Reps Reject Oil Firms’ Relocation To Niger Delta by deantimes(m): 12:26pm On May 05, 2017 |
THE House of Representatives has been flayed for rejecting a proposal seeking the relocation of the operational and administrative offices of oil companies to the Niger Delta region, by the leadership of rights groups from the area. http://www.socialtimesng.net/2017/05/reps-under-fire-for-rejecting-oil-firms-relocation-to-niger-delta/ 5 Likes 1 Share

You want the Oil Companies to relocate to a region where their staffs are likely to be Kidnapped for ransom, their infrastructures are likely to be bombs and Youths always extorting money from them at will? A business concerns makes decisions based on Security, Profit and ease of doing business. Provide a secure environment and the companies will fall over themselves to relocate. 86 Likes 5 Shares |

wirinet:then they should remove all their pipelines from the unsafe region and take it to where their headquarters is that is safe. Open our ports in South South they will spend the whole day debating why we shouldn't have any, Oya come and develop our states like how you did in Abuja, No. Speak about safety, do you know how many people that are killed on a daily basis in Lagos every night? In traffic alone people are being shoot at. Abeg it's not by force, take all your pipes to the place you feel that is safe. And stop polluting our land, water and air. While you dey lagos dey breath fresh air. APC government think they are wise, they're just buying time for the bigger fight that will soon start in the Creeks. Una no fit fooll us like that. 169 Likes 11 Shares |

I thank this dishonourable members for doing the right thing for once.sentiment apart business are sited where safety is guaranteed and ease of doing business is okay.as far I am concerned the Niger delta is one of the top place in the world where ease of doing business is extinct. With marching ground ideology, aimless so called lazy youth leader that destroy your property for not compensating the boys.pls don't give me that Houston rubbish of having the hqtr of major oil coys.if your are sincere the government provide the necessary and tax rebate for oil coys.Nigeria is the only country where the community shout our oil as if all lands do not belong to the Fgn 33 Likes 3 Shares |

What is the guarantee that there won't be a reprisal of attack against the oil companies again if they relocate back to Niger Delta. Niger Deltans should deal with their hostilities. He that will have friends must first make himself friendly. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

Agumbankembu: He meant well for Nigeria but some wicked cabals are frustrating his effort to make what he said happen. Also, I feel relocating the IOC to ND is a good choice but the de merit lies on the unrest activities of militants which will crush their business activities the more. Even the IOCs don't want to relocate if you ask them. Most of them cited their HQ at Lagos some decades ago due to the environment and good government policy for business to strive This country sef! 7 Likes |

The issue is not about safety ,that is a lame argument.The reality is that where businesses located headquarters is not governed by LEGISLATION ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD< ANYWHERE. I challenge anyone to prove me wrong. I have no objection to oil companies moving but doing so by legislation is very dangerous because of the potential UNINTENDED CONSQUENCES for other non oil businesses and general investment confidence. It location can be legislated what next who to employ. That they must build churches or mosques in their premises. There is no need to introduce unnnecessary complexity through the backdoor. The argument remains about resource control and what percentage of oil proceeds goes to the communities. That is what should be addressed.Once the communities are getting what is their right if the copanies like they can locate in Cameroon if it pays them. The real issue is about resource control so don't transfer frustration to oil companies First if such legislation can apply to oil industry what next ?? Dangote should move to Kogi?Chivita should move to Benue or Oyo , Companies making soap should move to where they get palm oil etc . There is nothing like Niger Delta in our constitution so where a company is operating in 4 states where should it go to which one. This is just unnecesssary sentimentality and those pushing for it are isinformed about tax. Oil companies do not pa tax to Lagos State.In fact ALL COMPANIES IN NIGERIA PAY TAX TO THE FG regardless of where the headquarters are located. LASG get PAYE personal income tax of workers resident in Lagos.The quuestion is in a company like Mobil or Shell what percentage of their workers are outside their operation area in Lagos? 33 Likes 4 Shares |

rafindo:Actually lands do not belong to the fGN and Nigeria is not the only country where regional entities scream for a greater share of their oil. Whetherr in Canada or the UK and other places these sorts of crries have been heard at one tie or another They are entited to do so. We must not mix things up here . I support the getting a greater share which is a completely different argument for using the oil companies as a scapegoat for our failings as a nation. I oppose this measure not because they should not get more bu it is the wrong medicine for the wrong sickness. Government should not make laws about what should be a business decision. What is the purpose of the law ? It seves no rational purpose. What we should be talking about is what proportion of oil should go to FG and what to the host state. That is not the business of the oil company. 7 Likes 1 Share |

tutudesz: The motion entitled: “Calling oil companies to establish operational/administrative offices in the Niger Delta area where they engage in exploration and exploitation” was sponsored by Goodluck Opiah (PDP, Imo).Other rep members supported it, majorly reps from SS and SE, but it was shouted down by Gbajabimilo or what is that his name and his northern overlords.

A nation that supports injustice is not a nation at all. Imagine, carving out oil rich igboland and attached to Rivers as "punishment" to igbos for Biafra. Till date marginaliz9ng the people of that lamd as "punishment" for getting igbo. Carving out oil rich delta land to Ondo for "award". Destroying lands of oil Roch communities and ignoring to Fox it despite knowing the livelihood of the people of those lands descendant heavily on ocean aka fishing. Oya despite all that, stealing oil companies headquarters and attaching it to lagos. The heavy taxes that should go to the communities whose land is being destroyed goes to Lagos which isn't even contributing not even 1% of that resources. Those taxes is used by lagos to increase its people living standard and beat chest while belittling those who they bleed dry. Now to resolve all that injustice, immediately they refuse it Yet this country government wonder why militants is still fighting. What a joke 20 Likes 2 Shares |

rafindo: So according to you their oil is safe and good for business but their region is not? The tax that should have accrued to these states are been paid to other states and you think that is justice?

All the kidnappings that have been going in the past few months, haven't they been happening in the west? Greedy lot. If those oil companies cannot be headquartered there, then they shouldn't drill oil there. wirinet: 15 Likes |
