Atlas Oranto petroleum owned by Arthur Eze dwarfs all Yoruba owned oil exploration companies.. UJu Ifejika of Brittania U Nigeria and Ghana is the most powerful woman in oil and gas business in Africa.. Most of the companies Yoruba guys posted here like Gatwick Airport etc are multinational corporation in which a yoruba person has a significant share in them..They didn't start them from scratch... Just like the way Wale Tinubu is threatening Kachikwu to sell PH refinery to him without competitive bidding..What Yoruba people does is to lobby the government to sell National companies to them without properly following due process..
It sucks to be Afonja. Ugly tribe.

Oando is Nigeria's largest independent conglomerate in the energy industry, including petroleum products marketing, supply & trading, exploration and production, and gas distribution, and the first Nigerian company to achieve a dual listing on both the Nigerian and Johannesburg Stock Exchanges. Oando is Nigeria's largest indigenous oil company with a production output of 54,000 boepd and a market capitalisation of $894 Million.

Through its upstream subsidiary Oando Energy Resources (OER), Oando has a secondary listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange with a market capitalisation approximately $1 Billion.

Oando Plc Acquires Assets from ConocoPhillips
In July 2014, Oando, one of Africa’s largest integrated energy solutions providers, acquired ConocoPhillips’ Nigerian oil and gas business for $1.5bn. We took a closer look at this landmark deal
Currently, many in Western markets are wary of what exposure to emerging markets could mean for their margins – meaning local players are able to reclaim a share of the domestic market.
One such firm is Nigeria’s Oando – already among Africa’s leading energy providers, and enjoying a newfound status as one of the region’s premier oil and gas producers.
Made up of six entities, Oando is listed on the Nigerian, Johannesburg, and Toronto stock exchanges, and has headed operations in exploration and production, energy services, gas and power and downstream activities, and has made a number of pioneering breaking advances in the Nigerian energy sector.
But now, the company is setting its sights even higher, starting with its recent US$1.5bn acquisition of ConocoPhillips’ hydrocarbons assets.
The landmark acquisition has transformed Oando into Nigeria’s leading indigenous exploration and production company, with a total hydrocarbon production capacity of approximately 45,000 boe/d (barrels of oil equivalents), 2P reserves of 230.64 MMboe (millions of barrels of oil equivalents) and 2C resources of 547 MMboe. Furthermore, the transaction is immediately cash generative, with expected annual revenues of over US$600m and 50% earnings before interest, taxes, with depreciation and amortisation margin to boot.
The deal has increased Oando’s capacity eight-fold: pre-acquisition, the company had a production rate of approximately 5,000 bpd. The deal has rapidly consolidated its stature as a leading name in the West African oil and gas business. Although the country’s overall production rate is far short of what it once was (due mainly to theft and sabotage) the company expects the production rate to climb by another 600,000 bpd over the next five years, on top of two million barrels produced daily already.
With an ambition to produce 100,000 bpd before 2019, Oando’s position in the African energy market seems set only to become stronger.

