Echoes from Copenhagen

In addition to winning the Nobel Peace Prize in anticipation of what he is expected to do and not what he has actually done, Barack Obama, the 47th President of the United States of America will enter the Guinness Book of Records as the most articulate tenant of the White House. So when he speaks, everybody listens even when he has nothing new to say.

For the umpteenth time, Barack Obama told the world in Copenhagen that the US is investing “huge resources” in developing renewable and cleaner sources of energy in order to reduce America’s near total dependence on imported oil! What this means in practical terms is that in another 5-10 years, crude oil will be obsolete! Those of us who think the financial jamboree will last forever should begin to think of Nigeria without Crude Oil!

When the demand for crude oil eventually drops to a level that their own production level can sustain, our crude oil will be “too dirty” for their requirements – their new found twenty second century technology! I hope I’ll be around then because I will hate to be somewhere else (hell or heaven) when our Leaders will be looking for money to fund their multi-billion Naira projects in other parts of the country when the Niger Delta region has no roads, no electricity, no portable water, no schools, no nothing!

God help me see that day!

Tata, everybody
