This is a reply to Quotasystem & progressive01 who believe that we are pained because oil is being discovered in the far north. These two should know that there are many ways to kill a rat. We all know that this shout of 'One Nijeriya' from the north everyday is because of crude oil and nothing more. It would be so nice to have every region control their own resources, make their own laws and have their own military. This way, if a region wants to implement full sharia law as requested by boko haram where they keep beheading people and chopping off hands, that is fine for them. If you are going there you should be ready to take whatever you get there. When each region has a standing military it would be very easy to finish off terrorists disguised as herdsmen. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

If the crude oil had been in the north as it has been in the south all these years the north would have expelled the southerners from Nigeria since 1900. In the north, you see a man get married to 4 wives, have like 25 children with no plans whatsoever for them. They will say it is Allah that gives children yet they are the ones that do the bedroom work. These children grow up as almajiris and become a ready recruit for terrorist organisations like boko haram. Apart from joining terrorists, these youths are always available to carry out unnecessary religious riots targeted at MB Christians & southerners. These ones go about killing, destroying properties and raping women just because of a cartoon done in faraway Denmark in Europe. It is so terrible being with these sort of people. 9 Likes |

I just hope with this discovery, they will be the ones that want out of nigeria. I dont think the north would want to share oil proceeds with the south 7 Likes |

It is not about population or oil, it is about the people that make up a nation. Look at Israel as small as they are yet all the arab world put together cannot face them in battle and win. They moved into a desert and transormed the place into a country we all desire to visit. Look at Germany that does not have a cup of crude oil yet is the most powerful economy in Europe and can do wonders militarily if they so wish. 7 Likes |

You can dream on. It's very shallow to expect that the North will agree to change the structure of governance just because it has discovered oil. The oil proceeds would simply go into the federation account/ECA and the benefit would be a (possibly higher)percentage of derivation paid to the oil producing northern states or the entire region, and possibly the setting up of well funded and more effective development agencies for the North like the NDDC in the South. Nothing is changing. Nothing will be 'restructured' and nothing is breaking up. The military remains the same and its only change could be in increased financing. We will only be a more blessed and wealthy one Nigeria. Sweetle: 4 Likes |

QuotaSystem: Go and sit down oga. The discovery of oil in the north might just be a cool way God intends to answer our prayers to avoid unnecessary bloodshed. What else do you want  You have oil which was abundant in the south so we can all do the needful. Each region should make their own laws and have their own standing military. You will be free to create as many states as you want in your region. Your premier will be like your president and no region would care much what other regions are doing. Simple. 9 Likes 1 Share |

DaBullIT: Don't mind those ones commenting on the North despite never having left their eroded caves down south. The painment is real my brother. No more ' awa oyel' to use as bargaining chip against other regions in the country to fund their criminality and ogogoro habits. Derivation will be for everyone and the shakara will end once and for all. The fact that Aliko Dangote will basically control the private refining of oil from ALL parts of Nigeria by 2018 only sweetens the deal further  Just waiting for the ND to also discover tomatoes, beef, onions etc. ...the true parasites are about to emerge. 1 Like |

My dear @ op. Please don't waste your time on this ones. There is no oil discovery in the North. If there is oil in commercial quantities in North, it would have been discovered long ago when the military govts of IBB and Abacha gave the NPDC blank cheque to aggressively look for oil in the North. If there is oil the north, the IOCs would been the one looking for the oil. If there is oil the government would be the first to tell us and not Naij. Com. Geologist and other experts have explained time without number that though there is oil in the Chad side of the Chad basin, the Nigerian side holds no oil because the formation is recent and not yet matured. All these are politics. First time it was gold, then nikel and now this. All these to make the Niger delta agitation go away without addressing them. 2 Likes 1 Share |

That is why anyone who believes in 'one Nigeria' is fool forever. If the North had found Oil before the south, they would have been gone even before independence in 1960. They almost left with 'operation Araba' in 1966 but only made a u-turn at the 11th hour when they realised that the North is not economically viable without Oil money from the South. The fraudulent Nigerian union has always been based on Oil and nothing more 2 Likes |

Sweetle: There can be no such thing as 'every region control their own resources, make their own laws and have their own military' until a constitutional amendment or an act of the National assembly is put in place. Also if oil is struck in the north, the northerners cant claim sole ownership as all resources on Nigerian soil by law belong to all Nigerians. The oil in the north is not for the north alone but for the whole country, same as that of the delta 1 Like |
