What's the point leaving it to waste? I call on Dagote, Ifeayi Ubah, Otedola, all wealthy Nigerians, the FG and States government to do something about that huge deposits of coal. Many countries get significant percentage of their power from coal, It would equally create jobs for millions of Igbos and Nigeria as a whole. But the dumb FG prefer to spend over $20bn for Nuclear powerplants.

What of d solid mineral deposit in d north

Those are already being explore by wealthy mallams and the locals in the states, Many still remains untapped nevertheless. The government needs to step in to get significant revenue from the exploration.

Seun, Obinoscopy, lalasticlala maybe you need to remind the FG that we have other untapped resources.

Who is FG and why Enugu aagain?

But nobody is stopping you people from exploring yours. Why can't any of your wealthy individuals do something about the coal deposits and make billions for themselves like Dagote is doing. The Federal government refuse to explore the many mineral resources in the North so wealthy mallams and northerners took it upon themselves and make money from it, mainly from Gold, Limestone(cement) and Lead(Zamfara). As a result more than 3 of the country largest cement manufacturer are in the North. I don't like wastage, No even illegal mining going on in Enugu.

You are a mad man. So individuals should mine? If yes then why should people not take oyel as they like? Why clamping down on pipeline vandals. Come to enugu and mine na and see what will happen to you, so government should leave individuals to mine from the north and when it comes to biafraland its "our collective wealth" Maaad people. Idi0ts everywhere

Clean coal debate.

That's true. Coal is virtually found in many states in Nigeria and we have one of the best in the world.

well, why has the enugu state government not built a coal power plant and started looking for investors to tab the coal and generate electricity?

Leave those coal deposits alone for the future, you moronns.
Significant gas is already being wasted in Nigeria.

Honestly, the coal need to tapped. A Lot of utilities is embedded in coal. This was what developed Europe in time past.

You are a bastard, If the FG doesn't mine the coal you will scream marginalization, If they decide to mine it na problem. You can starve on your coal, Luckily huge deposits have been discovered in Edo state. I hate Nigeria too, but the earlier you realized we aren't splitting anytime soon the better for. You better start planning on making it in Nigerian than starving yourself hoping you will separate one day.

Your father is a môron, Why did i even created this thread. You think i am here to take part in your stûpid tribalism, I don't care about you conehéads, Flàtheads and the Almajiris up North. I only care about the progress of the country as it is obvious we aren't dividing anytime soon. The FG can leave the coal for you to starve on while they explore that of Edo, Hope you don't come back to scream marginalization in the future.
