Imo state is an oil rich state in SE political zone of Nigeria. The state habours oil deposit in places like:Egbema,Ohaji,Oguta,Ifakala,Owamamma,Obowo,Owerri municipal,Oru east,oru west,Ngor okpala etc. Crude oil in this aforementioned locations have been proven to be in commercial quantity,but it is so pathetic that crude oil exploration in Imo state has been streamlined to 2 locations(Egbema and Oguta) thereby reducing the 13 percent derivation of Imo state.

Nawa ooo

If only the oil rich communities can deny their IGBONESS,they government may look into it...hahahaha......In the voice of Nnamdi Kanu ''welcome to the zoo!''

Imo State only produces oil in 2 LGAs. Rivers State on the other hand produces in all LGAs. This is same with Bayelsa.

l see nothing pathetic that exploration is not going on in those other areas, what do we stand to gain? Environmental-wise, see how oil companies have messed up the Niger delta region and l feel the pains of those host communities. l am from the Obowo side and any exploration there will in the long run pollute the Abadaba lake and Aham River, would make youths become lazier as the sense of entitlement creeps in.

We should look beyond crude oil, Imo State is 5,530 km2 while Singapore is 714.3km2 which is about 15% of Imo state and has no natural resources but far ahead of us in terms of development in all ramifications. This fact, should provoke us to think deep.

God bless you my brother.

I wonder why Imo people are calling for more oil exploration and exploitation in Igboland.

Igbos youths are not acting any smart again, after all these exploration it will be shared by hausa/fulani yet you keep talking that Nigeria is shortchanging you.

Igbos shouldn't allow outsiders to exploit their mineral resources unless we want life expectancy in igboland to drop by half, environmental degradation will be very common.

An Igbo company exploiting minerals in Igboland will treat the indegenes better than hausa or yoruba company doing the same in igboland.

Check many countries in this world the wise ones rarely allow foreigners to lay hand on their minerals but they can invest in manufacturing.

We should be very cautious of allowing foreigners into our land.
If there are other LGs with oil in Imo state let's sit ontop it and stop giving to Nigeria, let's be stingy and stop being father christmas
