It's a matter of time , not only Bida basin but also Sokoto, Benue and borno have huge deposits of oil and gas and all the 19 northern states have large deposits of precious minerals and then we can see where the Niger Delta will get food from- Greedy lazy lot. They could not fight for separate independence from British rule and now they insist that Nigerian national resources belongs to them alone.

toothpaste: To give aboki crude oil

In such a volatile region. That would simply provide more funds for boko namas

Aboki doesn't deserve hydrocarbon. Give him gworo

eGuerrilla: In his remark, Governor Aliyu said he would not want to politicise the matter,

eGuerrilla: He said the delay may have something to do with the non-passage of the Petroleum Industrial Bill(PIB)

solomon111: it is very obvious why God did not bless some regions with oil.
Their wickedness would have been unprecedented.
And yes,IT IS NIGER-DELTA OIL,jump into the lagoon if you don't like the fact.

solomon111: you must be an illiterate.
The topography and geographical composition of the north does not support oil formation.
I wonder why you're not bothered that we've been wasting money exploring for oil in impossible places.
Ethnic Bigotry has degraded your mind.

chinziaski: We Nigerians are very dumb. I am serious.
We heard a goodnews about oil been found in some of our states, it became tribal war in nairaland.

This same mistake our father made, we want to make thesame?
This stupidity should stop brothers, you can fight all you want but you can't change one thing, we stuck together.

You all see the light at the end of this beautiful tunnel; taraba, sokoto, benue, maiduguri, etc having oil creates more employment and we can use the 70percent gas it supplies to end our power problem.

If these states utilize their oil, migration to lagos and some cities will be drastically reduced. Our hausa brothers will have respite and stop carrying bag of garri and other things for people. They will have to embrace education.

We should embrace this development with open arms.
More Nigerians should go into the building of refineries. They should make the building of refineries a communal project. Like buying shares, so that we can indirectly eat from these resources ourselves and not depend on government.

God created this country as a perfect country, a country to admire. We have changed it to a country to run from.

Let's embrace unity, its in unity we will grow

Donmams: Hmmm. Can't wait for the country to be divided. Soon oil will be explored in the north and all those fools thinking that the north will be destroyed if we go our separate ways will be put to shame! In addition, we still maintain 70% of the country's landmass, agriculture will boom and the hydro electricity supply will be cut off to the south. That will mean 24 hour electricity for the north! Abeg GEJ hurry divide the country sharp sharp

RedBenson: But come to think of it! This might just be true. Now that we southerners are exploring our oil and these bigoted parasitic northerners are reaping where they did not sow, if peradventure Nigeria divides and our (southerners) oil starts drying up (God forbid), then these boko haramas start exploring thier own oil, dont we think these people will enjoy thier crude oil assets all alone meanwhile they're parasites when we were exploring ours? I think we need to ponder on this and perhaps stop these fools from benefitting from OUR OYEL. Let them go and start exploring thier oil (if they have any).

Orlando Owoh:
Keep dreaming. Northern states have oil deposits and other natural resources that have been left unexplored. By the time the crude oil of the Niger Delta dries up, as it non-renewable, the north will start exploring their own. However, they will ensure they control it.

nagoma:

@"Reaping where they did

Do Niger Deltans saw anything at all in their livelihood? Are there any farms there? Did they farm the oil? They are lazy food gathers who depend entirely on the wild. Fish and palm trees. Even the Ogogoro they take everyday is from the wild .They never grow or breed anything and they now think our national mineral belongs to them only just because their raffia huts happen to be near the oil fields.Bloody obligate parasites.

NNPC Hides Facts On Oil Production - Gov Aliyu

October 9, 2013 - 3:56am



The governor of Niger State Dr. Muazu Babangida Aliyu has accused Nigeria National Petroleum Cooperation (NNPC) of not disclosing the actual quantity of crude oil accruable to the country on daily basis.

This is just as he accused the federal government of halting oil exploration in the Bida basin.

Aliyu, who stated this yesterday while receiving the House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum Down stream led by its chairman, Hon. Dangogo Peterside, on a visit, also stated that no part of the country should be afraid of disintegration.

The governor stated that the NNPC was not declaring the actual production figures of oil per day and as such the organisation should be reorganised for more efficiency and productivity.

“Nobody knows how much oil is being produced in Nigeria”, he said while taking a swipe at the corporation for complicity in the incidence.

Reacting to the disclosure by the Commissioner for Mineral Development in the state Engineer Jibrin Abubakar that a committee on oil exploration in Bida had discovered that the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources was deliberately hindering exploration processes in the basin, Aliyu said the delay may be due to non-passage of the Petrol Industry Bill into law.

According to him, it has been established that oil deposit in the basin was of commercial quantity, saying that if Niger Republic and Chad had hit oil in large quantities, the prospects of oil in the north and in Niger State in particular should not be in doubt.

Earlier, the commissioner of mineral development had said, “We set up committee to find out what was happening after several months of not hearing from the ministry and we discovered that the letter was still on the minister’s table.”

According to him, the state cannot proceed to the next because approval was not granted.

Meanwhile, Aliyu also said that no community in Nigeria should be afraid of separation.

He said: “If some people want to go, they should go, we will survive. We are not scared of separation. The same was said of Niger Republic. Niger was the poorest country in the world, but today, if you see oil in Kano, Kaduna, Sokoto and Maiduguru, it would have come from Niger Republic. There is no way Niger and Chad can have oil and improve their economy and the north will not be able to do the same.”

However, the House Committee chairman, Hon Peterside, disagreed with Aliyu, saying it was unfair for anyone to say that the amount of oil being produced in the country was not known.

According to him, the problem was that of oil theft an effort must be put in place to ensure that oil theft is curtail.

