How much does Nigeria make from oil? Paltry $18billion

How much was Twitter sold $44 billion

Market capitalization of all the oil majors in the world are not even up to $500billion

But Facebook, Apple, Google, Amazon including Tesla are worth over $15 trillion


The earlier Africans begin to understand that real wealth is the one in our brains more than the one under the Earth.

The earlier we fix our problems

Oil is past her prime

Even the Arabs with oil 1000 times than Nigeria, understand this

Rugaria:


The oil communities in question are all Igbo speaking communities carved out from Imo and Abia states and given to Rivers state by some wicked set of mischievous military rulers. That's the fact. The so called governor of Rivers state has come out openly in the past to say that there are no igbos in Rivers! Yet he's dangerously coveting Oil and gas resources from Igbo communities carved out from the old Imo State! The military can not dictate our borders. We know our borders and will never recognize the ones fixed by a vindictive Obasanjo and friends. That is why the agitations are on to redress these iniquitous actions of the Nigerians state against the East. That agitations will never end until the truth is revealed on these issues..

4. However, instead of instigating the NBC to do the right thing, Governor Emeka Ihedioha of Imo State, shortly after assuming office, repudiated the subsisting 50:50 percent sharing formula and made provocative claims to the exclusive ownership of the entire Akiri and Mbede oil wells.

16. Now that the Supreme Court have spoken, we hope Governor Hope Uzodima will accept the outcome in good faith, refrain from his usual diatribes against the judiciary [/b]and explore possible pathways to accommodation and compromise from the Rivers State Government.

17. This, [b]we may readily oblige, despite the betrayals and back-stabbing by Emeka Ihedioha, who in spite of the extensive support and goodwill he received from the Government and people of Rivers State to become Governor, led the onslaught and created a wedge between two brotherly States that have been living at peace and in friendship with each other.

ThickSharon123:


They won't understand. They believe more oil means you're relevant. . I laugh at them, becuase when they see the east develop rapidly without their oil I wonder how the reaction is. Some are even saying south east doesn't have oil, as if we care even though there' are many in Anambra, imo and Abia state and perhaps Ebonyi yet to be discovered.

I wouldn't even tell an Igbo man to rely on crude oil, it doesn't show any worth. When you can't refine it at the spot for consumption and when you need it for export to only come back to you after payments for more consumption.

All we need to do as Igbo people is we shouldn't face our energies on the Ikwerre, Ijos and the likes. We should develop and tell them it isn't about oil, by then the black soot would be too bad for them and they'll be crying their crops and river is not good for farm. By then we would have been far ahead.

All we need to do is open an Igbo diaspora account. Our people far and wide begin to contribute and support us with the little they can, and we look for other means for development. Who oil help? They believe oil is for relevance, but they are clowns, becuase the relevance they seek has made them clowns to the world. They aren't global citizens but they have oil. ewu.

No be say them wan use the oil money develop the state

This is an olive branch from Gov. Wike. I am glad he’s very magnanimous in victory. This is very commendable. Goes to show the humanity in the governor. We need leaders with this kind of nationalistic and open mindset to be president. I’m impressed. Kudos Gov. Wike.

Hopefully, the two governors can sit down and work out a political solution that will be beneficial to the two states. Where the law ends, humanity sets in.

gost:
Akri Wells operated by Agip are in Imo state, How the court got to the conclusion that they belong to Rivers is talk for another day, however the supreme Court have spoken and it is final. We rise.
IPOB should stop making empty noise and engage other Nigerians intellectually.

PressMyButton:

17 oil Wells were disputed and challenged in court not 44. Wike fought for 17 oil Wells and won. No matter your consolation, all the oil Wells in Imo can't produce more than 17,000bpd.
When your foolhardiness haunts you right back in the ass, you turn around to accuse others of hate, nothwithstanding your innate covetousness.
Re again the press statement issued by Wike and see how you betrayed the magnanimity of the people of Rivers in every word of it.
All I see on this thread is ibos bitching over the landmark victory of your supposedly SS brothers.

shortIGBOman:


Na lie

Naniboi17:



Which one is lie? Imo has about 163 oil wells excluding the oil wells in contention. The 17 oil wells in contention are very close to Imo state. In fact they are between Imo and Rivers state. The boundaries are not clearly defined. Imo state is also affected by the environmental hazard of those oil wells. I think that the National Boundary Commission should have been the best to put an end to the dispute.
Why should the Court interfere when the NBC are yet to produce a definite boundary?

There are no Igbos in Rivers or any inch of the SouthSouth. i repeat. There are no Igbos in Rivers or any inch of the SouthSouth.
After the creation of states, boundary communities were gradually allowed to chose where they want to be. Between Edo and Ondo, there were a few exchanges from errors made at state creation. If those Imo and Abia so called annexed communities actually want to be in the South East, they would have clamored and be allowed in. However the reality is everyone is happy to escape any union with Igbos.
