Fake, for more than 2 years Lagos is producing nothing

It has been established that Lagos is an oil barren land and shouldn't be seen in the list of oil producing states because she doesn't produce shit anymore.

helinues:
Toh
.Some people's oil production can't even fill a bottle of coke

Lagos is actually the barren land in this regard 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

helinues:
Ondo state, you get issue with their production.

Lagos state, you are disagreeing about their production.

Oya explain to us why all the oil production in South East can't fill a coke bottle

😂 😂 😂
The 1.2ltr of oil in Lagos has dried up. That's why Lagos isn't receiving any oil derivation. Shame on you toads.

Here's the latest picture as of September 2026:
Production status: Aje/OML 113 still isn't back in oil production. The field last actually produced oil via the old Tamara Nanaye FPSO between 2016–2021, and it has been offline since — PetroNor's own Q3 2025 earnings call described OML 113 as a redevelopment project involving some 500 BCF of gas and a significant quantity of valuable liquids in terms of condensate, oil, LPG and propane, with plans for a new FPSO with gas processing capacity, i.e. still in the planning stage, not producing. (Investing.com)
Ownership shift: PetroNor has been consolidating control of the block rather than restarting production itself. In February 2026, PetroNor completed an increase to its Nigeria OML 113 interest by acquiring New Age's (African Global Energy) stake in the license. By Q2 2026, PetroNor's economic and voting interest in OML 113 was set to rise to about 59.6% during the main production period.
Latest strategic move — a possible sale, not a restart: The most recent and telling development: rather than funding the Aje redevelopment itself, PetroNor is now shopping the asset around. As of Q2 2026, several potential acquirers were reviewing data under NDAs as PetroNor explores a farm-down or divestment of its Aje interest. That's a fairly strong signal the company sees this as more valuable to sell than to develop right now.
Important clarification on "buyer": The oil-lifting news you might see attached to PetroNor (e.g., a 964,593-barrel lifting in April 2026, or 540,000 barrels in Q4 2025) is not Aje crude — those liftings are from PetroNor's Congo-Brazzaville asset (PNGF Sud), which is currently its only producing, revenue-generating field. Aje/OML 113 has no recent lifting or sale activity because it isn't producing.
Bottom line: No confirmed crude has been produced or sold from OML 113/Aje since 2021. The field is currently idle, tied up in ownership consolidation and redevelopment planning, and now potentially headed for sale to a new operator rather than an imminent restart.

helinues:
South East is saying Hi

The combination of Abia, Imo and Anambra state is not even up to Lagos state oil production

The tiny oil found offshore of Lagos... Badagry area only produced for 5years and have dried up 😂 😂
Last production: The Aje field on OML 113 produced oil via the Tamara Nanaye FPSO (formerly Front Puffin) from 2016 to 2021. The Tamara Nanaye FPSO successfully produced oil from Aje from 2016 to 2021. By late 2020/early 2021, output had dwindled significantly — since December 2020, oil production from the Aje field continued at only an average of about 1,117 barrels per day, well below capacity, due to extended FPSO maintenance and depressed oil prices at the time. (Hawilti) (Brazilenergyinsight)
Since then, the JV partners decided the old FPSO wasn't fit for long-term plans and moved to decommission/replace it rather than keep producing on it — the current FPSO operator was to stop production in preparation for demobilisation from the field. Ownership also changed hands (Panoro sold out to PetroNor in 2022), and plans shifted toward a gas-focused redevelopment: a new Field Development Plan for the Turonian Aje gas project aims to increase production to 15,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, involving a new FPSO to replace the Tamara Nanaye, with a projected production peak of 26,000 boepd in 2025, mostly gas for power generation and export via the West Africa Gas Pipeline. (Brazilenergyinsight) (Hawilti)
So — as of the most recent detailed data I can find, actual oil production effectively stopped around 2021, and the field has since been in a redevelopment/planning phase rather than active production. I don't have confirmation of a restart in 2025–2026; if that's happened, it wasn't reflected in the search results I could access.
Who buys it: No single fixed buyer is named — when the field first came online, laboratory analysis showed Aje's crude as a high-quality 42° API grade, and several international oil companies and trading houses expressed interest in purchasing it. So the crude was sold on the open market to international trading houses rather than through a long-term dedicated offtake contract that's publicly documented. I don't have specifics on which company (e.g., Vitol, Trafigura, etc.) ultimately lifted and bought the cargoes. (Businessday)

yemmight:
This Business Day represents only one tribe in Nigeria.

