thelastPope:

You better grow up fro these childlike stuff and open your blind eyes. You people betrayed us southerners in 1967 and you are doing it again! You think these northerners are your friends? You want to always play second fiddle and humble slaves. Always aligning with the thieving and demonic northern oligarcy to sabotage us! It is your threacherous way! No northerner will rule us till 2027! Shebi they say they will make the country ungovernable for us because a minority is in power and as usual, your people are their tool to achieve that? Let us see how they will come and rule us in piece again! Fingers crossed!

This senator is bloody liar and he got all of uptight and ready to crucify the NORTHERNERS just because a few of them collaborated with your folks to cheat the rest of us. North is very poor and one of the poorest arts of the world. 99.99% of northerners have no contact with oil money , they just grow onions and tomatoes to survive. This bloody senator just wants to incite even more hatred. Nonsense .

this is the price we have to pay after all our past military brothers ran away after Ironsi was killed by Danjuma.

They the northern took over this country; they run all the money making ventures in Nigeria from Oil to customs to all federal govt. parastals etc

This is the biggest Cabal in Nigeria. this is the biggest problem in Nigeria. This is one major reason why we cant build refineries because they own over 90% of all Petrol importation deals; etc....

until we the southern Nigeria wake from this lifes of all is well; God dey; God wll fight for us eventhough we are suffering badly; they will continue to run this nation dryyyyyyyy

Godogwu:

Nitwit, you should also read more, some people paid for oil blocks .... Does Alakija ring a bell?

You are a bloody foo.l. How did your Alakija buy the oil block?, was due process followed?, was he the only one that has money to buy.? does it mean no body from the host community has money to buy? how come people from Niger delta don't have oil blocks if there was tranperancy in the allocation or sale of the oil blocks? reasonable people are speaking out against delibrate injustice being done to the SS people and you are here posting trash. Just keep your stupi.d opinion to yourself.

Duru1:


Educated or not, the scenario occurs when a group of people cuts off its nose for despising its face. Nigeria precipitated war of attrition on Biafra simply because of crude oil. It is unfortunate that majority of southerners were moronically deceived into believing Ndigbo were about to dominate them.
All these craps about educated and cattle rearing mallams are hogwash and silly copout. You can not eat your cake and have it.

You are so undecided. You Greedy m0ron. Why didn't you fight for your own independence from the British? Why did you wait for the rest of Nigeria?

ABAKA72: You are a bloody foo.l.

Bloody liar. Who said Naija delta people don't have oil block? Don't believe that devilish senator.

Bloody liar. Who said Naija delta people don't have oil block? Don't believe that devilish senator.

BUT 83% OF THEIR WEALTH IS OWNED BY ABOKIS WHO GAVE IT OUT AS GIFT TO FAMILIES

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.
[b]Their inability to work as brothers has denied us of southern solidarity.They have also not provide us with much needed leadership to minority tribes in the [/b]south.It's sad.So sad.But God iam hopeful will definitely liberate his children at HIS own appointed time in Jesus name:can i hear somebody shout amen,if you believe only.

How did Jonathan a minority become the president of Nigeria if not the help of IGBOS, Igbos have always want to help SS but we allow SW trick us into stupidity. why did Ojukwu come to Ogoniland and tell them **Good morning** in the evening, because u guys are just waking up, SW think by betraying other Southerners they can benefit but I tell you all they have benefited is very small compared to if the southerners has existed without Northerners.

Duru1:



If you deduced in your infinite wisdom that northern region could have won the war alone, your imbecilic postulation of the spoils of the war could be relevant. In the other hand, I shall join you in the silly mockery of the majority of foolish southerners who joined the northern region of Nigeria to persecute a war against eastern region of Nigeria.

It gladdens my mind whenever I read from an Aboki of any class that tells the southerners to shut the hell up and enjoy their stupidity.

I know that the truth is bitter and sometimes difficult to swallow. My advise to you is that you should not allow your bigotry to cloud your better judgement.

Our best bet as Nigerians is to work together to get PDP and incompetent GEJ out of office come 2015.

