But from the statements coming from the spokesperson of both governors, they both lay claim to the island and not a co-ownership statement.
Anyways, the boundary commission will settle the dispute at the end of the day.

US own na pure greed, it is not their land.
They know it is not their land that is why US was trying to buy it

The Yorubas of Ogun and Ondo have been in the Area for Centuries

Co-ask.
If Ondo state should let go that land, the people of Ogun state, well known to be landgrabbers, will surely come back to claim more of Ondo lands.

If it will cause war, so be it.

All land-grabbers should just back off.

How come the majority of the people in the highland are Ilajes since recorded history, but the land belong to Ogun?

Make it make sense.

Dubious and devilish landgrabbers.
Shuuu....bro, relax o.

This should be resolved by the appropriate federal government agency, and if either is still not satisfied, they head to court.

That means no oil exploration in that place for about 10 years at least.

Judging by the map i will say the land is closer to Ondo than Ogun and Ondo has every right to claim it.
Wrong map.

Ogun State supposed to be where he put ondo state in the map you're referring to. It's Ogun State before ondo state.
Re: Eba Island: Ogun And Ondo Battle Over Ownership Of Oil Rich Island by Olabest911: 2:08pm On Feb 02
Let them settle it amicably o. I don't want to hear say people die because of oil wey God give us free of charge.

I suggest Ogun State should have it, that way Ogun State become an oil producing state.

Ogun state should get out of there

Are the people in the island Ilaje or Ijebu? If they are Ilaje, it's Ondo, if they are Ijebu, it is Ogun. They are both irresponsible government.They ignored the Island, no infrastructure, no government presence. Now there is oil, they are fighting over it.

If it will bring war, let it. The only resolution is that it belongs to Ondo State.
LOL which war, abeg rest 😂

Yorubas won't fight each other over well-defined boundaries, so it is not for you to determine what is already in the law. That place is a territory under Ogun state, clear as day.

Alaska and Hawaii are different scenarios. They're both far from the US, though both states are US territory. Alaska used to be Russian territory before the US acquired it from them

The national boundaries commission should wade into this matter and give the land to Ondo. The island is even closer to Ondo than it is to Ogun.Look at the map very closely.
It is a territory under Ogun, that was what even the governor cited. It is Ogun state land, even as stated by the Boundaries Commission, so no need to be sentimenal.

I still don't understand how they will cross ocean to claim another man's land... Ogun state should just avoid this disgraceful attempt to steal from the people of Ondo state.

Ogun should have it then, if boundaries commission has ceded it to them.

Exactly. There should be no argument if most people here read the Ogun state govt's statement. It is a territory under Ogun state but Ondo state feels it's closer to their region and it should be theirs.

Facts must be separated from feelings and sentiments.

My grandfather-great grandfather is from Igbo Edun. Our family migrated from Mahin in present-day Ondo State to Igbo Edun, which is accessible by boat. U can get to Igbo Edun through ode Omi as well.

Historically, my grandfather maintained that the land belongs to Ogun State. Unfortunately, because the people speak the Ilaje language while residing in Ogun State, Ondo State has continued to lay claim to the territory based on linguistic affiliation rather than administrative boundaries.

During the referendum conducted in the 1970s–1990s, communities were asked whether they wished to remain in Ogun State or be transferred to Ondo State. Our family remained truthful and consistent, firmly maintaining that Igbo Edun/Eba land is Ogun State territory.

Its a nothing burger really, there are 774 local govts recognized by the constitution. The land must currently fall in one of the local council. Whichever state that council currently belongs, own the land. No argument!

That land clearly belongs to Ondo state as seen on the map, Ogun state CANNOT be claiming a land that is across the Atlantic, they can as well claim to own America....the person that divided that land to make it look like it is owned by Ogun state should be arrested.

Ondo state is not the owner of the village. Ogun State owned the primary school in the village and Ogun State INEC has been conducting election in the area. Ondo state has no claim. Atijere is in ondo state and it's not near eba village in Ogun State.
let's court decide on who owns the place.

No be by cho-cho-cho; na to bring results! The combined oil output of Imo, Abia and Anambra States is only half of Ondo State’s oil output alone.

1) Akwa Ibom: Produces 504,000 barrels per day, accounting for nearly a quarter of Nigeria's total oil output. The state has major offshore oil fields operated by ExxonMobil and TotalEnergies.

-2) Delta: Produces 346,000 barrels per day, with significant oil reserves and key industry players like Shell and Chevron.

3) Rivers: Produces 344,000 barrels per day, with a strong focus on oil exploration and refining. The state houses several refineries and oil servicing companies.

4) Bayelsa: Produces 290,000 barrels per day, with oil production mainly from deepwater fields like Bonga and Egina, operated by Shell and TotalEnergies.

5) Ondo: Produces 60,000 barrels per day, with offshore oil fields in the Ilaje area operated by Chevron and local companies.

6) Lagos: Produces 40,000 barrels per day, with the Aje Field offshore being a significant contributor.

7) Edo: Produces 33,000 barrels per day, with onshore oil fields in Oredo and offshore prospects.

cool Imo: Produces 17,000 barrels per day, with oil deposits in the Oguta and Egbema areas.

9) Abia: Produces 11,000 barrels per day, with oil production mainly from the Ukwa West fields.

10) Anambra: Produces 3,000 barrels per day, with significant potential for growth and exploration.
Now I'm wondering why Ondo State seems to be poor.
