spot on bluerill. this poster is a complete and utter menace. the same message applies to some of the Stooges here: you know who you are ( and so do we!). in passing it occurs to me these guys are having a pretty tough time of things now?

ha fat fingers - 'would fit on the back of one' !!

ha thanks mclean and certainly not holding my breath! talking of postage stamps, we have come to see that the combined legal knowledge of the these chumps wouldn't fit on the back of one. as for oisin, well the corollary of ST's regret at parting with their holding in OML18 dirt cheap, when the oil price was $27, is just what a steal he got for us - simply brilliant move, the principal benefits of which we are about to really enjoy.

BlackSwan, since you appear such a fervent believer in them, perhaps you might enlighten us now, albeit belatedly, on the merits of Sun Trust's claims against San Leon? in many of my posts over time i had asked for an explanation of precisely how these could be formulated? no explanation was ever articulated by you or by any of the other squirrels on this board. the key question of course was how come they had such a significant holding in San Leon? were they asleep when they agreed to accept the shares or what exactly? if they ever had a case to support their claims (they didn't) they surely blew it when they sold a block of their holding at a profit shortly after and then finally of course at the end of last year they agreed to sell the balance to Midwestern. I guess we will never know what drove them to pursue this reckless course of action against us but it is not difficult to imagine they were in stress to their bankers and that this situation was exacerbated as the value of their holding plummeted with our then falling SP. one suspects also a deep regret at parting with their valuable holding in OML18, as they watched the oil price more than double into the mid $60s. whatever the actual status of their litigation, it was surely always vexatious and frivolous. And to misquote Churchill, I do understand the deep concerns felt by you and the others in many matters above your comprehension and no doubt this explains why none of you was ever able to answer my straightforward question. but as I say please feel free to do so now. Btw it is generally considered a good idea when attempting to wind up an Irish company, to petition the High Court in Dublin not Lagos. And also btw 'No consideration was paid'.

sad to see the last squeak of the squirrels on this worn out topic so pathetically and humiliatingly exposed for all to see. it serves only to confirm what we always knew about their bitter commitment to seeing san leon brought down by irrational forces: that they were wrong. not just wrong, not even very wrong but flat earth wrong. these said flat-earthers have of course now suffered the double ignominy of both Avobone and Sun Trust failing to deliver their delusional imagined endings for our company. it is moot whether our combined and deeply joyous schadenfreude in these tragic circumstances should in fact be referred to the RSPCA. but I understand that, as vermin, squirrels enjoy no protection as such under English Law. so please feel free to enjoy the moment. in other words (in squirrel speak) : LOL and god bless.

i can't seem to find the Sun Trust story in the Nigerian press and was wondering if any of the 3 (or rather 6) Stooges could help on that front? given how voluble they and the Nigerian media have been on this subject over the last couple of years, i feel sure they can assist here.

...gone nuts every one? Where have all the squirrels gone? long time ago... When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn? (with apologies to Pete Seeger)

just drawing your attention to some great posting by echoridge over on Advfn board, on the results and in response to the Troll who lives over there who is maintaining his usual dissembling form. very much worth reading echoridge.

be fascinating to see the final story emerge from Midwestern buying now to over 13% of us. in any event it is difficult to see this other than as an unmitigated positive. to state the obvious nobody is closer to the action in OML18 than Jite Okoloko.

indeed as before, speaking in tongues and staring slack jawed at the moon...

... the condition can also affect the patient's comprehension and you've just provided a neat example. the last sentence of my post last evening was clearly addressed TO TimB in my attempt to answer his earlier question not signed BY him. tricky i know but maybe you should try a bit harder?

meant to add it very much looks like your early onset 3 Stooges condition has now moved into its tertiary phase. at this point patients are often heard speaking 'in tongues', as Tim B correctly diagnosed, take to reading Nigerian newspapers and are commonly found slack jawed staring at the moon.

heh Stooge 1 (3 &6) - go make your own jokes up please!

nice to see Tim B back on the board after some time. but he's no sooner here than he's off again. shame (the squirrel commune does have rather sore toes these days and he does seem to have a clumsy habit of treading on them). anyway he was asking if anyone knew the collective description for a group of personality disorders? the medical term is, as you would expect, in Latin and thus will be beyond the lower end of the common denominator on this board (for the geeks it is 'cacophanorum parliamentarius' which loosely translates as 'a parliament of noisy squirrels'). but in street parlance i am told they say 'the 3 Stooges' after the American comedic trio of the 1930s. the origins of this name apparently are threefold: first the Stooges' combination of idiocy, verbal abuse and slapstick wasn't actually funny at all, second unusually for a trio there were in fact at any one time about six rotating 'actors' dependent on pay and availability and last but not least they were paid peanuts. hope that's cleared that one up, Tim.

actually Marty what we want on this board is informed comment and discussion not endless invective, driven by a misguided righteous indignation, against the company and genuine shareholders. you've kept some pretty shabby company since coming on this board, so you're easy to mistake for a squirrel. despite your stated losses here, i note you are intending to stick and not sell at these levels. we must assume therefore, despite the aforesaid invective, you actually believe this stock is going to keep going up and perhaps for all the good reasons i outlined a couple of days ago? by all means debate on this basis but i for one am heartily sick of reading your cant.

as we approach the Report and likelihood of updated news and with the appearance of some big buyers yesterday, to remind what we're getting excited about:

- Output from OML18 likely to surge by a third on completion of new pipeline (before end 2019)
- Billion barrels of oil, trillion cubic feet of gas
- No creditors
- heaving bank balance c.$50m
- $170m more cash by end 2020
- Strategy of continuing cash back to shareholders
- negotiations with NNPC re acquisition of bigger interest in OML18
- service revenues

you mean all those horrible meany nasty posts, which show you for what you are and which you desperately try and get taken down? it doesn't really matter as the whole board has sussed you and it's just hilarious that you don't get that. go on make our day - tell us what the Really Stupid Index is today

with so many of our posts going ( the squirrel fraternity really are more touchy than one might imagine), it becomes more difficult to maintain logical sequence. (for anyone knew to this board, that is a well known troll tactic here to disrupt reasonable discussion, particular as it gets ever clearer what a fantastic value buy san leon has become). Good to see my old favourite the Really Silly Index being cited again. But what about the one I liked best - the Shakin Money index? Loved the way you could buy when it suggested sell and do well. Desperate times these for the Troll non holders and they face worse in the coming weeks. We will not feel sorry for them.

yes brother Afa, indeed as u know I posted that EU report on journalists in Nigeria in response to the rubbish fake news you were posting. I think readers on this board are more than capable of drawing their own conclusions on what and what not to believe from such posts. If I may say so you are sounding more ridiculous and desperate with each post you put up but of course that is entirely your choice.

Sunmonu appointed by SEC to lead interim management of one of Nigeria's largest indigenous oil & gas companies - Oando. As former head of all Shell's operations in Nigeria until he joined us as our Chairman, Mutiu Sunmonu probably does not need any further validation in investors' eyes. (It was always a major positive for me when he did so and this went some very considerable way to to resolving any concerns I had at the time about our principal asset being in Nigeria.) Nonetheless it is good to be reminded of the high esteem in which he is still clearly held in Government circles and of how well connected he is. While this is a Nigerian news source, the main story is picked up now on Bloomberg and I believe Vanguard is supposed to be one of the few genuinely independent news media in Nigeria.
