Stop Provoking Us, There Is No Oil Discovered In Lagos State - Asari Dokubo

Asari Dokubo has reacted to the claim that Oil has being discovered in Lagos. According to him, it is the greatest fraud of all time. Read below...

There are wild celebrations all over the Nigerian state that substantial hydro carbon deposit had been discovered in the continental shelf off the coast of lagos in the Bight of Benin.

This is to spite the Ijaw and Niger Delta that they too are now oil producing state.

If this is true we will not have any quarrel with the findings...Since Ondo a predominantly Yoruba state had been producing hydro carbon in commercial quantity and was included by General Olusengun Obasanjo in the political Niger Delta.

The case of Lagos is very fraudulent as the mining license OML113 granted to the company of late AbdulWahab Yinka Folawiyo, Yinka Folawiyo Petroleum Company LTD is no where near or close to the constitutionally recognized boundaries of Lagos state or within the contiguous continental shelf of Lagos State....The area where OML113 is located is off the boundaries of,and the contiguous continental shelf of Bayelsa and Delta state.

The international hydro carbon mappings are public documents and are in the public domain for sighting and reference....It is the greatest fraud of all time to physically thief and transmute the God given resources of the Ijaw and Niger Delta and to transfer same to Lagos state.Is it not enough to thief our resources through your constitutional abracadabra that you are now resorting to korokoro thief.

We therefore demand for an independent international hydro Carbon and cartographic inquiry into this most monstrous thief of all time.

On our part we will not allow any part of, or grain of sand of the Ijaw and Niger Delta to be confiscated or appropriated by anybody.

How far is lagos from kwara

Nkem4040:
Lagos has no oil. This is part of the demands Tinubu gave to Buhari he is now fulfilling.

aurenflani:
Oil in Niger -delta, oil in the east, oil in the north. Nigeria the blessed country

seunmsg:
In addition to the 13% derivation that Lagos state is entitled to, the NDDC act should also be amended to accommodate Lagos state. As an oil producing state, lagos deserve to also benefit from the intervention projects of the commission. In fact, the commission should be renamed to Oil producing states development commission.

After hearing this news, People from the sou--th beast be like....

victorvezx:

U people have saying this bull-shit since independence, but Nigeria has managed to move on whether without or without u people

Izonpikin:
hehehehe...so lagos wants to benefit from the almighty 13 percent derivation that the militants/the niger delta struggle through violence/negotiations helped enshrine into our law

when we fight others benefit..they call us all sorts of names only to benefit from our struggles...

hypocrisy ooo....

lagos state should have allowed the FG get everything(status quo) like it used to be....

limeta:





Nigeria has moved on forward or backward?
Too much rice is bad for you

victorvezx:

It's like u are dull. Just like other states, the oil in Lagos will be owned by the federal government, while they will be entitled to the 13% derivation for being an oil producing state like the others

Izonpikin:
but how did the 13 percent derivation come about thats what i was asking?...

is it not through the previous struggles in the niger delta that led to its implementation that lagos now wants to enjoy??...thats my point..

militancy and hard struggles brought about what lagos wants to enjoy...abi dont you agree??

Izonpikin:
so you guys want to benefit from all our struggles and militancy because you now have oil but would in the past run your mouths like faulty valves...

reptile1:


Mumu dey ur body shaa.. Odas dey invest in science and technology u dey here dey jubilate over same oil wey naija dey sell for years past with notin to show for it

seunmsg:


The right of oil producing states to get 13% of oil revenue is a constitutional right that is also backed up by the onshore/offshore dichotomy act. The 1999 constitution is not a product of any militant struggle. The only product of your militancy is amnesty and we ain't interested in that shiit.

Lie, the 13% derivation was in the constitution as far as 1999, it was no product of militancy. As far as Lagos is an oil producing state, they must get theirs. U can continue in ur boiling rage
