nsiba:Don't mind them, they're speaking in different tongues. They are indigenous private companies that are qualified for Artisanal Oil miners in South south region but they won't be allowed to operate and get regulated from FG. |

I have always said it here, if it was the north that owned oil, first there wouldn't be a Nigeria today cos they won't agree for this force marriage. Secondly, they would have total control of it and not let any other region benefit. Just imagine gold that they just saw, not like its even much o. They already started personalising it. Yet that same north was built from scratch with the oil money of the south. God will purnish UK for this forced marriage where only one section benefits. Idiots |

ejighikemeuwa:The Governors know better, playing to the gallery for the docile public, pdp South South Governors playing politics as usual, without a doubt, Section 44(3) states "the entire property in and control of all minerals, mineral oils and natural gas in, under or upon any land in Nigeria or in, under or upon the territorial waters and the Exclusive Economic Zone of Nigeria, shall vest in the Government of the Federation and shall be managed in such manner as may be prescribed by the National Assembly." Likewise the Mineral Act of 2007 is very clear on issue of minerals ownership and exploitation |

this is one reason i love coming to Nairaland,you will see best of analysis,the minister is a smoker,let oil bunkers too be given licence and oil producing state too setup oil drilling and processing platform,oil companies must be owned by state government with at least 50℅ stake,if they can't take that they should look should go to chad Republic for oil 1 Like 1 Share |

Blue3k:Pipe line theft and pipe line vandalism are criminal same as illegal miners who mine gold illegally. Nobody is anticipating for theft or illegal access, they want licenses, permit, regulations granted to those artisans for local crude oil wells and drilling so that those host communities will benefit and you will not hear of crude oil theft, vandalism, destruction of pipes in those communities because it will create jobs and safe the nation a lost from those militants. Don't you think it is a win win situation for everyone? 1 Like 1 Share |

You can't deny a lie naa. The governor himself said it loud and clear that they would be selling the gold to the federal government |
Re: Ministry Of Mines Denies Claims Of CBN Buying Gold From Zamfara State Government by bigtt76(f): 8:20am On Nov 17, 2020 |
Its called oil bunkering because the people vandalize already established oil wells and steal oil from it. If they can afford to prospect for oil on their own and established a functional oil well without disrupting the lives of the people or existing oil wells belonging to oil companies, why not.

LagosAirport:So the Governor said it, what does that imply? You people scream as if you can change anything? The provisions of the constitution is unambiguous, The Government gives you a license, you mine the gold & sell it to the Government’s Gold Board run by the CBN, it is called out scorching, same thing when you are giving Oil Mineral OML licenses, you sell the cargo oil produced to the Government, you don’t look for international buyers yourself, the Government has brokers for that. |
Re: Ministry Of Mines Denies Claims Of CBN Buying Gold From Zamfara State Government by chloride6: 8:29am On Nov 17, 2020 |
bigtt76: Lmao...you are confusing illegal bunkering for bunkering. You think you can just go and start producing oil and gas? You are joking. You need to bid for a prospecting license which Artisanal miners havent done. If you strike oil, you execute an agreement with the government on sharing agreement. None of this has been done. The ministry of mines has just made the situation worse. |

Re: Ministry Of Mines Denies Claims Of CBN Buying Gold From Zamfara State Government by Commonsense99: 8:31am On Nov 17, 2020 |
bigtt76:Are you trying to compare the rudiments of owning an oil well to what is happening in Zamfara? What's the difference between a guy who vandalised and stole oil, and a guy who stole gold from its deposits? Does South South states control their oil? Here zamfara is indirectly running the racket themselves. Didn't you notice the foot drag in registering the artisanal criminals from the FG, while we all know how same FG guides and apportion oil Wells to Northerners. We must be prepared to tell ourselves the truth sometimes. |
Re: Ministry Of Mines Denies Claims Of CBN Buying Gold From Zamfara State Government by bigtt76(f): 8:33am On Nov 17, 2020 |
That is why the SS governors ought to come together and fight the government for this if truly what is happening in Zamfara is anything to go by. Many states have moribund mines which could be restarted by the state governments if given the opportunity. Commonsense99: |

Rugaria:Bunkering is different, why the artisanal miners do the mining, oil bunkerers vandalise some other persons investment and steal from it. Mining licencese can be obtained by any niger delta state or individual like Belema oil did and develop the wells and start drilling. |

Blue3k: Baba read that ur OP again. Don't let them use grammar to confuse you. Let me break it down. Artisanal miners were mining illegally. Then selling to bandits(criminals). If this is not economic sabotage and accessory to crime of banditry I don't know what else it is. But the ministry made an excuse for them that they were ignorant. When did ignorance become an excuse under our laws? The state government is now collecting the revenue on behalf of the Federal govt by setting up buying centres like NNPC does in oil and gas. Since when did state government become a revenue collector agency. I ask you. If Delta state were to approach the federal government that it wants to go into partnership with Chevron to prospect for oil do you really think that will be acceptable? Where is the equivalent of NNPC in the mining sector? We all saw pictures of the Zamfara state governor handing over the bars to the CBN gov. The news also told us how much was paid by the CBN to Zamfara state. It was after eyebrows were raised that everyone started singing a song of denial. What is going on is illegal to start with and another example of govt by the north. Don't be deceived. States don't pay money into federation account. They have their own accounts separate for their IGRs. If not, let the MoF show us the receipts for the remittance of the gold purchase by Zamfara govt into the Fed account. |
Re: Ministry Of Mines Denies Claims Of CBN Buying Gold From Zamfara State Government by VEE2010(m): 9:10am On Nov 17, 2020 |
What a moronic defense! So, local miners in the North are allowed to extract gold and even have the legal right to sell same to the government while oil bunkers in the south are being arrested, demoralised and killed as common criminals and even labelled militants? It's high time we started thinking aloud, there is no single trust and fairness in this socalled union (Nigeria) |
Re: Ministry Of Mines Denies Claims Of CBN Buying Gold From Zamfara State Government by Agbegbaorogboye: 9:11am On Nov 17, 2020 |
infohenry:Who gave artisanal miners license? When was there a public bid for the licenses? Or don't you know that any govt properties being sold or concessioned are supposed to be done in a public bid? If the miners don't have a gold mining license, what they are doing is same as bunkering because they don't have the right to mine without a license. Any other thing is bullcrap |

Blue3k:Who are the artisanal miners, who gave them license to mine the gold, can anyone just go about mining crude oil in Niger Delta? From what I observed, these artisanal miners are illiterate, invariably it means anyone can just go zamfara n start mining gold. |
Re: Ministry Of Mines Denies Claims Of CBN Buying Gold From Zamfara State Government by infohenry(m): 9:35am On Nov 17, 2020 |
Agbegbaorogboye:Mining license is issued by ministry of mines and solid minerals, like I said oil mining is different from gold, it requires huge capital investment and advance technology, so it is not all comers affair. The government should look into the area of local refineries in the creek and like the artisanal miners, organise them in cooperatives and allocate crude to them for refining in an environmental friendly manner. |
