how many communities or local government areas enjoy the said otedola and adeleke's power plant?
That's if there's truly any sort thing.

Just congratulate Abians and demand your government to do same. No need to hate them or draw unnecessary comparison

It is never enough because of
there many industries in Lagos

Abia has only markets, no single industry.

I don't believe that ABA plant generates up to 30MW because 188MW is too much for the whole of South east , not to talk of Aba

You are very right. APC also stopped Olusegun Obasanjo and Yar'Adua from appointing him, and APC also held Goatluck Jonathan down at GUN point to sack the man after Goatluck appointed him.

You need medical examination

Nigeria is the country mostly led by people from the area acclaimed to be most educationally disadvantaged.
Result is this hell for all in Nigeria.

Worse, Buhari and his Janjaeeed APC has taken this country more than 50 years behind.

Census was about to be done in 2016, Buhari postponed it because an Igbo man was Chairman of NPC.
Kwankwaso told Jonathan to fire the earlier Igbo Chairman of NPC because the Chairman said he would conduct a transparent census exercise.


Buhari's group insisted that Barth Nnaji be removed from office as Power Minister.

You guys are taking it out of context, it is not political party issue per se but just politics. When vested interests observed the giant stride prof. Barth Nnaji as minister of power was making in that sector to salvage the power generation deficit in the nation's power industry; which was inimical to their business interest these entities connived with the then vice president Namadi Sambo to falsely accused him of abuse of office. This development necessitated president Jonathan government to coerce him to resign paving way for sales of MIKANO and others till date.

If not that APC members love politics more than their lives, these are the kinds of technocrats that should be made the power minister.

Na for APC government lawyer be power and aviation ministers. Those people don't care about development; they are just after the next election!

Geometric power project is Nigeria’s only integrated power project.
It is Licensed to both generate and distribute electricity

Nigeria has one of the best brain in the world in matters of power, in Prof. Barth nnaji but tribalism , nepotism , useless politicking and stupidity has kept the nation in darkness.

I remember the tremendous increase in power when he was minister. I dont know what he did but i was having 18-20 hours of sure electricity everyday.
I remember his team were always out there in the media interacting with the public on their job.
The very day he left , it didnt take up to 6hrs, power went back to flat.


Nnaji also revealed that if the 188-megawatt Geometric Power Plant in Aba and the Aba Power distribution company in Osisioma Industrial Layout had been situated in Ikeja, the Ilupeju Industrial Estate in Lagos State, the Agbara Industrial Layout in Ogun State, or somewhere in the vicinity of the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja, they would have been more profitable ventures.

“The return on investment would have been quicker and bigger (in these locations)


Nothing can give as much fulfillment and satisfaction as working wholeheartedly for your people,” he added.

End of story.
I was hurt when he left, but he unintentionally break the constitution so he resign.

From the quote you boldened.... can't you see your so called technocrat is nothing but a bigot.

He even used his own mouth to confess it.

He chose his ethnic place over a place he admitted would have been more 'profitable for such venture'

They will never see that. These guys is exactly what they accuse others of and more.

Tinubu got just 58% of SW votes, Yorubas are tribalistic, Obi (who they once cursed) got 90% of SE votes, no problem.

Ronu rabblerousing as usual.
Propagandists, lies and invincible tales specialists.

Simply mention one power minister whose tine in office saw Nigerians enjoy power like Prof nnaji tenure.

I am a lagosian. We enjoyed power like never ever before under barth nnaji.

You are indeed very funny

Where should he have sighted it

Aba is an industrial city

So it was the Best place to sight it

Secondly bringing this private investment to his people is the right thing to do

Except you were not living in Nigeria

His tenure is the only time that I personally witnessed steady electrity in Nigeria

I remember that time my in laws that were living in gated estate where they run steady light with Gen were rejoicing that the they were not paying much again for diesel


Guess what

The diesel, fuel and generator cabals went against him

Because people were spending less on fueling there gen


Weakless Jonathan couldn't defend him

Vice president sambo was the arrow head that said Nnaji must go because he already had geometric power ABA running then

He jejely resigned and faced his geometric power project

Today it has become a success

Immediately he Left

Epileptic power supply returned

Thank God for this project

Next is to power Onitsha and Nnewi with steady electrity

Anambra State Government and wealthy/rich individuals are already on the agenda

Coupled with the East is blessed with Abundant natural gas reserves in Abia, imo, Anambra and part of Enugu State

So electric generation won't be a problem in that region

If the rest of Nigeria want
Let them continue to remain in darkness

Who are those smartest Nigerians?

Ibos ruined Jonathan govt.

Okonjo iweala was a calamity under Obj and Gej.

Obj was disappointed that he removed her from finance to foreign. She resigned later to save face.
A barrel of oil was over $150 during Gej. Everything was mismanaged under okonjo, and Nigeria started borrowing money.

In the days of regional govt, ibos paraded the worst leaders.

When south east could not match other regions, Azikwe connived with ibo soldiers to murder his fellow politicians and returned Nigeria to unitary govt.

I will advice you do proper research.

1. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala -NOI Facilitated the Paris debt forgiveness in OBJ' tenure.
2. She enabled Nigeria to save excess crude money through the Sovereign Wealth Fund, that is in GEJ tenure (Later most Nigeria's gov -with the exception of Peter Obi, agreed that the fund be shared amomgst the 36states.
3. During the regional administration, in the Michael Okpara administration, the South East became the fastest growing regional economy in the world. Abakiliki was producing surplus rice, Port Harcourt oil palm, Enugu coal, Calabar Timber, limestone etc. Agriculture was a big deal, there was excess eggs supply in the market. just to mention a few.

4. Do your research

It is only boasting that no one can compete.

Barth Nnaji tenure as power minister was the first time I witnessed steady electrity in Nigeria

Anyone that was around then knew this fact


Generator fuel and diesel cabals went after him
Because people were spending less on fuel for there gen

This lasted over 4 to 5 months

It was a well known period

But weakling Jonathan who didn't have his mind of his own couldn't save him when these cabals using Namadi Sambo went after him that since he had interest in geometric power that he should go


The man jejely resigned

Faced his project
Today it's a success