Exactly. They represent the Yoruba tribe. You can see how they made Tinubu’s dream come true by placing very close to Donald Trump from the TV. We all know Tinubu can't dare come close to the US because of his criminal past. Yorubas must be very proud of this Business Day newspaper for representing them well 😂 😂

Guestlander:
You will know how dangerous it is when you drive over one of the holes. Whatsboutism is not going to help you then.

Relatives of victims of repentant terrorists agree with you.

Henjor48:
All the criminals and vandals arrested should be paraded publicly on national TV and shot at close range to serve as deterrent to others.

It takes madness to cure madness.

We will not allow these criminal elements to destroy a major infrastructural investment worth about15 Trillions naira.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

If you shoot ordinary manhole vandals who sell it as scrap to feed or fund their druggie lifestyle, what will you to do to politicians who loots millions of taxpayers money to fund their life of luxury? If you forgive politicians and terrorists, you must also forgive petty manhole thieves.

Imagine an Arab or Yoruba muslim arguing with an Israeli that David and Solomon who built the Temple in Jerusalem were both Muslims 😂 😂 😂 😂. That tells you the state of mind of those who accept such distortion of well accepted fact of history.

Muslims claim Moses to be a Muslim and also all the kings of Isreal such as David, Solomon, etc including Jewish prophets as being Muslims e.g Ezekiel, Aaron, Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah etc. When you ask even the most educated ones among them, they just can't seem to see the lies in all of these.
Most of these prophets are Jews while all the kings are Jews. Mohammed is the only Arab among them and coincidentally, is the only one with very strange and uninspiring life.
How did Arabs manage to convince other ethnic groups to accept Islam is still a wonder.

Nigerian Politicians are using pensioners funds to buy votes 😂 😂 😂 😂. A new meme unlocked: 'today is a good day to die'.
E go reach everybody including those blocking their retired comrades today. Tomorrow, they also will be blocked and we shall hear their own lamentation.

Nigeria’s Single-Motherhood Pattern: What the 2021 Data Shows — and Why No South-East State Appears in the Top 12

A 2021 data graphic attributed to StatiSense, based on Nigeria’s Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS), highlights substantial differences among states in the proportion of children aged 0–17 living with their mother alone while their father is still alive. The underlying UNICEF/Nigeria MICS data examines children's living arrangements at state level.

The 12 states with the highest percentages

Rank State Percentage

1 Bayelsa 19.0%
2 Cross River 14.4%
3 Edo 14.3%
4 Ekiti 13.7%
5 Ondo 13.5%
6 Delta 12.8%
7 Osun 11.7%
8 Akwa Ibom 10.5%
9 Oyo 9.9%
10 Kogi 9.7%
11 Rivers 9.4%
12 Ogun 8.5%


The striking feature is the regional concentration: six of the 12 states are in the South-South, five are in the South-West, and one is in the North-Central. No South-East state appears in the top 12.

Why is the South-East absent?

The first point is important: the graphic does not prove that South-Eastern states have no single mothers. It only shows that none of the five South-East states made this particular top-12 ranking.

There are several possible explanations, but they should be treated as hypotheses rather than established causes without additional research.

1. Stronger extended-family involvement

One possible factor is the traditional importance of extended-family structures in many South-Eastern communities. Where a father does not live continuously with the mother and children, grandparents, uncles, aunts and other relatives may provide support or accommodation. Consequently, a child may not necessarily be classified as living with the mother alone.

2. Migration and household arrangements

Economic migration can separate parents and children geographically. The MICS data itself demonstrates that children's living arrangements are affected by parents living elsewhere, rather than simply by whether parents are married or divorced.

3. Marriage and family norms

Differences in marriage patterns, family expectations and social attitudes could also influence the proportion of children living with only their mothers. However, it would be inappropriate to conclude from this table alone that one region has "better" families or that another has more irresponsible fathers.

4. The statistic is narrower than the phrase "single mother" suggests

This is perhaps the most important caveat.

The statistic shown is essentially about children living with their mother alone when the father is alive. That is not identical to measuring all single mothers, unmarried mothers, divorced women, widows or separated women.

For example, a child whose father is alive but lives elsewhere may fall into a particular living-arrangement category, while a child whose father has died represents a different category. UNICEF's MICS tables explicitly distinguish these circumstances.

A particularly interesting regional observation

The data becomes more intriguing when viewed geographically.

South-South:
Bayelsa 19%, Cross River 14.4%, Delta 12.8%, Akwa Ibom 10.5%, Rivers 9.4%

South-West:
Edo 14.3%, Ekiti 13.7%, Ondo 13.5%, Osun 11.7%, Oyo 9.9%, Ogun 8.5%

North-Central:
Kogi 9.7%

South-East:
No state in the top 12.

