Don't tell me what I know already
"Tantita" is who exactly?
You didn't see "as a contractor to Tantita"?
Or you think that statement will be issued without tompolo's stir?
Tantita is not Tompolo idiot. Many people are involved in Tantita. Can only Tompolo secure the entire Niger Delta?
Or you think only one person will get the contract to secure all the pipelines in Nigeria Delta.
The thread is about Soboma Jackrich, a Rivers man and his position on the current feud between between Wike and Fubara. What has Tompolo got to do with it. Is Tompolo from Rivers State?

Tompolo did the right thing by distancing himself
Nobody in Nigeria will ever do otherwise seeing that the government has really favored him.
He was with the Ijaws fighting oppression, now he has been settled with billions contract, if any fight breaks out, he will be with the government fighting the ijaws

You don't have to curse him, that's the reality of life. To a large extent every human on earth is selfish. The moment you realize this, you will die the thoughts of being a hero for any reason
This is not Tompolo

CrimeRe: NAFDAC Arrests Man For Producing Fake Alcohol In Port Harcourt by ThothHermes: 6:14am On Mar 06, 2025
MrBanner:
Anthony Chidi, an Ikwerre man from Port Harcourt, is now an Igbo man because he was caught faking alcohol. But Nyesom Wike, Chibuike Amaechi, and other prominent ikwerre people are not. This is the logic of an average janjaweedian APC nairaland urchin
I hate all comments that have to do with tribalism but if I were to place a bet, I'll bet that this guy is from the South East. Ikwerre people typically don't display this type of industry.
The business people in Port Harcourt are mostly South Easterners.

BusinessRe: Folorunso Alakija Loses Sight Completely - Sahara Reporters by ThothHermes: 9:29am On Mar 04, 2025
Konquest:
@Thoth.Hermes,

That's a very good observation and question. Back in the day right up to the 1990s, the technology for deep offshore exploration had NOT become advanced OR even come into existence, so, the big IOCs (international oil companies) operating in Nigeria were reluctant to take on deep offshore oil blocks or acreages such as the OPL126 acreage which is located 100 kilometers from the nearest land out into the Gulf of Guinea, and it's 1.4 kilometers deep into the ocean! It's just like gold and diamond prospecting back in the day (1800s) of the "Wild Wild West" in the United States where people just dug anywhere WITHOUT knowing whether they would find gold nuggets or diamonds. NOT all oil blocks end up being commercially viable and the owners lost money from the initial phase of oil exploration and prospecting. The Nigerian-American, Kase Lawal (and others) ran into brick walls with his own oil block and didn't find oil and gas of "commercial quantity." Mike Adenuga of Consolidated Oil (Conoil), Authur Eze, the late High Chief Lulu Briggs of Moni Pulo, Alhaji Indimi, Alakija's Famfa Oil, etc, were just fortunate to strike oil in the deep offshore. So, it's a VERY risky business.

This is the risky OPL 126 oil block acreage that Famfa Oil was allocated back in 1993, so, it was a VERY risky gamble and venture that Mr Modupe Alakija the senior lawyer and Chairman of Famfa Oil and Mrs. Folorunso Alakija (a former banker with the investment bank, IMB in Lagos) and the Vice Chairperson of Famfa Oil took back in 1993. It eventually paid off for Famfa Oil and their other foreign technical partners and 5 painful years later in 1998, with improved or advanced 3D E&P technologies, the FIRST EVER evidence of proven oil reserve was found in OPL 126. It was NOT until 2008 that Famfa Oil and their foreign technical partners started drilling crude oil from OML 127 (Agbami Oilfield) located 100 kilometers away from land, far out into the ocean at a huge depth of 1,400 meters or 1.4 kilometers! So, things were and still are painfully complex in the oil and gas industry and NOT as simple as some laymen or people who have NEVER worked in that oil sector think it is.

By the way, Famfa Oil pays several huge taxes to the Federal Government in Nigeria and has been involved in a lot of charitable causes and developmental projects so it's unkind for anyone demonize and assume that the owners and many other oil block owners are NOT giving back to the Nigerian society. You can see the list of some projects Famfa Oil has been involved in right in my post just ABOVE this post.

I hope that helps.

Cheers.


P.S. I just checked your profile pic, which of the trading exchanges is that huge trading screen (with charts on it) located? That screen is the BIGGEST I've ever seen.
What Malali is saying is that no bank would have offered loans worth millions of dollars for explorations whose viability was unknown. He also said that Chevron would not have forked out huge sums for exploring those fields if preliminary studies did not show they were viable.
Truth is we may never know for sure. History is always written by conquerors.

PS: It' just a picture I downloaded from the Internet. I think it's AI-generated.

What the hell. She ordered another jet so they won't fly on the same plane, reducing their chances of dying at the same time in the event of a mishap.
Ultra rich people do that.
How did you infer DV from that sentence?

Malali you're making a lot of sense. Why would they spend millions of dollars to explore an oilfield that was "useless" unless they already had prior knowledge of its viability.

This oyinbo people are just ungrateful sometimes.

Even if you want to criticize your player, do it in private.

Talk to him one on one, don't just go to a press conference and start criticizing your star player publicly.


Anyone can miss a Penalty.

Messi have missed a penalty.

C. Ronaldo have missed a penalty.

Hazard have missed a Penalty.

Neymar have missed a penalty.

Mbappe have missed a penalty.

Kane have missed a penalty

Anyone can miss a Penalty.

This is a player that won a Europa League for you.

I hope this won't affect Lookman confidence.
Make we hear word. If you're not the designated penalty taker and you insist on taking it in such a crucial game, then you MUST score. The criticism is justified.

And he did not win anything for them, he was just one member of the team that won.

You are wrong. Some states are considered "educationally less developed" and students from those regions may get admission with lower scores.
