@damocool you will see soon enough more resources will be discovered.I will keep the names and minerals secret,there's tons more that are yet to be discovered.Ekiti wil greatly benefit you will see...I'm a Niger Deltan Man i won't quote my source but there are huge reserves there..
I was at Osun the first time in my Life and even in a state people say idol this and that,i've never witnessed the Holyspirit manifested the way it did in me,riches are all over in Osun if nott for minerals..we need to oppen our eyes.

I'm too stressed n tired to do some serious typo...bear with me..( 10hours research daily).


@mmsen i agree the North is leeching the south seriously as a matetr of fact the statee is been run with a fraudulent style that's an off-shoot of the Islamic system,many of we South-South are married to the South West what do we do,we have tried dialogue and dialogue what do we do...i went to visit somee oil areas some years back,i'm a though black man but i was weeping at the poverty in the lives of the children,the youths were wasting away.I'm preparing my bags to go back community to community to start teaching some of my skills though.Anytime from this or next year.


I wish the yorubas would listen,On the long run the whole country suffers under this fraudulent system,i went too a motel within an estate to buy recharge card around 11pm becuase i needed to make an international call,my goodness i lost fate in the girls i saw,over 1000 girls beautiful pretty Christian looking fine girls hanging in a small area looking for people that weren't much these girls were our sisters Hausa Yoruba and Igbos cause opportunities in the country are too finite...let's not forget if the mining sector is well opened up processing companies would spring up,packaging companies,logistics,research and development,the geological chemistry physics name it overrall productivity of the country,so as a South South man i always teach where i go support each other so we can grow..I envy the potentials of Kogi Benue Nassarawa Jos for example but are they been harnessed because of " the Niger Deltans are against us and will be calling for their resources if they developed "

I hope we speak the truth and forget the divides Righteousness exalts a nation,it is lies that are reproach,moreso this world with the proliferation of Nuclear war heads everywhere won't last too long so why bottle up our potentials and resources ?

Please tell me anyone

Yes! I am not disputing the facts that there are solid minerals house by those terrains but the fact still remains that no oil reserves in those areas...

For those of you clamouring for division of this great nation it is now obvious that the yorubas will never suffer because we have all it take to stand as a nation, our economy is already diversified, if its oil we dey, abi na cocoa we dey ,even cassava .so if u think u think are feeding the country no problem but don't forget that some regions fed the nation before now and your so called niger delta were not Cameroon then ,.....bunch of olodo.

Goodluck to you guys who see it as a tribal heritage...I'm from the oil region both father and mother's side where a refinery is hosted.It fundamentally means next to nothing to me.I've never benefited indirectly or directly from it...Oil has caused too much problems,We are even wishing it away

@scholes if you were this humble in your first statement i would have explained.I'm not a yoruba man.But i know deeply there's oil in Ekiti it will take time but would be discovered...even thru to Ondo..Tired from day's work can't elucidate extensively..do some research

Oil production has been going on in Ondo for about 3 decades now. Don't tell me you don't know about that

Oil is not the only means of acquiring wealth or development.

The rest of the world (and individuals in Lagos) are using solar and other renewable energy and some people remain fixated on oil in 2016?

Why is the north not pursuing solar farms as a way of powering industry? That would make more sense than obsessing over a dirty fossil fuel.

it is one thing to discover oil,it is another to strike it in a commercial quantity to attract serious investors fund and in the face of expected dwindling price and environmental pollution with attendant social unrest,it does not call for celebration .I think mineral wealth cannot make a country rich .it only enrich a few...we should move away from this third world mentality of raw material exportation that does not add value to total industrialization,mechanized agriculture,ict,tourism and sport recreation,human capital development,scientech research and development, intellectual property ,fishing,forestry,manufacturing,etc .These Will create stable jobs and Pull Million Of Nigerian Out Of Poverty Faster Than The Discovery Of Trillions Of Reserve Of Gold,oil,silver ,diamond In A Particular Place.

