We are talking of active production, yet you claim Lagos oil is imaginary despite a semi submersible oil rig operated by ENI having worked on the Aje field offshore Badagry, and an FPSO working to produce and store the crude oil.

Yet you then come up with an imaginary gas reserve in Anambra state that has never been produced?

Even you can see how hopeless you are.

LAGOS DOES NOT HAVE OIL.

SO WEN U HERE SS/SE, UNDERSTAND ONE THING, MONEY.

FROM ABIA TO IMO, BLESSED WITH GAS AND OIL, ALL THE WAY TO ANAMBRA.

FIRST OIL IN NIGERIA WAS DISCOVERED IN ENUGU AND EBONYI.

Yet the same Eastern region government that was dominated by Igbos, watched as Oloibiri in Bayelsa that was within the same region was produced to claim a historic feat?

What do you gain from all these hopeless lies?

That oil was prospected and found to exist, is not the same as first commercial quantity?

Besides, the first oil prospecting site in Nigeria, was in present day Ondo state, but was not found to be in commercial quantity.

Stop trying to fight the history and significance of Oloibiri.

At least, make an attempt to fight the Igbo in you. No wonder you are not trusted by those who know you so well.

Oloibiri remains the site of the first commercial oil production in 1958 after discovery in 1956, while the first ever site of oil exploration and discovery was in 1908 at Araromi in current Ondo state.

Colonial documents and evidences prove that oil was first found in Ebonyi, Anambra, Enugu states, 83 years ago, but government refuses to acknowledge this nor explore the black gold.[/size]


[size=20pt]Not many Nigerians may know that 83 years ago, oil was discovered in Ebonyi, Anambra and Enugu states, in the South East geo-political zone. That was at least more than 20 years before the oil find in Oloibori, in the Niger Delta, which is prided as the first discovery in the country. According to documentary evidence, the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) knows this, but the corporation has not made much efforts to explore the oil ever since.[/size]

Saturday Sun visited Ebonyi, Anambra and Enugu states recently, where mineral oil lie idle and waste. Indigenes of these places, where unexploited oil was discovered, are full of lamentation.


Evidence of oil find in South East
At Edda, Ebonyi State, Prince Sunny Ugwuocha, a calibration engineer and principal partner of an oil servicing firm in Lagos, confirmed knowledge of the existence of oil in his community. It was also the same with Mr. Nnachi Kalu, a chemist and petroleum analyst, who admitted to Saturday Sun his knowledge of oil in Edda, his native place.

[size=20pt]They said the oil find was in 1928, 83 years ago. Till date, the oil in Edda, with all the attesting documents at the National Archives in Enugu remains untapped.[/size]

Looking for sympathy because the Igbos are becoming averse to information and would embrace idiocy so as to feel better about their failings relative to others?

Do you remember a certain idiot who claimed he had the positive result of Igbo Jewish DNA, because he felt the news would not be reported globally, even in the country were the tests were done? He knew the type of Idiots he was herding.

You are talking 1928, while I am talking 1908 in Araromi Ondo.

Which discovery is older?

Was any found anywhere on Nigeria to be of commercial importance before Oloibiri?

Why are you so bitter that Oloibiri which is not Igbo land, had to be given such deserving status?

Fight the Igbo and ignorance in you.

Akwa Ibom state Government have began the construction of a 21 storey building for offices.

Speaking on efforts so far to ensure relocation of offices of International Oil Companies to the state, Commissioner of information Udoh said the ongoing 21-storey building embarked upon by Governor Udom Emmanuel would have state-of –the art facilities for offices.

"We know how much ExxonMobil is paying as tax to Lagos State government. Now we are constructing a 21 storey building with the intention to gradually increase it to about 30. This is a smart building with standard facilities for a modern office. So ExxonMobil would no longer have any excuse for not relocating to the state”. he said
cc mynd44

http://ibomtoday.com/akwa-ibom-begins-construction-of-21-storey-for-mobil/

What a highly 'mumu-ish' endeavour. shocked So this governor thinks that a building, is all it takes to attract international oil companies like Mobil to Akwa Ibom? Who told him Mobil cannot afford to build its own offices, over there? The Ibom specialist hospital that he should focus attention on, in order to stem medical tourism and earn revenue for the state, he has ignored it. The hospital is closed down, and he is now building a 21 storey building. Tomorrow, he will build them a housing estate. I laugh in Greek! cheesy

DeLaRue:
'...so ExxonMobil would no longer have an excuse for not relocating to the State.'

