Eko Ile: What a dumb I'd.iiot. Even if na one gallon of oil is in kogi, it is still their oil and they have every right to lay claim on it. The oil is not your oil and that's why you are compensating them. You are compensation them for taking what belongs to them you unintelligent dullard. Are you paying them just for fun and for no reason.

Even if as you claim, 99.9% of the oil is in anambra (which is a lie anyway) why grab kogi`s oil? Is your 99.9% not enough for you greedy, money and blood thirsty clowns?

Ode, what did you sow inside kogi land before grabbing their resources? They can even reject your compensation and tell you to get da fcukkkk out and off their land . You really think you have any say about resources on other peoples land? Are you really re..tarded ?


You clowns can slave and dig up all that oil, no problem, just make sure you send kogi their checks every month or get your greedy hands of their oil.

ndu_chucks: Why are you people spreading lies like this? Sir, when was Anambra toiling and slaving to find oil in the blocks involved? Only Orient Petroleum did any toiling and slaving, Anambra State does not own the oil blocks or the refinery in Anambra.

Do you have an idea where the geophysical location of the reserves are? If you do, kindly share the information, but I'd venture to guess that your statements are based on ignorance. Can you support your statement which implies that the reserves in the oil blocks are located in Anambra, with facts?

If wells are located in Anambra, then the locality may be due some royalties. That's it!! As far as naming Anambra an Oil Producing state without naming Kogi and a few other states the same, the jury is still out on that.

ndu_chucks: Time to educate folks.

I'm of the opinion that if Anambra state is declared "an oil producing state" because of the oil blocks which gave rise to Orient Petroleum's refinery, then Kogi and a few other states should be declared "oil producing states" as well with all the accompanying benefits.'

The first map below shows Orient Petroleums's oil blocks 915 and 916. Now OPL916 is where their refinery is located. The second map shows an old map of Nigeria which shows the location of the refinery (i.e. OPL916)

As we can see from the maps, OPL915 extends to Kogi state.

we can conclusively state that oil block OPL915 covers the following states:Anambra, Kogi, and Enugu while OPL916 covers Anambra, Edo, Delta, Enugu, and Kogi. Declaring Anambra state "Oil Producing" without according the same rights to the aforementioned states is outright cheating by Mr. President and should be vigorously challenged in court.

My Anambra brothers, Nwanne m, see ya in court.

dasparrow: I think it is due to 2 reasons:

1. The girl in question is a big man's daughter. A retired general in the Nigerian army.

2. The gruesomeness of the crime. The manner in which she was killed. The girl was young, driven, business minded and probably too trusting. Those heartless young men just had to waste her life like that. This case along with the Abia r*ape case brings to the forefront how hostile generally speaking Nigerian society is to her women folks. The other day I was reading of ra*pe cases in enugu I believe where young men are ra*ping elderly women and widows. I mean, common! Is Nigerian society crawling with beasts? where do we draw the line?

Africans, including Igbos, have existed before the advent of organized religions. Read about  Igbo spiritual science here: Odinani/Omenala.

Recently, I read Catherine Acholonu-Olumba’s over 500-page book titled, They Lived Before Adam Prehistoric Origins of the Igbo The Never-Been-Ruled, in a culmination of 18 years of research into Igbo origins and the origins of other Kwa peoples. Kwa languages belong to the Niger-Congo family and are spoken by over 20 million people in such places as Nigeria, Ghana, and Benin.

In her book, she traces the “origin of the Igbo people of Nigeria to the earliest days of Homo Erectus Africans.”

Very early on in the book she examines the meaning of  “ndi Igbo.” She states, “Ndi-Igbo simply means, “the Ancients, the First People, the Aboriginals (Ndi Gbo).” The Igbo civilization in Nigeria is one that synthesized over the years from the original Negro hunter-gatherer autochthons (otherwise called Homo Erectus) scattered over various parts of the continent of Africa prior to and beyond 500,000 years ago from where they spread across the globe in the first phases of the ‘Out of Africa’ migrations. In West Africa these hunter gatherers were called Igbo by the earliest migrants who met them in situ on arrival in the Niger-Benue confluence area. In other parts of Africa they went by various names such as Bushmen, San or Shan, Twa and Pygmies. It was these little people, known in Southern Africa as San or Shan, in China as Shan (creators of the Shan Dynasty of God-men) and in Igbo land as Eshi/Nshi or Nwa Nshi, who until recently were still seen in southeastern Nigeria nurturing the cultural life-wire of the Igbo, that had birthed the original Igbo forest culture hundreds of millennia before the North-South migrations that were later to bring about the relatively new Pan-Igbo identity anchored around the Nri hegemony” (Acholonu-Olumba, 2009, p. 2)

Whether one agrees with many of her assertions, it is quite apparent she is well-researched. The book can no doubt spark interesting conversations among those interested in the African origins of humankind. I find this research promising, and the idea of the Igbo being an ancient people, who have influenced a number of other cultures and religions, to be my position.

Seunn11: don't be carried away folks (friends and foes). The link is fraudulent. This story is a fabrication. Click on the link and see for yourself.

gboss4sure: Those kogi niggas wots wrong with themselves.. Well i trust Anambra guys blood go flow tire. Greediness For Oil

tpia@:
instead of chasing yoruba, you should face the actual people who have issues with the oil wells and refinery.

most folks cant even know which state is where, without looking at a map?

Mr. Globe:
so the delta igbos in delta state 'ss' are yorobbers right? you people should consider other foods apart from amala and ewedu, it's affecting your brains!

arewaboy: WHERE ARE U IN 196Os DURING THE CIVIL WAR AND AM SURE HISTORY IS GOING TO REPEAT ITSELF. U BETTER GIVE THEIR OIL WELLS OR ELSE THE NORTH WILL...

CyberG: ibos are SE. That ibo man goes to live in PH or Calabar does not make him SS. Okay?? Why are ibos always claiming SS, which ibo state is in SS? Did any other people, claim SE? Why do ibos go to claim SS?? Long throat is the only reason the stock in trade of greedy ibos!

Charles.nerd:
You know even among the Igbos,there is a tussle for superiority over language.I think the language issue has been a little bit settled with the adoption of Igbo Izugbe which is a widely accepted version of Igbo language,but some arrogant Igbos had to spend money like four years ago to rewrite the Igbo bible since they felt the first and widely used bible was written by a group of Igbo they felt was inferior,hence the need to write a bible to reflect their dialect and superiority over others.

So,the issue of superiority has been there long ago.I don't want to derail this thread,maybe I should open another thread to address this conflict among Igbos,but knowing nairaland and what it is,it can produce unintended consequences.

Charles.nerd:
Malawian,I am Igbo.The part some arrogant Igbos call "core Igbo".

Malawian: sounds igbo but i dont know where that is. Why dont you help us out.
