Fresh ExxonMobil Oil Spill Overwhelms The Atlantic Coastline in Akwa Ibom
Even as ExxonMobil officials were perfecting their cover-up strategies for an oil spill that occurred 10 days ago, one more spillage has been reported in its area of operation.
Fishermen and residents of coastal communities in Ibeno, Esit Eket local councils in Akwa Ibom who noticed crude deposits on the shoreline reported the development to the National Oil Spills Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA), which today confirmed the report.
“As soon as we got the report we immediately deployed personnel to the site, even though we are still investigating the earlier incident of August 13,” an official said, adding he understood that tar balls were seen on the coast.
“As we speak, [the investigators] are still in the field and their findings will help us to know the nature and extent of the deposits, it cannot be business as usual,” he promised.
Officials of the Exxon oil fields, which are locally run by Mobil Producing Nigeria are maintaining silence over their claim to be investigating the source of the oil found within its operational area on Aug. 13.
Chief Okon Akpan Onwon, a community Leader in Mkpanak community in Ibeno, berated the oil firm for poor handling of oil spill matters.
“For over one week, Mobil people claimed they were investigating the source of the spill and till this moment they have continued in their culture (of) negligence and silence,” he said. “Why will it take such a long time to conduct the test and match the samples found in the beach?
He lamented that the company has taken the community for granted for too long. “They were ordered to clean up the coastline since last week and they deployed merely 40 youths to clean up a 20 km stretch of shoreline, they see the job as doing favour to the community rather than taking responsibility for their careless operations.”
Turning to the new spill, Chief Onwon said, “Now with the fresh spills where do we go from here? We are predominantly fishermen and cannot go to the sea until the coast becomes clear again, this is one spill too many.”

Its obvious you don't or you know little of what you talking about and using insulting words berates your sense of reasoning,no reasonable person would at any time support †ђξ laxity taken towards †ђξ incessant oil spillages in †ђξ ND,bcos it has an adverse reaction to their way of life and economy as fishing is about their major means of income but condemning yorubas on all this is uncalled for,†ђξ lagos you talking about,still up till now has †ђξ highest number of non indigene having political position in †ђξ state,is that a state with ill feelings towards others,is yoruba's owning oil wells a sin?i don't think so,yes we know they were many irregularities in allocating but what should be a topic for talks shgould be †ђξ response of those allocated to,their response nd projects for their host communities

PRES JONATHAN WHEN WILL YOU GIVE OUT THE OIL WELLS?
Mr. President when will you start to allocate the oil wells in SOKOTO & LAGOS STATES to Easterners?
IBB, OBJ, ABACHA, ABDULSALAM ABUBAKAR during their time; allocated all the best/lucrative oil wells to the HAUSA/FULANIS and YORUBAS.
There are also many solid minerals in the North and South West that will bring in more money to the REDERATION ACCOUNT than the oil from Niger Delta.
Are they waiting for oil in ND to dry up before they will go back to the 50% derivation policy as it was in the 1963 Constitution?
Mr. President, please do that soon and see if they will still talk of ONE NIGERIA!
EVEN BOKO HARAM ARE SMART.
It sadden me to see what is happening to these coastal communities in South/South. Very sad indeed. It really infuriates me when people who are not from these areas tries to trivialize these disasters that are happening there. They blame them on the locals. They mock them, calling them illiterates, drunks or whatever. They say these 'greedy' people just want more money. They say its all about the oil! 1 want to let you into an open secret, fools, in Nigeria it as always been about the oil! Even Boko haram in all their ranting never call for the division of Nigeria. They will rather try to convert 90millions(?) christians. For those of you that think you are smarter than people from South/South does that make sense to you?
The northern gov forum,ACF
The northern gov forum,ACF and Niger state gov should stand now and condemn with srong tern this latest oil spill from very many. And tell Nigerians how much damage is done to the northern part this time. Cos he the Niger gov is crying for more revenue allocation to north. Shame !
13% Derivation and the Northern States Governors
I am here to place a lengthy comments but the Northern States Governors should be aware of the effects of oil spillage to the fishing vocation of the people of the Niger Delta.
KEEP MUSING CHIEF, YOU ARE
KEEP MUSING CHIEF, YOU ARE GOING NOWHERE UNTIL YOUR COMMUNITY OWNS PART OF THE OPERATIONS IN MOBIL.
PIB IS THE ANSWERS. THE MOC'S ARE NOT BOTHERED ABOUT YOUR ENVIRONMENT AND OUR GOVERNMENT OPERATIVES ARE USUALLY THEIR COLLABORATORS.
IMAGINE THE UN REPORT ON OGONI AND THE USA COURT FINE WHICH THEY BLUNTLY REFUSED TO EFFECT, YET WE HAVE A GOVERNMENT THAT PAYS DEAF EARS TO SUCH CALLS.
WHY WOULD THE OGONIS NOT OPT OUT OF THIS NATION? I URGE THEM NOT TO ENGAGE THE GOVERNMENT VIOLENTLY IN THEIR MOVE, BUT GO THROUGH THE UN AND THEY WILL GET WHAT THEY WANT.
OTHER NATIONS LIKE BIAFRA, BAYELSA ETC SHOULD FOLLOW SUIT, WHILE THOSE WHO THINK THEY OWN THE NATION CONTINUE IN THEIR FOLLY. BEFORE THEM KNOW, EXPRESS DON LEAVE THEM.
I AM SURE THE ODUA PEOPLE TOO HAVE THEIR PLAN B!
chief parasite of niger state hope you are coming for d clean up
Imagine d leader of parasite and oil money beggars asso of Bokonistan still acting out his olivers blood line. Meanwhile ibeno riverline communities are in for anoda massive spill, wch according to a frnd from that part of delta who sayz that his communial ppl who are basically fishermen can not source there livelihood since d 1st spill d previous week. This are ppl whom only closeness to there God given resources is tru d spill at there shores and d flares from an highly secured imperialist oil multinationals. None of them are worthy to be a contactor nor even tryin to nurse an idea of owing an oil well like d parasitic fulanis and there cowardly yoruba collaborators did.later chief parasite talking of offshore abrogations and frog eye tinubu talkin of creating a LGA for fulani invaders in berom territory,as if all d ibos scatterd in his adopted lagos state av bn created LGA 4.

