that has called failure her side.
Negligent as cause I don't care in the side of Nigeria by not improving the electricity facilities they had. Success is in the reward hard labour Nigeria has relaxed in searching for a way to upgrade and improve her electricity supply.
Ghana Ghana as long as it in mind that one day they will be of a good help to the neighbouring countries and they have been working restlessly to be of a good help the other neighbouring countries. Coming to hear of it that Ghana preparing to supply Nigeria electricity is not a one-day vision. It is a vision that they have been nursing for long, Nigeria should stand to her feet and get to work.
Ghana before was is a country that depend on Nigeria but it came to a time that Nigerians have to send the Ghanian back to their country because they feel that they are destroying the country the Ghanian went back to the country and develop their country now if we look at the currency of Ghana and Nigeria are not the same before Nigeria currency is greater than Ghana currency but now reverse is the case Ghana currency is now greater than Nigeria currency . The problem of Nigeria is bad leadership before Nigeria can be better those bad leaders must be remove.

Hmmmm, Na true you talk o. The corruption here in Nigeria too much. Well, based on your analysis, I see sense for wetin you talk because all these variables wey you mention get interconnection with each other. The marketers, importers, distributors down to power holding themselves dey all run business and e be say all of them dey for power sector. Na for their own selfish interest dem dey work for.

You say big money dey crude oil I agree as you talk but the money wey dey gas big pas crude oil and yet we never hear government talk anything about the gas wey dem dey sell but only crude. I believe say all these brouhaha wey we dey see so na just to distract the attention of Nigerians from that area make we no know wetin dey happen there. Abi Na lithium wey dem dey use produce battery? Nigeria get am excess but we never hear government come publicly come give account for any of them. Abi Na the gold wey dem dey mine for north wey we know wetin happen few years ago till today anybody don hear anything about that one.

Our leaders dem dey collabo with all these vendors dey run their parol. As e be say dem dey for power, dem dey use their influence dey pave way for the vendors so that their plans go work accordingly and na the business dem dey do for long. Why this thing go hard before e stop be say na wetin don dey in existence for long now and anybody wey want to come stop am go jam big resistance and them go fight and frustrate that person. That is why I dey always talk this thing say e go hard before a genuine person fit succeed to be the president of this country because the power that be would never allow anybody to spoil their business for them.

One thing wey make Nigeria power supp;y no fit stable na because of corruption from the President down to the power sector and businessmen. Shey una know say na crude oil, especially petrol na him these politicians, especially presidents and the minister of petroleum and every other body wey get access to Nigeria wealth dey from thief. What I mean that petroleum is what everyone eyes is into in which they are stealing from to enrich themselved quickly, because ever since Nigeria discover crude oil na e the abandon other natural resources because big money dey crude oil.
Back to my story, this na e make the government no go ever want make steady light dey so that more people go dey buy petrol for usage, so that them go fit dey get their own cjoping from selling larfe quantity of petrol. Oya make una see now, as Tinubu enter na fuel subsidy him commot first, so that that percentage wey the country fey use pay subsidy, he go fit put am for pocket, why Tinubu go come want make power supply steady for here.
 Also una know say some people dey in charge of exporting the crude oil to be refine for foreign country, those people too no go want make steady light sey the country because of the benefit wey them dey benefit from the business to export, refine and bring back to the country for usage. Lastly, na this businesspeople wey dey go import generator, them no go like make steady light dey because people no go nuy generator again and things go spoil for them. I believe say this filling station owners too dey follow for this bad work because I go remember when Nigeria go get strong match to play, when the time just reach for the match, before you know Nepa don take light. Do many things involve for why light no fit fey stable for this country. Na only God fit help us to get 24hrs light like Ghana because is like this people don plan to keep the country as black as their hearts. This na why them no won give us steady light so that them fo dey use buying of petrol dey extort us, because if steady light dey the rate at which petrol dey sell fo fall drastically.

Our leaders dem don already condition the system in the way that na only them the settings go dey favour continuously. Greed na the major reasons why dem set am like that. Only them want to chop alone to the point wey be say them don turn everything to family business for themselves alone. Another thing I come observe be say dem no want the youth to improve at all because if the youths them begin see light omo our leaders dem na on your own o, nobody go send them at all and dem no go fit use anybody for whatsoever reasons. Hence the system dey as e dey like this and e come be say the country no dey improve at all.

We just dey Para every day about our country, but waiting I wan make we understand now be say no matter how we dey talk the problem wey we dey face for Nigeria he no go finish, waiting we supposed do be say make we chill as, reason waiting go make our country good for us, as I hear this update now he dey sweet me because na help Ghana wan help us and he go good wey our country supposed get light, although I know say na Nigeria dey supply  Ghana with some things before but due to the progressive wey Ghana dey find dey cooperate and make their country better country, our leaders Don fuck from the beginning and as the matter dey like this he go take time wey Nigeria go come back to his normal ways.

