You must be a demented old f00l for saying that. Anambra state and its people invested on the entire project. So it belongs to Anambra people. Aguleri is being mentioned as against other states is because Aguleri is capable of razing down kogi state. If Anambra as a state comes in then Kogi people will relocate to Sokoto. Fact!

thoth:
please don't call me names.
Ask the anambrarian beside you will see that his notion of whom the oil belongs to does not include himself. Forget the image we would all like to project on the internet but this is the truth on the ground.
And when you say anambara invested you fail to understand the elitist ,capitalist and exploitative nature of such investments in they sense that after all the fracas and violence the real investors would appear to reap their returns, that is after you have fought and lost relatives in the name of Anambara.

Suncastor77: Hmm dis is nigeria 4 us where the only the sector of the Economy where government and idividual can invest is in pextroleum mean while there are other natural resources 4 the federal government 2 mine but they are mostly concern with oil.Nooni joo!!

Klinee: Am from the area and am from anambra.most of the oil well is located mostly in this towns nzam(highest number of oil well),innoma,ukwala,aguleri otu-anambra.ika(2nd highest number of oil)obale,eshenwo-kogi.ogurugu is the only enugu town there.in all those towns,aguleri otu is only igbo speaking town there and they occupy small amount of the land there and that is where they locate there site which is not surpose the problem is that anambra didnt know,they thought that its their own igala without knowing that they have enter kogi igala.many of you think that once they mention enugu and anambra that they are all igbos.but know it now am igala and am from anambra.the issue is not igbo and igala,its the three states to settle it without tribal sentiment.i support anambra becus am from there but ur tribal comment is too much.ika and aguleri otu speak different language but they live like brothers and sisters.then y will u use tribal sentiment to destablize them.95% of the oil wells are own by igalas in anambra,kogi and enugu.then y all this tribal comments igbo or not igbo.leave it for the states to decide not igbo or igala

What side started this whole quarrel?

I don't think that the statement from Aguleri (per this news) came out of the blue.

anonimi: At the end of the day the proceeds of the oil will first go to Abuja where it will be shared by all the states (19 in the north and 17 in the south).
Thereafter some crumbs (13% derivation) will get to the oil producing state and very little gets to the oil producing LGA, talk less of the oil producing village/community.
Did anyone see the pictures on the thread for Bayelsa state oil communities
Compare to Abuja and other non oil-producing areas.
Unlike with agricultural produce which also depends on the nature of the soil.
Is it not time to revert to the pre-January 1966 coup federal revenue CONTRIBUTION formula for GREATER all-round productivity nationwide

thoth:
It really does not interest me who started the brawl , what concerns me is the psychological impact on the unity of the Igbo nation, the efficiency which it grants the opportunist to blow the notion of anambara or enugu to achieve their selfish goal and sustaining that mindset if it assures more profit. A larger sense of being a minority is already being created by the Kogis on Anambara Igala(Innoma,nzam etc) and these people no longer feel at home since their sense of royalty is now questioned by both sides, whatever becomes the outcome these events would shape the perception of the constituting inhabitants of that area and would largely affect their decision or policies on future events and loyalties as well.
Igbo nation is expecting a decisive event in the future and these little events is what will shape and define their capability and also ability attain their objectives in such theater.
These considerations shapes national policies and igbos still don't see themselves as a nation. They all have forgotten the strategic importance of Idah during the civil war and none has learned nothing. Honestly i would love to witness the Igbo nation fail again, this time woefully.

nnenna.1:


Are you saying this as an Igbo out of concern for Igbos?

Not exactly sure why you want the Igbo nation to fail woefully.

My Mouth:

Please go and read your history about the igala people and you will discover they are not to be taken lightly when it comes to war.

thoth:
because from contemporary studies quasi nations like igbo nation can not learn from one mistake, they need to really suffer to learn. The black man and in this case the igbo man does not think or plan for the future(pre civil war igbos are an exception) i am igbo.

Tupso: You are just good in Propaganda......that was how Hitler also Ojukwu won the war. you only know about your greedy and criminal people. Do you know anything about the Igala people and war? find out about the Igala and Ibaji in particular and you will keep quiet Aguleri times 100 would not stand the smallest village in Ibaji find out before you run your mouth.....

OK...exactly what do you expect "igbos" to do in this scenario to exhibit better thinking or planning skills?

The two relevant parties here are orient refinery and the FG.

Minor segment: anu mpama

thoth:
It is more deeper than that, proper strategic thinking with a pre-emptive factor is implemented collectively will not only benefit the Igbo nation but will make events turn out in their favor when the next 'Big Thing' since people the interest of people in those areas will be aligned with the interest of the igbos without them feeling used.
I said it was deeper than that because on the igbo side it is composed of elites using the ignorant masses to attain their selfish interests. On the Kogi side it is entirely a different story.

Taa! go and sit in the poo. Who dash you Anambra citizen? You better go back to your caves in kogi or be ready to face the wrath of Anambrans. Imagine a foolish wannebee

Nightshift: Aguleri people are certainly not the only war-loving clan in Igboland. The mid 90s war with their neighbours Umuleri shouldn't be the only yardstick used in measuring their expertise in the art of war. How many Aguleri people joined or fought in the Biafran army? I've never heard about any notable member of Nigerian Army from Aguleri either.

ZUBY77:

Yea, United States will soon hire Aguleri to defeat North Korea

Ok, now u're being cynical. But, who cares?

nnenna.1:


The issue is that Igbo vs. Kogi should not even come up at all in this scenario. The fault lies on whoever first decided to (foolishly) make this a boundary/ethnic issue.

Again, the rights to drill the oil was purchased by a private company that happened to drill on the Aguleri side of the fence. Kogi state is not awarded an oil producing state courtesy of the FG.

I believe someone else mentioned that if this deal was pursued and executed by a foreign oil company, nobody would even blink an eyelid.

thoth: The oil company even though owned by anambrarians is ready to play ball with anybody that benefits them most.

mu2sa2: If u ar on ur own u will destroy urselves.D defeat of biafra was a blessing for the igbo. If ojukwu had had his way ndigbo would hav destroyed themselves by themselves.

ndiofeajoka:

Look at this wawa goat. You only find your voice when it is fellow Igbo. If it is other tribe now, you will run away.
How many of your Enugu people sef fight for Igbo cause? You only fight fellow Igbos. Anumanu.
