gwafaeziokwu: I don't trust these guys, they are throwing carrots on us because of our gas. Why now?
Any way, better late than never. If not for anything, let's hear word from ndi 'our Oyel' crew.
Guy na only 11 oil wells and you don't even now its production volume; Some LGA in Rivers and Delta have over 300 oil wells ooo. Be calming down, if any SE state will talk about oil, it will be Imo
We're not talking about red oil, we're talking about crude oil and gas. Agbami 127 & 128 may not meet the 13% accreditation threshold, to be a producing states. If Lagos has oil Wells as you implied, they would have been added. You don't know more than those in the know.
Lagos State government forming Ibile Oil and gas company doesn't make Lagos an oil producing state.
Ondo has oil, but Imo state has displaced it with the recent mega 43 oil Wells recovered from Rivers, added to the ones they had before recovery, and are in court to recovery the disputed 3 oil Wells which Rivers State government appealed

ANSMEDIA: [b]Anambra Set To Become Oil Producing State As ASATU Hails Governor Obiano On Airport Project
By Ejike Abana (ABS Government House Correspondent)
Leaders of Anambra State Association of Town Unions, ASATU, Women Wing have commended the government of the state for thinking and working the vision of a befitting airport for the state.
The women leaders gave the commendation when they joined Governor Willie Obiano for his weekly inspection visit to the airport.
Installation of gadgets for the control tower as well as the terminal building is almost ready, while Aviation lights installation for the runway is almost complete.
The fire house building is already standing, as installation of equipments have commenced, among other improvements.
Speaking at Aguleri shortly after the airport inspection visit, Governor Obiano who announced that the federal government has given eleven oil Wells to Anambra State, stressed that by next month, Anambra will be Named an oil producing state.
The governor continued that his administration has being pursuing the status for a very long time and appreciated God for making it a reality under his watch.
Among those who accompanied the Governor on the inspection were the member representing Anambra East and West Federal Constituency, Chief Chinedu Obidigwe, Chief of Staff Staff to the governor, Mr Primus Odili, Commissioner for Works, Engineer Marcel Ifejiofor, among others[/b].
Where are these 11 oil wells located? - Ogbaru or Anambra East/West?. Whao, If these wells are producing optimally, Anambra can be producing up to 60,000bpd. On the other hand, it can be as low as 5,000bpd
ajuksobi: ONELGA: THE SLEEPING GIANT BY: Fidelis O. Ajukura ajukurafidelisobi@gmail.com 07031523329 12-08-2021 Onelga is one of the local government areas in Rivers State. The name 'Onelga' is derived from the three ethnic groups that make up the local government area namely; Ogba, Egbema and Ndoni. Onelga, prior to its creation in 1991 by the General Ibrahim Babangida administration was under Ahoada local government area of the state. Onelga covers a total land mass of 626mi(1,621km²), it is located at the extreme North West of Rivers State. Onelga on its North East fringes share common boundary with Oguta and Ohaji/ Egbema local government area of Imo State. On the West flank, it is bounded by Sagbama/Yenagoa local government areas of Bayelsa State and Ndokwa East local government area of Delta State. On the South, it shares a common frontier with Ahoada East and Emohua local government areas of Rivers State. Onelga is made up of around 96 communities and 17 political wards. It has a total of 6 geopolitical and administrative units and they are as follows; Omoku,,Igburu, Egi, Usomini, Egbema and Ndoni. The three ethnic groups that make up Onelga despite having lived close to each other for ages do not share common ancestry or history. Ogbas (and Ekpeye) trace their history to ancient Bini, Egbemas trace theirs to present day Imo State where their brothers reside and Ndonis to Ukwani in Delta State. The headquarter of Onelga is Omoku. The first person to serve as its chairman is Chief Ibe Eresia Eke. Onelga is blessed with fresh water bodies (rivers) that crisscross its length and breadth. Some of these rivers are; Orashi, Sombrero, Niger, Onita, Utu - Egwe, Nkisa etc. Onelga occupies a strategic position in Niger Delta in the sense that 1. It shares close link with some viable local government areas within and outside the State. 2. It is the highest producer of crude oil and natural gas in the country. From time immemorial, the areas that make up the present day Onelga have been in the front line of Nigeria's crude oil production. Oil exploration ( which is the process of sourcing and and drilling of discovered reservoir of oil for commercial purposes) in Ogba, Egbema,Ndoni local government area began in Eborcha in the early 60's. During this period, major oil companies like; Shell B.P., Nigeria Agip Oil Company (NAOC) and Total Elf Nigeria Limited got the opportunity to operate in the area. The activities of these companies in recent times account for the daily production of several barrels of crude oil. NAOC and TotalElf Nigeria Limited which operate mainly in Ogba land account for the daily production quota of 100,000 and 133,000 barrels per day. This large quantity of crude oil places the entire local government area as the oil production zone with the highest crude oil deposit in Nigeria. This earned it the name "the land of black gold".
