I detest any form of independent Igbo nation that includes non Igbos and only ignorant Nigerians keep talking about crude oil outside Igbo land being sought by the Igbos because such people do not know that majority of the oil wells in Nigeria (outside those offshore out there in the Atlantic ocean) are in Igbo lands whether in the present day South East or parts of the Igbo lands in Rivers state for example. Any non Igbo from the South South that keeps talking about the Igbos wanting their crude oil is suffering from gross ignorance. Interestingly, the future is gas and not crude oil. The fact that NLNG is making huge returns when crude oil prices are very low is a pointer to this fact and guess what? Anambra state is sitting on a huge gas reserve and when exploited will make nonsense of the crude oil Nigerians are chasing up and down and killing others for. An independent Igbo nation has everything (human and natural resources) it needs to become a progressive nation. The first operational headquarters of Shell was in present day Imo state and the crude oil in Imo, Abia and Anambra states is enough for the Igbos while the coal in Nigeria can provide constant electricity for the entire region apart from the fact that you can produce fuel from the same coal by forcing hydrogen on coal (hydrogenation process) and that is if you are not interested in building a strong steel industry by combining coal (from Enugu) with iron ore (from Ebonyi). The Igbos don't need a single drop of crude oil from non Igbo lands!!! I have noticed that non Igbos are mainly the people giving themselves headaches concerning the Igbos and how they can survive on their own. Unfortunately, such people are busy thinking about the Igbos instead of them to be worrying about things like poverty, religious fundamentalism, prostitution, armed robbery, joblessness, boko haram etc in their own backyards.

Let he who has ears hear.

Quite aptly put.
Ever wonder why Nigeria still can't produce and distribute electricity, something that tiny African countries do quite easily?
As for threatening truth speakers/seekers, my quote says: Your oppressor counts on your cowardice to remain in business.
When everybody understands that NO ONE is safe from an oppressive system, peace will come.
Justice precedes peace.
An unjust system cannot endure.

Nigeria is a business venture, not a nation.

No amount of prayers will render peace upon Nigeria; only truth and justice will do that.

Anambra With proven gas reserves in excess of 187 trillion cubic feet and about 600 trillion cubic feet of unproven reserves, Nigeria is said to be more of a gas nation than an oil nation.

Natural gas is an ingredient used to make fertilizer, antifreeze, plastics, pharmaceuticals and fabrics. It is also used to manufacture a wide range of chemicals such as ammonia, methanol, butane, ethane, propane and acetic acid. Many manufacturing processes require heat to melt, dry, bake or glaze a product. Natural gas is used as a heat source in making glass, steel, cement, bricks, ceramics, tile, paper, food products and many other commodities. Natural gas is also used at many industrial facilities for incineration. Oil & Gas and Pipeline Industry Use Companies that produce and transport natural gas are also consumers. Transporting natural gas through pipelines requires compression stations to keep the gas pressurized and flowing through the pipeline. Many of these compression stations use natural gas as a fuel. Many oil refineries use natural gas for heating and power generation. Natural Gas as a Vehicle Fuel Natural gas has an enormous potential for increased use as a vehicle fuel. The main barriers to this have been the short range of the vehicles, limited refueling options, and slow refueling times. However, over the past few years refueling station prices have dropped to just a few hundred dollars and these can be placed in residences where the vehicles can be refueled overnight or between trips. Since about half of all residences in the United States are supplied with natural gas the potential to increase the number of natural gas vehicles on the road is very high. In addition, the discovery of natural gas in shale deposits around the country

But the figures (187 TCF, and potential 600 TCF) are for the whole of Nigeria.

Orlu — THE Imo State Commissioner for Petroleum & Environment, Chief Steve Ahaneku has said that the State has gas reserve in excess of 7.8 trillion SCF, which he disclosed are deposited in Oguta, Ohaji/ Egbema, parts of Izombe, Owerri Municipal and other areas of the State. Chief Ahaneku, who stated this during the 2011 LG International Gas Roundtable & Expo themed, "Gas to Wealth" organized by his Ministry at Concorde Hotels, Owerri noted that the present State Government under Owelle Rochas Okorocha is fully committed not only reducing gas flares but paving way for private and public initiatives to gear towards the reduction and final elimination of the flaring. While saying that it would create job opportunities and enhance economic benefits to all the communities in the State, the Commissioner contended that the Governor is poised to make Imo State a gas hub in Nigeria. He also divulged that the State Government has plans to create an environment that would enable the utilization of natural gas, produced in the State, generate products like electric power, fertilizer, gas-to liquid, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) CNG for vehicles fuels and other products. He said that the purposes of the Gas Roundtable were to evolve pragmatic gas policy, promote gas investments, showcase the gas potentials, build investors confidence in the State and engage and interact with business community and investors. Ahaneku further expressed that the State has developed a Draft Gas Utilization Policy adding that plans are equally underway to sign a gas concession agreement between Imo State Government and Nigerian Gas Company. "This will ensure the availability of gas for investors, who intend to invest along the gas-value chain. The core gas-related investment areas in the state include: Power Transport Pipeline, gas processing plant, fertilizer and petrochemical plants, gas-to- liquid plants and PG processing plants among others", he emphatically stressed. http://allafrica.com/ stories/201112070808.html

I like so much the fact that there are igbos in dz 2 regions SS and SE.
Igbo land is blessed.

And what would the Ogun Ijebu and Ondo people do with large deposit of GAS if the OP believes only the SE is most viable when it comes to GAS exploration and exportation !!!

that one concern una, its not our business. mind yours and stop intruding our thread.
