It is

In the event of Nigeria splitting.....the North would lose access to the sea. That is where the problem is.

Most landlocked countries have to pay something to countries where their goods pass through. Then if the country of transit is unstable, that is another issue.

Nigeria is a contraption...I agree with y'all there...but splitting the country causes great complications for many.

You don't have to like the idea of Nigeria. If una wan split the country....you guys know what to do. I am just explaining why oil in the North won't lead to splitting of the country.

And I am not interested in the argument for or against Nigeria's splitting. Just pointing to the fact that the whole argument and the premises it was based on is flawed.

Like I said earlier, your argument is based on 3 assumptions that do not have to hold (i.e there are alternatives and workarounds for them).
1. That the oil has to be exported.
2. That the only medium of export is through the sea.

3. And that the only coast through which aguch export on sea can occur is from the southern coast of Nigeria.

All of these are flawed reasons.

For 1. above, reference back to the recent Kolamni well, it was reported that the product is to be refined for local use and the gas to be used for the generation of electricity. There is no provision or even mention of export.

There are various fields in different places around the world whose output are not sold on the intl market. The whole of your 1st point dosent hold.

2. In instances where export is pursued, there are various models that can be pursued to achieve such and a major one can be through pipelines, as we speak, there have been plans to pipelines to Morocco in far west Africa and another through the Sahara into Niger and Algeria, export via the sea isn't the only of putting hydrocarbons out there. Export through the sea isn't the only way out.

3. I made mention of a pipeline in Cameroon that Tchad has been using to export it's crude, a similar model can be implemented or that same can even be used. Another one can be having barges come inland as far north as Kogi and Benue, get laden by product and then put out to bigger vessels on the Atlantic or better still, lay a pipeline through the lower Niger (pursue the creation of canal, similar to the suez canal) and pipe that crude to vessels in the Atlantic.

Many different models of doing these things can be pursued and will come to fruition. There isn't one and only way of doing it.

I am aware of all that, and in case you do not know...countries can charge transit fees for piped crude oil.

Think it does not happen....Chad pays Cameroon transit fees. (Ya think pipelines are running through land for free).

Which is better...North pays transit fees in a divided Nigeria, or doesn't in a united Nigeria?

You don't have to agree with me.

And like I said, I am not interested in the argument for or against 'one Nigeria', just punching the belief that export has be via the sea and southern Nigerian coast.

Yes it will be that way in a united Nigeria, just without the added burden of transit fees.

So, it's 'One Nigeria' by the way? I thought only the backward northerners that don't contribute anything are hell-bent on that?

A state sitting on billions of oil
But is looking like Syria and Afghanistan
Now Dem don use and dump una

Oil money turn a dry desert to a mega city called Dubai
But look at Niger Delta looking like an apocalypse town from hell.
Is it not the same oil that made Dubai
Abi Niger Delta oil na counterfeit
Black man is cursed

blame their governors please not federal governments

Forget all the hype, read and research about the prospect of the oil industry, oil is staying for the next 2 to 3 decades and gas for much longer.

I know , but after 2-3 decades , what next ?

callmevirus:
Why only in the north?

They want to create a narrative that the North also have oil,

The largest gas reserve in Africa was discovered in Imo State but the government is hiding it from the people and Nigerians

Have u ever question the poor leadership in Niger-Delta or you are just jealous of others efforts?

Raheeqilmaktoom:


Why isn't there oil in the north?

The oil majors of this world have diverse geography, from deserts in Saudi - the leading producer of the product alongside Russia, to semi arid regions to snowy areas and plains. Some of the biggest fields are in the deserts - Saudi and China. Rid yourself of this hatred and as you accuse others - jealousy and envy.

,😆😆😆😆😆 Indeed. You and I know there is no oil in commercial quantity in Northern Nigeria. It's all about politics. Stop caping and be real. It's all about jealousy and envy. If oil was in Northern Nigeria in commercial quantity, it would have become common knowledge since. This shinnenigan was introduced during OBj's tenure and it was found to be a profound hoax. OBJ wasn't going to go along with them so they dropped it. But since Buhari is a Fulani ethnic bigot and represents Northern interest, they have been able to pull this off.

Bit you just confessed, albeit indirectly, that the oil is not in commercial quantity.

When the world is moving into clean energy

Dey play, just dey play.

What is clean energy?
Any energy that relies on battery to store energy is not clean, because the production of batteries have been scientifically proven to be more environmental degrading than fusel fuel.
But the West don't care because unlike fusel fuel, the environmental degrading effect of batteries happenes where it's raw materials are mined than where it is used🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶

Thank God no one can call us leeches now, we are the most blessed in Nigeria, we have food meat and mineral resources

Stop adding Middle Belt to your Sharia North

Ikpaitid:
So the only zone that is a parasite in Nigeria is the SE,the North now has Agriculture, solid minerals and crude oil.

We have 6 regions in Nigeria not 4,

SE is reacher than the entire North combined.

Lol congrats to the North jare as for those fools in the SS who they used divide and rule for after the Biafra war i hope you get whats coming for you for betraying your people in the SE

Fool it's Middle Belt not the entire North

Nigeria splitting doesn't mean the North won't have access to the sea or won't have trade pacts, trade relations and agreements with the SW to guarantee the North access to the sea to ship their products and services anywhere in the SW or the rest of the world.

The SW is the North's largest trading partner as we speak so Nigeria splitting won't do a damn thing to the North, negatively.

The North and the SW will continue their friendship and trade relationship as if Nigeria never broke up, I even see open borders and zero Visa requirements for Northerners to enter, trade and live in the SW, but Biafra must face strict border and Visa control.

Splitting doesn't mean anything, except when it comes to hostile neighbors like Biafra.

Well Kogi is not that place.
It may interest you BTW, that the South fits the literal definition of a wasteland. A land where you can’t farm or fish. Where the rivers and ponds are contaminated due to spillage. A land where militants controls the creeks. Where expats are kidnapped. You’d agree with me.

Modified: A land where the oxygen is toxic!
You breathe in and breathe out poison. Reflect on that!
