i still repeat by GODS grace, when justice come, Niger delta will leapfrog in development and investment in ur own very eyes. After all God was not mistaken when he blessed the region with abundance of oil nd gas

Yeah right....... till bombings and militancy results in development, all you're saying is "stories that touch".

ba7man:
When you celebrate bombing of pipelines and Millitancy, the result is what you have in the Niger Delta.

We choose to celebrate infrastructural development and leadership that has defined goals, the results are evident.

MY GUY, NEVER BOAST BECAUSE NIGER DELTA LOSS INVESTMENT TO LAGOS, ITS ALL THE GRACE OF GOD THAT INVESTMENT COMES TO LAGOS, SO NEVER SAY ITS GOOD GOVERNCE, COS IT TAKES GOD NOTHING TO TURN THE WHOLE OF LAGOS INTO ALLEPO( RUMBLE)

keep celebrating militancy and pipeline bombings while you wait on when God will divert investments to the Niger Delta and turn Lagos to Allepo.

Lolz where will the oil and gas that will be refined come from? Don't make me laugh too hard please.Shebi Kadunna has a refinery? Is it still getting supplies now?

The biggest refinery in the world is in India and if you look at the top 10 some are in Korea(TWO) and Singapore. Where do they get oil from ? The top chocolate manufacturers are in Europe where do they get cocoa from?? There is no rule that says Nigerian refineries must refine Nigerian oil. The US has more oil reserves than us but for years have bought our and kept theirs. The world is wide and a refiner goes for the cheapest available oil. That is not necessarily Nigerian.

Oil is an international commodity and it doesn't have to come from even Nigeria.


Ignorance is a serious disease.

Lagos is going to be the dominant energy hub and market in Africa in less than 5 years.

Why not free the Delta's.. why you guys opening thread after thread to let us know that our crude is not needed and lagos. Will be the next 9th wonder of the world.

Why are you peeps so neckdeep in delta's..
Focus on lagos and all and forget au much we will soon drink our oil.

Haba! This matter d piss off

If ibo naa..una go rush say na chestbeating!!

StOla:


The mistake you make is to think a refinery needs to be fed with crude oil from it's host country.

There is crude oil all over West Africa. The economics of crude oil is now about who is willing to buy my product that is readily available elsewhere too and what concessions am I willing to make in the broader view of international diplomacy and trade partnership. Even Nigeria is looking for who will buy her crude. The arrogance of the crude oil producer community/country ended more than a decade ago. What obtains now is how best to keep your current buyers from switching to the competitor.

Hear it loud and clear, the oil producing states are already capped in terms of revenue generated by volume of crude oil sales due to international sales quota enforced by OPEC even when more crude could have been produced by those states and countries.


However, local sales to local refineries is independent of OPEC quota.

Why would a Delta State or Bayelsa State deprive their states the opportunity to earn more and pay salaries seeing that both states have no reasonable economy outside of oil earnings?

Whoever sells crude earns derivation money, whoever doesn't learn to cry like Delta and Bayelsa Governors have been taught by their own self destructive Avengers.

Dangote doesn't need any oil from Nigeria, it is Nigeria that needs Dangote to buy her crude over other West African neighbours who are so eager to sell.

Thanks bros. Unfortunately "they" won't realize that Dangote is purely a businessman. He won't care about the ethnic sentiments that some narrow minded people carry on their head when he makes business decisions. His decision to site the refinery in Lagos is 100% business related. He doesnt care about what any Hausa, Ibo or Yoruba man will think.

The refinery is sited in Lagos with direct access to the international waters. Meaning he can get his crude from suppliers from Liberia, Angola, Ghana etc. He doesn't necessarily need Nigerian crude, afterall it will be sold at market price to him and not subsidized. He can also sell his refiened product to whoever he likes, and if he needs to sell locally, lagos is the biggest market for petroleum product consumption. Lagos is investment friendly so his investment is secure and absent of the hostility of the niger delta. No host community will come block his gate 20 years after to claim their fathers shrine is crying underneath the plant. Lagos gives him easy access to international partners due to the international airports proximity.

The advantages are so numerous. As a smart businessman he took an excellent decision.
Most people haven't wondered why he does much more investments in the south than in his own north. HE IS A BUSINESSMAN. He thinks of his business before he thinks of his tribe.

