Gas in the SS was/is being flared. It is only of recent that government is considering not flaring them

Electricity in Nigeria in the 70s, 80s and 90s has been majorly from dams.

The SE did not benefit from the oil boom period. Every other region benefitted.

As God will have it, Igbos have about 95% of the gas reserves of Nigeria. We must get the lion's share of benefits from it.

I knew some ignorant kids like you would come here and argue. Gas production in the country commenced as early as 1963.

Talking about the oil boom, Nigeria recorded her oil boom in 1984/85 during IBB regime, can you explain how SE out of the six geopolitical zones was denied her benefits?
Lastly, 95% gas reserves you falsely alluded is one of those lies you've been peddling without official statistics. We do only have official records for crude oil production, out of which SE comes last.

mrvitalis:
Name one tribe in Nigeria that has more oil and gas than Igbos. I would wait

The Dundee would never answer that very important question!

Meanwhile, the reason why Niger Delta was ra.ped for decades and totally stripped of their oil wealth is because it's largely a heterogeneous region with pull him down crab mentality. However, the core areas were gas is domiciled is in Igboland and the pipelines costing billions of dollars will begin and also pass through our region. If the Nigerian government is smart, now is the time to start reparations beginning with conceding Igbos the presidency in 2023. Anything short of that will cause severe animosity between the region and the central government to the extent that anything belonging to Nigeria or its government domiciled in Igboland will come under serious threat.

The times when Igbos were seen as too business minded or educated to cause trouble is gone as recent events have proved.

IPOB will achieve a critical mass support they sorely need should the presidency elude Igbos in 2023. Nigeria would not be able to survive it and not even threat of committing genocide on Igbos will stop them because how many out of 40m can you kill?

The time is really ticking for Nigeria!!!

Yorubas and insincerity are like 5 & 6. What do you mean by SE coming last? Why do you guys lie without shame?

In terms of ethnicity, Igbos produce more onshore crude oil in Nigeria than any other group and that's a fact!

Now, in terms of regions, SE only comes second after SS while SW comes last!

Below is the latest statistics about allocations to states based on crude oil production for last year and despite the fact that Anambra wasn't added, Imo and Abia States combined had far more than Ondo, the only SW state producing crude oil. By the time Anambra is included and Imo's crude oil fully accounted for, then you will see that SW is not even in the equation.

We're saying the same thing in a different way, either by oil production or allocations, SE is the least of all the region. Aside Lagos, Ogun has oil in commercial quantities but that's not even any of my business.

Natural Gas is abundant all over Nigeria

Even Northern Nigeria has Natural Gas

Just to add…my own LGA in Rivers (ONELGA), is the highest onshore producer of oyel (not sure about gas) in the entire federation! And minus the Ogba (who started saying their Bini after the uncivil war), is an entirely homogeneous Igbo territory!

Rugaria:
You were doing well until you started to regurgitate all sorts of putrid nonsense like the rest of them One Nigeria igbos. You criticize Biafra. You criticize Igbo presidency. How then do you intend to make the changes to save the gas deposits!?!? By constitutional changes? You actually think that is remotely possible? You don't know that the crises in Imo State is partly because of these discoveries? How daft can one be!?

You are going to change the socalled constitution through a legislative house in Abuja dominated by the same caliphate and her offsprings? Do you know the ratio of the members of the Senator and House of Representative members from each region? Do you understand how disadvantaged the igbos are on this?

While you are there at the Senate speaking big English, they're about finishing the pipelines to Niger republic! Gas is the future and will be very needed 50 years from now and like you said, our condition in the East becomes even more precarious because of the fact that the Western world will do everything to keep this gas deposits from Nigeria within the western control through Britain and you bet, the same caliphate has already assured them of this..

As we speak, they are building 3 power stations at Abuja, Kaduna and Kano, all with a combined power generating ability of 10,000 megawatts of power! Guess where they will get the gas to fire the power stations? It's from the gas pipelines from Imo and Abia states! Yet No designated power stations to be built in the whole of Imo and Abia! And you are there talking of constitutional changes? You actually think that this's possible with all they intend to gain from a gas reserve that's worth over 30 trillion USD at the current global price? How conviniently naive can one be?

Brilliant submission!! Couldn’t have put it better even if i tried!

If you asked them how much natural gas from SE feeds the national grid, they'd start looking at you like dummies. They like peddling " dem say" without facts.

KEVIND:
CALIPHATE’S URGENT RUSH TO PIPE AWAY THE VAST GAS DEPOSITS OF EASTERN NIGERIA WHILE LOCKING DOWN THE EAST TO ROT IN THE RUINS OF THE 1967-1970 WAR- Tony Nnadi, March 28, 2022.

As the Global hype about the diminishing importance of hydrocarbons continues and as the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria continues to reel in the pain and devastation of over six decades of Nigeria’s Oil Exploration and Exploitation, the attention of the Caliphate Proprietors of Unitary Nigeria is rapidly shifting to the Vast Gas Deposits of Eastern Nigeria, particularly Igboland.

