otokx: Let them keep talking; if you like build the largest refinery on planet earth; just make sure the pipelines are not coming from the niger delta oil fields.

You talk like the main investors are yoruba people or the state governements of Ondo and Ogun are paying for it

if you like voice your Opinion to Dangote, Jim Ovia Segun agbabje ANIL DUA and Tony Elumelu- they are the ones who are building it and two of them are from the Niger delta.


But I doubt you can and will, Nairaland warrior they will probably laugh in your face before throwing you out on the street.

Right, the LNG is not even important at this point. The refinery, Petrochemical plant and fertilizer plant are the basis of this investment, no one is even talking about LNG.

Some people are soo bitter they would rather the project fail then realize it will benefit all Nigerians-from the investors banks, Dangote (hausa), Jim Ovia(igbo), Tony Elumelu(igbo), Segun Agbaje(yoruba) Including the countless number of igbos efik edos Urhobo itsekriri hausa yoruba ijaw variou tribes from all around nigeria and non-Nigerians from other parts of Africa, who will relocate to Olokola for employment reasons.

its ridiculous, Even a baby with common sense knows that employment in this industrial complex will consists of Professional graduates looking for employment from different tribes and countries across Africa. Eevryone knows Dangote employs regardless of ethnic group or religion.

Funny enough, the same sad, pathetic and negative villagers won't mind to sell their village belongings to migrate to Olokola for survival.


The just can not reason beyond their village, tribal and bigoted existence..

Talk all you can, actions speak louder. Was it not how they talked about orient refinery? The days of big shams and scams e.g. Ajaokuta Steel and Kaduna refinery are over. If you can't build at the source of the resource, do not bother building at all unless you want to build a muesuem monument.

Shell and Chevron know the right thing to do. Kudos to them both.

The olokola free trade zone can be used by the plastic, allied petrochemical industries and other manufacturing industries to keep it alive as a manufacturing/industial zone.

There is no way delta state resources will be moved by pipelines to ondo state for proccessing.Those days are gone.nigeria can pipe gas to ghana or other countries,what they pipe is the finished products which is sold to the receiving nations,delta state resources will no longer be stolen.Delta state is already making sure of that.

The delta industrial gas city is a private sector driven project as well.if dangote tries to exploit delta state resources to feed his facility in ondo state or any state outside the real niger delta/southsouth,he will have his hands burnt.jim and elumelu are only representing their banks.they have nothing to lose.

The West African Gas Project is so far a big flop. There isn't much gas flowing through that pipeline. Ghana has contracted 120/140 million scf/day, but currently is lucky to receive even half of that. The Ghanaian govt has complained so often it is now tired and won't be bothered. Instead, it is working real hard to finish its own $1 billion gas project, due for completion next year. With that in place, no one will care much about whether gas flows through the west african gas pipeline, or not. There is no political will to make the west african gas pipeline work, and that is a shame after over a billion dollars had been wasted on the project.

Please tell us how much standard cubic foot of gas is produced from your village in delta (i.e if you are from delta)
