Yes let youroba enjoy their oil wells let Biafra be now why are they trying to stop Biafra? Cant youruba leave Biafra and enjoy their oil alone? Why do they always want to fight us?

The ultimate panacea to the perpetual restiveness in the Niger Delta remains the exploration of oil in other parts of the country, just as was said by Senator Bruce.

And with Dangote already positioning his refinery in Lagos, I see a world of much more positive economic news headlines coming from the state, especially as the major players in this episode wouldn't need to deal with all those security upheavals we see in the ND.

When production eventually begins in the North, Nigeria would come full circle in realising her aspirations as regards peace, security and progress.

God help us all.

Exactly what point is this one trying to make. You sound like a kid honestly.

With this investments, it shows that the Lagos oil fields are very economically feasible and must be of a large capacity, unlike those states producing the same drops of oil discovered in my state but hoodwinked the system that was in their favour then, to be included as oil producing state. Anyway thanks to the new PIB bill, we are also oil producing states since any state that produces palm oil, groundout oil (like mine) or a few drops of oil (like mine) is an oil producing state.

Next stop....the Chad Basin.

Wether all the other parts of Nigeria including fulani have oil or not WE NEED BIAFRA we are tired of answering the name a white slave owner gave us. You guys can keep all your rescources to yourself we NEED BIAFRA.

This comment just proves how scared you've been about secession. Take away oil, your daily bread is gone

I usually don't respond to foolishness like this but I'll humour you just this once.

Go and join a comedy troupe cos that's where you belong.... My initial comment was made in jest, let me be serious;

Scared of who ? Your people have tried it once & are still counting the losses, you can play around as much as you want,just restrict your issues to the internet, radio & diaspora agitations as you have been doing & we will continue to humour you.

Y'all aint going nowhere...

Lagos oilfield to begin production this year

With the award of a rig contract to carry out the drilling and completion programme for the Aje shallow-water field offshore Lagos, the first oil production is expected to begin in the state by December this year.
According to the statement, the Scarabeo 3 rig is a semi-submersible rig currently stationed offshore Lagos. The rig will be moved 18 nautical miles to the Aje drilling location and will be used to carry out well operations for the first phase of the Aje Cenomanian Oil field development that includes two subsea production wells./

- What is the current rule/law for onshore-offshore dichotomy?

- Has that rule changed or will it change solely for Lagos?

ifeness:
now turn Lagos into a mega city. So proud of my state,hope to visit there soon.

Do Lagosians, Nigerians, BLACK people have the education & technology to

- know of the existence of crude oil or any other mineral for that matter?

- drill, exploit & extract the natural resource

- use, refine & consume totally the crude oil or natural resource?


These are relevant issues REASONABLE people will ponder about as you DON'T need oil revenues to build a 'mega city' of stark ILLITERATES who can produce NOTHING on their own but depend on the exercised brains of our longer nosed fellow homo sapiens like eternal underdogs and BEGGARS!

Was London, New York, Geneva, Stockholm, Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing etc built on oil money or rather the CREATIVE power of brains that are constantly put to work by all citizens

Rose2014:

There is also high presence of other tribes in Nigeria in Ibadan for example. I'm talking of average Yoruba man contribution to Nigeria GDP growth

Pls stop speaking ignorantly cocoa is the largest non oil foreign exchange earner for this country and yes it is mainly contributed by the "average Yoruba man" many of whom are even in the rural areas

At the University of Coventry, England, over 50% of the module tutors and academic staff of the department of Oil & Gas Management are Nigerians, so much so that there are whispers of complaints about our accent from the foreign students. The same applies in the University of Aberdeen, one of the best schools for Oil and Gas Engineering in the World. I would advise you to rise above this inferiority complex and maximize your potential as that statement you made was beyond mildly nauseating. The melanin content of your skin has nothing to do with the functioning of your brain.

Niger is the state with the lowest poverty rate which is 33.8%. It was followed by Osun (37.9%) and Ondo (45.7%).

Bayelsa (47%) and Lagos (48.6%) have less than 50% poverty rate.

The average poverty rate in the Northwest geopolitical zone is 71.4%, which remained the highest in the said area.

It is followed by the Northeast region which has 69.1% and the North central region which has 60.7%.

Poverty was least dominant in the Southwest (49.8%), South-South (55.5%), and South-East regions (59.5%).

The SW does well in both statistical data and is probably the region that is trying the hardest to reduce its dependence of oil. If the Yorubas contributed so little to SW GDP, why can't other tribes replicate the SW development in their own states? Why is it that 4 Yorubas are in the top ten richest Nigerian list when Yorubas only make up 21% of the population?

It is a FAT LIE.. There is NO CRUDE OIL in Lagos State.. Stop deceiving yourselves.

See how u are celebrating for a prospected 3700 bpd in a country that produces up to 2million barrels pd(+oil bunkering). Anambra produces up to 50000bpd and are not even recognised as an oil producing state....its ok to dream

The day we start celebrating the production of technological products will be a great moments in our history. Technology contributes far more to the economy than oil and gas or any other natural resources.

I agree with you that we black people are EQUALLY endowed with intelligence as the pale skinned people. However we do NOT use our brains to the extent they use theirs. In short we are mentally LAZY.

BTW, would you know why your examples are universities in the UK and not Nigeria

You may need to read & understand about the phrase- critical mass.

Cheers!

Correction is done with the mouth (verbally), not with the eyes and the bible says "one should beware ofthe eye that winks because it bears perverted thoughts (somewhere in proverbs).........so I don't know where you got your weird logic from.


You should go and apply for one of the rifles to be distributed if you're so eager for Biafra, rather than typing it in capital letters.

Was that more disrespectful than stating that ALL black people lack the capacity to effectively use their brains and are mentally lazy? Respect is earned, not ascribed. I'd advise you to not meddle in affairs you do not comprehend to avoid self-ridicule.

Oh if he did, you try to prove him wrong, what he said was his personally opinion. I was enjoying you guys conversation till you did that. In an argument one person is right and the other wrong or both wrong/right. Maturity says "respect the other even when they are wrong". You appear like a bitter guy to me, and you are even trying to take it out on me for my observation. Have a good day.

This is like the third time they've said this in the past 4years. I'll believe it when I see it. I'm tired of reading the same shit, only for it not become a reality and few years later, they replicate that same story, only for it not to become a reality one again. This time around, I'm not going to believe it until I actually see that Lagos produce oil.

I read some biafran rants here, I didn't know Yoruba's are strong enough to stop you from having your own country...Hypocrites

How did the news that lagos is about to join the oil producing states degenerate to this back to back ranting? Make them enjoy their oyel nah. SE has oil. SS has oil. SW has oil: ondo and now lagos. So what's the biggie? Nairaland sef.
