smeag0l:
There is oil in offshore lagos. Just before the republic of benin.

MelesZenawi:


How many litres?

toblosky:
But Wike is a tout, what exactly will you do to a tout? Before he was a elected ,we knew he is a tout and that is what we needed at that moment.Let me know what exactly the federal government will do to the chief security officer of a state

smeag0l:
I've answered that.

MelesZenawi:


Location is not litres.

How many lb of oil and how many cu.ft of gas?

michlins:
according to the land use act of Nigeria, the federal government owns all land and leaves it in trust of the states. Wike is a care taker. Buhari is the landlord

smeag0l:
I mentioned that some minutes ago on this thread. 12,000 barrels per day of crude oil with a potential to increase to 25000 barrels per day when additional processing facilities are installed.

michlins:
please eh guys. Let's assume Buhari orders the IG of police to withdraw the security attached to the person of Wike, wetin una fit do from the comfort of your keyboard and phones. What if Buhari decides to stop the flow of allocation to Rivers State, wetin una go do? What if he decides to militarize the street of Rivers State and orders everyone including the governor to stay indoors, what will you folks do?

michlins:
you guys are funny. These people were licensed to operate in Nigeria by the federal government. They are not just backed by the federal government but also the constitution. They pay taxes to the federal government and Rivers State collects hers too which makes Rivers a partner. They can sue Rivers State and collect billions in damages. They are provisioned to operate in a time like this. Air Peace have been flying and landing in Lagos and never had sanwo tried to meddle. You might say Air Peace brings critical materials for the fight against the pandemic but those things won't pay for themselves. Caverton services is needed to ensure that we generate the funds

MelesZenawi:


12000bpd in Lagos State?
Clap for yourself.

All those wildcat Wells in Lagos State na just scam. They are producing nothing...there

Audio 12000...bpd

Kenplay:
See ehn….The truth of the matter is that the Company mess up. When Wike confronted them they should have use pleading and diplomacy to calm things.

BUT instead they wanted to flex muscle with Abuja connection. At the end the company will lose because if things escalate River state will be too hot for them to operate their business.

Knowing when to apply wisdom is wisdom itself.

guy222:
no mind them, they dont know that the federal government can stop rivers state allocation as a result of this single act and nothing i repeat nothing will happen

smeag0l:
I dont have to argue further with you on this since you dont work in the industry.

Patode:
Caverton flew passengers from Forcados , to Port Harcourt. Now, Forcados is in Delta (a closed state) and PortHarcourt is in Rivers (a closed state). These passengers will arrive Port Harcourt, and spread into the State. What part of this isolation/quarantine do we not understand?

MelesZenawi:

Hedonisst:
This is a poorly written/edited statement. Simeon Nwakaudu should be relieved of his duties because he is clearly incompetent. He was probably in one beer parlour and was ordered to write a statement at short notice, in spite of his inebriation.

The quality of 'short notice' outputs indicates competence, or the lack thereof. The use of the word 'hilarious' in the statement is stupid.

I'm embarrassed on the Rivers State Government's behalf. "never bordered" indeed.

babaolofin:


Firstly, I just came here briefly this morning and opened the last page on the thread. You asked question thrice about oil in Lagos, which shows you are very uninformed and cannot even do little research before coming online. Are you a local trader at Ariara market or Onitsha main market? I believe only local trader at such market will be asking such question on elementary matter such as crude oil in Lagos. When you are given the basic statistics, you said it is a lie, why asking question when you don't want to learn?

You are not an Ijaw or Ogoni or pure Ikwerre man. Alhaji (Asari Dokubo) and Tom are well informed.

poshestmina:

Wike is the Governor and Chief Security Officer of Rivers State and so can, should and has done the right thing to protect his territory.
What exactly was the mission of the helicopter and who were the passengers?
Their Sinister , unknown mission is highly suspicious.
Why does Lagos State government have right to arrest and prosecute Funke Akindele etc for breaking the Lockdown Regulations and Rivers State government can't arrest and prosecute people for same offences?
SMH
What business is more important than the health of Rivers State people at this particular point in time?
Wike has done well and we are in support of it.
Everybody stay in your state till all of this is over ,it's not that hard!!!!.

onegentleguy:
There's absolutely NO need for anyone to get all worked up over this issue.
...it will be sorted out in no time.
This fight is like that between an elephant and a zebra.

