Bayelsa State Governor Duoye Diri has explained that oil wasn’t developed in Nigeria by money made from cocoa farming but money invested by international oil companies.

The governor, on Thursday, during an interview on Channels Television breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily said many Nigerian leaders wrongly spread the notion that cocoa money was invested into oil exploration in the country.

A lot of people make a mistake and say we used cocoa money to developed oil, that’s not true.

“Multinational, international oil companies came with the capital in oil exploration and exploitation. There was no money from Nigeria, every money that came was monies from those who came to develop oil here. These are the issues Nigeria needs to resolve,” Diri said.

Even though Bayelsa State is an oil-producing state, the governor said his administration is working to re-orientate youths to go into farming.

According to him, farming is a priority and everyone in the state is encouraged to key into it.

“Agriculture is a priority for this government, we are working hard to have a change of mindset of our youths to key into Agriculture. Tomorrow, the Akwa-Ibom governor is coming into Bayelsa to flag off the farming season. He will also superintend over the made-in-Bayelsa Agriculture show.

“Oil is almost going; we cannot continue to live (dependent) on oil. The focus of this government is agriculture. Let us all key into Agriculture,” the governor said.

​Oil according to the NNPC was discovered in Nigeria far back in 1956 at Oloibiri in the Niger Delta after half a century of exploration. The discovery was made by Shell-BP, at the time the sole concessionaire, and the country’s economy has since been largely dependent on oil production.

Afonjas are very good at stealing other tribes properties.

No be only Cocoa money na Cocacola money.

How come Afonjas stopped making money from their cocoa all of a sudden? Is it bad to continue making money off such viable venture or are they saying cocoa is no longer being used around the world today??


Very thieving tribe. All they know is to reap where they did not sow.

70% of Afonja landlords today stole their properties from Igbos in 1967.
The Lagos State that Afonjas claim as their greatest achievement was the Federal capital developed by Abokis using Niger Delta and South East oil and palm oil money. Afonjas contributed nothing.


Mark my words, once Nigeria breaks up, Oduduwa Nation will be colonized by either Arewa or Biafra.
