Site Your Business In Aba for Quick Return On Investment.

When the 4th Turbine of Geometric IPP is switch on by the end of April everything will be complete.

Site your Hotels, Fastfoods Restaurants, Factories etc in Aba and you won't have anything to do with running cost on dieseling and servicing your soundproof generator and thereby making more profit.

No loud am bro. Smart investors are already moving their production plants to Aba en mass. Do you know what constant and relatively cheap power supply can do to any business?

“Please Help Us, The Light In Aba Is Now Too Much, All The Bottles In Our Fridge Are Now Busting” — Aba Residents Cry Out For Help As NEPA Reportedly Leaves Power Stable For More Than 5 Days Now

Lol, watch how the slum dwellers from the waste will start crying over this piece of good news from Aba😂😂

Very senseless people with witchcraft mindset.

Spit!

This same old man has continued fooling himself since 20 years now. Spit!

Fabian Nwigbo, the Chairman, NLC Enugu State Chapter,,,,na sabo.

No Dey jonze yourself. Fabian Nwigbo is even the most realistic by quoting the lowest figures. Those demanding for those high figures are only playing to the gallery.

If minimum wage is close to a million naira, how much will those higher up earn? Has Nigeria suddenly become very wealthy?

Even the paltry 30k minimum wage, many states are yet to implement it. Very unserious country!

This country is gone. I have never seen any normal country where government policy is always aimed at impoverishing the masses. Other progressive countries take pride in the number of people they take out of poverty but in this worthless country, the cursed rulers only enjoy seeing millions going down the abyss of poverty.

Spit!

Putindbutt:
Una don start with this drone pictures again, no be from Abia one papa take kill his son because of food, feed yourselves first before bringing out your dick for measurement.

Unlike the slum region where over 90% of their houses are decayed.

Na them, people with no morals nor decency. Imagine how the foolish minister was congratulating a criminal. Same way they support Tinubu because of tribalism.

Spit!

Akuko not possible

Hater, can you say why it’s not possible?

Igbos or Igboid groups are probably the largest ethnicity in the SS, yet when the term SE and SS is mentioned despite other factors like geography and demographics aligning both regions, the same insecure buffoons from the slum region will start foaming in the mouth.

Spit!

Tellmeastory:


Same thing I’m wondering, my brother.

We set up something like this, and the first thing we think of is to fill it up with foreigners.

What about our own people?

How will they grow?

When the Chinese and Indians set up these facilities in their countries, they don’t look for foreigners to fill up the place. It’s for their own local industries and business people.

Lol, you talk like it’s not Igbos here. We take competition to others in their home turf and win them hands down yet you believe we can’t compete with Indians in our own land?

No country or region in the world can truly become an economic giant by doing it alone. Even China that once closed its borders had to eventually open it and that was when they became the most enterprising and most economically prosperous nation in the world. We need the Chinese and Indians to come and invest while we watch and compete in any areas we can.

We are not oftenmanu people that will live in slums and do agbero while outsiders dominate everywhere .

Lol, it’s a free world so he is entitled to join any group he wants but without Obidient movement, he will become obscure and forgotten in no time.

OfficialAPCNig:

Yoruba man rest, go get your information right before you disgrace yourself.

The project covers 9 LGAs not 7. It needs 100MW to be FULLY powered, the excess 88MW will be offloaded to the national grid. So, we have extra 88MW to cater to new industries and again the plant is upgradable to over 500MW.

Geometric is not waiting for gas. It already built a 27KM gas pipeline to supply it from Owaza.

It’s really a comic relief watching them exhibit their hate and bigotry for all Nigerians to see.

I’m really enjoying how they’re making a fool of themselves here😂😂

OfficialAPCNig:

You even have time for all these people. Their almight LAGOS has 6 IPP and all combined generate 47MW and these guys want to shame a city that is generating 188MW from a single plant and 9.5MW from another IPP.

Although it would have been better to ignore them considering how naive and ignorant they sound. However, the arrogance they exude even in mind-boggling idiocy ought to be punctured otherwise they will deceive gullible people.

Imagine that boy saying that IPP that uses gas (in one of the world’s most prolific gas regions) has become obsolete? Only large doses of hate and ignorance will cause this.

Putindbutt:

The only saving grace of Geometric was that he completed the project at the time electricity bill has already been passed. Lagos govt does not need to generate power itself, investors, communities, individuals, companies, tertiary institutions would do that. ignorant folks should pick up the bill and read.

