Offshore drilling? Why are they behaving as if oil is the only natural resource we have in Nigeria? |
Re: Nigeria's Oil Will Be Gone In 43 Years(article) by Kobojunkie: 11:22pm On Mar 10, 2008 |
stillwater: Since the discovery of oil in the country it has practically been the "only" natural resource we have in Nigeria as in, the focus has been placed primarily on that. I mean if you consider what the average Nigerian knows of the country, most know we have oil but not many know that we have iron, aluminum and other resources that we also mine. I can not wait for the oil to disappear cause I so want to see people go back to farming and other things. |

After the oil is gone, will you guys come and please help us clean Niger Delta rivers before we finally break up into our constituent nations? |

The resources of Nature are in "excess" abundance when that in Rivers, Beylsea,Bonny, Akwa ibom etc are exhusted (and Man still have need of Oil) another well will be discovered in Zamfara, Kogi, Taraba and their likes. Man shall never lack that which sustains his life, if this simple natural rule is voided then simple existence would stop and that alone makes a mockry of the Creator, the process and the reason of creation. Man is a user of "things" and therefore he can't be without THEM. |

This isn't news. Oil is a finite resource, the Global reserves are been exhausted, yes Oil is diminishing, but before then the question is whether Nigeria will take advantage of the Oil boom and transform it's economy. Non Oil resources are now accounting for a larger share of the economy, so this isn't news. The Non Oil resources in Nigeria are vast, so I doubt Oil will be missed. Oil is not a curse and it will never be a curse. The problem with this nation is not Oil and it never has been. If things do not change in society then Oil will be preceded by a new resource to be misappropriated by the Government. So Please don't give me this unintelligent remarks about good riddance or it will translate to a new dawn in leadership or in the make up of the country. Oil is nothing more than it is, google it. |

Can it be "gone" any sooner? May be through some cataclysmic event. I'm working my prayers on it. |
Re: Nigeria's Oil Will Be Gone In 43 Years(article) by DRANOEL(m): 4:04pm On Mar 13, 2008 |

I was hoping it would be gone in 5 yrs. . . |
Re: Nigeria's Oil Will Be Gone In 43 Years(article) by chidichris(m): 5:20pm On Mar 13, 2008 |
wow! it means Biafra will become a reality in 43 years. when the oil is gone, we will know the real businessmen in nigeria. pls tell them to prolong the life span of our oil so that money laundary and looting of public funds will continue. the end of oil in nigeria will end many things and many things will begin or ressuret. the real armed robbers will re-surface. there will be free and fair elections in nigeria as people will no longer see election as a do or die affairs. there will be no more efcc. young men and women will quit politics. |

Nigeria is such a paradox and we have no one but our selves to blame. How can we be so rich yet so poor? Leadership must really hate the people, that is the only explanation. I mean, they must really despise the people. In a normal and sensible disposition, resources like ours are celebrated and are used to enrich the country and the people. A large bitumen deposit was not too long ago discovered in the country, and i am sure if there is a new element discovered it would be found in Nigeria, AND STILL? This is really disheartening. When is Nigeria going to wake up? We really need to open our eyes and get angry about things if not thesame people who have lead the country for the past 40 or so years will continue to walk over the people. We should not be relying on just one resource, wasn't the north supplying the country with food before? So what happened to competition? Governments of regions are not competitive towards progression anymore, they have just become lazy and content with wallowing below medocrity. 10 months of Yar Adua, and what has been done? Have we really taken steps forward or backwards? How abundantly blessed are we with natural resources? And yet people have the audacity to call on God. He keeps on giving us opportunity but we keep on choosing poverty. How painful 1 Like |

good news. |
Re: Nigeria's Oil Will Be Gone In 43 Years(article) by jkpretty(f): 10:52am On Mar 14, 2008 |
Times without number i've heard this. The question is can it actually be gone? |
Re: Nigeria's Oil Will Be Gone In 43 Years(article) by chidichris(m): 11:34am On Mar 14, 2008 |
won't it be nice if we pray that the so called oil finish this year. the so called oil was given to us as a gift of blessing but the reverse has become the case as the products of our so called oil have become, kidnapping, looting, vandalisation, money laundary, killings at low and high places, electorial malpractices to gain access to the oil. anyway, let the will of God happen. |
