Someone said something very significant here but everybody overlooked. I won't quote him but just know that one day, you peoples eyes will be opened in this country. As for now, continue wallowing in your foolishnéss

He won’t be sworn in even if he wins bro

This is Nigeria. Cabals are still very much active. I’m obidient but that’s the fact.

You still think we're playing in Nigeria?

You don't know Obi came fully prepared.

He will win and he will be sworn in and nothing will happen.

Nobody under the Sun nicely treats a saboteur. Backstabbers are left to slow death.

gbam!!

This oil well produced 20 million barrels before being abandoned.

If Bayelsans are smart, they'd still leave it in its abandoned state and focus on other oil fields for now. That oil well is nowhere near done yet.

I know the OP is trying to make a point but I'm looking for it at the moment.

At this era of green revolution

So there is still a nation of the world that is jubilating that it has discovered oil?

When everyone is thinking about how to diversify their economy from oil?

It's not our land that is faulty, it's our brains!

Before oil was discovered in Nigeria,

What was her highest foreign income earner?


It is well?

Stop saying spreading fear, work for Obi to win first

Ijaw leaders should blame theirselves for not seeing the big picture. They helped to destroy their lands and when they wanted to correct it 8 of them were killed including Saro.

More opportunity to loot, unless Obi cuts them off with a victory in 2023.

Ever ask yourself how Obi got $500 million in offshore account

Obi is no different to any politician. He even put Anambra money into his family business sadly.

I think the joke is on those of you who think Obi is your saviour

Stay longer to do what?
That would have led them to be directly accused of being responsible for Nigerias failures.
The British are totally in charge of your Oil assets for decades now through shell.
All the major oil platforms in this country belongs to them.
Infact, in practical terms, Nigeria as a country does not own either her Oil or the assets. We pay rent on those who to big foreign Oil coys.
Do your checks..

You are wrong bro... very wrong
Oil and Gas contracts works in almost the same way in most countries. For instance, in a Profit Sharing Agreement, IOCs (like Shell) invest in oil and gas exploration and production, they recover cost of exploration and production first, then share profit with the government.
Note: The IOC pay Royalty to government irrespective of profit or not. So most times government receive Royalty, Tax, and share from profit. The amount that goes to IOCs at the end of the day may be a meagre 20 to 16% but they do all the works

Let nobody deceive you, Oil will forever (i.e. in the forseable future) be relevant. From your food, to your drugs, to your clothes, everything comes from Oil.

I have been working for Obi and spreading the good news about him. But sometimes we just need to be realistic. An average northern won’t vote for Obi. And we know Obi needs the northern vote to win this election.

Ok. I couldn’t agree more. Let’s just hope for the best. But Obi needs the northern to win this election.

Walahi people always bashing the British.
Even though they get their own for body if the British stayed longer we would be another south Africa type in the making. Imagine British staying till 1990's.
Using our oil for massive infrastructure growth just as they did with mere cocoa and rubber.
It will be a situation of chop I chop, British chop 60% Nigerians chop40% (which is way better than the over 90% consumed by corrupt leaders).
Walahi we would have easily been the best country in Africa competing with the likes of India with massive infrastructural growth.

Nigeria has to be sold this time to the Chinese

una too like mumu talk. when the British left, people in villages still troop out to savour the ecstasy of seeing a car. Roads were untarred, no electric pole anywhere. Nigerians lived off farm produce like yam and palm oil and people were dying of disease from drinking erosion water(they'd put alum) as a result, you catch a boil and there's a worm inside. una no know wetin una dey talk. you think Brits know you exist? they only want to buy cheap cocoa, rubber etc and live lavishly in London.
You can't compare South Africa to Nigeria, British settled in South Africa

An oil well is like the ex of a womaniser.

When you have tested all the available styles with her, you just dump her and move to the next victim. They even call it abandonment in drilling

Oloibiri is now Nigeria's ex.

OneCandleAway:
If only the British were aware of the amount of oil we have, they might have fought to stay longer

And maybe we would have been in a better mess than we are

Offpointng:


And Nigeria would have been twice better than it is atm. If they had stayed longer,some idiots wouldn't have ruled us

Nope, Nigeria would have been a broke country, with a poorly developed rural area, and a few developed urban centers..

The British would only provide anemites to areas that benefit them directly...they won't give your village light, or build a hospital in your local government area.

And most Nigerians would be poor. Very poor.

Nigeria is broke because we sell things like oil...whose prices does not favour us. Meanwhile, China is very rich because they sell manufactured goods and servicies at prices they set.....meaning they earn enough money.

Even South Africa...MOST black people living in SA are poor, uneducated and definetly do not live in big houses with swimming pool.

Some areas of that country look developed, but those are the regions that benefit the whites directly.

Compare and contrast the first oil field in Oloibiri Bayelsa state southern Nigeria

The one in the Kolmani oil field site, located in Gombe/Bauchi States northern Nigeria

Note: picture 1 and 2 Bayelsa
Picture 3 and 4 Gombe

If Briatain was aware of the oil in Oloibiri it would delay our independence till 2023!

Now we can divide the false contraption peacefully

Guy , dont mind those people always blaming the White or English as the genesis of our problem. They forget to note that, if the White had stayed back till year 2000 we would have been better off than our current situation.
I wish the Oyibos never left us at the Mercy of those our useless greedy politicians.

One Obidient has faced reality squarely!

I can't blame Northerners for all this

Yes, I can blame the military guys for some of this issue, but to come dey blame Northern Politicians Lai Lai, I will not.

Jonathan became the president of Nigeria,he can't point to a single Tangible thing he did for the Niger Delta.

He didn't clean up any part of the Niger Delta,He didn't make sure any of the ports in the Niger Delta function effectively, I no fit point at a single tangible thing Jonathan did for us.

Immediately he was elected to become the President of Nigeria, Jonathan said there's nothing wrong with the structure of Nigeria and our unity is non negotiable.

Wetin Governors for Niger Delta dey do? Most of them just dey busy dey chop money without anything to show.

Obi that will use the money realise from it to buy investments that would latter turn next to nothing.

That's my fear..not whether he'd win or not. Obi will comfortably win next year's election. The question is, will they hand over to him? That's why I keep saying next year's election will either make or mar us as a nation

India has a large poor populaiton...it is just Nigeria with more industries.

(I know people who have lived in and visited India. ).

If the British stayed, we would have been even more underdeveloped than we are. The only developed regions would have been the areas considered useful to the British.

Nigeria is underdeveloped because we sell 2bn dollars worth of cocoa, which a company in Europe uses part of to make products worth 17 billion dollars. We only want to import things, not make them.

You want the British and Chinese to build nice things for you. That's not how it works.
