Why should the country's oil blocks be owned by individuals? Possibly, some of these names are fronting for people whose names do not appear in nay thing! Why should we not have trusts owning these blocks and responsible to every Nigerian? |

And they want 10% of that money too. They are just making it difficult for Nigeria to even fink of electing dem for 2015, hw u claim federal character when u hav owned n run the country like ur personal kingdom n when jonna start na dem be first to cry out inequality. Keep opening una belle as much as I neva want to c a Northerner rule I rather stay with jonna jt to prove a point (dat d NorthWho is Dreaming of electing them in 2015! With all these lopsided coefficients ? To be honest, with all these revelations we are witnessing. It shows that God himself expedited the fast tracking of GEJ into ASO ROCK b/c these LEECHES perused the constitution from front to back in order to extend their atrocious cruelty but found none yet the constitution was by them & for them. Same way it will be for those that believe some regions are not capable of producing Presidooo ! When it's time they will be the one to WHIP their nuclear and extended families into line. 1 Like |

evryday: As long as the Yorubas and the Igbos continue in their foolishness,otherwise called supremacy battle,the North will continue to dominate all of us.Each time this two otherwise intelligent tribes fight,i feel seriously pained,while the North laugh at their stupidity.For instance,just post any material regarding the civil war,smartly,the North will not comment.The Yorubas will foolishly shoot it down.Similarly,post negative news item about the Yorubas,the North will keep mute.Expectedly,Igbos will go into battle.The inability to burst the notion of a higher population up north it is, at least to me, once we can get good population figure for the whole of Nigeria, then we are on our way to checking their grip on power. |

It is only people that are yet to understand the dynamics of Nigeria's oil politics and ownership that will be surprised at the senator's revelation. Reality is begining to set in for the Naija Deltans whose elders am sorry to say, can be uneccessarily petty and sentimental. Until recently, they did not even understand the people that were truly ripping them off and serving them crumbs. The other time I was discussing with my Uncle's friend in oil and gas, the guy was like complaining that Yoruba guys had forced some of the Igbo and SS heads at NNPC, and his filling station is having problems getting fuel on time from some of the marketers and Depots. He was in partnership with NNPC for a while but was forced out by the tribal politics at play, now he is with Oando and in a way is still complaining. That explains why even though the oil is from the East, it is only in the East that one is likely to pay more money per litre of fuel. During my service in Sokoto state, I got an insight into the politics of oil subsidy. In the village where I served, Sabon Birnin LGA, you will that that from the market place to say 2km-3km stretch of distance, there are about 10 filling stations, yet the roads do not get much traffic to warrant such a high concentration of filling stations in such a short stretch of the road. Funny enough, many of these filling stations are not your regular filling stations, they do not even sell fuel per se but their tankers are always offloading at the stations. Curiously, Sabon Birnin is a has border villages to Niger, people come in from Niger to buy our subsidized fuel at probably a higher rate per gallon, in one particular occassion, I saw this particular trailer loader with 30-40litre gallons filling up at the station. It was then it dawned on me that these guyz did not actually open these filling stations because the business was booming, even in border towns 2-3hrs away from Sokoto Town, they were preferably selling to Nijerians from across the boarders-black market in large scale. The filling statations probably gives them more licence to buy fuel in bulk and store in their reserviors. Funny enough, I doubt if any of these filling station have done caliberation, leak or even pressure tests before setting up, they are probably not in the rada of regulatory bodies like DPR and co. This trend is noticeable mostly in border towns and villages to other countries. And you wonder why they were one of the most fierce opposition to the subsidy removal, many of their people even died in the process. Jonathan to them is a threat to their continous control of the oil blocs, by 2015, many of the oil bloc licences issued will expire, a Jonathan government is not likely to continue this lopsided ownership or extend many of these licences that were fraudulently given to them by the government of IBB,BUHARI,ABACHa and co. The northern politicians are no stewpid afterall but their greed will unrattle even their allies in the south to the point issues like this one will start taking the driver's seat at debates in the NA. Jonathan's presidency with the unfettered suuport from the SE especially is beginining to open the eyes of the Niger Deltans, thanks to the youth unrestiveness in the region, even the elders were too cowardly to address such issues. 7 Likes |

