Scavengers. Watch and see how long that continues. Thieves.

victorvezx:
Guy no come here dey shed tears. Dey talk like say una fit change anything. As far as Nigeria remain for hundreds of years, we go continue they take the oil from una land, and una no go do anything. Yimu, go bomb pipeline joor, na una talent be that.

mmsen:
People were campaigning for full federalism during GEJ's government as well.

Or have you already forgotten about the National Confab that GMB refuses to read?

People were complaining for 6years and he your Hero GEJ did nothing to re write the history for 6yrs why he was in power.But suddenly you want PMB to re write the history within 1 and half yrs in power.Sometimes I wonder how you reason. No worry PMB will also relocate the FCT to SS because it was also built with oil money.

Osehnetworld:
n u fink u just made sense?

Abeg! Try to use pidgin next time if u no fit write English well.

You threaten people and yet want them to relocate to the same place where dangers and threats often emanate from, is it not for the same reason these people run away from your locality? Business and investment are only done in atmosphere of peace and tranquillity. Violence chase development opportunities away. Oil companies don't need to have their headquarters in a place to bring development to those places. Their operational presence alone can attract secondary investments from auxiliary companies who depends on them for their existence. Let deltan people give peace a chance.

[quote author=SuperS1Panther post=48616414]I laugh in jukun.

Militants have started threatening investors they chased away from their land to relocate back.

Mobil chose SW because of the relative peace there and so shall it be until you learn to embrace peace as a means to conflict resolution. ....Your very stupid to have think that there is any State that is more peaceful and accommodating like Akwaibom in Nigeria.

olaric:
It's a tricky one sir, my worry is for those civilians living in the region. Whatever actions must be taken, must be in the interest of the indegenes and nothing else. Do you think the military or Nigerian government cares? Two wrongs will never make a right!

I know
And taking the violence to another region is also going to be disastrous
They could shut down all oil facilities instead of destroying them.
It could draw attention too

Shymm3xx:
You know my sentiment has always been consistent since after a year that I joined this forum and grasping what's going on in naij and the politics. I'm all for disintegration, confederation, regional government, federalism, and resource control.

However, the fact that some people are jealous of Lagos, despite the state itself not being healthy with the huge population it has to take from the other struggling states, is troubling. It's the smallest state in naij, yet about 1/8 of Nigeria's population live there. That's problematic since it gets less from the centre than most of the oil producing states, despite being the largest contributor by far to non-oil revenue.

So the relationship has to be symbiotic. If they want all oil companies to move to the SS - a fair deal would be for all SS folks in Lagos to move the other way, to help Lagos. Thus reducing the stress they're putting on the infrastructures there. Is that a fair deal?

So then all Yorubas should also leave the SS back to the SW.

That would be fair enough too.

OsuIbo:
Lol. Igbo boy claiming ibibio. Dangote is currently constructing the largest Oil Refinery, Petrochemical, and Fertilizer Plant in Lagos.

You openly celebrate whenever the avengers blow up pipeline in the the Niger Delta, but you still complain when investors relocate from the Niger Delta to the South West. Militancy and the threat of violence is not what is used to attract FDI.

Where will the crude oil for the dangote's refinery come from?

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/08/relocate-your-hqtrs-to-a-ibom-or-militant-group-warns-mobil/

Seven days to construct or rent or buy buildings for offices, move and or acquire more all office trappings, move and or recruit all necessary manpower etc etc. Isn't that brilliant. Awon werey.

izzou:
Of which nobody is going to implement it. What have we insisted on in this country that ever worked?

Am not saying violence is the solution, but with the kind of government we have, both past and present, there seem to be no other way.

The militants can champion that for everyone. It will work believe me

nwakibie3:
Where will the crude oil for the dangote's refinery come from?

Oh you don't know? Are you leaving in sahara desert? Dey there. I won't be the one to tell you. Go find out yourself where the oil will come from. By the way, why are you so full of hate?

These guys are funny, who relocates the hub of his business to an unstable region? The threats will only further estrange these companies. The best way to go about this is for the govonors to make the place conducive to do business this will include crushing militia groups. Most of these companies won't mind moving out of Lagos to an economical and security stable place until states can provide this I'm afraid no hope for investment.

Beadex1:
all this bla bla black will soon end.........so for ur carton mind yorubas are more superior than the south and if i may ask what important business do Mobil have in Lagos that tantamount to one here in Eket ....DONT worry time will tell

have been reading your comments and just can't help but ask, HOW OLD ARE YOU? Don't you have books to read? You are here arguing what you've no knowledge about with those old enough to give birth to you instead of being studious so you can have the right qualifications to work in one of these companies. Or is it the same SS were there is bombings and kidnapping that you want companies like MObil to site there HQ? Why? So you can easily have access to kidnap the members of staff? I don't blame you is the one that bought you that tecno fone you're using I blame.

HydrogenForest:

Fair deal. I will gladly take the tens of thousands of Yorubas in the SS in lieu of the millions of SS folks in Lagos and SW. A lot of job openings would be available for them to fill in the SW and those in the oil industry can always work in oil companies extracting oil from Lagos and Ondo. And perhaps in Itsekiriland.

So are you lot ready to move the other way with the oil companies? Lagos is tired of sheltering your destitute. The relationship has to be symbiotic - no one is a mug.

