Contrary to the claim by the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Business and Rules, Senator Ita Enang, last week that 83 per cent of oil blocks in the country are owned by northerners, investigations by THISDAY have revealed that 88 per cent of the oil blocks are owned by multinational oil companies.
Fact is that the time conditioned examination of the petroleum saga is
contoured to conceal major part of the debate. Question is this, what year
were the oil well bocks awarded to individual ownership in the nation .
Why is all these debates concentrating on recent changes without due
reference to how it was before the modern allocations ? Men and women in
the Military at the out stage of military occupation of all oil producing
parts of P.H , Eleme and etc. had the war front in the petroleum wells. If
that structure have become altered in recent years , the question of
opportunism have not been disputed . What are we talking about.
WELL, THIS IS THE QUESTION THAT WE MUST ASK. NIGERIA CAN DO IT, BUT WHEN
COUNTRIES LIKE ZIMBABWE TRY TO DO THE SAME CONCERNING THE LAND - WHAT DID
WE HEARD FROM OUTSIDERS?? THEY CRY FOWL. WHY IS IT THAT SOME THESE OF OUR
AFRICAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS WILL NOT SIT DOWN THINK AND ANALYZE THINGS
CAREFULLY BEFORE EXECUTING THEM?? WHY AFRICA?? AS ALL AFRICANS DO, DON'T
YOU THINK THAT INDIGENOUS ZIMBABWE DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO THEIR LANDS?? DON'T
YOU??
The fact is that most of us Nigerians are not patriotic. This explains why
serious national malaise is always trivialized with the consequence that
such an issue is then reduced to tribal or religious lines thereby
polarizing people along those lines.
The Chairman of the Sanate Committee on Business and Rules, Senator Ita
Enang made the comment attributed to him on Oil Block ownership when for no
justification some Senators reduced the issue of making Oil Companies
socially responsible to their immediate operating environment into regional
political issue. But the fact is that the issue raised by Senator Enang
though made hastily is an issue that all Senators should develop a genuine
interest on.
Justice is a fundamental value in a law governed State. We all know that
during the Military era the word 'justice' was observed in an invited comma
'injustice.' So if those who held sway during that period of that
abberation shared Oil Blocks to themselves and their cronies a responsible
Senate in a democracy should ensure that such arbitrary act is corrected
without any delay.
But as it is characteristic of the Nigerian Senate since the inception of
democracy after the military rule such a weighty issue would be reduced
into triviality and if care is not taken innocent citizens would engage
themselves in orgy of blood-letting.
The issue should not be who owns Oil Block. The real issue is the method
through which such ownership was acquired. This is the real issue.
THIS PUBLICATION IS INTENDED TO COVER UP TRUTH. THE DISTINGUISHED SENATOR
DID NOT SAY THAT NORTHERNERS OWNED 83% OF TOTAL OIL BLOCKS. HE SAID THAT
NORTHERNERS OWNED 83% OF THE TOTAL OIL BLOCKS THAT ARE IN THE HANDS OF
NIGERIANS! THE THIEFING NORTHERNERS WOULD USE YOU TO COVER UP TRUTH.YOU ARE
AN OPPRESSOR A NON PATROTIC NIGERIAN! YOU ARE A DESTROYER.
Whether owned by Northerners or not, the time has come for the
revolutionary overthrow of these comprador vampire bats that have sucked
Nigeria into perpetual anaemia, Haba!
