This would have been a huge boost to Rivers economy and South South in general. Rivers govt played themselves on this one.

If we're being honest... That refinery is safer in Lagos.

South-south youths and elders are not yet ready to be serious in life!


...But, why did they abandon the older refineries?!! Why make the sector a monopoly in the hands of Dangote?!!

Nobody made it a monopoly for Dangote.

Even whilst Abacha was president, our refineries were not working.

What were you expecting a clever businessman like Dangote to do?

Continue watching?

As your state run schools were ran to the ground and entrepreneurs decided to set up private schools which function better, same with refineries.

Anything with civil servants in Nigeria, they must spoil it.

Ibifiri Bobmanuel, thank you. In one of my previous posts, I have said, that an investor is not interested in investing in a place where the peace of his investment, will be threatened. When the youths and people of Rivers and other Niger Delta areas, were flexing muscles under the name of militancy and oil, we told them, but the couldn't listen.
When the Northerners were using religion and culture to scare away investors, we said,they never listened. With all the arable land in their possession,no serious investor is looking towards that end.
The people of South East, under the guise of agitation for Biafra, are causing lots insecurity, making investment their, very difficult for big time investors. In the next 10-20 yrs, these agitators, will see the negative effect it will have on the economy of South East.
The people of Lagos State and South West, should be careful, the way,the treat non- Indigenes and potential investors. International community and investors are watching. Dangote is neither a Lagosian, nor a South Westerner, but look at the massive investment in Lagos. When you threaten non- Indigenes, you are threatening investors, no matter the class, every investor,no matter the class, has its contribution to both the IGR and employment within the region or state.
Therefore, Leaders in the South West, especially Lagos State, should be careful in their dealings with potential investors. Learn a lesson from what is happening in other regions.
Oil is been produced from the South-South, but headquarters of the multinationals are here in Lagos.
Think and act wisely.
I don't think SW are hostile to investors rather it is the people in government that are always an adversity to investors because they want bribes and kickbacks that may not be reasonable and affordable to the potential investors.

Forget about what happened during election, it was blown out of proportion by the so called social media

Which one should we believe now? Ondo or Rivers
Zombies have been telling us all along that Mimiko was the one who cost Ondo the refinery
Another zombie is telling us the refinery was meant for Rivers.
Funny thing is the governor of Rivers around the time this fictitious story was said to occur is Rotimi Amaechi

[color=#006600]The corruption from the other side of the country is too too massive cos I no see the reason why a country cannot come together and stand a standard refinary to be functional for the sake of the masses but a single entity did it within a wake of 3 to 4years and and you said we are one Nigeria. I must say that some people just want the country to be one sided that's 2hy all these things are like this cos if it were an Easterner that built that refinary, the government and other bad belle will frustrate him not to complete it or better still, they will not give him the room to start it but look at a northern person single Handley did it without stress. We have a sharp long way to go for this country

Thank you.The solution is to run all sectors of the economy in form of public private partnership while the government regulate them through the various ministries and agencies.
This will ensure efficiency and even creation of Jobs and revenue for the government in certain areas.

Refinery is too big na.....come and do ordinary POS business and see how these guys will keep extorting the hell out of you. The biggest casualties of these evil going on in Rivers state are commercial drivers, outside the NURTW levy....you will hear "line money, community money, chairman money. The chairman they are referring to here is not the LGA chairman o, it's their confra chairman. The situation in Rivers state needs a governor who is educated and civilize.

"Asiwaju of Nigeria" was how Dangote kept calling Buhari's successor who the people of Rivers State massively voted for in the last election.

The people of Rivers State know how to chase you to either fortunes or misfortune. As for Dangote, he is fortunate and he has the people of Rivers State to also thank for their thoughtful action.

But as for Peter Obi who Dangote did not even mention just once, grin and who the people of Rivers State chased out of the race ensuring that he and his Master Atiku do not get into Aso Rock with their votes. I want to say, Rivers State will continue to be a great blessing to Nigeria.

It is good to always support people who are born to always be successful in anything they touch, like Dangote like Tinubu, and not born failures like Atiku like Peter Obi.

Once again, thank you the People of Rivers stay. Prosperity will be your reward. The kind of prosperity which is so abundant that those wishing to suffer for the next 4/8 years will not be ashamed to come and beg from you.

but obi won rivers state? inec declared rubbish and will be held accountable.

Rivers state is not that liberal in things like this.

Join others like Alhaji Aliko Dangote,GCON, invest in Lagos and Yorubaland. Take your investments away from unfriendly and hostile states and bring them with your talents to Lagos and Yorubaland.

Your investments will be safe and bring you great returns for as long as you do not hate us your Yoruba host and you do not dabble into our politics. Our land will not bless you if you live and do business in Yorubaland and hate us.

Our land is blessed and ready to host you, your family and your investments and bless only those who love us. You're just wasting your time and resources if you live and do business in Yorubaland but hate the Yoruba. Yorubaand will not bless you.

God bless Nigeria for ever.

Rivers and delta are one of most unfriendly places for business, I remember it was cheaper to send goods to sokoto from Lagos than to send it to rivers or delta, there own agbero get PhD from Havard, they kill at will if you don't comply and nothing will happen

Having that same issue in Akwa Ibom state where local government and communities are chasing companies away with their outrageous demands.. example is Eastern Obolo and Ikot abasi fighting over crude oil on who owns the land thereby disrupting operations... I don't know when and how we are going to be civilize upstairs... Imagine the development this company is going to bring to these areas but yet the youths and the leaders are myopic.. Just too bad.

What you wrote here is rubbish.
The primary reason of settings up a business in a particular place is nearness to resources and nearness to market.

Rivers state or the Niger delta states are close to the resources but the place that is close to market in setting up the refinery is Lagos.

When the products of the refinery are ready there a seaport in Lagos,loading point for crude is also in Lagos.

When dangote setup his tomato company or when the Lagos state and kebbi went into rice farming they didn't come to Lagos..


Now to the issue of restiveness raise as reason of the movement of the refinery,since the militant have been integrated by learning trade or been paid monthly allowance the news of their restiveness has subside.
Which means the problem can be solved.You can come to my village and be making billions in the Niger delta and not investing in the community trouble must come and the Niger Deltans have no regret about youth restiveness in the area.

There is already a refinery in Rivers state,delta state and their benefits are not laudable enough to curry dangote to establish another one there.

The main benefits of the refinery is to all Nigerians I don't see while you are giving this narrative