It is only getting started. This revelation has been out in the open...nothing new.
Read George Alabo's account below :

[b]By Ross Alabo-George ACCORDING to official figures, the leading oil producing state, Rivers, received N1,053 billion between 1999 and 2008 in federal allocations. By contrast the North-eastern states of Yobe and Borno, where the Boko Haram sect was created, received N175bn and N213bn respectively. Broken down on a per capita basis, the contrast is even starker. In 2008 the 18.97m people who lived in the six states in the north-east received on average N1,156 per person. “By contrast Rivers State was allocated N3,965 per capita, and on average the oil producing South-South region received on average N3,332 per capita. This imbalance is compounded when the cost of an amnesty programme for militants in the delta is included together with an additional 1 per cent for a special development body for the Niger Delta. To boot, the theft of oil by profiteers in the region diverts tens of millions more weekly from federal coffers. – Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. YES, forget these per capita figures! I agree the North is poor. Yes, I agree the poverty has bred millions of destitutes, who have become instant and easy recruits for Boko Haram. But my question is: Who impoverished the North? A caveat: I am an unabashed capitalist who believes that every citizen has a right to do good business and make profit. I salute hard work and do not disparage honest efforts. However, uncompassionate capitalism driven by pulleys of aristocracy breeds a brutal class order worthy of condemnation. In my last article titled – ‘El Rrufai’s amnesia: The day Boko Haram Wore Jeans’, I categorically stated that greed and the senseless chase for power by the Fulani aristocrats and
political elite of the North are responsible for the extreme poverty of the North. I still and will always stand by that. My position did not go down well with my targets; they responded vituperatively. Mallam Sanusi’s statistics was intended to mislead us by ruffling the rudder of our common sense. See, Ekiti state has a 2012 budget 0f N88 billion; Kwara State, N90 billion; Cross River State, N144 billion; Anambra State, N82 billion; Enugu State, N74 billion. Now let’s look at the 2012 budgets recently passed into law by the four major Boko Haram occupied states – Kano State has a budget of N 210 billion; Borno State, 150 billion; Gombe, N94 billion; Yobe State, 80 billion. A simple comparative analysis shows that Ekiti State has about the same revenue as Yobe and Gombe, but only 17 students passed WAEC and NECO in Gombe state last year, while Ekiti is known for its high literacy level. Gombe State has a bigger budget that Enugu and Anambra, why has MASSOB not bombed anyone. Borno State has a budget twice that of Enugu State but the poverty and unemployment level in Borno State is more than thrice that of Enugu State. Borno has a bigger budget than a Niger Delta state – Cross River. While the leaders of Cross River over the last decade have transformed it into the nation’s leading tourist destination; those of Borno have transformed it into a Somalia. Kano State gets the highest statutory allocation from the Federal Government, because on paper Kano is the most populated state in Nigeria, yet Kano has about 1.6 million destitute Almajiris. Kano has a budget almost thrice the budget of Enugu, twice the budget of Kwara, Anambra and Ekiti, but how come almost 90 per cent of students in Kano fail WAEC? How come the poverty level in Kano is higher than all these states put together? Why is the North so poor? From the figures above I have shown that Southern states with lesser budgets have shown better development performance than most North Eastern states with bigger statutory allocation and budgets. Now, I need to tackle the sensitive question of revenue allocation that has infuriated the Mallam Lamido Sanusi and Mallam Elrufai and their likes. Niger Delta states get higher revenue allocation because they contribute virtually all the eggs in the national crate. That is expected. Albeit the 13 per cent remains grossly inadequate, the CBN Governor has suggested that his Boko boys are resisting the disparity. I want to posit that the North-East through their aristocrats and ex-military rulers (except Gen. Mohammed Buhari) rake in more oil money (from the Niger Delta) individually than any Niger Delta
