The first step of solving a problem is its acknowledgement. The trivialization & normalization of corruption is a major issue in Nigeria. It allows corruption to persist as the main impediment of socioeconomic development of 🇳🇬.

One simple steel box changed the world 🌍
In 1956 Malcom McLean revolutionized shipping with the modern cargo container
That invention helped create global trade as we know it today 🚢
This is Akademik Lomonosov (Академик Ломоносов), World’s only Floating Nuclear Power Plant, 70MWe, operating since 2020, powered by x 2 KLT-40S reactors.
Indonesia just signed a deal for 2 floating units, Egypt, Tanzania, Togo and Namibia are in talks to be next in line, all to be powered by Russia’s RITM-200M reactors.
1. Which project(s) are these “containers” for? NIPP? Without proper audit, we may just be releasing scrap.
2. Control cards, Electronics, relays, capacitors, VTs, CTs and other power engineering equipment from 20years ago, if not obsolete, firmware will be outdated and mostly useless.
3. These things require climate control storage systems and not containers that have been under scorching sun and rain.
3. About 13 years ago, I was called into an effort to get some stranded power equipment released, inspected and certify for use. It all died down after some time with no tailwind
4. At this point, it is too late IMHO!
This is one thing that Yar Adua government got wrong.
President Tinubu directs urgent clearance of over 300 containers of stranded electricity equipment, some held at ports for 20 years.

I LOST MY FATHER TO PROSTATE CANCER. I have made it my personal mission to raise awareness about prostate health as a form of charity in his memory.
If you are a man above 40, or you have a father, brother, husband, or friend in this age group, PLEASE SHARE THIS POST TO THEM….
I hope he knows that 2030 is only 40months from now.
How many did we add in last 4 years? 700MW
But he is targeting ~100x in the next 4yrs.
My thoughts on the proposed National Authority for Renewable Energy (NARE) in the EA2025 amendment bill
Policy fatigue
Regulatory and institutional proliferation
Redundancy
Bureaucratic expansion

Oyo 2027 🚨: APC’s Remi Oseni and APM’s Odidiomo Bring Transformers to Same Community as Both Battle for Same Senatorial Seat.
How much of primary energy (crude oil) from which the petrol in your car is made actually reaches the wheel? 13 - 21%.
60% is loss to heat.

Alberta’s rejected flirtation with separation from 🇨🇦 costs $ 125M.
The political cost will only be visible in next political/election cycle.
“The well have been poisoned”
This is not poverty & greed, it’s anyhowness!
Quack-fabricated tanker
Quack auto maintenance
Paper roadworthiness
No technical oversight
No responsibility or accountability
No dedicated HAZMAT route
No other mode of transportation
We shout, cry, mourn and repeat!
Poverty and greed have blind the eyes of so many people.
Have we forgotten the lessons so soon?
Less than 24 hours after a tanker explosion, people are back to scooping fuel at Otedola Bridge again.
It’s heartbreaking and terrifying to watch this unfold.
Just a day after the tragic explosion at Otedola Bridge, crowds are gathered again, risking their lives with buckets and kegs to scoop diesel leaking from the hanging tanker.
When did poverty and desperation make us blind to imminent danger? Safety should always come first.
Please share to create awareness before another disaster strikes.
