yes sir. USA produces more oil than Nigeria. The reason you don't hear much about it is because they have bigger revenue sources than crude oil

....while in Nigeria we site our refineries in kaduna, hundreds of kilometers from crude oil source, yet not a single refinery has been built in the Southeast, despite the region’s abundant oil reserves.

Please think it through yourself, who will think of building a big refinery in the south east at the moment, with the level of unrest in that region of the country.

So you meant North has no oil? What has changed with the citing of 3 other refineries that are in the South?

USA is the biggest oil Producer in the world but but their consumption is so enormous that what they produce is never enough for local consumption reason why they are always ready to be your ally if you are producing oil but always ready to fight any oil producing country whose Leader is not friendly to them

Where is abundant oil in the SE?
Plus what's stopping your "abundant BILLIONAIRES " from building one?

What stopped the billionaires from the North from building the senseless kaduna refinery?
Offucially South east has 3 oil producing states and the region has the most profitable oil reserves in the whole of Nigeria.

Its for business and economic reasons.
It much sense to invest in refinary and selling byproduct of crude oil.
Also, it is capital intensive to build refinary, so it is easier to sell crude than to build for quick profit.

The USA is an oil producing country, FYI

Nobody will think of building refinery in the southeast but those same people are drilling oil daily from southeast. They can drill southeast oil but can't build a refinery in the southeast

so what will be the outcome of it? U think is about having biggest refinery? Ask Venezuelans how their country be,upon having second largest refinery, and oil producing country. Is about having good leadership.

sanction is what is destroying their economy

Venezuela also over imports. Like now in Nigeria, we manufacture things like toilet roll, soap, even pasta . Venezuela imports all of that. No domestic manufacturing.

Add the fact that venezuelan oil costs a lot to process ( high sulphur content)..and the high amounts they spend on subsidy, and the losses they get to smuggling, wahala dey

they're under sanction is the answer

That Russia and china ignore self? Even one Nigerian company signed deal with their oil industry.

Plus Venezuela had the same problems it has now in the 1980s. Back then, zero sanctions.

The problem is over importation and reliance on crude oil. They even import things they can make.

Also their government can consficate private industries and businesses..and then there is subsidy

Who is going to come and invest?

Sanctions my foot.

The three states combined are producing 31k bpd while Lagos and Ondo are producing 100k. Let's not go to South South because they're the real crude producers, not the Southeast!

Congratulations to him and to Nigeria

Not only that, Nigeria's GDP (PPP) is now #19 from #27 and the Naira is appreciating too.

Why are you pulling up a 2024 data in October 2025 to support an untrue narrative.

Old news, or rather outdated victim card. Who or what stops Southeasterners from building refineries in the Southeast, or make the environment conducive for Dangote or other wealthy Nigerians to build refineries in the south east?

Many Southeasterners have Oil Mining licences, and some have licences to build refineries since the days of OBJ, why are they not building refineries?

The data i posted is from The NUPRC (Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission).
Which remains the legally recognized authority responsible for collecting and publishing Nigeria’s crude oil production data.
Every other source is fake and should be disregarded
