EXPERTS VISIT OIL WELLS SITE AT OKWUJI AGAIN. The Sole Administrator of Apa Local Government Council Chief Hon. Solomon Oche Danjuma received experts again from Abuja to ascertain the quantity of oil deposits at the site. After thorough investigation, the engineers discovered that the oil deposits is of commercial quantity but they will still go to Abuja to come back with more experts to open the sealed abandoned oil wells. A villager Mr Francis Akogwu who worked with the oil company narrated that oil was truly discovered in the place in the 1960s but the whites left because of the civil war that broke out then. Mr Akogwu said the whites drilled as deep as 14,000ft before they discovered the oil deposits, he also said the whites told them as at that time that the oil deposits is very large and of commercial quantity as it extends to Asaba in Ojantele/Akpete ward, extends to Okpoo in Ikobi Ward and also extends to the large palm trees orchard between Ankpali and Ebugodo in Edikwu Ward II all of Apa Local Government Council. The villager also gave the name of the oil company as FOREX OIL DRILLING COMPANY and was able to remember the names of two whites then as Raphael and Rusell while over all man was Mr Tu Pusser who always visited them with helicopter. On his part, the Sole Administrator of Apa LG Chief Hon Solomon Oche Danjuma thanked the experts for always honouring his invitation and also informed them that he always ready to support and meet their demands to ensure the exploration of oil in Apa LG, he charged the host community to always guide the site as no one is permitted to visit the site except they receive instruction from the Council.

Congratulations to Benue people. We the good people of Oduduwa land rejoice at your discovery of the blessing God bestowed on the land your ancestors bequeathed to you. We also welcome you into the league of oil producing states just like our Lagos and Ondo. The more the merrier. Mark my words some bad belle people, haters and association of bad wishers might tell you your oil discovery is a lie. Do not mind them, they can only feel bad there is nothing they can do to whom God has chosen to bless. Some renowned worldwide developers will soon come around to tell you a phantom story of how they developed your land and they are the owners of your land, do not mind them too. Just know your history and no where you forefathers' land starts and ends. Just remember i prophesied before hand that they will surely come with their doubting and cynical minds. DO not be angry with them, just pray for God to make them repent from their cursed evil ways. 97 Likes 8 Shares |

Eastactivist: might be igbo speaking part of benue solbil: your foolishness will always find you out. stop being sentimental but strive to learn new fact. emotions are no competitors of facts http://www.google.com.ng/url?q=http://thenationonlineng.net/agony-igbos-benue/&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwjYxMb927_RAhXCuhoKHSWmBNoQFggVMAQ&usg=AFQjCNG8NLcwFSVcA23XGb7tLjoxYCc6gg http://www.google.com.ng/url?q=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benue_State&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwjYxMb927_RAhXCuhoKHSWmBNoQFggTMAM&usg=AFQjCNH2P21wZIL4J6sWIDkfBmmldmjXrA People and culture The state is populated by several ethnic groups: Tiv, Idoma , Igede, Etulo , Abakpa, Jukun, Hausa , Igbo , Akweya and Nyifon. The Tiv are the dominant ethnic group, occupying 14 local government are solbil: this boy you are practically foolish. so why wasn't Yoruba, kanuri ijaw etc mentioned in the article or are there no such ethnic groups residing in Benue? the mentioned people are indigenous just like there a few indigenous igalas in anambra but they can't be given a local government of their own because of their small population. so the nation is no longer a reputable news media? may God have mercy on your soul. http://thenationonlineng.net/agony-igbos-benue/ . Being of the Igbo stock, their soul is in the Southeast, but their bodies and homes are in Benue State, in the Northcentral. That is not all. In Benue, where they are quartered, more for political considerations than for cultural reaons, they lament their lack: no roads, no water, hardly any sign of modern life. They are Igbos of the Ezza, Izzi and Effium stock. Their kith and kin are in other parts of the Southeast, particularly Ebonyi State. They claim they are not fewer than one million scattered in four local governments of Benue State. And for close to 50 years since they were excised from their kinsmen, they have been living primitive lives. Their pathetic plight is that the authorities in Benue, from the state to the local governments, have not seen them as part of the state ostensibly because they speak Igbo. On the other hand, the Ebonyi State government where they should have rightly belonged is helpless as they are not under its area of administration and authority. The people allege that since their inclusion into Benue State they have not felt any government presence. None of their people were considered for employment in any of the two tiers of government. Indeed, in their lamentation, they are not in the scheme of things as far as government business is concerned in Benue. In Nweke’s words: “The Igbos in Benue State particularly those in Ado, Oju, Obi and Okpoku LGAs of the state were in existence before the advent of Christian religion in Nigeria. The Igbo found in Benue are: Umuezeokoha, Umuezeoka, Oriuzor, Umuoghara, Amaekka and Amaezekwe all in Ezza communities, Izzi, Ezzamgbo and Effium, these are the people who would have been in present-day Ebonyi State but due for the fact that the Nigerian government then carved us into Benue in order to use our population to suppress our Eastern population. Apart from the Ezza-speaking clan, particularly the people of Umuezeokoha that has over 300 villages, if you are to calculate the number of Igbo-speaking villages, you find out that we are more than 600 villages because three of the biggest markets in our area are all in the Igbo-speaking part. The markets are as follows: Inikiri Ichari, Iddah, Iduokpe. boy I have presented you with a Wikipedia source and thenationonline source. so if you must argue do that with verifiable facts and not out of sentiments or emotions 6 Likes 4 Shares |