state, and collectively more than twice the entire Niger Delta put together. In this disquisition, I have attempted to show that 80 per cent of crude oil and gas produced by indigenous companies is controlled by the North-East. It is an area they have well conquered through Generals IBB, Abacha and Abdulsalami. However, the loots never get back home. Uneven nature of the distribution In this first part I will attempt to describe the very uneven nature of the distribution of the nation’s wealth among the Northern aristocratic families and their military generals who for decades looted Nigeria. They did so blatantly, and while Nigeria was weeping about oil windfall loot and others, Nigerians would wail if they know how much of the nation’s resources these folks allocated to themselves and their business fronts before they stepped aside. Let us therefore begin: To the state of origin of Boko Haram: Borno State. Enter Cavendish Petroleum, the operators of OML 110 – with good yielding OBE field. This oil block was awarded to Alhaji Mai Deribe – the Borno patriarch, who even in death will remain the richest man dead or alive in the history of Borno State – by General Sani Abacha on July 8, 1996. OML 110 has a proven oil reserve in excess of 500 million barrels (more than the entire 300million barrels reserve of Sudan). As yet with the capacity to produce about 120,000 barrels of crude oil daily from its OBE 4 and OBE 5 wells. At optimal production levels, Cavendish nets circa N4billion monthly in crude oil sales (using current oil price of $100pb). Cavendish Petroleum’s N4bn monthly net dwarfs the monthly statutory allocation of Borno which is about N3bn and its internally generated revenue staggers around N1billion. His mansion in Maiduguri has become a tourist attraction. A simple Google search will throw up different perspectives of Mai Deribe’s palatial home. Enter Oriental Energy Resources Limited, a company owned by Alhaji Mohammed Indimi, a Fulani and close friend of General Ibrahim Babangida. Also worthy of note is that General IBB’s first son is married to Alhaji Mohammed Indimi’s daughter – Yakolo Indimi-Babangida, who also serves as a director in the company. Alhaji Indimi hails from Borno State. Good yielding offshore oil blocs
Oriental Energy Resources Limited runs three oil blocks: OML 115, the Okwok field and the Ebok field. OML 115 and Okwo are OML PSC, while Ebok is an OML JV. All of them good yielding offshore oil blocks. OML 115 on its own is 228 sqKm. On OML115 Oriental Energy Resources Limited has 60 per cent while Equity Energy Resources AS. On Okwok, Addax has 40 per cent and on the Ebok field, Oriental Energy Resources shares with none: its 100 per cent. AMNI produces twice as much as Cavendish Petroleum. I will then shift to the centre of the aristocratic hegemony in the North East – Kano. Here. Enter the Fulani Prince Nasiru Ado Bayero, Mallam (Prince) Sanusi Lamido Sanusi’s cousin. He is a key shareholder and director in Seplat/Platform petroleum operators of the Asuokpu/Umutu Marginal Field with a capacity of 300,000 barrels monthly and A 30mmfcsd gas plant capable of feeding 100MT of LPG. The Ado Bayeros, Yar’Aduas and Atiku Abubakar are Nigerian directors of Intels. It is a private port that has grounded three Federal ports in the South. Intels is discussed later. Enter South Atlantic Petroleum Limited (SAPETRO). South Atlantic Petroleum (SAPETRO) is a Nigerian Oil Exploration and Production Company that was created in 1995 by General T. Y. Danjuma. General Sani Abacha awarded the Oil Prospecting License (OPL) 246 to SAPETRO in February 1998. The block covers a total area of 2,590km2 (1,000 sq. miles). SAPETRO partnered with Total Upstream Nigeria Ltd (TUPNI) and Brasoil Oil Services Company Nigeria Ltd (Petrobras) to start prospecting on OPL246. Akpo, a condensate field was discovered in April 2000 with the drilling of the first exploration well (Akpo 1) on the block. Other discoveries made on OPL 246 include the Egina Main, Egina South, Preowei and Kuro (Kuro was suspended as a dry gas/minor oil discovery). Barrels of condensate In June 2006, General TY Danjuma divested part of its contractor rights and obligations to China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) for $1 billion (N160bn). Akpo exports about 230,000 barrels of condensate daily. Condensate export is not regulated by OPEC, so SAPETRO/TOTAL exports as much as possible each day. Egina exports about 75,000 barrels of oil daily. Therefore, Akpo and Egina fields export just over 300,000 barrels of oil/condensate daily (three times what the country Ghana exports). SAPETRO (TY Danjuma) get 25 per cent of this. Now, note I have not talked about the gas component – it’s about 2.5 trillion cubic feet. The money SAPETRO
