Aba was first disconnected, nothing happened, but

It took one day to reverse the disconnected discos, because Kaduna and Kano were disconnected yesterday?

Nigeria?

Instead of moaning about some imagined discrimination, shouldn't you be asking why the discos have refused to pay their bills? You do realize that the electricity they generate isn't free, and both the Gencos and TCN need to be able to cover their costs to stay in operation.

The real travesty here isn't that some discos were cut off for longer than others, but that any of these deadbeat firms were reconnected and given an additional "grace" period in which they can continue to freely rack up debts. It's precisely because of this sort of financially reckless "leniency" that Nigeria's power sector has stagnated for decades now. If TCN were fully privatized and allowed to freely deal with customers as it saw fit, all of Aba, Kaduna and Kano would be allowed to sit in darkness for as long as was necessary for their discos to get their acts together - and start dealing with their own deadbeat customers and those who outright steal power - and paid up in full. No capital-intensive industry can stay afloat with so much bad debt left to float around indefinitely.

The injustice is you refuse to pay your bill but have expectation that you will continue to receive service. Nigerian.

Chances are Aba played I don’t care but Kano kaduna made promises to redeem their debt.

That is why God is not answering your senseless prayer and karma is not applicable. A lot of senseless and irresponsible Nigerians cannot survive abroad because of this kind of thinking.

This is to show that Igboland is is ruled by animals.

Parachoko:
Why are you people not complaining about it?

I even thought Aba Electricity has been reconnected because nobody is talking about the issue

I created several topics on it but they didn't move it to front-page.

MadamExcellency:


Why should Aba alone have its own Electricity distribution company alone supplied from TCN when the city also has a private Geometric Power Station with 140 Mwatts serving the city alone?

There is definitely something in that Aba that Nigerians don't know.

Geometric is not generating any power yet. They are buying power from TCN.

Ododoeye0020:

Always crying victim

But it's a statement of fact

They are all "Disco" dancer

People uses power and pay

That payments can't b ed for

So the people are disconnected.

Geometric Power is has not started power generation.

DesChyko:
Nice.

How about they publish what they are owing so certain people can be held able to the nearest figure.

is it a private company?
Na Abia get am?

There is a lot of confusion in the Nigerian power sector. The NEPA was privated which later produced eleven DISCOS with 40 percent government stake.
The situation now is the masses could not afford to settle thier bills because of low income economic environment. Which in turn the DISCOS resorts to cutting energy supply to the masses to reduce lost in revenue generation. The reality is energy is no longer affordable to the majority because it's very costly to produce by the generation companies. The government avoid taking responsibility for the energy sector and then went for privatisation and the energy can not be afforded by the masses.

Thanksful:

You already read the why on this post same why that kaduna and Kano was disconnected but Aba was disconnected 29days ago and just one day Kaduna and Kano was disconnected, the minister have to look into it having ignored Aba for 28days

Please can you provide us with the time Aba was disconnected and why?

TCN deserves the right to. NBET must be met and every disco should rise up and deliver by minimising the collection losses to the bearest minimum.
Most advanced countries have moved on from collection losses

It's not hidden ok, there is money in Aba. Aba alone have more First bank branches than some states in Nigeria (commercial banks are fully profit making and not a charitable organization.)

Aba is producing most of the clothes Nigerian use, no one in Aba goes outside of Aba to sow clothes but others come to Aba.

Lastly, from 2015 till date, Osibanjo visited Aba more on SME's more than any other part of South East. Abia State have always had bad leaders from kalu to ikpeazu but i believe that Otti will do better.

Some will still wail…,
You thinking your tired of this one Nigeria is not u alone oo

We too we’re tired

Kaduna was not disconnected yesterday,get your facts right and don't be sentimental about everything.We have being suffering power outage in Kaduna,never know it this bad.

MasterJayJay:

So what has happened to their own plant? What were they fighting for the rights for then. Confused people. Nigeria is really Jaga,Jaga.

They promised they will start generating power by July this year. Make we dey observe them.

But it should be noted that Geometric was in legal battle with EEDC on the license that covers Aba ringed fenced area. It was last year that it was resolved. And Aba power, a subsidiary of geometric took over Aba area.

You're more dangerous than Eve! Seeing truth and covering it with basket.

nony43:
Geo metrics in Aba was disconnected about a month ago. They disconnected Kaduna and Kano just for one day and all of a sudden something called grace.

They were disconnected for 10 days. Not a month ago.

Obi2saveNigeria:
Nigeria is dying a natural death but you all keep deceiving yourselves. I have checked all indeces, made analysis, extrapolated and projected forwards, and all I can see is a dead end.

Peter Obi probably could have have helped to reengineer the country but that opportunity was missed. Instead what should have been a rallying moment turned into a disaster.

Charles Darwin's theory is playing out on Nigeria and you can't save something that can't be saved.

Go and reengineer iboland and stop disturbing us.
Iboland is the most backward since the days of regional government

erico2k2:

TCN should press on Prepaid meters instead of all these child's play. Then it would be easy for them to monitor who pays who

Do you think TCN supply to individual houses?
Those who bought electricity from TCN know how much they're owing.

They're only playing victims unnecessarily.

Ododoeye0020:

Did he lie

nony43:






He is right.

Aba residence are not important to abia governor,am very sure that kano and kaduna govt must have made some moves to restore power to their people,was it not same Abia gov that said his people don't need roads because they don't have cars?

Dozie32:

It’s been more than ten days.

Kk

Stop talking rubbish. You want people to pay for darkness. We are the ones that wired our communities. We bought Transformers, high tension wires, poles with our hard earned money.
After all these they can not give people light. Then you now expect people to pay for service not rendered.

Lol...Aba people please stop acting as if Nigeria or TCN is against you. I stay in Kaduna and for the past 1 week there have been no electricity supply. They just on the light today. Stop playing the victim all the time. We are all in this Nigeria.
