How Northerners Hijacked Niger Delta Oil Resources And PIB Bill by Nobody: 5:14am On Jul 20, 2021
Despite, not having a single drop of oil, majority of oil blocks awarded to indigenous Nigerians are owned by Northerners courtesy of holding power during the reign of Shagari,IBB,Abacha and Abdusalami.

Ita Enang, the former Chairman, Senate Committee on Rules and Business previously advocated equitable distribution of oil bloc licences in the country.

Mr Enang claimed 83 percent of the nation’s oil blocs are owned by people from the North of Nigeria.

And now in the recently passed PIB bill the interests of the Niger Delta has been jettisoned in favour of the north. With host communities receiving a paltry 3% and 30% of profits going to exploration of Frontier Basins in the north.

Out of the 3% going to host communities , a clause was smuggled in that any community that has a pipeline passing through it will also be regarded as a host community. Which means out of the paltry 3%, the amount will be shared between Niger Delta and northern communities that have oil pipelines pass through them.

You know what’s most mind shattering about this PIB issue?

It’s the fact that no one, nobody, no one one has come out to refute the 30% for oil exploration in the North from the proceeds of Niger Delta resources.

Nobody has come out to say there’s no such clause in the bill or that there actually is, but so so so. None!

So the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad boöhari, Abubakar Malami, Mele Kyari, Boss Mustapha and other fulani leaders connived to steal billions of dollars from Niger Delta through PIB and Nigerians are still debating on the internet while the plot of the daylight robbery is on its way to being promulgated as law.


Something has to be done, if I were a lawmaker, I would rather lose my seat than see that happen.

The Minister of Petroleum/President can't wait to sign it into law.

They will now be at peace knowing even if power goes to the south in 2023 they will still receive 30% of Niger Delta profits indefinitely under the guise of "Frontier Exploration". All the contracts will go the northern elite under budget line 'operational and capital expenditure'.

Our southern leaders should be blame. The head of the Constitutional committee is from Delta State (Omo Agege), what did he do? My own is that the 30% allocated for d north will end up in the pocket of those Northerners.

Are you sure the north hijacked it? Yet GEJ was in power for 7 years and was so weak to implement the PIB.

North didn't hijack the PIB, they simply saw a loophole and took advantage of it. The north whether we like it can claim ownership to the oil in the Niger-Delta. Didn't you hear it was their groundnut money they use to fund oil exploration in the 50's?

Was it not Ijaw leaders, men like Dappa Biriye of Finima and Adaka-Boro of Okpokuma-Kolokuma that sold the Niger-Delta to the north. While Biriye Niger Delta Congress (NDC) was an ally to the north, Adaka Boro became the militant arm used by Ahmadu Bello / Balewa to instigate crisis in the old east. Infact Boro called Tafawa Balewa the protector of the e Ijaws and went on rampage as soon as the 1st coup took a swipe on northen led government.

Look at how members of the community in Niger Delta are living. Why does IBB in-law,Indimi, have several oil blocks, what was his qualification?Why did Deribe of Borno state get awarded several oil blocks?

Please show the world where it was written that 30% of oil revenue will be given to the north

Please read the article well before soreading lies.

In the bills there was no mention of the basins or the 30% is for oil exploration( to find more oil) in any basins in Nigeria.

Is the bill buhari? Is buhari the Nigerian upstream regulatory commission. Before you post lies from online newspapers, try to read the real content of the bill or find for the analysis before concluding.


The passed bill did not give a specific definition of the frontier basin — but stated that the definition and scope will be issued by the Commission — the Nigerian Upstream Regulatory Commission.

Frontier exploration is the process of exploring hydrocarbons (the exploration of crude oil, natural gas, coal, and other energy sources) in the inland basins.

The inland basins consist of the Anambra basin, the lower, middle, and upper Benue trough, the southeastern sector of the Chad basin, the mid-Niger (Bida) basin, and the Sokoto basin.

Arewa Boys are already ordering their next set of Bugatti's,Ferrari's and Lamborghini once the current PIB Bill is passed into law. All Niger Delta stakeholders have rejected the contents of the PIB bill.

You are now gas lighting when you know you are spreading lies because of your ignorance.

The PIB has already been passed by both houses remaining the president signature.

The niger delta are the main beneficiaries of these bill.

1. Every community in the niger delta has about 3% of profit from the oil revenue.
2. There is also fund for cleaning which will also create jobs for tge local communities.

Stop spreading lies. Read the bill and stop blaming any arewa.

Niger delta has 13% of oil revenue, has nddc, what development has all these brought to the region.

Why has every single Niger Delta leader rejected the bill? No single person in Niger Delta even at Councillor level at Local Government has approved the PIB bill that is barefaced robbery.

They only rejected the bills because the 5% share for communities wasnt approved. That was their main anger.

It has been rejected by the owners of the oil wells the Niger DeltaN. You think elder statesman Edwin Clark that is over 90 years old doesn't know the implication of the 30% profits he rejected to be used for Frontier Basins, those clowns think NIger Deltans are stupid and they can pull wool over their eyes.

Show me one single Niger Deltan that approved of the bill in the current form.

Everyone know that the 30% profit that will be used for oil exploration is a good thing.


I am tired of arguing with ignorant people, take the bill and read and stop reading garbage from the front of newspapers looking for traffic.
