I have been hearing this since 2010, yet the. NDDC just somehow never recognizes Lagos.
The government of Lagos must be obsessed with phantom oil.
Oil that nobody else can see.

Super1Star:
Ondo is oil producing.

Lagos has joined.

Waiting for Ogun.

The land of Oduduwa is just too blessed.

Who God has blessed, no man can curse.

Haters can off Olumo Rock for all I care.

Maybe finally they will start thinking about their sovereingty and Oduduwa Republic instead of running around looking for who they will do 'one Nigeria' with.

When is ogun going to join sef

Wow! Our Eko o ni baje.. O baje ti

Always making senseless posts. A broken record already.

The right word to describe your frustration is mourning. It's no longer wailing!

Good one Lagos!

God should help the northerners to have the same so we can split peacefully, im tired of one nigeria

Yes, the dangote refinery will come on stream in 2018. It's a win win for Lagos, in fact, the state will soon start to fly at this rate of economic success. Kudos to the Folawiyo family as well, they've been on this Aje oil field matter for so long. For the records, the FOLAWIYO family is a Yoruba family. We don't want to hear any claim or stories of how some imaginary IPOB build the oil fields in Lagos.

Haters of Lagos, sorry o. The state keeps making progress while you guys keep hating. This should also act as a boost to those exploring for oil in the Chad basin. Crude oil is a natural endowment that is not limited to any region. If we look more, we will discover more.

Why na so so Igbo and Yoruba quarrel dey NL and una dey still hope for one Nigeria. Make una stop this hate on social media I beg

Land grabbers and Oyel thieves should beware.

Nice Enough

Ogun state will definitely join oil producing in few years time. Research analyst discovered that there is deposit of oil at Ipokia, imeko and other areas under yewa south/north LGA.

I do not think we have oil in ekiti

They might be lagosians but check the guys manning the outfit and doing the intellectual mathematics.They are Igbos-

I don't understand why a news of this nature still hurt some people!!
Na devil himself una be?? Haba!!

Me no buy all dis one at all. Even if all states discover oil, if d minister of petroleum no step on toes, we will continue to b in our present mess.

Oops! Bad news for some people. Ondo, edo and now Lagos. God bless descendants of Odua , God bless Nigeria.

Dividend of been in the ruling party. The oil has been discovered several years ago but Lagos status as an opposition state has denied her confirmation as an oil producing state severally.
Congratulations Lagosians, hope we won't end up like Bayelsa. So much money, nothing to show for it.

Thank God for Lagos... I bliv "one Nigeria" can separate peacefully very soon....

hassan85:
OIL MAIDUGURI, LAGOS NOU! SOON IT WILL BE NASARAWA AND EKITI MAYBE ONDO TOO. WELL IT MIGHT HELP REDUCE D STUPID NOISE FROM WAILERS AND COULD ALSO INCREASE D CURSE IN NIGERIA.

GOD HELP NIGERIA

Soon..... Ondo ke? Which planet are you from?

SeverusSnape:
Good news.

But zombies were like "we don't need oil anymore, Buhari will diversify the economy". Meanwhile, The dullard is still searching for oil in Chad basin Happy search to him and his crew.

while the predecessor 'nailed almost everything in the head'

Just when we think the Oil will soon dry up, we're still discovering more. Indeed, God is a Nigerian.

The oil belongs to nigeria not lagos.

Niger Detan can lay claim to it

Its good that Lagos has added an extra bead to its already long chain of viable sectors. However @SamuelAnyawu it does not really affect other oil producing states esp those in the Delta. The 13% deriv tax is based on the dollar value of your production. Akwa Ibom,Rivers, Delta and Bayelsa produce 92% of the total and as such get a cumulative .13 of that amount( compare with rivers' 340k or AKS' 504k). Lagos will get same of whatever it produces, note that Aje is a field set to plateau at 50k to 80k(tops) a day. Lagos' $ 150 billion economy still and will always be based off the robust services sector that makes it the numero uno city in the west africa region.
Speaking of states like Borno, the issue will be making the oil commercially viable. Chances are its heavy sour and highly acidic( TAN) just like the Doba(same Doba basin) blend next door in Chad.Which would mean low prices, say when light sweet sold for 26, that specific blend sold for about 15-17 dollars. Not to mention the infrastructure needed to channel it to the coast. Linking it thru the ones in cameroon that chad uses would prolly be cheapest OR building new transport infrastructure down to our own coast... But how much per barrel is the transport tax going to be ?? This complicates things for an already poorly priced product that has to be marketed almost solely to north american refineries that already get heavy crude from Alberta ( not to mention shale etc)?? Consider clean-fuel regulations and oil refiners' desirability for more appropriate light sweet and u see why it isn't really all that glittery.
All of this hassle for about 2 billion barrels tops reserves....
Nigeria is a diverse place , let everybody do what they can but we should never avoid specifics.

Hmmmm!!! Hope it won't affect the fishing activities in Epe n Badagry? The vegetables farms at Ise. Now we can welcome Lagos to the association of states under the firm grip of economic hitmen......

SamuelAnyawu:
Lagos

The Richest state in Nigeria.
With way they are discovering new oil fields in Borno, Chad Basin, Anambra and Imo mehn Niger deltans it's a pity your Governors couldn't develop Southsouth with your 13% oil derivation and Personal income tax.

I just can't imagine how Southsouth states will cope with the oil Glut in Nigeria soon

I tell you! It's good news for Nigeria and bad news for the 'We South/South'. Nobody is gonna hold the country to ransom again, or foolishly scream 'our oyel' 'our oyel'. Haha! How I pray oil is discovered in the chad basin and even in the fringes of Sokoto make everybody begin answer their papa name. Na then some people eye go clear.
Cheers to Lagos and the S/W.

Now this is GOOD NEWS on a fine Wednesday morning

God Bless Lagos/Eko.

God Bless The Yoruba Folk.

God Bless The President.

And God Bless Nigeria. AMEN

STALE NEWS........ Even Anambra oil is far bigger than what they believe the well will produce, its far less than what One well in my community produces out of the 35 wells we have in EGI Rivers...... its less than 5,000 barrels per day that is even if its true.

Thumbs up lagos...... The best state/City in Nigeria.... Diamond will soon be discovered in Oyo state with the way things are going. Seems God is truly a Nigerian

What's senseless in his post? Experts has been saying that search for oil in Chad Basin is a waste of resources. And u are here hating truth. Accept d message which is a reality and stop scolding d messenger.
