Declaring a force majore does not equate to closing operations and " fleeing" as the op so fraudulently tagged the title..nowhere in the piece provided is that ever indicated... Read before you comment

Define FORCE MAJORE. So Exxon will tell Y̶̲̥̅̊ø̲̣̣̥ǖ that they are running away. Keep on giving yourself hope.

see as my fellow south southerners are applauding

TonyeBarcanista:
When our ppl start losing their jobs and coys relocate to Lagos, I hope people celebrating those misguided NDA won't complain?

What is the quantity of oil in lagos to support the move to Lagos? If they sack the ND indigenes,will they allow them to drill oil in the ND?

ganisucks:
Who should rejoice- Fulanis A̶̲̥̅̊Ω̴̩̩̩̥D̶̲̥̅̊ Yorubas. This argument won't fly. No more oil shopping spree.

The last time I checked, the oil money in Nigeria is shared and consumed by the rich (irrespective of tribe or religion or political links) even whilst the poor continue to wallow in their poverty; it has always been a Rich vs Poor battle, but divisive politicians have succeeded in brainwashing the ever gullible, educated but illiterate masses to think this has anything to do with tribe.

Now from your comment, I assume you are from either the SE or the SS? and i assume you are happy about the crippling of the oil industry because you believe this would deprive fulanis and yorubas who presumably take all the gains from the industry?

First of all, it is quite ignorant to assume that the 2 tribes you mentioned are the biggest gainers from the oil industry; the last time I checked, the 3 big Nigerian tribes are ably represented in the feast table where Nigeria's resources are shared from regime to regime. Being ignorant of this fact is the first evidence of an unfortunate mass tribal brainwash.

Secondly, the microscopic few elite of these big tribes (and also minority tribes) who may own oil blocks and who feed fattest from the oil industry, these people make up less than 0.000001% of the population and even if the conduit is cut-off, these microscopic few elite already have enough to last them 3 lifetimes. Now who are the real victims if you kill the oil industry?... The real victims are the millions of ordinary people closest to facilities and the offices. If you've ever been to or lived in an oil city like Warri or PH, you would understand how over 90% of the population of these towns directly and indirectly feed off the oil industry; bus drivers, okada men, hotel owners, mama-put owners, security men, caterers, even ashawos and to the direct staff and contractors of these companies.

Someone who has lived in a city like warri before and after the exit of a giant like Shell can testify to the colossal impact of these companies on the livelihoods of millions of people who make up the population of these cities. Only an ignorant fellow would think the main victims of a destruction of the industry would be the microscopic few elites from faraway who own blocks and who have already secured 3 lifetimes.

Force Majeure
[French, A superior or irresistible power.] An event that is a result of the elements of nature, as opposed to one caused by human behavior.
The term force majeure relates to the law of insurance and is frequently used in construction contracts to protect the parties in the event that a segment of the contract cannot be performed due to causes that are outside the control of the parties, such as natural disasters, that could not be evaded through the exercise of due care.

now that i've schooled your dumb ass ..can you point out the part of the definition that equates to fleeing or shutting down of operations?

You are now planting a new seed,I hope you can harvest it when it germinates.

Answer: Did they flee the field or not. Is Exxon mobil still operational in that field. Did Y̶̲̥̅̊ø̲̣̣̥ǖ not see in the article, where the writer tried †̥♥ point towards the true reason for the stoppage ☀̤̣̈̇f operations. If they hadn't declared a Force Majore, would the government not have sued them for breach ☀̤̣̈̇f contract.
Now I have schooled Y̶̲̥̅̊ø̲̣̣̥ǖ, can Y̶̲̥̅̊ø̲̣̣̥ǖ go A̶̲̥̅̊Ω̴̩̩̩̥D̶̲̥̅̊ dispose your Oxford "Advanced Learner" dictionary.

The funny thing is, when you check very well, it's not even Niger deltans that rejoice over this news.

Some set of humans are just happy about anything that goes wrong in Nigeria today. It's all politcal and to these guys, anything that goes wrong is viewed as punishment to Buhari, hence the euphoria. It's really wonderful how some people reason. I cant imagine the poverty and turmoil this would bring when everything finally goes down.

Who are those rejoicing?
How many jobs has the pollution and drilling of oil fields created for niger deltans since the discovery of oil?
In as much as you love "one-Nigeria" why frown at resource control or regionalism(because it's always the SW and NORTH that always frown at it).

Those set of humans who re happy, we know them! They carry flat heads! Tomoro when they re not promoted to top govt positions because of their unpatriotic traits they will be screaming marginalisation! However those of us in the ND are sad over this development! Investors re running away to lagos state!

The last time I checked, the only people who frown at regionalism or resource control are the NW and NE, try to get your facts right please. Also it would be nice if we stop mixing political preferences with tribal affiliations and so on. That someone supports a particular political candidate does not mean the person must be from a particular tribe or region; that someone also does not support economic sabotage which will simply impoverish people and destroy the environment, that does not automatically mean the person is from any particular tribe or region, neither does it also mean the person does not support regionalism or resource control, let's stop getting these things twisted.