The been bomb is ijaw land..what do you know about the deltas..
Una just get mouths and like..without knowing your displaying ignorance.

archdon:

Do u think Niger Delta is the only region in Nigeria dat has oil and gas?
Oil and gas are in other regions too from the shores of Lagos to Lake Chad, the reason they were unexplored is cos the technology to explore them wasn't available when oil was first discovered but now with fracking and other exploration techniques even cheaper than the old ways, depth previously tot to be impossible to reach are now being reached for half the cost.

Why did u even think oil price dropped globally to begin with, it's cos other countries too hv started exploration and the global output surged

Keep blowing up stuffs in the Niger Delta until there is nothing else to blow up.

the reality is the price might drop even further, u do kw they are experimenting with hydrogen as fuel and dats even in more abundance and greener

That's it..forget naija delta and focus on those regions..
is it hard..
Why una go dey carry our matter for. Head..
We send una?

If lagos wan be 9th wonder of the world..we no send..
Make dangote built refinery for ocean..we don't give a Bleep

Ain't you getting the drill?! Is everything about generating revenue for the Government?! What's the essence of generating revenue when your citizens are living in abject poverty?! What impact has revenue generated so far from the ND had on the Nigerians?!
We are talking of massive jobs creation, stable power supply, probably in the entire south-west region, availability of PMS, AGO, Kerosene, Gas etc at all time!
Besides, you should know the Government will also collect "tax" from the Employees of Dangote Refinery! Many businesses will also spring up, thus creating more wealth for the Region.
It's a win win for the FG and the good people of South West Nigeria.
You Guys are wondering why there is peace in the West, Unity among all Westerners..... it's simply because we are tolerant and sophisticated.

See. Reasoning..
Oya clap for yourself..
Abeg naija delta no send una with una massive job creation..

This thread is jokes. Both sides have valid points but sentiments and testosterone isn't allowing anybody concede anything to the other. Your point is definitely in line. The refinery would create linkages around it enriching the surrounding economy i.e. Lagos area and what not. However what the other man , the 'Niger deltan ' -I'd assume he is since most of the ppl on here usually represent/speak for their tribal/region group- is saying is that it wouldn't matter if it did since the govt revenues would still be heavily reliant on oil exports.

The issue of taxes making up for the lost thousands of barrels wouldn't hold seeing that even in boom years (73-74 , 78 and 2010-2014) the taxes of all the big majors and their several thousand staff didn't measure up to the royalties and export receipts combined together. So one refinery that isn't as big as the majors operationally ( also bear in mind that refining is a low margin business, with respite in times of low prices like now. Tho $50 isn't low tho :p. Prices are actually higher than average ) and its taxes with workers who aren't as numerous or better compensated as the diverse workforce of the majors couldn't possibly close such a gap. The avengers- ridiculous as they are - would remain relevant.
However I can get ones frustration with a group that sees the nation as beholden to it. Tho you cannot fault them for actually recognizing their worth and acting on it. It actually takes 'sophistication' to realize you're being cheated and act in a manner commensurate to the magnitude of your loss. Just as it takes sophistication to develop your area according to efficient planning like is being done in Lagos.

There's no need arguing over anything as what happens will happen. The 2.2 out of 2.3 to 2.4 million bbls produced daily comes from their region. So hiccups there can affect the nations health. That would probably change in the coming decades but for now that the economy is of a monotonous oil nature and fossil fuel energy sources are most important it isn't likely to change.
Borno has 2 billion bbls estimate without any production. And most of it is likely to be like the Doba blend ( acidic and heavy ) coupled with export issues (paying Cameroon or new infrastructure to the coast ) as it is far inland and the issue of lower pricing and limited demands for those grades it isn't that exciting .... Ondo has good quality oil but the bulk of the reserves are heavy/bituminous. There's less than 10 million bbls of that sold on any given day out of the 45 or so million sold daily. With us refineries being the ultimate destination but then with shale and Alberta oil sands there's no intercontinental demand for it. But they have 40 billion reserves of light oil. After having already produced over 30- 40 billion already.

Coming back to the topic; I get you bro. I understand how you'd be angry at avengers. Lagos and SW leaders have actually positioned themselves to take advantage of the fruits of proper organization no doubt. The SW would lead economic growth for this country in the coming years. But the reason why the issue of govt revenues is important is that he govt is the largest holder of investable funds. The markets and economy aren't as dynamic. The FDI that comes in is even mostly fossil fuel energy -focused. So that's why those boys/militants / men blowing up pipes in the mangrove swamp would continue to cause recession and havoc economically and politically in Nigeria. If I blew up pipelines in my village along the Niger I'm pretty sure you'd sleep properly. But if they do. There's bound to be some macro level effect.

^^ that's why I said you're all almost correct. Lol.
