ON THE PRODUCTION OF OVER 6,000 ITEMS/PRODUCTS FROM NATURAL PETROLEUM RESOURCES
By Zik Gbemre
- Why is the Nigerian government only thinking of and focusing on “quick returns” derived from the export of natural gas and crude oil without considering investing in the production of these other commodities/items that can be derived from these natural petroleum resources?
- Aside from the economic benefits that can be derived from the exports of these finished products/commodities to other foreign countries from Nigeria, the enormous job opportunities this would bring about will greatly reduce the unemployment problems in the country.
- If over 6,000 commodities/items that can be derived from natural gas and crude oil are produced locally in Nigeria in high quality obtainable in developed countries, we are sure that nobody in Nigeria will continue to patronize foreign-made goods.
If over 6000 items/products can be derived/gotten from natural gas and crude oil, which Nigeria is naturally endured well-enough with, how come the Nigerian governments over the years, have not thought it necessary to massively invest in this area so as to greatly improve on the nation’s economy, and the same time provide millions of job opportunities for the Nigerian youths? Why is the Nigerian Government only thinking and focusing on the “quick returns” derived from the export of natural gas and crude oil, without any consideration to invest heavily in the production of these other products/items that can be derived from these natural resources?

Shell to pay $110M to settle Nigeria oil spill lawsuit – Bloomberg
Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B) agrees to pay $110M to a Nigerian community for a “full and final satisfaction” of a long-running dispute over an oil spill that happened more than 50 years ago.
The company will pay the Ejama-Ebubu people 45.7B naira ($110.9M) in compensation to put an end to a legal case that began in 1991, the community’s lawyer reportedly tells Bloomberg.
In 2010, a Nigerian court ordered Shell to pay 17B naira to the community, which the company unsuccessfully challenged several times; in March 2020, a judge in a related court case said that Shell’s debt with interest accrued had run up to 183B naira, which the company also contested.
Shell pays $111m over 1970s oil spill in Nigeria
Wed, 11 August 2021
Oil giant Shell will pay a Nigerian community $111m (£80m) over an oil spill more than 50 years ago.
A spokesman said the payment would mark the “full and final settlement” to the Ejama-Ebubu community over a spill during the 1967-70 Biafran War.
The company has maintained that the damage was caused by third parties.
A Nigerian court fined Shell the equivalent of $41.36m in 2010, but the company launched a number of unsuccessful appeals.
Last year, the country’s Supreme Court said that, with interest, the fine owed by the company was more than ten times greater than the original judgement, although Shell denied this. The case was launched in 1991.

OIL DEGRADATION/POLLUTION OF NIGER-DELTA CREEKS/LANDS: A SHARED BLAME

OIL DEGRADATION/POLLUTION OF NIGER-DELTA CREEKS/LANDS: A SHARED BLAME
- Most pipeline vandalism in recent times are third party induced for various unlawful gains
- The increasing crime now a shared evil involving host communities, service contractors and some oil companies workers.
- The polluted communities endangering lives and livelihoods of generations unborn
It is very uncommon to experience crude oil/condensate spillages caused by equipment failure on the vast pipelines constructed by the Federal Government of Nigeria through supervisory NNPC/NPDC and operating oil partners to transport crude oil and associated product across the operating environment.
But no doubt, a significant proportion of crude oil/condensate spills that have become almost a daily experience, threatening health and livelihoods, in massive pollution, particularly across the Niger-Delta states are third party induced for various unlawful self-enrichment.