Don't be hasty man.
Lagos have good environmental laws in place,
When it comes to civility in business SW is second to none,
And there are proper nations who have managed oil without distorting their lands,
The oil discovered in lagos is offshore which means everything is done on water not land.
And don't compare I majority ethnic group who has produce astute politicians and leaders in every stratosphere of the nation that can influence things their way. The numbers don't favor minority group of SS.

You have no experience in matters like this. Moreover your comments are more political than geo-scientific. So why don't we wait and see? You have also not considered the 'omonile' influence.

My problem with oil is that we do not really control the price.

Then there is the fact that more and more countries are producing oil....including nations that used to be our major buyers.Which further lowers the price.

I am not a fan of oil. Innovation is the answer. Let us become a manufacturing society...so at least we can export stuff whose prices we can set.

To want to control the price is a wrong approach to seeing the big picture. Innovation is embedded in Oil and Gas business and it was what brought it to this state and will deliver more. Our leaders in the past had been on the back foot.

Crude oil has over 19 direct derivatives, and to the best of my knowledge we're just scratching the 4th. When you go into the realm of Gas, over 10 different industries (modestly speaking) can be spun-off. If we have set our objective on maximising the full value chain, we would have been making more in terms of revenues, price or no price. Do you know in some countries, governments make so much money to the extent that bonafide citizens are even given cash returns from oil returns?

Oil is what triggered the American industrialisation in the 1800s. I recommend you read the book, "The Prize" by Daniel Yergin...............

its not about the coast but the sedimentary basins and formations deposited along the coast.

So you think it will deposit on Nigeria's coast, jump ghana, deposit on Angola jump Ivory coast abi?
everybody on the coast surely have oil, the question is how much? the formation of Gulf of Guinea is nearly the same along the WA coast, leave the rest of your jargons for school leavers.

Oga oooo. I didn't bother to check your profile and as these is a faceless forum I wouldn't like to start throwing jabs or insult at people. From my post on this thread you can see that I didn't tow the line of dissidents against the prospectus of Lagos or SW having oil. I guess you are a SW by Gods grace I am from Akwa ibom and I am just through with my BEng in petroleum Engineering preparing for service.
The thread had taken an unexpected detour from the initial ideal behind the post and from my look at issues on this post, some engineers/scientists were trying to shed light on some grey areas but because of the bigotry and ethnic hate that has greeted the thread every post of enlightenment is now taken as an insult or affront. I can't use a page to school/enlighten you on the technicalities of a source rock, igneous rock, sedimentary rock/basin and formations. I have never done an appraisal of Lagos fields so I can't say if Lagos or ekiti have oil bearing recoverable and viable formations but I was trying to correct erroneous beliefs on the technicalities of crude deposits.

please don't always resort to insult when dealing with people. I understand that it is becoming the status quo to win an argument here. I know you are not relevant intellectually to my field and posts by engineer/scientists whether SS or SW are all having a homogeneous conformity.
what you think you know on this is far bigger than you.
and my words are not jargons

Great. Lagos is one of the few states that has consistently had good governance - from BAT to BRF and now AMBO. With this extra income from oil, not to talk of the new jobs and other benefits, it can only get better.

Now you see what a foresighted man BRF was...he already started the infrastructure (road and rail) to open up the Badagry axis for business.

in my local government we have over 70 oil wells that were drilled over 30 years ago, I wasn't even born then but they are still corked till now. why? some are marginal for the company: the formations may be complex and spending on them may not be viable in the long run. there are so many engineering and economical decisions to take over this.
the same applies to the whole of Niger delta. there are so many corked wells for decades. the Lagos field is not even producing what many onshore fields are producing in Niger Delta.
if your rational of thinking is right then the whole local governments in Niger Delta would be producing oil, but that is far from the truth. cross river and even down to Cameroon should be producing as much as the other regions.
Do you known that it is cheaper to produce oil in the Arab lands fulilled with deserts than any where around the world? do you know why that is possible and why huge amounts of oil are found there even onshore??
you can't argue my discipline with me. if you tell me your field of endeavour I may not be able to grabble with you but the fact that I am a novice at yours doesn't make me stupid or mean I should resort to sneering on you to make a point.
