CHINA GENERATES 22,500 Megawatts WITH $35 BILLION WHILE NIGERIA GENERATES BASICALLY NOTHING WITH $335 BILLION.__Wonders.

Coming to the issue of power supply in Nigeria, it is not some thing to write home about. Right now that i'm writing to you, i'm making use of fuel generator to upgrade the site every day. What an incredible waste and lack of encouragement from Nigerian leaders. When we talk of power , we have to know that the highest corruption originates mostly from power sectors and oil sector in Nigeria. Okey! look at china, which generates up to 22,500megawatts with only $35billion while Nigeria has only the power generation of barely nothing amounting to 2000megawatts with a lot of money gushed out for this. Right now the FG has announce the sponsor of the power sector with such inflammatory amonut of money as up to $335 BILLION for only 15 years. This is another money to go down memory lane if care is not taking. Lets get to the Chinese efforts and level of development of the power sector. Read ahead my lovely reader:

Three Gorges Dam: The world's largest hydroelectric plant.

In 2012, the Three Gorges Dam in China took over the #1 spot of the largest hydroelectric dam (in electricity production), replacing the Itaipú hydroelectric power plant in Brazil and Paraguay. The Three Gorges Dam has a generating capacity of 22,500 megawatts (MW) compared to 14,000 MW for the Itaipu Dam. But, over a year-long period, both dams can generate about the same amount of electricity because seasonal variations in water availability on the Yangtze River in China limit power generation at Three Gorges for a number of months during the year.
The height of Three Gorges is about 594 feet (181 meters (m)) and the length is about 7,770 feet (2, 335 m). The dam creates the Three Gorges Reservoir, which has a surface area of about 400 square miles (1,045 square kilometers) and extends upstream from the dam about 370 miles (600 kilometers).
In the United States, the Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River, Washington, is the largest, with a generating capacity of about 6,800 MW (5th overall worldwide).