Aba is already off the national grid and has become Nigeria’s first modern city to enjoy 24/7 power supply yet this boy said it’s not worth celebrating and in the same breath saying that Lagos will achieve same in the future😂😂

Only bigotry will make one to sound so foolish without even knowing 😂😂

I repeat, your ignorance is quite disturbing and you keep disgracing yourself and whatever you represent. So, an independent power plant that uses gas is not good enough? Gas Nigeria has in abundance, particularly Igboland? Do you know what it means to have an IPP in Aba and huge gas reservoirs just a few miles away? What other sort of power generation could be more viable than that?

You said no sensible state will use IPP now they have full control of power generation and distribution, so can you tell us what they would use? Please tell reasonable Nigerians what your states will build that won’t be IPP? If you fail to do that then you’re sick and should be totally ignored.

TopBanter:


IPP are not required anymore. Gerrit? Where do you see IPP being default electrification solution in nations of the world that had not boxed itself into a corner like Nigeria did with centrist government control of processes the FG should have deregulated decades ago to place in the hands of direct stakeholders and end-users i.e Nigerian States and people?


No sensible State will use IPP now that they have full control of generation, transmission and distribution of power which means they can devise comprehensive power solutions for a whole State instead of have cumbersome IPP schemes all over the place.

Just swallow your pride. IPP is not and cannot be in the mind of ambitious Nigerian States led by ambitious leaders given how the power sector is fully and completely deregulated today.

No wonder the country is dying and millions are totally hopeless. Imagine this one trying to justify why Dangote is importing crude oil from the United States?!

This country really deserve to be where it is now.

Spit!

ahaz:

Oga I have noticed that since the news of Aba power breakthrough came up you have lost sleep ever since, I will advice you to brazen up and write your will cos our achievements will definitely kill you before your time, take this from me.

Since any good news from Igboland gives them high BP, they should ready for untimely deaths because more good news are coming from the East. By the time Shell and Nestoil completes West Africa’s biggest gas production projects in Imo State they will be dead. At least the projects are worth more than anything in their states except no man’s land😂

Yet the $1 billion USD power generation investment by Geometric was made in Aba and not Lagos. Can’t you see the joke is on you?!

LegendHero:


Nonsense statistics that Nigerians project. Which GDP per capital? Where Abia or Aba wan see the GDP per capital? Which statistical agency talk the nonsense?

If you have a $1bn investment to make, where will you situate it? Aba or Lagos?

Which of the two states has the most purchasing power?

Another page filled with rubbish and no substance. After writing the trash, you couldn’t even provide any tangible evidence except a senseless analogy.

Okay, since IPP has become obsolete, can you tell Nigerians what replaced it?

Ignorant and crassly insecure lots that are always triggered even with things that doesn’t concern them. Hausas saw the post and remained calm because they’re not insecure. Same with the middle belt, SS etc but the perennial insecure ones jumped in and started pouring spit everywhere.

Is there anywhere they mentioned your tribe, region or states? Are you the only ones in Nigeria?

Pathetic and primitive people.

TopBanter:


You're a coward. I am one of those who took you to task for your misinformation, driven by your inferior complex and insecurity, so stop pretending to be a victim.

You hailed something as Nigeria's "saving grace" and I simply tride to tell you to tone down your ignorant megalomania and backtrack.

IPP today is as much a saving grace as the phone shown below has anything to teach an iPhone 15 or a Samsung S23 currently.

I don't know why you people lack humility so much. You offend by deliberately peddling misinformation so you can praise the ' messianic' capability of the Igbo man yet when corrected you begin to play victim of envy and bad belle from others.

When the DAWN commision identified the joint electrification of the SW as a gamechanger as far back as 2013 and Tinubu, in 2000, had already delivered a pacesetting IPP project, does it make sense any Yoruba will envy you people obsessed with celebrating mediocrity?

Just learn to curb your ignorant megalomania abeg.

Instead of making noise and writing trash, can you show one single private independent power plant in your region as significant as Geometric? Not even no man’s land has any despite the billions it is getting from Nigeria.

Barth Nnaji built a huge private power plant worth almost a billion dollars to provide 24/7 electricity to Aba only for slum dwellers to be crying.

Pathetic losers!

TopBanter:


Precisely. IPPs are virtually as old as our current democracy which began in 1999. Nothing new or innovative about them regardless of the core technology involved. The purpose is same i.e provide power generated independently of the Nigerian grid.

