That's okay. At least the cry of "na only us get oil" will reduce.

Norway has oil sharing the North Sea with the Uk and has 0-5% poverty level, highest human development index in the world and is relatively very peaceful.

Sheriff19:
some pple will claim the our the one that brought Oil to Lagos. Just wait and see( the IGBO gUYS

Adeyinka12:
you are getting it wrong,because those igbos will say they generate almost 70% to 80% nigeria gdp from oil.so what are you now telling me

seunfly:


That mining is the key, we could have made twice of what we are making in crude oil in minning especially iron ore mining and steel processing.

Volksfuhrer:
Something tells me Nigeria could be sitting on a bigger reserve than we are being made to believe. Who knows? Sokoto could be next!

olawalepopoola:
I am a geologist and I had always told people that there is no way you will find oil in Niger Delta and Ghana and you'll will find it in Lagos! Now we Yorubas have it all! Land, water, oil, mineral resources and intellectual!

Am not a Yoruba guy am an Egun. Awori..

The aim of the first phase is to produce 10,000 barrels per day of oil from two target wells in the Oil Mining Lease 113 area. A re-entry of Aje-4 will form the first producer, while drilling of Aje-5 is expected to be the second.

“We believe that this development is good for Nigeria generally because our reserves base has not increased over the years as expected, because the international oil companies are not ready to invest since the Petroleum Industry Bill has not been passed,” an elated Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Lagos State, Mr. Taofiq Tijani, told our correspondent.

Ayomidegbenga1:


don't also forget that ondo state is having large deposit of bitumen in commercial quantity as a matter of fact is the second largest in the world!

This is interesting.
It's amazing how people here are confidently confirming and disputing the presence of oil in Lagos . If you have not completed a comprehensive exploratory program of the area, you cannot tell for sure.

It won't be strange to find oil in Lagos (infact I believe in its occurrence there) but then comes the question of whether it is economical or not.

I'm sure these guys will do a thorough job to confirm what they're getting into before they sink all that money downhole.

Having read some comments here, I will like to say that,
- 'Coastlines' do not translate to hydrocarbon reserves (or resources)
- Bitumen in Ondo does not necessarily migrate and become Oil in Lagos (migration is not that simple)
- Having oil in the Niger Delta and Ghana does not mean Lagos has oil too, they are completely different petroleum provinces with different structural histories; besides, it takes only a few hundred meters (not to mention 1000 km) to go from a gusher to a beautiful dry hole.

Lagos is under the Dahomey Basin, so there is enough possibility that there could be oil in Lagos... Geophysical investigation has been conducted and there are presence of oil stains .. Read this

10,000 bpd is an economic suicide in oil exploration. There are oil wells with over 300,000 bpd & you guys are here ranting because of 10,000 bpd.

tonychristopher:


Wait a minute ..do u want me to believe that egun awori are not Yoruba ...why do yoruba claim them ....pls answer . This rumours have been on for years

meracool:


The Awori's came from ile Ife a very long time ago so they're the first settlers in Lagos due to there love for fishing...

Well, I won't trade words with you in a public forum.. I'm telling you what many people don't know..

jpphilips:


Go and hide!!

Mayydayy:
finally we can say.Everybody has "oyel"

omonnakoda:
oil well with 300000 bpd where are they ,Onitsha main market?Na earthquake?. If you keep quiet no one will know how ignorant you are

babestella:


Who is this one?, if you are so knowledgable about your Lagos oil, you'll know your 10kbpd is even at an exploratory and proposal level. Quit your rants and get the economic dynamic around oil exploration and you'll understand why it still at the proposal level, 'set to'. Let's wait until production is commenced.

omonnakoda:
Shut up ! Mumu,Tell where to find these 300000 bpd oil wells ,Are thein Hoomgbidee or Hoonaywee
