CFCfan:

I slightly disagree. The Lagos electorate are one of the most progressive, sophisticated ones in the nation. If Oluremi Tinubu is presented as the ACN governorship candidate in 2015, she has a high chance of winning the election. Though, it will be by small margin.

0lumide: I don't know why I'm indifferent to this news.

The Ijaws own that oil there!! This isn't fair. Remember the Ijaws gave Lagos to Yorubas because they were a fishing community and didn't need land.



The kind hypotheses wey dey NL ehn.. Man just need laugh.

alj harem: Acn is not winning Lagos state. Not because of the crap of percentage of non indigene but because lagosians don't want to wake up and hear they are living in Tinubu's state. All that non indigene is all internet talk.

Abagworo: Just like someone once wrote on Nairaland, almost every country in Africa is discovering oil and now almost every State in Nigeria is discovering oil. I'm happy not because of the oil discovery but because in near future coupled with the decision by US to increase domestic oil production, the price of oil will hit record low, thereby forcing us to buckle up. All these people fighting for juicy political office, oil blocks, secession and all related anti-people ambitions will realize the importance of unity and diversity. God bless Nigeria.

Bliss4Lyfe: Benin Basin, about 43 kilometres offshore Lagos? Dey should tank God OBJ is not President, becos any small noise from Benin Republic,Nigerians can kiss goodbye to Lagos oil.

At least all Nigerians can see the benefit of Lagos becoming an oil producing state for its cosmopolitan development alongside all major cities in the world.

charzyn: Yorubas should built the refinary first to prove that they have the oil and stop shouting and making noise . Anambra state built thier refinary first and commission it before making it known to people that they have belong to oil producing state. keep quiet and take action instead of making noise

Afam4eva!!!! This why you are made a moderator. Quickly ban this nuisance.

Osiris.211:


Bad balle things for 2013?

shymexx:

With the exception of Lagos, which non-oil producing state in Nigeria has managed to achieve any worthy development?? Now, add oil to the equation and see why Lagos is on the verge of being the New York of Africa...

Without oil, its GDP will surpass Johannesburg by 2014 - now add the oil to that!!

GAR3TH:

The Benin basin is in the Bright of benin. The bright of benin is the span of ocean that stretches from Ghana to Bayelsa state. It has nothing to do with the benin republic nor is it owned by them. Actually the bright of benin was named after the Bini Empire by the Portuguese, while the country [benin], formerly named Dahomey was renamed after the bright of benin years later.

@topic, Since the discovery and announcement of oil production in many new states, I wonder how the topic of resource control will play out.

alj harem:

true that's for you Nigerians to worry about not the SW people. Lol

And also stop saying ALL Nigerians would benefit from it because it is a lie.

CFCfan: The drilling oil in Lagos would also be a boost to aviation. Aviation fuel would become cheaper, which in turn, might lead to airfares of btw N5000 and N10,000 for round trips.

#Eko O Ni Baje

slim fit :
Ten years or even less from now no body would care about oil that's why I feel sorry for the south south, if you don't start developing your area now when oil has no value again no region will take you people serious again as a matter of fact you people wouldn't have any value again as a Nigerian. Make hays before or when the sun shine or how do you say it.awolowo used the west resources very well that's what made the south west stronger till today otherwise the yoruba people would have been a burden to the whole country just like our northern counterparts, no offence.

Lobolintin:
based on psychological observatn and consumptn... Lik countles africa countries nw produce oil at comercial quantiy.

sofeco: I hope Fashola go for third term.

CFCfan:

Yes oh. As Fashola would say, "EKO NI BAJE".

Oluremi Tinubu would continue from where BRF stopped on May 29, 2015. You heard it here first!
