The so called South South and Niger Delta can now see how foolish they have been. Very soon the North will be championing secession and you guys will be on the other end of the stick. Abuja plus oil in the north nails you guys finally.
This is where the problem lies - mediocrity. Do you realise that Abuja is not even an A-class city. Abuja lacks a standard transport infrastructure, including many other trappings of an A-class city. Why do you think it is a bargain chip? A number of South African cities trounce Abuja even in this. let me tell you this, the areas south of Nigeria will for ages be steps ahead of the others.

There is vast amounts of unproven deposits in the Benue basin but is Benue really part of the north .if oil is found in the Benue Basin I fear the Hausa FULANIS eliminate the peaceful minorities of the middle belt and lay claim to their land

I EXPECT YORUBA GOVERNORS TO DO THE SAME. BUT THEY PREFER DOING OWAMBE.

THE NORTH THINK THEY ARE SOLVING MILITANCY WHEREAS THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN THEY BRINGING THE BRITISH TO BOKO HARAM ENVIRONMENT. THE BRITISH FIRMS SHOULD BE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM SECURITY OR ELSE THE MONEY MEANT TO PAY THEM WILL BE USED FOR PAYING THEIR RANSOM

negative Sir
it seems you don't know the "heart" of men!
this oil if discovered will only be for their "own" good
if ND with OIL in their backyard can be frustrated to the point of agitation and secession,
what makes you think "others" will benefit.
hmm. ..I was just hoping sha ...since the yorubas have chosen to evade restructuring maybe they can form a good ally with the north and share their oil....

What if oil is discovered in sambisa

Appleyard:
You simply don't get it. If today oil is discovered in the north, it is then you will know the difference between a Hausa man and a Fulani man, a Tiv man from Jukun... In fact, such a discovery will immediately usher in the much craved resource control brouhaha and the fight for the entrenchment of true and fiscal federalism.

I can't help but fast and pray that oil should miraculously surface somewhere in the north, then people would see the reality: what goes around will then come around.
If Niger Republic and Chad Republic sharing the same borders with Northern Nigeria have oil, discovering oil in North is far from being a miracle but logoical

Call me whatever but be sure this will happen. If oil is found in the North, the north will secede. Abuja will be their capital. That time you in the south will be the ones asking them not to secede.
You are very funny. Lack of information breed fear. Stop being afraid. Abuja is a village compared to cities that are about to emerge.
30 years ago the present china and Dubai was nothing to write home about.

Abuja will become subject of negotiations cos it's the federal capital and not a northern state.

Their oil you say huh I don't want to call you a clown but you need to realize there are major international oil companies involved in ND who would have to decide on whose side they'll belong cos as investors recouping their investment is paramount.
Just like Lagos state too right? grin

Actually you are not right there. The SW has had its regional development company since 1976. Lagos state formally joined the group in 2016 http://oduainvestment.com.ng/

Is that what you think?lol
If the northerners wants to be ahead of the southerners then they should invest on something better because looking at next 30-50yrs from now the so called oil will not be such an asset afterall.Be wise.
Re: Northern Governors Hire British Firm To Prospect For Oil by jakiedudu(m): 6:01pm On Aug 15, 2016
Currently praying for north to discover oil in large quantities so that other regions can go their seperate way in peace. Nigeria is too diverse religiously, politically, economically and ideologically to be a nation.

Have you forgotten they call it no man's land? I'd love to see the day they try to claim Abuja.

God bless our past leaders for designating Lagos in the West and Abuja in the North as capital cities which has led them to develop into modern mega cities.

I bet you when it happens, the South South and Niger Delta will be the ones championing Nigerian unity but it would fail because the North have played you out neatly. With Abuja as their capital city and their oil, you will be wriggling like a cut off tail of a wall gecko.
Let them find it abeg. To hell with Abuja. It wouldnt take forever to create a new city outta south. I just need this draining link wit north broken already. The crooked beggars wit growing unproductive population and death religion. I NEED U GONE cheesy

Lord Jesus please help northerners find oil so that this country will divide once and for all... and plss let south west go together with the north IJN Amen!!
Re: Northern Governors Hire British Firm To Prospect For Oil by isnovic(m): 6:15pm On Aug 15, 2016
...confirmed there is oil in the Northern Nigerian basins.
The question is when they will discover commercial find.

This will be good, as it will mean everyone comes to the table with a bargaining chip. And if they split they will soon discover that the geological play does not support the reservoir system in the Chad, Niger-Bida, NE basin as Nigeria is a big flush system which empties into the Niger Delta Basin.

That is why the Anambra and the Dahomey geologic play holds little finds.

To give you a better understanding, see the flow of the River Niger and Benue flow to estuaries in the South and particularly the SS.

Hahaha what is Abuja? with all the money squandered there, it still an average city. Go to capetown u wud think you are in Europe. As far as i know north has nothing apart from unproductive populace.

Re: Northern Governors Hire British Firm To Prospect For Oil by WOCKHARDI(m): 6:27pm On Aug 15, 2016
Assuming that this oil is discovered in the North, will it be for the North or for one Naijeria. Again, can any SE or SSoutherner own any oil wells there? Just wondering.

It's already a lost cause. They won't see any oil in there..

This country's over-fixation on oil is annoying, to say the least.
Re: Northern Governors Hire British Firm To Prospect For Oil by ngmgeek(m): 6:45pm On Aug 15, 2016
I wish them well. I will pray for them. But God's gift is God's gift. Period.

That's why you have skinny people who try to be fat but their prayers don't work. smiley

Actually, the North won't secede if oil is discovered....

They still need access to the sea for exporting their oil. Secession means that they pay a hefty amount in transit fees to transport the oil out of their territory.

And imports in the North would go up in cost....because of transit fees.