Open letter to Tinubu by your elder

Asiwaju Sir, you may be wondering what I’m talking about? It is the issue of legacy. According to Peter Strople, ‘Legacy is not leaving something for people, it is leaving something in people’. Legacy is building something that outlives you. Legacy is greater than currency. In the words of Leonard Sweet, ‘ What you do is your history. What you set in motion is your legacy’. You can’t live forever, Sir. No one can. But you can create something that will. Enough of speaking in parables- I shall now speak plainly. When destiny brought you on the scene, we were enamoured because you championed the case for true federalism. It was your belief then that the Yoruba nation will fare better under a restructured arrangement than under the type of unitary government we run while pretending by calling it a federal government. Everyone knows that there is nothing federal about our government at all. If truth must be told, the Yoruba nation has fared very badly since the advent of our new democracy. And this is not about holding power at the centre. Let me bring this home: someone passed a comment recently that he would want Biafra to become a reality because he knows the Igbo nation will survive. That comment led me to deeper introspection as I wondered if the Yorubas can truly survive. Let me cite my first example. From Oyo to Osun, Ogun to Ondo, Ekiti to Kwara and Lagos, hardly will one see any serious industry or manufacturing concern owned by a Yoruba person. I am not talking about portfolio businesses or one-man business concerns. Most industries in Oyo State are owned by the Lebanese. The native business and industry gurus who dominated the landscape- Nathaniel Idowu, Amos Adegoke, Lekan Salami, Alao Arisekola, Adeola Odutola, Jimoh Odutola, Chief Theophilus Adediran Oni and others- are all gone with no credible replacements. I’m sure you remember the tyre factory of the Odutolas and how Jimoh Odutola was even asked by the Governments of Kenya and Ghana to set up a similar factory in their countries. Chief Theophilus Adediran # Oni , popularly called T.A # Oni & Sons started the first indigenous construction company in Nigeria. He willed his residence- Goodwill House, to the Oyo/Western state government, to be used as a Paediatric Hospital, which is now known as T.A Oni Memorial Children Hospital at Ring Road in Ibadan. This sprawling family Estate and residence was cited on a 15acre piece of land, 65 rooms, with modern conveniences, Olympic Swimming Pool and stable for Horses, etc. People like Chief Bode Akindele started companies like Standard Breweries and Dr Pepper Soft drink factory at Alomaja in Ibadan. Broking House built by the late Femi Johnson, an insurance magnate, still stands glittering in the mid-day sun as an epitome to a rich history that Ibadan has. The most serious and only notable Yoruba entrepreneur we have now is Michael Adenuga. I say this quite consciously because most of the other names are oil and gas barons. Most of what stood as testaments of industry in Oyo State are gone- Exide Batteries, Leyland Autos and many others. In its place are shopping malls and road side markets but no nation develops through buying and selling alone- especially when you’re not actually producing what you’re selling. Hypermarkets and supermarkets have taken over because of the need to feed our insatiable consumer-appetite and foreign tastes. In one instance, an ancient landmark in the form of a hotel was demolished to pave way for a mall. That is how low we have sunk. If our past is better than our present- if we always look back with nostalgia frequently, then there is a problem. The case of other states is not different. Osun’s case is pathetic. Ditto for Ondo and Ekiti. Ogun State can boast of some factories at Sango-Otta and Agbara axis but most of them are not owned by the Yorubas. There is no significant pharmaceutical company owned by any Yoruba except for Bond Chemicals in Awe, Oyo State- and its wallet share is very insignificant. For Lagos State, more than 70% of the manufacturing concerns and major industries in the State are owned by the Igbos. If the Igbos were to stop paying tax in Lagos State, the IGR of Lagos State will reduce by over 60%. In contrast, Sir, go to the South East and look at the manufacturing concerns in Onitsha, Aba and Nnewi. Please don’t forget those were areas ravaged by civil war a mere forty something years ago. [b]The Igbos have certainly made tremendous progress but the Yoruba nation has regressed. I wish to state that this letter is not meant to whip up primordial considerations or ethnic sentiments but just to put things in proper perspective. Asiwaju, I will like to also talk about the state of education in the Yoruba nation. Our education has gone to the dogs. We have a bunch of mis-educated and ill-educated young men and women roaming the streets. Ibadan, for instance, had the first University in Nigeria and the first set of research centres in Nigeria ( The Forestry Research Institute, the Cocoa Research Institute (CRIN), The Nigerian Cereal Research Institute Moor Plantation (NCRI), the NIHORT (Nigerian Institute of Horticultural Research), the NISER (Nigerian Institute of Social and Economic Research), IAR&T (Institute of Agriculture, Research and Training), amongst several others). Ibadan was the bastion of scholarship with people like Wole Soyinka, JP Clark, D.O Fagunwa and Amos Tutuola as residents. In the May/June 2015 West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination, Abia came tops. Anambra came 2nd while Edo was 3rd. Lagos placed 6th while Osun and Oyo was 29th and 26th. Ekiti was 11th, Ondo State was 13th and Ogun State was 19th. In 2013 WASSCE, only Lagos and Ogun States were the Yoruba States above the national average. If we do an analysis of how Lagos placed 6th in 2015, you will discover that it was substantially because of other nationalities resident in Lagos. For proof, please look no further than the winners of the Spelling Bee competition which has produced One-Day Governors in Lagos State. Since inception in 2001, other nationalities have won the competition six times (Ebuka Anisiobi in 2001, Ovuwhore Etiti in 2002, Abundance Ikechukwu in 2006, Daniel Osunbor in 2008, Akpakpan Iniodu Jones in 2011 and Lilian Ogbuefi in 2012). Sir, there is something seriously wrong about our state of education. From the vintage times of Obafemi Awolowo who initiated ‘free education’, we have regressed into a most parlous state. Let me talk about roads, housing and infrastructure . The first dualized road in Nigeria, the Queen Elizabeth road from Mokola to Agodi in Ibadan was formally commissioned by Queen Elizabeth in 1956. The first Housing Estate in Nigeria is Bodija Housing Estate (also in Ibadan) which was built in 1958. The state of roads in the Yoruba nation has become pathetic. Our hinterland are still largely rural. Even some state capitals like Osogbo and Ado-Ekiti are big villages when you compare them to towns in the South East. How many new estates have been built over the last decade? Even Ajoda New Town lies in ruins. We have abandoned the farm settlement strategy of the Western Region and only pay lip service to agriculture. Instead of feeding others like we once did, others now feed us. We plant no tomatoes, no pepper and the basic food that we require. The Indians have bought the large expanse of water body that we have in Onigambari village. The water body in Oke Ogun of Oyo State can provide enough fish to feed the whole of the South West. From being a major cocoa exporter many years ago, one can point to just a few vestiges of factories that still deal with Cocoa in the Yoruba nation. 80% of Cocoa processing industries in the South West have been shut down. The Chinese have taken over the cashew belt at Ogbomoso in Oyo State. They have even edged out the indigenes as brokers. They now come to the cashew belt to buy from the local farmers, sell on the spot to other Chinese exporters who now process the cashew nuts and import them back into Nigeria at a premium. Sir, there are only 7 major cashew processing plants in Nigeria and you can check out the ownership. The glory has departed from the Yoruba nation. Apart from Asejire, Ede, Ikere Gorge and Oyan dams built ages ago, where are the new dams to cater for increased population and water capacity for the Yoruba nation? How have we improved on what our heroes past left us? Maybe apart from certain areas in Lagos State, others can’t even supply their citizens with pipe-borne water. Our youth which we used to take pride in are largely a mass of unemployed and unemployable people. Have you noticed the abundance of street urchins, area boys, touts and ‘agberos’ that we now have all across the Yoruba nation? Have you noticed the swell in the ranks of NURTW (I mean no disrespect to an otherwise noble union)? Have you noticed the increase in the number of Yoruba beggars? There was a time that it was taboo for a Yoruba man to beg- but no more. The spirit of apprenticeship is dead. There was a time that people who learn vocational skills celebrate what we referred to as ‘freedom’. While that is largely moribund now in the Yoruba nation, the Igbos still practice it with great success. The only thing we can boldly say the Yoruba nation controls is the information machinery- the press. We own largely the newspapers- the Nation, Punch, Nigerian Tribune, TV Continental and a few others. It is because of our control of this information machinery that we have rewritten the narrative in the country with the misguided self-belief that things are normal and we are making progress. A look beyond the surface will prove that this is so untrue. We are largely divided. For the first time in the history of the Yoruba nation, religion is about to divide us further- and it is starting from Osun State. You are married to a Christian. My own father-in-law is an Alhaji. That is how we have peacefully do-existed but the fabrics are about to be torn to shreds because of poor management of issues. Afenifere has been reduced to a shadow of itself. OPC that once defended Yoruba interests has gone into oblivion.[/b] Yoruba elders have been vilified in the name of politics and partisanship. It is no longer news to see teenagers throwing stones at their elders because of their political indoctrination. Even under the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the Yorubas never belonged to just a single party- yet our unity was without blemish. Now, our values have gone down the drain. Asiwaju, I believe I have said enough. The task is Herculean but I believe Providence has brought you here for such a time like this. It is time for the Yoruba nation to clean up its acts. What do we really want? How can we quickly right the wrongs? The Yoruba nation is in a state of arrested development. The Yoruba nation is gasping for breath and crying for help. Will you rise up to the occasion? I am aware you understand that all politics is local and charity begins at home. Our fathers gave us a proverb: ‘Bi o’ode o dun, bi igbe ni’gboro ri’. I know there are no quick fixes but I also know that if there is anyone who has the capacity to do something about our current situation, that person is you. This should be the legacy you should think of. Your legacy is our future.

