We-Yorubas are not stupidd when it comes to adminstrative skills/things like oil drill and all that associate with it. Heaven can bear me a witness on the fact that Yorubas would be on top of the situation.

We are excellently gifted in all ways.

Give us(Yorubas) Nigeria economy without interference from any quarter to run for a year and see how the standard of living of Nigerians would improve speedily.

Lagos State is set to join the league of oil producing states in the country come next year as the joint venture partners on the Aje Field offshore Lagos have taken the final investment decision on the exploration of the field.

A group led by Yinka Folawiyo Petroleum Company Limited took the FID to develop the first phase of the Aje shallow water oil field for $220m.

The aim of the first phase is to produce 10,000 barrels per day of oil from two target wells in the Oil Mining Lease 113 area. A re-entry of Aje-4 will form the first producer, while drilling of Aje-5 is expected to be the second.

The plans include the use of Rubicon’s Front Puffin floating production, storage and offloading vessel, which produced oil from the Puffin field in the Timor Sea. The vessel will be brought up to specification soon, while the procurement of subsea equipment and the contracting of a drilling rig are progressing.

The Aje field’s first stage is scheduled to be brought on stream at the end of 2015.

“We believe that this development is good for Nigeria generally because our reserves base has not increased over the years as expected, because the international oil companies are not ready to invest since the Petroleum Industry Bill has not been passed,” an elated Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Lagos State, Mr. Taofiq Tijani, told our correspondent.

Yinka Folawiyo is the operator with 25 per cent interest in the field. The partners are Vitol, 24.05 per cent; First Hydrocarbons Nigeria Limited, 16.875 per cent; Energy Equity Resources Limited, 16.875 per cent; Panoro Energy ASA, 12.19 per cent; and Jacka Resources Limited, five per cent.

The JV partners had in January 2014 submitted the Field Development Plan for the Aje field to the Department of Petroleum Resources. The FDP was approved in March and is primarily focused on the development of the Cenomanian oil reservoir.

The FDP envisages first oil commencing in late 2015 with mid-case reserves of 32.4 million barrels.

The first phase of development includes two subsea production wells tied back to a leased FPSO. These wells will most likely comprise the re-completion of the existing Aje-4 well and a new well drilled close to the Aje-2 subsurface location.

In addition, further potential on the block is being defined following the 3D seismic acquisition across both OPL 310 and OML 113.

Lagos State had last year established its oil and gas company following the passage of a bill that sought to establish the Ibile Oil and Gas Corporation.

The bill was to authorise the state government to invest and engage in oil and gas activities.

Let me break it down for you.

After the war, the rehabilitation of Ibo was sponsored by Yorubas. Yorubas took great care and self sacrifice, we bent backwards and accomodated Ibos far above the accomodations given to you anywhere else and by any other group.

In essence, when we build a new shopping complex funded by our state, where situation demands that we give 70% of the stalls to propser Yoruba trade and commerce, we gave the 70% to Ibos instead, and we were left to share 30% with other ethnic groups.

When we admit children into schools and is only 200 space available, we reserved 100 or more for the poor people from East.

Everywhere in Yorubaland there were prosperity and people were partying every weekend.

In 1980 Yorubaland, the cost of aso ebi + food + gifts + chair, table and tent rentals + drinks, for one person for just one party already will feed five Ibo families. Thats how much Yorubaland was awash in prosperity. On average, one person attends three parties on Saturday...thats three aso ebi and all the other cost factors times three! This is not adding the cash in pocket that they spray on the dance floor!

So all the costs associated with hosting and attending a single party anywhere in Yorubaland when tallied, is enough to feed an Ibo village for a week or more.

In fact at those parties, guess who were the people lined up and begging for amala? Ibos and their nylon bags. They pack food home and store for feeding their children till next Saturday. They scoop up left over and everything they can find.

So in such a state of enrichment we saw Ibos as a disadvantaged class of people that Yorubas should pity and help advance.

If you go to North, all the Ibo properties abandoned over there in the war are converted to Hausa ownership. The Hausas in turn blocked Ibo from building new houses when they returned after the war, thereby turning them into tenants in houses they abandoned just few months prior. Also when Hausa built shopping complex located within proximity of their city walls, they block access to Ibos, and if the complex is in Sabon Gari they first reserve a high percentage to themselves and give rest to Ibo. Even the percentage of stalls reserved to Hausa they turn around and sub lease to Ibo.

Now, let's go to Port Harcourt. .... After turning Ibos out and confiscating their properties then they subjugated Ibo to third class citizen on their soil.

So everywhere you go in Nigeria, the only people who took Ibo out of their under priviledged social class and tried to push them up to self dependency was Yoruba.

We thank God, today Ibo is self dependent! We the Yorubas can beat our chest and brag on doing a darn great job and a succefful one as is evident on where you are today socially.

We pioneered Nollywood.
We pioneered public media, tv, radio, print.
We pioneered music entertainment
We pioneered city and urban dwelling
We pioneered savings and loans (eesu and ajo)

.....as you can witness, Yorubas are at a point we recognize you are no longer under priviledged or disadvantaged, you are self dependent now.
So guess what Yorubas must now change the social policies to reflect the realities on the ground.

