Haiti has gone beyond failed state...!

Haiti urgently needs to be recolonized.

Recolonized by whom?, by those who plundered, stole their wealth and left them improvished?. You don't understand history.

A once wealthy nation turned the filthiest of rags, all thanks to the european supremacists.

Yoruba people did the same to GRV..

So, una sabi emilokan politics in edo, where una keep una "LP from top to bottom"?. na hypocrisy go wounjure una. Edo don be Lagos now?

So, this one is not propaganda, i didn't see them call it propaganda or say anything negative about it but let it be a similar news from FG, you'd see enemies of the state wailing. Na India got the contract to develop Eyimba Economic City and about 76 india companies already got the rights of first refusal to set up there...make i no talk wetin dey my mind.

The bill was passed by Buhari, almost a year ago. What are the investors waiting for?

9th senate under Buhari never passed it, Tinubu came in, made a few changes to the bill, signed it and sent it to the senate who then passed it into law. so, it wasn't up to a year, probably 3-4months. Anybody can now generate power including universities, communities, individuals, etc. It is left to state government to create boards/commission that would regulate power in their respective states.

So what's stops you from generating in large quantity for profit? So you don't need electricity to pump the bore hole wey NDDC out for your hamlet abi? Why all this envy for God sake? If it's not a big deal on naira land it's a big deal all over and every known media outlet ran all manner of televised discuss on this and are all having this move so opinions of some non entities like you on maraland gossiping and hating like frustrated women in an a polygamous marriage will not stop the fact that ABA has made history, you can go hang your worthless self.

Mr. illiterate, the lincenses they had was for religious purposes not for commercial. There are many industrial clusters running on IPPs, so make una rest.

Google Amaraku Power Station and cure your ignorance(I doubt). When this was executed somebody was in far away Chicago with marks of white chalk on his nose.

Built by indigenous engineers. Not Chinko.

Lamba!

ahaz:
Ooh it's not a big deal? So what is stopping Sound, Oyo, Ekiti, Ogun and kwara from getting theirs, ooh sorry I forgot Kwara has being snatched from you people..eehe, what is stopping your primitive enclaves from bulding even just 59mw of a generating station..envious souls.

Your ignorance is appalling, in the past, every power generated goes to the national grid, so no state was encouraged to generate its own power but with the new bill, things have changed. if the new bill had not been signed, Geometric would have transfered it to national grid.

igwebuike01:
I just de laugh your people. South South can't even managed the pH distribution company but EEDC is making huge profits next after Lagos. The east don't really fancy this "rich state" mentality because it impoverish the masses

No wonder, na "poor state" mentality dey affect una so.

TopBanter, pls educate these guys, they argue with too much ignorance.

a4cube:
The first IPP in a Nigeria was In IMO STATE.

Another lamba. Give us full information.

igwebuike01:
Glorified generators. We are talking about citywide power plant with its own DISCO.
You are talking about generators that do changeover when NEPA take light

Respect your elders, people have been generating power independently before you, SE dey follow.

igwebuike01:
You expect? Okay. We already moved 20 years ahead. Extracting the agreement from FG when it was not yet a general law. You can crawl behind

A law that has already been signed is not yet general law?. You guys made a mistake coming to Nairaland, na for here we go dey expose una mental weakness.

igwebuike01:
He will be starting with one turbine that generates 42 megawats. This is already greater than the 25mw they get from the national grid. At full capacity of 188 they will be having surplus because the electricity need is 100mw at the moment

Lol, keep quiet, its total capacity is 188MW. Talking as if you dey beer parlour.

igwebuike01:
You clearly don't understand the Aba ring fence, the only one in Nigeria at the moment

You made a mistake, it is the only one in Africa.

LegendHero:
The guy no know say many IPP dey Naija wella, even for all those Agbada them dey wella.

These guys from the east are very ignorant, we keep educating them but they would never learn. They've never heard of IPP before.

proeast:
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.

Lol, ontop 188MW for only 7 LG. I told you Caanaland is turbine powered. If these churhes need, they'd have got lincense & generate more to sell to various communities. There are industrial clusters with IPP. There's nothing special in Geometric, people have been generating power before you.

proeast:
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?


Spit!

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.

proeast:
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.

There's no excess anywhere, all the capacity is 188MW. Guy stop lying.

proeast:
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.

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.

LegendHero:
Yea 188MW small somwhow to service massive industries but if he can at least service residential areas with 24/7, it’ll be nice.

