Oml's( Oil Mine Lease) In Nigeria, Who Is Fooling Who? And, Who's Loosing Out? by kingsle66(m): 4:24pm On Aug 22, 2013
OML's IN NIGERIA, WHO IS FOOLING
WHO? AND, WHO'S LOOSING OUT?
Please, carefully go through the list, how
many Niger Deltans can you find in it?
Funny enough these OML's are all located
in the Niger Delta but, owned, controlled
and hijacked by Non-Niger Deltans yet the
NASS is playing Politricks and Politics with
the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB),
wickedness.
The world's richest black woman made her
money here too (in the Niger Delta region,
through the OML's), what has she done for
the host Communities that gives her all
the monies that brought her to lime-light?
Have you asked how many Niger Deltans
own the OML's? Whose land is been
abused and tampered with without
replenishment? Why is the Nigerian State
so 'wicked and insensitive' to my people?
This is how these demi-gods make their
money at the expense of the poor Villager,
what a betrayal.
Are these people (the Niger Deltans) so
daft that they cannot control, manage or
own their resources or the OML's? Is this
fairness from this entrapment called
Nigeria? Do you think the BOKO BOYS
would have kept quiet should this happen
in their domain? Let us think devoid of
sentiments here....
Now, see the owners of the 20 most
Richest OML's in Nigeria below. Hmm, if
nothing is done, i see another set of fierce
'unrest' in the region, fiercer than the days
of arms struggle. Have you checked the OIL Companies
operating within the Niger Delta, how
many Niger Deltans are even employed by
them? How many are in top management
positions? Is this fairness? Why incarcerate
the people who produce about 95% of the
total annual income? Let us shun
sentiments, check these points raised,
they're not from the blues. Don't be an
ignoramus, check out.
The Nigerian Government should wake up
and be fair to the Niger Deltans too, let
local contents belong to the local contents.
Always,
MAOBUYE NANGI OBU
The Wondering Wanderer....
20 MOST RICHEST OML's IN NIGERIA AND
THEIR OWNERS...
(1) This oil block business is so lucrative
that Danjuma’s Sapetro divested of its
investment in Akpo condensate for
$1billion dollars. This business is second to
none in Nigeria. That is why any attempt to
investigate the activities in this sector will
always be futile. The money is so much
that they give bribes in millions of dollars.
A birthday gift or child naming gift from an
oil block owner to a government official
could be as paltry as $2million dollars, and
if the official’s father died, the condolence
gift could reach mere $3 million dollars.
When they want to bribe legislators, it is in
millions of dollars and any ongoing
investigation ends within weeks. They are
so confident that with excess money they
can buy up Nigeria and they are
succeeding.
(2) OML 110 with high yield OBE oil fields
was given Cavendish Petroleum owned by
Alhaji Mai Daribe, the Borno Patriarch in
1996 by Sanni Abacha. OBE oil field has
estimated over 500 million barrels of oil.
In layman’s language and using average
benchmark of $100 dollars per barrel,
translates to $50 billion dollars worth of oil
reserve. When you remove the taxes,
royalties and sundry duties worth about
60% of the reserve payable over time you
get about $20billion dollars worth of oil in
the hands of a family.
(3) OPL 246 was awarded to SAPETRO, a
company owned by General Theophilus
Danjuma, by Sanni Abacha in 1998. Akpo
condensate exports about 300,000 barrels
of crude daily.
(4) NOML 112 and OML 117 were awarded
to AMNI International Petroleum
Development Company owned by Colonel
Sanni Bello in 1999. Sanni Bello is an inlaw
to Abdulsalami Abubakar, former Head of
State of Nigeria.
(5) OML 115, OLDWOK Field and EBOK
field was awarded to Alhaji Mohammed
Indimi from Niger State. Indimi is an inlaw
to former Military President Ibrahim
Babangida. (14) OPL 286 is managed by Focus Energy
in partnership with BG Group, a British oil
concern. Andy Uba has stakes in Focus
Energy and his modus operandi is such that
you can never see his name in any listings
yet he controls OPL and OML through
proxies
(15)OPL 291 was awarded to Starcrest
Energy Nigeria Limited, owned by Emeka
Offor by Obasanjo . Immediately after the
award, Starcrest sold the oil block to Addax
Petroleum Development Company Limited
(ADDAX) Addax paid Sir Emeka Offor a
farming fee of $35million dollars and still
paid the signature bonus to the
government. Emeka Offor still retains
stake in ADDAX operations in Nigeria.
(16) Mike Adenuga’s Conoil is the oldest
indigenous oil exploration industry in
Nigeria. Conoil has six oil blocks and
exports above 200,000 barrels of crude
daily.
(17)The oil block national cake sharing
fiesta could take twists according to the
mood of the Commander-in –Chief at the
particular time. In 2006, Obasanjo revoked
OPL 246 which Abacha gave to Danjuma
because he refused to support the tenure
elongation bid of the Ota Majesty. In 2000,
Obasanjo had earlier revoked OPL 241
given to Dan Etete under the advice Atiku.
However, when the Obasanjo-Atiku faceoff
started, the Ota Majesty made a u-turn
and handed back the oil block to Etete.
(18)During the time of Late President
Yarádua , a panel headed by Olusegun
Ogunjana was set up to investigate the
level of transparency in the award of oil
blocks. The panel recommended that 25 oil
blocks awarded by the Obasanjo be
revoked because the manner they were
obtained failed to meet the best practices
in the industry. Sadiq Mahmood,
permanent secretary in the Ministry of
Petroleum endorsed the report to then
president with all its recommendations .
As a result of the report Yarádua revoked
eleven oil blocks.
(19) In April 2011 Mike Adenuga
attempted to buy Shell’s OML 30 for $1.2
billion dollars. The Minister for Petroleum
and Nigeria’s most powerful woman
refused the sale of the OML30 to Adenuga
citing national interest. This block was later
sold to Heritage Oil for $800 million dollars
eleven months later. (14) OPL 286 is managed by Focus Energy
in partnership with BG Group, a British oil
concern. Andy Uba has stakes in Focus
Energy and his modus operandi is such that
you can never see his name in any listings
yet he controls OPL and OML through
proxies
(15)OPL 291 was awarded to Starcrest
Energy Nigeria Limited, owned by Emeka

Petroleum Development Company Limited
(ADDAX) Addax paid Sir Emeka Offor a

citing national interest. This block was later
sold to Heritage Oil for $800 million dollars
eleven months later. (20) In the name of competitive bidding,
which Obasanjo introduced in 2005,
Officials bring companies overnight and
through processes best described as
secretive and voodooist they award blocks
to party faithful, fronts and phoney
companies. They collect gratifications
running into hundreds of millions of dollars
which is paid into an offshore account and
the nation loses billions of dollars of
revenue to private pockets.

Bros, that's the way the cookie crumbles.....just grin and bear it! If 'one Nigeria' is not sweeting you, it's sweeting someone else! wink

Unfortunately, the Ijaws accepted the "greek gift" of the Nigerian presidency. Saddening that a people that deserve so much would settle for a token. My thing is that no Emeka Offor, Mai Deribe or Adenuga has any right owning any of those fields. It is immoral that the Nigerian state will steal those fields from the owners and proceed to share it amongst the crooks that run it.