It is well known that there are huge Gas Deposits in Eastern Nigeria but the Unitary Nigeria and it’s Caliphate Proprietors, masquerading as “the Federal Government of Nigeria” have by the Instrumentality of the Exclusive List in the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria hijacked and confiscated the ownership and control of the Vast Gas Deposits just as it did Oil, Coal, Bitumen, Limestone and a long list of other Solid Minerals spread across the South and Middle-Belt of Nigeria.

It is obvious these Vast Gas Deposits of Eastern Nigeria have become the most urgent Priority in the Elaborate Asset Stripping Scheme of the Caliphate.

Operating as “the Federal Government of Nigeria” this Caliphate had of recent regaled us with tales of how they will expand Nigeria’s Economic Base with Gas Exports to Europe, suppressing the fact that the Gas Pipelines will first land gas to Kano Industrial Hub before continuing in pipes to Europe through North Africa, but the many Industrial Hubs of the Eastern from which the Gas will flow, will be bypassed for the utilization of the Gas.

Many are aware of 1300 km Pipeline Project currently being rushed by the Nigerian Government to to export Gas to Europe. (That was the Project from which China pulled back from a $1Billion Loan Agreement following a Global Caveat by NINAS even as Caliphate-Run NNPC had hurriedly deployed their Counterpart Funding to the Project commencing Construction and Laying of Pipes).

The Dangote Refineries and Fertilizer Plant in which the Caliphate “Federal Government” plunged over $2Billion from Nigeria’s Treasury is anchored upon the confiscated Oil & Gas Assets of the Niger-Delta and the Yoruba (Ondo), all a part of the Elaborate Asset Stripping Scheme of the Caliphate.

The 1999 Constitution which EXCLUSIVELY empowers the Caliphate Operating as “the Federal Government of Nigeria” is the only reason all these are going on and unless we find a way to Take down that 1999 Constitution, not only will the Caliphate succeed in carting away the Gas, they would intensify their extermination plan against the Peoples Eastern Nigeria.

The Russia-Ukraine War has suddenly escalated the urgency of that Project as the West scouts for alternatives to Russian Oil & Gas. This exponentially increases the danger Igboland and the rest of the East is in.

Everything else our People are doing outside the Joint Multi-Regional Constitutional Force Majeure that NINAS rolled out to oust the 1999 Constitution and the Unitary Nigeria built on it is simply tantamount to Self-Immolation and a waste of time.

It is a Tragedy that People caught in this kind of existential threat are still monkeying around with some phantom “Biafra Restoration” and hallucinating about some phantom “Igbo Presidency”, wobbling rambunctiously to the 2023 Elections that will renew and reinforce that Constitution since it will be Mandated by the 1999 Constitution, and especially because the winner of the Election will have to Swear to and Govern by that Obnoxious Constitution.

Fools!
For decades, electricity your forefathers have been using electricity that was powered using gas supply from SS. But you fools have been talking bullshit just because a few lghters of gas was found somewhere in your backyard about a year ago.

We’re talking ethnicities here not some amorphous and undemocratic regional construct that only came into existence around 1999!

Besides, assuming without conceding that we go along with your assertion that ‘electricity my forefathers enjoyed for decades came from gas supply from the SS’ (also not minding the fact that my forefathers are equally part of the so called SS), if the SS were so daft and so docile as to sit by and allow outsiders come in and rape them of their precious natural resources, pray why do you wanna blame Ndigbo for that… now saying they shouldn’t today fight not to be cheated of what’s rightfully theirs!?

SmartPolician:
Simple Google search would have saved you this brazen stupidity!

To the op'ed, it doesn't make sense how people in the East and elsewhere in the country have been made to believe that Fulani whose population is not even up to half that of the Igbos is holding the entire country by its balls and stopping her from making progress.

since you have much population like this,why not use your population to vote for an igbo president? Instead of fooling around nairaland.

I've said it time without numbers that if the crude oil deposit we've had in the Niger delta was to be in SE, these people could have burned down Nigeria by now.



If it were to be in the North, nothing could have happened as they would have freely shared with other part of the country without noise.

Apart from religious intolerant, the North is not known for greed, shortchange, cheat, selfishness etc.

There was an agricultural revolution those days, the North did not keep back.
Have you ask yourself why most Nigerians from other part prefer doing business with them? It's simply because of their openness.

We saw their generosity towards our collective good played out most recently during the Covid-19 donations (CACOVID).
How many substantial donors come from your region? If it's unhealthy competition among yourselves then they'll like to show off small cash in their villages.

igboman have not benefited anything from the oil exploration that is going on in either in the niger delta or part of eastern region, since the discovery of oil in Nigeria what can you point out as the benefits of igboman from oil exploration? Is self to claim that will not like to share with any region just as the north is not sharing their own Gold with any region.


The major reason the so called Niger delta are not complaining is because they are minority and the only voice they have to make a national claim have been poisoned by hatred and division.

i mentioned infrastructural developments, you are talking about greedy people owning an oil well, how does the oil well owned by corrupt Emeka ofor or greedy Arthur Eze stand as benefits to igboman? Like i said earlier you are free to disagree, no majority tribe will like to share it's resources with the rest of the country, the north are currently mining their Gold without bringing penny to the centre.


