Aba: Tale Of A Forgotten City by IGBOSON1: 12:04pm On Nov 04, 2014
Can anyone in Aba confirm if these shots of Aba are recent, or are they old shots dug up for 'political' reasons? If they show the current state of things in Aba, then one has to wonder if there's any gov't in that state at all! sad

There is PDP government in the State and there is PDP government at the federal level. All of them are wicked and heartless to Aba people. Osisioma is Enugu-PH expressway and Ikot-Ekpene road is federal. Most of those roads are bad intracity roads of Abia government. Igbos need to rise up against PDP's bad plans. Geometric limited owned by an Igbo man Professor Barth Nnaji has completed all requirements to give Aba uninturepted power but another Igbo PDP man Sir Emeka Offor is sitting on it.

The story of how Geometric Power has been prevented from lighting up Aba contains the usual suspects of vested interests, crony capitalists, an inept bureaucracy putting up barriers to doing business, graft, incompetence and murky dealings that can be traced to the very top of Nigeria’s political class.

The successful plot to stop Geometric has been enabled by a hapless president, a vice president captured by vested interests, a defanged Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), a National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) where conflicting interests have led to deceit, and a private sector entity – Interstate Electrics, owners of Enugu Disco – whose intent is essentially to kill Geometric.

It is a tale with few heroes but lots of villains, who have conspired to keep Eastern Nigeria’s industrial hub of Aba, a city of 2 million people, perpetually in the dark.

Knowledgeable sources say the operation of a 140-megawatts power plant primed to deliver power to Aba, a shoe and garment hub of Africa, is being frustrated by PDP kingpin Emeka Offor, the chairman of Chrome Group and promoter of Interstate Electrics Limited, who is also a close personal friend of Namadi Sambo, Nigeria’s vice president.

The sheer misanthropy that accompanies Nigeria’s version of barefaced political brigandage and patronage has left households and industries in entrepreneurial Aba, the “Japan of Africa”, trapped under increasing rolling blackouts. Households in the South East that experience blackouts several times a month and every day are above the national average, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

Complete moral decadence. The businesses should declare the town independent of Nigeria and manage it themselves if the know any better.

It is humbling to think that my people live like that.
