Noisemaking. Did they also curve out Lagos state from Rivers?


Looking at the map, I can now understand why Ibos want the forced SS/SE relationship and their renewed claim on Ijawlands.

Better go and return Kogi's oil!

Abagworo:
My take is that to determine the actual oil inside the States territory, then offshore should be excluded. It is out of place to assign oilfields located outside Nigerian shore to littoral States. Those who supported it erred and it is what led to extreme poverty in the North. All offshore oil belongs to FG while States lay claim to ones within their land boundaries.

seunmsg:



Your proposal is the best if we are to consider national interest but state and ethnic interest will never allow this to happen. In fact, the onshore/offshore dichotomy bill was a major point of campaign in the 2003 presidential election. If we go by your advice, a state like Akwa Ibom will immediately cease to be an oil producing state just like Cross River. They will never allow this to happen.

Ondo state became an oil producing state through rogue boundary adjustment perpetrated during the regime of olusegun obasanjo.
Niger delta should continue to play dumbness and stupidity.
The same obasanjo wanted to take gas from brass to OK lng until Jonathan miraculously stepped in to power.
This is the real reason why yorubas never forgave Jonathan.

Bitumen Corporation (a German company) was the first company to explore crude oil in Nigeria as far back as 1908 when traces of it was found at Araromi in the present Ondo state. This pioneering exploration was brief due to the World War 1 (1914 – 1918). But, in 1937 Shell started exploratory activities after been awarded the sole concession rights that covered the whole territory of Nigeria.

Are you people these dumb?
Are UAE, mexico, Malaysia great nations?

No great nation got industrialised with an oil economy. No emerging great nation is getting industrialized with an oil economy.

olodo ... That's because Chinese go everywhere to explore and invest.. and not become leeches on its host..

Going by your logic, Nigeria has its citizens in every country of the world, how come Nigeria is not as developed as China ?

And to think that you cannot use ccommon sense to differentiate between migration as result of economic, social, environmental hardship to migration as a result of sharing expertise or expanding your businesses..

Hownmany Chinese have you seen selling gala or pirated CD on the street on Lagos just to build China ? ...

Brown roofs are still present in alaibo. plus you people don't have enough land, hence the destruction on the old settlements to build new houses that would have served has tourist attraction or for business....

We have old settlements and our new settlement still beat all of alaibo hands down..

How much are nnewei , aba or innoson contributing to the GDP? The last time I checked, 85% of non oil revenue comes from south west ..

The rest of the rants ... do not deserve response ..its the usual chest beating lies from a typical Igbo ..
These is how you people have been ranting about our oyel and finally turns out SW is the second largest producer of oil in nigeria ..

Loud mouth fools ..

seunmsg:



Where do you Ibos get all these nonsense statistics from? You should get some education about revenue generation laws in Nigeria before displaying your ignorance publicly. Lagos state does not generate majority of it internal revenue from seaports, markets and entertainment.

All the ports in Lagos are operated by the federal government and the Nigeria customs service is in charge of administering the duties charged on importation and exportation. State governments have nothing to do with with levelling taxes on imported and exported products. States are only allowed majorly to administer personal income tax, capital gains tax (individual), registration of business premises etc.

And your argument about Lagos state generating huge revenues from markets and entertainment is very funny. Those traders pay little or nothing as taxes to the state government. Their contributions is very insignificant when you look at the average monthly revenue generated by Lagos state.

scholes0:


Exactly, states like Akwa Ibom produce more than 95% if not all of their production from offshore oil fields.
So, in actuality, they don't really have any "oil producing communities" in the conventional sense of the term, except they have communities deep inside the ocean, lol.
I however think proceeds from these fields rightly belong to them, as it is in their state's territorial waters. Shebi Nigeria is a federation of states.

seunmsg:


I agree that the states should get some proceeds but it should be limited to resources in the territorial sea. At best, obasanjos initial 24 nautical miles proposal should be adopted. The present situation where litoral states are getting revenues from resources found in the exclusive economic zones of up to 200 nautical miles and up to the continental shelf is just unfair to other parts of the country. Even in international laws, the activities of littoral states/ regions are always limited to 12 nautical miles. The onshore/offshore dichotomy act is a serious mistake that was ignorantly passed by Na'abba and his colleagues back in 2003.

You are a worthless being from the land of frustrated and wailing wailers. The progress of Yoruba Nation is a nightmare to your worthless tribe and it won't seize to be.

We ll continue to accommodate you as immigrants and 2nd class citizens. Ko kan Aye!!! 90% of your teenagers now speak Yoruba language as a result of feeding and providing your kinsmen an enabling environment to do their thing; indirect colonisation.

I presumed that it's the same boundary adjustment that brought oil deposit to Lagos state too. Fool!!!

