you guys are expert in lying for your generations, for your information am a geologist... At no point ever in history was any oil found in present day ebonyi.... Don't qoute me what someone wrote on his face book...please tell us which company did the exploration and discovered crude oil there.

Ever8090:
you are right..such a great observation that is not common among our people..I am from Benue state,truth be told, oil exploration in that region is never a good idea..my brother if you come to this place and see how famers suffer on bad roads to take their farm produce,you will be shocked.
In my father's compound we sometimes allow oranges to get over ripe on the tree so that we can easily shake them off the trees to make way for another season produce.
The last oranges I sold to Hausa traders was, 500 naira per bag, I sold 312 bags I almost shed year.
I got angry I started cutting down some of the plantation field to use the land for yam farming.

In zaki Biam here in Benue state, trucks of yams not less than 200 leaves the market every day and each trucks carries about 9600 tubers of yam.
Yet our people are still leaving in thatch houses because they sake for ridiculous prices.

My step mum sold her basket of tomatoes for 250 naira. Which she could not even get buyers to buy all that she took to the market that day,she had to trow 9 basket of the tomatoes away.

I started a campaign of Facebook to call on the government attention to a need for industries for processing our farm produce,but I received insult from our youths,and finally was threatened with DSS arrest for calling out the governor on social media.

Now they are coming with this crude oil trash that will be the final destruction of our people just as they did with the people of the Niger Delta

petrage:
Where are the geologists on this platform? Help educate Nairalanders that Benue Trough ain't confined to Benue State. The Benue Trough is a strike line that trends NE-SW including basins like Chad, Gongola, Anambra down to the Niger Delta. NNPC should plainly tell us which of the basins was oil discovered in Commercial quantity thus the guy claiming Oil in Nsukka has a point.

Igbochief001:
Nsukka in enugu and Ebonyi all have comercial oil and gas that Nigeria have refused to develop for reasons best known to them

The first place oil was discovered n mined in Nigeria is in the present day ebonyi .... But no p Sha
