berem: na everywhere you work? Do you need to work in shell to know when oil was discovered? smh

that guy geez hates anything igbo.he also said he worked with 6banks.pls ignore this guy he jobless.

meksroland: you're also wrong, oil was first discovered in Ikeduru LGA of imo state but was first discovered in commercial quantity in Oloibiri.

achi4u: Ebonyi is a blessed state to the Easterners with alot of so many natural mineral resources begging for govt attention,if only all the SE states can team-up and re-invest in Nkalagu Cement Industry(Nigercem) with desire to help Ebonyi govt and SE in general because as things stand now the state govt alone with the kind of people ruling the state cannot do much needed work there.

As for oil.The oil deposit at Edda and its enviro has been there for God knows when with little or no attention being giving to it...,so,we are not much intrested in oil exploration anymore(just like many other people above had mention) because so many other natural gift abound in state.

So many mineral there laying fallow waiting to be tapped.

Abagworo:

I wouldn't declare you a hater because you probably lack the knowledge. Oil was 1st struck in Edda but was declared as not commercial. The next place was Owerri which was also declared as non-commercial. Oloibiri and Owaza were struck almost at the same time in the mid 50s and were declared as commercial. Why was Oloibiri and Owaza commercially viable? The deposit was large and it required less investment in pipelines to Bonny. If you can lay your hands on documents that pre-date 1970, you would know this. The civil war led to a lot of cover ups and twist of history.

SOH KAH TOA: Good for Ebonyi and Nigeria in general. Let's be hapi at progress, why are some peeps sad for a possible oil exploration in Iboland? Na wa o

[b]Wrong sir. Oil was first discovered in Oloibiri in 1956. I worked with SPDC fairly long enough to know that. Maybe the oil you speak of is Palm Oil

emmygod: preliminary investigation panels from federal government of Nigeria should also carried out investigation of oil in UDI and Oji river precisely ugwuoba both in ENUGU STATE. My own findings shows that there is deposit of oil in both regions.
