I like your enthusiasm but still surprised you guys are not using this "human resources" you so eloquently believe would elevate your region. Btw have you checked the prize of cocoa recently? If your region expect to rely on cocoa for export, then Oguduwa republic is dead on arrival.

This oil you so belive in isn't really felt by the population. I mean, does Nigeria look, feel or operate as an Oil producing Country should?? The larger percentage of money generated from "Your Oil" is used to maintain the most expensive Government in the World, Bunkered off by your kins men, Shared by Niger-Delta ministries and its State Governments and fraudulently used to enrich NNPC top officials and Top Government officials. Its practically crumbs that falls off the table. There will be little difference if this nation divides and its supply is cut off. This Country has never enjoyed the Oil wealth, its only a few that did. Its Abuja that will bear the brunt of it, the west will be just fine.

There is Oil in the SW, Enough for our use. We have other mineral deposits. Plus the hardworking honest people. The natural coastline, The International airport and seaport.

Hey!! I finally get it. Its the Ex presidents, Federal Government officials, Ministers, Senators, Legislators, Governors, top NNPC officials and othe politicians that get to suffer because the Oil money will no longer flow the way it used to. As for the masses in all regions, the oil money never got to you all so life will be business as usual.

The whole braggadocio of some in the ND over "their" oil "feeding Nigeria" is borne of sheer ignorance and intellectual laziness. Ondo Oil and gas contributes 12% to the total output of Nigeria.

http://www.ondostatemoi.gov.ng/node/70

Mineral Resources
Oil and Gas, Ondo State produces 12% of Nigeria's total output. Other mineral resources found in the state are: Quart Sand, Clay, Granite, Limestone, Talc, Kaolin, Coal, Columbite, Rock, Tin, River, Mineral deposits, Bitumen which is the second largest in the world, Ocean fronts and the longest Coastline in Nigeria.

I assume it is common knowledge, for the well-informed anyway, that Lagos is moving closer to joining the ranks of oil producing States.

http://www.punchng.com/news/lagos-oilfield-to-start-production-in-2014/

Lagos oilfield to start production in 2014

JANUARY 2, 2013 BY STANLEY OPARA

By 2014, oil is expected to be produced for the first time offshore Lagos State from the Aje gas and condensate field, which lies in Oil Mining Lease 113 in the Benin Basin, about 43 kilometres offshore Lagos.

The field is currently in the development planning stage, with first production expected in 2014, according to the United States Energy Information Administration’s website.

Aje field is expected to reach a plateau production of between 50,000 to 80,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day. The water depth in the region is 3,000 feet.

Key shareholders in the field include Yinka Folawiyo Petroleum and Chevron.

Finally, no less than Akpabio has admitted that Lagos will be the richest oil producing state if oil dichotomy is abolished. I don't think any of us need to be Einstein to understand that dichotomy will no longer be an Issue if there is no federal Government to direct accrual to the centre since extant Nigerian law that force such will become redundant.

I think many Nigerians really need to educate themselves because the pervasive ignorance displayed here daily is troubling. The mere fact some are still ignorantly going on about oil with more Nigerian States (like Enugu and Anambra) revealing significant deposits continuously is even indicative of how some are highly misguided thinking they will be on top, and others will "suffer", when their appalling lack of knowledge only signifies that they may be in for the shock of their lives if their continuous and highly ignorant noise of separation is honoured.

In my opinion it is an organised, united, productive,tolerant and politically sophisticated populace that is key above all else for me as per the notion of former Nigerian regions thriving as stand-alone new nations. Viewed from this perspective, it is obvious the SW will be fine even as I would not be presumptuous enough to insouciantly and arrogantly state who will "suffer" if Nigeria separate. I leave that to the introspection of ignorant braggarts.

http://tribune.com.ng/news2013/index.php/en/news/item/3449-if-oil-dichotomy-is-abolished-lagos-will-become-richest-oil-producing-state-in-nigeria-akpabio

If oil dichotomy is abolished, Lagos will become richest oil-producing state in Nigeria - Akpabio

I know Nigerians. If the totality of dichotomy is removed, Lagos will produce the highest quantity of oil; yes, because, Bonga oil field is located within the Lagos area, it is a deep sea oil, it produced 800,000 barrels of oil a day. If the issue of dichotomy is removed today and they say there is no longer dichotomy, the state that might be the highest oil producing state in Nigeria today is Lagos.

Things will continue mostly as they are. Being independent in paper doesn't necessarily means that one is independent. Nigeria can be divided into 10 parts yet be controlled by the same people as when it was attached together as one.
on the other hand, we can choose to remain as one yet have considerable autonomy in each region. this is ideal.

dayokanu: The part that would suffer most is the part that cant stay in their own region

The part with red barren clay soil

The part where every adult must flee from if they want to make it in life

The part that car parks every January looks like there is a war going on

The part that visiting the South West is like going to America

The part where the indigenes are afraid to live for fear of being kidnapped and eaten

The part whose governor even had a Special adviser on Lagos affairs

The part that would end up being land locked.

