chrisxxx:Can't say I know much about it but the few industries and power houses I have visited there's always heads of operations and if you seem lost and wish to get clarification of who is who no one stops one from asking too. I'm into environmental engineering. |

Oyigbo as a community has over 36 oil & gas wells which many are in full production. I believe that the community should be given a kind of humane treatment when taking into consideration the resources being pumped out from their underground reservoirs. Nigeria is exporting electricity to West African countries on credit, they are owing still they are supplying them electricity, so why are the host communities in darkness. Something is not right in this Country, it's a Pity 2 Likes |

The matter will be resolved, the state government should try and do something about the roads in that area. |

Nice move. Oyigbo people have been marginalized enough. They are the only oil producing lga in rivers state that's not treated as one. Imagine u have power plant in your lga but no light, but in omoku they have power plant they enjoy electricity almost 247 plus the fact that they don't pay for it 1 Like |

stayclearofme:You dont understand and that is why you are saying this. It is not possible to do that. Bro a power station is not a generator house. And because it is not your field that is why it does not sound like a conspiracy theory to you. |

1, The question is do they have right to demand for constant light as host community? 2, what has PHEDC Done for the community as corporate responsibility to elevate the suffering of the community ? 3, this installation has life effect on the community and no govt present to help the community |

The problem is quite simple, there is no light in the lga for more than a month now, phcn wants residing communities to start paying electricity bills, hence shutting down power supply even to the host community, hence the aggravated behavior from the youths. Source....I live in afam 1 Like |

All these unnecessary agitations here and there amuse me most of the time, this is not a war now,look we needed to have begun this agitation of a thing long before everything got sour but it's well I hope we have all realized our mistakes. |
Re: Angry Youths Shut Afam Power Station, Throw Rivers Into Darkness by Kojiek: 6:51am On Aug 17, 2020 |
I am in full support of the power shutdown. Imagine, since the middle of August till date, Obigbo urban have not had power, despite the fact that they pay huge estimated bills monthly. Let the entire Rivers state have a taste of what Obigbo south is suffering. By so doing, the govt's attention will be fully drawn to Obigbo. |

cool318: Bros, i used to randomly get pissed with the government for statement like this. This was until I moved to the Niger Delta and I saw communities stop contractors from building their town road because the company did not pay enough marching ground. Or a community wrestling the government and oil companies not to build a bridge in their community so they can continue to rent their boat and pontoon to the companies in the area. Fear catch me me with the thinking in that place. 1 Like |

offongk:. Has a host community that doesn't mean you are entitled to electricity by force .it all depends on the company's policy. After all you are not paying the gas for them as well as the running cost to keep the plant going. If you feel the gas is your resources then set up your own company to generate electricity for the community then all members will not pay .let see how the company will run.the company tried self.in my residence we are begging the power company to supply us electricity that we are ready to pay but ibedc has refused us to leave to the company. |
Re: Angry Youths Shut Afam Power Station, Throw Rivers Into Darkness by Reference(m): 7:40am On Aug 17, 2020 |
Theu are absolutely correct. How can a community hosting a power station with all its attrndant HSE risks/challenges not have adequate compensation in steady electricity. They are not asking for free power, just power. I just donot understand how things are meant to work in Nigeria but this is just absurd. The most expensive gasoline at the official pumps has always been in the Niger Delta. If they cannot enjoy agriculture at least energy should not be a concern. |
Re: Angry Youths Shut Afam Power Station, Throw Rivers Into Darkness by idahme(m): 8:30am On Aug 17, 2020 |
ruggedtimi: He may not be totally incorrect bro, Bonny has its gas readmission system (GTS) coming from different parts of Rivers State. Line from Obiafu, Ubeta, Obite, Soku, the list goes on before liquefaction takes place there. Bonny is majorely an export haven because of its peculiarity, that's why the plant was set up there in the first place. Bonny residents enjoy power because of the magnanimity of the NLNG . |
