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 Offor by Obasanjo .

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. |

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. |
