NIGERIA AND THE POWER SYSTEM!!!

WELL THIS IS NIGERIA!!! THE PLACE WHERE NOBODY TAKE HOLD OF YOU NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO!!!. EHHH...UHH...USH. What are we turning power to in this nation? Ghana were currently celebrating three years of non power failure. South Africa and Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco were not left out in the race, just as the UK is celebrating nothing less than 50 years of theirs. the USA just celebrates their 151st year just as the german celebrates about 53 years of non power failure. Uu..nn NIGERIA has not yet celebrate its 3 days of full non power failure since independents. what an interesting nation to be!!! ehh..ehh, uh...yeh, Un...h the last administration claims that in the last eight years she had spent nothing less than 16.3 billion dollars on electricity, yet, there is no more improvement. in fact things were getting a bit complex daily.

IN 2007 the Nigerian Electrical power authority (NEPA) was privatised for effective delivery of power and was changed to Power Holding Company of Nigeria(PHCN). indeed! they were power holding, because they were just holding power the way it pleases them and they are indirectly telling the masses that they are now 'Please Hold Candle of Nigeria'(PHCN).

one furning thing is that Nigeria happen to be the supplier of electricity to country like Togo and Niger, yet, we do not satisfy the needs of our own people. one of my fathers in the lord narrated his ordeal when he came back to Nigeria from Togo, he said throughout the three days he spent in that country, there was nothing like power failure. Unnn... what a nation. a nation that is using his people's dividends to satisfy the outsider. why should we keeps on feeding other people when our own people is hungry.

however, one funniest thing is that even their own children do not know their accounts and banks abroad such that when they died it is those country that later chop their money in the name of dissolution of account. once they got into power, what they only know how to do is to keep looping money to where it would later be dissolved.

how they spend the 16.3 billion dollars, only God knows. well, i still believe something that Nigeria is a Nation of so many mysteries, yet, or well, let's say God still reigns in the affairs of all men.

well, this seems a good time for business for those Nigerian that were involved in generator set selling. since all these started nothing less than 65 Nigerians have been reported dead by these generators due to the emission of carbon(ii)oxide. what shall we do to all these things?

industries were not effective in their operation as before, in fact more industries were leaving the country. well, i think there is always a way out. if we could shift our attention a bit to radioactivity, i think the uranium that was founded in 2006 in six states of the federation could fetch Nigeria nothing less than 10 Giga Watts of electricity generation. we should also turn to the solar means instead of depending only on the hydro alone.

WELL each states should be given responsibilities to find a means of generating electricity by itself to meet the demands of his own people.

there were solutions to all these problems, but own rich men are not ready to spend to affect their community. Nigerian as a government should hereby listen to this opinion of mine.

the federal government should device a means of competition academically in all different field of our educational system.

let there be electrical education competition both theoretically and practically. not just on electrical, let us have those like:
NATIONAL COMPETITION FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERING STUDENT
NATIONAL COMPETITION FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING STUDENT
NATIONAL COMPETITION FOR PHARMACY STUDENT
NATIONAL COMPETITION FOR MEDICINE STUDENT
NATIONAL COMPETTION FOR CHEMISTRY STUDENT
NATIONAL COMPETITTION FOR MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS STUDENTS
NATIONAL COMPETITION FOR COMPUTER SCIENTIST and all of such.

how will this work? or you may ask? what rubbish is this? what do these have to do with power generation? yes, it is has something doing.

50 years ago, japan was facing similar problems as Nigeria. just like Brazil. do you know what they do, they carry out the above means and those who emerge the best were sent abroad to learn more in their various fields. when they came back to their nation, each project they embarked upon was sponsored by their federal government. today, Japan is among the G-8 countries. Brazil remains the only country to date to use gasohol as a means of fuel for their cars. this they were able to achieve because their government back them all up.

so if Nigeria want to realise vision 2020, let's carry out the above procedures as the first step to developing this nation to the world standard. let's sponsore the best students abroad to go and learn more about their various fields. let's say per each field, 20 people were given scholarship abroad to learn something new, i mean 20 people per each field to 20 different countries in the world, i'm hundred percent sure, that when those 20 people come back and put their knowledge together, presenting their projects to the government, if the government oblige and sponsor their project, in the next 10 years, NIGERIA WILL BE EXTRA ORDINARILY GREAT.

this is the first opinion. the second opinion is that their should be project exhibition competition. while i went for JETS in 2005, in the governor's cup, a guy from one school came to present a project through which the guy generated diesel from ordinary cashew nut. and you know once we get diesel, we could easily generate petrol from diesel through chemical means. where is the project of that guy today, we are too busy to notice such, nobody even come up to sponsor such a guy to where he would be exposed to maximising his potential and i'm sure if that guy's project was sponsored then, Nigerian won't need to be depending only on the trouble filled NIGER DELTA for fuel again. all we would have just be doing now is to encourage planting of more cashew trees in the nation.

Now, does this make sense to you? well, there were lots and lots of talents in this nation, too busy to be noticed, and too neglected to be sponsored.

USA today does not descend from heaven, but it was built through the contribution of people like you and me. this was because, their government, even though too busy, yet, they set up a panel looking towards all these. where is our own panel in Nigeria to monitor those little little things? well, i think there is always panels for probing, probing to chop more money, but there is no panel to discover talents.

i hope, one day, God will touch the heart of this selfish leaders who only cares about their stomach. it leaves one to wonder sometimes whether it is their wives that is pregnant or them.

BRAIN ARE WASTING TOO MUCH IN THIS NATION. AND I WILL ADVICE THE WHITE MEN TO STOP INVESTING IN NIGERIA, BUT THEY SHOULD RATHER START INVESTING IN NIGERIAN
