As culled from Yomi Lawal's wall on Facebook



The so called Oil discovery in Bauchi, another Nigeria Air con in progress!

I predicted this "oil" find on March 20, 2019.
Knowing buhari and his cabals agenda, ALL they want is how the North will keep getting more and more money from Nigeria. A parasite cum cancerous organism that wants to hog all the host resources.

I was not surprised when they announced that they perforated one of the reservoirs and oil flowed to the surface.

Let me start debunking their lies starting from the location of the so called Kolmani River. This oil drill and now find is supposed to be in a border town between Bauchi and Gombe state. For over 2hours, I scoured Google Map and Google Earth in search of "Kolmani River", Kolmani River does not exist as far as all the maps I saw are concerned.

1. Where exactly is Kolmani River?
I found no river called Kolmani. The main river that goes through Bauchi is the Gongola river.

I went back to the initial news and the spud-in jamboree done by buhari and Baru back then. The place stated in the news is in Alkaleri LGA near a site called Barambu.

When you search for Barambu which is supposed to be a border village between Bauchi and Gombe, you will most likely find Barambu shopping complex or the primary school. Both are deep inside Gombe and do not qualify as "border town".
I see the deliberate "border town" nomenclature as a long play by the Northern cabal to eventually claim 13% for two states for the hassle of one down the line.

2. In ALL the news, no specific identifiable location is mentioned by NNPC for the Kolmani 2 well drill. The interviews sold in Newspapers as the drilling was about to commence mentioned a sarkin Kwaimawa stating that they are happy NNPC have started drilling boreholes at

A. Galtimari
B. Gabchari
C. Zadawa

Kwaimawa is actually in Jigawa state and close to Kano border.

Galtimari is in Borno state near Maiduguri

Zadawa is the only place in Bauchi.

It begs the question, how does a traditional ruler in Jigawa speak for an oil exploration in Bauchi and mention communities more than 4 hours away?
This tells me that the Northern cabal are using NNPC as an extra cashcow to finance projects all across the NE claiming it is CSR for the drilling. A search will show you the various CSR NNPC has carried out in the NE whilst the actual region that feeds the nation oil cash is neglected by the same NNPC.

3. In this CSR done by NNPC, they mentioned Kolmani community. Kolmani Gaji Mari is in Gombe state and actually far from the Barambu town where buhari was said to have flagged off the spud-in, same spud-in they initially reported as oil find in February 2019.

4. In the eventual news released on the 10th of October that they had struck oil and gas in Kolmani 2 well. They gave out no meaningful information as per what was discovered. They also threw in technical words that meant nothing and muddled the information with irrelevant search in other basins. Talking about acquisition of seismic data, and deployment of "cutting edge" technology was a way to dispel the expected question, how oil that was not there decades ago (despite years of searching) was suddenly found.

Final analysis.

This is the oil version of the Nigeria Air logo launch. The target remains getting 13% derivation like some southern oil producing states do. In addition they are using extra budgetary and unappropriated funds to carry development for the North East. Remember buharis "concentrate on the the Northern region" statement to the World bank?

I saw what looked like stacked drilling pipes using satellite images from Google Earth. This was inside a fenced arena near the Bauchi and Gombe border. However, going by the type of drilling rig they claimed to be using, nothing shows there was routine drilling activities going on as at 11th of April when the image was taken by Google satellites.

The drilling rig is a maximum depth 20k feet rig that runs on diesel. There was what looked like a visible diesel tank on site, but I couldn't make out any crane nor any other thing that suggests drilling nor was there any at the main town or a nearby facility.

Well, I'm having to do with "informed guesses" especially about the location because NNPC obscured and muddled the location. I will show you in the video below for you to judge for yourselves.

It sounds unbelievable that a lie this magnitude can be orchestrated, well, that was how they went to London to launch a fake non existent airline on the international stage. Note that they keep using SNEPCO (Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company) in their story.

A check on SNEPCOs current operations in Nigeria does not include operations in the North! Why keep mentioning SNEPCO if the aim is not to mislead and fool people?

Also note that no major Oil and Gas news outlet carried this news, why?

Yomi Lawal writes from Lincoln in Illinois �

This writeup seems true.The core northern presidency cabal will do anything to milk Nigeria dry.

The north should pause and ask why their leaders are hell-bent on annoying the south at every turn?

This insensitivity will one day lead to the break up of Nigeria. We are just in 2019... serious countries like U.S have stood for 300 years. Do you think Nigeria will remain one by year 2200 with this agressive greed from the north?

