Ask leaders better they all failed you and only believed in crude oil.

What has religion got to do with this?

Islam is directly proportional to violence and violence is directly proportional to underdevelopment in the region.
So it is safe to say Islam brings underdevelopment cos there must always be violence.

For ur information poster, You should be asking what does the future holds for Nigeria after Crude Oil from the Niger Delta!

The fall in the prices of Crude is hugely responsible for the free fall the Nation's currency, the Naira is witnessing today! Is it Niger Deltans that are concerned more or the Nation?

Niger Delta has contributed immensely and took and is taken Nigeria to places from Crude Oil proceeds!
Let other regions show us what they have got!

Niger Deltan care-less or little about Crude on his soil considering the hardzards it has cost that environment as a whole!

What meaningful development,project or Economic upliftment has a Niger Deltan enjoyed that he will loose sleep over the fall of Crude prices in the International market?

How many Niger Deltans has an Oil Block that is in their soil?

Is this myopic poster saying Jonathan and nay Niger Delta is recognise in Nigeria because of Oil? Let's allow the Hausa Fulani continue to lead the country as they have always be doing then, after all a person from the so-called minority from the Niger Delta in the person of Jonathan just lead the country of recent and the hate and tension it generated is still yet to die-down!

The Budget 2016 is out and most of it will be funded by borrowing,how do we pay-back if not from the same sales of Crude Oil?

If the Crude has lost it's value as the poster wants to portray, why then did the President opt to be the petroleum minister when there are so many other ministries to choose from?

Remember, in the same Niger Delta, other natural resources especially Aquatic resources abound because they have the massive bodies of water that stretches to the Atlantic Ocean!

God bless Nigeria And We will Not Beg Before We Eat!

@ToyinDipo your entire stance is just projecting permanence to a bust really. Thanks for appreciating my humour . You did not even get my point. The oil cannot go for even 5 point anything. Like I said That still neglects inflation's contributions lol. The said component gives it like minimum 15.. Don't you know F& D( finding and devt) costs will have to be justified........ And like I said its a transport fuel. This isn't even that much of a bust. The 80s Soviet-crippling episode was worse that this in both nominal and real terms. The point is the resource cannot be 'inconsequential' except ofc cars, ships and heavy equipment become nonexistent as well. OPEC is fighting a war of attrition with the Shale boys. Everyone's budget is taking a hit. I wonder why I would be offended by a resource lol ?? haha you're funny. Look at the average annual price forecasts. 30-35/ barrel isn't really surprising. it still keeps with the annual 55/barrel average. Looking from jan-dec. ext year's will be similar- avg. annual unit price that is.

If shell could be forced to close down their lucrative oil drilling operations in the ND is it Nestlé that will stay?


I am not in any way condemning what you have but starting that local industrialization has its future solily set in the SE than any other region.

The very fact that the Ibo business man can have the vision and courage to invest in manufacturing shows how rugged they are.

This is my point.

So much resources plundered. so much wealth wasted, Functional ecosystem of both flora and fauna destroyed, and poverty and illiteracy rising.
Nigeria is a wicked country.

I just wonder how you arrived at your believe that Nigeria, a country, is wicked. Is it not people like you that make up a country? You mean everyone in your family, community, place of work, church etc is wicked?

Firstly you are wrong on Ogun having the largest deposits of limestone, that record goes to Sokoto which has the worlds largest reserves.

Secondly, this is exploitative mining and not entrepreneurship .

Abi we go chop cement?

The deposits in Ogun were exploited to meet the housing demand in Lagos.

And besides I can bet you have just one cement factory in Ogun. Is this factory going to employ everybody in Ogun and is it going to form the next Sony which started off as a one man venture?

DevilIsALai busting liars since 1801

Your vibration here seems to be borne out of disdain or hate but it doesnt change the fact that oil still remains nigeria's main stay as of today,dont be deceived by that unimplementable budget being proposed 4 2016. Yea you made some sense as regards the future of fossil fuels considering cleaner ways that are being sought but also realise that technology is dynamic so more uses could still be found for fossil fuel with better ways of minimizing or reducing the pollution it causes. I dont see oil being eliminated as a source of energy anytime soon but the region should also key into the diversification efforts so it wont be caught unawares whenever that happens,if it ever does.

The igbos are mostly likely to enter the middle class regardless of their academic background than any tribe.

The middle class in Nigeria is typified as mostly educated individuals with at least a BSC.

While the southwest relies on paid employment in a multinational firm to enter the middle class which will require a university degree, the igbos irrespective find themselves in this class through self employment and they do this through an independent mindset to succeed. This is the secret of entrepreneurship .


