Gas explosion occurred yesterday at the Federal Housing Estate in Ugwuogo Nike, Enugu, which was triggered when residents were trying to drill a water borehole.

The ease at which the fire started suggests how endowed the Enugu and the entire southeast is with Natural gas.

Drilling of deep Wells in search of water in Enugwu must be stopped immediately until d state govt sets in place sound engineering & geological protocols to foreclose unintended release of gas. The safety of people & environment must be guaranteed by govt.

The Nigerian government under their wicked Military commissions thought they could absolutely crush everything about Igboland including our potentials when they ceded several parts of Alaigbo to other parts of Nigeria, including the Oyel rich parts of Igboland; all to delineate and sap us from any mineral and natural resources. But GOD PASS THEM, in their haste to perpetuate wickedness they forgot Gas and Green energy will be the future one day, now the oil has brought more curse than good to Nigeria, Oyel isn't an attractive commodity on the global market anymore...na gas dey reign now and we have mega-tons of that sitting under the earth of Igboland, keep your oyel and drown in it while you impoverish the Niger Delta regions that own it...we will keep our gas and harness it for the sole development of Igboland.

Exactly

Oguta and Ohaji/Egbama combined in Imo have the largest natural gas deposit in Africa...

The fear of Igbo advancing and getting wealthy has stopped them from Constructing LNG plant in Imo State...

Sorry bro, but state government has no business with exploration and production of natural resources no matter where they are found, the resources belongs to FG

Also there may be gas there but other factors might make the production not economically viable. But let's hope Enugu will enjoy the presence of this Natural gas

Seems you're intentionally being negative and looking for ways to put a dampener on things! Of course we know Nigeria has been structured in a way that allows some to steal and covet the resources of others.....all in the name of 'one Nigeria'! Even one of the posters above, from south-south, is bemoaning the fact his region has been stripped of its hydrocarbon wealth over the past decades with little besides a polluted environment to show for it! So we all know what's going on.

What Nonny was saying is that due to the recent incidents of gas release when drilling boreholes, it may be a good idea for the state gov't to place a temporary ban on it until a geological survey of the area concerned is done. Or do you seriously think the federal gov't would be even remotely interested in doing it and handing over the results to the state gov't!?

What other factors do you reckon stand in the way of a viable use of the states gas endowments?

Good question! Had it been Enugu exploiting gold resources like's happening in Zamfara, there'd have been DSS, army, police and customs swarming the state by now and shooting up the place like Rambo!

Congratulations to Enugu State!

You can now officially file to Nigeria as an Oil or Gas producing state.

And this makes sense:
If Enugu has rich deposits of Coal, then she should have gas also.

Oil and Gas Exploration can start in earnest!

Nice, natural gas in Enugu state this is good...

Remember, Enugu state has the largest amount of natural Coal reserve in West Africa, develop countries still use coal to generate electricity..

Oguta and Ohaji/Egbama combined in Imo have the largest natural gas reserves in Africa...

The fear of Igbo advancing and getting wealthy has stopped them from Constructing LNG plant in Imo State or continue the coal exploration.

Now you commented base on emotions...

Common sense should have let you ask for the cause of the fire instead of talking about bîâfrâ and separation.
