Why would any hausa/fulani be in possession of any oil bloc in the first place?

Is there oil in the north? NO

So why would you own an oil block in my backyard? Ndi ara!

A conspiracy theory is easy to concoct. Any simpleton can do that.

I work in the oil industry and I take it as a hobby.

Can you say from where you derive your source of this all-coveted-but-often-shrouded-in-mystery knowledge of oil block owners!?

Please don't misunderstand me. I can't verify the truthfulness of the published report about the oil block owners, because such business transactions are classified, and it's shrouded in top secrecy. Weighing the two entities making accusations and counter accusations(Senator Ita Enang and Thisday Newspaper), I choose to lean towards the Senator for very obvious reasons, I can share these reasons if you care. This is a report Senator Ita Enang published to the Senate house more than two years back, Thisday is only publishing it's report this week. It's a hoodwink. Thisday's report came only after Buhari has emerged as Presido. Don't you see? What I'm saying in essence is that senator Ita Enang is more powerful and disposed to accessing classified information about our country, being a senator, than Thisday newspaper, owned by a politician, who's desperate to continue to distract us while smiling to the bank. Both the Senator and Thisday Newspaper might be wrong here, but I'm more disposed to believing the Senator than Thisday Newspaper.

2) MOST oil blocks (88%) are owned by foreign multinational companies, are you angry that Nigerians have a paltry 12% share in their country's oil and gas business?
3) Are you aware oil producing States get 13% derivatives, Ministry of Niger Delta ,amnesty deal and CSR from oil companies? In addition to lucrative pipelines protection contracts, oil bunkering and illegal refineries?

I think, what you guys should do is to collaborate with one another (all the who's who in the oil producing areas) and form your own companies, that can prospect for oil ,transform your illegal refineries to environmental friendly and efficient refineries that can meet the petroleum demands of Rivers, Bayelsa and Delta States, then watch how you guys will dominate the oil and gas sector of Nigeria's economy and nobody will contest it with you. Its easier to control things with less controversies in the private sector without government interference which will bring jealousy and poke nosing from other Nigerians.

When the oil spills it doesn't destroy the water in the North "naturally", when they flare gas it doesn't disturb the air in the North "naturally" but when it's time to own oil blocks, it becomes a natural endowment for "ONE NIGERIA".

Can you see how crazy you sound? Until Southerners start owning groundnut blocks in the North, Northerners should stay off Niger Delta "natural" resources.
