That's it. I'm through with your dumb-a$$. Shyt, your stvpidity may be contagious.

You should ask yourself What Next For THE CRIMINAL Southwest AND THEIR FULANI SLAVE MASTERS?

THAT IS WHY WE TOLD YOU PEOPLE THAT B.1.A.F.R.A IS NOT ABOUT CRUDE OIL BUT ABOUT addressing THE WICKEDNESS OF THE CRIMINAL/ROGUE COUNTRY CALLED NIGERIA.

THE IGBOS ARE DOING WONDERS WITHOUT OIL.

darqly:


Em, not entirely true. The wonders you are doing IS NOT in igboland. You are astute traders and business managers but ONLY outside your geographical locality. Lets assume you get your B.1.a.f.r.a.land, then all the spare-parts dealers, drug distributors, movie and music distributors etc move back to the promised land- WHAT NEXT?? Will you sell spare parts to one another? or barter movies for medical supplies?
Bia, your biggest and most profitable market is where? It is still the ZOO, call a spade a spade. You sell it, we buy it, end of story!

Hate how this debate turned to a tribal tirade.. This should be about post oil outlook and economic viability of Naija states..

Bryan37:
It's no news that only 13% of 2016 budget will be funded by the SALE of Crude

Which means that Nigeria is gradually diversifying its economy away from the Oil sector which is expected to even "nose down more". By d time Iran starts pumping their Oil into the international Market, also with d demand for cleaner energy rising day by day and d Cost becoming cheaper and cheaper, I can tell u that in d Next 20 yrs a bucket of Clean water may worth more than a bucket of toxic crude.


What will become of ND a report that has been raped by the Nigeria Government for the past 10 decade

I keep wondering if d OIL was a gift or a curse to this region which made them so Lazy, Corrupt and underdeveloped. Infact d most popular Slogan in d Niger Delta is " our oyel".

The only time ND man is considered in the scheme of things in Nigeria is compensation because of their Oil. Eg emergence of Goodluck Jonathan etc,

Now that the value is gradually diminishing and d reseRve trying, you wonder if this region has done enough or if they are prepared for the storm coming their way.

I must confess, am happy we re moving away from Oil and you are happy too but what will become of our brothers who only relevant is dependent on CRUDE

olukenzo:
Honestly I'm beginning to get tired of these iPod guys, they are just incorrigible.

I hope Tonyebarcanista and the other Nigerian Deltans are watching. The Nigerian state may not necessarily be your best friend, but you know who your wishers of bad tidings are. Just because they refused to be drawn into your Biafra nonsense.

Cockroaches!

Anambra home of indigenous industries

They will go back to fishing, the igbos saw this coming but the ND fall our hand


the North won't give a fuc.k about them

By calling you a troll he was not being polite,the joke is on you.

TheDevilIsALai:


Don't worry. When dollar hits 500 naira and the govt bans every importable goods , you will be forced to buy made in Aba shoes.

Dasuks:
@ToyinDipo buddy it will not drop to $5/barrel. Not possible. You have to account for inflation in your measures. Even if the oil had 0 added value, the inflation component will still keep it above the said 5 lol. Shale producers can keep laying off and producing in Okla., Wyoming etc for now. But for how long till fracking activities co,e under serious regulatory action ? Also note that although there is a glut of light oil in the Atlantic, dont forget that North Sea production will go offline before Niger Delta's lol. Have you taken a proper look at the demand growth( absolute value) versus supplies. That is to say 60 plus dollars/barrel is probably possible by 2018 lol. It makes no sense to call the key transport fuel of the world 'inconsequential'. Everyone shuts down or freezes without crude derivatives.

TonyeBarcanista:
Niger Delta is very rich. Before crude oil we were rich in palm oil. In fact, we were called Oil Rivers(Rivers, Warri and Bayelsa states) for a reason. We have rich lland for agriculture and our waters were used for fishing. Though our land and waters have been polluted due to oil exploration. We are rich in gas with abundant gas reserve. Whether oil become worthless or not we won't suffer. We will only adjust.

I don see my brother o.o.. two marks for that point bro. No mind them jor.
They don't know that we have other natural resources.


Most importantly, we have access to see and can easily capitalised on it.


@OP cry not for the Niger Delta. We will do just fine!

wristbangle:


I love the concept over there.

Indomie

As it is over there, so it is here.

