We are talking of active production, yet you claim Lagos oil is imaginary despite a semi submersible oil rig operated by ENI having worked on the Aje field offshore Badagry, and an FPSO working to produce and store the crude oil.

Yet you then come up with an imaginary gas reserve in Anambra state that has never been produced?

Even you can see how hopeless you are.

SO WEN U HERE SS/SE, UNDERSTAND ONE THING, MONEY.

FROM ABIA TO IMO, BLESSED WITH GAS AND OIL, ALL THE WAY TO ANAMBRA.

FIRST OIL IN NIGERIA WAS DISCOVERED IN ENUGU AND EBONYI.

PDPGuy:
This is the first time I’m hearing that a government is building an edifice for a private corporation.
What an achievement for Governor Udom

Throwback:


Yet the same Eastern region government that was dominated by Igbos, watched as Oloibiri in Bayelsa that was within the same region was produced to claim a historic feat?

What do you gain from all these hopeless lies?

That oil was prospected and found to exist, is not the same as first commercial quantity?

Besides, the first oil prospecting site in Nigeria, was in present day Ondo state, but was not found to be in commercial quantity.

Stop trying to fight the history and significance of Oloibiri.

At least, make an attempt to fight the Igbo in you. No wonder you are not trusted by those who know you so well.

hammer6F:


GO TO ANAMBRA, THEY WILL SHOW YOU ORIENT REFINERY.


LAGOS DOES NOT HAVE OIL. OK!


FIND ANOTHER LIE.

Throwback:


I am very happy that the hatred harboured by the Igbos have reduced them to the current level of idiocy they wallow in.

I am delighted and I desire that you remain ignorant even while in an ocean of information and knowledge.

I reckon the time I spent on the Aje oil field was only my imagination, and the FPSO currently producing there is just a cargo boat?

AFONJA!


LISTEN, LARGEST GAS RESERVE IN AFRICA AND ACTIVE OIL OPERATION.

THAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF AN OIL PRODUCING STATE.

NOT CONSTANT MEDIA OIL NEWS LIKE LAGOS, WITH NOTHING TO SHOW.

Throwback:


Fight the Igbo in you.

Oloibiri remains the site of the first commercial oil production in 1958 after discovery in 1956, while the first ever site of oil exploration and discovery was in 1908 at Araromi in current Ondo state.

Colonial documents and evidences prove that oil was first found in Ebonyi, Anambra, Enugu states, 83 years ago, but government refuses to acknowledge this nor explore the black gold.[/size]




[size=20pt]Not many Nigerians may know that 83 years ago, oil was discovered in Ebonyi, Anambra and Enugu states, in the South East geo-political zone. That was at least more than 20 years before the oil find in Oloibori, in the Niger Delta, which is prided as the first discovery in the country. According to documentary evidence, the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) knows this, but the corporation has not made much efforts to explore the oil ever since.[/size]

Saturday Sun visited Ebonyi, Anambra and Enugu states recently, where mineral oil lie idle and waste. Indigenes of these places, where unexploited oil was discovered, are full of lamentation.


Evidence of oil find in South East
At Edda, Ebonyi State, Prince Sunny Ugwuocha, a calibration engineer and principal partner of an oil servicing firm in Lagos, confirmed knowledge of the existence of oil in his community. It was also the same with Mr. Nnachi Kalu, a chemist and petroleum analyst, who admitted to Saturday Sun his knowledge of oil in Edda, his native place.

[size=20pt]They said the oil find was in 1928, 83 years ago. Till date, the oil in Edda, with all the attesting documents at the National Archives in Enugu remains untapped.[/size]

Akwa Ibom state Government have began the construction of a 21 storey building for offices.

Speaking on efforts so far to ensure relocation of offices of International Oil Companies to the state, Commissioner of information Udoh said the ongoing 21-storey building embarked upon by Governor Udom Emmanuel would have state-of –the art facilities for offices.

"We know how much ExxonMobil is paying as tax to Lagos State government. Now we are constructing a 21 storey building with the intention to gradually increase it to about 30. This is a smart building with standard facilities for a modern office. So ExxonMobil would no longer have any excuse for not relocating to the state”. he said

'...so ExxonMobil would no longer have an excuse for not relocating to the State.'

This is not the sort of language to use.

International companies are not easily bullied.

Pavore9:
Will they drag Mobil into the building after completion?

pazienza:
The level of demonic tendencies Nigerians exhibit eh, nah die.