Was laughing in Swahili while reading through some post here !!

CAVERTON' zonal office in PH(which is their main operational base in the state) is located right inside the Nigerian Airforce Base.
Which local gov't chairman will dare to go near there?
...who's got the balls !!

The pivotal thing is that CAVERTON had the requisite licence to operate. ...even at this time.(covid-19 in view)
...and that that licence was duly granted to it by the FG, who by all LAWs governing the Nigerian state controls the Airspace.
This is also in tandem with airspace best management practices accross the globe.

CAVERTON is more like an indirect Federal Govt contractor.(it even plays direct roles sometimes)
...and so their services are often needed by companies in the oil & gas sector that support cashflow generation for the country, from where every state, including Rivers(where Wike is gov) gets funds via state allocations.
Nigeria rely heavily on earnings from the oil & gas sector, hence the need to allow the likes of CAVERTON and a few others operate at this time.
...so he(wike) can't stop them from operating in the state.
By the way, CAVERTON also operates in other states like Lagos, warri in Delta state, and the Govs there haven't acted out this way.
Well, it looks like the Shell I.A(industrial area) office, also in Port Harcourt is still currently operational. Issue was with the NAF Base office.

Anyway, the Gov(Wike) is just looking for settlement m***y.
A few days ago, this same Gov complained of not getting enough covid-19 relief(N10B) like Lagos from the FG. ...but probably forgot that coys like CAVERTON are a crucial part of the players that can help the FG deliver such reliefs.

Gov Wike's actual problem is with the FG, not CAVERTON !!
CAVERTON is merely been used as "a cat's paw" to see if he can get what he wants.
We already have a hint of what's playing out.
The matter is just a minor one. ...it will be sorted out in earnest !!

If u are an investor(shareholder) in CAVERTON, Just HOLD on to ur stock and be overprotective of it. ...in fact, ACCUMULATE more if u can.
It will pay to do so !!

It is well.

Macphenson:




Point of correction, Wike took them to court for prosecution, he did not kill anybody, I wonder why you have to compare this scenario with police killing.

Caverton Helicopters goofed trying to flex muscle with a state government where it's doing business, because it feels it has few phone numbers of those in Abuja.

That's not a smart business move. Wike as the state governor will wreck that business for them to flex muscle with him, and Caverton competitors will take over River State market.

smeag0l:
Lagos has the capacity to produce 25,000 barrels per day of crude oil. This discovery was made in 2016 by yinka folawiyo petroleum limited around the Badagry area.production was planned to start early this year after 3-4 years of field development.

MelesZenawi:



How does this answer my question Yoruba man. You said there is oil in Lagos but won't allow the ones over here to rest.

You guys are simply liability to many people financial freedom.

Evince:
I didn't say he killed anyone. I am just letting u know the dramatic displays with which our leaders and forces are displaying in the guise of protecting us. The police killing happened in warri and cross river. His actions are harsh my dear. Let's not forget it is war against microbs and macrobs

babaolofin:


You asked foolish questions, only fool argue with a fool because if a sage discusses with a fool people will not understand the difference. It takes only the deep to understand the deep. You can't comprehend the answer he gave to you.

You talk about financial liability, is that not a foolish statement. I blamed the Ijaws and Ogoni people that allow you to hide under Ikwerre to undermine them. This is one of the reasons Major Isaac Adaka Boro declared Niger Delta Republic in the 60s.

You talk about financial liability, what is the percentage of financial transactions local and international that is generated in Lagos or South West compared to your village? In telecommunications, about 70% of traffic (INBOUND & OUTBOUND) takes place on switches located here, the West Africa Market is here. The Niger Delta people have told you they are not together with you. You are the people causing problem in the South. You never allow unity in the South.

michlins:
please when the powers that be comes hard on Wike, don't claim marginalization. There are exclusive lists which Wike have no power to control. This guy is just power drunk and we all know how Buhari can disregard rule of law when he wants to discipline someone. Ask NK,ask dasuki

michlins:
same immunity was there when ngige was kidnapped as a governor and his security details removed. Buhari can deal with Wike in so many ways. How about claiming that for grounding caverton,he stopped movements of critical staff and thereby hampered the workings of the oil and gas industry. And he claims that Port Harcourt will pay for the losses and put a stop on their allocation. The federal government is all powerful in Nigeria
