Now watch how the "tivs and the idomas" would start battling for control of the oil revenues and the location of its resources while forgetting about other viable revenue earners in the state!


Pathetic!

Exactly. I don't see why this discovery would be anything to rejoice about, even if it were true. There's a reason oil is called "the devil's excrement"; oil has never been the basis of lasting prosperity, and Nigeria would be in much better shape today without the distorting influence of oil revenue on the country's politics. All Nigerians have to show for $450 billion in oil revenues since 1970 is rampant corruption, infrastructural decay, and "do or die" political thuggery.

If it were up to me, even the oil currently being extracted from the Niger Delta would disappear. Only when politicians have to depend on raising revenues through taxation will they become serious about heeding the desires of their electorates. Under the current system all that matters is rigging and bribing one's way to electoral victory, at which point one can start to feast on unearned federal allocations, as the taxes of voters make almost no difference to the ability to govern.

Oh my God! Discovering oil in the N for exploration is the cheering news now.The one got from the S has brought Nigeria to this quagmire of mono economic.
How can a government with vision continue doing the same thing in the same way and be expecting a different result.
From Sagari government Nigeria colossal monumental resource were diverted to this fruitless effort.All the past governments failed to see things differently wasting our commonwealth money on this in order to satisfy the king makers .
There is nothing bad if this government look for other minerals the N are endowed to explore.This will help a lot in diversification of the economy.Other countries are carrying out research of alternative to oil we still searching for things that are not lost.
Find solution to unrest in the SS , Put all the refineries to working capacity.Build more and stop importing refined oil for local consumption.Start feeding other countries with refined product and see how economic of Nig would be .
Nigeria can feed the world with the farm land we have.Focus on this and stop running a be looking back.

The thread is captioned "excitement in the north" not in Benue cuz we have no reason to rejoice yet especially if the oil is found to be in commercial quantity cuz we can't forget so soon how the fulinis wanted to drive us out of Benue state simply cuz, they discovered that grasses in the Benue valley was very nutritious for their cattles.if not for the sincere intervention of Pmb.how then do we rejoice if a more economical viable resource like oil still in Benue?
