This thread makes me sad and angry at the same time we have the potentials to be a powerful country but what went wrong ? angry sad
We clapped for Obama when he frustrated Jonathan out and supported Buharia into power.

We looked on, satisfied as a professor of law and experienced public office holder deputised and took orders from a confused president who had neither the physical strength nor mental capacity to handle the presidential office.

Today, another confused president is wasting our resources and dishing out policies that only impoverish us but we carry on as if nothing is amiss.

We have made our high political offices conducive for criminals and beyond the reach of sane technocrats.

Trust me Nigerian unproven gas reserve is over 3 times that if not more

Enugu for example have massive gas deposit from nsukka to udi to other places

Yes nsukka even have oil that government have refused to explore

Even udi has seen crude oil come out from the ground on its own


Ebonyi has had oil wells since the Early 1900 explored by the colonial powers

Anambra, IMO n Abia are well known

Anioma is a gas hubs

Obigbo, asa, ndoni, egebama are gas hubs
Sometimes Africand dey vex me. They think science is geopolitical politics. Which kind continent I come from like this abeg

The United States tend to always appear in lists of countries with most minerals deposits.
Sure. The Americans have huge deposits of natural resources. They are very well managed and accounted for. Recently they signed an agreement with the Ukrainians to be part of the Ukrainian rare earth minerals. These things define the most powerful nations on earth. That’s why you see the Americans, Russians and Chinese always leading. They have vast lands sometimes connecting two continents.

The difference with our country is that we have huge quantities of natural resources, but very poor and highly criminal accounting. How can we in this age and time be talking about crude stealing? How can we watch our gold and other resources in the north stolen and yet we go from country to country borrowing?

That’s why the SE will play a very serious part in the future of the Nigerian economy. The country’s largest reserves are found between Imo and Anambra state.

But china beats them hands down in rare earth deposits which is one of the most vital resource for industrilisation in this time and age,only the Congo cones second

Nsukka, Eha Alumona precisely has huge unexplored deposits of crude oil.

When i was in UNN, an exploration company who discovered it, rented a full apartment in one of my friends' father's properties.

That's why Putin created the coup-belt, to prevent the Trans-Sahara gas pipeline from being built and keep Europe dependent on him for gas
And our brothers keep ailing and supporting him in his games against their own development.....this would have given west Africa especially Nigeria a greater stake amongst the committee of nations

How can we trust you?
Please back up your claims.
Where are your facts coming from?
Your claim here that government refused to explore some SE oil deposits has ethnocentrism coloration to it.
Something that will increase revenue for government.
Haba!!!
Oga, government spokesperson, you believing it or not doesn't change the facts

We're talking fact you're assuming.
You're even mentioning places you've never been or seen. And you still use the phrase" trust me"

Re: Countries With The Largest Proven Natural Gas Reserves by Ready2speak:
Pharaoh let my people go.

Scatter Nigeria so that everyone goes to his place, manage its natural resources and to build a better life for themselves and the generations unborn.

But the Agbados, the gbegiri and Amala gulpers will not want. They and the unity beggers will rather commit suicide than agree for peaceful dissolution. They claim it was God that created Nigeria. How they came to such conclusion beats some of us. But what we read from history is that it was colonial adventures who were seeking for spaces to explore for commercial and religious purposes that set sail to this clime and used cunning methods and got the aboriginal people mesmerised with little things like mirrors and bottles of gin.

How these modern day revisionists came to the conclusion that it was God Almighty that brought this useless geographical expression, with different ethnic nations together, is still a wonder. God to them, who said let there be light and there was light, created a place of darkness, injustice, irreconcilable differences, prejudice, hatred, tribal bigotry, wickedness and envy, does not agree with the nature of God.

The gas they are talking about is mainly in the region called Biafra which is why they want to die as slaves to the Whiteman and preserve this God forsaken enclave while their sons and daughters die attempting to migrate to oyibo land.

But pass all of una.

Am not sure this gas reserves is the same with cooking gas!

I don't think they are talking about the same kind of gas we use to cook. If the source of the gas we use to cook is so plenty, why would it be expensive.

the person you quoted is actually correct. Imo state accounts for more than 60% of Nigeria's natural gas deposit. I have no idea why it has remained unexplored, though I prefer it that way. There's even a place in Owerri called Shell Camp, which is where the first crude oil explorers settled

This is one of the key reasons I am skeptical about certain policies of government that have increased the socio-economic burden on Nigerians.

Nigeria's vast natural resources remain largely unexplored or have been cornered by economic cabals that the government is too scared to confront.
Yes, but..

There is a huge cost to extracting such resources. International companies also require a transparent fx rate. These two things cannot be achieved with petrol and fx subsidies.

Good. these countries are just blessed except Nigeria. we are cursed with bad leaders.
We are not the only ones with the 'bad leader ' curse, what about Venezuela and Russia? Russians are among the poorest in Europe and Venezuelan women cut and sell their hair out of poverty. Having trillions of cubit litres of gas reserves does not always translate to being rich, if you don't have good leaders or strong institutions to check mate bad ones, you will be a starving chef or a beggar at the gold mine.

Read and comprehend bros, I guess I hate our corrupt politicians more than you do. The truth is that we have our types also in Russia and Venezuela. Russia only has a large club of oligarchs who are privileged to enjoy her gas and oil wealth, the rest are poor. It is similar to Nigeria. We have a large number of extremely rich people but what about the rest? Poverty.
