Very interesting and educative video. Ndi Enugwu need to get things right these coal section can turn our state into mega one that is why we need to vote a leader that has the people's at heart unlike scavengers

[@Chiefvera]

Totally agree!!

[@demetriusvolkodav4923]

I love inspirational videos like this… this plant is the very being for Enugu and will need someone with a grand vision to mix commercial and tradition into a viable venture. The owner will need to be allowed to make a profit in order to maintain and expand the complex as it grows and not be extorted by the local government as “greedy”.

[@Chiefvera]

Well, that will take a lot of guts, money and vision to actualize

[@henrymmaduabuchi4720]

ChiefVera i think Enugu governement Can réhabilitate this place to start functioning. It Can even bé used for power.

[@Chiefvera]

Power, as in electricity??

[@henrymmaduabuchi4720]

@@Chiefvera yes. As in Electricity.

[@vitalifoma9189]

NO it can't , nigerian government went and signed some stupid agreement with western governments that will stop them from generating electricity with coal

UA-cam nice one , keep deleting my reply to this comment because I mentioned western government

Well Vera, I didn't understand much of what the tour guide was saying, but still enjoyed watching the video. The neighboring state of Kentucky, here in the U.S., was once heavily dependent on the coal industry and there are several museums dedicated to preserving the history of coal mining. Every area that has a unique past should find a way of preserving and remembering that past so future generations can better understand their culture.

Keyword: Preserving the past so that the future generations can better understand their culture.
This is a wishful thought over here.
I thought of you while he spoke in Igbo language, it was a lot to subtitle 🙈
But I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
Thanks for coming around

What do you think of this plant. Let’s talk

[@RadioTV595]

Coal is still being mined and used for power generation around the world, even in Europe despite all the big talk about clean energy.
I once visited an open cast coal mine in Germany which stretched as far as eyes could see. So why is coal mining in Enugu being treated as a museum issue while the place lacks electric power? I don't quite understand why Igbo people allow all the infrastructures built in their land to be abandoned. The same thing goes for the railway system, an area which the Igbo had early advantage. Today all key skills are lost and everyone is a keke driver while the Igbo wait for "federal government".

[@Chiefvera]

But these things are responsibilities of the federal government , aren’t they?
I mean the coal mine, rail lines and other infrastructure?
State government have little or no influence on such.

[@RadioTV595]

@@Chiefvera
Precisely! The same argument used by Ikpeazu et al to wreck Abia state. They sat there while big paw-paw trees were growing and bearing fruits on major roads in Aba, Their reason: these are federal roads! And so they waited for Hausa man from Kano to go to Aba and build "federal" roads and they waited in vain- predictably. If federal government is leaving your regional infrastructure to rot, then what is the role of your senators and other political representatives? Where are the youth, students, women, professional organisations, civil right groups etc?
Why has the "federal government" not arrested Gov. Otti for fixing "federal roads" in Aba? Because there is no flipping "federal government" stopping anyone from doing anything anywhere.

[@vitalifoma9189]

So we have town planners in west africa 😅 what exactly do they do😢

[@Chiefvera]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Coal is no longer lucrative business as well

[@user-tm6kv4hx7h]

US and China are still using coal to generate electricity till today and are still constructing new coal power stations.