Yet trust the insecure people, who would even describe their poop as beautiful, to be making noise over what is now a model that will be obsolete soon.

The FG, under Buhari, enacted the electricity and railway Acts of 2023 that gully decentralised the operation of power and rail in Nigeria.

With that development, small IPPs are nothing to deploy or celebrate today, for 'up to speed'and informed folks, because they were for an era when States, industrial zones, extensive government administrative area (like Alausa) and even upscale residential estates sought to escape the inefficiency of the central power generation, transmission and distribution solution previously domiciled under the FG.

These people are simply insecure and suffering from inferiority complex thus prone to over-hyping even the most mundane development they are affiliated with.

Below is what the SW is now targeting after the 2023 full rail and power deregulation law was ratified by the Buhari government.

Too many people, because they know Nigerians never read, use grey areas to decieve and deliberately misinform Nigeria for their own ulterior motives.

Why would sensible folks be manufacturing 7 litre V8 vehicle when all is now in place to allow them utilise the option of producing self-charging electric vehicles instead?

Discrete IPP models are obsolete. I expect to see even middle income States innovatively using different financing options to deliver what the SW is chasing below at State or regional level.

Good news!!!

Abia State continues to win against all odds.

IGBOSON1:


A lot of Igbo are blissfully naive and ignorant about the capacity of these people to hate and work against Igbo economic as well as political interests! I have warned Ndigbo that we will never reach our full potential as a people sharing the same country with them....using our own human and natural resources to develop organically at our own pace and on a level playing field! They're now in control of Aso-Rock and, together with their northern allies, have not only been diverting a disproportionate amount of economic and political benefits to their region and people, but have also been working to undermine Igbo interests as well! GEJ giving Ndigbo a seat at the table they've sat at from the late 60s to date, and this is one of the reasons they despised him so much and were desperate to get rid of him!

The moment i saw the topic of the thread, i knew exactly the people that will have a problem with it and give it traction....arguing back-and-forth! You can never try to sell economic opportunities Aba has to offer to investors without these insecure people feeling threatened! Try to ignore them!

Honestly, the situation is as disgusting as it is pathetic. I never mentioned them, their states or region. But only explained facts about how Geometric could help local industries survive and thrive. Yet these same people took it personal and became so angry. Talk about seaport or international airport in the East, these same people will start crying again. Talk about politics, the same thing!

Something is really wrong with these people. You can’t have this amount of hate for others and be normal. This is beyond witchcraft and Igbos should really be wary of them.

AroOkigbo:
I feel for business owners.
Imagine running your business on diesel

Any smart manufacturer now should be planning on how to relocate their plant to Aba now. Anyone that allows their brand to go extinct when they have viable alternative in Aba will only have themselves to blame.

Putindbutt:

Caanaland and Redemption camp are not generating for profit and both are turbine-powered, go and verify. Geometric power is generating power for profit purpose, that's the difference. many industrial clusters are on IPP too, small boy.

Your ignorance is quite disturbing. You compare a few megawatts generated by churches using big generating sets to a huge power plant like Geometric?

Geometric is going to power an entire city complete with modern transmission lines and metering. Thousands of small scale businesses and artisans are going to work efficiently and optimally. Medium and big industries will focus on production without bothering about energy supply. Yet this ignorant boy is here comparing Geometric with mushroom ones built by churches to serve a few houses and their crusade grounds? What is the impact of those religious activities to the economy or GDP?

Dumbos with primitive mentality.

I don't really know what you guys gain from malicious lies? The kind of wickedness and evil in this country is just terrible.
When you can't compete with the Igbos, you start singing malicious songs of Igbos are not accommodating.
Abia state will be the next Asian giant and there is nothing anyone can do about it
Your tribe's big men are already thinking of investing in Abua state and you are here doing childish games.
I don't think you are from the western part of the country. Majority of the trolling monikers that usually add any particular tribal words in their monikers are always fake people.
Your aim is to create irrelevant and primitive arguments amongst fellow Nigerians.
Nigerians should be careful when joining issues with these kind of people.
Anyone that always looks for avenue to cause crises amongst the three big major tribes is not of Nigerian origin or just a paid nonentity.

Lol, don’t mind them, it’s always the usual suspects. Anything that indicates progress for the East or Igbo people always have them foaming in the mouth. It’s really pathetic how we pretend to be one country yet certain sections of the country would rather see Ghana or Togo develop than another section of their country.

Pathetic losers!

