Yewandequeen:Opobo town is the first town to be surveyed in west Africa, the first port town in nigeria, u see houses especially upstairs that v lasted for over 300ears, the people are most educated and enlightened in the niger delta and one of the most educated groups ion nigeria. In most island communities, the government have not brought in the national grid due to the topography so the rather use heavy generators and turbines to power the towns, the whole community is electrified but yet to join the national grid. Mostly the street lights are on every night and 3-4 days a week,the town enjoys steady light from the heavy gas turbin stations. In bonny it's same thing,bonny is not connected to the national grid but uses gas turbine and generators. Opobo Town is the most ancient and developed beautiful island in nigeria.want to visit? Road trip is coming 1 Like |

skukimania:There is electricity in the whole town! In the pictures can't u see the electric poles? because the town is located in the middle of ocean it's difficult to link it to national grid so the use a saperate big gen and a turbine! The street light is on every night and the town enjoys light from the turbine more than some areas in nigeria using nepa light 1 Like |

More pictures! Fine people, inter married with Europeans, structured very well. Lots of communities in nigeria can't boast of having a 100yrs written history or having any form of school back to 100yrs ago but here is a kingdom that can boast of having the earliest form of educational institute of 300yrs ago or there about

Culture this, tradition that, yet the people don't have electricity. This is so lame and silly! Tradition that keep people in bondage and slavery. I was even hoping to read how successful the people there are and how developed the place is, only to read they do not have electricity. I am sure they also lack many other amenities too. Idea passed on by one archaic man due to personal experience and feels that continues to trend even in this century. They don't make noise at night but they use generator sets at night.....lols The most disturbing noise at night is noise from those aging gens. |

Rebuke:Pls I will like u to tell us where u are from! Name of ur village so we all can compare how developed it is compared to Opobo town! I bet u, u r so very ignorant! Opobo town has more successful people than ur LGA as a whole not even ur village. Learn to be humble |
