Anambra State had tried to get the federal government to recognise it as one of the oil-producing states but failed. But President Olusegun Obasanjo supports the state’s initiative in the oil and gas sector. Obasanjo in his keynote address read by Patrick Onwundu at the oil and gas forum in Lagos said Anambra State was one of the hydrocarbon bearing basins in Nigeria. “Exploration efforts in Anambra at the preliminary stage revealed oil potential of about one billion barrels of crude oil. Actually, it is considered to be largely a gas province with estimated reserves of more than 30 trillion cubic feet gas,” the president said.

187/30 trillion cubic feet


as i said soon we will chase you igbo haters away from my land cos i know soon more almajiris will start trooping in

no matter what they say zik is Nigeria first president and his name forever live as long as Nigeria is still one, there is no way a local tribalistic Yoruba champion like AWOLIWO can never not in next 200 yrs be compared to a great zik pls don't insult Nigeria

alj_harem:
You see that is why I have always said majority of you can not have an Intelligent discussion on this forum without resulting to insults or showing angry emotions. Discuss your point and let see see if it makes sense.

YOU !! YOU MAKE SENSE

alj_harem:
Yes if the SE is doing just fine, then why do people from that region migrate to other regions in huge numbers and boast of developing those other regions. You see, that is not the way the human psyche works. Human beings migrate from a region of suffering and poverty to a region of development and easy life and i am sure you know this.

In africa, we have what is called brain drain and I am sure you are aware of that. The reason for this is because africans travel to regions where life is easier and they can enjoy; leaving the poverty fill up africa for a place of great opportunities and education. Same can be said of the SE today.

When you talk of cities that are developed then enugu and owerri does not  come to mind at all. I would rather talk of the first 5 Nigeria states which include the FCT. They are Lagos, Delta, Abuja, Rivers and Sokoto; this is not done in any particular order.

I am also aware you know your basic geography isn't it. Please port harcourt is not a SE or an Igbo town/city. Don't live in denial my friend.

Yes he is a middle belter for Kogi (Igala) i would presume. The middle belt has 2 states that can talk of development which are FCT and Plateau state. Kwara is not doing bad as well.

MR MAN SHUT UP VERY SOON ALL THIS YOUR THIRD CLASS GRADE CITES OF YOURS WHICH EVEN HAVE NO BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE NONE OF THEM YOUR NO GET SHAME VERY SOON NORTH WILL BE A DRY LAND FORGET INVESTORS THEY WILL NEVER INVEST IN THE NORTH AGAIN MUMU YOU PEOPLE ARE NOT DOING SE PEOPLE ANY- THING, OUR CITIES IS COMING UP FASTER THAN YOUR POVERTY STATES IN THE NORTH EVEN AFTER WAR WE STILL PASS YOU DEY COURSE YOU PEOPLE

He was not only Nigerias first president he was Nigerias first indigenous Governor General (A fact which is not well mentioned).
And he is the proprietor of the neo-black african political phylosophy known as Zikism. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zikism)

Dude your presido was named after the guy by his parents and you say he doesn't live in peoples hearts.
All the Military presidents including IBB and Abacha have taken turns to immortalised the guy (Unizik and Zik Airport) even though they are not even Ibo and u say he doesnt live in peoples hearts.

Dude I grew up in Benin-City which used to be part of the old western region, not even a single pathwalk was named after Awo, Awos name is so distant to them.

My guy wake up, the world is not Yorubaland.

leave them let them keep wallowing on delusion olodo people

don't forget Nigeria have 187 trillion cubic feet of gas reserved as a whole, it triple the nation crude oil reserve,

State government organises investors’ forum to show investment opportunities in mineral and other resources begging for exploitation

By Maureen Chigbo

ANAMBRA STATE GOVernment is intensifying its efforts to exploit the mineral resources in the state to improve the well-being of its people. On July 26, it initiated the investors’ forum to get all potential investors, both indigenous and foreign interested in the hydrocarbon resources and investment opportunities in the petroleum and associated industries in the state. It hopes to woo private investors to invest in its proposed independent power production, IPP, and refinery.