Our state is planning to join that oil league and i ll strongly advise you and your world recognised wailing wailers to prepare for your sudden and miserable death fool.

We are the head while you will continue to be a tail. That's what it's . Gba o!!!!

scholes0:


Is that the current situation??
Okay, that is just not fair. Fields like Agbami, Erha, Bonga etc are deepwater oil fields that can't be said to belong to any community.

YourNemesis:


You people are shameless concoctionists who can lie for Africa.
You will stop at nothing in shoving your stupid agenda down everyone's throats.
In case you don't know, Nigeria's first oil was actually discovered in Ondo state in a place called Araromi, not Oloibiri in Bayelsa.


http://nigeriadaily..ca/2009/10/crude-oil-crisis-in-nigeria.html

So, tell me how the rubbish you posted above there is true, when Ondo has always been an old oil producing state, though not on the same levels as the big players such as Akwa Ibom and Delta.

Oluwole statistic..

Fact is that Lagos generates most of its IGR from port..
You forgot that oils in Niger-delta are also operated by the same FG...


Yoruba propagandist..

xtrorse:


If Yorubas are economically ahead of Igbos why then do many Yorubas whine, weep and wail at the mere mention of Biaf...?

Have you taken care of yourself before bragging about accommodating and feeding someone else who's better of than you?

Yorubas should concentrate in taking care of their numerous street urchins and illiterate folks living in abject poverty and squalor before boasting of accommodating an industrious people. It's sheer stupidity of misplaced priority!

Drilling has started on the Aje 5 production well in Aje field offshore Nigeria, paving the way for first oil on the floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel development.
The three-phase development, starting with two production wells, Aje 5 and a re-entry of Aje 4, will use Rubicon Offshore International's Front Puffin FPSO, which is currently being refurbished in Singapore.
The two Phase I development wells are being drilled using Saipem's Scarabeo 3 semisubmersible drilling rig, in about 300m water depth, with the first well due to take about 70 days before moving on to re-enter and complete the Aje 4 well.
According to partner MX Oil, the Phase 1 Aje development, in the OML 133 license, in the Dahomey Basin, close to the border with Benin, is targeting first oil in December 2015 and peak gross production of 41 API oil from Aje 5 and 4 is expected to reach 11,000 b/d. Phase 2 is targeting an increase in gross production to 19,000 b/d from an additional two-well development.
According to partner Panoro Energy, The Aje Field contains hydrocarbon resources in sandstone reservoirs in three main levels - a Turonian gas condensate reservoir, a Cenomanian oil reservoir and an Albian gas condensate reservoir.
Installation of the production manifold, flowlines, umbilicals and risers on the field is due to take place in Q4 2015. The 245.6m-long Front Puffin is fitted with a disconnectable submerged turret mooring system, which connects to the seabed via a submerged buoy and multiple leg mooring spread.
The vessel was built in 1990 and converted to a DP shuttle tanker in 1994 and then an FPSO in 2007, in order to work offshore north west Australia for Sea Production on blocks AC/P22. It has a tandem offtake mooring system and floating hose arrangement and facilities for gas lift compression for artificial lift.
Aje is operated by Nigerian firm Yinka Folawiyo Petroleum (YFP). The other partners are Jacka Resources, New Age, First Hydrocarbon Nigeria, and Energy Equity Resources.
Further exploration operations in the Dahomey basin offshore Western Nigeria are ongoing.

[size=13pt]Lagos Set To Join Oil Producing States As Production Begins This Year[/size]


http://www.lse.co.uk/AllNews.asp?cod...Earlier_ALLISS

If Production from Aje alone can reach 19,000 barrels per day as planned, then Lagos will displace Imo state into 8th largest oil producer and sit at 7th spot, from just one oilfield.
The Ogo field is even Larger.

pazienza:


Only Biafra can solve that problem.

That way we eliminate the Arewa-Oduanistan effect and machinations and rekindle our bond of unity with our long lost brothers.
There were Igbophilic voices in those communities that were against the Igbo denial ish, they only wanted to control their resources, but those voices were drowned and Igbophobic voices were raised and empowered by the Arewa-Oduanistans, and as the powers of Igbophobic voices grew, so did they followership in the entire community, until the entire community became Igbophobic.

It is to the exploitation agenda of the Arewa-Oduanistans that Igboland remain balkanized, without first neutralizing them, we can't achieve much. There will always be greedy people in those areas that would always be empowered by the Arewa-Oduanistans to ensure the Igbo denials continues and that oil keep flowing.

So if I have the powers, I would establish Biafra by peace or by war.

Igbo denial is the disease, Arewa-Oduanistans are the pathogens. Remove the pathogens, you cure the disease.