Oil exploration and exploitation, no doubt has brought development to the area but, this development is not in consonance with what is taken away or removed from the area. Ben - Fred Ohia and Henry Onyedibia in their book titled " Ogba Nation " captures it thus: Ogba nation is the location of the first and second highest oil producing communities in the country. It is also the second place where oil was struck in 1958 by Shell Petroleum after the initial discovery in Oloibiri in 1956. The highest is Omoku which has over 79 oil wells and over 60 gas wells. The next is Obagi field which is mined by Totalfinaelf with over 64 oil wells and above 53 gas wells. But regrettably, Ogba has no place in the history of Nigeria. Governments come and go without traces of their presence for what is taken out of the area. The result is environmental degradation, poverty and pollution which affects the air, water and land. This has left the people in a hopeless situation.
Onelga is host to two major gas recircling plants at Obiafu/Obrikom/Omoku and Obite Gas Plant as well as Egbema - Eborcha oil center, Idu Mini Gas Plant with a total average production capacity of 49% of gas to the Nigerian economy. Onelga is the largest on-shore oil and gas producing local government area in Rivers State and Nigeria on unit basis. Similarly, the local government is host to three (3) of the seven Nigerian Independent Power Plants (NIPP) which are; Gbarain-Ubie, Omoku and Egbema Power Plants. Also, Onelga has four (4) oil mining leases namely; the OML58(Total), OML 60 (SPDC), OML 61 (NAOC) and OML 20 (NPDC). According to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) quarterly and annual information bulletin, Onelga has a total of 13 oil fields and 507 oil wells. Regardless of the activities of vandals and other security challenges experienced recently in the area, Onelga still contributes about half of the crude oil and gas that sustains the Nigerian economy. Onelga, despite being blessed with enormous natural resources has not been able to translate the blessing into concrete terms by improving the fortune or wellbeing of the people of the area. Public or critical infrastructure are still a far cry from home: many communities in the area are without good roads, pipe born water etc. Inland water ways do not exist even though they would have helped to connect one community to another with ease. In surprise, many observers have wondered why the area, regardless of its gargantuan contribution to the wealth of the country has remained in such a poor and deplorable condition. The answer to this puzzle is in two fold 1. The selfish attitude of the ruling elite in the area and; 2. Government's insincerity in dealing with the people. Many members of the elite class within the area are propelled by selfishness. Rather than pursuing agendas that will promote growth and development of the area, they are concerned in furthering their selfish interests - acquiring properties for themselves and members of their immediate families. Instead of leaving behind lasting legacies, they prefer acquiring gigantic and outsized properties that will fall into ruin as soon as they depart this corporeal world. Often times, in their unappeasable greed, they plunge their communities into unnecessary quarrels and disagreement with their divisive politics. These crop of leaders have nothing to offer the people except their selfish agendas: they cannot commit miniscule amounts of energy in engagements that will engender development in their communities. They are marked by contemptible timidity; their strength and bravery is at home - outside, they are weaklings. Niger Delta which Onelga is a critical stakeholder, based on its contribution has a variety of pressure groups such as; Pan Niger Delta Forum ( PANDEF), Niger Delta Consultative Assembly ( NIDCA), Traditional Rulers of Oil and Minerals Communities ( TROPCOM), Host Communities (HOSTCOM) etc. Regrettably, in all of these groups, Onelga's voice is missing - it has become a sleeping giant of the region. Its elites do not have the courage to step out of their cocoon in the name of interfacing with others with the view of attracting genuine development to their people. Of the three ethnic groups that constitute the local government area, Ogba is the most divided. Rather than come together to forge a common front, the elites or leaders, because of their selfish agendas engage in divisive and loathsome exchanges. For instance, an Egi, Igburu, Usomini and Omoku man looks at each other with suspicion and mistrust. This act of segregation which was nonexistent prior to the discovery of oil has fragmented Ogbaland and indeed the entire Onelga. As it is usually said, "a house divided against itself can never stand". The division foisted on the good people of Onelga by their rapacious leaders has rendered the area inconsequential - they speak with discordant tones and voices. It was for this reason that the area was completely ignored when the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo visited the Niger Delta in 