Can Solar Power Solve Nigeria's Energy Crisis?
Nigeria’s energy crisis has persisted for decades. Africa's largest country is largely powered by fuel generators. They're noisy, dirty, and bad for the environment. But they also provide power to millions of people in a country with an unreliable grid.
The removal of Nigeria's long-standing fuel subsidy in 2023 caused the price of fuel to quadruple, leaving Nigerian consumers searching for options. And many are going solar.
So while economic considerations have largely driven Nigeria's transition to solar power, it has positive climate implications too.
But why is the grid so broken? How can it be fixed? And is decentralized solar energy an adequate solution to solve Nigeria's energy cris...

Electrolysis of Sea Water to produce hydrogen 6. Piezoelectric generators embedded in roads and sidewalks. All these technologies were proposed or developed abroad but here in Nigeria we're fighting for crude oil (I don't care anymore, come and carry it) - when we should be busy developing our own solutions not waiting for the more advanced countries to do it and buy from them expensive (or often old and redundant tech). "Change is on the horizon", I say "Change will wreck you if you don't move with it." If we start now, then tomorrow is guaranteed - I'm developing my own technologies to produce hydrogen and electricity that are cheaper than crude oil products and reduce our dependence.

    Nice story. As the early adopters of solar have their panels age out recycling is one thought for the western world. However, providing them to developing areas maybe a better solution to extend the usable life even longer than 20-25 years. A panel does not necessarily become useless it normally drops in output capability from new to a point that would encourage the owner to replace them.

    People who already have generator or generators should have a dual input inverter system/switch box which could be Automatic or Manual switching. Then if there is grid maintenance or climate/weather damage in the area which admittedly is gonna be a concern and problem that everybody in the area is going to be affected by very highly likely than not so having options to use already in place built into the grid and infrastructure from the get go is highly necessary and important. There could be local events that include educating, training, teaching people with hands on experience so people will take care of solar equipment and their generators and all the hardware that goes along with it and any software that is in use along with it.

Sources like the Thorium-Salt reactors would be excellent for Nigeria, but let's be honest with ourselves, how many 'engineering graduates' in Nigeria have heard of these new reactors? Even though the concept is ten years or so old. We're talking about solar energy so much when it's not that efficient (30 - 40%), Artificial Photosynthesis is an upcoming technology that should be commercially viable by 2030, Bio-Fuels like ethanol from corn or methane from algae can be developed here, electrolysis of sea water to produce hydrogen, etc, can be done in Nigeria. We're not researching now to at least develop it independently. Instead, let the West do it first, go through all the hurdles, and sell it very expensive to us, then the imbecile of a president will cut a ribbon and it's non-functional in the next five years. Nigerians are travelling abroad to study, and they'll develop those technologies there, but the idiot professors and what-the-fuck-level-of-useless PhD programmes here can't produce one good idea. Add renewable energy sources, and nobody will get hurt from it.

    What’s the point in selling solar panels to few individuals who can afford it? Solar Panels with cost you mentioned is more of a niche product than a productive solution. Sell your idea to the govt. and see if they will buy it. If you truly believe in “sustainable energy” you should scale it up. And scaling things up won’t be possible if collectively the govt. would take efforts to generate significant energy through solar panels. They would still have to manage their grid, and distribution systems efficiently with no chance of any tampering of the distribution system. What you are doing now is just saying that we have convinced 0.000001% of Nigeria’s population to chip in to the idea of “sustainability”. That is just selling an idea not actually adding value to actual transformation which again can only happen if significant amounts of energy produced is through a solar grid. For people living in apartments how will they benefit from few solar panels and even if they do it would be so little and negligible. Solar panels cannot work unless if the entire world can collaborate together like how it is doing with fiber optics for most part. Trust me if the entire world collaborates on solar grid then it will truly make humans a better civilization. Since Earth has a day and night cycle if the world where it is day can sell excess energy to the night side of world and vice versa. I think it is possible provided people are not behaving in an opportunistic manner rather looking it as an opportunity to meet global challenges while meeting human needs.

Green hydrogen is ideal for heavy industries, factories, and long-distance travel.

    Nigeria is nothing short of an embarrassment to the African continent. You are a major oil producer and yet cannot solve this one problem. All you do is have sex, commit fraud and pretending to be smart. Clowns. Pure jokers. A complete waste of resources. Worse is the fact that you find your way to other countries to spread your nasty habits. SMH.

    I don't understand. Are you selling affordable solar solutions, or you're just speaking English with American accent? There's already solar systems around the place. Everybody will switch over to such in an instant and ditch the collapsing power grid. But solar systems are unaffordable to the people who need it the most. What exactly are you offering in this video?

