looplat: Ibos are always happy to join the bandwagon and declare their region as an oil producing but Ondo state alone produces more oil than the whole of SE and ethnic Ibos in the SS. Edo state also produces more oil than the SE, so why are Ibos always shouting about oil?

We all know that the oil producing areas of both Rivers and Akwa Ibom are not ethnically Ibo. It's time to expose the Ibo myth in Delta state.

The oil producing local government areas are in Delta state are: Warri North and South, Burutu, Isoko North and South, Ughelli North and South, Okpe, Ethiope East and West, Sapele and Ndokwa East and West. Ndokwa people migrated from Benin according to this history and they are no Ibos. The remaining local governments are occupied by Urhobo, Isoko, Itsekiri and Izon.

Ibos where is your oyel?

Eziachi:
Wow! this doesn't sound like you. What happened? I knew you got it in you but only a victim of been ethnimatized ( ) by Nairaland.

dayokanu:

I am not agreeing or disagreeing with the OP but at the minimum he should have fact and stats to back it up and not expect us to just believe it because he typed it

pazienza:
Coming to SE, we don't have oil,yet we want out of nigeria,doesn't that tell you that we believe that we can do without oil?
We have some oil in imo and few in abia,with anambra boasting of some quantities too, but there is more to igboland than presence or lack of oil. What makes most nation great is not really natural resources(though natural resources is an added bonus),what make most nations great is the quality of their human resources,this is what we have in abundance in igboland. What we need is a conducive enviroment,(free of the paranoia and fear of domination of other nigerian groups,that breeds the pull him down spirit),to harness the potentials of our rich human resources,under a competent leadership,to build an igbo country we can be proud of.

You should be thinking the same for your ethnic group,and not spending time worrying about igboman's problem.

Omo_Tier1:
Oben and Oredo alone produce more oil than the whole of SE. #Facts. Oredo has one of the biggest gas field yet untapped by NPDC. Go figure..

Abagworo: People seem to mistake offshore oil with actual oil found on people's soil. The oil and gas belt is clear as day and covers the area between Aba and Warri. Owerri, Onitsha, Uyo and Benin are at the fringe.

Sunny_bobo: @Op, You forgot to state that the oil producing area of Ondo state is actually the Ijaw area and not Yoruba.

Ngwakwe: Local firm, Addax, strikes oil in Imo
Nigeria's oil and gas industry has recorded another landmark, with Addax Petroleum announcing an onshore oil discovery from the Njaba 2 well (formally Okaka) currently drilling in the eastern part of the OML124 license area of Imo State. Addax Petroleum has a 100 per cent working interest under a Production Sharing Contract (PSC) covering the Oil Mining License 124 (OML124) area, whereby the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is the concessionaire. The new discovery may likely become one its largest fields in Nigeria. Addax currently produces approximately 6000 barrels per day from the Ossu and Izombe fields in OML124, which is located within Imo State. President and Chief Executive Officer of Addax, Mr. Jean Claude Gandur said, "I am extremely proud to report an excellent start in 2009 with this successful exploration result in Nigeria as it is a leading discovery that has the potential to be one of our largest fields in Nigeria. The Njaba discovery is the first exploration well to be drilled in OML124 since the mid-80's and these results will increase the production potential of the license area considerably, as well as significantly upgrade the remaining undrilled prospects

Who are ndokwa people? I had never heard of an igbo group by the name ndokwa,but if you mean the local government of my favourite igbo musician Ali chukwuma, then i guess you meant to say ukwuani,(ndokwa is but an lga in ukwuani) and yes,they are igbos. Igbos came from different places in the past,only central igbo groups around okigwe-orlu axis claim to have been in igboland as long as they can remember.

On rivers state,you might need to check out Oyigbo lga,they are asa and ndoki tribes of the igbo nation,and the remainder of their people are found in ukwa east and ukwa west of abia state,it was oil politics that was aimed at depriving SE( east central) of any oil producing community that placed them in rivers state, same with egbema in rivers. Coming to SE, we don't have oil,yet we want out of nigeria,doesn't that tell you that we believe that we can do without oil?