No be say we no love our country oo, in fact I love Nigeria, but our habit no good and na waiting dey kill us be that one, we Niger get one thing, if we Don get we no wan dey give people wey never get and we know say God no be like us, he fit change everything about person wey no dey give and give to person wey deserve it, we get many resources wey dey bring money to the country but our leaders no dey let us feel like say we get them, all this thing's wey we dey face for Nigeria na greediness, I swear greediness no dey Allow person improve and even country wey greedy too much it will never improve.

The National house does not even care about that aspect of the national concern as it relates to the ordinary citizens of the nation. All they care is passing bills that can favour them when it comes to sharing  of money. They are not bothered because they get allowance for diesel or possibly fuel so they power their plants and generators to supply them constant power supply in their various houses.

Our nation really does not prioritize power supply because if they do, Nigeria would have long passed this stage of electricity outage and what we could be aiming for is industrialization and attracting industries to our country for the fact that we have resolved the issues  of power supply because that is what most mega industries look into before choosing a country to establish their high powered factories.

Looking at the statistics, you would definitely call this nation a joke. A nation known as the highest populous black nation which should be aware that the electricity demand would be very much high and should be in the move to increase her capacity and up till now its still the same. No improvement, not even an attempt made by the Ministry, no nothing. How do they want to encourage industrialization if they can not tackle demand for power supply.

From this analysis, I was ashamed that our country has misplaced priority, and is not as if they are not aware of all these defaults, am very sure they know but they don't care. just imagine Nigeria being the sixth and most populated country in the world and also in Africa and we are still obviously putting ourselves to shame just look at the amount of electricity produced just 8,607 GWh just imagine even places like China that have a larger population, still produces good services to their citizens, look at morocco producing 40,000 GWh our country has supposed to have increased the production of electricity, I can not really remember but this issue has been discussed before in the house of assembly and still nothing have been done since it was discussed.  

I am very much aware that Nigeria supplies Niger Republic electricity but that aspect of celebration is what I do not really know about but I know that of Ghana to have celebrated one week uninterrupted power supply. It is obvious that we supply to other countries and still yet we experience epileptic power supply.  We as a nation have not satisfied our own needs in terms of electricity  power supply and our the mega  stations are yet to be upgraded but the government claims to be releasing funds for that purpose and things are still the same way they are every year. No improvement, no growth, no development. All they  know is to give estimated bill, climb ladder and cut wire.

The two African countries you mentioned has been enjoying steady electricity supply for more than ten years now though Ghana may have steady supply of electricity but the chargers are too much when compared to other African countries and the saying that Nigeria has been supplying light to Benin Republic is still not clear to me because few years ago Benin Republic celebrated a good number of years of uninterrupted power supply while my country Nigeria has not experienced a 24hours of uninterrupted power supply for once. I think the information about Nigeria supplying light to Benin Republic is false because we can't be in total darkness while we are generating steady power supply to someone else that's total insane.

Big man na this one be the another major wahala wey we dey face for Nigeria. The matter of corruption Na wetin hold Nigeria to this stage. The idea of privatisation dey okay but Na still dem go buy the power holding company. Even when dem pass back go buy dem no go fit still manage am.

As for the areas wey dey receive light I wonder the segregation, wey make the light no dey go round. only a particular location dey receive light 24/7 pass others and some too Na based on their demand for turbine as an oil rich city wey make dem give dem.   why odas just remain for power outage like that nobody fit talk when month end dem cough out NEPA bill go pay over estimated bill wey dem no consume.

 Nigeria corruption Na don't tell anybody.

A friend of mine went to Ghana and narrated how electricity is constant there. I have a friend that went to Tanzania and he narrated constant electricity where he stayed for over two weeks. I have a friend that went to Benin Republic that Nigeria is supplying light, they have better electricity supply and the city is known for its neatness. Countries that are less developed than us are having good electricity.

Base on my personal research, I was made to understand that in 2021, over N152 billion naira was budgeted for electricity alone, and likewise in 2022 as another N120 billion naira was also allocated to electricity and same thing this year 2023, as another N239 billion naira was also budgeted for electricity . So when you add all these figures together, it clearly shows that capital has never been the problem of Nigerian poor electricity, but lack of proper management and misuse of public funds is the reason why we keep suffering for in total darkness. Hence, if our country Nigeria must achieve what Ghana just did, people placed in public offices just need to be held responsible when they fail to give account of public funds placed in their custody.

Na the problem be that boss. Light na 24/7 stable here for this side although na private company dey handle am. The only time wey you no go see light for my compound na only when our meter unit subscription finish or when rain dey fall and immediately after the rain dem go restore the light again. E better make I pay money and enjoy myself than waiting for government and suffer. I dey in support of privatization too because na the way forward be that. Distributors dey stingy with unit distribution so that the little unit go cover a long time for people under government subsidy and sell large unit for private sectors to make more money and steal from it.

