Akposkool:
That uninterrupted power supply caught my attention. So this place exists in Rivers State. Well I know those seven states that generates less to the government than this island are Northern and Western States. Poor ass states enjoying Niger Delta money.

Millerz:
Did it occur to you that the O.P may be referring to foreigners maybe?

Broszamb:
Yes They Are Places That Have Unimterupted Power Supplt In Nigeria. But They Are Provided By Companies Not Government. I Lived In Julius Begger Camp For 20 Yeard Without Saying Up Nepa

oseiwe:

Bonny and afam in rivers state are not on the national grid

kenex4ever:
u done hear of turbine b4?.
All u need is to fuel d turbine and bony is d home for gas

Viking007:

Visa? In Bonny? Bros suffry dey lie.
They do have very stable power supply & apart from the highly guarded and fenced NLNG 'town', the rest of Bonny is nothing special.

basilo102:
see the shanties where the indigenes live. all the exotic placts you posted are inhabited by foreigners and Naija Top shots. the people still languish in penury

Viking007:

The poverty in that island is just shameful. People living in zinc/wooden houses. Despite all the wealth surrounding them.

That's why I dont really blame all those Niger Delta Avengers/activists.

I think where he meant was where the workers are staying because I was there in 2007 and I was issued a temporary visa before I could enter the residential area. No visa, no entry and exit so you must guard it jealousy.

Titheman:
is it Dubai? cuz I dnt think anywhere in Nigeria can have light 4 10years no off and on even aso rock

Caveatemptor:
@OP,
As others have posted, the pictures you posted and painted is the NNLG quarters, for foreign and local staffers of the NNLG. In those quarters there is apartheid, because certain areas are reserved for foreigners. I say this with all authority because I worked there in 2006 for about six months before I was transfered across the river to ALSCON in Akwa Ibom state. ALSCON which stands for Aluminium Smelting Company of Nigeria,is similar to NNLG in Bonny.
Beautiful residences built for the staffers with all comfortable amenities while the indigenous people of the vicinity wallow in abject poverty.
The 24 hours electricity is restricted to the NNLG and provided by gas turbines and not PHCN or NEPA,while ghettos like Finisima,Bonny town and Ikot Abasi wallow in abject poverty and darkness.
These are the main reasons for militancy in the Niger Delta.
Forcadoes in Delta State is another example of a developed town/city surrounded by abject poverty.
I know all these things because if you wanted to eat real local foods such as fresh fish,Banga soup and starch,you had to leave the developed cosmopolitan areas to the ghettos to eat proper African foods and while there you could sense the poverty,anger and tension of the indigenous people. The anger of the Niger Delta people in the swamps is real and can only be assuaged by proper development of the area by the government.

Originalsly:
Was this developed by Independent Nigeria?...or by the British and just happened to be maintained to date? ...and are the residents local or is it more like an expat community?...just curious.

2dugged:
milliatancy was birthed long after the discovery of oil, it started after the patience of these communities wore out,don't talk like oil exploration started today ,even in that same community, from comments you can see that just on the other side of the wall of the nnlg is the complete opposite

adepiero:
You have a point. Things would be better if those militant realize that the destruction of those pipelines equates to the destruction of their land.

dimexy247:
2. Bonny Island is also one of the safest places in Nigeria.

There is also a 24/7 air, water and land security surveillance system.

dimexy247:
5. Bonny Island has a beach, an airport, a full golf course, themed nature park and a world-class jetty.

ogorwyne:
Bonny Island is quite expensive too o.

Axon:
Was there in 2010.... no visa issued

Place is good and secure sha

OJUcrook:
OP, dont mislead people, there is no visa requirement to get to Bonny. it will also do u well if you post the entire picture of Bonny, not just the NLNG town. There are rugged areas and ghettos too.

Titheman:
is it Dubai? cuz I dnt think anywhere in Nigeria can have light 4 10years no off and on even aso rock

Viking007:
its called Pass not visa. And it's just for those in Finima(LNG quarters) not the entire Bonny.
