I was just thinking about the unthinkables. What if oil dries up in the Niger delta? That question sounds disturbing and every Nigerians would not want it asked or answered. Its sounds like an end of the world scenerio.

Now let's face this inevitability. You might be saying Niger oil will never dry up. Accepted and agreed.
But we should consider a scenerio where all oil firms run away from Nigeria, due to war or Avenger like happenings. Or If the whole world discovers oil. E.g. American shale oil, new Lagos ocean discovery, chad basin, Kenya and Ghana joining oil producing countries. The way countries are discovering oil and more auto makers are considering chemical and renewable energy e.g Tesla, oil will soon be as cheap as water.

So if it finally happens, are we gonna die ? What are we benefiting from oil as a nation? I am yet to see any. The oil we put in our cars and generating sets is imported. We have been importing fuel since time immemorial. And the crude oil we dig from our soil ? We don't know where the money goes to. Yes we don't ? I personally don't know.

We do not have electricity, where is the money going to?

We do not have good roads, where is the money going to?

There is no secuty, where is the money going to?

No food security or consumer price protection, where is our oyel money going to?

We have bahd bado badest of eduction in the world, where is our oyel money.

I can say it courageously that I have never benefited anything from the crude oil.

I pay for the oil I use...not free and not cheap despite the fact that we have crude oil.

I pay for generating my own electricity

I pay for my health care.

I pay vigilante because we do not have police and security.

Let's consider some countries without crude oil. UK, Japan, China, Germany, India, all European Union have no oil, yet they are the richest and world power. Oil doesn't make any country rich. Oil just make a few people/politicians and cabals rich.

If we drop oil, what will happen?

When they were deliberating on removing oil subsidy, people were doing as if they are gonna die. They removed oil subsidy, yet we are still living. We are still importing our oil just like every other countries without oil.

We are just a bloody oil importer. We don't have refinery.

We should go back to the drawing board, we need to diversify our economy. We are blessed.

What do you think? Do you think we can't survive without crude oil..our oyel

By making our politians richer and the mesess poorer...... I WEEP 4 THIS NATION!

Maybe I don't know the hidden impact of oil. Somebody should educate me.

End time for Nigeria.

Oil money should have been used with precision to build or upgrade existing power stations.

But that wasn't the case. Politicians were too myopic and corrupt to know the disastrous consequences. Where there is no electricity, how can we progress.

99% of businesses rely on power in one way or the other.

We are thinking alike.

Crude oil is a curse to Nigeria!

Movic1:
Crude oil is a curse to Nigeria!

Yes...it slowed us down.

We can't compare to a country like Rwanda right now.

Its just a shame

I have asked the same question in the past.

Movic1:
Crude oil is a curse to Nigeria!

Its doing more harm than good.

If not for oil Nigeria would have been as prominent in the world as Madagascar

Oil is not a curse to nigeria but our leaders are. Even if money is made from another means, they will still embezzle it. Oil is like the easiest way of making money and a blessing so our leaders made it look like a curse.
The western world's give the money to the citizens and the citizens gives back to the government but ours don't give us a reason to give back to them since they (govt) don't even give to us in first place.

True words

Nigeria is under a Crude Oil Nemesis due to its wickedness and satanic foundation.
A country that mudered 3million Igbo Children without any mercy CAN NEVER DEVELOP.. mark it anywhere.
God is not fooled and the Law of Karma is active.
This useless country will continue to be a third world backward joke of a country.

lt has been beneficial to a select few across the Country.