The thing be say we like to dey complain about everything in this part of the country when we sef dey follow spoil the thing. I know government dey really fuck up but sometimes we need to calm down. Ghana wan supply Nigeria with electricity no be bad thing because we sef dey supply other countries with light and nobody dey complain about it. Calling Nigeria as giant of africa no be just name. Nigeria population don dey grow pass her resource and mismanagement follow join again to make it worse. Over load dey among wetin dey make our national grid collapse occasionally no be anything else. And the surprising thing be say even if national grid collapse, I still dey get light for this side.

Privatization go make us hear body but we really need am to avoid staying in darkness when we get enough dam.

I was impressed by the update about the Ghana sharing electricity to Nigeria. By all means we sure can afford it and I can't stress how it will help alleviate the plight of the current situation. With petrol and food stuff prices seeing a hike in recent days, with more electricity, ideas will be borne, industries will function to maximum and entrepreneurs will be on the rise.

Na light dey make people dey vex sometimes o, and everyone go fit agree say na true talk.

We have supplied Ghana and neighboring countries with electricity for sometime and it is no bad idea to be supplied now when we need it most.

As my brother talk for up so, na corruption be the cause of everything and for we to get things straight na for the government to just privatized everything for the power sector for the country. The partial privatization wey dem do no dey work, make dem private the full sector and watch how things go better. I hope you know say e get some part of the country wey no dey lack light, we get places wey dey use federal light and their light dey dey like 24/7. Wetin this one mean be say the power dey but na distribution be the problem and that's because the power sector go dey lose if dem distribute the power to everybody. Na only those wey dem dey guarantee say dem go play na people wey dem dey give power and this people dey normally dey for areas wey dey use federal light like dem GRA, and prepaid meter areas dem.


One thing you have to consider is the population of Ghana and Nigeria, we no be their mate when e come to people to take care of and Nigeria no get good people management. I know say other countries dey wey get population and dem dey manager them well but that's where the corruption comes in because everything dey corrupt. When you put strategies in place to tackle all this things people dey well go spoil am and just like community users that'll refuse to pay because of entitlement and will demand to be given the lights for free and other illegal tapping of the light. Our corruption no go gree us pay when others dey use am freely as we fit tap the light illegally that's why I say government need to commot hand completely for the thing to work for here. Nigeria no be Ghana, our people mentality this side different. We can achieve success like Ghana when it comes to generation and distribution of electricity but the government need to leave the sector to private companies although they'll be monitoring it and maybe subsidy need come in too by the government.

Using this data above that means Nigairia electricity production way below what the country consume in electricity,  a lot has to be done to improve the power sector and if Ghana as a neighbouring country can come in on that,  I think there is nothing wrong with that,  and as that will be part of their bilateral responsibility for Nigeria,  and also such of revenue to Ghana,  if Nigeria can supply them power for so lai ng I don't see why we should worry about Ghana becoming a supply of electricity to Nigeria,  if they have surplus electricity generation.

And from the data above it shows that Ghana's electricity sector is indeed doing great being the highest on the list and I would like to know if the article in the link also covers the electricity consumption of each member country.

Just like Ghana planning to key into electricity development as a result of their industrialisation to boost production and encourage the industries in their country to maintain their stand there and keep producing and paying their electricity tariff. This would have been the resolve of Nigeria but corruption would not allow our leaders see the positive aspects of it. Rather what they have in mind is a means of embezzlement even in a sector where the focus should be generation of electricity power supply so as to encourage people, industries etc to produce, businesses to thrive so that tariffs would be paid by consumers but the reverse is the case.

It is a shame that Nigeria is still at this stage of facing electricity power outage while this should have been a thing of the past.  Other nations are talking of technological innovation and advancement, showcasing what they can offer to the world, here Nigeria is still dragging feet behind with corruption and underdevelopment.

After reading this, I took a deep breath and i felt sober for my dear nation. How did we get to this point that it is very difficult to make amend of this so swiftly.  After i have read from this post, it is abundantly clear that Ghana  left Nigeria behind long ago. Now i can say that Nigeria long lost her stand and position of giant of Africa. It is a pity that little things that could have been sorted out by our government is now about taking a different dive prompting a nation we supply electricity to outshine us in that sector and even telling us that they would supply us electricity once they are done working on their power sector. This is a very shameful situation and our government would gladly and sheepishly accept it.

I  no go dey surprise tomorrow them bring up the proposals and our government quickly key in because them dey always look for means to embezzle funds.

A very good question, and i can say that the short answer to it is corruption. It is shocking that no administration has been able to handle the issue of epileptic power supply and provide constant electricity for Nigerians. Naija as a nation dey lack in all areas of electricity: generation, transmission, distribution/supply, e no really make sense and the government has to do more.

TBH, e dey very sad say in 2023 we still dey talk about constant electricity, when other nations dey advance technologically and in other aspects, a nation as rich and blessed as ours no suppose get epileptic power supply as one of its problems.
