Ikengawo:


Imo's Njaba reserve is the deepest in west africa. There's oil all over the state, don't be ignorant. Abia as well and both are in the Niger Delta

Thank you.
I have not been able to find a link to back up this claim of yours though.
And with the deepest reserve and oil all over they account for less than 20%.

9jacrip:
It is only right to cure the affliction of ignorance when discovered, so please kindly enlighten me on how Abia is an oil producing state.

And Imo?

How and when did they start producing oil? I'm not talking discovery of crude oil presence, I am talking production in the class of Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom.

Abagworo come and answer this question please, I'm driving.

@topic, Anambra is an oil producing state. Orient Petroleum is currently doing 2,500 barrels per day. Early days though.

How can you claim that Anambra is an oil producing state? It's is this unnecessary type of haste that is agitating others that are laying a claim to the oil location.

Let the boundary delineation commitee submit it report before you can make definitive statement about the status of Anambra as an oil producing state..

Both states have a combined total of over 300 oil wells steadily producing oil which is exported and the revenue shared among states in Nigeria including your rusty south west states.
Production might not be in the same class with Akwa Ibom, but if the revenue accrued is kept withing the state, it will be 10 times higher than what they currently receive from the FG
Hope that explanation helps.

The disputed oil wells are not the only ones in Anambra, there are others currently producing.
The senator definitely did not present his case like a learned person, but it doesn't mean that Anambra is not an oil producing state.

9jacrip:


I have done that but apart from Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Edo. The others are generally brushed aside or mentioned in passing.

My inference from the above is that the 5 states actually bear the weight of oil profuction and the other states cannot even sustain Nigeria alone with whatever oil they produce.

Lastly, I generally do not expect an oil producing state to be dead like Abia is. It should be merged with Imo, honestly.

I dont blame you. I blame Abians who never see the bigger picture when in a bid to play politics sell a false bad image of their State. In reality and by statistics Aba is richer than Lagos based on per capita income. The pictures of bad roads is just an expression of frustration by sincere Abia citizenry and never a true reflection of the true state of Abia.

Even if it is just 5%, it is still worth a lot more than they receive as revenue under the present arrangement.

How can you be sure of that when because of this issue...lives were lost and the crisis prompted a committee to be set up.

When you look at it as a neutral person....you will see that you are jumping the gun by labeling Anambra an oil producing state at this time.

Allow the committee to submit a definite report and let's see.

The new goverment will strip them off the scam that has been for years.

This shows how Ignorant you are.
Ohaji/Egbema LGA alone in Imo produces more oil than the whole of EDO state

The are disputing one or two oil wells that fell close to the boundary but others which are undisputed are currently producing.
It is simple English.
Anambra is an oil producing state.

Sunnybobo3:


Abagworo come and answer this question please, I'm driving.

The reality is that Rivers State and Bayelsa are the only States every LGA has oil. Delta has oil in half of their LGAs while Imo, Abia, Edo, Akwaibom and Ondo have oil in 1 or 2 LGAs.

Imo's Oguta/Egbema area has been exporting oil for more than 40 years just like Abia's Asa/Ndoki. Google Owaza and Izombe.

ok

They have to ask since you are just busted for same scam and no known oil wells in these states, you are known to lie about everything, plus you are landlocked. You ibo see lying as a weapon of survival, but it will get to a point no single soul would take you serious about anything.

Iykopee:
Lotta stupid posters above moi...one is even asking if abia and imo are oil producing states...

It does but with the 13% derivation it gets only Umuhaia North is the only place to show for it?
Either it has 30,000 oil wells, the fact that it accounts for less than 20% and gets part of the 13% makes no sense.
Its output cannot even sustain just 2 states from the gully erosion ravaged South Least.

Shell produces 25 000 barrels of oil per day from Ukwa west LGA of Abia state alone.
Even if you peg oil price at $50 (N8000)per barrel, you will still be getting as much N200 million a day from that local government alone.
That is N6 billion a month from just one local government and one production company.
How much does Abia receive from the FG monthly?

Anambra politicans have been sucking the balls of d Otuoke man, he should just declare Anambra as oil producing state.

Sir, thanks to NYSC, some of served in Abia, even if for a few months before redeploying.
The real state of poverty and backwardness in that state is the reason why I'm surprised it in an oil producing state even if below 20%.
@ the emboldened: Really? And what is the back up of your statistics? What economic activities are there in Abia to accrue for such an heavenly per capita considering the rate of emigration out of the state to Lagos/Abuja?

You need to chill sir.

I'm not yoruba o, but where is the oil located in anambra state, if I may ask

Bless you Abagworo. I hate engaging in silly arguments when the facts are so glaring. Abia and Imo not oil producing states? I dey laff!
Not because the two states do not engage in oil bunkering and oil militancy doesn't mean they are insignificant in oil production.

Possibly.

Haba bros I produce 2pieces and u produce 1000 pieces ,all no be production?

When Shell shut down production of oil in Ukwa west LGA of Abia state in 2011, they were losing as much as N400 million per day, (N12 billion per month).

Edo cannot boast of 1 barrel today, that is enough fact.

Even jonathan is saying he was misled by the oil producing scam, so na who una go come vote?

these re the people u want the ibos to vote for. If they could denied u what is rightfully yours now that they re not in power, what will happen when they get the power? be wise before it is too late.

9jacrip:


Thank you.
Now let's share the 20% amongst the 3 states in order of production output.
The whole NDDC membership and slamming states into it needs to be reviewed. To me it appears political. And I can guess Imo & Abia became part of NDDC under Jonathan (I might be wrong).

Lumping unworthy states into NDDC is the problem Jonathan has created with the Kogi-Anambra face-off.

Abia and imo has been part of d NDDC since d time of obasanjo... also d only thing dat differentiate Abia, imo and Akwa ibom oil production is d sea(offshore)... a large percentage of Akwa ibom oil revenues comes from its off shore boundaries...