But the problem he might have is people paying for the actual light because without subsidy, only few can afford paying for the 24/7 especially considering the fact that Abia people purchasing power go low small compared to other major cities.

But let’s see. I pray it work fine coz if people are being taken away from the national grid, it’ll be beneficial for Nigeria on the long run.

His headline is funny to me, maybe he doesn't know we're talking about 188MW, and he's saying every manufacturer should relocate there, that small power will collapse. Since FG has since electricity bill into law, i expect more investors to set up power plants in any state of interest pretty soon.

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

None of the turbine has been turned on yet, still waiting for gas and money for the gas supply is heavy hence the delay. Besides, the 188MW is only serving 7 LGs and will start with 14hrs light. this guy wants every companies to come and sit down with 188MW, how many can that serve?

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.

Funkyswagzz:
Read what I added I know you don't understand economics

Mr. illiterate, i'm not arguing with you, ask the markerters to go import their own fuel and sell it to make profit, better still, you can go obtain lincense and import fuel yourself, make profits and put FG to shame.

Funkyswagzz:
See them people that don't understand what is going on except tribalism

You don't understand shit except propaganda, that's the remote button that makes you happy.

Wailers on overdrive, they don't have anything to wail about again, they have gone back to propping up subsidy propaganda. If you know FG is paying subsidy, pls prove it, go and import your fuel and sell it at your own price , so we can belive you. Tell these marketers that the subsidy money they are looking for is gone! Thieves.

Obinoscopy:
lol...I see what you are doing. You just want to troll. You are hereby ignored.

I have concluded that you're an iliterate, an illiterate that thinks NNPC or Ministry of Finance are responsible for monetary stability. shiorr

Obinoscopy:
You can certainly engage in conversation without insults, can you? If you can't, I'm sorry I can't help you with that.

To the topic, I never mentioned CBN or Cardoso. I said "government". CBN, Cardoso, NNPCL, Ministry of Finance, etc are all part of the government. None of them are vestiges, they are all very crucial part of the executive arm of this government and any action they take is an executive action on behalf of the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

See link below as well:

Your problem is either English or limited understanding. Let me break it down for you like pry sch kid. We have FX scarcity which is affecting naira-dollar rate. Instead of going to CBN to demand for dollars, NNPCL decided to approach Afrexim for dollar, Ministry of Finance also decided to go to World bank for dollars so that there would be relief on the pressure of dollar on CBN. Nobody is borrowing to defend the naira. Hope you learnt something new.

Obinoscopy:
If you didn't know that the Government borrows money to stabilize the naira you are on a long thing.

https://www.thecable.ng/breaking-nnpc-secures-3bn-loan-to-stabilise-the-naira

Cash for crude loan!
No matter the school you went to, if you can't use the brain, you'd still sound like an illiterate. From the link, who borrowed money, NNPCL or CBN?, does it say CBN borrowed money to stabilize naira?. if NNPCL who is the sole importer of fuel and who needs billions of dollars monthly to import fuel deemed it fit to borrow money for its purposes rather than scramble for scarce dollars in the system help reduce dollar demand and stabilize FX, is there anything wrong in that?. when refineries start working and there's no more need to demand dollars to bring in fuel, would CBN not have enough dollars to improve the economy?. I thought you would provide a source where Cardoso was borrowing to defend the naira. Anyways na your problem be dat, ignorance is bliss.

SmellingAnus:
Lol... Misleading headline.. first of all the headline makes it look as if Rufai accused the Governor of lying.... Secondly I don't see anywhere the Governor lied .. Instead he said he doesn't have proof/evidence that the former Governor made payment to the power company...

Otti is a lair, was he not given handover notes by the outgone administration?, why couldn't he ask his commissioner for finance for the documents before coming out in the public?. Otti has an ulterior motive, wanting to take glory for another man's labour and the people commending him are the most ignorant people.

Obinoscopy:
What happens when that money that was borrowed is exhaused? Borrow more money? And then when that one is exhausted what happens? Back to square one?

Which money was borrowed?, you don't understand monetary conditions, you dey here dey cap nonsense and this one was once a moderator, smh

Achuwa1:
You mean the lagos tht was built with oil money from the south south and gas money from the south east..

Gas money from southeast?, ipob clown. Which gas did you have in southeast in the 70s,80s,90s to develop Lagos?. Because FG discovered a cup of gas in Imo in 2020, u no go allow us hear word again.