The part that struggles to attache to the South South by force
I also think the part that wud suffer most is that part well- known for credit card fraud in d US, hooliganism and terrorism in d UK and killing and human parts trading in Lagos, Oyo and Ekiti.
A part whose demi god- Awo taught them not to work hard and be self- reliant, but always engage in envy, pulling other pple down and criminally benefit 4rm their success
A part that enjoys slavery so much that they can do anything 4 their slavemasters frm d north just to feed frm their crumbs.
A part that is so dependent on govt that that she cannot survive without stealing and embezzlement, e.g Etteh, Grange, bankole, Balogun, Bode, Babatope, Otedola, Ogunlewe, etc
A part whose other five states in terms of dev and poverty are a shadow of one state Lagos- a collective effort of Nigerians.
A part that enjoys being dirty and petty to their own detriment.
A part that has abandoned her then lucrative Cocoa business 4 oil wealth that belongs to another.
A part full of cowards, noise makers and mudslingers
And finally, a part that is struggling to attach itself to d Itsekiris of Delta cos they have oil.

ba7man: Sadly, there are a lot of dullards above me. There are companies that their annual turn over is far more than the total amount we realize from Oil. Switzland has no oil or natural resource but is far richer than Nigeria, Japan has little resources but is a far richer country than Nigeria. The west has a Vibrant population, crude-oil, Bitumen, Cocoa, Limestone and arable land for cash crops to mention a few. The west will have it best because peace is required for progress. I just hope the South East and Niger Delta region don't get stuck in a battle for control of oil resources because we all know that those kinds of resources lead to civil wars in Africa.
u dnt av to comment. I was particularly enjoying the chilish discussion of d kids above u. They dnt need to be enlightened, they needed to be left wallowing in their false knowledge.

All d info they ever knw is either gotten from nairaland of facebook. No normal kids go on research works these days.

If this was a term paper, imagine d failures!
There is oil in lagos offshore, ondo and ogun state. There are farm lands, bitumen, lime stone, coal, timber, rubber and gold at ilesha.

The plan of the ibos is to dominate the Niger delta and enslaves even Isaac Boro knew the antics of Ojuku and he fought against him.With the likes of Clark and his campaign against alignation with the ibos,the ijaws should feel relaxed about any intimidation from the ibo.you own the oil and don't let nobody dominate you as they did in 19657 !

Some sit on their lazy backsides drinking palmwine and screaming "Our Oil is what's used to develop Nigeria!!!" Which development?? The Oil money has never been felt in this Country...... I just hope those powerful oil bunkerers don't already have an army of millitants and a large stash of weapons to defend their business incase this nation divides(Which i belive they already do)....... Rather than face their leaders that allow foreign companies and other Nigerians exploit them after collecting money, they face the west and say "You will not get our Oil money" Which oil money??

South East (ibos) will suffer the most.

They are scattered all over the world because their place is not habitable.
Their behaviours will catch up with them and they will suffer xenophobic attacks.

Port harcourt ikwerre will deny them and they will be landlocked like uganda etc.infact south south will deny them,they will seek support from ika people of delta and found none

Prices of food will skyrocket there cos they dont give priority to agriculture..

Bad leadership and internal squabble will consume them.

Their elite will return to USA and uk leaving the uwazurikes,chris uba and the orji kalus to finally set the whole place on fire.
Crime will be rampant,it will be free for all.

Eventually they will beg Nigerians to forgive them but it will be too late.

juman: No region would suffer.

Its gonna be terrible. I'll tell you why.

The North will never want to let the rest go freely, but with no support from the rest of the country this time--- and with hunger and starvation staring them in the face--- their populace will flee Southwards ( mainly towards the West) ; skirmishes are sure to abound as their potential hosts try to keep them out.

There will definitely be a power struggle between the SS and SE--- the SE still believes part of the SS belongs to them and they will try for a rematch of 1966-70 in attempts to regain "lost" property. That, plus the realization that they'll be landlocked if they dont go to war will pit them in a deep, long, and bloody struggle with their brothers.

The West will not have this problem as the family all regard themselves as one. From Edo down to Lagos (and probably parts of the Delta) there'll be relative peace--- but they'll be drawn into confrontations with terrorist/refugees from the North and the battles between the SS/SE will leave them stretched and destabilized like their brethren in the North and the SE/SS.

Overall, I do not envision a situation where Nigeria could split peaceful. All I see is total chaos and breakdown of law and order. Its high time Nigerians call their Govts to order to avoid these scenarios.

without oil. No offence to