Anambra State had tried to get the federal government to recognise it as one of the oil-producing states but failed. But President Olusegun Obasanjo supports the state’s initiative in the oil and gas sector. Obasanjo in his keynote address read by Patrick Onwundu at the oil and gas forum in Lagos said Anambra State was one of the hydrocarbon bearing basins in Nigeria. “Exploration efforts in Anambra at the preliminary stage revealed oil potential of about one billion barrels of crude oil. Actually, it is considered to be largely a gas province with estimated reserves of more than 30 trillion cubic feet gas,” the president said.

Production is yet to start in the Anambra basin because of its “land- locked” position and of course comparatively complex geology when compared to others.

But Daniel Ndefo of Elf Petroleum Ltd, Port Harcourt, told the audience at the forum that it was time to revisit the Anambra basin because there were now more sophisticated exploration tools.

Obasanjo said that the forum was taking place when Nigeria was bracing for the challenges of boosting its oil and gas reserves. “The genuine intention of the Anambra State government and the objectives of this forum are very much appreciated by my administration since this is consistent with government policy to encourage private, local and foreign investors in Nigeria oil and gas industry,” he said.

Governor Chinwoke Mbadinuju said the investors’ forum served as an opportunity to unveil plans for facilitating the exploitation of untapped oil and gas resources in the state. “This is a momentous occasion as we are about to place Anambra State firmly in the emerging business and industrial environment of the 21st century. In this new world, natural gas and electrical power will provide the most economical and environmental friendly energy sources for both industrial and domestic use,” Mbadinuju said.

The investors’ forum was the brainchild of the energy and power committee inaugurated May 19, with Emeka Nwawka as chairman and Uzo Obi Okoli, the special adviser to the governor on energy, power and mineral resources. The committee was charged with identifying the most efficient means of implementing state policies and objectives of expanding its industrial and economic base.

Mbadinuju said the committee after examining all the available data concluded that most of the basic ingredients for rapid industrial and economic growth such as abundant human, agricultural and mineral resources, especially oil and gas were available in the state.

What had been lacking in the past, he said, were adequate supply of energy, electricity, fuel and other infrastructure essential to support the industries. “We are very pleased with the current initiative of the federal government to liberalise the energy sector of the economy and are confident that its policy direction would be maintained in the years and decades to come. We believe that the private sector should be encouraged to lead the industrial and economic development activities. Our role, as government, is to provide a conducive environment and the essential infrastructure.

“We all are aware that oil and gas exploration and exploitation are on the exclusive legislative list of the federal government of Nigeria. We are most encouraged that the president of the federal republic of Nigeria not only supports private initiative in participation in the further development of our country’s energy sector.”

The governor said that “Anambra State experiences energy scarcity on all fronts: Electricity, petrol, gas, diesel, and kerosine.” He said the recent incident in Abudu in Edo State, which disrupted NEPA’s electricity supply to the states east of the Niger brought home the vulnerability of this part of Nigeria, where no single NEPA power station was functional throughout the period of power outage. “All the industries in these states, including Anambra were forced to shut down, incurring losses estimated at hundreds of millions of Naira,” he said.

NEPA is only able to ration some 78 megawatts to Anambra State, which the governor said was less than a quarter of the demand of the zone. “Even if NEPA are able to double their generation efficiency, as is planned, going by their rationing formula, the majority of Anambra State will be in darkness. Independent power production is therefore a crucial part of the integrated industrial development scheme, which is being planned for the state,” he said.

The planned independent power plant, which will run on natural gas will serve all the factories in each of the industrial estates in Anambra State, will be tied to the national electricity grid in Onitsha. The factories, which will include a medium-sized refinery will use oil and gas and other mineral raw materials as well as agricultural produce from Anambra State.

Mbadinuju said “with sufficient power generation and availability, we are confident that more industries will sprout and blossom.”

