MY CHALLENGE TO ALL NIGERIANS OUTSIDE THE OIL BEARING REGION! WITHIN MY FEW YEARS ON THIS SIDE OF ETERNITY CALLED NIGERIA, I HAVE COME TO A SAFE CONCLUSION BASED ON RESEARCH AS FOLLOWS: 1. THAT THERE IS NO ACT OF EXPLORATION AND EXPLOITATION OF ANY FORM OF MINERAL RESOURCE, EITHER OIL OR SOLID MINERAL, FOR THE BENEFIT OF MAN THAT DOES NOT HAVE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES. 2. THAT THERE IS NO STATE IN NIGERIA THAT IS NOT BLESSED WITH DIFFERENT KINDS OF MINERAL RESOURCES DEPOSITED BY GOD FOR OUR BENEFIT AND DEVELOPMENT THROUGH EXPLORATION AND EXPLOITATION. 3. IN THE CASE OF OIL, THERE SEEM TO BE MORE DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE PEOPLE FAR MORE THAN THAT OF THE SOLID MINERAL RESOURCES. IN NIGERIA, THE ISSUE OF EXPLORATION AND EXPLOITATION OF THE MINERAL RESOURCES IS NOW A POLITICAL QUESTION. THE CONSEQUENCE IS THAT OIL IS WHAT IS EXPLOITED FOR MONTHLY SHARING IN ABUJA,WHILE THE STATES HAVING SOLID MINERAL RESOURCES, THEY ARE PRIVATELY MINED, SOLD AND REVENUE ARISING THEREFROM ENTERING INTO PRIVATE POCKETS. THIS IS AN UNDENIABLE TRUTH. THIS IS BUNKERING IN THE SOLID MINERAL RESOURCES SECTOR. SO WHO IS FOOLING WHO? THE SENATE IS NOW MAKING NOISE ABOUT ILLEGAL REFINERIES JUST BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT TO DISTURB THE FLOW OF OIL MONEY FOR MONTHLY SHARING AT ABUJA. THIS WAS THE REASON KEN SARO-WIWA WAS JUDICIALLY MURDERED. WHERE IS THE JTF FOR THOSE MINING THE SOLID MINERALS ILLEGALLY IN THE NORTH, WEST AND MIDDLE-BELT STATES? WHEN THERE WAS LEAD POISONING BASED ON THE ILLEGAL MINING OR BUNKERING OF SOLID MINERAL IN ZAMFARA STATE, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT USE OIL MONEY TO PAY COMPENSATION TO THE PEOPLE AFFECTED THROUGH THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. WHO IS FOOLING WHO?? I SUGGEST THAT SINCE OUR LEADERS BASED ON THEIR ECONOMIC BENEFIT ARE NOT WILLING AND READY TO FACE AND CONFRONT MASSIVE CORRUPTION IN THE OIL INDUSTRY, THEN THE ENTERPRISING YOUTH INVOLVED IN THE SO-CALLED ILLEGAL REFINERIES SHOULD BE BROUGHT TOGETHER. A WORLD CLASS TRAINING INSTITUTE OR FACTORY SHOULD BE BUILT FOR THEM, WHERE THEY WILL BE TRAINED BY COMPETENT HANDS TO DO EFFECTIVE REFINING OF THE CRUDE FOR DOMESTIC CONSUMPTION. ENOUGH OF THE DECEIT BY THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, THREATENING SANCTION AGAINST OIL BUNKERING ONLY, WHILE BUNKERING OF SOLID MINERAL IS ONGOING. GOD IS WATCHING!
