Lol.

You are now exploring with your mouth. You don't even need exploration know where there is oil and gas. preliminary evidence will always indicate the presence of hydrocarbons. So that exploration largely determines the quantity. Ogun and southwest has nothing, except in the Ijaw occupied fringes of Ondo.

In the south east for instance, it's been known for ages there are large amounts of hydrocarbons but no serious exploration has been done. The little done in Imo revealed over 200trillion cubic ft of natural gas, bigger than What has been found elsewhere in Nigeria put together. I'm sure you also see what goes on during bore hole drillings in Enugu. The huge volume in Anambra widely known.

Being endowed is not propaganda like you lots and the North do.

To me this looks like a cult related incident, maybe he refused to join a cult or he has offended the cult boys. The excuse of stealing a mere phone looks like a cover up. Because even if he did steal a phone, other fellow students would have stepped in from to prevent him from being brutalised and the school security would have been alerted.

delpee:
Are we sure he stole a phone? Could be so and could be a cover up for the punishment meted out for whatever reason.
Even if so, wise and well bred students should have reported him to the authorities.

One id1ot up there was asking why a Prince would steal a phone.
Have you heard of the word KLEPTOMANIA?
Even some rich kids would steal items that can buy, it is just deeper than we can see.
I think of the former Queen of England was like that lol

Businessman Ayiri Emami reveals Ajayi Crowther student beaten to death is a Prince in Uvwie and Warri kingdom

Businessman, Ayiri Emami, has revealed that the 200-level student of the Ajayi Crowther University (ACU) in Oyo State, identified as Alex Timileyin, who was allegedly beaten to death by a group of students for allegedly stealing a mobile phone, is a prince in Uvwie and Warri kingdoms in Delta state.

It was earlier reported that the late Timileyin was beaten to his death in his hostel known as Shepherd Inn on the school premises on Saturday, May 25, 2024. A video posted online showed the deceased rolling on the floor while other students were beating him with sticks. The school authorities have since expelled the indicted students and handed them over to the police.

The incident has sparked widespread condemnation with many calling for the prosecution of the students.

In a video he recorded on Sunday, Ayiri mentioned that the deceased is a Prince in both Uvwie and Warri kingdom and called on the Oyo state governor, Seyi Makinde, to ensure that the matter is not swept under the carpet.

Investigations show that the Late Timileyin was the son of Princess Antonia Emiko, daughter of Olu Erejuwa II (1951-1986), and an aunt of the current Olu of Warri. He was also a first cousin of His Majesty, Ogíamè Atuwatsé III CFR, the Olú of Warri Kingdom.

The anthem is not a british legacy. It is a Nigerian Legacy.

We had a Ministry of Internal Affairs in Lagos then and they were the one that set up the competition. The National planning committe for Independence held series of event and hosted the planning and national anthem was just one of them.

Tafawa Balewa was swron in as prime minister on August 30, 1957. He formed the Federal government on that day and that was possible because of the constitutional changes agreed at London constitutional conference that Nigeria should start ruling themselves.

This is why most people are confused. Nigeria is already technically an Independent nation since 1957, 3 years before the official independence. So it was Balewa government that sanctioned the new national anthem.

Below is a paper on Aug 31 1957 announcing Balewa as Prime Minister and him forming the government.

I enjoyed reading through your informative reply. We'll continue to have need of people who're good custodians of quality history.
I agree with you to a good extent, documented and undocumented verbal stories relate to verification of such practice in East.
Every tribe/sect has it's negative sides, therefore, knowing the behavior of our people on that side to twist/manipulate record, deny facts and project their misdoings on others to a higher degree, it won't be wrong to have historical record, not for bad reasons but for good intentions. Note that I didn't see any images you said to have attached to your first reply (the one before this last one).
But at the end of the day, against all these odds, like I said, at this point, we will have to put our differences behind us throughout anywhere a black community can be seen in the world.

There's a vast quantity of crude oil and gas in the Dahomey Basin of which Ogun State is an integral part of.

Tongeji Island and Ogun Waterside areas of Ogun State have oil-bearing terrains from geological surveys.

Ogun will soon join Lagos State and Ondo State as a full-fledged oil and gas state.


"DAHOMEY BASIN OPL 325"
=>https://lekoil.com/asset/nigeria-dahomey-basin-opl-325/
Preliminary review of the prospects, based on an independent study by Lumina, prepared for LEKOIL, suggests oil in place volumes of up to 5.7 billion barrels with an estimated 2 billion barrels recoverable based on analogues.

The quest of Ogun State to be an oil producing State would soon materialize as the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL), sets to begin oil and gas exploration in the Gateway State.

Stakeholders in the oil industry, including the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Heineken Lokpobiri, Managing Director, SHELL Petroleum Development Company Ltd, Mr. Osagie Okubor; Chief Executive, Nigeria Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, Engr. Gbenga Komolafe and the Group Chief Executive Officer, NNPC Ltd, Mr Mele Kyari, stormed Ogun State on Friday on plans by the Federal Government to start oil exploration in the state.

They were received by Governor Dapo Abiodun and his Deputy, Engr. Noimot Salako-Oyedele.

Hon. Lokpobiri, who spoke at the governor’s office, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta said Ogun State has always been part of the Dahomey Basin with prospect of having huge deposit of hyrdro-carbon.

