₦airaland Forum

Someone recently pasted a thread on state production of crude oil on Nairaland on initially viewing it i was happy because i had searched on the topic many tomes before but on further enquiry i found out many inconsistencies with the report such as the barrel production of many states and corresponding derivation to the states was not proportional i.e according to the report edo state produce the same amount of oil as that of imo and abia combined but however they each had almost the same production. That there was a recorded barrel production for c/r state but no corresponding derivation so on further inspection of the site all i came up with was he aforementioned pictures no report on either source of the information or the time/year it was carried out . I even went further to check it out on the nnpc website and nddc site but no luck either.

So the questions are where exactly did they really get the information from, is it reliable or true why is there no actual records on either oil or gas reserves or production by state in this electronic age. Does Nigeria sell its gas and if so to what amounts. Oil and Gas is the most lucrative and important sector to the federal government and there should be more accountability in this sector.

PS: this is simply an opinion and not fact but due to lack of information if you have dissenting views feel free to disagree but however with credible sources and reliable information.

everything abt oil and gas in Nigeria is covered and carried out in altmost secrecy thats while world bank cannot easily have all abachas loot

Seconded

[size=14pt]Oga mi,
The day you stop taking yoruba e-warriors and their bogus reports seriously, then you will live long.

Nigeria is the worst country you can hope to rely on its data.
it is always manipulated for one political gain or another. Even our poverty rate data is manipulated depending on who wants it.


For instance, if it is for an International investors looking for where there is less poverty to build his shopping mall, they will skew it a certain way to deceive him. If it is an international donor looking for where the poor people are to site a poverty alleviation project, they will forge the same data a different way and present to deceive him. [/size]

The concocted a list and allocation scale and tagged it to a different link while omitting Anambra and cross river.
The diagram below is the ranking from most to least and it was for the year 2013
Note: Then(i don't know for now) Edo's oil production wasn't in commercial quatity so it wasn't significant and that was the reason Edo was not recognized
