Why are there not looking for oil in other parts of Nigeria? So only the North deserve oil exploration, between $3 million is a lot of money, what happens if nothing is found? This is why they struggle for power by all means, to take from the South and develope the North, it is well

“If we cannot fine oil, we must get our money back because so far over $3 billion US Dollars had been wasted on oil exploration in the north, particularly in the Chad Basin and Benue trough.

TeOwl:
Are they drilling the oil around Chad basin? YES or NO?

We share the "lake Chad" with the country Chad - why are they not throwing billions into discovering oil in that basin on their own end?

Omexonomy:
You people should stop wasting scarce resources in searchin for what you might never find. Assuming the amount of money wasted in searching for oil is to be invested in human capital where do you think they would have been

True. Nonetheless, I won't advice anyone to do a frontier exploration with current downturn of events in the industry. A wiser man will put those monies in something more sustainable. You know, that money is going down the drain right?

We have areas in the southwest with plethora of pegmatite which should lead us to mineral deposits, Kogi is crazily blessed. If oil isn't selling, go into mining for other minerals, gold, aquamarine, sapphire etc. Or face agriculture fair and square.

carinmom:

Are you familiar with Nigerian geography at all? Is not every part of the country that oil exists.

I still dey wait ooo

Hahaha I am a Geographer

If he knows the geology of the northern Nigeria, he will not say such of a thing.There are crude oil basin in the northern Nigeria, only that cost of exploration due to thickness of the formation.

People like professor Zarbosky have done alot of research on northern Nigeria sedimentary basin......

igwe44:
How can God allow oil to be found in the north? Nigerian oil is found in south and some part of east yet the northerners are ruling and controlling this country as their own,what will happen if the oil is found in northern states? God is never a partial God

Past administrations again!..PDP..

If there is oil in Chad basin, French companies would have been drilling the oil in Chad (our neighboring country).

SSkillzzz:
and this is an intelligent geologist...The Chad basin (burno basin) has d potential to generate crude oil...the basin extends to other countries like Chad, Niger even Cameroon... oil hv bn found in the Chad
basin Buh not yet in its extension to Nigeria (burno basin)..so y'all can chill.. geologist are still working on it..S.o to lawydewy

ugnmezi:


For the simple fact that the cost outweigh the benefit means u dont have and can never have oil. If u like carry all Ur professors to dat lake, nothing will come out of it. Zarbkosy ko sorkodie ni. Oga go and farmsf

saintdre:
that's not true brother go back to your books northern Nigeria is a tectonic area which is associated with high temperature and crude oil and high temperature do not exist together, secondly there is oil in the Chad basin but it is a half garben where the sloppy side containing the crude accumulation is deep into Chad and not in our reach so it is a waste of resources. Benue trough may contain oil but it is contained in and. Older aged layer where little technology is available to drill to that dept... so the money should be used for cattle rearing and farming...

comos:

we talking abt present not past.
APC is failing in all cylinder

lawydewy:

The French, underestimate the possibility!
The American and Chinese companies came and found it. They drilling it in chad. right now

But chad republic and Niger republic are oil producing countries, for your information.