If the oil industry goes down, millions would be impoverished because all zones of Nigeria (every single zone) feeds on only oil. The evidence on the economy from the drop in oil prices is still very fresh on our minds. This is a very bad arrangement especially as Nigeria should have no business relying on only niger delta oil, but this is unfortunately the situation we have even in 2016. By blowing things up and killing the industry, the so called rich who we think we punish will not feel the impact one bit, the victims would still be the middle and lower class of society. It would be a very serious pestilence, we should be wary of the kind of things we tacitly support (for whatever reason).

tempest01:
Tonye the fight is for oil...oil in your backyard...you think if there was no oil the coys will be there in the first place?

There's no need trying to score points. The points will take you no where.

If they relocate, the oil will still be in the ground..assets for future generation....can you compare it to the gains now?

To solve the issue of militancy, the government should take steps to solve issues in the ND. Firstly, nobody should own oil blocs...it should strictly be operating companies.

Some re-education. Individuals dont own these oil wells.
Individuals and stake holders in the oil and gas industries own the OMLs. FYI, there are OMLs in the ND that are owned by companies floated by Urhobos, Itsekiris indegenes (this i know of with inside info (no need going into details). Instead of applauding the approach of this group, we should encourage wealthy indegenes of ND to equally bid these OMLs or at least run JVs with the present owners.

With the downturn in the value of crude oil in the international market, it will be cheaper to operate joint ownerships.
Wanton destruction of properties and investments in any form should be wholly condemned. There are a thousand and better way that the issue can resolved than resulting to violence.

Y̶̲̥̅̊ø̲̣̣̥ǖ have no inside knowledge. Stop pretending A̶̲̥̅̊Ω̴̩̩̩̥D̶̲̥̅̊ lying that Y̶̲̥̅̊ø̲̣̣̥ǖ KϞöω̲ what's going on. Y̶̲̥̅̊ø̲̣̣̥ǖ are J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊ƨ̣̣̣̇̇̇̇τ̣̣̥ an APC supporter from the Southwest that is afraid ☀̤̣̈̇f Buhari failing.

todayboy:

I don't need your education...it doesn't matter who owns these blocs as I have said, government should only get tenders from iocs not individuals owning oil blocs and subletting it...

I am against destruction of assets, I am also against injustice.

ganisucks:
The Pipelines will do. NDA are not a violent bloodsucking group like the Fulani Jihadist Herdsmen.

and you really think the bloodsucking politicians will be affected(do you know how long it takes to spend 1billion and these guys have stolen billions in dollars not naira.who you think go hungry first.when hunger gbab militants dem go confess

God bless you for this, to people rejoicing, it's all politics of bitterness. I grew up in Warri as a northern, I left there 2006, few years after I was told she'll had moved offshore, I was heartbroken, I knew what Warri would turn next, my old classmates all tell me, guy money no dey Warri again, shell don move.
I was in eket last year, I stayed in one hotel, I saw about 8 big hotels for a small town as eket akwa ibom state, the hotel manager said its because of ExxonMobil if not there won't be patronage.
No contract can be executed in eket by any contractor without taking a percentage of community workers, its a must. I'm sure those community workers would pray nothing happens to ExxonMobil because they need money. If ExxonMobil goes where do they start from.
There is always community issues in eket against ExxonMobil but it doesn't degenerate to violence, what they do is protest and stop ExxonMobil from working, after a week, they resolve and life continues.

Then what is a winning strategy? Let me speak to you 'humbly' - because I think we may be saying the same thing. One nauseating thing I've noticed with many people in Nigeria, is that every body knows how to criticize something, but only few offer good alternative. I tell you, there is no other feasible way for the NDELTANS voice to be heard except this way. If there is any please tell me. And dont come here to repeat to me this unworkable strategy of 'speak to your elected representatives and let them champion your cause'. Off course, you know that proposals is dead on arrival, because we don't have the critical mass in either chambers of the NA to make things work.

So I'm all ears to hear your workable strategy.

hit the governors commissioners senators reps assemblymen councillors chairmen party excos(10 per ward) and their wives(doubles your attack space) and their chudren(doubles again) parents and friends(more doubling)
nobody will tell them provide stomach and other infrastructure and empowerment.

that's for the militant

for you(non militant patriot),you need to go into politics(and change things directly if your mind still pure cos personally rice is not my problem(thank God) but i plan to share rice and amala,win election,thief moni(not eve steal),then share more amala(10%) then provide infra and superstructure(80%),i keep (10%) as my commission.hopefully it will force my rivals to also spend 90% of stolen money on voters) or form/join a (producing,producing i repeat producing not consumer or thrift)cooperative(agric or manufacturing)

Weather they ran or not, the good thing is that they are no longer fulfilling their obligations. If (assuming) they are supposed to be paying $10million to the federation account daily, with this devt they can no longer meet their obligations, which if u ask me - it doesn't matter weather they are on ground or not the most important thing to us is that the FG is no longer taking money from ND and giving them insults in return. Mbanu!

Some people say only those from the SE and SS are happy with this news, and my answer is why not? I'm from SE and I love this news. Who are those referred to as 5% by Buhari. Who are those who were against GEJ? I want us to always remember the law of Karma, now is a pay back time for the north and their slaves, and we the SE must make sure the revenge is served very cold to them, for them to have a taste of what it is like to be wicked.

The north had taken the Souh for granted for a long time, yeah they've gotten a willing accomplice due to the cowardice of the Yorubas, but the SE and SS will teach them that in the south while you can mess with the Yorubas and even impose your religion and emir (govt) on them, you dare not try that with the better south otherwise sorry will be your name.

So yes I support NDA 100%.
