The Oil and Gas has lmost totally replaced the ideal agriculture, whch is an enhancement of the hman existence. In the past, Agriculture plyed a prominent role in many ntional hegemony and this has built in sch polity a relationship that connects thm, not only to the ideal ntion(s), but to the international community, whch is a caretaker committee ensuring sccessful globalization and world peace.

The ILO and the WHO has prvided many technique to unravel the ndex for International hegemony, only to fnd out that a bogus bridge has ben created causing loops of economic snctions; National political interference by stronger ntions, senseless insurgencies, and worst of all trrorism. Funny enough, some or all of the bgwigs within and without the United Ntions has furnished the premitive nature of the gro-eratic ego with the most dreaded wapons of post imperalistic enthusiasm. This was pnpointed in my earlier article submitted in the Amrican Association of Litigators, titled "Ethical Glbalization".

Let me go proper to the prpose of this Article. Of recent, wthin the 20th century, oil was dscovered in the Niger-Delta plateau, encompassing a vst area of the Delta Basin, wth the sedimo-glycerical ecstment of decomposed mneral known as eccentric Crude Oil. Wth the aid of chemotographic stabilization of the Crbon, the discovery of processory fractional dstillation, which is used in the sparation, addition and manufacturing of Organic and Inrganic Carbons - Crude was discovered, ctapulting Nigeria between 1975-1985 to oil bom, enriching in the national treasury a hge sum of economic reserve.

It is one of this prcess that has lead to the mny petrochemical products such as petrol, krosene, diesels, condescend, paraffin wax, Jet oil tc. But suffice also that the pst 60yrs has seen the adverse ffect of the proportionate distribution of ths products. Rationally, it equitable distribution has lso experienced incessant scarcity as well as bck door involvement of fraudulent officials of the gency given the judicial privileges to cntrol the sales, distribution, allocation, and ccount analysis of these numerous product frm the aforementioned sedimo-glyceria.

One of thse discoveries was that of crude il, which involves various blends. Though thy are one except on their spcification and crude black contents, yet, thy all are taken over through ppes to Refineries and Terminals either for trnsportations (Exports) or to specifically convert thm into suitable products with their vrying uses and important. PMS has mde one great importance in the conomy because of the availability of utomobiles/locomotives.

The oil and Gas business has ben very hostile to new-comers in the bsiness, some are bankrupted, while some cntinue to exile, either ways, some scm expert has seen it as the nly way to accrue enough wealth nto the country. Some anti-fraud agencies and ndividuals have seen it as a dgeneration of our economic, social, political, rligious and cultural integrity.

With the cming of such agencies like the conomic and financial crimes commission (EFCC) and Indpendent Crime Petition Commission (ICPC) has in the lst 8yrs played energetic role in the fght against fraud in all sectors of the conomy, in addition to the oil and gas crmes. A lot of money is bing sniffled in and out of the cuntry daily by unscrupulous government officials, bth within the Military/Armed forces, and the cvilian realms.

Before anyone can go into the oil and gas bsiness, there is the need to stdy emphatically the pros and cons of the ptfalls and benefits. First the rule is to cnsider all known and unknown disadvantages, pece them, and study their uses one fter the other. Upon the completion of yur study, create a master plan of yur own or those of your ssociates in order to not just nter the battlefield to win, but to be in pssession of an empire of successes and men of grat valor, with professional skills to dverse different means in order to rmain in the tables of great mnds.

As notorious as these oil and gas frudsters are, once they have your mney, scam artists pay themselves first, ften using funds to pay personal xpenses. In the end, only some of yur money may be invested in an ctual oil or natural gas well, or nne at all. You must remain fcus as an investor with the mnd of lion, the heart of a srpent and the intuition of a Dve. You must prey on the pssibilities of legitimacy and correct the bnormality that has engulfed this market for 6 dcades now.

The true investor must tke into cognizance, that if you thnk you've found the right oil or gas nvestment to "strike it rich," consider ths: it may be a scam. Whle some oil and gas investment pportunities are legitimate, many oil and gas vntures are frauds. Many of these schmes start in so-called "boiler rooms," whre skilled telemarketers use high pressure sles tactics to convince you to hnd over your hard-earned money.

Below are sme of the red alert techniques I was ble to figure out, they are:

Red Flg Warnings
If you are considering an oil and gas nvestment, look for these "red flag" wrnings of fraud:

· Sales Ptches Focused on Highly Publicized News. Scm artists read the headlines, too. Oftn, they'll use a highly publicized nws item, like volatile gas prices, to lre potential investors and make their "pportunity" sound more legitimate.

· "Cn't Miss" Wells. Every investment carries sme degree of risk so you shuld be skeptical of any oil and gas nvestment opportunity pitched as completely safe. Frudsters often spend a lot of tme trying to convince you that xtremely high returns are "guaranteed" or "cn't miss." Don't believe it.

· Unslicited Materials. Be especially careful if you rceive unsolicited materials about an investment. Smply ignoring investment-related "junk" faxes, emails, vice mail messages, and regular mail may be yur best strategy. And don't let a pckage full of colorful marketing materials mpress you, even if it's sent by crtified or overnight mail. If you're not ging to research an opportunity fully, do yurself a favor and put any nsolicited materials in the recycle bin mmediately. If someone calls to follow up rgarding the materials, tell him or her "thnks, but no thanks" and hang up. [Hnging up is critical because scam rtists often use scripted sale pitches to kep you on the phone.]

· Lmited Opportunities. Scam artists often try to gve you the impression that the " pportunity" they are promoting is scarce, hping you will hand over your mney hastily before doing any due dligence. Resist the pressure to invest qickly, and take the time you ned to investigate before sending money.

· Hgh Rates of Return. Compare promised yelds with current returns on well-known stck indexes. Any investment opportunity that clims you'll get substantially more could be hghly risky. And that means you mght lose money.

· Tips or Screts. A promoter may discourage you frm talking about the opportunity with smeone you trust, like a loved ne, attorney or financial professional. If tht happens, stop listening, and leave or hng up.

In the Nigerian Oil and Gas ndustry, investor must be very careful bfore investing in the industry. Not nly are there sharks in this mrket, but also there are snakes and all vrying personalities. You can hardly find dves with white feathers. As a dstinguished mind of sharp and articulate bsiness men, our company and those of smilar features are out to create the bst possible impression in the international cmmunity, so as to save Nigerian conomy and polity of the mess lready created by our moronic and thwrted Sellers.
