We have long dealt with this topic on Nairaland. Igbo speaking people from Imo, Abia, Rivers and Delta States has 80% of Nigerian onshore oil but the bigger question is the ratio of onshore to offshore. Akwa Ibom for example has no oil onshore but has an offshore that already cancels our entire onshore. Another big question is how many are capped and how many are active in contributing to oil export. Igbos are not and have never been oil dependent people. It is only in recent years that we have witnessed elements of oil community disturbances but still very minimal. One of the major weapons used to divide Igbos is the availability of oil which resulted in splitting of communities between Southeast and South-South. These include Ndoki divided into Rivers and Abia, Asa divided into Rivers and Abia, Ngor divided into Rivers and Imo, Egbema divided into Rivers and Imo among others. 8 Likes |

Naija people too dey exaggerate. Even Abuja or Lagos cannot be like Dubai not to talk of Aba. They should talk about being like Lagos 1st. They even claimed Aba has 5 to 10million people. Abia as a State is probably around 4 to 5million people with Aba being slightly above a million. 1 Like |

| Politics › Shell’s $3.5 Billion Assa Gas Plant In Imo Set To Kick-off by abagoro(op): 10:09am On Jul 17, 2015 |
Construction work is said to have begun at the $3.6 billion Shell Petroleum Development Company’s (SPDC’s) major Gas plant project at Assa North – Ohaji South in Imo State. Meanwhile, Shell Petroleum, the owner of the multi-billion dollar gas plant, and Bortir International Company Limited, a subsidiary at the Dangote group of companies have opened a partnership deal on utilization of gas from the project. On Tuesday both companies led by Walter Weilenger, project manager, Shell and Ahmed S. Yakassai of the Dangote group, inspected the project site at Ohaji Local Government Area of the state. BusinessDay checks indicate that the major gas plant is sited on 200 hectares of land provided by Imo State, which was according to a request in June 2012 by the Managing Director of Shell, Mutiu Sunmonu. Sunmonu had appealed to Governor Rochas Okorocha for the state to provide the land as part of its collaboration for the project, expected to be commissioned in 2018, beginning with the phase one. On its part, the Imo State Government has assured Shell Petroleum Development Company and Borkir International Company Limited (a subsidiary at Dangote Group), of its guarantee of security and cooperation to ensure the project took-off and functioned effectively. “As you come to Imo, we would like to partner with you. We have set up a committee to liaise with Shell on the development of Assa Gas Plant. Imo Government is solidly behind you,” Okorocha said. In his speech, Walter Weilenger, project manager of the Assa North-Ohaji South Gas Plant project, Shell Petroleum Development Company Limited, thanked the state government for a warm welcome; and assured that the project would bring a lot of benefits to the people of Imo State. In June 2012, Sunmonu, Shell MD had said the gas plant would supply domestic gas to power energy plants across the country as well as generate massive job opportunities for Nigerians, adding that the project which would be executed in two phases will be completed in 2018. While soliciting the collaboration of the state government in handling of the project, he urged the government to play its part by providing 200 hectares of land for the project, including an enabling environment for the expatriates and workers to ensure a healthy collaboration between SPDC and the host communities. Sunmonu then promised that his company would always live up to expectation in the area of its Corporate Social responsibility (CSR) in the course of executing the project. http://businessdayonline.com/2015/07/shells-3-5-billion-assa-gas-plant-in-imo-set-to-kick-off/#.VajFsTNw3EI 2 Likes |

| Politics › JAMB Sets 180 Cut-off Point For Varsities, 150 For Polys, Coes by abagoro(op): 10:53pm On Jul 15, 2015 |
¨ The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Tuesday pegged the minimum entry requirement for admissions into Nigerian universities for the 2015/16 academic year at 180. The entry requirements for polytechnics and Colleges of Education, including national diploma awarding institutions in admitting undergraduate students was put at a minimum of 150 points. The decision for the cut-off point was arrived at in Abuja after the sixth Combined Policy Meeting on Admissions to Degree, Nigeria Certificate in Education, National Diploma and National Innovation Diploma-awarding institutions. Stakeholders at the meeting also agreed on the admission quota for the 2015/16 academic year, approving a 60-40 ratio for science and arts related programmes in all Universities, while a ratio of 70-30 goes for technology and non-technology related courses in the Polytechnics. Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of JAMB,Dibu Ojerinde cautioned tertiary institutions against abusing admissions regularization process, stressing that, “with effect from the current academic session,the Board would sanction defaulters who seek for regularisation of admissions.” In a power-point presentation at the meeting, Ojerinde observed that a total of 1,436,867 candidates, representing 97.38 percent applied for degree awarding institutions as first choice preference. While candidates course preference for National Certificate in Education (NCE) stood at 18,341,representing 1.24 per cent. The 2015 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination(UTME) cumulative performance statistics of candidates also released by JAMB indicated that 455,639 candidates scored 200 and above. Those who scored 190-199 stood at 207,720 while those below 160 were 122,091 candidates. For the 2015 admission year, University of Ilorin topped the first choice university for applicants with 7.12 per cent, this was closely followed by University of Benin coming second with 4.83 per cent. Federal Polytechnic, Offa topped most preferred polytechnic with 0.15 per cent, followed by Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic, Ikot- Osurua with 0.11 per cent. Imo State had the highest candidates with a total of 104, 382. 332, 700 applicants applied for social sciences, 292,171 for law, while 27,915 applied for agriculture. 931,559 candidates who sat for 2015 met the cut off mark announced for admission into various universities across the country. Further, about 1.4 million candidates scaled through the 150 cut off mark for admission into various colleges of education, polytechnics, and Innovation Diploma-awarding institutions in the country, as approved by JAMB. Also, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, MacJohn Nwaobiala, lauded the Board for Computer-Based Test innovation, noting that the federal government would continue to support the examination agency to sustain the gains achieved so far. According to Nwaobiala, all tertiary institutions must adhere strictly to the admission guidelines and quota already approved for the system to progress without hitches. |

http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/spdc-to-build-3-5-billion-gas-plant-in-imo/118755/ Imo State government yesterday assured Shell Petroleum Development Company Limited and Borkir International Company Limited (subsidiary of Dangote Group) of ade quate security to ensure that Assa North-Ohaji South Gas plant project functions effectively. Governor Rochas Okorocha stated this when the two compa nies led by Shell project manager, Mr. Walter Weilenger, and Mr. Ahmed Yakassai of Dangote Group, paid him a courtesy visit at Government House, Owerri, shortly after the companies inspected site of the project. The governor, who described gas as key to the nation’s development, said his administration would partner with the two companies to ensure the project is realised; pointing out that Imo State was one of the states that has the best gas in the country. He said if the project finally takes off, it would attract development in the area as well as create employment opportunities to the teeming unemployed youths in the state; adding that his administration focuses more atten tion on job creation. Okorocha appealed to the host communities to give maximum cooperation to the two companies to ensure that Assa North-Ohaji South gas plant project kicks off. He also urged the two companies to engage the youths in the proj ect. The governor assured them that the state government would provide adequate security for them to operate and made them to understand that the present administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari has interest in fast- tracking development in the country. Earlier in his speech, Shell Project Manager, Mr. Weilenger, Assa North-Ohaji South Gas Plant Project Shell Petroleum Development Company Limited, thanked the state governor for a warm welcome and assured him that the project would bring a lot of benefits to the people of the state. http://nationalmirroronline.net/new/assa-gas-plant-imo-govt-assures-stakeholders-of-maximum-security/
