Yesterday the Senate finally passed the "petroleum industry bill" thirteen years after it first graced the National Assembly chambers.

Although several people have been celebrating the action of the Senate as victory for oil producing communities albeit ignorantly, a look into the document passed by the Senate simply shows a democratic coup d' tat against host communities and a pyrrhic victory for indigenous people that suffer from pollution and degradation of their environment due to oil exploration of their communities.

Firstly, the Senate redefined host communities to include areas where petroleum pipelines pass through contrary to logical reasoning. In the original bill of 2008, host communities are oil producing communities and communities that hosts major oil facilities/installations.

The redefinition of host communities by the Senate simply means that a community in Jigawa or Kano state with pipeline running through it will now enjoy same host community status with a community in Akwa Ibom or Bayelsa states whose soil hosts this oil. In other words, communities that do not produce oil will start enjoying benefit accrued to communities that actually produce oil simply because pipeline pass through their territories.

Furthermore, the Senate cut compensation to host communities from 5% that was in the original bill to 3%. How ridiculous can this be? While I have been of the position that the proposed 5% is ridiculous, the Senate further slashed it to a meagre 3%.

In addition the Senate systematically allocated lump sum of the profit from Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, to service Frontier Exploration annually that are located in the north. Meaning, they will enjoy over 30% of NNPC profit annually even when they produce zero oil for now.

It is unfortunate that Nigeria is still in the situation of robbing Abraham to satisfy Ibrahim.

This PIB is nothing but a coup against Ijaw nation and every other oil producing ethnic nationalities in Nigeria. It is pyrrhic to say the least and should be resisted.

Ask yourself why members of the south blindly voted for it along with the North.... Is it that they didn't read through the bill... Or have their aides read it for them and explain it to them before voting?

Like people keep saying.....the problem of the south is the south.

Has the documents been made public? So all the communities up north that has pipeline will now earn 3% for nothing, while our lands our being polluted down south

I hope your analysis is true.

Lol... The bolded bit of your message above is a perfect example of sensationalism... You just had to mention Kano and Jigawa to give the statement some emotional weight Please which communities have oil pipelines in Kano or Jigawa or even the entire north?

Regarding inclusion of pipeline host communities as beneficiaries of the PIB compensation, I hardy see how this redefinition of 'host communities' is a wrong call... and NO, it has nothing to do with the north cos 99.9% of the communities that benefit from this redefinition are also Niger-Delta communities.

The majority of oil spills we've had in the last few decades didnt exactly happen at communities hosting the oil wells; rather they happened along the way at pipeline rupture locations, which are far from the actual oil wells. In your opinion, would it still be a fair deal if the majority of communities suffering environmental degradation from spills are shut out of any compensation simply because they dont have oil wells?

Curious to know which communities up north actually have oil pipelines passing through them. The OP obviously mentioned Kano and Jigawa intenrionally to drag nerves (a.k.a sensationalism).

Redefinition of 'host community' to include communities hosting pipelines is a fair move in my opinion; and no, it has absolutely nothing to do with the north cos 99.99% of the additional communities to benefit from this redefinition are still Niger Delta communities. Oil spills and environmental degradation dont only happen at communities were there are oil wells. Indeed the majority of oil spills actually happen along the way where pipelines rupture, usually in other Niger Delta communities that dont seat oil wells.

The silence of the Niger Delta means they're okay with it and some big wigs have been settled.

That's who they are. Very timid and myopic.

Let them keep fighting for percentages but for most of us ,we aren't interested in that anymore.

For those who have ears unlike MNK that has refused to listen,we have nothing in common with these minorities. We shouldn't fight for them again . Let's rape them continually with Yoruba and hausa.
Thereafter , we separate when the time for the dissolution of this country comes.

This is why i laugh at all these crafty buggers (like Buhari and his thick-headed minions on here) who say we should take any grievance we have to the national assembly! National assembly that's tilted in favour of the core muslim north.....that will always be the spoiler when any bill that benefits the south is to be voted on. They not only work against the interests of the south (out of sheer wickedness and a belief they own the country), but also use their unfair numbers to get extra unmerited advantages for themselves......as we can see with the passage of this useless PIB into law!

The dullness of southern members of the national assembly is another issue altogether! Where were the fuckers when that unfair bill was passed into law.....snoozing?