nets each month is more than the monthly statutory allocation of all the Niger delta states combined and also more than the oil revenue of Ghana. Do your maths. Enter AMNI (or is it AMIN?) International Petroleum Development Company. AMNI owns two oil blocks – OML 112 and OML 117. In the production sharing contract, AMNI gets 60 per cent for owning the oil block and Total gets 40 per cent for providing technical advice. OML 112 was awarded on the 12/02/1998 while OML 117 was awarded 06/08/1999 all by Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar. Operations started on both blocks 0n 26/02/2006. The licenses are due to expire 11/02/2018 and 05/08/2019 respectively. (Now you see why the next election is important?) The Okoro and Setu fields in OML 112 are operated by Afren Energy, a company substantially controlled by Rilwanu Lukman. The Okoro and Setu oil fields have about 50 million barrels in reserve and currently produce/exports just a little below 20,000 barrels per day. The chairman of AMNI International Petroleum and Development Company is Alhaji (Colonel) Sani Bello a Fulani from Kontagora, Niger State. Lest I forget, Alhaji Bello’s son – Abu, is married to General Abdusalami Abubakar’s eldest daughter. Enter Express Petroleum and Gas Limited floated by Alhaji Aminu Dantata. General Abacha awarded him OML 108 on the 1st of November, 1995. CAMAC Houston, a company owned by Kase Lawal bought 2.5 per cent of Express Petroleum’s 60 per cent holdings. The other 40 per cent on OML 108 is owned Sheba E&P Limitedi. SEPCOL operates the Ukpokiti offshore field in Shallow water Nigeria, which was acquired from ConocoPhillips in May 2004. Enter Shebah Exploration And Production Limited (SEPCOL) . It is the operator of the Oil Mining License 108 offshore Nigeria. Head office is in Lagos, but ‘head quartered’ in Minna. Enter Consolidated Oil. Conoil Producing Limited is an integrated upstream oil and gas company. They are the operator of six blocks in the Niger Delta as well as 25 per cent Equity holder in the Joint Development Zone (JDZ) Block 4. Corporate Head office is in Lagos, but its ‘Headquarters’ is in Minna, Niger State. Conoil signed a technical operator agreement with Continental Oil and Gas Limited (CONOG) to provide 100% funding and technical service agreement to operate blocks OML 59 on a 40 per cent (Conoil) / 60 per cent (CONOG) basis. Conoil entered into a Production Sharing Contract with the NNPC by virtue of an agreement executed on October 17, 2008.
Conoil’s has overall potential hydrocarbon resources of over 1.0 billion barrels of oil and 7.0 trillion cubic feet of gas. General Ibrahim Babangida awarded the first oil bloc to Conoil in 1991. The company produces about 100,000 barrels per day. Enter Rilwanu Lukman, another Fulani multimillionaire with controlling holdings in Afren, the operators of AMNI oil blocks and also with very key interest in the NNPC/Vitol trading deal, Vitol is a London based oil trading company. Vitol lifts 350,000 barrels of crude oil daily from Nigeria. Enter Intels and the Yar’Adua, Ado Bayero family and Alhaji Abubakar Atiku. The Oil and Gas Free Zone and Oil Services Centres, as well as support bases, are operated from government-owned facilities, leased to Intels under long-term agreements. Intels runs a ‘private port’, a venture that has systematically killed the Calabar, Warri and Port Harcourt ports. More money in profit There are over one hundred major companies operating at the Intel facility in Port Harcourt. The company makes more money in profit than the government of Rivers, Bayelsa and Delta states put together. I shall give details and figures in part two of this disquisition. Finally, let me introduce you to NorthEast Petroleum. The name is as clear as the message it sends. I do not need to write so much about NorthEast Petroleum registered as NorEast. NorthEast Petroleum Nigeria Limited is the holder of OPL215 license, covering an area of 2,564 square kilometres in water depths between 200 to 1600 metres. NorEast is the parent company of Rayflosh Petroleum Nigeria which got the 2005 bidding round and was awarded the blocks OPLs 276 and 283 closing thereupon a Joint Venture Agreement with Centrica Resources Nigeria Limited and CCC Oil and Gas. Not surprising, NorthEast Petroleum is owned by another Fulani businessman from the North East, Alhaji Saleh Mohammed Jambo. The license was awarded to him by General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida in 1991 and then renewed in 2004. So far $50million has been spent on the very promising Okpoi-1 and Egere -1 exploratory well. In the Part II, we shall finish the discussion. We will table other North Eastern billionaires who make more money than their states of origin from Niger Delta oil blocks.
With all these oil blocs owned by ‘North- Easterners’ in the Niger Delta, it should be clear to El-Rufai and Sanusi who really benefits from the Niger Delta Amnesty Programme. Sadly, the National Bureau of Statistics Poverty Profile Report just released shows the North East as the poorest region in the nation with 69.1 and 76.3 as absolute and relative poverty levels respectively, while the South-West had the lowest poverty profile with 49.8 as absolute poverty level and 59.1 relative poverty level. With these figures from the National Bureau of Statistics, I rest my case. The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty. Let us reason together[/b]

