Dem dey come.

Just wait.

olajizz01:
Keep deceiving yourself,so all the so called billionaires with oil rigs are not Nigerians,unless if Buhari has fulfilled his promise where he said he will stop allocating it to our political billionaires in which I seriously doubt.

As I said, you don't even know what a rig is.

Governor nonetheless.

Criminal.

KingAzubuike:
So you didn't see the second dude in camo right? Illiterate.

Like you.

hotdo9:
...the person speaking doesnt look like an army personnel though...

That was my first thought.

MelaninSkinGirl:
Is it not sad that Nigerians are killing Nigerians? Then Nigerians go abroad and start screaming Racisim. I think foreigners treat Nigerians better than Nigerians. This is a cursed country.

This issue is akin to building collapse in Nigeria.

Always the issue of terrible design, unqualified personnel, low quality inputs and dereliction of duty by the bodies responsible for best practice.

The average Nigerian is manifestly corrupt.

Majority of those responding on this forum would do the same, sadly.

MelaninSkinGirl:
Some of you people are very cruel in your comments towards the Niger Delta. Without that region, there is no GDP in this country as the demons in power have failed to diversify the economy. Do you think the oil companies just appear in the Niger Delta, the governors, councillors, kings all get a share of the monies and refuse to trickle the money down to the common man.

These same oil companies will behave ethically in Europe or America because there are stringent laws there. Nigeria is a corrupt nation and any crimes committed against the state can easily be overlooked if money exchanges hands.

I think Nigerians really don't differentiate between local independent companies and the international majors and how they operate.

I can tell you authoritatively, that well was being managed by an indigenous company.

The video commentary suggests a paucity of logistics was responsible for the accident.

The likes of Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron etc. do not expose their staff or equipment to unnecessary risks, as such, their risk assessment includes everything from personnel to toiletries.

This issue also includes the failing of DPR and all monitoring bodies who failed in their duty to ensure that strict guidelines for rig operations were adhered to.

This is not an issue of irresponsible oil companies but irresponsible local companies.

olajizz01:
Don't let me deceive you,if the Nigeria oil happened to be in the north,a country called Nigeria will have been past tense for decades ago.

I knew Northerners very well because I lived there for yrs,but you guys in the delta are too comfortable,this is not the issue of religion.

[s]Most oil rigs belong to the Northerners,almost all top echelon of NNPC/oil companies were Northerners and you were reduced to mere fishermen on your own soil, non (whether Muslims/Christians) will tolerate such in the South West,and no one will liberates you guys except yourselves.[/s]

Name a single oil rig owned by a northerner.

In fact, I put it to you that you don't even understand what a rig is.

Nonsense.

That's how you lot keep spreading your ignorance and the cycle continues.

onome2013:
Which area of miger delta did this happen?

Offshore Ondo state.

Arguably one of the richest prophets globally with aquisation of private jets, mega parishes across the world and ultra modern buildings home and abroad, yet, he remains one of the most humble clergy who has chosen his resources to impact the less privileged and the needy. He has finally divorced his wife over infidelity and has moved on permanently with his new wife prophetess Stella whom we learnt has been a source of peace and happiness to him.

Long throat.

A case of an independent oil company ill prepared for the task ahead, yet embarking on a project well beyond its capacity.

Cutting corners on a project of this magnitude and the result is there for all to see.

They should not only be fined by the authorising bodies, they should be blacklisted for years to come.

On the flip side, DPR is equally complicit in this whole debacle.

There's no way they weren't aware of available logistics, which led to this fire incident.

The fallout is a huge environmental disaster however, I'm not buying the whole fish contaminated story.

They were in a gas region when the blowout occurred, there would have been no fishing for miles while this was taking place, and it would have been adequately compensated for that period.

It's just another avenue to extract as much as they can from the irresponsible organisations involved.

Exc2000:




the problem here is poverty, greed and stupidity

an Oil producing State shouldn't even have Fishermen as indegine... you cant see a Texas , Oklahoma or Alaska indegine in America or Alberta, Saskatchewan, province indigene or residence or Abudhadi, Dubai and Sharjah emaratis who is still a fisherman in 2020 while his state Oil is being sold for billions of dollars

Rubbish.

Did I just saw ?

NwaforIgbo:
That is not a private shopping mall. That is Ebony State Owned Mall.

Whossai?

chubinwa:
Tribalism and the greediness of the Hausa/Fulani will not allow Dave Umahi to be the president. Dave would have been a blessing to Nigerians come 2023 but the Fulanis and Yorubas will not allow that. not like they have anything to offer, but to come and loot the treasury dry as usual.

Forget that thing.

This period in 2014, fellow Igbos were calling Umahi all manner of names.

NwaforIgbo:
Wait till its completed.
Have u seen their shopping mall? I guess u haven't, its the biggest in West Africa.


When it comes to quality and design. I give it to these three governors.
1. Sanwo Olu
2. Dave Umahi
3. Nyensom Wike
Below is a teaser... Wait till the shopping mall is completed.

There's a marked difference between the government-owned construction and what obviously is a shopping mall sponsored by private business.

Let's not join the 2 together.

The O.R.B (Online Republic of Biafra) doing what it knows how to do best.

Let's be honest, if Lagos state built these native looking buildings the government would receive curses.

Levels differ sha.

Happy Birthday to a patriot and inspiration.

helinues:
The Kogi , Benue that are more closer to River Niger, why are they not making use of it?

To my best of understanding, Nigeria government never shipped anything through this same River Niger, not to talk of other members state.

BTW, hope you people are not considering dredging una swimming pool ( Rivers) just to get access to the sea... The ecological factor is there except if you people want Greta Thunberg to come and lead the protest against it in Nigeria.

SE is not only landlocked but padlocked within Nigeria

Chai, see finishing.

BlueBanana:
I have noticed a very sad development being carried out by some people here and I wish to bring that to your notice

I wish to bring to the notice of all nairalanders that there are some imposters posing as Igbos with the sole intent of dividing us and the South South.. I have noticed the schemes of some monickers who hide under the cloak of being Igbos to sabotage the buoyant relationship that exists between the South East and the South south. These monickers are relentlessly trying to bring disunity between Igbos and South south states especially Rivers state.

I do not know the reason for this their malevolent acts but I just want us all to be wary of their machinations and not fall victim of their tricks.

These monickers include Crixx, Kìnematics, KINEMATÌCZ, RIVERS1stson, Portharcourt1stsòn etc

Say No To Divide And Rule

South East and South South Are One

What of the true Igbos that have been creating threads tospite other tribes, those ones have special privileges abi?

How oyinbo make wine.