The masses should really caution their elites

Meanwhile, they promised divisification from oil to non-oil generating revenue but here they are still exploring for oil in a Sahel Savanna region leaving behind the more rich Benue Through or Valley that have a higher prospect of oil deposits.

The above is actually not true.

This is what was said, standard method of disclosure in the industry:


IKENGA RIG 101” to a total depth of 13,701feet encountering oil and gas in several levels, adding that a Drill Stem Test (DST) is currently on-going to confirm the commercial viability and flow of the Kolmani River reservoirs.

He said: “On Thursday 10th October, 2019, at 18:02hours, one of the reservoirs was perforated and hydrocarbon started flowing to the well head at 21:20hours in which the gas component was flared to prevent air charge around the rig.


“Preliminary reports indicate that the discovery consists of gas, condensate and light sweet oil of API gravity ranging from 38 to 41 found in stacked siliciclastic cretaceous reservoirs of Yolde, Bima Sandstone and Pre-Bima formations. Computation of hydrocarbon volume is on-going and will be announced in due course.

It's just a matter of time.
This country will eventually splinter.
The signs are there

The northern oligarchs know this and thus stuff like this phantom oil project is just a last ditch attempt to take what they can before the nation implodes.

Personally I regret being a Nigerian.

I expressed the above statement on various social media fora about 5 years ago and adduced reasons.

Sadly our leaders are still dilly dallying and turning round like barber chair as we'll say in warri

Which Country will splinter? If you don't like living in Nigeria or regret being a Nigerian as you say, you are free to fly out to any "perfect" Country of your choice and stop distracting those patriotic ones who believe in Nigeria and are contributing their quota to nation building.

But he claims NNPC didn't publish it on their website.

Which is it?

By the way, just say you are angry oil has been discovered up north, people would respect you.

Akwa ibom,bayelsa,river and delta are the states I pity the most

Commentor:

Ok sir.

The truth is that Buhari is using the spirit of Nepotism to look for oil in the north and not common sense ..No oil major will leave the oil in the Niger delta to go to the arid land locked north to drill oil and the reason is very simple : "Cost per barrel " . Cost per barrel in the north will be too too high compared to the cost that obtains in the Niger delta . In Agbami for instance Chevron just drill extracts and ships all from one location which greatly brings down the cost per barrel but in the north the IOC will have to first settle communities then drill then extract then store in surface tanks and the create rail line or pipeline from the north to a southern port where it's against stored before being pumped into super tankers for export ...The cost per barrel will be ridiculously to high .. Buhari doesn't know what he is doing !!!!

I am not even concerned about their phantom oil.
They should take it and go and leave the South alone.

We dash them their oil. 100%.

Naaah
I ain't angry that oil has been claimed to be discovered up north.
Why would I be?
It would even make the North take this issue of restructuring more seriously.


On whether the info is on their website
Those are phantom claims and you can take that to the bank.

Ignore the error on the writer's part

Contributing quota to nation building indeed.

That's laughable and you know it

They're simply lining their pockets in the guise of the so called nation building

We all need energy.

If the discovery would provide the source for petrol and diesel upon refinery why should anyone up north wait for it to be sent elsewhere?

Shouldn't this be something to make you happy?

Anyway, someone on another thread claimed you are always in perpetual gloom. I have to accept his opinion.

That is no information, young man.

This is a pure deceit and watch how the news will die away.

So what nation have Nigeria evolved into since these parasitic leeches have bastardized every aspects of our national life since 1966 till date?

Guess you're aware that the core northern Nigeria(NE/NW) are theatre of famine, abject poverty, stark illiteracy, senseless bloodshed & killings today?

You are very correct...
Whenever you hear the northern leader saying we are fighting corruption... They are stealing in preparing for breakup one day...this started from IBB...they donate to Islamic nations ahead of breakup...they are stealing the stealable before the implodes... Southern leader stop believing one naijiria facade....they always say that to deceive the south...
Never trust the parasite & pestilence generation with resources & power...they will disappoints you flat...ask Abacha and co...
Fear north bro....
Niger delta republic, oduduwa republic & Biafra republic be prepared... E go sure happen..
Don't ask me silly question of how

Every nation is a work in progress. even in America bad things happen. They still have killings, homeless people begging to eat, and complaints about the economy. So there is no perfect country.

My approach to Nigeria's problems is to be optimistic, pray for my Country and its leaders while doing my best to contribute to the growth and development of Nigeria.
