Nigeria to Build Nuclear Power Plant

Nigeria to build [tag]nuclear power[/tag] plant. Peter Griffiths, editor of Business in Africa online muses via BiA newsletter:
“Nigeria sees nuclear as a method of securing power post-oil. At some point oil will run out and so this move seems wise enough, however, Nigeria can’t even produce enough energy now and has actually gone backwards over the last 7 years, with the Nigerian National Power Authority (NEPA) failing to maintain electricity installations. Failing to maintain old [tag]electricity[/tag] installations may be a little annoying to customers, but failing to maintain a nuclear station may be a little bit more disastrous: Need I say ‘Boom’?…African states must be aware of the fact that their nuclear ambitions may hurt their own people”
A case of grandiose delusion: wanting to jump before learning to crawl!

They can’t be serious. What a dangerous waste of money. Well, I guess if South Africa has one, they have to have one, too!

Nigeria, Nigeria
We want to build nuclear plants
We want to go to the moon
We want a single currency for Africa
We want to do everything,
yet we don’t have anything.
We have oil,
yet we still buy refined oil.
We want to do big things,
yet we haven’t done the small things.
Nigeria, Nigeria
Congrats on moving to grandioseparlor.com. Nice clean template.

Thanks Remi. Just as Jen states: It is a dangerous waste of money. But not to worry, I can bet that it’s just another case of blowing hot air; it won’t happen.

THIS ANOTHER INDIRECT METHOD OF SIPHONING OUR MONEY TO THE FOREIGN LAND.