The west are clamouring for restructuring in order to enjoy the advantage it's has over other regions, oga stop the cheap blackmail against igboman, every tribe in this nation want the same thing, the reason we are in one Nigeria with the fulanis is because of what we bring to the table .

The level of illiteracy in you, boggles the mind.

To start with, when you click on the link you posted, the title of the page reads clearly "NIGERIAN GAS FLARE COMMERCIALIZATION PROGRAMME"

Now, if your illiteracy will allow you, scroll down to the GAS FLARE section and ask and intelligent person around you to interpret it for you. A few things to take on board once you read that section are
1. All Associated Gas (AG) was routinely flared and disposed-off into the atmosphere during the early days of oil production in Nigeria.
2. This practice of flaring 100% of AG lasted until the commencement of gas supplies to industrial users in Aba in 1963. In spite of this early source of utilisation and other government schemes, over 95% of AG was routinely flared over the next 15 years.
3. Despite the intervention of the government, gas flaring increased sharply in the 1970s due to increased oil production that was triggered by higher international crude oil prices. Conversely the slowdown of crude oil production in the 1980s brought about a reduction in AG production and gas flaring. At the dip of production in 1987, flaring of AG had dropped from over 95% to 70%.
4. It was the commencement of production at the Nigeria LNG plant, however, that brought about a major leap in gas flare reductions in Nigeria. Since 1999, a variety of gas utilisation schemes and regulatory interventions forced gas flaring down to the current position of 11.4%. The ultimate goal for the government is to eliminate routine gas flaring by 2020, with unavoidable gas flaring limited to 2% of total gas production.

All the points above tally with my initial statement, that the Nigerian gas was majorly flared until recently (the last few decades)
Also Aba is not even 1% of Igboland, so most of our electricity needs was (and possibly is still) being supplied dams.

Now to further lecture you, oil boom happened during the 70s when the military was still in power. It was around this time that Gowon said that Nigeria had the cash, but didn't know what to do with it, or something to that effect. Oil boom did not occur during the Babangida era. It was Babangida that brought in Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP). Please next time that you want to argue with me, try and upgrade your intellect.

Lastly, I still maintain that 95% of gas reserves in Nigeria, are in Igboland. Igboland of the SE and SS. Of course majority of those gas reserves are in the Igbo territories of the SE.

So that’s your idea of Ndigbo/Alaigbo ‘gaining’ from the hydrocarbons God blessed them with….a few token Igbo entrepreneurs enabled with a few crumbs in comparison to what the ‘owners of Nigeria’ got…..like Dangote, Rabiu, Dantata, IBB, Abacha family, Abdulsalami Abubakar, Mai Deribe, etc! Those Igbo and other self-made Igbo entrepreneurs could be destroyed or frustrated in an instant by these ‘owners of Nigeria’….esp’ those still in and around gov’t in Abuja!

Unfortunately statistics and facts show that the SE contributed little or nothing to the economy of the country.
However, they're the major beneficiary of the nation's social economic potential.

The people that claimed to be more successful & prosperous than any other region are the same people who wail that they're the most victimized. Is this not a contradiction or an aberration?
Common sense accedes that victimized people are normally the oppressed, subjugated, downtrodden and the peasants

I've traveled most part of the country but I haven't seen a people so grossly ruined by complicity challenges like the Igbos.

I know it must be painful for you lot. Below is DPR's website, with their commentary on the gas reserves of Nigeria

https://ngfcp.dpr.gov.ng/about-us/historical-background/

A snippet of it is pasted below. Pay attention to the bolded

Oil and gas production in Nigeria dates back to 1958, when the first oil discovery well was drilled in Oloibiri (present day Bayelsa State, Niger Delta Region). A noticeable increase in gas production commenced in the early 1970s, ultimately rising above 2.7 bscf/d by 1979. By this time, a domestic market had been created for the consumption of produced gas in the eastern part of the country, close to the gas source. Since 1990 gas production has steadily increased with daily production rising above 8.2 bscf/d in 2015.

An irony that exists only in Nigeria, where those who contribute nothing to the centre want to secede, thereby those who feed the rest of the nation want the nation to remain as one,even when is obvious that nothing is working ,the joke is on you.



I don't know how individuals success can be used to measure equity and fairness? Igboman have been known to be successful wherever he finds himself .if you go to different countries of the world you will see igboman doing well to the envy of the locals. Oga leave igboman and how he succeeds in life,the price igboman is paying in terms of tolerant and perseverance most you will rather enjoy leaking the ass of Tinubu than to stand on your own.

NnamdiAzikiwe:
My people should stop this tribalism, this gas belongs to everyone in Nigeria as long as igbos are doing business and benefitting from other parts of nigeria.

The Produced gas from Bayelsa and Niger Delta was Consumed by Aba and the East because it was close to the Source which Was Bayelsa and Niger Delta
