Every minister announces a grid target. Every GenCo misses it. At some point, the forecast becomes fiction. Build your business on what the grid IS, not what it's supposed to be. #GenCo #NigeriaPower #NigeriaEnergy #GridReform

Unpopular opinion: Nigeria's power sector privatisation created more problems than it solved. Agree or disagree? Explain yourself. #NigeriaPower #Privatisation #DisCo #NigeriaEnergy

The best time to position for an energy deal in Nigeria is before the client knows they need you. Build the relationship in the quiet. Close in the crisis. #NigeriaEnergy #BusinessDevelopment #MarketAccess #Sales

@maxvayshia Samsung literally makes the OLED panels inside iPhones. So when you're praising the iPhone display, you're lowkey praising Samsung's manufacturing anyway. Apple just buys the canvas. Samsung painted it. Besides both displays are awesome lol.

@maxvayshia Amoled or super-amoled is just a marketing term. All modern smartphones use the same active-matrix OLED technology. Just marketed differently.

Foreign investors entering Nigeria without local partnership don't fail because of regulation. They fail because they don't know who to call. Market access isn't logistics. It's intelligence. #NigeriaEnergy #MarketEntry #AfricaBusiness #MarketAccess

Telecom tower companies in Nigeria run diesel 18-20hrs/day. Do the math on that fuel bill. Now do the math on a BESS+solar hybrid payback period. That's why towers are the entry point. #Telecoms #BESS #NigeriaEnergy #TowerPower

If you had to choose one sector for BESS deployment in Nigeria right now, which one would be your pick: Telecoms towers, Banks, Industrial manufacturers, or Commercial real estate? Why? #BESS #NigeriaEnergy #EnergyStorage #Poll

3 things I've learned navigating the Nigerian energy market: 1. Relationships open more doors than specs 2. Trust takes time but pays eventually 3. Every 'no' is a timing issue, not a rejection #NigeriaEnergy #MarketAccess #AfricaBusiness #Lessons

IMPROVEMENT IN THE POWER SECTOR IS FELT, NOT TOLD. Maybe, just maybe… Nigeria’s electricity problem is no longer simply about “more generation.” Yes, there are genuine ongoing projects: OB3, AKK, ELPS expansion, transmission substations, SIEMENS UPGRADES, STATE ELECTRICITY MARKETS etc. Nobody paying attention can honestly say nothing is happening. But we also need to stop treating “ongoing” like an achievement. In Nigeria, some projects have been “95% complete” since the time of Adam. A power project cannot be “almost ready” for 7–10 years. Every major project should have a clear completion date, public milestones and accountability if timelines fail. A few uncomfortable truths: 1. The privatisation may need revision. The DisCos likely need a mandatory recapitalisation exercise: something similar to what Soludo’s CBN did with banks. Electricity is too important for operators who cannot sufficiently invest in infrastructure, metering and network upgrades. 2. Regulation has to become enforcement. NERC and state regulators cannot continue operating mainly through statements and guidelines yet when a citizens reports an issue; it dies off somewhere,somewhere without resolution. Compliance should be proactive, measurable and enforced. 3. We should judge the sector by outcomes, not announcements. Since 2023, the messaging has largely been the same: improve electricity supply, stabilise the grid and increase delivered power. Yet reality has been mixed. 2023: Better electricity supply was promised. Some may argue that they are currently worst off in terms of supply experience. 2024: Major focus shifted to grid stability and transmission improvements. Yet grid disturbances still happened repeatedly. 2025: Nigeria recorded generation highs close to 6,000 MW: genuine progress that deserves acknowledgment. But sustained supply still remains far below meagre 5,000 MW. Now the official ambition is 8,000 MW by 2027. Possible? Yes. Achievable? Also yes. But Nigerians have heard enough projections since NEPA era. The hard questions remain: What project will be completed? By when? What exact MW will it add? And how do Nigerians measure success beyond press statements? Else, propaganda runs amok.

ON THE POWER MATTER... CURRENT SITUATION GENCOS already have installed capacity of about 14,000 MW but actual generation is only about 4,500 MW TRANSMISSION COY has capacity of 8,000 MW but actual transmission is about 4 000 MW DISCOS can only dustribute what they get but

@NationalGridNg "Improvement is felt, not told" does all the heavy lifting this post needed. The rest is just receipts.

@MeiaArmador__ @benediction_1 Going long wasn't the problem, not using the half space was. Raya was poor in that aspect almost all through with rushed kicks. Still can't understand why that space wasn't utilised

DisCos posting load data like it's an achievement. Bro, 12 hours of supply in Lagos isn't a milestone! It's a floor. #DisCo #NigeriaPower #NigeriaEnergy #LoadShedding

Nigeria: 200M+ people. Less than 4,000MW of actual grid availability. That gap isn't a problem statement. It's a market size. #NigeriaEnergy #AfricaEnergy #EnergyAccess #Infrastructure

For the records, i don't sell equipment. I open doors. There's a difference between a vendor and a market navigator. One gets RFQs. The other gets called first. #MarketAccess #NigeriaEnergy #BusinessDevelopment #AfricaBusiness

The hardest part of selling BESS in Nigeria isn't the technology. It's trust. Local market access = the unfakeable moat. #BESS #MarketAccess #Truth #NigeriaEnergy #EnergyStorage

People keep waiting for the grid to stabilize before investing in Nigerian energy. The grid IS the investment case. The worse it gets, the better the off-grid economics. #NigeriaGrid #OffGrid #EnergyAccess #NigeriaEnergy