    Decentralized energy production is the solution as the grid system should be shut down not built up as it's a product of the EU/Western powers that simply put creates slaves. Plus just take a look around and anyone can see that these grid systems are only for those at the top as it leaves those at the bottom totally in the dark most of the time. Simply put one must take full control of their own energy needs to remain free so the people need system that allow them to be able to do so. Hydrogen is the solution if generators are to be used, but they are not yet a stand alone technology until the technology I'm working is developed and ready for the masses. So, these Decentralized Systems need to take the best stand alone technologies and put them together in a workable platform that the below average person can reasonably afford. Most do not know this but hydrogen can fully replace the use of fossil fuels and it can be created at home if the people are given the means to do so as all one needs is water. I'm going to have to step up my efforts to get this technology developed so that it can make a difference in people's lives as the technology puts full control of one's energy needs in the hands of the individual. Most will read this and say that hydrogen isn't a solution based on what these EU/Western powers have been telling you totally forgetting that they tell you these things as these technologies goes against their interest. So, yeah, they lie to you so that they can keep the monies flowing in. The technology I'm working on works but the science behind the technology lives in an area where things are a bit grey in our teachings on science. Here is the theory behind the science: "All Molecules can be separated into their component atoms by taking away the electrons from the atoms that make up the molecules." That is the science behind this type of water separation in that the atom's electrons were the target to get the water molecules to break apart into it's component atoms. In nature what Meyer did was to mimic the earth's global electric circuit, IE, a thunderstorm. What I found in my studies on thunderstorms is what is being taught about them is incorrect as thunder is caused by the water molecules being broken down into hydrogen and oxygen gases by way of ionization as the cloud system builds up an electric charge. The water is separated at the bottom of the cloud and the hydrogen gases rise to be ignited at the top of the cloud which we all hear and feel on the ground as thunder. This type of water separation creates hydrogen, oxygen, and an electric charge as that electron remains in the cloud system. As this process repeats itself over and over the electric charge build up will finally reach the point where it has enough energy to overcome the air's resistance to current flow and then a lightning strike happens. That is just one example of nature performing this type of water separation but there are more as plants also break the bonds of the water molecules by taking away the electrons from the atoms that make up the water molecules by way of photosynthesis. Now when you go over photosynthesis you must ask the right questions in order to see the plant break the bonds of the water molecules by taking away the electrons from the atoms to break the bonds of the water molecules. The question that needs to be asked is, "How does a plant break the bonds of the water molecules?" With this correct and most direct question you will be able to see just where the plant took the electrons away from the atoms causing the water molecules to fall apart and just as in the thunderstorm breaking the bonds of the water molecules like this produces hydrogen, oxygen, and a electric charge. Now the plant has no use for the oxygen and releases it but it keeps the hydrogen and makes use of the electricity being generated to sustain itself as all living things do. Us animals break the bonds of the water molecules by chemical reactions but the result is always the same in that you get hydrogen, oxygen, and the creation of electricity. Now the system in animals is complexed but it is the reason why we would die in about three days without water as basically the body would lose the ability to send electric charges that tell things like the heart to beat or the lungs to contract and expand and other things of the like that require electrical impulses. Now I have just given you three examples of this type of water separation taking place but trust me there are more that happen each and everyday on this planet as anything that gets the electrons away from the atoms that make up the water molecules will cause those water molecules to breakdown into it's component atoms. Just as a bonus the explosions that happened at Fukushima Nuclear plant were a result of this type of water separation in that the radiation bombardment was high enough to knock off the electrons from the atoms which again produced hydrogen, oxygen, and the creation of an electric charge and once that charge had built up to the point here it could over come the air's resistance to current flow it produced a spark in the presence of hydrogen and oxygen gases and the rest is history. Again in order to see these things you must first ask the right questions which is why mainstream scientist haven't figured this all out as they haven't been asking the right questions and if you never ask the question how can you ever answer it? Just image no one has ever ask, "How does a plant break the bonds of the water molecules?," before in all this time we have been teaching and studying science. I went and asked the right questions and then moved to answer those questions which sets me aside of everyone else. My primary problem is money as the USA is now starting to fail and I am stuck right in the middle of it and as such it takes me a lot of time to be able to afford the things I need to get this technology off the ground. Right now I'm working almost 11 hours a day which doesn't leave me a lot of time to work on the technology even though I have it mostly solved I simply do not have the time or the money to put into at a rate that can make a difference as of yet, but know I am working on it when I get the chance to do so. My aim is to put the individual in full control of their own energy needs with this technology as that is true freedom. No more paying for fossil fuels and no more electric bills is what this technology is capable of doing and as you can imagine that is something these EU/Western power have no desire in seeing the people get implemented into their lives as it kills their cash cow.

      Solar Energy is not the way forward for anything. It's still too inefficient, takes up a crap ton of land area, it would make landscapes look like shit, and it depends on the weather, which is not something you want to base the productivity of any country, much less one still classified as developing (I would even say "devolving") on. What should become the future of Nigeria is citizens educating themselves properly and learning to hold our so-called leaders accountable, no matter what, go on to invest in actually reliable sources of energy, for instance, the crude oil we pride ourselves on having, and later incorporate something even more superior, Nuclear energy. In the meantime, Solar and Wind are at best, reasonable stop-gaps that can be used to serve remote areas or augment the currently epileptic grid supply on a per-household basis
