Agreed... the soil strata, permeability and porosity place a huge part in crude oil accumulation. They should STOP wasting the DAMN money abeg.

I have been saying this all along, it has always been about the oil. Make himself petroleum minister, capture d oil producing states by force (by d way, any news from bayelsa elections?). The north has uranium, gold, tinn columbite, why not channel this funds in these minerals explorations
Or rather fix all our refineries, we can produce enough finished petroleum products to even export to other countries.

Folksyharry:


I already told myself this PMB's move is not a bad idea until I read the part in bold in your post. I believe that would have a more shrewd move. We don't even hear anything about the mining going on in the northern part of the country.

THAT HAS MANY INTELLECTUALS BUT LEFT A DULLARD RULE YOU.


SHAME ON THE SOUTH-EAST THAT HAS NATURAL RESOURCES YET AN ILLITERATE RULES.

SHAME ON THE SOUTH-SOUTH THAT HAS OIL YET AN SHEPHERD RULES YOU.


SHAME ON THE SOUTH-WEST THAT FORMED APC & IS THE BRAIN CHILD OF APC YET A CATTLE REARER RULES YOU.

A SPEACIAL SHAME ON THE SOUTH-EAST, SOUTH-SOUTH & SOUTH-WEST
THAT WILL NOT UNITE LIKE THE NORTH AND MOVE THE COUNTRY FORWARD.

Your likes need to stop following FG foolishly and be realistic.... Nobody will ever buy crude on five years time

The point is, while investigations are ongoing regarding corrupt members of government, we must also move forward from practices that are obviously not beneficial in the face of current realities.

Oil prices are falling, we have an abundance already that we cannot sell, GMB has just returned from a climate change conference from where he should have understood the deleterious effects of green house gas emissions mainly from petroleum. He has also made a case regarding the fast recession of the same Lake Chad which is affecting agriculture. He had made nominal reference to Ogoni clean up which results from the same oil. It therefore stands to reason that further allocation of scarce resources for oil exploration is development in reverse!

He needs to be paying attention to more sustainable practices that will be beneficial to Nigerians in the long run! It will also provide jobs as u mentioned in ur earlier post while preserving the environment.

Sometimes we need to face the bald truth. The North is even the major supplier of the raw materials needed for renewables such as sunlight and wind! That is what a proactive leader should be pursuing and opening up new investment opportunities for. He should be investing in research both of practical and legal regulation of renewables.

Any expense on petroleum should be on building new n effective refineries to put an end to the infernal importation of petroleum products.

Criticism is no crime and it behoves people erring like GMB and supporters like u to look beyond same practices that have yielded nothing much and move on to more sustainable activities. If the anti-corruption crusade will go on while this exploration of oil commences, then it can still go on while Nigeria preserves her arable regions and avoids unnecessary waste of resources.

Buhari should be very careful and not build boko haram into another ISIS by letting boko haram take over the oip fields there

This is the very reason I have lost faith in the nation Nigeria.... Educated fellows will never speak, out youths just follow like mumu dey go, I have written about this stupidity called oil exploration in the Nigerian side of Chad basin... why waste money here since good knows when.... This people need their head to be cracked open to know that they will never find commercial crude there ..... Why will the north always be negative in their politics and all of us will follow them....

If really oil can be found in the Chad basin, why is no major oil exploration companies handle the exploration.... When has NNPC became an expert in that field? Gullible illiterates who are followers of the APC government will see it as a good thing even when its obvious it was a way to swindle money by the northern brothers.

Ok .... How can we be talking about crude when the prophecy of Einstein... The papa of physics is already coming to past.... The word free fuel is it a joke to Africans.... Solar energy being converted to fluid fuel is here and will crash the use of crude oil in the next three years and some mumu dey talk of exploring a region where Comercial crude can never be found.

I repeat .... Nigeria can never find a Comercial crude at our own Chad basin.... It's a very bitter truth

texazzpete:
Oil is still our major earner, and our production will soon be on decline. From exploration to production can take YEARS, so now is the time to look for reserves to replace our depleted volumes...not waiting until oil price becomes more favorable.

Let me be brutally honest here. All the people in this thread that have condemned the Government's exploration efforts are morons.

jideflows:
GEJ started the oil exploration of the Chad basin.. is onosoke a Geologist?? They jst open their mouth to say rubbish... the Norrhern part of Nigeria has oil dont be food. ...

ShowYourCertificate:
When I say Buhari is a dullard some people will be crying. How can Buhari be exploring for oil that is fast losing value? America has stopped buying our oil, very soon others will stop because they are going green. And yet Buhari is looking for oil to sell/use. Isn't that cluelessness?
