those mighty buildings you see across igboland from Onitsha, awka, nnewi, owerri, orlu, aba , Enugu etc are actually built by individuals and not governments. I know you will find it difficult to believe because outside Abuja, Lagos and PH there is no where in Nigeria and black Africa you will find such massive number of 6-7 storeys buildings built by individuals in such massive scale. My friend from taraba arrived Onitsha in 2004 and when he saw those buildings he echoed same sentiments as you and asked why are igbos shouting marginalization when government did all these. I told him those houses belonged to individuals not government that the only visible federal government presence in SE was the old post office, police station, army barracks and federal highways like Enugu - Onitsha highway etc which has been dilapidated since Shagari built it in 1981 . The man thought I was lying to him, left and never communicated again since then because he believed it was impossible for individuals and not government to build such massive buildings

I could understand his frustration. same way I host visitors who are first timers around concord avenue owerri, and the next thing they ask is if we are driving towards government house... lol I'll just laugh in my mind like the standards are actually high in SE

With regards to the bolded, you should supply me with information from the Delta state governor regarding Nigeria's gas reserves, after all according to you, Delta state government ought to know more about gas reserves than the federal ministry of petroleum resources.

And let me lecture you a little also, following your logic I can also prove to you that the Delta state governor, whom you wrote, knew more about gas reserves, studied medicine and surgery, but you tried to confuse illiterates that he knows more about gas deposits than the federal minister of state for petroleum resources.

Let me tell you something else you obviously don't seem to know. The federal ministry of petroleum resources has departments and parastatals attached to it, that house experts in various aspects of the gas sector, including geologists and all manner of experts.
The petroleum ministry has way more of such resources than a mere government of Delta state.
So while the ministerial positions are political, the ministry of petroleum resources is the best port of call, when one needs to know more about the petroleum/gas situation in Nigeria. If you haven't learnt anything from this exchanges with me, please be aware of the above paragraph

OfoIgbo:
So why is there no synergy between the ministry of petroleum resources and the Delta state government?

You have also shown great illiteracy by insinuating that the Delta governor knows more about oil and gas resources in NIGERIA, than the federal ministry of Petroleum resources.

If Delta state has 40% of Nigeria's gas resources, how come both Shell BP and SEPLAT are individually constructing massive gas complexes in Imo state and not in Delta state? You think such companies will sink the those billions of dollars in a state that has minimal gas resources.

And btw, why will you think that a 2021 article will still be ENTIRELY very current today in 2024? I'm even wondering whether you are normal, as a matter of fact.

Bottomline is that at the moment, Imo state has more than 60% of Nigeria's gas resources. This is fact that your inferior intellectual somersaulting can never obliterate. At least you now seem to accept Nigeria has up to 206 tcf of gas. Initially, you were skeptical Nigeria even had up to 200 tcf, which Imo alone can boast of.

Bekermann:
Lol

Slaughtered with facts with no sources whatsoever? Let me take you down memory lane. The past governor of Delta State, Sen. Ifeanyi Okowa said 40% of the country’s gas deposits sits under the territory of Delta State.

Have you come across any Deltan on this forum making a fuss from that statement?

Your submission up there cannot haunt me cuz I’m armed with facts. For your information, I am in the value chain in this industry so go and tell that crap you wrote up there to the other unlettered folks of your ilk.

OfoIgbo:
The country's proven gas deposit is about 300tcf. So you are headed nowhere with this attempt to throw in a smokescreen.

Of the remaining 100 TCF, Igbo states and Igbo areas in the SS still hold a majority on those

I know Lagos state also has a few BILLION Cubic feet of gas deposits. Not TRILLION, bear that in mind.

TCFs, are mainly found in the SE and SS. BCFs are found in Lagos, and maybe one or two other SW states.
