This is WEALTH TRANSFER! It is STEALING from Igbo using the imposed fraudulent 1999 Constitution (aka Military Decree 24) that SEIZES resources and assets of indigenous people. Igbo, Niger Deltans, Yoruba, Middle Beltans - We are NOT helpless! We can STOP this theft of our resources by rallying round the MNN Strategy to Take Down the 1999 Constitution by Constitutional Force Majeure. For information go to this website: www.freedomfromnigeria.com SOUTH-EAST CRUCIAL TO NIGERIA’S GAS INDUSTRY REVOLUTION, SAYS FG This Day News October 20, 2020 By Chineme Okafor The federal government has stated that the five south-eastern states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo will be key actors in its push to enthrone gas as a preferred fuel source for Nigeria’s industrialisation. It said besides the region’s enormous natural gas deposit which would be a useful energy supply source to the country, its industrial composition provides for Nigeria’s gas market complementary demand points to unlock its budding potentials. The government therefore pledged its support towards efforts by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and the Gas Aggregation Company of Nigeria (GACN) to expand gas utilisation in the region using both market-based and government-backed frameworks to clear existing bottlenecks to the market’s transition. It said these through the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva, during a gathering of more than 500 registered participants at the South-east Gas Utilisation Forum recently organised by the GACN in Owerri, Imo State, recently. A statement from the GACN noted that the forum had its theme as: “Natural Gas Utilisation and Optimisation in Nigeria – focus on the South Eastern Hub,” and it was organised in partnership with the five governors of the region: Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu – Abia; Chief Willie Obiano – Anambra; Engr. Dave Umahi – Ebonyi; Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi – Enugu and Senator Hope Uzodimma of Imo. Sylva said the forum aligned with the government’s vision, “to see that we as a country prioritise utilising our natural gas resources domestically to create jobs, grow the economy, increase government revenue, attract investments and industrialise the country- all to the benefit of its citizens.” He further noted that the government, “strongly believes that the South East has a pivotal role to play in Nigeria’s journey towards gas availability, broad utilisation and value optimisation, which is one of the reasons the South East was chosen as the first zone to host this Forum.” According to him, the ministry of petroleum resources has, “made significant progress in the upgrade of the national gas utilization framework by adopting and implementing innovative policies and initiatives aimed at positioning natural gas as the major fuel and driver of our nation’s economy.” He said such initiatives included the development and activation of the Nigerian Gas Transportation Network Code to guide the use and operations of the gas transportation network system and the National Gas Expansion Programme (NGEP) designed to reinforce and expand domestic gas utilisation as well as stimulate demand by promoting gas as replacement for imported petrol and diesel. He also noted the Petroleum Industry Governance Bill (PIGB) which seeks to emplace a robust legal and regulatory framework for Nigeria’s oil industry and elimination of fuel subsidies to save the country foreign exchange through downstream deregulation as the other initiatives of the government in the sector. The minister noted that the government would stay on course with these initiatives, adding that for the south-east gas utilisation expansion plan, “I have been assured that it will not be a ‘talk shop’ but will set out practical steps to ensure the earliest realisation of the gas-energy requirements of the South East States at the earliest timeline.” Similarly, the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Mallam Mele Kyari, in his remarks at the forum, said the government has taken steps to leverage on gas to build a sustainable economy for Nigeria. Kyari explained that the outcome of such strategic approach is seen in key gas-based investments that have been made so far by the government. He said the imminent completion of the Obiafu-Obrikom-Oben (OB3) gas pipeline project which will help commercialise over two billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) of gas and generate new revenue and employment in the east is an example of such investments. He noted that businesses and industries in the region would benefit immensely from the efforts of the NNPC and GACN to open up its gas market. “I salute the ingenuity and spirit of enterprise of our South East industrialists and businesses. Evidently, the South East business community is well placed to key into the Federal Government’s economic development plan to move Nigeria from being a crude oil export-based economy to an attractive oil and gas based industrial economy. “Investment options include gas development, gas infrastructure development, virtual pipeline projects, joint venture partnerships with Nigerian Gas Marketing Company (NGMC) to expand the gas distribution network, gas-to-power, captive or embedded power projects, vehicular CNG projects etc.,” said Kyari who was represented by NNPC’s Chief Operating Officer, Gas and Power, Mr. Yusuf Usman. Similarly, the Board Chairman of GACN, Mr. Mansur Sadiq Sambo said at the forum that the efforts of the GACN are well-intentioned and would be beneficial to Nigeria and the region. According to him: “Evidently, the South East is a thriving commercial hub and this GACN initiative and developmental focus is therefore well understood given that GACN’s core mandate is to drive the expansion of gas utilisation in Nigeria. “We therefore look forward to a long standing and mutually beneficial relationship with the South East business communities and stakeholders consistent with the national economic development agenda of the Federal Government of Nigeria under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.” Sambo further assured that the GACN was wholly committed to the growth of the domestic gas market and will continue to interface with all stakeholders in the industry to facilitate the availability and efficient use of gas while also ensuring competitiveness in the market. Key stakeholders such as the Nigerian Gas Association (NGA) also praised the intentions of the GACN with the forum, stating that the time is ‘right and ripe’. According to the President of NGA, Mrs. Audrey Joe-Ezigbo, the NGA is very pleased to note the emergence of new gas projects in the South East region in more recent times and expects that GACN’s debottleneck efforts will raise the bar on this. https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2020/10/20/south-east-crucial-to-nigerias-gas-industry-revolution-says-fg/

