Addax’s Latest Oil Discovery Is Not Good News For Imo State by asha80(m): 9:47am On Feb 03, 2009 |
Over the last week, Canadian oil giant Addax Petroleum announced that it had struck new oil deposits in the Njaba Basin in Imo State. Like any other oil company, Addax celebrated the news and began drawing up plans to cash in on its discovery, with obviously no mention of what impact the finding of this Aladdin’s Cave will have on Nigeria.http://www.nigeriavillagesquare.com/index.php/content/view/11383/55 Quite frankly I do not think this is a good development for my state. especially looking at what is happening in the delta at the moment. |

What exactly is your point? I can't see the bad omen you are trying to paint here. |
Re: Addax’s Latest Oil Discovery Is Not Good News For Imo State by lucabrasi(m): 4:15pm On Feb 03, 2009 |
are you sure you read the whole article? the dude is not painting a bad omen but being understandably worried considering what we have experienced of the niger delta,i quite agree that while the indigenes of imo state might complain now,knowing nigerian politicians, things will be ten times worse and they will have much more fundamental problems to contend with when the oil drilling starts in earnest. personally i hope the indigenes raise awarness of these issues and resist any proper drilling or further exploration untill they have a cast idron agreement in place for dealing with the waste that ll ensue from the drilling,gas flaring e.t.c |

@meexteriox Oil spilages Enviromental degradation Unrest These issues should be handled well otherwise our state wil go the way of niger delta. |
Re: Addax’s Latest Oil Discovery Is Not Good News For Imo State by meexteriox(m): 5:49pm On Feb 03, 2009 |
@asha 80 I now understand your worries, and sincerely, they are well justified. Really, the Eastern Heartland, does not need a replay of degradation on going in the Niger Delta right now. I just hope they are taking note (Government & Addax), before they get drunk with their latest discovery. Their drunkeness from the Niger Delta has not elapsed since the Oloibiri days. |
Re: Addax’s Latest Oil Discovery Is Not Good News For Imo State by meexteriox(m): 5:57pm On Feb 03, 2009 |
@asha 80 I need to ask you though, is the Njaba basin within the Njaba/Nnenasa/Umuaka axis? |
Re: Addax’s Latest Oil Discovery Is Not Good News For Imo State by asha80(m): 9:43pm On Feb 03, 2009 |
I think so |

We are praying for oil to dry up in the East now Imo state even got more. Chineke!!!! Abeg Imo state people and East gotta keep an eye on this b4 they turn our land into another Niger Delta. |
Re: Addax’s Latest Oil Discovery Is Not Good News For Imo State by udezue(m): 10:18pm On Feb 03, 2009 |
Now u see if we had autonomy the state can stop any further exploration but we don't so only the Feds can decide. |

You people don't worry.Our people have not been sitting around asking for handouts and they won't just because oil is flowing. We've always worked hard. There shall be no MEND in Njaba in Jesus' name. |

cvibe: I am sure you are not being jealous udezue: sorry but i think you are the worst parasite i've ever come across. now you people should get it straight, in the bible i quote "the three wise men came from the East and not South-south or south east" it therefore means that the time for a change has come to that innocent land of ours and whosoever that sees it as misfortune should go and die, period. what benefit has Nigeria ever derived from the North, west and the host of them but they have benefited benevolently from the sources derived from their neighboring states without showing any form of appreciation. for those people from Imo state whom must had been affected negatively by the fashola's administration, i want to tell you all that God has answered your prayers. you people can now comfortably go back to your state and enjoy the manner from heaven or what do you thing |
Re: Addax’s Latest Oil Discovery Is Not Good News For Imo State by ohaechesi(m): 10:58am On Feb 04, 2009 |

Re: Addax’s Latest Oil Discovery Is Not Good News For Imo State by ohaechesi(m): 11:45am On Feb 04, 2009 |
BidenFan: Sure, you are damn right but i want to assure you that you can't get your ass to Imo state again (that's if you have once been their). The reason is simply because you need now need a Visa before traveling to Imo state either by road, sea, ocean, river, water, mmiri or by air. for visa application, please contact me on my hot nairaland link. Noted: you must ascertain the below qualification before we can issue you Imo State Visa: 1) free from Western (ofe mmanu) racism 2) free from northern terrorism 3) you shall be ready to hang and sleep on the street of Owerre because there wont be accommodation for those of you that does not have their resident permit. (be you the present Mallam in the current administration) laye laye. 4) come with a visa fee range because we do not collect cash but anything of the same range with a brown new HUMMER JEEP (first class visa), INFINITY JEEP (second class visa) and X5 JEEP (you might be consider for third class visa) that will be all for now. |

Its a good development to Imo State because it reduce unemployment rate and other economic development but on the other hand, it will increase militant operation in Imo State. So it will be better for Addax and Imo State government to be making plans ahead of overcoming militant operation. |

One thing i cant understand is the reason why yorubas who are meant to be our brothers are always full of envy,jealousy and hatred.what i want to tell them as well as ijaws is that igbos love them and will always be happy at their success.the only non-igbos that love us are the calabar and idoma.imo has always had oil so the oil is not new.we re infact 5th out of 9. |

The community is not powerless, I am sure Addax would not want to be on the bad side of the community. They can make it a good thing for themselves if they are not selfish. Let them come together and tell Addax the projects they want for the development of their community. They should tie a community benefit (Schools, hospitals, roads )to every stage of Addax exploration and Production. No oil company takes the community for granted anymore, it is internationally frowned at, and would affect the company's PR. What happened in the Niger delta is that some elders/topshot who said they were representing the community became super rich while the rest of the community lived in penury. The youth later took over but they do exactly what the elders did. |