The Minister said: “We decided that we are going to resume exploration in the different Basins; we decided to come to Ogun State to reassure the people that we have very high potential of discoveries here. Ogun has always been part of the Dahomey Basin and our presence underscore the seriousness the federal government attaches to the exploration activities that we want to carry out in Ogun State.”

Hon. Lokpobiri who added that oil and gas remain the quickest way to Nigeria’s economic prosperity, said his team is in the State in continuation of the campaign for exploration activities.

He said the visit was also to demonstrate the seriousness and commitment of the federal government to shore up its revenue through the oil and gas sector.

“Today we are here to tell the people of the federal government’s commitment to ensuring that we continue our campaign and exploration activities across the country. We are doing this exploration activities in several places across Nigeria and today we are in Ogun after which we will proceed to Sokoto State,” he added

The Group Managing Director, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited,(NNPCL) Mr. Mele kyari, while speaking, said Ogun State is blessed to be in the Dahomey Basin corridor with expected high deposit of oil, assuring that the corporation is coming back in ernest to commence exploration activities, even as he expressed the hope that oil would be found in commercial quantity.

In his remarks, the Executive Director, Nigerians Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, Mr. Gbenga Komolafe, said the coming of the team to Ogun State is to further demonstrate the commitment of the Federal Government to grow the oil reserves and enhanced federation revenue.

“We all understand that Nigeria is very prolific in oil and gas, but then there is still need to grow the reserves through exploration activities given our huge hyrdro-carbon as a bench mark,” he noted.

Komolafe informed that the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) makes provision for the funding of the development of the Frontier Basins, adding that in line with the commitment and the aspirations of the government, the Nigerian Petroleum Regulatory Commission is working in synergy with the NNPCL to leverage on the PIA to aggressively carry out oil exploration in the Dahomey Basin.

[b]“The Dahomey Basin stretches up to Delta, Edo, Ogun and Ondo states. We intend to in the course of this exercise, cover all those states leveraging on the provision of Section 9, Subsection 4 of the PIA.[/b]This is good opportunity for the people of Ogun State and it would be complementary to the reforms and transformation initiatives of the governor. We want to congratulate the governor and the people for being the beneficiaries of this initiative,” Komolafe said.

Responding, Governor Abiodun said Ogun State is part of the OPLs 302,303 306, 307, saying the acreages present unique opportunities for the qualification as a Frontier Exploration State as defined in the PIA section 9.

He observed that the history and studies over the years allow any investment under the frontier exploration basin funding to not only realize the oil and gas potentials, but also acquire data that would aid Bitumen exploration and exploitation in Nigeria.

The country, Abiodun maintained holds the second largest resolves in the world of 42,b tons, adding that a lot of studies have shown the potential of the basins, which brings Ogun State to the fore and projecting it towards becoming a beneficiary to achieve commercial success and derive economic benefits from exploration and production within a minimum time schedule.

“It is noteworthy that this is a region of the country that provides ease of access, low entry and operating costs, a safe and welcoming community and a very active state government support and participation.

“Ogun State therefore presents some unique opportunities towards the realization of the full intentions of the PIA section 9 on frontier exploration as it will contribute to guarantee additional petroleum production of additional petroleum products for the country and afford more supply to potential refineries in the area.

“As a low hanging result, this area also presents the opportunity for Bitumen extraction, thereby reducing import dependency and bringing with its savings in foreign exchange expenditure on this single line item,” governor said.

The Cross River Government, led by Governor Bassey Otu, has demolished a historic monolith structure.

Reports indicate that it has been replaced with a statue of Jesus Christ as a shepherd leading his flocks. Additionally, the flag of Israel has been hung on the staff of the statue.

The monolith, known as the Ikom monoliths, is part of a series of volcanic-stone monoliths from the area of Ikom. The Ejagham people are believed to have engraved the monoliths around 200 CE.

The monolith stands between 0.3 and 1.8 metres (1 and 6 feet) high and is laid out in some 30 circles located around Alok in the Ikom area of Cross River State.

This change has sparked mixed reactions on social media.

Did aliens visit Saudi Arabia thousands of years ago?

It's a question that's been thrown up by a mysterious gigantic rock there that looks like it's been cut in half by a laser beam.

The Al Naslaa rock formation is a rock formation in Tayma oasis in Saudi Arabia.

It has been split down in the middle into two parts, both of which are balanced on their own tiny pedestal for thousands of years.

The cause of the split is unknown.


One geologist says that the split could have been caused by ‘freeze thaw’ weathering, but others say the split is too precise and smooth to have natural causes.

A Nigerian man has taken to social media to share the story of how he was arrested and detained at an airport in Switzerland for coming in with a Presentation laser pointer. Etsetowghan Andrew said he had visited the country for work and was returning home when he was asked to surrender his bagpack to be searched. He said the presentation laser pointer used to deliver slides independently by hand with MSpowerpoint was found in his bagpack.

He said he was told that it is prohibited in Switzerland and thereafter detained in a cell for two hours. He said he was held in the cell until he got a Swiss resident with a verifiable address to guarantee him before he was released.

All you said are valid and I can't agree less.
Every tribe has it's negative sides but when it comes to toxicity, discrimination, bad mouthing, looking down on others, superiority complex and similar, these traits seem natural with Igbos, more like their reflex behaviour.

One thing is, nowadays, I try not to take some things to heart or be too offended. Where possible, I set the record straight and then put our differences behind for the sake of humanity and our black race/continent because against all odds, we just have to start loving and tolerating ourselves. We have to fix our BS as a race.
