Why do you forget what God gave yoruba ? Well, let me help you out. God bestowed WISDOM to the yorubas.

Yeah right!

I'm not vexed when people from that area are making it from oil, its their birth right I'm just vexed when a prostitute from yoruba will own more than one oil well why the owners languis . Biafra must take place indeed and we'd block this wells. God has equipped each tribe, to the hausas he gave Nama(cow) their leader has 150 of them, yourbas he gave.. I've forgotten, Igbos he gave oil,business intellect,strength etc so y not go to ur tents o Isreal.

Hope u know Delta State has got Notn to do with with Biafra. We r from the South South not South East

Pls,you mind telling me how old He was at that time? I spent my childhood in the former Bendel state before it was divided into Delta and Edo and from the much I know,the owner of Leone star drilling was a young man as at that time. He was younger than most of the big boys in Sapele as at that time. When people like Victor Odebala and Omo Gaye were making waves,I think He was just coming up then. And when I say young chap,I do not mean He's my age mate. He was young when He went into oil exploration. My parents were working in the two first banks in Sapele then and that's how I got to know most of these people. We used to go for picnic at the Sapele atlantic club. Dad was a manager at the Pontu branch,while mum worked at the Boyo road branch. By the way,how old is Edirin? I'd like to know what age bracket you classed me in.

I wanted to reply him but your response has done justice to it. If he had read your post well he would have noticed you said "as far back as the 80's".

Do igbos now owned the south-south? Which oil are you talking about? Have Nigeria even drill a drop of oil in Biafra? Don't be greedy like your Ojukwu. Mark out your landlocked territory very well this time, Don't make the same mistake over again.

Anambra imo and abia n have oil. Enugu has coal and ebonyi has limestone and abundant mineral resources too.

Nice write up. Enlightening.

There's the rumour of okotie-ebihs and edewor wealth we used to hear back in the days though.

Kagame:


Please stop disgracing yourself and your tribe.

I know you are not Igbo by the way cos an educated Igbo wont exhibit such crass ignorance.

Ignore this dude, hes here to ferment trouble.

Thank you for injecting common sense into his brain.

How childish of you,people like you don't go far in life.I am an igbo man and this same yoruba people u talked about in d this manner are the same people who have given us the igbos an enabling environment to do our business in Lagos and all the other south western states.U should be ashamed for making such statement if truly u are an igbo man.

Delta has the best potential to become number 1 destination for investors in Nigeria . This great potential is damaged mainly due to the negative attitudes of most of its youths and those who claim to be their leaders. E.g Why should a coy that wants to execute a project which would impact positively on the majority be asked to pay "Deve" or pack and go? It is pathetic. Deltans be wise!

Who are the billionaires employing? Because I dont really understand the meaningful impact you meant.

053 should be Edo. I remember our landline at home in Delta then,was 054-41792(if I'm not mistaking). I remember how we used to pick up our panasonic phone and dial dad and mum at work and after that,we'd look up the directory,and start dialling different office numbers. Our neighbour upstairs had the old ring phone where you'd have to put one finger in no,ring it to the right,then put the finger in the next no and ring it again till you dial your complete no. For whatever it was,I found that old ringer more exciting than ours that was modern and all buttons. Memories of the good old days.

God bless the State of Delta!

Delta is 053

I must say this is the most senseless post i have read this year.

Oil is now like water, it is found literary everywhere in Nigeria, Africa and even the USA have it more abundantly. My question is have we started drilling it in the South-East? Then why the bragging?

You sure? What code were we using when it was still Bendel state?

A state with potential but backward minded people. Its shocking to experience some places not having light for 1year...

All the billionaires that have not made any infrastructural development in Delta State. They should go and see what their mates are doing in the east. Which Delta State "rich man" owns a radio station whose signals are received in neighbouring states?

ignoramus, the owner of brila fm is from delta state. I'm not sure you even have a radio.

meshacha1:
Me too will be a billioner (am saying those things which be not as though they were)
Hit like if you will be a billioner too?

