And Vanguard is anti-apc. So we cant even call this a smear campaign.

Abia state Propaganda and paying bloggers/influencers to promote the state can only go so long. Now the people are crying out

Gas is not viable as power source. Power costs has become mediocre for over a decade even in some European countries mainly via wind initially. Ethiopia and DR Congo are now said to be fully on renewable. Nigeria need to go solar and support it with hydro, wind and just a little gas

Reference:
Then you barely have anything consuming power in the house. An average 3 bed house on Band A will consume no less than 20 units of electricity in a day for the 18 - 20 hours and that will cost about N4,500 or about N135,000 a month. This is basic living. No frills. Are you sure all your load is on the meter.

Geometric power only covers the 8 local government in Aba axis.

Umuahia is still under EEDC not under Aba power.

matrixme:
This is where the population advantage sets in. Abians as many others from the South East run to other parts of the country and abroad, leaving their villages sparsely populated and hostile towards non-indigenes

Now when the chips are down, it is time to tell yourselves the truth. A tree doesn't make a forest. Enjoy your expensive constant light in peace while we light our candles with peace of mind from across the Niger. Perhaps, one day, God will touch Adelabu's new replacemet, then we won't have to pay as much for improved electricity.

edogu:
For those who may not understand, Umuahia is still under EEDC. Recently, some communities were migrated to Band A or B, which resulted in a significant increase in electricity tariffs. In my own community, for instance, residents requested a more stable power supply, and EEDC granted the request. Unfortunately, this led to a sharp rise in costs, with electricity bills increasing from about ₦10,000 to ₦50,000. Ironically, the same community members are now the ones complaining.

Metering depends on connection.

I know some who have paid for years and yet to rcv said meter.

jahbenedict:
In terms of energy source, gas is one of the most efficient to produce. From the little I know, gas is the most viable energy source for Nigeria. We have some much gas reserves that using it as an energy source makes the most sense. There is no state in the South-South, and South East that doesn't have gas reserves, Lagos and Ondo as well. We flare so much gas, that it is ridiculous. What is missing is the pipeline network to evacuate the gas to end users, and the political will to ensure that this is achieved.

Gerrard59:
The bold is entirely untrue as gas is the most efficient, carbon friendly compared to coal and a stable form of power generation. Abia is abut to Imo which has a huge gas reserve.

Hydroelectric power only works well when there is a large water body producing a consistent flow of water every month of the year. Abia does not have such. Solar is not realistic as Abia is in the tropical rainforest, not arid northern Nigeria.

Vanguard is Pro LP. The Editor is your kinsman.
You can deny all you want, but you sleep in darkness, pay hefty sums for darkness, gnash your teeth in darkness but make noise online.

Borrow2222:
I don't understand your post.

People paying estimated bills is a general issue in Nigeria. Is Aba in the news the reason?

Are you promoting tribalism?