Dan Obuekwe, managing consultant from U. S. said that this was the first time the governor did something very positive. “We have wondered why he comes to U.S. to woo investors when some Americans don’t know where Anambra is in Africa. But the forum is a very good idea. All he needs to do is to get more practical people who are result-oriented to implement the wonderful idea,” he said.

So what is wrong with going back to Nigeria if you have failed to get a residency permit over the years. No one should be an illegal resident in ANY country, unless where fleeing from prosecution/genuinely seeking asylum from human rights violation.

He still has not returned with all the threats.
Maybe he would have better luck returning in a body bag.
R.I.P.

After chopping the 'white' congo 24/7 for 'papers' huh? I bet the 'landlord' did not like all that 'jungle-feverish' noises coming from the apartment at night.

Mu he he he he he


What rotten luck and a wasted life in Germany of ALL places, in the name of a residency permit.

Nigeria really sucks. . . but to lose a life all for the sake of a residency permit in a foreign country AT ALL COST?

No one should be that desperate. In fact, NOTHING in life is worth losing his or her life over. . except liberty and freedom of expression.

NOT AS DOGGONE GERMAN RESIDENCY PERMIT.

Tufiakwa. . . the height of low self-esteem.

What a tale of inconsistencies. You took care of his sister who 'was of age' as a bed mate or what? While your son was sent to a motherless babies' home to be weaned by 'wet' nurses?  When you were phocking all those women to make babies, were we there to enjoy the 'heavenly feelings' with you and those women?

Only God knows how many children by how many different women.

Typical African/Nigerian/Black man who only knows how to phock but not to raise the children he has fathered all over the globe.
If you cannot take care of the children you brought into the world. . .please do not phock! Simple.
See one of the results. . . ?
Thank God for small mercies.

There are fathers and there are FATHERS I tellya!


Please, over to the "Igbo-Biafran" noise-makers of NL and the world. Time to put ya money where your mouths are and bury one of your own. This is not a Nigerian problem. Thank you.

how are you love

look at his other videos you can see live magic on the streets my friend told me about him he meet this guy in Manchester he saw it live bro, but still cant believe it

PLS THIS GUY HAVE SO MUCH POWER IS UNBELIVABLE

emmke:
why do u igbos like sayin this when every day u keep fleeing the SE to other regions, even if u are constantly killed? I mean most of u guys cant even stay in your supposed paradise and no one is actually keen on visitin the SE. Pls stop being arrogant and admit your region is the worst livable region in nigeria. Even the north that is crisis ridden has more visitors (most of them from the east) than the SE. That speaks volume about your region. We should see less emigration from the SE and then this your claim will hold water. Until then, give everyone a break and show some respect to the people that are accomodating your brothers and sisters.

bull crap

hmmmm

djustice:
Really odd, considering that the threat lies in the Northeast right now. The only explanation is that this is a desperate attempt to acquire some of our airborne military assets in this time of turmoil, in case the Boko Haram debacle leads to Nigeria's eventual break up.

Ihejirika needs to be on the ball to move as many army assets down south as he can, citing insecurity and apparent collaboration from Muslim officers with BH. He also needs to keep a close watch on his Northern Muslim Brigade Commanders. Look what happened to Ironsi. If he allows history to repeat itself, he must be a darn fool.

I get your point but dont forget that obasanjo had already divide the military might, not like back in the days all the military apparatus will be in kaduna barrack he made sure that he move most of our military might to south 82 division enugu military barrack in Lagos etc that's how Hausa lost most of their military power,it will be difficult for them to succeed

give them time

As part of efforts to strengthen security of the nation’s North-West borders, the Nigeria Air Force is to reactivate the forward operation base in Sokoto, which was closed as a result of rationalization in 1992.


The Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Muhammad Dikko Umar   disclosed this in Sokoto when he paid a courtesy visit on the state governor, Alhaji Aliyu Wamakko at Government House.


