Trash!...

First of all, who is Kathryn and why exactly should her words be taken as sacred fact?... Is it because she is white or is it just because it aligns with the ethnic prejudices of some fellows?... how are we sure the so called Kathryn actually even made this statement?... Why is this report contained and circulated only in IPOB facebook pages and whatsapp groups?

Most of the oil fields in Nigeria and all over the world today were not known to be oil fields until exploratory drilling discovered the oil. Just recently, oil was found and is now currently drilled in Ghana... If there can be commercial quantities of oil and gas in the Lake Chad basin on the Chadian side of the border, why exactly are some folks who know nothing about petroleum geology so confident that there can't be oil on the Nigerian side of the same basin?

However, geologists over time have continued to mention that there is a structural high in the subsurface which separates the Chad portion from the Nigerian portion of thè Chad Basin. For this reason, gas (in not so commercial quantities ) is around the best they can get in North eastern Nigeria.
This simply implies that the continuous investment in the search for oil in the NE might be more capital intensive than needed for the Nigerian economy.