All it takes for Ogun free trade zone and repackaging companies to collapse is for the foriegn owners to quit and relocate some place else.

And there are many socioeconomic reasons that could lead to that.

But Aba will simply adjust to whatever trend and continue.

Why? Because Aba gave birth to their own industry.

You are beating your flat chest for renting land to foriegners who employ you as factory labourers and you call that development

Mental slavery

Nigeria finds oil and gas in commercial quantities in Anambra


About 30 tcf of gas and 1 bn barrels of crude oil has been found in the Anambra River basin in Anambra State, the Director of Engineering standard in the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Mr Patrick Onwumere, said in Awka.
Mr Onwumere who led a team of experts to assess the volume of gas and crude reserves in the Anambra River basin as well as gauge the preparedness of the state government in the establishment of an indigenous refinery through its oil company, Orient Petroleum Resources, said the team was impressed with what it saw on the ground.

His revelation was coming on the heels of a confirmation by the Managing Director of Orient Petroleum, Engr. Nnaemeka Nwawka that a large hectare of land for the construction of the refinery which would be sited at Otuocha in Anambra East Local Government area of the state had been mapped out. Nwawka added that the only thing delaying full acquisition of the land is the state governor's signature on the certificate of occupancy (CoO) for the land.
According to Onwumene, his team's visit was a preliminary move which has to do with the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the area, the level of land acquisition promised by the governor, and the examination of the extent of work done so far by the Orient Petroleum Resources.

Onwumene also said he and members of his team were interested in seeing that the exploitation of oil and gas takes off earnestly in the state and expressed his team's satisfaction on the state's preparedness to accomplish their exploitation. He said Anambra State had three sources of oil supply which included, the existing local reserve from the Brass/Agip, import from Venezuela as well as the already discovered wells at Oroma-Etiti in Anambra West and Otuocha in Anambra East council areas of the state.
Onwumene said his team found that the state's oil company, Orient Petroleum Resources had maintained good relationships with the host communities, especially those bordering where the refinery would be sited. He added that with the take off of exploitation of oil reserves in the very near future, a lot of jobless indigenes of Anambra State would be gainfully employed.

lol.
I just dey laff all dis core North states with their low human capital.
Abeg Omo Oduduwa pls take over them as ur possession jare.
Those who were sent there to save them in education and industry were slaughtered.
I pity any Southerner or Middlebeltan who will Br deceived by Buharis 500,000 teaching job opportunity.
Guess what?
In 15-20 years time u will loose all as there will be a repeat of what is going on today there because as long as they have Islam it will be a continuous cycle of calm ist and then later violence.

The only time I will ever believe Islam has repented is when within a space of 50years there is no violence within the region where it is practised.

omonnakoda:
Agriculture is not just farming or farmers It goes way beyond that. I cannot make any sense of your comment "otherwise they would be controlling.........." that seems like a meaningless and childish remark. What exactly does "controlling economy" mean can you break that down?

Agriculture has been reckoned to account from 35-70 % of Nigeria's GDP according to various sources,depending on methodology and time i.e pre and post rebasing 2013/14. In every series it has accounted for at least twice as much as oil and even more depending on methodology and whether items such as forestries and agro=allied value addition are added.
Whichever sector it is that dominates in any country I am no familiar with this concept of "controlling the economy" that you introduce here as evidence for anything. What does it look like and how do we recognize it

ND ahead of SE in terms of what?? Education, GDP per capita, poverty rate?? We are talking of post oil bro!!

babaolofin:
I stop posting log time ago, though I was forced to come during the election to form intellectual online warhorse that fought the recent mismanagement and wastage ever witnessed in the Africa. Most of the comments here are childish and lack any intellectual research or analysis.

1. Those people that are complaining should start planning of how to relocate out of Lagos. One of their girl-child novelist even took the Oba of Lagos to an International Court, I am still waiting for the outcome.
2. Somebody said Ogun has only one cement factory which serves Lagos market. That is why we stopped commenting or even checking political page on nairaland. People are so lazy to do little research even using google. I believe only main market traders make such comments. Ogun has four major factories,
3. PortHarcourt ports will be made unseable for them by Ijaws after few years due to their criminal and selfish nature. They will try to dominate Ijaws and Ogonis, they will be resisted. Other nations will support Ijaws, Calabaris, Ogonis against them.
4. International airports abroad will find it easy to screen flight from their territory deeply. They caused most harassment and embarrassment being meted to Nigerians abroad.
