Oil this, Oil that, our Oil. Hope you all know that large scale of mining operation took place in Colonial northern Nigeria which revenue was used in laying railway .

I hope Oil is found cuz a failed exploration took place about 20yrs ago in Bauchi State. Shell had in 1999 drilled the first well in the Kolmani River-I but according the Anglo Dutch oil giant the amount of hydrocarbon found was not commercial.
I see Oil Mining heavy equipment Transport passing Jos everyday North bound. PMB was at the site launch in February this year.
Children of hate would not like this

most people are actually praying that the North should find oil. Maybe they will allow others to live in peace.

President Buhari is a Northern leader no doubt and why he is bent spending billions on oil exploration there is not explainable to a nationalist mind as history will judge him that his decision on this escapade is not born out of a true Nigerian but as a tribalist leader.we are not impressed.

Group Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, (NNPC), Dr. Maikanti Baru, has said oil exploration in the North would continue until the commodity is found. Native Reporters has learnt.

Baru said this would enable the NNPC do massive appraisal of the discovery of gas reserves, made in 1999 in the region.

The NNPC GMD, who was in Kaduna for the 40th edition of the Kaduna International Trade Fair, said the Corporation is working on the Kolmani River 2; with optimism and high expectation. He said President Muhammadu Buhari had personally urged the Corporation to go back to exploration on the Kolmani River 2 Well, and that drilling has been going on smoothly. He said that as at Wednesday morning, the Corporation has dug 10,075 feet deep well with a target to reach 14,270 feet exploration.

 “The main purpose of this well is to start some massive appraisal of the discovery that was made way back in 1999 of some gas reserves in Kolmani River 1 and, so far, the drilling has been going on smoothly to enable exploration.

“We will do the needful. If we need to probe any particular section, we will take our time to do it.

“Our target date is to see that by the end of May, we complete exploration on that particular well and move to Kolmani River III, which site is almost ready for the rigs to move there and from there, we move to other locations,” he said.

Earlier, the GMD said that provides an opportunity for stakeholders and long term exhibitors like NNPC to take stock of their participation through the years, with a view to consolidating on areas of strength, while working on avenues for improvements.

Dr. Baru said the loss of agriculture to crude oil exploitation has retarded local industries that feed on agricultural produce as feedstock, prominent among which were the textiles industry, as well as tanneries in the North.

Meanwhile, Baru has said there were no plans to increase the price of petroleum products for now.
He said even though there is an agency saddled with the responsibility of fixing petrol price, President Muhammadu Buhari has said there would be no increase in the pump price of petroleum products for now.

In the last four decades, the NNPC has invested about $3billion in crude oil exploration activities in northern Nigeria. However, the investment has failed to yield any positive dividend, as the state-owned oil firm is yet to strike hydrocarbons in such commercial quantity for exploitation activities to commence. While some Nigerians see the continuous investments in the search for crude oil deposits in the north as a waste, those in favour of the search remain optimistic.

People of Northern Nigeria forget crude oil exploration in the north face your God given Agriculture.

No just answer me, are you well

Do you know libya has boundries with the mediterian sea...
Iraq is bordered in the south by UAE and kuwait and Iraq extends to the persian Gulf... And Iraq oil is found in this region, just like naija oil is found in the south not in the desert part of nigeria which is the north

And you want to compare it with barren northern Nigeria is a Desert land...

Infact you are not well, am sure. Go get medic


You are the sick person here, do you even know the processes that have to be undergone before crude oil extraction?



You are just another frustrated pauper that doesn't know anything on how to locate crude oil site.

Decree 13 of 1970 fixed revenue derivation at 50/50 between states and the federal government.

At least you are sensible enough to quote decree 13 of 1970 unlike the semi nincompoop shouting 50% in the regional government at a time her father was probably in diapers.

However, decree 13 of 1970 adopted a revenue allocation formula on the basis of 50% on equality of states and 50% on population, retaining derivation only on onshore exploration, that didn't favour producers if you understood the composition of the quasi federation account we operated then.
Cumulatively, apart from the fact that oil production was relatively small, that 50% was far less to what was obtainable in the central purse at the time.

Because if they had oil, NOTHING will keep Nigeria as one..they would have seen themselves as another Saudi, Qatar, and the rest. no room for infidels.

You are right 100%! If the North had the oil like what we have in the south today, No Southerner will be allowed close to it. Shame on the Southerners selling the region for a pittance
