Dangote should source his feedstock anywhere he so pleases and leave the country alone. Also, the refinery wasn't constructed to consume the nations crude. It was constructed because Dangote wanted to explore the industry. Nigeria must not be made an estate of Dangote

Very myopic thinking.

This was never an issue until some people started saying stupid things " no man's land" .

DeLaRue:
That is neither true nor fair.

Crude oil and petroleum are 2 of the most international products in the world. It is not about serving 'your nation'.

Companies, irrespective of their country of origin are selling crude oil 24hrs a day to whoever is interested. The fact that Shell explore oil in the Niger delta doesn't mean they care whether they sell to a Nigerian company or a company in Colombia.

Everybody is buying from wherever they can get.

The US is the largest producer of crude oil, and it produces more than it needs, but US refineries still buy from other countries if they get a better deal.

Companies are in business to make money. Whoever is ready to pay, they will sell to. They don't care about country or no country.

If Companies in the country they are located aren't ready to pay their price, they will sell to another company in another country.

The US produces more than they need but during the OPEC oil crisis in the 70's according to reports released by the CIA several years later, the US actually considered seizing the Niger Delta oil if the embargo persisted.
If the US would consider such an extreme measure to protect the well-being of their economy and by extension the well-being of the Americans people why are we so lackadaisical about the well-being of our own people?

DeLaRue:
The man mentioned Shell and Mobil as the bigger players. And he is correct.

At no point did he say local importers were bigger than Dangote as you have claimed.

Shell and Mobil who are the biggest crude oil exploration companies in Nigeria operate refineries around the world with combined capacity that exceed Dangote's. They need to supply their own refineries.

Shell and Mobil also operate filling stations across the world. Dangote doesn't operate any.

The two companies are also some of the biggest international crude oil sellers in the world. These are the power brokers in crude oil exploration, marketing and refining.

So, the man is correct. Shell is several times bigger than Dangote. So is Mobil.

These "big players" serves their home countries at the expense of Nigeria and at the expense of the Nigerian people.
What contracts? They are basically robbing us. Moreover, they wouldn't dare spill a gallon of oil in Europe or America but they destroyed the whole Niger Delta with oil spill.
Big players my foot.

The Dumebi guy is a big fool. He spoke about everything except about our own National interest, about our own economy and the Nigerian people who are the real owners of the oil.
He started mentioning USA and big players who are bigger than Dangote, how does this concern or benefit the Nigerian people which is the only important part as far as I am concerned.
The same US that is always ready to go to war to keep oil supplies going?

Armaggedon:
what you do with your people is upto you and should not go for Igbos.

Right.

Armaggedon:
His mother is Igbo. That where he got the name

Donald Adeosun Faison, Yetunde Williams are some famous Americans with Yoruba names, this doesn't translate to them being Yoruba. Same goes for Ne-yo.

Peter Obi is an IPOB sympathizer.

Ayinla Omowura, Baba Legba etc. You don't even know the half of it. Yoruba is smooth like butter.

Armaggedon:
Half truths from a jobless rabble rouser. Many Igbos abroad have won Grammys two but many people don't know for the simple reason that Igbos don't believe that Grammy or Brits award is a ticket to heaven. Below are such Igbo winners.

Ne-yo does not have a Nigerian parent.

Hezzyluv:
They have fall their hand now. Next time, they will learn how to maintain their lane.

What they did is quite unprofessional. It's not like they even talked to anyone from Dangote. They just pulled some figures from the thin air.

God bless Reno, and Gob bless the children of Olodumare, the creator of all.

How can they issue a preemptive statement speculating about the prices of another company's products!

ObalendeCMS:
I can "befriend" a Yorúbá woman but I can't marry her.

Reasons best known to me.

Look at how Yoruba women are falling over themselves trying to marry you.
God bless Odualand.

Ruptured pipeline most likely.

MadamVanessa:


You don't support Kamala more than me, but the truth is , the time is not just ripe yet for a woman to lead the world most powerful nation.

Wait and see the atrocities of Islamic terrorists around the world if Kamala finally wins. They will even price USA because Kamala as a woman will bring so much emotions into politics and decision making. No woman has that steel balls like men.

Very naive comment.

Death penalty for human sacrifice. This has got to stop.

Vancerisky.
Isn't he the same guy who was allegedly having something going on with his couch? Weird is an understatement.

Eeyaa.

Nobody wants to be associated with the orange man.