If you're from the south east and you are reading this, bros, get ready for the real battle! Everything must be done to stop the evil collaboration at the federal level that intends to ruin the south east! I won't try to sound politically correct here! I will be blunt; it will be a tragedy of unbelievable proportion if we allow those who looted the whole oil resources of our land and used that to biuld up their cities to once again steal our gas resources! The SE needs that gas to start off post Nigeria. At the moment, the federal government under one Buhari is biulding a gas pipeline to Niger republic while there are no federal government biult gas pipeline connecting the industrial clusters in the south east! Essentially, the federal government of nigeria is developing the gas capabilities of Niger republic with gas lifted from the heart of igboland! That won't fly.. The gas pipeline to Niger republic starts from the Assa gas fields in Imo and Abia states with the pipes running through kogi to Abuja then Kaduna and Kano before heading to Buharis maternal home, Niger republic! Along the line, there will be gas powered power stations at Abuja and Kaduna and Kano, all having the capacity to produce over 3000 mw of power at completion! None was built in the whole Southeast from where the gas will be lifted! No attempt was made to connect the industrial cities of the east like Aba, nnewi or Onitsha to gas lifted in their backyard! Apart from the mediocre shell gas projects at Aba, there has never been any federal government gas initiative on the scale of the type we see at Otta, ogun state or the one in progress in Kaduna. Allowing folks who work against the economic growth of the east with resources from the same east to do a second round of plundering should be unthinkable! This present generation of Igbos must do everything humanly possible to stop this taunts once and for all... 16 Likes 4 Shares |

Once it comes to local manufacturing natural resources, they remember south East and gloat over the “nigerian ingenuity” After when it comes to political appointments and federal infrastructure, they see us as a problem. Now they talk about south East as an oasis of local manufacturing in Nigeria Bt refuse to back it up with developments to aid her growth. Well, we’re not perturbed..we match on and develop at an immeasurable pace ..until we catch up with our colleagues in Isreal and USA 10 Likes 1 Share

The Article says: “Five south-eastern states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo will be key actors in its push to enthrone gas as a preferred fuel source for Nigeria’s industrialisation….” THIS IS WEALTH TRANSFER! IT IS TRANSFER OF SOUTH EAST WEALTH! The imposed fraudulent 1999 Constitution is what is being used to SEIZE South East wealth, plus also Niger Delta wealth. Our people NEVER agreed to have Fed government seize our wealth. This is robbery by the State! Igbos and Niger Deltans, we CAN STOP THIS WEALTH TRANSFER by rallying round the MNN Alliance that have Strategy of Taking Down the 1999 Constitution by Constitutional Force Majeure to set all the ethnic nationalities within us FREE! We will have the Self-Determination we seek if we key into this MNN Alliance. Otherwise our children will be impoverished and have to be wandering the earth like vagabonds seeking who will give them job, whether China, Malaysia, India, Canada, USA, UK or Australia. Why? When we already have the MNN Alliance Strategy to Take Down the 1999 Constitution! Here’s the website for information on the MNN Alliance Strategy of Constitutional Force Majeure www.freedomfromnigeria.com In case you did not know - In 2017 Buhari signed a deal with Chinese to build the Ajaokuta-Abuja-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) gas pipeline. It takes gas from South-East and Niger Delta in raw form all the way to Arewa.

For quite a few years, I have been making it clear to all that the SE is home to the largest reserves of gas in Nigeria, but some poured scorn on this factual claim. The SS and SE have possibly about 95% of oil and gas resources in the country, while the remaining 5% goes almost entirely to the remaining southern zone. Igbo-speaking LGAs in Rivers state are the two LGAs with the largest oil reserves in Nigeria, namely Oyigbo and ONELGA, so oilwise, Igbos have more than their fair share in that. 10 Likes |

Lalasticala I want this particular tread at the front page. Is it now they know that the SE has gas in large abundance. In fact, they know it's not only gas that we have in abundance. I don't want to mention them but they (FG) should continue in muzzling the SE. Time will tell. Truth and Lie will start a race but Truth will always triumph. As for the SS, if not some of our brothers over there, I would have said they should go to hell. They are novice of the first order. They don't know joining SE and SS is for their own good. I blame Gowon for all this. Dividing the country into 12 states to muzzle Ojukwu is the root of all this. If this is not addressed, Nigeria is and will not move forward. |
