Senate Rejects Bill To Recognise Anambra As Oil Producer by fkaz(m): 12:59pm On Dec 17, 2014 |
The Senate yesterday rejected a bill seeking to amend the Niger Delta Development Commission Act Cap 86 laws of Nigeria in order to recognise and include Anambra as an oil-producing state. http://newtelegraphonline.com/senate-rejects-bill-to-recognise-anambra-as-oil-producer/ 4 Likes 2 Shares |

The issue with Kogi is still unresolved... Also Senator Ayogu Eze expressed opposition to the bill, explaining that Jonathan had admitted that he made the pronouncement ascribed to him by Uba in a haste. According to him, Jonathan’s statement degenerated into crisis between the states that shared common boundaries, where the facility was located which forced him to set up a committee led by Vice- President Namadi Sambo to resolve the problem. See a whole President causing confusion. SMH 44 Likes |

It is only right to cure the affliction of ignorance when discovered, so please kindly enlighten me on how Abia is an oil producing state. And Imo? How and when did they start producing oil? I'm not talking discovery of crude oil presence, I am talking production in the class of Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom. 14 Likes |

This is a welcome development. Anambra state does not have any oil. The oil they claim to have belongs to kogi state. Before una bounce on me, am not yoruba, hausa or igbo. Am a free born of south-south. 35 Likes 2 Shares |

Just a temporary set back. Oil is no longer a major earner, so who cares. Over-dependence on oil has seen the Russian currency crash to nothing in one week. Anambra does not depend on oil alone and never will. The oil will never go to Kogi and thanks to the senate for reminding the Presidency on doing the needful. I have evry faith the executive gov of GEJ will do just that. Kogi or Enugu will not get a penny from Anambra oil sales. Cry me a river. 49 Likes 4 Shares |

berem: You seem unnecessarily angry. I asked a question, since when did questions start getting regarded as lies? I'm only curious, we know oil producing states in the 'producing sense'. I'm only wondering what oil is Abia producing when it is even a poor state and under-developed infrastructurally? Being part of NNDC does not mean'chit', it is all for revenue sharing. I am not here to argue, I am just curious and please post links for me to feed on rather than go back and forth. 7 Likes |

The sponsor of the bill, [size=20pt]Senator Andy Uba[/size], who led the debate on the proposal anchored his decision on the declaration by President Goodluck Jonathan, that Anambra had joined the league of oil-producing states in the country when he visited the state this year Also [size=20pt]Senator Ayogu Eze[/size] expressed opposition to the bill, explaining that Jonathan had admitted that he made the pronouncement ascribed to him by Uba in a haste. According to him, Jonathan’s statement degenerated into crisis between the states that shared common boundaries, where the facility was located which forced him to set up a committee led by Vice- President Namadi Sambo to resolve the problem.

berem: I have done that but apart from Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Edo. The others are generally brushed aside or mentioned in passing. My inference from the above is that the 5 states actually bear the weight of oil profuction and the other states cannot even sustain Nigeria alone with whatever oil they produce. Lastly, I generally do not expect an oil producing state to be dead like Abia is. It should be merged with Imo, honestly. 5 Likes |

9jacrip:Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Delta and Bayelsa accounts for 80% of crude oil production while Imo, Abia and Ondo shares the rest (20%). Cross river no longer produces oil but still part of Niger Delta 5 Likes |
Re: Senate Rejects Bill To Recognise Anambra As Oil Producer by Nobody: 2:00pm On Dec 17, 2014 |
harde2lah: Thank you. Now let's share the 20% amongst the 3 states in order of production output. The whole NDDC membership and slamming states into it needs to be reviewed. To me it appears political. And I can guess Imo & Abia became part of NDDC under Jonathan (I might be wrong). Lumping unworthy states into NDDC is the problem Jonathan has created with the Kogi-Anambra face-off. 3 Likes |

9jacrip:is that your prayer? Well,let's keep praying for oil prices to continue falling. So that people like you would be happier that Imo and Abia should not be listed as oil producing states. Have a nice day!! 8 Likes |
Re: Senate Rejects Bill To Recognise Anambra As Oil Producer by Nobody: 2:03pm On Dec 17, 2014 |
berem: You have chosen to see my point from the tribalist and economic gain angle and I cannot help you. Abia and Imo oil production cannot even sustain the whole of South East. The oil there should have been left untouched since 5 states already account for as much as 80% of the production. 5 Likes |

The Igbofobia ailment which afflicts many of the posters on this thread has also had an effect on their thinking capabilities. Instead of making cogent arguments in support of, or against the senate action, the justification for their points of view is simply that Anambra is in Igbo land.
