She isn't smart and doesn't have a glorious future with the way she behaves here, just stop it.

franchasng:
Very interesting topic going on here.

You know, many people think Americans and Europeans are mad when they started abandoning their light industries and started moving productions to Asia, mostly China.


They were doing it to save their dying environment being polluted by several industrial productions. China being a country that doesn't care about environmental hazard, accepted those industries some decades ago and today environmental pollution is killing China that some weeks, you can hardly see beyond 1 meter in Beijing and Shanghai.


The refinery will definitely have serious negative impact on Lagos state environment of course. But the leadership of Lagos state is more concerned with the revenue it would generate for them in terms of tax returns and all other direct and indirect levies.


This is the same mistake Nigerian leaders made with allowing only Lagos seaports to function optimally thinking they were shortchanging some sections of the country but today, Apapa is a no go area. The whole area is messed up that people are relocating from Apapa unlike before that Apapa was among the glories of Lagos.



Same thing will happen in Ibeju Lekki with this Dangote refinery.


Dangote is a black man not even a Whiteman. Whitemen couldn't manage the adverse effects of heavy industries in their region talk more of a monopolistic black business man like Aliko Dangote.


This made me to put my land at Ibeju Lekki for sale even though many people project that it would be the next Banana Island in terms of real estate appreciation, but I pity those planning to go and live there with their family members.


The reason we have cancer and several unprintable terminal diseases in the Western countries is as a result of heavy industrialization which they are seriously campaigning for collaboration to save the earth through climate change initiatives people like Prince Charles the waiting King of England have been busy campaigning for along with US President Joe Biden and many other world leaders.


The only thing saving the western countries from the serious adverse effects of these heavy industries is their wonderful Healthcare system which Nigeria don't have.


Such project ought to have been sited in a thick forest with lots of trees and nearby sea/ocean to cushion the pollution.


I developed some breathing related issues after living in some heavily industrialized cities in Asia, and I am still struggling with it. So I pity those living around the refinery when it will start full operation.

I made a transfer to a man whom I buy bulk knitting wool from, but he told me that the account have been frozen and he doesnt have any plan to go and unfreeze it cause he have gone to the bank four times they didn't unfreeze it.
Is there any way I could get my money back? cause the man have already told me that my money is gone, cause there is nothing he can do.
And the money isn't even mine, I am just a middleman for people who want to buy wool in large quantities.
Pls nairalanders is there a way I can get my money back??

Hashabiah:
Boiling water? Hahahaha...the heat is above that my brother. Most refineries deal with super-heated water. And that boils above 100 degrees. We have not even mentioned the gas flaring and the oxides of sulphur that will be unleashed from the flares. But who am I to complain. After all, I am not in lagos and I am not an indigene.

HedwigesMaduro:
The government will never agree to that. How else do you want those morons in government get kickbacks if the church should construct that road? How do you want them to award the contract every year and pocket the money if the church should fix it?

Hashabiah:
You are right. The pollution in lagos will not only harm the air, but it will also harm the environment in terms of crude waste disposal. I just hope that the government will be able to make laws that will enable better management pollution in that state

MufasaLion:
Tell that yo your kids. Goodday!

MufasaLion:
The church doesn't own the road but the road is the only way he his followers can get yo his church and pay their tithe. So if he should patner with government concerning the road is it a bad idea?. Must everything be business?

Hashabiah:
Lagosian have not thought of the long term effect of having a refinery in Lagos. But I know by the time people start swallowing atmospheric pollution in the form smog and flue gases, then they will wake up and cry.

yomi007k:
Good for you.

MufasaLion:
Africans!!!!. But the road leading to the infrastructure is nothing to write home about for many years.

Black will always be Black anyways!

yomi007k:
Can you guarantee safety and security in those areas?

If you were Dangote, can you put your money in such a place? I hope you have done businesses before. Supervison and management alone is a serious task.

It is enough risk building a refinery. It is much bigger risk siting them in such locations.
