Why should Mobil comply? Bring thier headquarters to uyo or eket for what? Is the QIT terminal not enough, is Mobil not paying royalties, is mobil not paying the community elders, did mobil not pay 25bn naira for the oil spill that happened in 2012?
Mobil have a housing estate, Mobil guest house, Mobil airstrip, terminal, are this places not enough,

Let me ask why should mobil bring their headquarters to eket? Have you thought why they wouldn't?

Mobil has been in eket for the past 40years, nothing will make them bring thier headquarters to uyo talk less of eket.
Even the eket, isit eket, ibeno community are not asking for the mobil headquarters to sited in eket, this faceless militants should go and fish In the river

Thank you very much sir, God bless U xo xo good.
Imagine a typical village(Upenekang, Mkpanak, Esit Eket, Nsit Ibiom, Ona and Eket itself enjoys what cities dont have like good roads network, free stable electricity especially in the first two villages i mentioned earlier including renovated schools(free coastal bus ride benefits) and other monetary gains.

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.

tell them, every thing is controlled from Lagos, how will the owners of the land be regarded,


You won't try this poo in rivers state.

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.

You're a clown. More like they've fed all your Igbo and Northern states - while the rest made a lot of pilfering people rich.

Based on how utter poor Nigeria is (the index for emerging cities in Africa posted a few days ago showed how the income/population growth index alluded to how Nigerian cities are by far the poorest in Africa), the oil is actually inconsequential in the scheme of things. Yoruba fared better without your and Lagos alone has contributed far more revenue to Nigeria since independence, than all the SWern states have received from Nigeria during the same period. A cursory look across all SW states also adds credence to this.

And Lagos also shelters a large percentage of the SS population disproportionately. Evidently, for the relationship to be symbiotic - the siting of the headquarters of oil companies is a fair deal in exchange for that. Not trying to be rude but if you can't see that, your brain cells might need a reboot or an upgrade.

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.

yes, you use your politics and tribalism to deprive every region their right, if they have spoken in a language human beings understand and u refuse to listen, they are at will to use another language they choose fit. Get it …

listen to yourself who constructed those roads Mobil Abi or mobil turbines are connected to national grid, free rides for who, are you ok! money to who? you Need to see a doctor

The reason among others why the headquarters is in Lagos/Abuja is so the management of Exxonmobil can interface directly with government and buyers.
With the advent of technology, companies even outsource their HR to other countries! In the interest of peace, it wont be out of place for Mobil to move their administrative headquarters to Uyo from Lagos.

You shut up and stop telling us of cocoa era.

Yoruba states have been crying like other states in Nigeria due to the crises in the oil industry.

The only real functioning seaport in Nigeria today is located in Apapa Lagos and it was built by the FG using oil money.

Do you know how much that seaport has contribuited to making Lagos what it is today?

Stop telling lies. SS oil has been used to take care of every state in Nigeria including your Yoruba states.

Again, Lagos is what it is today because of the collective effort of all Nigerians and not just Yorubas.

Lmao at being rude, you can be as rude as you want but be sure that I can get as low as required.

Nuff said.

OsuIbo:
Mobil is a multi national company. They are after profilt and not concerned about your tribal tantrums. That the Mobil Platform at Eket is largely staffed by Yoruba simply means that the Yoruba are more qualified than others. You do not expect an IOC like Mobil to be after ethnic considerations inlieu of competence. Abi na militant wey dey drink ogogoro, wey no go school dem go employ?

You are a fool so there are no graduates in AkwaIbom?

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.

In ur mind now, u think you are making sense abi?
Is it by force to comment on a post?
When it gets down to where u are pushing issue now,will u come outside?
Come on?

cktheluckyman:
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

You see the way of peace even though it takes long to yield result, it is always the best way. I am not a tribalist, I am a Nigerian who just believe in and advocate for peace.

This is what happens when violence is used to solve issues

shut up dere, your grand parents did not tell you that Coacoa and Timber was once used to feed them? Mind you, it was also money from Coacoa that was used to develop Lagos you can search the Internet and stop being a dick

It's funny you are trying to reason with these guys. They simply need the headquarters relocated so that they can go back to kidnapping foreign expats. The kidnapping business has since slowed down due to the mass exudes of foreigners from the region hence daily sighting of new militant groups.

So it was cocoa money that was used to build Apapa seaport?

So it was cocoa money that was used to build 3rd mainland bridge?

So it was cocoa money that was used to build Federal palace hotel and others..


