Bonny could ring a bell in the ears of many as the town where the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas(NLNG) plant is situated, but for those who do not know, it is an island by the coast of the Atlantic Ocean and one of the 23 local government areas of Rivers State, as well as home to the newly a established Federal Polytechnic of Oil and Gas.

The most remarkable thing about this town is that there is never power failure!
Yes, you heard well; Bonny residents enjoy 24/7 electricity supply all year round!

In my two-years stay in the town so far, the total time of power outage is less than 6 hours. Such outages are usually due to routine maintenance by the BUC(Bonny Utility Company). The residents hardly know how much kerosene or cooking gas sells for because they cook with electric cookers and power availability is guaranteed for their daily cookings.

My question is: if this could work in Bonny, can't this model be studied and replicated in other parts of Nigeria?

Almost relocated there last year and I don't regret changing my mind. Two major issues with bonny island is water and cultism. They don't have water, it's being routinely supplied but worst of all is cultism, an everyday lifestyle, @op bonny island ain't the only place with that much power supply, you forgot omoku but they all have the same thing in common, crime rate and cultism at it's peak. Also the waterways between ph and bonny is a den of robbers and pirates from the creeks. I ain't exaggerating. You can only really enjoy bonny if you are inside nlng and travel with nlng boats that have military escorts.

Lols...shey boat no go capsize so

That amount is okay as long as there's regular power supply. But how do the whites leave the place or is their work primarily there? Also what of security and safety? Hooe no militants or natural disaster like flooding etc.

As a medical doctor can I get a hospital to work in over there...tnx.
There are hospitals of course.
The whites and other LNG workers live in the NLNG residential area(someone posted an aerial photograph of the place in this thread). If they have need to travel to Port Harcourt, NLNG operated boats convey them there. They also make use of choppers!

You made a valid point regarding water. It's a bit of a challenge (though it's not too bad), but there's an ongoing multi-billion naira water project, which when completed will see an end to that.
In general though, I still prefer the situation bc water can be fetched, stored and used later, unlike light!
As for cultism, I have never had any bad experience in the two years I've been here. I have never been harassed even when i sometimes have to walk home at very late hours. Again, cultism is a general problem in the south-south region and not peculiar to Bonny!
Re: A City In Nigeria With 24/7 Electricity Supply! by Orikinla(m): 10:33pm On Jun 11, 2015
I lived on Bonny Island for about four years.
Yes, there is regular power supply since 2003, but the town outside the Nigeria LNG RAs still looks as underdeveloped as Ajegunle in Lagos.

[Afam Okoloma Ndoki are runs the same way as Bonny too. so Govt should handle their projects well especially in the power sector.

And I guess d accommodation you're talking about will be outside NLNG residential area. I hope the light there is d same 24hrs light. What about security hope no militants? Hope no flood? Can one swim in d waters around d island? Tell me d things i should be worried about.

Bonny is owned by foreigners. The villagers there suffers like we do. No entrance is allowed by uninvited guest into the main city.

But someone just said they enjoy 247 light na.

Bonny is an island ran by white men from shell, no surprises dere
"ran" by white men? Ran in what sence? That "the" white men are local govt chairmen or in the cabinet of the king or secretary to the govt. Please tell me what position of influence does these white men hold in Bonny town other than work at the industrial rea for which they were brought and go home back to their residential area. then leave the country after completion of their job. why do you like disgracing your family by talking rubbish and making the whole world know that formal education wasnt provided for you

We used to have 24 hours uninterrupted power supply here in Kainji, Niger State. Until recently when our transformers start malfunctioning. As it is, when there is no case of minor fault or fallen electric poles, we still have up to 22 hours power supply or more.

SEE ANOTHER DUMB GUY!!

DID YOU READ THAT ARTICLE AT THE BACK OF YOUR YANSH? undecided

THE OP MAKE MENTION OF GAS POWER PLANT LIKE TWO TIMES AND YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE SOURCE OF CONSTANT POWER SUPPLY.


LEARN TO READ AND UNDERSTAND, DON'T THINK LIKE AN ANIMAL


You must be a goat! Do you know how many gas plants there are in Nigeria?

22 (Twenty-two)!!! 7 of them are fully operational, 8 are partially operational while most of the rest are under construction.

So if it necessarily follows that where there is a gas plant there would be 24/7 electricity, do you have any idea the number of towns or villages around them in Nigeria that would boast of electricity for at least 18 hours of the day.

I just can't imagine the magnitude of your foolishness; rushing into hasty conclusions. No wonder you type in capital letter. grin

Bros,Its nt a Rocket science.This is nt about believe.Its about the will to do it. Our Leaders gives themselves to much problem to deal with. The way forward is create the power needs that can serve every village,town,City and State. No need of all this National Grid hulla balloo. Same can also be done in Refinaries establishment(Moduler Rifeneries)

More light about Gauta, Keffi, Nassarawa State or constant electricity? Lols

Anyways, I heard the then governor of this state has a farm at the interior part of the village. The high tension cable passed thru this town to the farm. Even Keffi as a town doesn't enjoy this.

Well, blame it on our greedy politicians whose interests are in their pot belly