The call for MoryWood is part of that conscience to abandon Ibo and the legacy we created for you in Nollywood so we can focus now on self evolution, bringing the memory of our ancestors and legends to cohabit in our spirit as we trudge on with the rest of humanity waiting to receive and appreciate the contributions from our pioneering culture.

Chew on this!!!

OneNaira6:
I'm still trying to fathom why this thread is deemed as a gang up against north and SW.
Are people seriously kidding me with that ish? Where or what in OP original post gave such suggestions. Are people f2king serious? Una are that afraid of a SS/SE unity seriously? Smh at the hypocrisy.

@topic.
I don't trust the OP one bit and based on his past utterances he's nothing but a hypocrite. But that does not mean, I do not agree that SS and SE need to work together if we actually ever going to achieve our desires. It was my best friend, an ibibio that opened my eyes in terms of all gang ups against SS and SE. For some una, it was this past election that cleared una eyes but there were some of us that was enlightened prior to the election. All the election did was prove my believes once more. I've always maintained SS and SE need eachother to achieve whatever they desire. If we stop pushing against eachother, stop fighting against eachother we can achieve greatness. I'll use my people for example. For years now, delta north have tried numerously to obtain the governorship of Delta and for years, our work has been in vain. It was a year or was it two years ago we allowed SE Igbos to put a voice in our fight. Though they didn't invade delta governorship, they spoke up multiple times about it and from what I heard, it was Peter Obi that pushed for a deltan northern to be PDP flag bearer. How accurate that is, I'm not sure. Just a rumor that my cousin told me. Anyway, in the short period of them getting involved, a task we sort for years has finally become a reality.

What did that teach? It thought one voice can never achieve anything. The more people you have in your circle pushing for the same agenda, the more likely it's going to become a reality. That is something north learned and worked on hence when MB where showing signs of breaking off from the "united north", they worked deliberately to appease them and bring them back in the fold.

We needed eachother to survive in that country and I laugh that both regions, SS and SE, allowed others to create a rift between eachother and continue pushing that rift till well this election cleared una eyes.
You allowed others to constantly narrate to you how both of una "hated" eachother, don't have the best interest for eachother, and trying to steal from eachother yet you all have lived next to eachother for centuries with barely any conflict, intermarried with eachother till the point many of your cultures are mixed yet you allowed outsiders to tell you about your own neighbors? Smh!!!.
Funny enough those same neighbors have no regards for una. They claim to save SS oil from the greedy SE Igbos yet ironically every oil plots in SS is not owned by a SS and likewise the same for SE except maybe 3 or 4 igbos. They told you SE Igbos they love you more that your SS neighbors and even your SS igbo brothers yet they kill you and even spread fiticious rumors about you in order to damage una names.
I swear, I'm shocked it took both of una this long to actually realize you have no friends in that country and the way your ancestors lived was the RIGHT F2king way.

If we actually serious about this whole unity thing then una need to start from within ourselves.
SS ethnic groups needs to stop attacking and killing eachother over little things. SE need to stop with the state vs. State mess. You all f2king igbo for Godsake. You would think it's the Igala in Anambra and idoma in enugu that'll be getting you all discrimination due to their tribal differences but No, you all are attacking your own selves based solely on states. In my opinion, fixing SS and SE indigenous mentality is first thing to do in this "unity" if you all are truly serious of advancing both regions into one of the most developed in Africa. Both region have the potential, it just when do you ppl plan on unlocking it is the question right now.

LAGrejectIBO:
What you just described is not a negative and neither is it a derogatory of Yoruba race. Nollywood and all its intrigues is new to other cultures in Nigeria but to the Yorubas we have been there, done it and saturated it.

When it comes to theater and cinema, you are not in the class or rank of those who hold pedigree to make critical contributions to the pioneering instincts of Yoruba magic and drama. Suffice to share with you an entry in Encyclopedia Brittanica which chronicles that Yoruba has been in theater since 1944 and our women have been on stage, in studios and on screen since 1946. Now beat that!

rudedough:
I am not trying to be tribalistic but let's be truthful to ourselves. Yorubas cannot successfully run an enterprise because they cannot see the opportunities around them. I've come to realize that they can only tap into existing opportunities (i.e steal other people's business ideas). Sometimes they thrive, but most of the time they run down the already successful industry with their incompetence and lack of vision.

Let's compare Nairaland and Linda Ikeji blog for example. Nairaland has been existing for many years before Linda Ikeji blog started but see where Linda Ikeji is right now while Se.un still lives with his parents. Se.un diversified into celebrity gossips and also adopted advert placement on his "Nigeria No: 1 forum" only yesterday after Linda Ikeji bought her 3rd car, a 2014 Range rover Evogue (i.e Se.un stole Linda's business model).

MoryWood or whatever you choose to call it will be a failure whether you like it or not because there is no existing UcheWood blueprint to steal from. Like me or not, i will always stand for the truth whether it is pleasant or unpleasant, and please don't quote me because i won't reply.
