I know president osinbajo is trying to appease the raging rage of the Niger delta no wonder his recent visit to the region but relocating headquarters is no good idea the Niger delta militant might just take advantage of it if you know what I mean MODIFIED I THINK IF SUFFICIENT SECURITY IS PROVIDENT PROVIDENT THE COMPANIES CAN BE RELOCATED 62 Likes 4 Shares |

This decision will backfire, but this also highlights Osibanjo's good intentions for every tribe in the nation I said it will backfire because one day, sooner or later some ediots will have something to be angry about, and they'll destroy said facilities, loot it and kidnap workers That's why they did since the beginning, that's why everybody left the region The marafakas will start kidnapping and bombing stuffs again 54 Likes 5 Shares |

Osibanjo is the real deal oh!!!! If this man continues like this, he will make all the difference all previous leaders have failed to make. The problem in Nigeria largely is a situation where the two largest tribes want to forcefully dominate and subjugate other tribes and they only way seen fit to do this is to prevent any factors of development from going to other places. Osibanjo has put 1 billion Naira towards Ibaka seaport. That's impressive. My plea to the two major tribes is for them to give Osibanjo all the support he needs. It's funny how the most vocal supporters of Osibanjo right now are actually The South South and the South East. 84 Likes 10 Shares |

edoboy33: I doubt if you know what you mean. Silicon Valley is what it is today because of the concentration of blue chip companies close to their source of labor and material. The militants are restive because someone refuse dialogue and prefers breaching agreement. The Niger Deltans are veryyyyyyyyy simple and hardworking people. Speaking up for their due right is what earned them the "militant" title. With the various headquarters located their it makes it easier for company and community dialogues and eliminates the usual bureaucracy that prolongs talks. Mind you, the said environment gets polluted by their operations so it is fair for them to join in experiencing first hand the plight of the people. I greet you. 127 Likes 4 Shares |

The restiveness and the anger in the Niger delta states and the old eastern region as a whole has its roots in neglect and cheating to be blunt. Relocation of the HQ of these companies to the areas where they cart their primary products is just one amongst the many things wrong with "Nigeria". Ibaka deep seaport should have been up and running a long time to serve the business needs of Eastern citizens. 18 Likes 1 Share |

PapaBrowne: Crap. You two-faced and double-speaking lots are only out to blackmail Osinbajo's kinsmen with your insincere praises so we ain't buying it. Already your folks have been opening threads upandan disparaging Osinbajo's tribe as being treacherous for supporting his policies and misinterpreting that to imply that they have 'betrayed' Buhari, while in the same breath you are here saying the opposite by claiming he doesn't enjoy Yoruba support. We know that when push comes to shove you lots will form deliberate amnesia and still accuse the same Osinbajo/Yorubas of some conspiratorial agenda to marginalize Una, irrespective of what Osinbajo or any or his kinsmen say or do regardless. 42 Likes 5 Shares |

Tompolo and co from the onset are offsprings of a genuine struggle but got compromised along the line. Same old divide and rule principle. Give Mr A lots of fire power to keep G-Z in place.

Oil companies are private ventures and as such the Owners site the head office where ever they feel is suitable for the purpose. Government has little or no power over this issue. Another thing to consider in location choice of companies is funding, Oil companies would like to have their head office where they could easily contact Banks for funding projects. Security situation in Niger-delta region is too volatile and no reasonable investors would site Its head office in such region. Likely defence these companies would put up are the following: 1. Major Investments of these companies are in deep offshore which falls under federal government claims and no state can claim(Oil companies workers can throw more light to this) 2. Security situation would make them to maintain a skeletal offices in ND 3. Government has no right to tell them where to site their offices as non-governmental organizations. But let`s see what happens. 18 Likes 2 Shares |
