- The Kainji Hydropower project, constructed in the late 1960s, has suffered damage over the years. Chinese experts have been enlisted to conduct extensive repair work, with a team of 23 divers arriving at Kainji in March to commence the intricate repair process, aiming for completion within three months.

With projects like this, the Nigerians should include the training of locals by the Chinese in the long-term, China cannot be there forever..
That's down to the government's to demand it as part of the contract. If they don't then we can't blame the Chinese.
Ha ha. China will be there forever. That's the long game.
@@damon79 It's easy to force them out unlike Nato and USA 🤣🤣🤣
There is some institutes (called the luban institute if not mistaken) established by China which helps train local talents; you could see if there is any in Nigeria

What are you saying Nigeria and Nigerians already built the dam it's just cheaper to have a Chinese firm fix it.
While china and others were learning science and engineering, Africans were busy learning European languages, depending who colonized the country, and see that as education.
Well done, China. We value this partnership.
True bro, but we really need to invest more in human resources... We don't have enough technical manpower.
@@mayowailesanmi7423 Absolutely.
It's probably another scam
@@Repdem how is it a scam? pls explain..

It's disheartening to witness Nigeria's missed opportunities in investing in knowledge. China's involvement highlights this gap, as there seems to be a lack of Nigerian representation in projects where knowledge transfer could occur. Relying solely on foreign expertise without a strategy for knowledge acquisition perpetuates the cycle of dependence.
Well said. Get them to teach Nigerians how to fix it themselves.. Then those Nigerians can teach other African Countries. It's the finder fees for the contracts that holds Africa back.
What are you saying Nigeria and Nigerians already built the dam it's just cheaper to have a Chinese firm fix it.
Does this mean Nigeria does not have trained divers that could have cleaned out the debris out initially? Did Nigeria mandate that Nigerian divers and engineer be included in this task? How will Nigeria be able to do this work in the future if China is not mandated to include Nigerians to fix this? What a miss opportunity.
My opinion exactly. After over 60yrs, with all the citadel of higher learning, we can not boast of engineers who can deliver on this job, such that we have to run to the chinese to do this job.
do you know Nigerians occupies jobs in USA you think the USA dont have Americans to work the jobs? Na so so complain una sabi. u no dey ther but they talk like say u dey there
Nigeria will eventually become an economic powerhouse, and headline Africa into development
Well done China 🇨🇳
China in this particular field also many other area like it , are extremely impressive the leaders in innovations technicals i'm from the uk
What's wrong with the engineers from Nigerian universities?
What is the budget of the universities in Nigeria.
It's not assist. Chinese is hands for hire. It's not free. Nigerian gave China job
What are you talking about? Flee with your negative mindset
@@amirshake9803 you're are the one negative. Another word for assistance is help or charity. This is business and Nigerian provided opportunity for Chinese .. Nigeria gave China a contractual employment. That's it.
Basically Nigeria failed to do any maintenance on this hydroelectric site for decades. Great that the required maintenance was completed before the dam failed.
They didn’t fail they abandoned it & travelled to Europe
They never built it on their own that's why
God bless you China 🇨🇳 Amen
Thank you China
Only Chinese can do this ❤❤❤❤ Jamaica
Thank you China❤❤❤
This is not free let's try to understand how things work rather being subservient. What does "Thank you China" entails for God's sake. How Pathetic!
nigeria is not moving
@@abbaahmed8289 yes saying thank you to others who are helping you to get ahead is pathetic?? Did your mother not teach you any manners....
Why don't you do it yourself then, then you don't need to be crying on the internet..
Nigeria is paying for the service...stupid
@@mahamaedmusaNext time say the area you're living is not moving or you as a Nigerian ain't moving stop speaking for all
They built it
Not assist but partnership and business. It was paid for. Just like you employing someone to do what you can't do and pay for the job.
Exactly
where is the Nigerians that need to learn from this people ? our government are just so blind to what is call"transfer of skills" how long are we going to be relying of foreign people for our development?
In the classrooms, they are learning how to do the job...
You can't have students walking around while these men are working, they would only be an annoyance to the people who are doing a difficult and dangerous job..
China gives scholarship to 10.000 Africans each year to come and study in China..
These people will have the knowledge and skills to do this job in the future...
@@kaimanyu586 this kind of jobs need apprentice that would be there to learn you can't learn practical job in the classroom but let hope we have those learning this like the ijaw and mostly people from niger-delta this would be there bread and butter thanks

