omaigala: Laying claims of investing billions in setting up a refinery is baseless, nobody asked or forced em to invest in it in the first place.

Who were you referring to, the Kogi government or that of Anambra?

Some pple like causing trouble. For Gods sake, d bulk of dat oil is in anambra state. There is oil in kogi but not in large quantity for d state to be named an oil producing state. They should allow peace to reign pls cos they cant fight anambra state. D combined force of aguleri, umuleri and Otuocha foot soldiers is not something to joke. with. Am nt an anambrarian or kogite pls, b4 u start bashing me

Diligence: From a source recently, i learnt that this oil/gas is about 88% in Anambra, 8% in Enugu and abt 4% in Kogi. Please get it straight: virtually every state in Nigeria has some oil/gas but not all wld become oil producing becos their deposits are not commercial enough!

The oil wells being used now is definitely well inside Anambra territory.But the expanse of the oil field strays slightly into Enugu,and Kogi. It is clearly a case of bad belle or jealousy for Kogi to claim that the present oil wells are owned by them. So why didn't they make the stupid claim since, until GEJ confirmed for himself that Anambra was an oil bearing state?
Aguleri-Otu had always been a part of Anambra and Eastern Nigeria. Indeed, some people from that part of the state had lived so much in peace with the neighboring Igala clans for centuries.All that will soon change.

aobi is just a fool we are waiting 4 national boundary commission 2 deleanate the boundary and the fools rush into comissioning bo misinforming the president and before the house of reps went 4 brake a committe was set and given 4 weeks to investigate the activities of orient oil in parts of kogi state and the encrouchment of anambara state into parts of kogi state.the revenue mobilisation and fiscal planning also told anambara state that the 13 % is not automatic that decleration alone dont just make u an oil producing state .before u are payed they will together with the surveyor general ,national boundary comission know the location of the wells and the state its belongs to and payment be made to the state.
Building a local refinary dont just make u an oil producing state ..please anambara should leave our 5.5% for us and see if the refinary will survive .u couresd children of ibo are here shouting why ur leader are trying 2 decieve u.the main oil wells are located in ibaji the empty wells in urside is producing 88% .and that of ibaji 5.5% shay thank u ndi ibo 4 ur arithmetic. Ok leave the 5.5% for us na problem as far as the so called anambar basin is concern the only parth u can drill and reasonable quantity of oil is through the ibaji axis .abi na anambara get baji .wetin ibos the find 4 igala land una go get am 2 the fullet

Beer palour yarns grin Iya basira, give this guy a bottle of Star for his aimless drivel.

Ewu. I am here trying to give solution in how the two state can solve this dribble and you are here mouthing off. Wetin be your problem sef?

Kogi is of fault, yes. They have no right to claim your state oil, yes. They have no right to piggyback from your hardwork, yes. Trying to steal anambra oil is wrong, yes but Anambra is also at fault. You guys are already drilling from aguleri area and other places so just leave the one in kogi. If they continue, after orient left then a more precise solution have to appear. That is what i am saying.
Re: Obi : Anambra Owns Disputed Oil Field by negedoms: 11:42pm On Sep 14, 2012
with out scientific facts this bastards keeps bring out figures and %ages to decieve who u have 4gotten about biafran war so soon or u think it was the core north that fought the war the ibos should re think be 4 we carry out ethnic cleaning on them .if u want to drag oil wells we wount give u that opportunity .ibo don stop to theif 4 road na crude una wan steel now
Re: Obi : Anambra Owns Disputed Oil Field by negedoms: 11:53pm On Sep 14, 2012
if u ar well schooled and u know the georaphy then u will understand that the only place u can drill and geteasy acces to the crude is from ibaji ur pple are not telling u the truth cus they have private stakes in the project ..doesnt it supprises u till date no boby have fought over the oil cus most of the wells are in igala communities in ibaji local govment ur leaders are just trying 2 deprive kogi of 13% oil money after they will still make billions in the refinary. If those wells were in anambara they would have gone to the extend of showing videos of the place on media but they are afraid 3 of the wells is located in igalla community who gave them house for orient quaters
Re: Obi : Anambra Owns Disputed Oil Field by OneNaira6: 11:54pm On Sep 14, 2012
^^^dude you are not even igala nor Kogi. Sit down. Everyone else is giving input using their real ID and you had to go create a new one just to talk sh1t. What are afraid of?