2020. The multinational oil and gas companies operating in the area having noticed this weakness, have continued to exploit it to the detriment of the people. Like animals, when the companies releases "feeds", the leaders such as; traditional rulers, youth executives, community development committee members, politicians etc begin to go for each others jugular or begin to contrive avaricious schemes that will help to shortchange the people. This attitude has remained the bane of Onelga's predicament. Only a handful of leaders in the area have demonstrated remarkable sincerity and doggedness in the fight to liberate their people from the shackles of oppression. Late professor Claude Ake features prominently in this regard. He took the grievances of his people to the world stage which attracted the attention of the home countries of the multinational oil and gas companies operating in the area. This move produced a lot of positive results that the people of Onelga are enjoying till today. Prominent among his achievements include the " tariff free electricity " that he secured for the people of the area. Ake has long ago passed away but his legacies are still standing strong - the people will continue to honour and celebrate him as their hero. Unlike Ake, majority of the leaders in Onelga today are too materialistic in their thoughts and actions. This attitude has not only brought pain and misery to the people, it has relegated them to sordid obscurity. For instance, the traditional ruler of Ogbaland, Oba Chukwumela Nnam Obi 11 who passed away over a month ago will soon be buried but, surprisingly, many people within the state and the country in general are unaware that a "mighty tree" has fallen. If Oba Chukwumela who until his demise was one of the longest serving traditional rulers in the country could not be remembered, he should at least be remembered and honoured by the Nigerian State because of the contribution of his kingdom or territory - Ogbaland (in Onelga) by giving him a national burial. Although, the governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has promised to give the late king a state burial but such gesture, to my mind is based mainly on the relationship that existed between him and the late king. 2. Government's insincerity in dealing with the people has contributed immensely to their frustration. It is without doubt that Onelga, despite its giant contribution to the nation's wealth is treated with less fervour by the government especially when compared with other oil producing communities. Eleme Petrochemical Industry now operated by Indorama receives 100% of its gas feed tuck from gas produced by Nigeria Agip Oil Company ( NAOC) in Onelga but no benefit goes to the local government area whereas Eleme, the host community of the company enjoys 10% equity shares of its benefit. Onelga produces over 50% of gas tuck to the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas ( NLNG) in Bonny yet it has not benefited from the Federal government apart from the Federal College of Education (Technical ), Omoku that is considered as one of the poorest Colleges of Education in Nigeria in terms of infrastructural projects. The government has not shown sufficient sincerity and commitment to the way it treats the local government area. Onelga can't be condemned to "giving" alone, it deserves also to receive bountifully from the government. The government must realize that the time has come for it to transform the area into a tourist center. In fact, to appreciate the contribution of Onelga towards the wealth and progress of this country, it has to be transmuted from a rural area status to a mega city status. Beside this, it has to be the hub of research and studies in oil and gas. In other words, government must build world class institutions of learning in Onelga where the knowledge to explore and exploit oil and gas etc will be acquired. In case one may begin to wonder why the government has to undertake this monumental responsibility? The answer is simple - government, like individuals is believed to be a moral agent, it is bestowed with the ability to distinguish between good and bad. For any government to gain acceptability and credence, it must be able to work with the right values e.g., giving every man, people or group their due. It is in this line of thinking that I implore the government ( both State and Federal) to intervene in the pitiable situation of Onelga: it cannot afford to be in obscurity and neglect when it is indeed the treasure base of the nation. Long Live Onelga! Long Live Rivers State!! Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!!! 12-08-2021
A lot of lies, but I will only address one. Gbarain-Ubie and Egbema Power Plants are not in ONELGA
udele1: Nice. Add that to the economic loss of the SE. Tell me why the owner of the transport company won't move his business out of the SE?
Igbo's in other regions did business today and generated revenue for the government of those states.
SE lost both revenue, property and lives. All this to keep a business in UK booming.
