Gosh! Where is this guy from? Just when i thought that my only problem is how to convince the north of some phantom oil fields in chad basin,now i have to look for another phantom oil story to sell to the west,chai breaking nigeria no be small thing.

Actually, looks like I'm wrong about the bitumen:

http://www.mmsd.gov.ng/Downloads/Tarsand%20&%20Bitumen.pdf

Actually seems comparable to Canada's tar sands: http://i55.tinypic.com/2hibipe.png

Though this might be excessive optimism by the Nigerian govt.

According to Wikipedia, Canada pays $28 per barrel to extract. $4 bucks for North African oil: http://goldnews.bullionvault.com/oil_gold_100_barrel_inflation_110920072

So a lot less profitable. Still, a good resource to have.

Very damaging on the environment though.

Calabar is very beautiful. No doubt. Just less populated than Lagos.

Ok, Lagos does not need to hold monopoly over development. I want other Nigerian states like Kano, Enugu and Calabar to reach Lagos' stage. Competition is good and healthy, and very wonderful for the economy.

Anywaz, my main focus is Ekiti state.  cool

@Eku bear, sharap. Your people like envious backstabbing scavengers teamed up with the North so yall could steal and get everything the East ever had that you couldn't get. Its just that simple. Nothing but pure betrayal so quit making up excuses.
Re: Yoruba Oil Blocks For Those That Say We Dont Have Oil In Yoruba Land. by Nobody: 5:49am On Mar 31, 2011

Shey na the oil? It does not belong to the east apparently, it's Nigeria's oil. It belongs to us all, well maybe its more of to the politicians'.

I don't give a damn if you like my explanation or not. Your opinion of my people is irrelevant. . . if you want to blame us for erosion, cancer, leprosy, impotence amongst your men, barrenness of your women too, who cares.

However, one small piece of advice. . . which you can reject or accept as you wish:

"Measure twice, cut once."

Don't go to war unless you can win it by yourself. Don't go to war with only 200 guns. Don't rattle your sword saying, "no force in Black Africa" can defeat you, then lose 1/3rd of your territory within 2 months of fighting.

And. . . try not to get cut off from the sea next time:

This leads to the second importance of the Bonny capture.  It pinpoints the failure of Biafran leaders to appreciate the incredible consequence of losing their sea lines of communications.  They did not see the need to secure adequate sea power before the war began and were unable to correct their shortcoming when it became apparent how serious the Federals were about enforcing their blockade of the Biafran coastline.  The New York Times noted at this stage of
the war that Biafra had a "better-than-even chance of survival" , but that it was,  "clear, that the East cannot survive for many months unless the naval blockade is broken."(10)  Instead of confronting this problem, however the Biafrans turned inward.
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/report/1984/SMR.htm

Unless you want to blame the incompetence of your leaders also on Yorubaland?  grin

question for every Nigerian there?

with the progress Dangote has made making him the 51st richest in the Forbes list

has it not hit our heads that they way forward is investments in our resources especially agric,

Jesus drop this oil shit beginning to annoy me

seems like Oil here means influence and how much you should contribute
Re: Yoruba Oil Blocks For Those That Say We Dont Have Oil In Yoruba Land. by edoyad(m): 7:17am On Mar 31, 2011
^ My main problem with Dangote is his refusal to put down in literature his ideas, strategies and general approach to business in Nigeria. If he did it would help a lot of youthful minds who've failed to grasp the simple fact that oil is not an actual money spinner , just helps grease the wheels.
Re: Yoruba Oil Blocks For Those That Say We Dont Have Oil In Yoruba Land. by vladimiros: 7:21am On Mar 31, 2011
well its kinda obvious him speaking out would just expose his secrets but still

just as influence, dangote foght his way through,

this should still motivate some states to drop Oil and look at their innier resources

For a yoruba guy,you didnt disappoint me,dumb as usual.Now get it into your thick skull if you can,apart from the few oil wells found in ilaje and apoi regions and a few more obj managed to steal from delta state,yorubaland is as dry as the north,awolowo knows this,he knows that without the east the future is bleak for the west,a condition he shares with the north,hence his reluctance to seccede.
Come on,awo was tracherous and deceitful but he was also wise,he was a pragmatic ruler,if there is oil in the old west,awo would have secceded.

There is nothing special about lagos,not that we are planing on leaving it for anybody.Lagos just happens to enjoy monopoly,we all know why calabar and ph ports are not working,and we know who is responsible for all the commercial activities that attract banks and companies to that city,we dont intend to desert the city,we only intend to use it as an annex to our buisness empire,using its port less and using the eastern ports more,you know turning it into another ibadan.

OK, I trust your judgement over that of the various other sources discussed here in this thread. You are no doubt correct; there is no oil in the west.

No problem. Just continue to pay heavy, heavy taxes that will continue to increase over time. The more trade and traffic there, the better.

No wonder the igbo seem to excel in business than most nigerians,there  are some business skills an igbo seems to have without going to business school.Now one of them is that,no mater the cost price all you need to profit is increase the selling price,every trader in alaba,aba or onitsha knows this,increasing the tax will only end up improvishing the consumers,as the blunt will be passed to them,meanwhile with low tax rate   in the east,goods will be cheaper in the east,causing western consumers to troop to the east,there by turning our annex(lagos) to ibadan.

You dont understand,why will the igbo always dominate the commercial activites of any place they go in Nigeria,does it mean that the locals would rather patronize a stranger than a brother? Does it mean no commercial activity was going on there before the igbo came?These are questions only an igbo can answer,the answers to these questions and more is want stands us out and makes us more succesful than other nigerians and they are not taught in the business school(it can only sharpen it),they are in built.

How about we focus on Agriculture, Manufacturing, tourism,IT , e.t.c .I mean South Africa has no oil but contributes a staggering 17% to Africa’s total GDP.

We should stop focusing on oil and gas,it will be our downfall if we do. If Nigeria breaks up, i will throw my hat into the ODUA presidential race.ODUA oni baje o!

I disagree with you,no one need Dangote's memoirs to become successful.Just take a look at Lagos ,many igbos with no formal education built their businesses from scratch selling spare parts e.t.,c and they are multimillionaires today.I built my business in South Africa from scratch investing in IT,digital Entertainment and property and i am well off today.You don't need dangote ,you need freedom to access information,leadership programs e.t.b .The internet helped shape me into who i am today.Let Nigerians have easy and affordable access to the internet and you will see them perform wonder.

I am sure you know about 419,those guys doing 419 did not read dangote's memoirs but they are able to execute unbelievably intelligent scams that have left professors with their mouths wide agape.What i am saying is that,the will to succeed is second nature to Nigerians.If Nigeria was like South Africa where there is good governance ,world class infrastructure ,rule of law and a disciplined society ,you will see a lot of success stories.

Beside dangote became rich because of his corrupt affiliation with the likes of IBB and co just like adenuga.The monopoly he enjoys in several industries is illegal.He should not be a role model but a prisoner in Kirikiri.

@OP

Some peeps are ignorant to the skull. The crude oil deposits allegedly found in the territorial waters of Nigeria do not belong to Yoruba or any state in Yoruba land. Even when crude oil is discovered onshore within Yoruba enclave, the resource belongs to Nigeria and the state where oil deposit is struck can be mentioned for sake of remuneration.

However, if Nigeria will see disintegration in future such alleged crude oil desposit could belong to the Republic of Oduduwa.