Swiftboy: we should be glad there's oil all over Nigeria! Tribalism and religion differences should be lay aside.Lets use our head! We cant progress apart! Let me tell you,there's oil all over Nigeria even in the West and midle-belt! So whats the point? Beside having oil does not mean wealth all by itself! What you do with it is what determine the outcome.We youth should not make the mistakes of our fathers! We should learn to forgive and forget.Oh let me remind you,there are other alternative sources of energy.The USA are not drilling more oil fields cos there're safer and cleaner energy.You're here chewing each other out like primitive aborigins. Civilization is long past the stupid ethnicity brutality of the past! The world is becoming trans-cultural so cut the crap and lets say things that uplift the great nation God has given us! Cant you see we cant divide? The rivers cant separate us,June 12 cant seperate us,mend cant seperate us and not even boko haram can! Those nation that seperated are the any better? Germany's broke the literal wall,let us break our walls.NIGERIA! Great nation...GREAT PEOPLE! One Love!

Why didn't you get your independence from the British , you cowardly lazy lot. We shall see that you don't continue vandalizing the oil pipelines because we will need them in the near future to pump our sewage back to your filthy envinronment.

Me_Aboki:

First of all, if you took offence to my post (which I suspect you actually did) then I'll advise you take it up with your brother for provoking me into responding in like manner.

Secondly, you have nothing to educate me concerning the issue at hand - which essentially was about the (false) sense of superiority expressed in the provoking post.
Unfortunately, adducing the sharing of the oil blocs to military power (as you put it) is an inadvertent admission to the superiority of the 'abokis' - that you guys so much despise.

Thirdly, Christianity has nothing to do with you ppl being peaceful (which isn't exactly true) while the same argument about the minority being involved in blowing up of pipelines can also be made concerning insurgents (BH) in the north, who incidentally are also in the minority.
Besides, if you ppl are so law abiding then why is criminality so rampant in the south: if its not kidnapping, it is armed robbery or ritualism, bunkering, drugs, prostitution, 419 ect - just to name a few.

Lastly, northerners are by no means parasites: you guys like to use this a lot, especially when referring to oil forgetting the fact that northerners who own majority of the blocs are in fact more involved in the oil production than southerners; also that it was the oyinbo man who discovered the oil, invested his money and technology into producing it; and is merely paying royalties (taxes) to the Nigerian government who in turn share it between its composite states (yeah, sharing - thats what you hate the most - cos you are damn too greedy).
The question therefore remains, where along the line are your own ppl's effort in generating this oil wealth, where is your industry or investment in it? Did you, your father, grandfather or ancestors plant this oil under the soil where the oyinbo found it? So what gives you the audacity to call anybody parasite, what are you producing that northerners are parasitizing on?
On the contrary, if anyone is parasitic its the southerners who pack themselves over to the north, abandoning (supposedly home sweet home) for the inhospitable desert north amid the threat of hostile boko boys, as economic refugees?
Go figure why they wouldn't go back, why leave the land of honey and oyel for poverty stricken almajiri arewa land?

Remember, for every finger of blame three are also pointing back at you - just food for thought.






Of course not, you resemble a bush monkey, a cannibalistic one with prominent canine teeth for effective tearing of the flesh of your unfortunate victim.

solomon111: Nonsense!
We've wasted billions of naira exploring for oil in the desert,all because these abokis are obsessed with oil.
All those money gone down the drain with no single drop of oil in sight.

Mr Philips you write well, I was reading your biased write up on Ngige. Was that the reason for demanding I should tell you about Fidelity bank merger? Peter Obi is the greatest thief to emerge from Nigeria, that his criminal agenda was the only reason he schemed out Soludo Solution can't be disputed. Ngige is more intelligent than Obi and his Stooge put together, he is more energetic, Besides he loves his people
You don't need to call anybody illiterate, just present your opinion, somebody might be educated by it Full stop

spacechuks: I will pardon your ignorance because U̶̲̥̅̊ abokis lack good education.who fought for the independence?let me tell U̶̲̥̅̊ ,southern resisted the british govt which led to plethora of killings,go to benin where d binis dug large drenches to ambush the british soldiers,the oba of benin was taken to exile and killed there just because the south never wanted the british govt.I believe Anthony Enahoro who was one of the fore runners of independence is from the south.However you illiterate,stinking and smelling abokis accepted the british and when the british was leaving,they compensated you guys by giving power to you ppl afta forceful almagamation in 1914.the british also compensated you northerners by inflating your population census so that more allocation will go to you guys.the british are the cause of the problem we r facing today,and ppl like you who dnt know the history of Nigeria come here and spew nonsense from your toothless mouth.you ppl keep defending your bokos boys killing innocent southerners(that was even part of what led to the civil war) and we must let you knw,we r nt fools,christainity is not a foolish religion,you and your ppl leave peacefully and do biz peacefully here in the south while our brodas in the north live in trepidation.can you come out and tell us what dis your bokos brodas are clamouring for,the oil money that we share with them is not ok for them abi? Or what else do they want.♍Ɣ militant brodas here are clamouring for a better live,mind you some of this militants are well educated more than your elites in the north.tell your boko brodas to stop killing ppl for no reason;they cannot islamise Nig.,if that is the case,you ppl should go your seperate way and practice your islam there.is it not obvious that we are not one Nigeria,you guys are difft in religion,belief,looks etc,is it not clear that we cant live together in peace,then while are we still enslave by the 1914 almagation,we shud go our seperate way.tell your abokis broda in the upper and lower house who r gettin their pay slip from oil money whereas their villages is as dry as arid desert to move a referandum for an independent state of arewa instead of coming here biting the fingers that has fed you from hunger and dying.I foresee another sudan,but this time its gonna be a peaceful seperation because we don want to wipe out the likes of you from mother earth
