He's right after all.

Many criticizing his views never read the interview but only focused on the caption

The only reason why these idiots have any guts to say this is because of one naijeria.

I don't think they would dare to go and drag oil in a Niger delta republic.

Who do you blame? When you see some that put the title "Dr" in front of his names and still reason these way is that not a mystery yet to be known? Even a total illiterate can't reason this way infact someone with mental issues can't reason this way, bro it is the Quota system issue that caused it.

You spoke well Alhaji. We have heard. Just like Buhari and the cabal heard you during their time.

All financial institutions are headed by people from the West....UBA, Fidelity, Zenith, NSIA, Access are exceptions to your postulation.

Maybe Alhaji should be made a DG and we will see how much dollars he will put inside his cap. 😁

78% of the landmass of this country belongs to the North.:

hahahahahahahahah. just greedy people shocked shocked shocked

Tjra:
Whatever we get into the sea is as a result of our landmass as Nigeria. Now, if you divide the landmass in Nigeria, 78% of the landmass of this country belongs to the North. As you know, the whole of the South-East states can be put inside Niger. You can also put another five states in Niger and there will still be space. One state in the North can take more than two of the spaces of the total South-East.

These guys just like to bully our people. Not fair oo cry

Have you ever heard the story about the Donkey in a Well?
Something happened since 1800 and 224 years later, people are still complaining.
With all their knowledge and technology?
----------------------------------
The Donkey in the Well is a parable about life.
Once upon a time, a farmer's donkey fell down into a well.
The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally, he decided the animal was old, that the well needed to be covered anyway
and that it just wasn't worth retrieving the donkey. However, the donkey shrugged
off all the mud being shoveled upon and took a step up. The story is often told to
teach the lesson that no matter how bad things seem, there is always a way out.

That is a very big lie, the very comment I wrote up here is the reason these people behave this way, to me the south westerners I feel are the major cause, if this country was only Igbo and the north, there most likely would have been 2 outcomes, either the country would have been divided by now or the north would have adjusted and be way better than what it is right now....

Haha, person go jail 20 months for Igbo, collect NB for us, fought military and Abacha to teeth, don our culture, and yet all these are insufficient to give him the honour he deserves because he doesn't support Obi. He's done what no other Nigerian has done for Nigeria in his lifetime and he's the black sheep because of the loud mouth of some uncouth, ungrateful idiots. Emulable life but his main crime is criticism, calling it as it is.

Damn, you have to even think twice to be kind to a fellow black man.

I'm a successful and ambitious and right thinking youth and I do fully support and hope to live like Soyinka and they're many like me. Anyone who have failed to contribute ~10% Soyinka's achievement to Nigeria, it shall never be well with them, never!

Either you like it or not, Bugaje is right. Besides the North benefit more from Nigeria Oil. Two people for my family get oil well for Akwaibom.

How many people in your State get oil well? grin grin

Re: 'Why Nigeria’s Oil Belongs To The North' - Dr. Usman Bugaje by J3susFr3ak: 7:43pm On Apr 02
The man' s assertions that a nation's nautical mile exclusive access to the sea or or ocean depends on the size of its landmass are pure lies and dubious at best. A country as small as the Equatorial Guinea still has exclusive access to its own off shore oil wells that fall within its exclusive zone and that does not depend on the size of its country at all.

Here is the UN point of view on this matter:

"The foundation is the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS 1982). It says that a country may claim an area extending 12 nautical miles from its coast as its own territorial sea. Additionally it can exploit 200 nautical miles of the water column beyond its coast as its exclusive economic zone. The same applies to the first 200 nautical miles of the sea floor, the continental shelf. The resources found there can be exploited by that country alone. And that is not all. If the country can scientifically prove that its continental shelf extends even further – that it is continuously geologically connected to the mainland – it also has the sole rights to the resources there as well. This territorial claim includes islands but not rocks or other outcroppings."

If the continental shelf of a nation's landmass extends further into the sea.,.it can also use that basis to claim it as part of its territorial waters as explained by the article here:

https://www.boell.de/en/2017/05/30/ocean-governance-who-owns-ocean

"This is particularly interesting for some uninhabited islands like Heard Island and the McDonald Islands. They are tiny islands located 1,000 kilometers north of eastern Antarctica. Thanks to them, Australia has secured a geological exploitation area of more than 2.5 million square meters. That’s because these islands stand on the undersea Kerguelen Plateau, a gigantic mountain range that stretches more than 2,000 kilometers. Australia can now claim exclusive exploitation rights to it. The convention does place some limits on this, but the rights may still extend up to 350 nautical miles from the island."

It therefore means that if the Niger Delta littoral states become a country tomorrow they can still claim those same off shore wells as part of their territorial waters and this is will not be based on the size of the Delta nation per se.

Perhaps this dubious Muslim was harping on the twisted nonsense the Nigerian constitution added to make such control of those territorial waters a prerogative of the Federal Government and not the Littoral state facing the ocean itself.

This is where further interesting discussions and amendments need to be made.

Nigeria was handed over to the I:gbos not northern Nigerias.


It was the i:gbos that the british handed Nigeria to not to the northerners because they wanted to control all the regions in Nigeria, so they planned a coup that killed the leaders of other major ethnic nations and abolished regionalism and eventually led to a civil war which they lost and the northerners maintained the unitary system of government put in place by the i:gbos

Because those inane elders of the coastal areas of the Niger delta region sold the oil to the north. Those elders wanted to shun the Igbo and went to Kaduna to beg the then Regional governor of the state, Hashim Katsina, to beg the then HoS, Yakubu Gowon to separate the coastal area from Biafra. Gowon quickly created Cross River and River state, Biafra lost. Northern military dictators and businessmen acquired the multi billion dollar oil blocks in the Niger delta region.
Furthermore, Northern military dictators proliferated a whooping number of 19 states and Abuja in the northern region to siphon more oil revenues to the north every monthly federal allocations day.
Sotay, from the overrepresentation of the north at the NASS, the north can say what percentage of proceeds from crude oil can go to the oil producing areas. The north can decide how much doles can be given to restless youths in the Niger delta to keep calm while oil proceeds go to Abuja.

All of these provoking comments from the North is because the President has refused to die.

Let me remind them that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not dieing anytime soon and will see out his tenure(s).

They did not hail him because he attacked Tinubu/Akpabio. They hailed him.because he brought issues about the budget to light. They were also disappointed in their LP lawmakers they thought would do what Ningi did in the house.

Northern Nigerians are a waste of space. They have all manner of resources, including cheap labour, gold, agriculture, green energy minerals, hydroelectricity, solar, and a good road network, but their lazy eyes are on the oil in the south. A lazy people who refuse to wake up will be slaves.