I think to prevent this thread going haywire into a battle zone with mud slinging and hate speech, Nairaland Moderators should maintain it where it is, end all new comments. Keep the old ones, scrutinize to clean out any offensive comment, and close the thread so it can remain for records and references only. Enough has been said by both Yorubas and Igbos. Both sides have showcased their industry and products, let neutral minds judge them. Educated minds from Ghana and South Africa can be the judge as citizens of neutral countries. Thanks.

Guy, don't talk about Arthur Eze where people like Sahara Group are concerned. Have you heard of Sahara Energy? It was set up in 1996 by 3 guys - Tope Shonubi, Ade Odunsi and Tonye Cole (son of fmr Ambassador Patrick Dele Cole). These guys studied Architecture, Business Administration and Accounting, respectively.

In the past 21 years, Sahara Group has not only established itself within the Oil and Gas industry, they have also set up additional chain of businesses in Power, Utilities, Farming, Infrastructure Development and Real Estate. They have offices in Nigeria, Cote D'Ivoire, Ghana, Benin Republic, United Kingdom, Singapore, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates and Angola.

They currently have 20 operating companies which cut across the energy sector, employing 660 employees on their staff. They also have a chain of petrol stations in strategic areas, tank farms/storage depots, and LPG vessels, which they use to load gas.

