[size=18pt]‘Why bitumen exploration is just taking off in Ondo’[/size]

The Ondo State government yesterday gave reasons for the long delay in the take off of bitumen exploration in the state.

[size=12pt]It attributed the delay to the absence of a licence, which took the state government more than five years to secure.[/siz

Sometimes I just wonder at why ondo and States have to show in the last five years for gej but misery and dilapidation. It takes political hypnotism to make people continue this support when the reality shows erosion-ravaged roads and sepulchre-like (rotten and white-washed)projects.

The ONLY hope for us was high-priced international oil price which was murderously and buffonically squandered!

There r two types of bitumen.
one is a remnant obtained from exploration of crude oil, the other is natural deposit. It's found in Ogun, Ondo n Edo....
d 3 major components r sand, water n oil. It is not economical like crude oil because it contains very low quantity of oil....

I am not arguing with you about Ondo's mismanagement, so save the unnecessary long epistle for another thread. Like Bayelsa like all 36 state.

My grouse with you is your thought process. Ondo shouldn't stop working or stop diversifying its economy because of current salary issue.

If Ondo does, una cry. If Ono, doesn't, una still cry. Are you from Ondo? Do you currently live in Ondo?

Had you taken time to read and digest the article, you'd have read where they stated that FG had to give Ondo permission to start exploiting Bitumen. Because of fear of how Ondo would grow, being that it's the largest host of bitumen resources in the world, they've been delaying the process. Clueless shoeless GEJ delayed the permission process further. Ondo couldn't have started mining without permission.

Just a simple Google search would have educated you enough.
There are 2 major ways of getting bitumen
1. Refined Bitumen which is gotten from the fractional distillation of crude oil.
2. Crude Bitumen which is naturally occurring, they can be found at bottom of lakes, ground where organisms have decayed and have been subjected to heat and pressure for a long period of time.
And for the record, Ondo state has the 2nd largest deposit of naturally occurring Bitumen in the world.

it's beat me to know that you are arguing over confidently on a matter you have no idea about. Lol. Are u a Geologist ?

It's indeed nice, though I doubt you read it.

Nigerian youths aren't asking why their state couldn't explore their natural minerals without FG's permission. They aren't asking why states only get 13% of revenues from mineral exploration.

Instead of 'we hate yorubas' 'Yorubas are the problem', una should start wearing your thinking caps at this critical period.

It is the same incompetence and bad management that is being displayed in Bayelsa.

They both have access to extra cash, but are still neck deep in debt. It is bad management.

Both of them also got bail out funds last year from Buhari led FG. While Ondo is owing 4 months, Bayelsa is owing 5 months. It is incompetence on the part of those governors. 

The northern governors are smart enough, not to stretch the population of their civil service beyond their purse/capability. That is good management. 

According to your reasoning, the southern guys that want to clear their streets of Almajiri decided to bring them into its workforce. Now, they are finding it difficult to pay them. And most of these guys are not even very productive to the states! 

Mimiko has no success stories at all for his 2nd term. That is why he is just looking around for something to hold on to. 

He has I think 8 more months to complete his administration. 

He is the only governor to have won 2nd term in Ondo state and the state is seriously regretting giving him that chance. I will be very surprised if PDP wins that state in the coming election.

We have been hearing "bitumen is about to be exploited since 2002". They should spare us the narrative till when we see actual mining of the product.

do you even know what is bitumen?

you don't explore bitumen, it is a by product of crude oil (coal tar)

Fanyogoyogo:


My brother na so. GEJ and his gang of 40 middle eastern thieves. They'll be shouting that Yorubaland offers nothing, while stopping Yorubaland from exploring its resources.

I believe bitumen is a kind of crude oil, going down this route could be environmentally damaging. I'll admit that my knowledge is quite limited in this area. I hope others can help with clearification.
