Laid2001: AMCON took over Mr. Bruce cinema in PH over unsettled debts. Say what you know so you dont look stupid. The federal govt (being the ones in control of the police, military and other security agencies) should be held responsible if they cannot maintain order and security in Rivers being handed that mabdate by the constitution of the country. If they also cannot provide jobs for the jobless masses which inturn leads to crime, then they are very irresponsible and ought not to be in power in any instance. Free yourself of subjective reasoning so you can appreciate the wider causes of societal ills. |

Afterall Shell actually started in Owerri. Shell started its exploration in Owerry and they use to have their headoffice there in early days of the company (in the 40ties)!! ImoRiver: |

So if that is the case for the entire country, how come companies are more attuned to some city than yours!. This issue is not a nationwide issue, if you don't even admit your problem how can you get a solution! Lagosian, or Owerri people will not go and shut down office because their people are not qualified to work in any company. They will not focus on harassing IOCs and be bombing up and down!

No. This plan to move offshore is old- over 15 years ago, my cousin who was a bigshot in Shell told me that they had decided on this plan because of the issues with onshore drilling. |

The core oil richest states in Nigeria are Rivers, Akwaibom, Bayelsa and Delta state. If Shell do not see any place in these states to locate their facilities then they should equally forget about oil drilling in the region. I am a regular visitor to PH and I know too well that insecurity has reduced at the moment compare to the last administration except they want to use the relocation to score a political point against Wike. Shell shall remain in PH.. DozieInc: 1 Like 1 Share |

DeadWrong:You spoke like someone in the oil industry. Thanks for the revelations. One thing I want to add is that the joint venture between the companies and the government is also an issue. Government neglected their own part and the companies are bearing all the costs of production to even exports costs. People also need to know that government has over 50% stake in all productions yet they are huffing around. 1 Like |

I served in South South during my Nysc days. I am in full support of shell relocation. All these South South boys are so lazy. I wish oil was found in the south west. We for done leave other region for back like like usian Bolt dey leave other athletes. Where I served, there was a day some of these oil companies brought a transformer, Infact 2 for the host community. Imagine the community boys said the oil company must pay before they can install transfomer that will be of used by the community ooo. Go to warri and see what warri as turned into since shell left. Warri is now a dirty, rough place. If shell goes to Lagos. Omo give Lagos 3 years you go think say Na NYC you dey. South westerners are reasonable and educated. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Have your community ever been devastated with spilled oil from pipelines, hiw about the air you breathe, and the sponsor of violence by this IOCs. If you can feel firsthand the ills, you can be sure id not grumble if you enjoy the benefite, else, you should have no stake. |

DeadWrong: Dude what exactly are you saying? You're mixing two unrelated events here. Granted that just as you highlighted, a large number of Niger Delta youths in host communities are nuisance to development, you miss the mark. That a HQ is relocated does not mean that Shell's operational staff will not remain on ground in communities to continue with business as usual. The HQ is were management/administrative staff work in. They have little or no interaction with the host communities were oil is actually drilled. I suspect that Shell's HQ major cost grouse in this instance would be on things like: 1) money spent on security for its top management staff 2) Regular kidnap of its HQ staff 3) Fear of kidnap by its HQ staff 4) Ill-defined levies beyond statutory tax extracted by both PH formal and informal orgs from both Shell HQ as an organisation, and its members of staff as individuals. 5) Costly inconvenience of living in a location (PH) that is far away from a federal or international hub such as Abuja and Lagos. So Shell HQ leaves the bad, bad Niger Delta and moves to the good, good Lagos right, so its top staff can easily travel home to their south west abodes during the weekends abi ? But leaves its actual money extracting operation in this bad, bad ND location ...LOL They should consider moving their HQ to Sokoto in the North which is quite peaceful or Asaba in Delta state or many other equally peaceful states were they wont be kidnapped naw. In this our present interconnected world, they could even go as far as relocating their Nigerian HQ to neigbouring cameroon or peaceful Ghane. I hope you guys will similarly support any of these other options as much as you salivate with eloquence of pro-and-con logic at the thought that Shell's intended next HQ destination is the Lagos/Ogun axis. |

ImoRiver:If it is true that Shell is moving to Owerri, then i am in full support of it. The states of delta, bayelsa and rivers have made business very rough for IOCs which have made relocation a survival strategy. When Shell left Warri, Delta state and moved bigly to PH, the economy of warri tumbled into depression as thousands of contractors either followed them to rivers state or closed shop. I don't expect similar scenario to play out in PH as Agip, Total/Elf and NLNG still have big presence there. The youths of Rivers, Delta, and Bayelsa states have to stop oil pipeline vandalism, extortion, kidnapping and harassment of IOCs in their areas of operation if they are really sincere in keeping the oil firms in their region.

Abagworo aka Imoriver, you are the only one talking about Owerri here even when it is the last place in Nigeria that will be considered for such relocation. Mentioning Owerri here is like saying that Gambia will replace America at the UN as a permanent member. Shell remains in PH, stop giving yourself unnecessary hard-on.. [s] Abagworo:[/s] |