ObJ gave us land use decree-dem hate Jona but not his oil
I said it here days ago that when there is an oil spill in the SS, it does not flow to Yobe or sokoto state. But to the coastal areas in the South south zone of 9ja. Here we have the governors from the northern region refusing to accept that equity and fair play demands the co-ownership of the resources of the sea between indigenous communities, local government council and their state governments. Told them thieves from the Fulani North that, if the FGN expropriated the sea and the resources therein exclusively to itself as demanded by the Fulani North, without respecting the collateral rights of littoral communities to them, it will end up in another ecological war should there be a spill-and may result in the hanging of another kensarowiwa-if not handled with care-well that war on the destruction of the environment, which 9ja does not give a hoot about is now on in Akwa Ibom right now as we write-animals

I have no problems with IOC's
I have no problems with IOC's cleaning spills within their areas of operation. I do not have any qualms eithr with niger delta oil thieves stealing oil in their domain, courtesy of deripapa, but they should be ready to bear the consequences. Fact remains that it takes a long time for the ecosystem to be restored after a spill, more damaging onshore than offshore. It become expedient to prevail on the youths of niger delta to protect their environment. Making blood money out of your natural habitat is counterproductive. Flying over the niger delta marshlands paints a gory picture of the damaging effects of oil bunkering. You can blame IOC'S all you like and collect 'compensation' always, no wahala. But be ready to bear the consequences.
Highest spillage in the SS occured under OBJ's tenure
I hope all the Morons talking about akpos1 hav eyes to see how horrific that oil spillage picture looks even in Black nd white.
When pple write from experience one expects rational and sensible persons to listen. Such environmental degradation has become daily occurence and largely unreported since 1999 when the big fat stupid OBJ got there. He ordered the leveling of Odi and then gave out Bakassi to Cameroon. No doubt, the sins of OBJ are indeed legion. I am convinced that one day even his bones will be exhumed for trial.
OBJ colluded with the evil US espionage government to defraud the peoples of the SS. He collected bribes from the former American VP(Dick Chiney)to give the US oil contracts while they fail to clean up the spills.
We shall reverse these injustices and d time is now.
LONG LIVE THE SS & SE
Our 419/Thieving Gov. Akpabio Is Busy Going Round 9ja Sharing ..
The Thug Gov. Akpabio is going round Nigeria giving our money out so that he will be Vice Presisent to Gen. Mohammed Aliyu Gusau (retd) the former NSA. Last week, he was in Sokoto and was praising himself as having eaten with his host in Sokoto and left a gift of $2,000,0000. with his host towards his Vice Presidency ambition.
Two years ago, there was an oil spillage and Akpabio told Exxon-Mobil not to pay the affected Local Govt. Arears not more than 2Billion Naira. And the payment wasn't in cash. He tied the payment to sham contracts. The fishermen lost out.
Akpabio is anti people. He will never speak out on this oil spillage. He is busy going round spending our money while we are dying of hunger. As you read this, he hasn't paid the workers for three months but outsiders are coming to the state daily to pack 'blood' money.
Cultist AKPABIO is the gift that OBASANJO and Dame Patience JONATHAN gave to AKWA IBOM STATE in 2007 & 2011respectively. GOD WILL JUDGE THEM. Amen.
Ibeno Exxon-Mobil oil spillage
Like the other time, that spillage will soon surface in crosss river (Calabar/'new' Bakassi area) yet our superem court say Cross River State is not suppose to benefit from. Oil largess but punishment. God dey & His is the ultimate incoruptibe judge of all. Our case is in the court of the most High.

Oil spillage again in less than 2weeks.
This is it. One of d many hazzards that indigeneous oil bearing communities would have 2 suffer 4 having crude oil in their land. Meantime, no more fishing in that area. D company, due 2 corrupt practices, may not clean up d mess talkless of compensating d communities 4 their loss of livelihood. BP cleaned up a mess like this & paid billions of dollars in U.S.A last yr. In our own case, all we get is cover-ups tru bribes.
Meanwhile, despite all these loss of d means of livelihood, some people in d north led by one aboki from Niger State are calling 4 a review of onshore/offshore dichotomy. If I may ask, are d people in Niger State suffering frm this pollution?
After all said & done one old fool who calls himself spokesman of northern elders will say he wants 2 drive his guonguoro frm d north 2 d sea as if people drive cars on water. One day, u will all pay 4 ur greed & suppressive acts. Ekpa! Oro dje vwe oyi she!