How can a supposedly self acclaimed Akwa ibomite be crying over AKWA IBOM move to bring Mobil to Akwa Ibom from Lagos?
What's sort of deception and treachery is this? How can a Yoruba man be claiming to be an Akwaibomite just to score cheap points on a faceless forum?
In what planet would a genuine Akwa Ibomite be at the forefront of the opposition to this move?

It's the most appropriate thing to do... Almost all Oil Drilling Companies are located in TX or Louisiana, not Washington DC or NY. You cannot drill resources from State A and then pay taxes in State B. It's just not right.

Blue3k:


Stop acting dumb and think about this logically if noys against your religion. Your building a structure nobody asked for expecting them to come. Did Exxon Mobil say they would move to Akwa Ibom because they building skyscraper? Getting multi billion dollar company to move HQ isn't as simple as new office space. Look at Amazon right now. Tax incentives, saftey guarantees and OGFZ could sway their opinion.

deomelllo:





The question is, why are Akwa Ibomites supporting foolish and irresponsible decision to spend billions on any building just to force a private and foreign company to relocate to Akwa Ibom?


What if they don't relocate after completing your multi-billion naira building? Will you take them to court or put them in handcuffs and drag them to Akwa Ibom?



I know we have bad and terrible leaders today, but know we also have bad and terrible thinking bad leaders of tomorrow is very disheartening.

deomelllo:
1. You are a comedian because Akwa Ibom is vastly richer than Lagos state.

2. For so many years under Akpabio, Akwa Ibom with just 5 million people passed larger budgets than Lagos state with 20 million people and sometimes even over N100 billion larger.

3. For several years under Akpabio, Akwa Ibom budgeted billions for the construction of Ibaka deep seaport, but he did not clear even ordinary bush or build an ordinary fence.

4. By the time Akpabio left office, he completed and commissioned only 1 football stadium, 1 cinema, 1 library, 1 uncompleted hospital, some roads and 1 flyover.

...but Fashola was commissioning major and grand projects left and right.

It's all about leadership qualities, not just money

pazienza:


Stop blowing your cover .
You almost got everyone fooled until you started meddling into IPOB issues, and then this!

You are not as wise as I thought.

What Akwa Ibom is doing is dangling the carrot before Mobil, by providing world class facilties for them, allow Mobil to decline before you bring your Yorubatic hate and envy for a people's progress here.

Akwa Ibom is a safe haven and more secured that Lagos, with even less crime rate, it's less populated with greenery environment and all.

Mobil will move to Akwaibom, it was bound to happen soon or later, and it's the right moral thing to do.

You can now continue your demonic wailing with your Yoruba cohorts, see who cares.

deomelllo:




Why are they in Lagos and refusing to move to Akwa Ibom , instead of the beautiful, safe and secured Akwa Ibom.?

pazienza:


Stop crying more than the beareved.
We know your cries are coming from a devilish point of view. You want to keep what rightfully belongs to Akwaibom to yourselves.
The amount AKSG would spend on this project would not be more than that your Tinubu and Fashola had embezzled from Lagos coffers.

You have no point.

The building would not only serve as Mobil headquarters, it would beautify the state skyline, enhance Her Aesthetic value and improve its tourist potential as a choice modern centre in Nigeria.

In a 2005 letter addressed to a U.S-based Nigerian environment activist, Tom-Mbeke Ekanem, the oil company said, “Mobil has three businesses in Nigeria which are managed by one Lead Country Manager. It is essential that the headquarters of each of those businesses be consolidated in one office where support services can be shared.

Whether Houston is the Energy Capital or not is certainly not the question. Please say what you know and what you can defend. Exxon pays all their taxes to different jurisdiction where their operations are. For instance, local property taxes for which they file annual rendition forms is paid to the Country Appraisal District where the property located. Their oil wells in West Texas say the Midlands would be paid to the CAD over there NOT Houston. Same applies to gasoline taxes as well Payroll taxes. Yes Houston gets a huge portion of the franchise/sales tax, but all jurisdictions get all their taxes.

pazienza:


What does it matter? What matters is that they move to Akwaibom, where they rightfully belong, increase Akwaibom IGR, and enable the AKSG have more funds to continue her uncommon transformation of the state.

Why are Nigerians this wicked, why are you this pained at returning to a people, a valuable asset of theirs that they were robbed off, and that you had enjoyed for decades?

Shouldn't you be thankful for those years you ripped those people off by enjoying what rightfully belonged to them, and show gratitude by wishing them well now that they are about getting it back?

Why are you this wicked, why? Why is this story giving you sleepless night, why do you enjoy robbery?