So while the SW will have to get a higher degree and the multinational company to employ him or her after attaining their degree the Ibos are already generating their own wealth.

This is what made America great. Not paid employment but small businesses . McDonalds was formed from one burger stand in suburbia but today it is a global brand.

The small scale you dismiss today can grow to conquer the world and there are so many global brands all over the world which started as a one man venture.

thank for all your grandiose delusion and propaganda.

But you lied. And that lie goes deep, deeper than the lie that said Kano has more population than Lagos.

Mumu people. Nigeria is still depending on crude.

But to bé truthfull, if the Comittee Of 300 Finally allow all those free Energy Generators (that can power just about anything that needs Electric Power) that does not rely on Oil nor Solar to enter maket, oil value will sure fall to less than $2 oo.

Immagine just recently 2 different types Lenzless transformers were invented.

This is not just the time for mere economy diversification but instead the time to develop ourselves Massively in Science and Technolgy.

Brain, not barrells leads oo.

Does diversifying the Economy literally mean oil will be useless? I don't think this is the first time the industry (oil) would be experiencing low price. Tho, it might never be as worse as it is presently. We can't discard the role crude oil in the global Energy sector. Even If the price of oil go as low as $20/bbl, am pretty sure it would still go back to the average price it used to before, that is what makes it unique ( volatility of price).
#note: i'm not from the ND

So the whole 1st page of this thread is igbos laughing at the south-southerners and (of course everyone else) saying "i told u so" "our oyel" "we are d greatest tribe on earth" "only we are useful" "u guys are stupid minorities" and d rest of their USUAL diatribe, i've decided to pass on this useless thread.

Bryan37:
It's no news that only 13% of 2016 budget will be funded by the SALE of Crude

Which means that Nigeria is gradually diversifying its economy away from the Oil sector which is expected to even "nose down more". By d time Iran starts pumping their Oil into the international Market, also with d demand for cleaner energy rising day by day and d Cost becoming cheaper and cheaper, I can tell u that in d Next 20 yrs a bucket of Clean water may worth more than a bucket of toxic crude.


What will become of ND a report that has been raped by the Nigeria Government for the past 10 decade

I keep wondering if d OIL was a gift or a curse to this region which made them so Lazy, Corrupt and underdeveloped. Infact d most popular Slogan in d Niger Delta is " our oyel".

The only time ND man is considered in the scheme of things in Nigeria is compensation because of their Oil. Eg emergence of Goodluck Jonathan etc,

Now that the value is gradually diminishing and d reseRve trying, you wonder if this region has done enough or if they are prepared for the storm coming their way.

I must confess, am happy we re moving away from Oil and you are happy too but what will become of our brothers who only relevant is dependent on CRUDE

The OP is high on dung. The question is now that the price of oil does not suit Nigeria anymore, what next for Nigeria? Niger Delta is in Nigeria and Nigeria has been rapi.ng the region for decades. And for his/her information, the dependence on oil has made the whole country lazy and unproductive so trying to disassociate yourself now is idiocy.

MrAnalyst:
The damage caused by oil exploration on their environment has not been tackled and now the oil is becoming "useless". If the downward trend continues the region will lose it's "relevance" and they'll become a laughing stock in the scheme of things because they've been made lazy by their oil benefits/entitlements. The future is quite bleak for the region unless they seat up and help themselves.

. If you are from this region you won't sound like this. Oil exploitation led to their present predicament. What if there is less exploitation due to low demand. Most lands will become fertile for farming. The people? They will learn to be stronger since situation has changed. If ND part of the federation units in Nigeria, what stops a sensitive Govt from creating an alternative means of livelihood for nd people. So I see them subsisting beyond oil fall

Is Ogun state responsible for Nestlé?

None of the companies in Ogun are local most are multinational firms.

Ogun as I said is nothing but a "free trade zone . There is hardly any manufacturing going as they are merely repackaging to meet the local demand.

Another unique thing about an industrial hub is how companies or firms located in that sector also depend on each other for inputs.

In Ogun will nestle be serviced by leventis?

In places like Aba, you have companies tht support other companies.

You have the button manufacturers , label makers that supply the booming tailoring firms.

That is what an industrial hub is and not where you have packaging firms that only employ temporal labourers and rely only on transportation in their manufacturing process

Just because there are big companies in Ogun doesn't mean there are no local manufacturing companies there too, they are just too small to be of any consequence, same would have applied if those your small shoe makers are in ogun too, they wouldn't count. Smh. Na una wahala sha.