That concentration raises a legitimate sociological question: what distinguishes family and household structures in the South-East from those in the states appearing at the top of this particular indicator?

But the answer cannot responsibly be reduced to culture alone. Household composition is influenced by migration, employment, marriage patterns, economic circumstances, parental residence and extended-family arrangements, among other factors.

One important warning about interpreting the graphic

The image circulating online should not be interpreted as a ranking of "bad mothers," "irresponsible fathers," or the morality of different regions. It is a child living-arrangement statistic.

Indeed, UNICEF's national MICS results show that children's living arrangements vary considerably by factors such as age, urban/rural residence and household characteristics.

The more interesting story is therefore not simply "which state has the most single mothers?" but why children's living arrangements differ so markedly across Nigeria.

Bottom line: Bayelsa stands out at 19%, considerably above the 12th-ranked Ogun at 8.5%. The absence of all five South-East states from the top 12 is notable, but the available table alone cannot establish why. It provides a strong basis for further investigation—not a definitive verdict on regional family culture.

Since when did Edo state join the South West states?

Emekaonline:
Hahahahah. Wonders shall never end. Yoruba pastors are tribalistic just because you claim they were silent during this administration of Tinubu. So what will you say about Igbo pastors who always abuse Tinubu just because it is not their lamba failure that is there? How many of you fake pastors ever condemned Kanu with all his hateful messages against Yorubas? How many of you so-called non-tribalist pastors ever condemned Kalu for being responsible for the killings of so many souls in the East including Mr Akunyili? Well it is not your fault but for those ignorant fake Christians who still consider you as a true man of God when while you have many poor people in your church, you have the temerity to use their money to buy limousine for your spiritual fathers and yet you are shameless.

🤣 🤣 🤣 Emekaoline but Sikiruoffline. Thunder 🔥 chameleons.
Nnamdi Kanu isn't responsible for the hunger ravaging you. Everyone is now awake to what await them in Nigeria. Concept of Biafra has always being right. It is the alternative to an unjust Nigeria.

Luckysbab:
Some observations though:

1) Cross-River isn't in the Eastern region, as wrongly cited by the long essay.

2) The women seem to be enjoying some material benefits from the support of external donors. In that light, why can't they empower the youths whom they are chasing out of the timber business with another economically rewarding alternative?

Before criticizing, ensure you read and understand what was written. The writer was writing for international audience so they can easily identify the geographical location of field of reportage. He wrote Nigeria's South East not South East region. Cross River state is geographically (NOT GEOPOLITICALLY) located South East of Nigeria. This is pure geography not the useless politics of Nigeria.
Education isn't just the ability to read and write. It goes beyond to include comprehension and articulation before responding to an issue.

The women are doing a fantastic work. The men of the community should fashion out a way to create a sustainable employment opportunities for their youth in such a way that their flora and fauna isn't sacrificed on the later of making money. They can establish forestry for controlled logging over the years without destroying their huge forests.

Richtaiwo:
That would not be a fair approach. Justice loses its meaning when the innocent are made to pay for the excesses of a few. If, for example, Tinubu were to dismiss every Igbo member of his cabinet because of ipob, it would rightly be condemned as collective punishment rather than justice.

Yorubas can invite those Fulani ardos to Yorubaland in Oyo and Osun states where they can become local chiefs. It is a better way to demonstrate how inclusive you are.

Prodigal fathers from the Nigerian army can also join in mourning their unfortunate prodigal son.

mecuries:
One country is battling Boko Haram, Ipob, Killer herdsman, Kidnapping, Cultism.. So much insecurity and it has a GCFR that hasn't even addressed the nation on pro active steps being done to end it

IPOB is not a problem in any way. We have asked for a referendum to determine if the majority of Biafrans prefer to remain in Nigeria and continue to suffer the marginalization that the evil system is dishing to us. Is that a problem? If it is not, why do you now turn around to classify us as a problem? Your army wantonly kill our people while the Nigerian government deny us critical infrastructure yet you see no wrong in it. Like I've always written; if the demand of IPOB is a genuine and right demand, then let us succeed but if not, let us not succeed.
As long as this evil contraption continues in the direction she is headed, she is doomed. It's just commonsense.

madridguy:
Imagine the young man being brainwashed by evil people.

Islam means peace and killing people is satanic.

But Muhammed was never a peaceful man. Can you reconcile the irony between peace and Muhammed? Don't respond out of emotion. Use commonsense for once in your life.