My SS people north really used us no matter how we view it

Stupid people. So 83% of oil blocks are owned by northerners. And out of the five names the extinguished senator mentioned, four are northerners. Yeah i think the math is indeed correct. Why the senator didn't tell us how many oil blocks we have, and the names of their owners beats my imagination. Abi we have only 5 oil blocks in 9ja? Why are southerners easily blinded by crass hatred when those responsible for their plight live within their midst?

nagoma:

You are so undecided. You Greedy m0ron. Why didn't you fight for your own independence from the British? Why did you wait for the rest of Nigeria?

Who is undecided about the jungle called Nigeria? You dumbass fool will not be able to acknowledge greedy jackasses from northern region of Nigeria even if they were planted on the dirty ridge of your nose. When did the rest of Nigeria pitch battle against British during your imagery wars of independence? If the struggle for Nigeria’s independence was left in the dirty hands of Aboki from northern region of Nigeria, British would have been riding a colonial roughshod on our collective backs, olodo.

.

Ewu n'ebe akwa, kparanuma.
Aturu n'eti nkpu, karanuma

Pls let the wealth be distributed equally among the 6 zones then justice would be done to address injustice boko boys and their sponsors claim to be reason for terror they unleash on other citizens. Pls divide it equally this time around.

Who are these people?

I know that the truth is bitter and sometimes difficult to swallow. My advise to you is that you should not allow your bigotry to cloud your better judgement.

Our best bet as Nigerians is to work together to get PDP and incompetent GEJ out of office come 2015.

What truths are you insinuating that are bitter to swallow? The Biafrans knew Nigeria is a pretentious wasteland being deceitfully amalgamated for all the wrong reasons. It is beyond the pale of my imagination that a right thinking human will insinuate that PDP of yesteryears is the progenitor of Nigeria’s woes rooted in greed, deceit, nepotism, tribalism and religious intolerance.

If the call for disintegration of useless piece of wasteland such as Nigeria is an act of bigotry, I had worn it as a badge of honor. I have no business working for the goods of the deceitful northern region of Nigeria.

TUMIC: And yet they call Northerners MUMU!
Now my fellow Southerners,
WHO IS THE MUMU?

I talk long ago, dem say I dey over react!

muktar mtt: But we r smart 2 get 98% of oil block dumb person cnt not dat so stop foolyn ur self bro wake frm ur dream land is not d world u aready knw Aboki is beyoung of expectaintion
Hahaha funy u wat d u tink asari dukubu will do dey all fighting 4 thr pocket not ppl but u r so dumb 2 understand dat keep dreaming

Do not add adenuga to your list because his oil blocs are located with the territory of the southwest namely ondo and Lagos .in fact he first struck oil in ondo state. While not a fan of these rightwing capitalist,it is a fact that unlike the others, he has actually invested his money in the country ,created and spread his wealth a lil bit.

shymexx:

Nah, next time don't tell me your status... I never asked you if you're rich or poor, and I'm allergic to stupidity and showing off... The real rich people don't make noise about it, they let the money do the talking... Money talks, bullshyte walks...

