We won’t allow ceding Ogun oil-rich Island to Benin Republic – Senate panel.

The Senate Committee on Navy said it will come up with a plan to resist the takeover of oil-rich Tongeji Island in Ipokia Local Government Area of Ogun State by the Benin Republic and its foreign allies.

Oil was first discovered on Tongeji Island in 2008. An oil firm, Gasoline Integrated International, in an expression of interest, planned to build a $3 billion refinery on Tongeji Island.

Speaking at the end of a facility tour of the Western Naval Command in Lagos, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Navy, Senator Gbenga Daniel, expressed concern over the abandonment of Tongeji Island.

He said the federal government cannot afford to lose the island just like it did with the oil-rich Bakassi peninsula to Cameroon.

Daniel said his committee would strategise on what to do to ensure that Nigeria did not lose Tongeji.

“We are currently strategizing on what we need to do as a government so that we don’t lose Tongeji just like we ceded certain areas in Calabar to Cameroon.

“We are working on that but we will not disclose our strategies because these are security matters,” he said.

Yoruba man ceded Bakassi to Cameroon. Could this be Karma in action?

God bless South West, south south, north east, north west and north central

Has Benin Republic made any claims to the island?

You no see as you mumu.

Not if France has something to say about it and don't expect the Brits to come to your aid. Same with the Bakassi scenario, you stand no chance militarily

If you read Lord Lugard's Dual Mandate he explained how Cross River was Obtained by the British Colonial Govt in exchange.for Bakassi Peninsula which was given to German Colonial Govt of Cameroon

It was Ratified at the Berlin Conference

Today's Cross River was held by the Germans before the agreement. The Germans were also to be given free passage on the Cross Rivers to their Colonies in Northern Cameroon

Ile Oduduwa.

Oil in Ondo, Oil in Lagos, Oil in Ogun.

No, it's not Karma, it's Kamoru.

This hatred and bitterness that your parents planted in you is the reason why you are sad, bitter, miserable, depressed, and suicidal

If you look at the Map at least 90% of Tongeji is in Ogun State I don't think there is much to dispute

Idiots and nincompoops like the one you quoted do not have brain to think, neither do they read

U're too immature yo understand what led to Bakassi being ceded to Cameron hence ur careless talk.

Point of correction. Obasanjo is a flartinos.😂😂😂

I laugh in Swahili,Nigerians have really suffered
Those people beating their chest and making big talk,please help me ask them one question
Have they been to Tongeji Island,I am sure the answer is most likely a big No
There are a lot of communities in Ogun State that are really suffering neglect,I will keep shouting until the Ogun State Government does the needful
Please I appeal to the government to visit Ogun Waterside LGA,the community shares boundaries with Ibeju Lekki LGA
Almost no government presence but blessed with wonderful beaches and Good Lagoon front viable for tourism and residency
I took a great pain in investing in that community but there is little we can do
The villages like Lupefun,Lomitoto and Ode Omi town deserve to live better

You are saying a different thing. Why was there a truce or agreement between nigerian government and Cameron during the civil war that Bakassi will be given to Cameroun if they agree to work together against the Biafrans?

The Berlin Conference was what the World Court relied on to find in Cameroons favor

What happened was that after the World Wars and Germany's defeat the British took Advantage of Germany because Germany couldn't enforce anything

But the Agreement had already been reached previously at the Berlin Conference where the Boundaries had been decided that was what Cameroon rightly relied on