😂 😂 😂 😂 see the way that last man was hyperventilating. That Yoruba pastor was so pained by what the Fulani t3rr0rlst5 did in Oyo forest. I feel his pain because I'm human. However, his own people don't feel Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's pain when he was complaining about the treatment of the Nigerian government against Igbo people. See, that's the difference. In the subconscious of most Yorubas, they believe Igbo people deserve to be treated badly. How they justify such belief is what I don't know. Have Igbos ever invaded and snatched land from any group of people? Nope! Some say we SHOULDN'T AND CAN'T become a president in a country we are part of yet expect us to be patriotic to that country. Tufiakwa, God forbid I ever agree to be a slave in my own land.
If I can't aspire to be a president in a country I'm part of, I'll do whatsoever that's necessary to pull away my own land from such a country. This is the same thing Nnamdi Kanu has been saying for many years. Still, it was a Yoruba judge that sentenced him to life imprisonment because of hate. Today, some people have formed a group they called IPN (Indigenous People of Nigeria) seeking all Indigenous ethnic groups which includes Igbos to band together and chase away Fulanis. Their name is a copycat of the IPOB formed by the same Nnamdi Kanu many of them so hate. I wonder if they think Igbos will listen to them while Mazi Nnamdi Kanu sits in the prison in Sokoto.
Well, we shall see how all these will end.

elasticlala:
Today, I saw the corpses of innocent children, young girls, women, and other people living in some of the poorest human conditions. Their lives were cut short in the most senseless way. It left my heart incredibly heavy.

Two questions have continued to trouble me:

How does a human being pick up a machete or any weapon, deliberately take another person's life, watch them die, and then move on to attack someone else? What happens to a person's conscience for such cruelty to become possible?

How do Nigerian leaders witness tragedies like these and continue campaigning for elections as though nothing has happened? Do they ever stop to remember that those lives are gone forever? Do they reflect on whether they could have done more to protect their citizens? When those with the authority and resources to prevent violence fail to act, it raises profound questions about responsibility, leadership, and the value placed on human life.

Such large scale killings didn't start today in Nigeria. Others have bled like that in even more numbers but we're told to be silent. Many justified the killings and destruction wrought on innocent peaceful communities and were cheered on by Nigerians. The same sword has swung in other directions today. We won't cheered them like others did. We condemn these wanton killings by government back actors because if they're not, the Nigerian government would have stopped them. This particular attack was well publicized and known by everyone yet still happened. Why wasn't it nibbed in the bud?
This is the reality of the Nigerian project. If the same sword isn't stopped or destroyed today, it will swing on others who aren't affected today. Nigeria was designed as such; not for the good of the indigenous people but for the benefit and convenience of those who cobbled her up together.

TopBanter:
What Southern alliance? Are you a toddler? Did the allies not unite to fight Nazi Germany? Were the allies all friends and buddies? No.

They did what they had to for the common good. You guys are so emotional and childish.."Men who are not like men" as Bianca Ojukwu stated.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 you're a very good student of Madam Bianca Ojukwu. However, your deception won't work again. You'll have to live with the decisions you made due to your greed. Since when do you need allies? Are you also becoming an 'attachee' by force? You made fun of others who called for it in 2015 but today, you're calling for a deceptive unity that will benefit you again neglecting the fairness you denied the other southerners when they needed it.

TopBanter:
More pettiness. "Men who are not like men" as Bianca Ojukwu stated.

😂😂😂 I'm laughing at your likes because this gaslighting isn't working. Go and tell your benefactors that their deception isn't working. As a man makes his bed, so he shall sleep on it. The call for southern alliance shouldn't only be when it should benefit you guys. Let that sink into your skull. For now, all man to himself. You guys jailed the innocent man who told you the truth because you hated his identity but have the temerity to come to his people and call for an alliance. To hell with you lots.

TopBanter:
This is the thing with you guys. Always petty. Even the worst enemies align to get mutually beneficial progress. You will never be mature enough to understand that.

You are talking of the past always. How about the concept of doing the right things so we tackle the monster in the room right now so Nigeria can be okay?

We can't host a rich travel and tourism sector, despite Nigeria being a beautiful, culturally and topographically attractive nations.

Those sort of solutions-provision considerations adults should be able to prioritize do not concern you.

Everything is about your allegations of what Tinubu etal did against Jonathan when that is cynical politics played exactly same way world wide. Did GEJ too not put Tinubu through a tribunal trial to intimidate and cower him? All politics.


Kemi Badenoch and co have forced Keir Starmer out. You think Britons will be dwelling on it after Starmer leaves in July? You guys are really disappointing with your pettiness and how you do not realize what matters most in life.