Gbam!!!!

Why are some of Igbo brothers saying Good morning to the Ibibio senator?

The Ibibios were our closest allies. It is a shame that many of their oil blocs were giving to these Northern parasites.

I think civil societies, lawyers, etc from oil producing states should approach Supreme court and obtain an injunction for the FG to get back Ϯh℮ oil wells these Men got during Ϯh℮ Military Regime.

EzeUche: Why are some of Igbo brothers saying Good morning to the Ibibio senator?

I wonder!!! Ha amaro ihe

The Northern elite only understand one thing is power. And they mastered it better than any other group. They know they have a willing ally in the Yoruba.

I think some Yoruba elements see the Hausa as kin through religion. And that is foolish thinking. Just look at this new APC creation!

Maybe the Northeners will manage these oil blocks better. What‘s the hullabaloo all about?

Fhemmmy:

Any reason why?

Because it was illegal. Now what kind of question is that?

Only God will punish cheaters

genxris: We need more fearless and outspoken legislators like senetor Ita Enang in Nigeria who always speak out the truth without fear or favour. This is why I prefer new breed politicians in Nigeria who will be more courageous to speak on burning issues and not all those old recycled politicians who only remain in politics to cover their dirty past tracks with that of their associates.
Mr President should revoke all oil well licences and share it using national character principle.
The northerners have always cheated other parts of Nigeria right from time.

In Qater oil blocks are designated or attached to national projects ..like education, health,etc not to individuals thereby storing up for their future generations , that is why their children(citizens) can never be poor..cant our leaders look in this direction and assign our oil wells to specific projects rather than selling it to themselves selfishly..

EzeUche: The Northern elite only understand one thing is power. And they mastered it better than any other group. They know they have a willing ally in the Yoruba.

Shut your trash about Yoruba this Yoruba that. Before the civil war, there was a balance of power. When your brother launched a silly doomed to fail secession bid against all advice to tread with caution, what exactly was on his mind? That the equation would return to Pre-war era after woeful defeat? It takes a sober deeper reflection to realize the balance of power was badly altered after the war that the North essentially appropriated Nigeria completely.

I laughed sometimes when you folks called Yorubas cowards. Is the Niger Delta not aware of Northern domination of oil industry and yet acceded to crumbs in the name of amnesty? Essentially, they were bribed to forget the nonsensical resource control trash they were hyping about. Perhaps the Yorubas forced them to toe that line. Even now that they have a sitting president in Aso Rock, what has changed in the region? Infrastructure there is parlous, security there is a mess and there is even no massive investment to put the region on the path of progress. What is he up to? What can he do? A clueless deadwood of a president.

Leave Yorubas out of your mess, at least we also cornered about 18% of the allocation and I know if the real list is released we might have up to 25%. Which essentially translates to SW gets its share while the North pockets the rest. We ll continue to negotiate to expand our share of the oil. Follow your clueless leaders who are ways too dead intellectually to put their region on a strategic edge in national politics. We are not interested in a sour soup. GEJ's soup is sour for the Yorubas. We won't shout for your support if you can't do anything for us. We won't follow Azikwe Jonathan blindly if there is nothing there for us.

As for APC, it's a child of necessity. Since to some of you, the North is evil, bad, useless, parasitic and dumb, why don't you launch a political party that excludes the North and see how you ll fare? APC is an alliance between the Yorubas and the North? Then what's PDP? An alliance between what and what?

People! You have seen clearly why the likes of MALAM HELL RUFAI aka NDU_CHUCKS will never wast time to threaten anyone, and start hurling camel and donkey loads of insults at anyon who dares to talk about people going their seperate ways.

They know very well the half and full open evil they have been inflicting on those they love see as the second class citizens.

Not even mention their secret evil upon the people for decades.