Ndigbo, sorry.
Forget this your propaganda. At the end of the month FG will give all states STATUTORY money including SE states to run their economies, so no business will be affected. Ever wondered why Borno state inspite of Boko Haram is receiving the highest revenue from FG?. Imo state wants to partake in receiving that kinda of insecurity money from FG. what is good for the goose, is also good for the gander lol
DanielAlhassan: Please I need your help according to doctors report she 3 month pregnant and i calculated the period we had sex it was 2 month ago Am confused if am responsible for the pregnancy
She has been swearing that for the pass 6 years now she has not had sex with anybody until 2 month ago which she had sex with me
Don't know what to do or believe I need your advice
Ask her to tell you her last menstrual period date and cycle days. Then, we can be definite if the foetus/cyesis is yours.
But, if you ask me, I would say the baby is at least 75% yours, but give us the last period date, cycle length and conjugal date
Finally, I will be more worried about STI/HIV/Hepatitis. How could you expose yourself for 10minutes enjoyment. Go for RVS and other STI to clear yourself and wear Condom next time if you are not ready
Masanto: Something is fishy, Hushpuppi paid directly to the seller but the Clothes were delivered to your office? Why cant the seller waybill directly to him if there is no tie between you and Hush. Abi him de run Escrew service?
Until we limit cash payment to N10K maximum in all transactions, corruption and low revenue profile will be rife in our society. Every merchant should have a POS
nevplus: Asaba airport is very close to part of onitsha after the bridge head, while Anambra airport is closer to some part of onisha,like GRA etc.The main issue of Asaba airport, is the traffic at the bridge that connects Asaba to onitsha.
But Anambra as a state is not made of onitsha alone, so the Anambra airport is closer to other part of Anambra, like Awka,the capital,Aguleri etc and even part of Enugu.
Oba,the initial thought location would have made more sense both in traffic and proximity to other vital part, that is in-between onitsha, Awka and nnewi.
You are right to some extent.
But if I may ask, the so-called Asaba airport, where is the location? What is the name of the exact town that hosts the airport in Delta state? Secondly, approximately how long will it take to reach the Niger bridgehead from the so-called Asaba airport?
Please let's get things right in order not to mislead others.
On completion of 2nd Niger Bridge and its connecting Roads, There will be no major PART of Anambra that Asaba Airport will be closer to when compared to Anambra Airport. QED
anungangampu: Onitsha 2nd head bridge might be completed next year or 2023, you really have to factor that in.
It will surely become a matter of choice, convenience and flight availability. Upon 2nd Nigeria bridge completion, from Owerri Interchange Obosi to Asaba Airport will be 11 + 17.5km = 28.5km and from same spot to Anambra Airport via the Greenfield Obosi-Nteje Road will be 17.5 + 5km = 22.5km. In fact, Anambra Airport will be closer for Nnewi Passengers as they will join the a aforementioned new road from Nnobi-Nkpor Road at about Umuoji axis, and then voom to Nteje, then to the Airport
Secondly, do not discountenance the fact that you will be tolled for using Niger Bridge to access Asaba Airport
Philipxxxx0: where did you get this information from, if you are waiting for FG to do this work, my brother you are dreaming, and our state dont have the money to do all this projects
According to Ajani, tolling is part of the contract agreement. He said: “The entire project is divided into three phases, the first phase, which is in process, is about 11 kilometres.
“The second phase is the access road at the Delta end of the bridge; the other is from Obosi up to Enugu- Onitsha Expressway. “It is just like a bypass of Onitsha when completed, one will not have any business entering Onitsha. The other contracts are about to be awarded.
“It has been procured and just to mobilise the contractor, Julius Berger is on site, the other one will be the other side, and the bridge is at 55 per cent completion stage.”
afube: seconded ! it makes better sense for people in Nnewi south like amichi,osumenyi,azigbo to go through awka etiti or nnewi/nnobi road and bypass onitsha altogether. The road that ought to be dualized is nkpor/nnobi road with a spur through abatete ( and not just cos of the airport alone), it will be way cheaper to implement.
Bros, nobody is attempting to dualize Obosi-Nkpor Road. There will be a GREENFIELD Road from JB Owerri Interchange at Obosi and it will pass somewhere around Obosi-Oba-Ojoto cutting through Nkpor-Nnobi Road somewhere around Umuoji or thereabout and will cut through Awka-Onitsha old Road and will burst out on Enugu-Onitsha Express Road at Nteje/Awkuzu, not too far from Airport Junction.
