I dont think thats bigory, I think he is talking from economic point of view. Why harvest Cassava in Ibadan and make garri in sokoto? It does not make any economic sense.

Foreigners come to buy crude oil in Nigeria and ship it to refineries in Europe but it’s now a crime to buy crude oil from Niger delta and ship to a refinery in Lagos. Dude, your bigotry stinks.

The same license they gave to Dangote was given to your Niger Delta brothers but they prefer to build Hotels and petrol stations.

Dangote choose Lagos for many reasons, militancy and collection of deve were some of the reasons he ran away from Niger Delta states
The guy that did the post is an Igbo guy. Don't blame Niger Delta because they are not the ones complaining, it is bad belle Igbos. U can't find them where others are celebrating. They only live with bitterness. Who told him that Yoruba does not have oil? What of Ondo, Ogun and Lagos? Hates have destroyed Igbos. That is why it is going to be difficult for igbos to rule Nigeria.

What's the logic of siting oil refinery in Lagos but the oil is produced in Niger Delta?

The logic is security. Despite the menace of agbero, Lagos still remains one of the safest state in Nigeria. Furthermore, Lagos is one of the investment friendly state in Nigeria. Siting a business in the Niger delta is a very risky proposition. You will have to contend with various extortion from youths, community elders, traditional rulers, local government, etc. Then various youth groups will come periodically to demand "deve" and threaten to shut down your operations if you refuse to pay. There is also the issue of kidnapping.
The east is a no go area for non native investors. IPOB, ESN, auto pilot, etc, reigns supreme other there.
The refinery should naturally have been sited in ogun or Ondo, but it was alleged that their governors were demanding huge bribe before they gave permission to dangote not caring about the long term benefits such project could bring to the state.
So I commend Tinubu and his prodigies - Ambode and Sanwo-Olu for bringing the largest refinery in Africa to Lagos State. The problem now is how to deal with the expected traffic in an already over congested route.

From an economic point of view, you have to consider security, good access roads, good access to the sea, available of skilled manpower and benign government policies, eg tax breaks and incentives.

Exactly, even most of the oil companies operating in the Niger Delta have sold their onshore assets and moved offshore, and you expect Dangote to thread where angels dread.

Well you clearly do not know economics or business

Why does African cocoa and coffee end up in Europe with little value addition in Africa
Why harvest Cocoa in Ondo and make chocolate in Belgium,Switzerland France
Why mine gold and diamonds in Africa and make jewelry in Europe
Why mine Iron in Australia and make steel in China
Why cut down trees in Africa to make furniture in Europe
Why harvest cashew nuts and ground nuts in Nigeria to process in Europe

Of the 8 largest refineries in the world Korea alone has 3
India has one and Singapore has 1 .

The largest is in India
NONE OF THEM PRODUCE OIL
So when you talk of MAKING SENSE
What is it based on ? Sentiments


Closeness to raw materials is not always more important than closeness to market.
Additional consideration is the cost of doing business and risk.

Your decision to avoid elections in Kaduna isn't necessarily related to respect for your host but the fear of getting lynched made you and your folks to be less ambitious. I have relatives in Kaduna too and I understand how many of them lived and still live in fear. That is not an ideal society but I bet your consciousness has been remotely altered to internalise and embrace wrongdoings and suppression (Aka Stockholm syndrome).

Abi you have not asked yourself why yoruba people contest and vote in the UK and U.S. The Yorubas in the UK don't "have respect abi?"

You should be worried that you can't exercise your rights in your own country, whether you live in Kutuwenji or Kafancha.
I’m not saying that you are not right ooo, but tagging lagos all the time by your tribesmen is so annoying and disgusting. Can a Yoruba man contest for any election in the north or east? Abeg leave lagos and let it be

There were allegations that talks between Governor Amosun and Dangote and between Mimiko and Dangote broke down over bribes. Dangote initially wanted to site the refinery in Ogun or Ondo state.

They DO NOT NEED NIGER DELTA OIL


oil is a commodity and can be sourced literally from ANYWHERE

The so called Niger Delta oil belongs 20 % to 40% to the companies like Shell ,Mobil,Chevron etc.
They will seek to sell the oil to the highest bidder not necessarily in Nigeria .
Dangote can buy oil from Russia,Angola,Libya,etc

Let Dangote go and source for his oil in Russia and Angola.

Peter Obi has already promised that he will issue modular refinery licenses to Niger Delta groups that wish to refine their God-given crude oil.

No more monkey dey work, baboon dey chop policies. It will end with Peter Obi.

Stop your lamentation. Lagos State, also produces oil too.
The case of Niger- Delta, should be a case study to every region, where non- Indigenes and the investors peace are been threatened.
There is a refinery in PH, but restiveness and unfavorable security situation, has sent people away. This will soon be the case in Lagos State, if the leaders, politically don't put their senses into action.
Threatening investors and non- Indigenes have it's price, and it's about capital, human and development flight.
Dangote, is an Hausa man, why Lagos and not anywhere else?
We must all learn

What has the IGBOS got to do with this post?
Thank God for a poster, who said, militancy and community wahala sent Dangote out of Niger- Delta. Let me tell you something, very soon, Lagos State, will soon be like Niger- Delta,if you and your leaders in the South West, don't take time. Investors, go to places where their investments are secured, not in hostile places.
When you threaten non- Indigenes and their investments, you are creating a monster that will haunt you in the future.
Go to Port Harcourt, and see what I'm saying, take a walk along the industrial areas, ask yourself, where the owners are now
Go to Warri, with with seaport, and see wether it's functional. These are the products of militancy and insecurity and restiveness. When they youths were been told then, they were saying my oil my oil, our oil. Today, their employment is taking out from them.
If you don't take time in South West, the Niger- Delta experience, will be small.

See the way you dey call modular refinery like say na kain kain refinery, or you thinks say na those iron drums wey ijaw boys dey take cook diesel na him be modular refinery? The minimum cost of a small 1000 barrels per day refinery costs nothing less than $100 million, and am not even talking about the cost of land acquisition, licences and other cost necessary to build the refinery, before talking about cost of getting crude yo the refinery and running costs.
How many Niger Delta groups can afford it. Besides even now nothing stops anyone from getting a license and build a refinery if you have the money.

I no wan answer am. They are adept at making stupendous claims or playing the victim card. He is talking about oil from the east as if there are substantial oil deposits in the east. Even at that why would dangote pipe oil from the east when Ondo and delta states are nearby.
Then the pipes are in his imagination, because dangote will supply his refinery through ships. That's why he sited it next to the ocean. Besides, he will not rely on only on crude from Nigeria but can get crude from any other African countries or even outside Africa.
