Even Ben Bruce has shutdown his Silverbird cinema in PH.! Due to same reason of unfavourable environment!.

Asari Dokubo has no investment in ND. Many of the NDeltans have their investments outside the region and yet they will be making noise that others are relocating.

Why wont shell relocate when there is no security of life and properties.!!

DeadWrong:
Why won't they relocate? Your kidnap their employees, bomb their infrastructures despite the social and community development programmes. What else do you want? You sabotage their pipelines. Forcados is down; they repaired it, it didn't last one week, these fools bombed it again. Oil companies are not breaking even... The IOCs are just bearing the losses due to strong financial support from their parent company. While some of the indigenous oil companies have packed up, some have laid off staff and some are unable to export their crude because they evacuate through just one route.

Only those who are not in the industry would think the companies just drill and produe oil without giving back to the society. That's a big lie! They have massive community development projects they embark upon..but like the typical greedy Nigerians that they are, they prefer cash gift to development. And when they get the money, they lavish it on women and ogogoro and then come back for more. The oil companies are not fools.
You want them to recruit you by force when they already have a sizable number of you working for them already. The current business climate doesn't favor bringing in more people but una no wan hear..."they must just recruit us anyhow he go be"
E&P business is not for children. Investments are massive and stakes are high...No company will put you on the rig to because you're an indigene and you don't have the requisite qualifications and skills. Cos one mistake from while on the rig will kill others, destroy the massive investment of the company and destroy company's reputation. Then the company will pay fines and litigation fees. these yoots don'treason well at all.

Bunch of misfits who think the oil companies owe them for discovering oil at their backyards. They owe you nothing. You were not there when they pump in a lot of money to explore for the crude..daily rig rate is around 1 million dollars and yet some jobless yoots think the oil companies should lick their ass... nonsense.

If I could understand what you are trying to say I would respond. We are dealing with shell and the ND specifically PH. Peace and development is not in the hands of Shell, it is in the hands of th Governors and chiefs who steal the money and the young people that blow up pipelines. If a person ignores the rat he has just killed, in days neighbours will be pointing to his house

ImoRiver:


Relocating to Owerri is not bad as it's safer and still proximal to Port Harcourt and Niger Delta.

Benita27:
When they move their headquarters to the west(Lagos State) which i'm sure is their next hub, they shouldn't come drill oil in Rivers State.

AZeD1:
Shell has been divesting their investments in Nigeria for a while now. I'm pretty sure the goal is to manage only offshore sites.

HopeAtHand:



AMCON took over Mr. Bruce cinema in PH over unsettled debts. Say what you know so you dont look stupid.



The federal govt (being the ones in control of the police, military and other security agencies) should be held responsible if they cannot maintain order and security in Rivers being handed that mabdate by the constitution of the country. If they also cannot provide jobs for the jobless masses which inturn leads to crime, then they are very irresponsible and ought not to be in power in any instance.

Free yourself of subjective reasoning so you can appreciate the wider causes of societal ills.

I pity you. you know nothing child. light travels faster than sound that is why some people appear smart until you hear them speak.
you are not intelligent my dear and please try to seek for knowledge and always put on your intellectual cap when next you make judgments.

LasGidiOwner:



It is not a laughing matter, as a major stakeholder in Rivers state, we shall resist any attempt to relocate Shell from PH. PH is secured right now. The talks of relocating it out of PH is more political than economical..

DozieInc:

True, they want to steal the wealth and employment opportunities of Rivers people, but they have failed already.

It's time time for all the Oil companies to relocate HQ to the Niger Delta.

Wiseoldman:


My dear, it won't cost Shell a lot to leave those JV operation they execute from PHC. This is a billion dollar company. Shell wast stopped from operating in Iran (Do you know how much Oil Iran has). The people of the delta states need to be more friendly and better host. They are lazy and demanding. I'm currently typing this from an Oil field in on of the same Detla states. The people in this community will quarrel with a company that wants to build bridge, they will rather collect the money (monthly) and put wooden planks for crossing. In this same community, the IOC, and federal government have tried repeatedly to build a very important bridge to no avail. The chiefs here own boats which are used to cross the river. and IOCs are made to pay monthly for the lease of the boat. The list goes on.

If this community wants stable power, school, hospital and bridges today they will get it. But the IOC dear not try to do it. They would probably have to pay each community member millions of Naira before they are allowed to build bridges for them. Amazing isn't it

LasGidiOwner:
The core oil richest states in Nigeria are Rivers, Akwaibom, Bayelsa and Delta state. If Shell do not see any place in this states to locate their facilities then they should equally forget about oil drilling in the region. I am a regular visitor to PH and I know too well that insecurity is no problem at the moment except they want to use the relocation to score a political point against Wike. Shell shall remain in PH..

Laid2001:
So if that is the case for the entire country, how come companies are more attuned to some city than yours!.

This issue is not a nationwide issue, if you don't even admit your problem how can you get a solution!

Lagosian, or Owerri people will not go and shut down office because their people are not qualified to work in any company. They will not focus on harassing IOCs and be bombing up and down!

ImoRiver:


It's actually Owerri not Lagos. It's been on the open that they've requested the repossession of the original headquarters in Owerri from where was moved to Port Harcourt earlier. Owerri is still within Niger Delta.

Why exactly are you against it's relocation to Owerri?