They want them to come back so they can commence their kidnapping business. Awon elebi.

AZeD1:
Nobody has threatened them in Lagos.
Only people alive do business.

Some years back, Shell didn't have an office in Lagos, their training school was in Warri and head office was moved from Lagos, to PH, as of today, they've reopened the office in Lagos and sold off all their assets in Warri.
I leave you to figure why that happened.

Don't mind them, very selfish people. Warri is so empty and dry now. How do they attract other companies with this kind of statement.

Adaure4ever:
so why do you want to share a country with those wey no go school?
You see ur hypocrisy, so you are calling South South people Ogogoro illiterates?

osu defending ur ijaw masters as usual,am nt suprised,keep hating on the westside,while we keep riding nd shinning

Beadex1:
this is long over due, how can host community be deprived of their right to access the company but everything about the oil companies are been navigated in lagos and controlled by another people.....a trip down to mobil platform Eket will show you that majority of workers there are from yoruba...should it be so? what about the IGR that those company are generating to another state nkor.....i do not know why everybody takes the Niger Delta as a fool...Enough of this shit.

Definitely YES, yorubas are very much employed ova der because yoruba tend to help their tribe in securing job there unlike the indigenes who are very very stingy.
The indigenes prefer d notion of giving fish instead of teaching their people how to fish.
NB: its not as if the indigenes dnt av slot but they prefer to sell the slot at a very high price. Few can afford the slot price.

since they don't want to site their headquarters in the region because of violence,they can as well go and drill the oil in the 'peaceful" lagos

Its not as if they are all illiterates but trust me majority of them are.
I have lived in Akwa-Ibom(Ibeno LGA near ExxonMobil) for close to a year, i can boldly say that even their young ones are lazy to d extent that they all wake and wait to share d oyel money(nonchalant altitude to education).
Hmmm, d females stil try their best in terms of farming nd fishing but the males der are xo xo expectant on free money claiming its their birthright.
Few of Akwa-Ibomites that are educated stil av something to show for it while the uneducated ones will be clamouring for free money which they av not worked for.
ExdonMobil has d full righ

I will always say this if Nigeria should break up, sw will have more FDI than any other.. U can't rule out internal crisis among all this other regions..

NB: ExxonMobil has d full right to situate their hq anywhr in the country and they surely have a reason 2 situate it in lagos per say. NDA pple ar very much ignorant because their top echelon community leaders share big excessive amount of money every week/month and they exclude the greater population who consist of the youths. D youths are jus used to protest, kidnap and likely make unnecessary trouble to cause unrest in d region as a whole.

You are missing something here whilst you talk of symbiotic relationship.

Are you now calling the SS a burden?

They have fed all your Yoruba states for many years now.

A lot of development in Lagos today is from sales of crude oil from their region.

dammiedot:
FYI
Most of the staffs in Eket are from AkwaIbom. Don't say what you don't know

you are very correct , i just shake my head at the ignorance,

juju infested demon where did you read ijaw on the article?

Don't you have shame?

You claim to be everything yet so scared of being on your own.

The funny thing I haven't read any comment condemning militancy...ya'll rationalising it.

If you're uneducated and unexposed then you're forgiven.

But if you're educated and exposed to daily happenings around the world yet support anything militancy then I can only smh 4 you.


So far how many groups do we have? How many leaders of these groups? When it started in libya they were hailing them today every group get their territory cos of disagreement over leadership the nation is shattered

Same with Syria, south Sudan numerous nations around the world.

If there's a consensus among the armed groups the people "suffer less" since it will be a dictatorship but if there's a disagreement then the people will "suffer tire"

South sudans Vp just fled the country with his family and closest associates...what about the thousands who his quarrel with the presido. Has killed? Didn't they deserve to live?

During another black nations war the opposition leader also fled with his family, what about the millions that died? Didn't they deserve a plane out of the area?

I am not wholly against seccessionism but ehn be led by the WISE... not the BRAVE

Kings rarely go to battle (or fight @ battles)

I end by urging the militants to banish asari-dokubo from the ND unless he brings his investments to the ND... why e run go benin republic to invest?

Sweetle:
Then drill your oil from state that has the serious minded people,no be so?

South South always thinking they can prosper on their own...they key people behind this struggle dnt really av d people's love @ heart. Trust me, their pocket is d main paramount thing to them not ur(NDA) uncalculative struggle.
I jus pity dem

JOREVA:
Lagos will now be collecting the PAYE Tax from the staff improving its IGR.

I stand with the militant on this!

While those customers who patronize the company are only restricted to your state shey? I laugh in Swahili.

olaric:
At the end of the day, it is the guys from the Niger Delta Region that suffer. Scaring away investors when states, regions and countries are wooing them is the most backward decision or step anyone can take in such a time as this.

yeye post, let them, we have billionaires who will invest, move away with your mind games, it won't work.

You go to another man's land, milk the land and invest the money elsewhere, pay taxes to another state, manage the company from another state, just because of bigoted political class, how many indigenes of the state are in Mobil Lagos. The oil blocs are still allocated to yorubas and northerns.

Do what is right and stop playing mind games it will not work.

From 1999, the state have done so many things to get them to build their Hq in akwa ibom and boost the economic activities in this region, you keep playing tribalism and think that there will be peace in this country.