Future billionaires don't beg for likes in Nairaland,they produce likes...mtcheeeew!

The era of chief Okotie-Eboh preceeded most of these other guys,I think. Those ones are the Lords of the Delta.

I don't know the code you were using then but I've always used 053 for Delta and 052 for Edo.

Blackvampire:

Am am also from anioma. And Anioma is just a part of Delta. So it's wrong for d guy I quoted to refer to d whole of Delta as Biafra. Wetin concern Urhobo, okpe, Isoko, nd d rest with Biafra? U are Anioma nd u support Biafra, am Anioma and I don't support it.

illswift:
Mahn he said in the 80's. Read well

Late Chief Idisi was most likely a grand father in the 80's. there's no way he is old enough to call Idisi a young man. People old enough to call Idisi a young man are presently at least 80.

I am not bragging but stating mere fact. And I think oil is being drilled in imo and abia already hencr their inclusion on list of nndc states. Anambra is seriously campaigning to be member of nndc. Abeg give it up. SE no dy lack oil.

How can you be a billionaire with out having a multi national business? Oil Money!!! And the foolish Southsouth people will claim that the North consumes their oil while chiefs becomes billionaires. SOUTHSOUTH THE MOST FOOLISH PEOPLE IN NIGERIA.....

Aiit. Did you live in the defunct Bendel state before it was broken into Edo and Delta?

You are a liar, you never lived in that region. You are telling what someone told you as if you were there.

Lone star is probably the first company in Nigeria to drill into oil well side ways, yes you heard me right, their rigs can frack and even before the birth of lone star drilling, Chief was a big oil worker. Victor was petty when Chief made money.

So Victor is older than Late Chief Humphrey Idisi, lol Eloh must see this nonsense. Omo Gaye had money in the 80's, when was he able to finish his filling station? To this day he has not completed the building in Gaye Petrol.

Please do not come online to say what you do not know hoping no one will be there to vet you.

All these cannot be compared to oil base in Delta. Ibori and his cousin Uduagha did nothing in the state. Imagine the Asaba Okpanam road is death trap,DLA road through Ibusa road is very bad,there is no constant light in Asaba,but issele Azagba a neighbouring town enjoys almost 23 hours light in a day.
Just two weeks ago,I noticed that the street light that they normally put on in the night on the express way between Issele Azagba to old toll gate Asaba or before God is good motors park were not on,even a drive through Nnebisi road around 10pm everywhere was very dark. Except for some joints that had their generator on.
A trip to Ogwashi Uku in the night is something else,there is no light in the Polythenic town. Too bad. What are Deltans enjoying as an oil rich state.
Though Abraka has a better structure in the university compared to a decade ago.And the people are not asking questions,all these governors are not different from military rulers. You need to see how they and their entourage drive rough on our high ways with their hilux and Jeeps,they even hit the poor innocent citizens and run sometimes.
I did not see Okowa doing anything different in Delta state,what about our local government chairmen,do we hold them accountable? Even the councillors,they are only there to fill their pocket and not to serve the people.until we in Nigeria state asking questions about how our resources are spent by our public office holders,much will not be achieved. Our orientation must change for good.
Go to Ogun state see what Amosun has done,building roads,overhead bridges. One of such roads is going from Ojodu Berger to Sango through Agbado. Many upstairs were pulled down between Agbado and oke aro. Though some roads like Adiyan road,itoki,opeilu etc are still bad,but the man has done better than Gbenga Daniel.
Go to Uyo and see what Godswill has done,building a big state of the art stadium,roads,hospitals etc.

Uduagha is best governor on the paper because it was an arranged thing,but in reality,the likes of BRF of Lagos,Amosun of Ogun,Godswill Akpabio and former governor Peter Obi of Anambra has all done better than him. Even Osho of Edo,I am talking of places I have been to and know personally not based on what I read on paper.