He stated, “with the situation in the world today, the very serious menace of non-state actors in the world, particularly the Al-Qaeda and other non-state actors, we found it extremely necessary to ensure that our North-West border is secured to allow the citizens of Nigeria enjoy security and peace.”

Air Marshal Umar said   the base in Sokoto which would be a detachment for now, would be built up to become a full base in years to come.

According to him, the reactivation of the Air Force base was because Sokoto is a border state adding that when reactivated, it would provide quick response to emergency and improve internal security in Nigeria.

He stressed the need for Nigeria to strengthen its security base nationwide to check prevailing security challenges.

The Air chief said his vision on assumption of office was “to position the Nigeria Air Force for sustained employment of air power to meet the national defense imperatives as well as to provide swift response capability for emergencies and internal security challenges.”

He added “that position also became apt for us to reactivate forward bases, like this in Sokoto.”

In his remarks, Governor Wamakko said it was a collective duty to provide the needed security for national peace and unity.

I don't see the sense in your argument. The last time I checked, Zik was the most immortalised Nigerian dead or alive, North, South, East or West .
Even your present president is a living immortalisation of Zik.
You want a shrine so that people can come and worship him ?
Last time I checked Ibos were predominantly Christians and are not really into idolatory.
Even Hausas who are predominantly muslim will never create a statue of ahmadu bello or even mark his grave.

But Yorubas are culturally into this sort of activity.
Oduduwa, Sango et al have shrines with people coming to worship and carry our sacrifices.
I think Awo is now getting to that level.

i concur with you, eko lile will never see sense in what you are saying he is blind their mind set is blocked already

thank god for fashola   if not ,
soon u will see zik new resting place by federal govt, very soon remember this

[b]"…Obafemi Awolowo, the first premier of the Western Region, was found guilty of corruption by the Coker Commission in 1962. In 1954, the Western Region Marketing Board had L6.2 million. By May 1962, it had to exist on overdrafts amounting to over L2.5 million. A loan of L6.7 million was made to the National Investment and Properties Co., Ltd. for building projects out of which only L500, 000 was ever re-paid. The Western Region Finance Corporation and the West Nigeria Development Corporation also received loans of millions of pounds, which were never re-paid. The Coker Commission found Awolowo responsible for the all the ills of the Western Region Marketing Board, and Awolowo "without a doubt has failed to adhere to the standards of conduct which are required for persons holding such a post."9…"[/b]

[quote author=revolt link=topic=488326.msg8732445#msg8732445 date=1310887325]im not happy with zik because he didnt play tribal politics even if he did it was quite very minimal. if he had done so we wouldnt be where we are now. but in truth pls stop comparing awolowo to zik theyre are not in the same cadre. one is a states man the other is a regional leader. zik as a result of his mixed his pathology tried to balance his idealogies to suit both north and south. guess he learnt his lesson after awos tribally influenced cross carpet farce in lagos which was too late. however you put it i think the greatest problem nigeria has had is corruption n tribalism. which can be traced back to early doctrines of igbo domination. unfortunately igbos might not have a complete monopoly of intellect but our rich human resource reserves cannot be ignored in nigeria. i guess obj whom i rate a million miles ahead of awo was the first nigerian to overcome his igbophobia and the rest is history. zik irrespective of his shortcomings had a dream for nigeria not igbos must be honored in the nigerian context. only have the right to castigate him cos he didnt play ball. the man ddnt even support biafra n the war lingered on in his silence till he came in for negotiations through his vast influence.a true nationalist indeed.

that's why i respect OBJ he got more sense than his own Yoruba olodos follow follow may be his half igbo as his kinsmen claimed cos he walked with every Nigerians they want him to fill his cabinets with SW people cos their papa owns nigeria you see why their state of living still very low in Nigeria cos they don't have mind of their own, always like a child looking for direction any sharp guy can use that opportunity  and manipulate them easily, now i can understand their mentality more and better. YOU ARE VERY OBSERVANT
