One_Naira:

very very bad decision if una ask me oo!!!

SE learn from SS.
Oil brings problem, hide your sh1t.
Don't display it in this country.

Onlytruth:

My broda I hear you o. Nigeria and justice are mutually exclusive. They are like oil and water.
That is why it must be negotiated and settled so that we can move on as one, or disintegrate so that everybody will answer his own name.

The fact is that current system must cease to exist. ASAP.

Exactly until then SE should keep everything resourceful about their states hidden.
Some of una praising over Anambra joining oil-producing states and clamoring for Enugu joining it, should take a very close look at oil-producing states in Nigeria.
Do una really wish that for SE?

Bliss4Lyfe:

Questions
1) Has NNPC been dismantled?
2) Who pays for the Negative Externalities of oil production to communities in Anambra?
3) Can Anambra now use this wealth to develop its transport network i.e. Road, Waterways, Rail and Air?
4) Can Anambra develop its cities as specialist places for specialised industries respectively?
5) Can Anambra rural area get a make-over of town villages with small scale industries and sales / home agricultural
     model jointly for all rural families?
6) Who controls the oil revenues?
7)who controls the oil executives and politicians?

These are serious areas of contention.

^^^The answer to your questions are not far fetched. Just look at what's happening in other oil producing states for answers. If Anambra is going to be 'oil producing' like Abia and Imo states are presently, then there's not much to get excited about; i suppose it's all down to the production quota given, that will determine what Anambra gets at the end of the day.

On the issue of fast-tracked development: (assuming for instance Anambra gets an extra N300 Billion annually) it would be down to the State Gov't of the day to utilise said funds as prudently and effectively as possible for adequate transformation to be achieved. And this is where the need to elect credible/visionary leaders (in the legislature as well as executive) comes into play.

Our representatives at the centre MUST look into this 'OIL' thing (including the purported ones in Ebonyi and Enugu) and if found in commercial quantities, DEMAND that our people start seeing immediate, fair and equitable benefits for what God has blessed them with.

May Amadioha strike all the Scum that may have known of the availability of vast quantities of oil in the South East , but deliberately decided to ignore it just so those 'okoros' don't prosper . This was the wickedness they had in mind when the carved out my place (Ndoni) and Egbema, and put us in Rivers so Ndigbo don't get what is deservedly theirs.

Honestly I must say, in as much as this is good GREAT news, we have only succeeded in giving the abokis ONE more reason to hold on tighter to the fraud that is one Nigeria.

Oil producing state or not, the question is how is it going to affect the ordinary ppl? My village (abia state) has been on the list 4 long but noting to show 4 it, u guys are celebrating what u are not going to be part of while politicians are busy with thier calculators.

This is a strategic working document from my ministry concerning the projects: Refinery, Int'l Cargo Airport, Ind. Estate, Residential Estate, Hospitality development(including five star hotel). The above projects are all ongoing at the moment as the contractors are working round the clock to deliver before the Refinery takes off soon.

Below is a statement from the MD Orient:

"He also said the company had signed an agreement with Nerida International of Geneva, Switzerland, for the development of a housing estate in Aguleri, Anambra State.

He said the project was expected to be executed on a contractor-finance basis, adding, him, “The housing project will cater primarily for the needs of the staff of the refinery.”
Under the plans, the estate will comprise 54 buildings in its first phase, which also includes a police station, fire station, health centre, school, central business district, recreation/sports club and the estate management office."

^^^Thanks Chino. Now these are the kind of stories i like to read about: private driven initiatives that tap into and exploit our Human and natural resources. Don't forget to take the pics you mentioned, today or after Mass tomorrow (I have a feeling you're Catholic. I'm right?).

The key to gaining government attention is to adopt the Niger delta youth style.vandalize pipeline,steal crude oil and sell it,buy arms and ammuitions,kill soldiers and in the end,an amnesty package is waiting for you with 65k monthly salary.

My brother, I am really beginning to think that we Ndigbo are yet to understand how wicked some Nigerians can be.
Don't be surprised that past presidents knew about all these oil fields in Igboland and simply sat on the files, hoping to tap it from the ocean floors. There was a report on why there is deep gully erosion in Igboland pointing at this possible link between shitfing oil and the erosion.
So, they tap this oil elsewhere, our lands are devastated, we get the least federal allocation and everybody sings kumbaya and One Nigeria!
If we raise a voice, they call us names, or even kill us.

Our leaders are sooooooooooooooo dumb and too clueless.
The level of wickedness I have seen from fellow Nigerians on this site since I come here has opened my eyes in a very big way.

We the youths of Igboland must chase PDP out of our land because they are directly responsible for the continuation of this cheating.
Methinks that this refinery in Anambra is because the governor is APGA. He is not under PDP control.  Notice that the whole thing is almost purely private capital. No federal support. I strongly suspect that if Enugu and Ebonyi were under APGA, they would have started tapping their own oil wealth too.

Nigeria, Nigeria, Nigeria! Na wa o!

Da infamous:

WOW SE brothers have oil in the whole SE states  :