Sahara Power, a subsidiary of Sahara Group is set to increase power generation capacity in the sector through investment in new technology, global alliances and human capital development following its acquisition of First Independent Power Company Limited (FIPL). FIPL comprises four Power Plants namely:
*Omoku Power Plant – 150MW Gas Turbine
*Trans Amadi Power Plant – 136 MW GT
*Afam Power Plant – 180MW GT
*Eleme Power Plant – 75MW GT
It would be recalled that working through a number of Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV), Sahara had successfully acquired majority shareholding stakes in two (2) of the PHCN assets that were sold by the Nigerian Government, namely Egbin Power station – the largest Power Generation Plant in Nigeria – and Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company – the largest power distribution network in Nigeria. http://www.sahara-group.com/sahara-power-acquires-additional-power-generation-assets.html

Sahara Group under its' trade name SO Aviation, is also involved in the marketing and sales of aviation fuel to the airline industry, and has acquired respective equity in the OKLNG and Brass LNG greenfield projects.

Sahara Group’s upstream division comprises a number of affiliates whose mission is to acquire, explore, appraise and develop commercial oil and gas assets in established basins and emerging frontiers in Africa. Affiliates include Sahara Energy Field, Enageed Resources, Sahara Energy Exploration and Production among others. Sahara operates OPL 274, OPL 286 and OPL 284 oil fields in the deep offshore basin, as well as the Tsekelewu Marginal Field (OML 40). In Ivory Coast, it operates CI-500, an Offshore shallow water oil field.

Sahara Gas Limited Company was established to operate fully in the Gas Sector. The company is engaged in a variety of business activities ranging from the acquisition of preferred stakes in gas projects to the marketing and sale of gas products, including Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Liquefied Petroleum gas (LPG), and Condensates (Natural Gas Liquids- NGL).

Sahara Gas is highly committed to developing the domestic gas markets. It holds strategic stakes in the LNG sector with access to international gas markets and regasification facilities. Sahara Gas partnered with Sempra LNG to form a JV which secured 2.5% equity in the Olokola LNG (OKLNG) Project in Ogun State, Nigeria, and 3% equity in the Brass LNG Project in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Domestically, the company operates a 1,000MT LPG storage, truck loading and bottling depot in Calabar, Nigeria; which is being upgraded to a 2,500MT facility.

Sahara Bulk Storage Facilities develops and operates state-of-the-art Bulk Liquid Storage. The company is ISO 9001.2008 certified. It guarantees that all products received at its facilities, comply with international standards such as:

API (American Petroleum Institute)
ASTM (American Society for Testing & Materials)
IP (Institute of Petroleum)
JIG (Joint Inspection Group) on Guidelines for Aviation Fuel Quality Control

The company has a robust foot print in West Africa with a significant presence in Nigeria, Ghana and recently, Ivory Coast. All its facilities are specifically designed for the storage of all types of petroleum products and chemicals. http://www.sahara-group.com/our_business.html

Seplat is the largest private field operator at the moment


https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/daily/business/31101-indigenous-oil-firms-produce-865-000-bpd
Top 20 indigenous oil producing companies have a combined production capacity of 865,229 barrels per day (bpd), according to a report by Africa Oil & Gas.

The report made available at the ongoing Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) 2014 meeting in Lagos yesterday shows that, as at May 2014, the companies achieved the feat through individual and equity production.
Top among the list is the National Petroleum Development Company (NPDC) a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) with gross production of 186,918 bpd from its 10 oil fields.

Seplat is the largest private field operator at the moment with 60,113 bpd from three fields - Ovhor, Sapele and Oben.
Midwestern produces 12,654 bpd from its Umusadege field. Conoil is producing 10,100 bpd from Otuo South field, and Pan Ocean 7500bpd from Ogharefe field.
Other producers are: Moni Pulo 4000bpd, Walter Smith 3800bpd, Niger Delta 3800bpd, Energia 3500 bpd, Pillar Oil 2500 bpd, Amni Petroleum 18000 bpd, Allied Energy 2000bpd, Platform 2000 bpd, Shebah 1500 bpd, Prime Energy 1500 bpd, Dubri 200 bpd, and Shoreline Resources 41,201bpd among others.
The report also revealed Nigeria’s top five indigenous natural gas producers with combined capacity of 873.91 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscf/d).
Among the five, NPDC is the largest gas producer with 404.35 mmscf/d, ND Western 322.46 mmscf/d, Seplat 84.1mmscf/d, Frontier 35mmscf/d and Niger Delta 28mmscf/d.
The indigenous producers, who are mostly licensed for marginal oil fields and sole risk, have also increased their productions through joint venture with International Oil Companies operating in the country.
Nigeria currently produces about 2.3 million barrels of oil per day.
Experts said the delay in the award of new marginal oil fields by government has reduced the performance of the indigenous firms
