however the bigger picture is that america never used to drill its own environments for oil but now it has started drilling its own environment for oil and so they no longer need to get oil from nigeria and couple that with the fact that the biggest oil refinery in the world is being built in nigeria and will be functional this year so it is no longer viable for them to be here anymore. the new emerging superpower is nigeria and in the future all countries will bring their oil to nigeria to be refined. there is a transfer of global wealth happening and a reversal of fortunes. africa is emerging and so it is no longer viable for the west to be in africa again. its cheaper for them to look for oil in their own backyard now. Also many local nigerians are taking over the drilling game in nigeria and so the competition is stiff. couple that with the fact that the use of oil is now being seing as a dinosaur when other energy avenues are cropping up everyday

It amazes me how someone without an idea of how things works confidently and authoritatively write this up, only to show their emptiness.

The summary from the article is the PIB that has not been passed, the bill would make investment in O&G not much profitable as it is today for the IOC. Investment in O&G is long term and they are not willing to invest with uncertainty about the PIB, that's the reason they rather invest in other countries with clear regulations.
About local Nigerian companies taking over the industry, it is mostly onshore. Offshore is capital intensive and very risky for some of the local players. This is where the IOC comes in.
Your point about other countries bringing their oil to Nigeria was really absurd and empty.

They should leave, some of us had never felt the impact of oil mining in Nigeria any way.

NigeriaIsDoomed:
Nigerians were warned that the walking corpse, fulani illiterate would wreck Nigeria's economy.
prior to 2015, Nigeria's economy was the fastest growing economy in Africa, inflation rate stood at a single digit, exchange rate was 200 to $1, FDI was pouring into the country and etc. unfortunately, today Nigeria is struggling to grow, inflation has gone hyper, naira becoming one of the worst performing currencies in the world, mass exodus of foreign investments, skyrocketing national debts, poverty capital of the world added to Buhari's record, country with the highest unemployment in the world loading and worst of all handing over the country to terrorists who are having a field day unchallenged.
Boko Haram, Iswap, Ansuru, killer fulani herdsmen, bandits, kidnappers, gunmen, ritual killings, yahoo yahoo everywhere.
If he weren't allowed to rule, his miscreants and pigs would be crying by now and disturbing the country about how their personal lord and saviour would have transformed the country into utopia.

even if its number 7 in the world thats huge considering there are close to 200 countries in the world. meaning a huge share of the oil refining global business will be coming to Nigeria in the future

No, it's because it's no longer business as usual...

No free money like before..

Hiss!!!

Keep deceiving yourself and think you are bn patriotic.
My dear, this is not how to play patriotism.
Patriotism does not mean rejecting the truth just to make ur country look good while it is rotten inside.
You will hurt the country u wished to protect with this attitude.
Patriotism means accepting the flaws of ur nation and work hard to fix it.

No free money like before..
If there was anything like free money, it was those in authority that were benefiting more from it.
So they are not moving away cos of ur so called free money.
They are cos the nation is no longer safe for them and it's only a living that can run a business.
No matter how fertile the land is, it the risk is higly life threatening, you will tend to leave the so called fertile land.
The foreigners know the truth and are not playing politics wt the truth the way we are.

What you should know is that this country is few steps from sinking entirely unless we change our ways and seek the intervention of God rather than playing Ostrich.

Take it or leave it.

Buhari ruined this country

I know someone, who before 2015 had a suv and a bus for business. He complained about Gej and voted Buhari. He was not hungry then, he was angry of what he said was massive corruption.

Today he treks.
He doesn't complain anymore. He only regrets voting buhari

I'm glad that so many of them are suffering.

They wanted 'progress', let them enjoy.

It is the southern people particularly the Niger deltan that will loose a great deal from all this.

The aboki will resort to Agriculture for their own survival.

They are looking at more environmental friendly energy sources. Oil is going to be a thing of the past in 10-20 years.

just start to imagine a future with electric cars and hydrogen driven cars.


hydrogen fission can produce the same energy as oil .
and hydrogen can be manufactured or sucked out of the air

This is the bitter truth, grin grin grin grin Oyinbo don.spend plenty money on.research.

So we don't have capacity to pump oil but we have capacity to drive cars?
Which kind of long throat is this?
Let them all leave and leave us with no more crude oil.
Either we learn to extract it ourselves by force, or we carry pan on our head continue trekking as we were doing before colonisation.
Nonsense. angry

Are you an Indian?, You have Jawaharlal Nehru's mindset.
You will make a great president, honestly you shocked me.
When Nehru said Indians must produce and.ride made in India cars, he was called.all.sort of names but look at India today, there are no easy ways, hard way is the.only way..

Sometimes I laugh when I see an ignorant being like you ranting on what he doesnt know keeps me amused.....

You should be thinking about your next meal not here typing like controlled animal

Free money? Was Chevron distributing free money on the street or to your household? Lol

Because you see news on the social media and your bigotry hormones will make you type nonsense just to defend your monthly stipends you sold your worthless conscience to your paymaster

FYI, Chevron is not leaving.... I work at Agbami field, Our company signed a 5 years + Extension contract for Support service to Agbami FPSO (SBM Watch, Tanker Export operations, Static Towing)

Now go have a seat and don't contribute on issues you do not have an idea about.....

Lasat 2 elections i shout and write tire make dem no vote this bad luck man..nigerians no hear..always applying sentiments to everything

which countries will bring oil for Nigeria to refine lol? the same ppl nigerians and western countries pushing for
Buhari dem don abandon am now.


Maybe Niger Republic or Benin but definitely not western or european countries.

that Dangote refining best bet is to focus on providing n refined crude Nigeria and
dangote always likes monopoly after a while his fellow northerners will ban fuel importation so that any PMS will have to come from him.

jus like cement etc

Nigeria is on its last legs . These western companies are just seeing writing on wall and are diverting away from oil and from risky region of the world.
Coal used to be king of the fuel in 19 th century,now it's a pale shadow .oil is king in 20 th century ,now sun and wind will the king in 21 st century

yes they know the country will break