Putindbutt:

Canaan land Ota generates 15MW for itself, Redemption camp generates 10MW, no be say Aba is the first to do this na, why the noise?. With the new electricity bill, your community, my community can even generate their own electricity themselves, go and read the bill.

Lol, Canaan land generating 15mw or redemption camp generating 10mw for themselves can’t be compared with what Geometric is doing in Aba. Using big generators to power a neighborhood is different. How sustainable and cheap is that in the long run? How impactful is that to the GDP? Mind you, Ariaria already has similar dedicated power plant that has been running since but it would be stupid to compare its effect or significance to Geometric.

If you think raising close to $1 billion USD & the local expertise to go with it in building such project is easy, then what stops your states from replicating Geometric?

Gosh, you guys should stop being insecure. A post advertising Aba without mentioning them yet they’re all over the place showing their insecurity.

Spit!

LegendHero:


Lol imagine you a poor boy calling someone hungry.

Whats with you broke people and penchant for brokeshaming people and projecting your reality on them?

Firstly, you lack the ability to read and comprehend effectively. I said he is PROBABLY hungry (the use of probable means I didn’t categorically call him hungry). There is still a chance he could be among the very few Nigerians who aren’t hungry and dejected.

You’ve been literally living here in Nairaland perpetually. So, I can inferentially say you’re jobless, unemployed or underemployed. In other words, you’re definitely poor and hungry.

If I’m poor and broke as you claim, I won’t afford to be globetrotting at the moment. Paying for flights & hotel is not something broke people can afford. FYI, I’m not sharing in your misery and Tinubu maladministration😂.

Putindbutt:
This one is smoking Aba weed, electricity has been decentralised, each state will soon begin to generate its own power, what's the big deal in Aba with that small 188MW?. Even now, some industrial clusters have IPP that provides them with electricity.

Ignorance is a disease. 188MW is small for a single city Yet Nigeria with so many cities, hundreds of towns & thousands of villages is still struggling with 3000MW? When you remove the MW given to airports & some others to Niger & Benin, how many is left to share among 200 million people??

Yet you think a single city having 188mw to itself alone is not significant enough?


Haters and bigots will never have peace.

LegendHero:
Na only for Nairaland we dey hear 24/7 power in Abia.

All people living in Abia are saying there is no 24/7 light in Abia anywhere. Infact them dey para for Twitter say they are deceived.

But seems some people said Geometric never power everything say them dey await gas or something.

It seems people on line 33kva are the one with 24/7 and I know other states also enjoy constant light for people on that line.

Lol, were you expecting every home in Aba to start enjoying 24 hours power supply at once? You don’t think Geometric will happen to complete the logistics of metering and all that to ensure efficient and effective billing?

The fact that Geometric already stated they have excess capacity and is looking to sell some of their generated electricity to the national grid or expand beyond 7/9 LGA’s should tell you that everyone enjoying 24/7 electricity is only a matter of time.

9japride:
[color=#006600][/color]

That person you quoted is either a primitive child or a paid agent used to ensure youths never unite in Nigeria.
A sensible person will start thinking of investment in Abia state.

It’s really sad how hate and bigotry has eaten so deep into them. That dude is probably hungry and hopeless but will rather expend his energy to hate on others.

They forget that the basic reason naira continues to crash against the dollar is because Nigeria is producing next to nothing. How can Vietnam that has land borders with China be producing almost everything they need locally yet Nigeria that is thousands of miles and oceans away keep complaining of cheap Chinese imports?

Now that Aba has come to help Nigeria overcome this existential problem, some primitive bigots are still hating??!!!!

stonemasonn:
Is land available(in acres)?

Yes, land is very much available for any size of factory/manufacturing. There vast lands in existing industrial estates like Osisioma, Alaoji or Eziama etc. You can also get lands of any size in the outskirts of the city.

Ola9ja23:
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why not go and drag the investors from Ogun state 🤣🤣😂😂


You think investment is just about electricity?

The Nzogbu Nzogbu people of dot in a circle republic is not accommodating

Sorry, everything is not about tribalism. Dunlop and Michelin left Nigeria for Ghana because they had 24/7 power supply. Same with other brands. But thank God for Geometric, such won’t happen again. Instead, they will move to Aba and Nigeria wins while tribal bigots sulk.

Instead of investors anywhere in Nigeria to go bankrupt or watch their brand go extinct, they will smartly move their production to Aba and maintain their warehouse or office anywhere they like. They need Aba more than Aba needs them!!!
