Your statement is highly contradictory sir. You agreed infrastructural development started before the oil boom and they stated that infrastructural development wasn't implemented due to lack of funds....it is also pertinent to note that MOST of the basic infrastructure was built BEFORE the oil boom and NOT after. Our top universities were built and nutured to world class standards with proceeds from agriculture before neglect set in...most of the basic institutions were also built with such proceeds and the same government has failed to maintain these infrastructure with current proceeds from oil so i fail to understand your argument sir.
Get your facts right sir, when did we gain independence, what year was University of Nigeria and University of ibadan founded, are you still on the fact that it was funded through Agriculture

They don't operate refineries in Nigeria sir plus these oil majors have in recent times been reluctant to pursue new investments in Nigeria due to security concerns
They still have the highest number of shares in the oil industry. A question for you: what do you use in cooking your vegetables ? Kerosene, gas....

in what aspect of the economy are these "investments" because if you are referring to the oil industry, dominant players like shell are actually divesting their assets in Nigeria as a result of the immense corruption that abound in the system.

I want to point it to you that the federal government generates funds from the oil and gas sector, which in the long run is distributed to other states of the federation.

My esteemed Judges, Coordinators,
Fellow co-debaters, informed audience,
all other protocols duly observed. I
remain my humble self, gbemmie09,
second speaker representing Adekunle
Ajasin University Akungba Akoko and
I'm opposing the Topic that says:
IT IS BETTER TO EXTEND OUR FOCUS
AS A NATION TO AGRICULTURAL
SECTOR RATHER THAN MAJOR IN OIL
AND GAS.
The impact of oil and gas sector in
Nigeria, can not be overlooked for the
development of the economy. Therefore,
the history must be given.

Oil and gas operations commenced in
Nigeria effectively in 1956, with the first
commercial find in that year by the then
shell D' Arcy. Before thus time that is,
from November 1938, almost the entire
country was convered by a concession
granted to the company to explore for
petroleum resources. This dominant role
of shell in the Nigeria oil industry
continued for many years until Nigeria's
membership of the Organization of
Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in
1971, after which the country began to
take a firmer control of its oil and gas
resources in line with the practice of the
other members of OPEC. This period
witnessed the emergence of National oil
companies (NOCs) across OPEC
member countries, with the soil
objective of monitoring the state of the
oil-producing countries in the
exploitation of the resources. Whereas
in some OPEC member countries the
NOCs took direct control of production
operations. In Nigeria, the Multinational
oil companies (MNOCs) were allowed to
continue with such operations under
Joint Operating Agreements (JOA)
which clearly specified the respective
stake of the companies and the
Government of Nigeria in the Ventures .
This period also witnessed the arrival on
the scene of other MNOCs such as Gulf
oil and Texaco (chevron Texaco), Elf
petroleum (now Total), Mobil (now
Exxon Mobil) and Agip in addition to
shell, which was already playing a
dominant role in the industry. These
other companies were also operating
under JOAs with NNPC with varying
percentages of stakes in their respective
acreages. To date, the above
companies constitute the major players
in Nigeria's oil Industry with shell
accounting for just a little less than 50%
of Nigeria's total daily production, which
currently stands at about 2.4 million
barrels of oil per day.

The emergence of offshore oil and gas
operations and the granting of deep
water acreages to the oil producing
companies has however witnessed a
shift from JOA regimes to production
sharing contracts (PSCs), with
implications for the operation and
regulation of the oil industry in Nigeria.
This shift is attributable to a number of
factors ranging from the complexity of
operations in the offshore terrain.
Furthermore, some of the impact of the
petroleum sector on the economy would
be highlighted. The question is: Is the
Agricultural sector or oil and gas the
only saviour to Nigeria economy.

The petroleum sectors have contributed
immensely to Revenue generation in the
country. Right from the 1970s to
present, oil has been the major source
of foreign exchange earnings and
government revenue. In spite of decline,
revenue from oil today counts for over
90% of the government revenue.
As stated by Egbuna (1989), the entire
corporate workforce of NNPC has grown
to about 18000 people spanning
through their major areas of activities
nation wide. Although this number is
considered large for a single
cooperation. It is even infirmitesimal
when one imagines the up to one million
Nigerians who are directly or indirectly
earning their living from the activities in
the petroleum sector of the economy
from the upstream to the downstream
sector I.e from exploration to drilling
and refining down to distribution
marking of the product.
Again the oil sector has helped in the
case of foreign investment. There had
been a remarkable increase in the
foreign investment and this is made
possible by the oil wealth. This foreign
investment have however, provided
employment for Nigerians, created
goods and services in the economy and
stimulated the growth of subsidiary
firms.

It has also helped in positive economic
growth and development since the oil
revenue constitute the bulk of the
government income right from 1970s,
noticeable projects and investments
have been carried out successfully with
the revenue. This is evident in the rapid
increase in the economy's wealth of
infrastructural facilities and amenities
within the period of oil boom. Revenue
from the oil in the 1970s formed the
catalytic substantially the height of
development of the Nigeria economy.
Thus, it was during the period that
Nigeria was decorated with the
accolade "THE GIANT OF AFRICA"

Nowadays, the classroom has lost its
sanctity as cases of intimate
harassments and other vices between
teachers and students are increasing
in geometric rates and the benefit of
facelessness and anonymity which
some social networking websites offer
could help to further perpetuate such
vices and even take it to an advanced
level if a teacher-student relationship
on social networks is encouraged.

damoskiy: That is the reason every teacher must know their students.Social network serve as a medium of interaction, in which the teacher can give extra classes online to less participating students.

That can lead to something else
Lead to what? Teachers have policy guiding them, so they know when to draw a line when interacting with their students.
