Lol you are pretty dense. The aren't in Lagos because of the building inept clown. Again did Exxon say they would relocate because of the building? This is same way you claimed the oil companies were ordered by NASS to relocate. Go back to making charms in your village with the other destitutes.

I don't know why you are running faster than your shadows, Gov Udom had a meeting with the country manager of exxon-mobil early last year some resolutions were made, papers were exchanged forms were signed after the discussion one of the cardinal thing the in-country manager was saying is the lack of smart facility for such movement and the state government agreed to give them a smart facility within a time frame of two years that was the road map of this , and the governor is a man of his word and has started doing just that........i don't know why an uniform human like you could be so restless about agreement made in another part of the nation, plz take a break haba are you Mobil founder are your here to speak on their behalf...what a heck with you...great minds discuss ideas and you are here insulting people....plz your opinion doesn't count at this instance...i give up on you...mcthewww

WinningSun:


I really appreciate the efforts of your governor to attract the relocation. however, the main issue that those companies left have not been address. the issue of security. can a white man walk on the street of uyo to shoprite without the locals seeing him as a ransom tickets.

and also the excessive bickering by the youth that demands the impossibility. like telling them on quotas of people they can employed from other region

are you guys willing to see the influx of other tribe like ibo Yoruba hausas and host of others buying land and engaging in development activities.without telling them that they're strangers. Will you feel comfortable with this arrangement.

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

i've worked in QIT, everyone knows that the big wigs are based in the Lagos office.
Most of them shuttle with helicopters to and fro. It's just banter for PR.
The revenue is created at the operations location but transferred to HQ/Admin.

UDIOK:
Bros we are talking about having their office at the operational area which they explore ok.......sink it to your head.....LNG did that in PH, Total did that in PH, and will equally do same in Akwa ibom because bulk of their operations is in akwa ibom apart from OML58 which is at Obagi.......OML99 Amenam-kpono, OML100 Edikan, OML102 Ofon, Odudu, even IKIKE that is upcoming are all within akwa ibom .......you cannot explore, exploit, degrade, bastardize the area and expect to abandon it without physical presence.....go to Texas , Alberta, Norway, Russia and other developed society running oil business their operational areas is within the production zone

When they came up with the yoruba Language Law , i simply laughed at them . if that law ever goes into Operation , the reult will reflect in Jamb and Waec .how on earth will a state earning Taxes from the oil drilled in other states pass a law enforcing non indigenes to speak their intelligible language . It is going to backfire big time , at the end of the day Lagos will be for yorubas even foreigners will leave for sane states.

Blue3k:



Lol your lying bring a link kid. If resolution was made last year then Mobil would have said we dont want to move last year. When were your imaginary resolutions reached last year? It must be part of your culture to lie as easy as you breath.

We've been asking did Udom get Exxon to agree if the build skyscraper they will return. Nobody brought link saying yes. I know neither of you will come back with link.

Kidnappers Cut Off Hand Of Mobil Ex-staff After Collecting N5 Million Ransom

The kidnappers had demanded a sum of N500 million from his family as ransom but later reduced it to N70 million after two weeks of negotiation.

According to reports reaching Concise News, the desperate kidnappers advised his family to sell the polytechnic in order to raise the ransom.


Udom’s abductors took him from his place in Akwa Ibom to Aba in Abia state, where he was released from, after he was amputated, a close source revealed.

“The kidnappers were angry when N5 million was paid to them. They told the family contact that the N5 million was for the victim’s welfare. Maybe because they could not get more money, they decided to chop off one of his hands.

“However, the family is happy that he is alive. He is currently receiving treatment in a hospital after being in the kidnappers’ custody for one month.”

How??! How is the revenue created at operations location transferred to HQ/Admin, when the proceeds from crude drilled at the operational location is paid directly to the Fed Govt?

Mofe72:
Don't you get?
The payments being transferred to the government does not occur at QIT.
Finance is in the Administrative HQ.
The revenue generated from crude oil sales are remitted to the FG by the oil companies.
Meaning, the oil companies do in fact get the funds first from exports.

We have heard countless times about NNPC battling with oil companies that refuse to remit oil royalties to the government.

LaudableXX:


Guy, your comments are still not valid. The exploration joint venture between Mobil (40 percent) and NNPC (60 percent), is located in shallow water off the coast of Akwa Ibom state. The revenue from crude sales are remitted to FG, by the oil companies and jointly supervised by NNPC. Such revenue still goes directly to Fed Govt accounts, and not to the state govt's purse, even if the Finance/Admin depts are located in Lagos. So what is your point? Kindly stop misleading people, please. Do you think that because the the Finance/Admin depts are in Lagos, automatically they will pay everything they have collected from crude sales, to the Lagos state govt? So why are you peddling this untrue account?

Mobil's operational base and housing estate, is located on vast acres of land in Eket in Akwa Ibom state. Are you saying the state govt does not earn any revenue from the property taxes of that estate, annually? Or the goods and services purchased by the families who live and work in that housing estate, do not contribute any sales tax or VAT to the purse of the Akwa Ibom govt?

Please name the oil companies that refuse to remit oil royalties to state govt. I can bet that Mobil is definitely NOT one of them, neither are the oil majors.

Statoil is the world's largest offshore operator, with 20,500 employees and operations in over 30 countries worldwide. In Norway, Statoil operates more than 40 assets in the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea and the Barents Sea, in addition to holding a significant number of exploration licences elsewhere, as well as operating one of the largest oil fields on the Norwegian continental shelf, producing more than 400,000 barrels a day. Yet, its offices are in Fornebu, just a few metres outside Oslo where its' unique head office is built, with a spectacular view over adjacent park areas and the fjord of Oslo - while its' group activities take place within Oslo (the Norwegian capital) and Bergen.

Udom’s abductors took him from his place in Akwa Ibom to Aba in Abia state, where he was released from, after he was amputated, a close source revealed.

Some of you will be coming online throwing figures here and there. Ordinary total has 98,000 employees from 150 countries. Stop thinking everyone believes big English.

Did you even read through all the posts on this thread from the beginning, to understand the reason why that post was made? Nobody is comparing staff strength of major oil companies. The point was to show that not all major oil firms site their head office in the same location, where their drilling operations or exploration activities are conducted. Listen and learn!

...but you are ignoring the Nigerian context in favor of a foreign entity with different geographical, safety and security issues.

Are oil workers getting killed, kidnapped, amputated and slaughtered anywhere in Norway? I don't think so.

What they are doing in Norway is not a one size fits all prescription for the rest of the world.

Please, confine your argument and logic to Nigeria.

Mofe72:
VAT is totally irrelevant. Even the last born in my family pays VAT.

Did I or did I not state that the oil companies remit to the FG?
You equally just stated it.
Please to which organization/body do the buyers of our crude oil exports make payments to?

Is it not the oil companies

I know it is done under supervision of the NNPC, but money still goes through the oil companies to the federal government.

Lol, I've had a good time with this banter.

Cheers

Because your Gov. took loans for projects he didnt execute does not mean all govs. are like that. Ogbeni Rauf, with all due respect is a confirmed looter.
gov. Udom is yet to show such tendency. Remember the Secretary to the Federal Govt, Boss Mustafar of APC, gave Gov. Udom a PDP governor the most transperent Gov. Award just last week.

For an opposition governor to get such honor is a test of the mans character.

Purehuman:
No, you were throwing wrong information around. I was only correcting the information you threw.

Akwa Ibom is not safe for Exon Mobile and Oil workers. Facts don't lie.

Oil companies left because of lack of safety and security, violence and kidnappings.

You can not guarantee their safety and security with office building..[/b]