I don't blame you.

onespecial:
Yes, u are wooing foreign investors to come and damage their land and shift the goodies to Lagos and Abuja. Devilish people

the thing is, your people are very lazy people. they don't want to work. in Young6 voice, you too like free things.

Adaure4ever:
stop changing topic.
What a chamelon attitude.
You said that SS people are not that employed in oil company bcus they are illiterates, why denying ur word?
Why are you guys scared of South South controlling their oil resources?

control their own resources, which resources? na una get the oil? abi na papa GOD deposit am there? look you guys were just fortunate to be resided in the southern part of the country that's all. PMB self they slack, I for don clear any upstacles in the area.

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

So that you can begin to kidnap them, abi?

Asinine statements as this is why these guys will forever be looked upon as dregs. You kidnap them, molest their families and blow up their facilities, yet you want to make them setup their HQ in your community by force. That's brilliant, right?

Moreover, a company can site its HQ anywhere. Don't they have operational offices in the ND?

Silly people.

Goke7:
Mobil should even relocate their international headquarters from the US sef to Akwa ibom

Unserious bunch of fellows

Unserious fellows? Do to others what you want for yourself. The Nigeria politics will not remain the same for ever. The politics of keeping headqtrs and controlling employment. ....placing certain tribe in all things is temporary. I pray every state ... local govt and compound in Nigeria soon have their oil wells. I hope lagosians will be happy if the headqtr of the 4 wells.. 10 thousands barrels oil company is in kano state. Na wao for una

geraob1:
That the yorubas are more qualified than others is just a silly statement; in fact the most silly, I have seen all day. The only way u bastards progress is by stifling others economically and being tracherous. The problem with majority of you lots na just plain ignorance.

Mugu, you can direct your cries to Mobil a multi-national company who feel like having a higher proportion of Yoruba staffs than other Nigerians. Abi na Yoruba man get Mobil again or Yorubas went to protest to Mobil not to employ other Nigerians because that is what is implied in your idiotic assertion :" they progress by stifling others economically.. ". Your hate will only make Yorubas continue to soar higher. Before it was the shout of our oyel, when your oil in the SE is not up to what we have in the SW, with Lagos joining Ondo state. Ogun is next in line, while you continue your attache by force to the SS.

shut the heck up.......you tribalist blap.....i know the west as well as you do so reserve you energy......among the whole ND Akwa Ibom seams to be more peaceful yet the parasitic state that enjoys the priviledge of former nations capital felt they are there in merit...Technical training centre in Scotland is sited where the oil is produced......most of the oil companies in US are sited at Texas, in Paris go to montrouge , in Norway the same thing even at Canada is at Alberta......you dont have moral justification to spew about ND because you are directly a beneficiary .......There is no place that is as peaceful as ND oil companies have been in the region more than 50 years now instead of closing more are coming up e.g Chinopec that bought over Addax, so dont tell us about investors.......most of the international firms have been towing our line saying is not done like this in their side so stop being a key board judge....ND love strangers as well as investors we will never kill our investors.....it is injustice like this that make people to take drastic steps, Attah fought for this yet OBJ turn deaf ears but instead fought to return NIMASA and NPA from Abuja to Lagos who is fooling who....we are not pursuing people but we are fighting injustice....stop preaching that thrash of scaring investors through agitation........if it is through that medium investors will abandon the area so be it....Justice delayed is not justice denied.....put that to your skull....Mr sophisticated

You people ought to go and find jobs for the militants biko. The Mobil you are all shouting about is just one of the many firms no one thinks about in Lagos. The cosmopolitant nature of the city swallows corperate entities up so much that every one has to hustle hard for relevance. If they actually leave, it will actually do a lot of people many good and they will never be missed. I am sure their properties all around the city will have a lot of investors queuing up to acquire, so don't think it will be a huge unfillable void for Lagos.
In this age of green energy and all, oil is still titillating these folks, keep at it, your eyes will open soon.

I don't quite understand you. There's no mobil platform, Eket. There's an airstrip, and it's at least 60% manned by Akwa Ibomites. Qua Iboe Terminal (QIT) at Ibeno, is definitely 75%+ Akwa Ibomites.

I don't have issues with the company moving headquaters, but lets stick to facts when discussing this.

Mobil is a private company. you can't force them to do anything they are not willing to do. BTW violence is not the way to woo investors to the sate. you have to provide enabling environment.

Hypocrite is when OBJ as a president return NPA from Abuja to Lagos and refuse to relocate Oil firms from Lagos to producing areas....keep deceiving yourself......tell me the unrest recorded in a place like Akwa ibom and Cross River....dream well