And i continue to ask..how do we have more people in Northern deserts than in Southern rainfall forest?.It defies all anthropological and geographical logic and theories. I did my service year in the north. You could drive for 3hours and all you see by the roadside is one or two huts(equal to 4 LGAs) inhabited by nomads. All you have is landmass not population. Niger has 2 times more landmass than Northern Nigeria but their population is just 15million but Northern Nigerians claim they are 75-80million how? nagoma: 1 Like |

This isn't about North against South!! They should revoke all oil licenses. All of it. Let all come and prove they legitimately bought the licenses. Let Adenuga and the rest come and tell us they legitimately bought those oil blocs. Privatization coupled with corruption!!!!!!! Give the oil blocs back to the communities!!! Let the communities decide who the government should give license to. So Sanusi that has been making noise also own an oil bloc? Or is it another Sanusi I'm reading about? |

bigcycs: Well der you have it. Stuff we have always known now presented in printed facts. My brother you are on point while studying abroad I had a first hand encounter with children of these northern elites, the way they spend money like water, one of my hausa friend spends more than $ 10 000 as monthly allowance without including accomodation expenses, they had this kind too important air and looked down on those of us from the south in the same school. getting job is not a problem for them msot of them came back and are working in all these oil companies, one that we shared the same apartment with in college was taken up by LNG immediately while me getting job was hard if not for the support of my family now running succesful internatonal bussiness. The issue is that we are in the same country but not equal, they are the ones that run everything in this country, but those in the south are still blind to this. |

Sanusi has been accused by a fellow northerner in the House of Reps of beign a boko sponsor. That guy comes on stage to claim he is pro-people,revolutionary, socialist an all jargons. I daresay he is a Capitalist and an Islamic fundamentalist to the core, he is educated and that makes him even more dangerous. He has only one major aim-to Northernize the banking sector.We should be very wary of him. He is a person of "concern". 0lumide: This isn't about North against South!! |

oka4bartho: PLS CAN SMBODY EXPLAIN TO ME WAT AN OIL BLOCK MEANS N HOW IT IS ACQUIRED? ^^^Simple really.....an oyel block is a license to make money like it's going out of fashion, and it's acquired by either being in the corridors of power or knowing somebody in the corridors of power; you stand a better chance of owning one if you are a former soldier that fought in the civil war on the side of 'Nigeria'.

Did anyone notice how during that Fuel subsidy in the NORTH, the almighty BOKOHARAM never struck? Even when it was reported that people-both christians and muslims slept on the streets, at a point Christians were reported to stand gurad when the Muslims prayed and vice versa? In all of these, an opportunity for the blood thirsty edddiots parading as BokoHaram to strike and waste people en mass, we never heard shot let alone a bomb blast. Yet these Northern elites want us to believe that BokoHaram was as a result of poverty wrecked on the poor. Na person wey never understand Naija politics na im go come here dey shout GEJ blablabla, the man knows what he is doing very well, he is slowly but surely dismantling the the influence of the Northern Oligarchy through his silence and reluctance to go with popular opinions echoed mostly in the SW. Imagine filling stations in the East having difficult to get fuel on a steady basis from major marketers and even NNPC, WHY? Na them dominate the Oil industry. Fuel in Sokoto state sells 98N per litre in most filling station but in the East, it is the opposite. I used to think it was as a result of greed from our own markerters but when I started working closely with these folks I discovered it was all politics. They don't control nothing! Most of the major marketers and the people at the heads of department are not even people from the region that are supposed to be controlling things. It will take time to even out this unequal and dishonest distributions. Bad enough, common folks in the north do not even benefit from these largesse. They are instead further impoverished and deliberately kept at a literate leve that will not make them understand the goings-on by their own leaders know how inhibitive the islamic religion is, these folks wont take a chance either compared to their counterparts in the South. 1 Like |

I know my comment will be hidden as usual but let me still say this, Did'nt the SS say that Ojukwu was fighting the war b/c he wanted to take over the oil deposit in their land? Hence they joined the north in killing over 2million Ojukwu brothers to make sure that the North instead of Ojukwu take over their oil. This is so b/c the present situation has been there since the end of the war and the ss enjoyed it since the oil is not in Ojukwu's hand. So why the complain now?