I thinking is a good thing Africa is patterning with China in all fields. Am also impressed with the way they work here in Africa and also give room for us to learn from them.
So there are no Nigerian engineers that can fix this dam? Such that we have to depend on the Chinese?
We can't so shit let me be honest. If we can do it we won't need China assistant to do it.
What's wrong with that. Mumu that's why Africa is backwards
I'm not sure you read my message properly. Isn't it a shame that after over 60yrs as a nation, with all universities we have, we can't boast of engineers to fix our problems such as this? @johnnwabuforudemezue1108

China is a blessing from God. Thanks to China, the whole world has access to everything cheaply, otherwise we would be devastated by poverty.❤🇨🇳

Pathetic! China is not a blessing. China has an interest and it's the interest of China you're witnessing. How shallow can you be to make such a statement?
@@abbaahmed8289And why do you expect people to work and not benefit from it or have interests in it? Is that how things work?
You need a mind reset
lkon Allah yafi ga haka
Assist ? Or partner
same thing dummy
On individual level Africans are hardworkers we just lack management, we in Africa really dont need Chinese however in all parts of Africa trying to coordinate Africans to work together seems not to work, we are too selfish no wonder Chinese come
We still under colonisation. No matter our efforts those in power will always choose decisions that keep us subservient to the west
We are not actually selfish though. As you put it, its all in leadership and management. Our politics is based on popularism and not policies. So when we need real leadership we only get people that solve the symptoms and not the source. Unfortunately a family friend also is a diver in Nigeria and he too is not from there. It seems our leaders are all quick to outsource instead of integrating. What makes Europe/America great is that they integrate the skills they lack in. In Nigeria there should be divers that are sourced permanently as strategic employees that will also train the next generation at home. All the best to all of us
That's indeed one out myriads of problems, thank you for teasing that out. Regardless, Nigeria is still Nigeria and slowly but surely we are chipping at it. No one will make it a success for us, but us. There is the task, let's keep chipping at making it better.
@@abbaahmed8289 All the best family, much love from South Africa

Thank you, China!
Why Chinese? Don't we have people that can do this
They must always come and help us, we cannot do anything on our own. Aren’t we a cursed people?
Well, if you don't have the " know how" you learn. That's what China did. There is nothing wrong with being helped and learn from the helper in the process!
You are cursed no doubt.
Bravo china we are continuously and increasingly behind you
Probably a rip off, given China's history
It's unfortunate that some Nigerians think China is doing Nigeria a favor, far from that China and Chinese companies have economic and to a large extent political interest. In this situations, you don't have a permanent enemy or friend, but a permanent interest. China is a Nation with Political and Economic interest like any other Nation around the world, and you all need to understand China and its companies are not doing Nigeria any favor period!. If China/companies from China, did not win the contract to "assist" certainly other companies from other countries would do that and it is not free. China and it's companies are not social welfare agencies, they are profit making in nature and in all they do. Wake up!
What is Nigeria government doing ?, since china is not doing us a favor. Has our own government done any favors for us
Life is give and take, stop seeing something sinister in everything. Some people would come online and write stuffs like they know more than the government. Government consist of lots of professionals and technocrats FYI!
The world is a market place... it's business for both counties and it's the same with other counties
Oga come and enter under water and do the work as a patriotic citizen that you are.
Why would China or anybody else do this for free? It's business...
Do you work for your boss for free? Why not??
The difference between China and The West is, China offers a fair business deal and doesnt try to rip off Africa, like the West does..
That's why all African nations prefer to work with China, because the deals are better...
When did anybody ever say, it's all for free??
Nigeria is one giant joke of a country! Hope it will get better under their Tinubu 🤞

You find china everywhere there is business
US is found wherever there is war.
Go and compare us and China infrastructure, US is far behind with old structures. China on the other hand has new , old but well maintained, futuristic and modern structures.
You cant do business peacefully and not thrive .
China citizens are becoming richer. Is citizens are becoming homeless day by day but US prefers to start and fund wars than seeing to welfare of its citizens. A nation on lost cause . What a shame ! Used to have American dream before but now, Africa dream alongside china and the likes of Russia is the way to go