Tell this rubbish you typed to the birds. Be brave enough to stand alone like you claim by not calling for any deceptive 'Southern Alliance.' You don't call for it only when you want to profit from it. That level of deception is so despicable and infact nauseating. Just like you said, Tinubu was playing politics and can do whatsoever to get his way. You're right on that. Even today, he's still doing very terrible things to get his way including paying you to come online with your demonic deception of a 'Southern Alliance' which my likes are rightly debunking. Take your useless alliance to hell. Since saying the truth and standing on fairness isn't part of your politics, you should prepare to receive the same form of politics.
Once again, don't ever talk about southern alliance. Learn to fight your battles alone like you boasted before.

TopBanter:
Guys, use the link below to check out the video and give your opinion. It is not too long.

The guy is literally my ideological twin. He is so right on many levels.

Southern Alliance died 11years ago. Yorubas killed it which has led us to where we are today. You don't ask for alliance only when you're in trouble. Instead, you seek for it when your closest neighbour is in a distress that you know will eventually get to you.
You were warned about today but you thought you were very sophisticated. The only difference is that unlike you, we won't join the enemies to antagonize you. We wish you the best as you fight to defend yourselves and land. We also expect you to wish us the same in our own pursuits.

ElSudani:
Nnamdi Kanu did not apologize for saying 'a good Yoruba man is a dead one" I don't see any difference between his ideology and those of the terrorist kidnappers.

If he did say so, then he made an error of over-generalization. Even if all his experience with the Yorubas he dealt with was terrible, it still won't be valid to make such a statement. I believe he will some day address it. However, his timely exposition of the evil agenda against the various indigenous peoples within Nigeria is something that could have garnered support from members of the affected ethnic groups but instead, they visited hate on him. Nigeria has a session with him where all these things will be sorted out and Nnamdi Kanu and his ethnic group will be free from the encumberances crafted around them.

ElSudani:
We have seen horrible images of people being beheaded, a child with a rock tied around his neck. If it takes Sunday Igboho or anyone to stop this we all should support it.
No ethnic solidarity is enough to make up for the horrors some people have decided to visit on their fellow human beings.
Are there Yoruba people living in any forest anywhere in Nigeria, killing people and terrorizing communities around them?

Very true. Commonsense demands that all sensible people support Igboho in fighting against the terrorist killing people in his reason. The same commonsense demands that every reasonable humans indigenous to the boundary within Nigeria demand the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu because almost all he prophesied about Nigeria has been fulfilled. He with benefit of foresight was justified to have formed the ESN to flush off Fulani militias from the Eastern forests. Since the Nigerian military has decided to be in collusion with Fulani militias against villagers from all other ethnic groups, then the emergence of ethnic militia groups is welcomed.

AMINDA:
A president and C-in-C who capitulates to non-state actors and legalises a militia from his tribe in a multi-ethnic country like Nigeria leaves so much to be desired on what his true intentions are.

Tinubu jailed another secessionist who raised an early warning about the forceful islamization of Nigeria. The same person warned the Nigerian military and police won't be able to protect his people and went ahead to form a regional militia to defend his own region. This is the same person Tinubu jailed. On the other hand, Tinubu empowered an ethnic militia from his own ethnic group and region to defend his own region after the army and police under him have proven to be useless in safe guarding all Nigerians including his own people. Now, is Tinubu justified in jailing the first person who raised the first alarm and sought to defend his own people?
Posterity has already started judging Nigeria and Nigerians.

madridguy:
Allow Igboho to rest bro. Iru Ekun will be established soon and they will be protecting every forest in Yoruba land.

Kanu is a terrorist, so don't compare him with Sunday Igboho.

We will revisit this post in due time. Meanwhile, enjoy your time.

I'm on debating break until further notice

Imagine foreigners invalidating a mother who's lost her son to drugs they sell (he's become a zombie) and them in return saying she's jealous of them. Wouldn't you wanna assault them after that - be honest?

The sooner such people leave SA, the sooner the country will work on social cohesion with sane foreign nationals.

Which foreign nationals do you guys consider sane? From the look of things, all Africans have been declared non-persona grata by you guys. It's going to be long winter for you guys eventually. This is the information age where everything is being recorded and shared. The lives that have been destroyed so far can't just easily be explained away by the sheer xenophobia displayed by your likes. Some South Africans are against what's happening and they've been vocal about it. It is hoped that the situation is managed on time such that the image of South Africa is redeemed among their fellow African countries. You once needed us and we came. You might need us again tomorrow.
Whatever SA cooks for the whole of Africa, we can consume but when the rest of Africa cook for SA, I bet they can't consume it all.