I keep informing those with multiple ID. If you are going to pretend to be someone else, do yourself a favor and CHANGE YOUR WRITING STYLE. It is your dead give away

Wonder why some people thinks Oil is only in the SS or SE,Oil is everywhere in Nigeria
Re: Obi : Anambra Owns Disputed Oil Field by EagleNest(m): 11:46am On Sep 15, 2012
How come Kogi State have not gone public about the ownership ever since the time of award of block to exploration and production.
All of a sudden, just after the commissioning they realized that some of the oil were in Kogi side. Well, it will be clear soon.
Hope it will not be similar to Cross-river vs Akwa-Ibom saga.
Re: Obi : Anambra Owns Disputed Oil Field by Dainfamous: 11:47am On Sep 15, 2012
Echidime: Wonder why some people thinks Oil is only in the SS or SE,Oil is everywhere in Nigeria
oil is not everywhere in Nigeria,if that is possible why cant other states and region start drilling their oil? An english man will say he believe in figures not by mouth....
Re: Obi : Anambra Owns Disputed Oil Field by bigfrancis21: 2:17pm On Sep 15, 2012
Diligence: Obi nna thanks for making it crystal clear ... to ur tents everyone and if u know u hv oil/gas "IN COMMERCIAL QTY" then do what others hv done and become Oil producing state. Period!

gbam! you're on point my brother. where have the kogiites been all along when huge sums of money were invested since Mbadinuju's time? Moreover the Ibaji area where the Kogi people are claiming is not even rich with crude oil deposits in viable quantities.
Re: Obi : Anambra Owns Disputed Oil Field by cjrane: 3:52am On Sep 17, 2012
Indeed, there is also an Ibaji area in Anambra. Indeed,Anambra had always had two native languages Igbo and Igala. Go and research the history books.While i support the National Boundaries Commission to demarcate the exact border between Anambra and Kogi, let me sound a serious note of warning to Anambra people not to accept any new map drawn after 1st October,1960. We all know on Independence day, 1st October 1960,the border in dispute today is the border between the former northern region and the former eastern region, clearly demarcated by the original British map. That border has not changed since 1960 inspite of all the state creations, so Anambra should not accept any abrakadabra new map drawn after the original British drawn map at Independence.That original map must be found and used,not all the useless maps generated by dubious people with computers manipulation of the scales.

One_Naira:

So judging from this quote. The oil is within Anambra River Basin which spreads to Enugu, Anambra and Kogi (just like orient company stated) but one state is trying to lay claim of all the oil found within that river basin and claiming it's only there's been drilled despite the owner of the said company in question said otherwise.

This post kinda contradicted the orient company comment before the whole dilemma started






Shouldn't the orient company owner be the ones telling us where they drilling as oppose to the deputy governor? SMH. So all this has a political agenda behind it. Wow, greediness is not a good thing. Like I said the best way to solve the whole problem is for Orient company to leave the one in Kogi state and focus on the rest. In my opinion that is the best solution that would benefit both states. After doing so, if Kogi state still lay claim to Anambra part of the oil then take they should just take it to the court. As of now, both states are of fault

The fault is from both sides,
1 The managment of orient oil who dellibratly ignore kogi state in media declaration of the oil wells, if kogi had not talk we wouldnt know anything by now.
2 The president who just declare something without doing his assignment on the oilfeild, presidential declaration is very important, cos it means alot especialy a country like Nigeria with more power.

For Peter obi i will not blame him because they call something good your own, offcause he will not reject it, because it is not only oilfeld that will be anambra but the entire land and resource around. If you are futuristic economist and resources manager you will understand what it means.
Re: Obi : Anambra Owns Disputed Oil Field by seunfly: 7:44am On Sep 17, 2012
ignis:
Technology has gone far and left you behind. Don't you know that there is what we call Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) - with this its possible to be in anambra and direct teh drilling bit to kogi state underground, without actually going to kogi.
Take heart... U can guide you kogi all night

What a greedy individual you are, just because you want somebody's resources haahaa!!! Will you be happy if you are the one they want to steal his resource like that? Now am begining to smell foul and comspiracy on path Orient oil, peter obi and anambrarians used Jonathan as a pawn. Don't get me wrong am not 4rom kogi neither am i from north central, but the truth must be told.
Re: Obi : Anambra Owns Disputed Oil Field by Dainfamous: 11:27am On Sep 17, 2012
FG named Anambra 10th oil production state,there is no time Federal government said he named three states 10th oil production states.so whoever want to fight over that should know that it's federal and anambra state governments that he is fighting.