JohnBullMySon: I confirmed from someone and I can assure you that the freeway through to the Second Nigeria does not have it's end point at Oba. It will go all the way to Nteje/Awkuzu axis where it will join the existing expressway. It's a Federal government job.
Good. At the intersections of this planned road with Nkpor/Nnobi/Ekwulobia Road and Awka/Onitsha old Road, Anambra State government should make sure that the contractor(probably RCC) do not repeat the mistake of Julius Berger of doing single lane over-pass at Atani Road, by initiating plans to dualize these roads, that way RCC will do a double lane over-pass
Roads to dualize in Anambra: Amawbia-Agulu-Ekwuloba-Uga Roads (with a flyover at Ekwulobia) Nkpor-Nnobi-Ekwulobia (with a flyover at Nnobi) Nnobi-Nnewi Roads ( This will be the route of least house demolition to open up Nnewi to dual carriage way) Onitsha-Aguleri Road
ChimaAdeoye: Most of you assume every Igbo is a fan of Jonathan. Well, I'm not. I hate weaklings clinging to power. Likewise, I have nothing against Buhari. I commend Buhari for working on the bridge but the hard fact is that the bridge is funded by Jersey bank directly out of the Abacha loot. If not it would have since been like the Enugu-Onitsha expressway project he is building. Again I respect Buhari's decision only to look out for his own Fulani people. Which is okay since that is Nigeria for you.
All I'm saying is that there is totally no plan anywhere to extend the 2nd Niger bridge road to Enugu-Onitsha expressway. So why are you deliberately embarking on disinformation? If i didn't respect your moniker I would have just ignored it as one of those Fulani propagandists in nairaland who would blatantly post Kano or PH airport terminal building and claim it's the Enugu airport terminal completed and furnished by Buhari!
That is why I said that I was still trying to get to the bottom of your game plan by deliberately spreading false information. No credible source has ever cited that the road would reach Enugu-Onitsha expressway.
According to Ajani, tolling is part of the contract agreement. He said: “The entire project is divided into three phases, the first phase, which is in process, is about 11 kilometres.
“The second phase is the access road at the Delta end of the bridge; the other is from Obosi up to Enugu- Onitsha Expressway. “It is just like a bypass of Onitsha when completed, one will not have any business entering Onitsha. The other contracts are about to be awarded.
“It has been procured and just to mobilise the contractor, Julius Berger is on site, the other one will be the other side, and the bridge is at 55 per cent completion stage.”
ScotMisile: Rivers state has no case and that's gonna make it 60 wells
Do you mean that 43 oil wells are already in the bag( 22 from Mgbede and 21 from Akri)?, So these 17 oil wells in contention will be additional that will make 60 oil wells altogether?
Ludlum: My source close to me told me that Nmandi Kanu has finally agreed to a restructure Nigeria. The south east will be made up of six states with a regional governor.
What a good news
I know that the 6th state will be ENOA state as canvassed during the last constitution review at Owerri and PH. It will comprise of Etche, Omuma, Oyigbo LGAs of Rivers State AND Ukwa East , Ukwa West LGAs of Abia State, Ohaobu in Ukanafun LGA of Akwa Ibom Statee with its capital at Obehie. Owerri is seriously pushing to become the new REGIONAL capital of South East
atorioke: Ehn. Delta, Rivers, Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom. Who Imo replace? My small village for Delta even get 16 oil wells. One village oh.
It is not about number of oil wells, it is about quantity of production per well. A well can produce 2.2 barrels per day and another well can produce 5000 barrels per day. Though, I seriously doubt that Imo can/will displace either of Akwa Ibom, Delta, Bayela or Rivers to become the 4th; Realistically speaking, I would say Imo will occupy the 5th position. We are awaiting the data for comparison
kinematlcs: You are even mentioning the backward Imo state in the same, sentence with Akwa ibom, Rivers, Delta and Bayelsa, what an insult. Owerri is a glorified village littered with bad roads and filth.
My dear, I am a neutral observer and I can tell you without mincing words that Owerri is the best planned Administrative city in South East. I am not from Imo State neither am I from Enugu State