This is not the sort of language to use.

International companies are not easily bullied.

Don't mind Governor Udom. I think someone has infected him with a peculiar brand of ridiculousness.

Will they drag Mobil into the building after completion?

Did Exxon Mobil say they would move to Akwa Ibom because they building skyscraper? Getting multi billion dollar company to move HQ isn't as simple as a new office space. Look at Amazon right now.

It's the most appropriate thing to do... Almost all Oil Drilling Companies are located in TX or Louisiana, not Washington DC or NY. You cannot drill resources from State A and then pay taxes in State B. It's just not right.

Statoil is the world's largest offshore operator, with 20,500 employees and operations in over 30 countries worldwide. sad In Norway, Statoil operates more than 40 assets in the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea and the Barents Sea, in addition to holding a significant number of exploration licences elsewhere, as well as operating one of the largest oil fields on the Norwegian continental shelf, producing more than 400,000 barrels a day. Yet, its offices are in Fornebu, just a few metres outside Oslo where its' unique head office is built, with a spectacular view over adjacent park areas and the fjord of Oslo - while its' group activities take place within Oslo (the Norwegian capital) and Bergen.

2. For so many years under Akpabio, Akwa Ibom with just 5 million people passed larger budgets than Lagos state with 20 million people and sometimes even over N100 billion larger.

3. For several years under Akpabio, Akwa Ibom budgeted billions for the construction of Ibaka deep seaport, but he did not clear even ordinary bush or build an ordinary fence.

4. By the time Akpabio left office, he completed and commissioned only 1 football stadium, 1 cinema, 1 library, 1 uncompleted hospital, some roads and 1 flyover.

Lol you know this because they told you personally. What a bunch of nonsense. You think companies care about population and greeny. Why would companies be located in big cities 90% of time in places like New York, Houstan, London, Honk Kong, Dublin etc. This was a senseless retort.

The Akwa Ibom vs Lagos crime is only decent point you made. The only issue is workers have been kidnapped more in Akwa Ibom. Just Google it.

They already said they weren't interested in moving HQ. They listed reasons why. An office space wasn't one of them. Lol you guys obvisiously care why else would you clowns be throwing tantrums over this issue all the time. You probably in tour room making charms right now.

The company said another reason why they wouldn’t relocate their head office was that their “primary federal government contacts in Nigeria” were based in Lagos. Again you don't commit money to a building unless you already consulted the other party. I doubt they will jump on opportunity without the other factors I listed. Tax incentives, saftey guarantees and OGFZ could sway their opinion.

In a 2005 letter addressed to a U.S-based Nigerian environment activist, Tom-Mbeke Ekanem, the oil company said, “Mobil has three businesses in Nigeria which are managed by one Lead Country Manager. It is essential that the headquarters of each of those businesses be consolidated in one office where support services can be shared.

Whether Houston is the Energy Capital or not is certainly not the question. Please say what you know and what you can defend. Exxon pays all their taxes to different jurisdiction where their operations are. For instance, local property taxes for which they file annual rendition forms is paid to the Country Appraisal District where the property located. Their oil wells in West Texas say the Midlands would be paid to the CAD over there NOT Houston. Same applies to gasoline taxes as well Payroll taxes. Yes Houston gets a huge portion of the franchise/sales tax, but all jurisdictions get all their taxes.

Isn't that the same thing here, too? Mobil pays its corporate tax to the federal govt, and not to Lagos state. Any property taxes on its buildings in Lagos, are captured under Land Use Charges and paid to the state. Their operational base & housing estate in Eket in Akwa Ibom covers several acres, which is far more than the size of the plot their head office occupies in Lagos. So property taxes on their operational base in Eket, would go to the Akwa Ibom govt and not to Lagos.

Gasoline taxes are captured by federal govt, and not by any of the state govts. Revenue from crude as well as oil and gas exploration activities, are also captured into fed govt coffers, not state govt.
