These are; Afaha Okpo, Afaha Ukwong, Ebughu, Afaha Ibighi, Effiat, Afaha Ubodung, Etta, Afaha Oki-uso, and Afaha Idua (Ilue).


5. Oron is the cure for delicious sea foods ( crabs, fresh fishes, prawns, oysters, crayfish and so on...) A place where people from other part of Nigeria come to buy crayfish, afang, fish etc.

OP Number 1 is wrong, Ibeno produces the most oil in Akwa Ibom. How did you get your facts? Exxonmobil in ibeno produces the largest quantity in nigeria if I am correct.

naijaguy77:


QIT is a terminal, not an oil field. Terminals are oil storage facilities, not oil producing facilities.

Eket and Esit Eket produce zero oil, they do not even have coast lines and do not border the ocean. As you know, almost all Akwa ibom oil is produced offshore and the only places in Akwa Ibom that have coast line are Eastern Obolo LGA, Ibeno LGA, Mbo LGA (Oro), Udung Uko LGA (oro), and Oron LGA (Oro). So 3 of the 5 local govt areas in Akwa Ibom that have coast line are Oro nation LGAs.

How far are the oil producing platforms from QIT? You can see some standing at Ibeno beach. Why are you peole trying to twist fact?

If you say 80% of Onshore oil, I can reluctantly agree. But saying you produce 80% of Akwa Ibom oil is sentiments. You don't even produce 15%.

Come, u too na from Oron?

Ufan kpong mkpo ado. That your number one is not correct. I remember i heard about Oron having a large deposit of gas few years ago. But not oil.

Hope these maps helps. ALL ExxonMobil fields are off IBENO and Eastern Obolo.

Moreover there are no known oil fields off the coast of Oro land.

So which company is drilling the crude oil from oron? How can Oron be the largest oil producing Local government yet no oil company is operating there right now?
The last time I checked, ExxonMobil currently produces the largest quantity of crude oil for Nigeria and the drill their oil from Qua Iboe terminal in Ibeno, not Oron.
OP pls tell me something I don't know.

. Agreed Esit Eket is an oil producing Frontier Oil (Marginal fields) & Septa Energy more of Gas at Uquo. Ocean Coastline & it is only 3 LGAs constitue over 100km AKS CoastLine: (Effiat-Mbo bordering Cameroon Maritime boundry, Ibeno QIT beach &Eastern Obolo bordering Andoni Opobo Town & Bonny Island in Rivers state. Other LGAs Mention are located along the Cross River Estuary &Qua Iboe River.
Note: Mbo LGA in Oro Nation is strategically Located both on Cross River Estuary bordering Akpabuyo &New Bakassi LGAs in CRS. And Nigeria's most coastal south-east corner bordering neigbouring countries of Gulf of Guinea. The reason behind the proposed IBAKA DEEP SEAPORT at James Town.

I disagree with number one .Oron is nt an oil producing place,except u want to take it from Ibeno people.U also failed to tell us about criminals in Oron,I mean oron still remain the home of criminals in Akwa ibom state.
