cescky: No. Foreign companies produce it and pay Bayelsa. Now tell me, what does Bayelsa produce? |

Sagamite: Trick question for those who do not understand what you are saying. In terms of production, we can discuss the aquaculture production if you would like. |
Re: North’ll Kill Petroleum Industrial Bill-ex-minority Leader by Sagamite(m): 4:05pm On Jun 23, 2011 |
EzeUche!: Exactly. People will be opening their mouth saying Northerners are lazy and produce nothing when they produce nada too. Just because they are lucky oil is deposited in their region or seas around it. Hardly any region bar Lagos, Ogun, Oyo and maybe some few Igbo states (I am aware of) that DO MANUFACTURE something or produce tangible jackshit. Yet what even those produce is not sufficient. EzeUche!: Do they? I am not aware. Is it industrial? What is the quantity? |

So, basically the North is insisting others foot her bills? The rest of Nigeria had better device a means to cut off those retrogressives . The North is the one holding the rest in Perpetual slavery. |

While certainly people who produce stuff are respected more by me than those who don't, at the end of the day when it comes time to pay bills, a lazy man who has a gold mine or oil well on his property is just as good as the intelligent man who uses his brains to generate wealth (well, not quite, but close enough.) So yes, Bayelsa doesn't produce anything. But sometimes being lucky enough to have dinosaurs die on your patch of land (or however else oil was formed) is better than being industrious, creative, etc |

ekt_bear: But relying on a resource that doesn't last forever is not very smart. Becuase once that resource is used up, what can you fall back on. The place that is known for production will always do better than the places they rely on resources. Europe does not have much resources, but those countries focused on production and look where it led them. |

We need to have a look at the bill before we comment, the disparity should not necessarily be that great as there is a pipeline that runs from the south to the North anyway. The North produces the bulk of the food we consume down here, I marvel at people who say Northerners are lazy, I am sure they have not been up north to see these poor people tilling the land for their daily needs, it is not only when you run after cars in traffic selling stuff that you are hardworking. |
Re: North’ll Kill Petroleum Industrial Bill-ex-minority Leader by ektbear: 4:39pm On Jun 23, 2011 |
I don't think that is the right way to think about things. If I have $100 billion sitting in the ground somewhere, and am able to draw 1% of the value of it for 100 years, then assuming I invest the proceeds wisely, I'll still benefit in years 101, 102 and beyond. Of course, if I piss away that money, then in 100 years time I'll be screwed. Europe has already extracted that figurative $100 billion (not necessarily through oil obviously, but through a variety of things over the past many years) and has now invested it wisely (into educating their people, infrastructure, industry, etc). Anyway, it isn't an either/or proposition. . . you can both harvest the resource and invest in useful things. |

ekt_bear: I don't understand. How is a lazy man better or on par with an intelligent hardworking man? |
Re: North’ll Kill Petroleum Industrial Bill-ex-minority Leader by ektbear: 4:51pm On Jun 23, 2011 |
Sagamite: Lazy man whose father left him an inheritance which pays him $500K/year is "better or on par" (at least if we mean just from a money POV) with an intelligent hardworking engineer whose job pays him $80-90K/year or doctor who earns $150k/year. Lazy man (e.g., Eddy Curry formerly of the Knicks) who hit the genetic jackpot and thus earns millions of dollars per year is also better than that hardworking engineer or doctor. Saudi Arabia hit the jackpot as well, and is better off than most other countries in the world, due to nothing but dumb luck. |

He is helping the US and Europe to ensure that this bill is not passed so that we will continue to be in the dark of how much oil we produce and export. Very sad that some sections of the country are pulling the rest backwards. It is a shame that he is not concerned that 73% of kids in Borno State between 6-16yrs have never been to school while Imo State is recording almost 100% school enrolment for the same age bracket and the new Gov is still not satisfied that he has just declared free education for every kid in Imo State. Ten years from now what will be the status and mentality of kids from these two states mentioned? Definitely one will be very advanced and rearing to acquire more knowledge and know-how on how to mine and refine the oil while the other will be a tool for religious extremism and totally dependent on handouts from the federation allocation to states and local govts while asking for quota system to slow down the other kid from further academic advancement. The north is truly in problem and the gap in all human development indexes between them and the south will keep widening. Sad to have people retrigressive ethnic jingoists like Hon Sumaila as our representatives. |

If you dont like some parts of the bill, you TRY to insert some modifications to help your constituency. You dont have to "kill" the whole bill. This should be politics amongst fellow countrymen, right? When did the whole thing turn into a zero sum game? |

Sagamite:I know the distinction, and even made it in the previous post ("at least if we mean just from a money POV". But I think in this context, it is understood that we are talking about money, production, economic activity, etc. . . not more abstract measures like happiness, quality of life, etc. |

The senator or whatever he is knows that if he can mobilize the north to go against the bill, there will be an uprising and in the process, the bill won't pass. The senators reason may be one to make himself popular so he can contest for political offices or he has been bribed to say this to stair the pot of fire so the bill won't pass, The truth is the hatred towards the north right now is too much and their only redemption in Nigeria is true federalism or a break up from the union North will and has been hindering the progress of other zones indirectly yet the country has so much ignored this, True federalism is the only way to have each zone grow at their own pace, no more hand outs, The northern states will have the options of buying crude from oil producing states or buy from foreign market, whichever deal is better for them, |
Re: North’ll Kill Petroleum Industrial Bill-ex-minority Leader by emmke(m): 8:23pm On Jun 23, 2011 |

Majority of food stuff are grown in the north ( i presume). Denying the north the proceeds of crude oil will be an act against humanity. (same country) I believe the S.S deserves much more of the proceeds but one needs to show fairness to the north because if nothing else,they have some humans amongst them and they need to run their society too. |

Please let the hon. member shed as much blood as he can as long as it is his own blood and not someone else's blood. For a copy of the PIB go to http://www.nnpcgroup.com/Portals/0/pdf/PIBDrapftBill2008.pdf. There is nothing that suggest what the hon. member is saying is true or possible. It is very sad that an individual especially an elected official makes inciteful and untrue statements and no one in the government thought to set the record straight and persecute the individual for inciting public violence. More over I have noticed that certain Northern Leaders think Nigeria is a welfare state; spending and not producing. Do you know that the north shares from the Federal tax collected on Alcohol at the same time they ban the sale of alcohol? Hypocrites! |
