[/b]---some excerpts from the link: Supporters of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) pushed their case further yesterday at the Senate, with startling facts on the sector. Senator Ita Enang (Akwa Ibom North East) described the opposition to the 10 per cent host community fund by mostly northern senators as “misplaced”. Enang, who is also the Chairman, Senate Committee on Rules and Business, said that those opposed to the fund should know that over 83 per cent of oil blocks are owned by northerners. But he did not give the number of oil blocks Nigeria has. Senate President David Mark, who seemed to have been shocked by what Enang said, said the Akwa Ibom lawmaker should not be distracted (some senators were grumbling) because he was making an important point. Mark asked Enang whether he could substantiate his claim. Enang promptly pulled out a document from his folder and reeled out oil blocs and their owners. He said he did not intend to divide the country but to guide those who wanted to contribute to the debate to be truly informed. He listed northerners who own oil blocks to include Alhaji Mai Deribe, Borno State and owner of Cavendish Petroleum, which operates OML 110 with an average of about N4billion monthly. He also listed Seplat/Platform Petroleum, operators of the ASUOKPU/UMUTU Marginal Field with Mallam (Prince) Sanusi Lamido, Kano , as a major shareholder and director. South Atlantic Petroleum Limited (SAPETRO) established by General T. Y. Danjuma, Taraba State , who is also chairman of Eni Nigeria Limited. SAPETRO partnered with Total Upstream Nigeria Limited (TUPNI) and Brasoil Oil Services Company Nigeria Limited to become operators of the OPL 246. AMNI International Petroleum and Development Company is owned by Alhaji (Colonel) Sani Bello of Kontangora , Niger State. “They are operators of OML 112 and OML 117,” he said. He said that a former Petroleum Minister and former OPEC Chairman, Rilwanu Lukman, another northerner manages AMNI oil blocks “with very key interest in the NNPC/Vitol trading deal.” He said that Oriental Energy Resources Limited, a company owned by Alhaji Indimi, runs three oil blocks – OML 115, the Oldwok field and the Ebok field. He said that Alhaji Aminu Dantata’s Express Petroleum and Gas Limited, operates OML 108. Enang said that OML 113 allocated to Yinka Folawiyo Petroleum Limited is owned by Alhaji W.I. Folawiyo. Alhaji Saleh Mohammed Gambo, North East Petroleum Limited, is the holder of the OPL 215 Licence. North East Petroleum was awarded blocs OPL 276 and OPL 283 and closing thereupon a Joint Venture Agreement with Centrica Resources Nigeria Limited and CCC Oil and Gas. He said that INTEL is owned by former Vice President Atiku, the late Gen. Shehu Musa Yar’Adua and Ado Bayero. It has substantial stakes in Nigeria ’s oil exploration industry both in Nigeria and Sao Tome and Principe . He said that Mike Adenuga’s Conoil is the oldest indigenous oil exploration company with six blocks. OPL 291 was awarded to Starcrest Energy Nigeria Limited, owned by Emeka Offor, which was sold to Addax Petroleum. Enang urged the Senate to cause the immediate revocation of all oil blocks licences and their redistribution, in accordance with the Federal Character Principle. |

The most unfortunate thing is that thread like this don't EVER make it to the front page. I just hope senator Ita Enang will rally his fellow senators from the so called 'SS' to rid these theiving abokis off their oil blocks. Imagine some desert-dwelling goon owning an oil block in the SS? Nonsense! 12 Likes |

We need more fearless and outspoken legislators like senetor Ita Enang in Nigeria who always speak out the truth without fear or favour. This is why I prefer new breed politicians in Nigeria who will be more courageous to speak on burning issues and not all those old recycled politicians who only remain in politics to cover their dirty past tracks with that of their associates. Mr President should revoke all oil well licences and share it using national character principle. The northerners have always cheated other parts of Nigeria right from time. 14 Likes |

The man refused to provide the number of oil blocs the country has, yet he claimed Northerners own 80% of Nigerian oil blocks - freaking joker!! It's all politics!! At the end of the day, the "Northerners" who allegedly own all the oil blocs share their loot with their southern comrades in the same looters' gang... They're basically the same just fighting to cling on to power by any means necessary... Perhaps, that's why they're flooding everywhere with accusations and counter-accusations... Birds of a feather!! It shouldn't really be about North vs. South per se, it should be RICH vs. POOR... These elites are the ones dividing the country with their selfish interests - and I bet you they all hang out together after flooding the media with their crap accusations... Who are they fooling, to be honest?? 17 Likes |

Even if they revoke all the licenses, it's still going to be business as usual... Just a few southern elites getting richer, and the rest of the country would still be in abject poverty... The most logical thing to do is to nationalise the oil... However, with the level of corruption in Nigeria, that would also be problematic as well... So, it's basically a lose lose situation no matter how you look at it because the system itself is messed up... May God help Nigeria!! ![]() 12 Likes |

see more proof that northerners are richer than other Nigerians https://www.nairaland.com/1199280/northerners-richer-than-all-other#14373185 i have been arguing lately with my friends about this topic, and i believed that the southerners are richer, until one of us came out with a vital data about the wealth of the Northerners. 1 The police pension DG is worth N23b Nigeria 2 Alhaji Abdulrashid Maina is worth N88b 3 IBB is worth over $2billion 4 Abacha is worth over $3Billion 5 Dangote is worth over $12b as the Richest African 4 Ishaiku Rabiu and sons are worth over $5b 6 Dantata is worth over $1b The most critical of the data goes this way 7 the North has more LGA's infact Kano alone has 44 LGA's and so the North Receives more Allocation for development 8 The North Has more people in the federal civil service and so they earn more salaries 9 The North has more Men in Army,Navy,Airforce,Police, Immigration,customs and Other Federal parastatals due to quota system and so earn more salary. 10 They have more senators and House of Reps and therefore Get more constituency Money,Bribery etc 11 they have more politicians and so more money for them... 12 they own 83% of oil blocs in Nigeria 39 Likes |