Inteltower:
Chameleon we all know who started the online hate and gaslighting

It was the Yorubas that started throwing their countryman under the bus when the main xenophobic attack on Nigerians started

To save yourselves you wanted south Africans to focus on killing Igbos and their shops

We never forget you foooooool

I can bet my last kobo that you didn't even have a cell phone when it started.
Indeed you reap what you sow, our parents were right.
Look who is crying all over the internet.

Inteltower:
The whole fiasco with SA pageantry gradually turned to tribalistic gaslighting by most Yorubas who could not fail to mention SE/Igbos

Chidimma in question is part Nigerian and if she was even Yoruba/Northerner being attacked by xenophobic south Africans I trust my Igbo brothers to defend her

But why does Yoruba like instigating conflict

If you go through tweets about this whole xenophobic attacks on Chidimma..check Yoruba comments mainly and you will be disgusted with the kind of people you share country with

To me there is plainly no difference between Black south Africans & Yorubas...their toxic nature is quite unbearable. Their similarities is uncanny.

Yes there are internal squabbles in our country amongst tribes, parties religions & regions but when it comes to Pan-Africanism we must unite and declare it Loud that we are Africans

This is what we are trying hit home to south Africans to stop the hate..yes we banter and brag but we are remain brotherly to Ghanians, Zimbabwean, Cameronians, etc.

No African country is peculiar for a particular crime. Because they always repeatedly talk about drugs & fraud perpetuated by other Africans in their country, thus I and other Nigerians keep asking them

Who buys the drugs
Are South Africans not known for raping children and burning their women
The HIV part...
Personally I find it disgusting to attack a country based on these things but we should call out our brothers weda Nigerian or South African on these inhumane criminal acts rather than using them as an excuse to deepen hatred amongst ourselves while the white man claims our land & resources

But instead of some Yorubas to be pro-Nigerian or Pan-African...they will rather want to antagonize South Africans with the Igbos...to exempt themselves as saints

Skull miners & tribalistic bigots pretending they are the good Nigerians

Like seriously...we know una sha

Go through any of the Twitter posts on the SA pageantry to see how most Yorubas are really disgracing themselves

In the end who is more Nigerian in this country to the world?

If you can't defend a Nigerian/black African that's being attacked through xenophobia why do you want to add more fire to it so that Igbos will be targeted in general ??

There are questions to be answered regarding the civil war & what really caused it

This chameleon vibes by most Yorubas is really something else & scary

Deep respects to Yoruba but I must spit on gaslighting attitude

You do it here in the media; antagonizing the North against Igbos and export the same demonic activity to other countries.

To gain what in the end ?
Isn't it just pure witchcraft...

Eeyaa, we warned you when a small number of Ibos started this online hate campaign. You are basically reaping what you sowed.
We told you it will get out of hand, now look at you.

Cindypresh:
The post is about Nigeria not west Africa.

Ok, what boundaries are there between Yorubas in Nigeria that are not artificial?

samsononyilo:
So Theophilus Danjuma is a Fulani man?

People from southern part of Nigeria don't know anything about the north..

Really? Because one daft ipob wrote a bunch of nonsensical stuff?

FOLYKAZE:
This guy is mad

He hides in New Jersey but is asking Nigerian youth to confront Police. He kept his wife and children in a safe haven but pull Nigerians who have no where to run to into anarchy. His own son, 14 yrs is in a football academy, building his future but wants Nigerians to be on the street catching bullets and teargas cannisters. The end result of the protest he called is nothing peaceful.... He and his runaway wife should come and lead whatever protest from the forefront

He must earn his pay, he must satisfy his foreign sponsors.

Cindypresh:
It's very easy to know people who have never traveled pass their ilu-aje village in their entire life.

Kwara and kogi no get boundary with Yoruba land??

You even go school at all??

What boundaries are there between Yorubas in West Africa that are not man made?
Are they like the boundaries between SW and SE?

One Tweet from one Anonymous fellow and some folks are already seeing Hitler! How long was Nnamdi Kanu on Radio Biafra saying similar things to what the Nazis said about Jews?
If you can't swim don't jump in the water. Many of you writing all these sob stories actively supported Nnamdi Kanu and that is a fact.

43Ronin:
I wanted to say she's not ugly like most yoruba girls den I saw her mother is white. Even at that, you can see d yoruba ugliness creeping in

How many medals have won with your fine face?

Robin Hoodlum.

yoruboid:
I remember some days ago when a certain Nigerian girl won Silver for the USA, the usual suspects kept thumping their chests that it’s in their DNA to win and kept disparaging Nigeria while claiming she is not Nigerian but from the erosion laden five plots which they aspire to make a country

The silver medalist did not acknowledge them neither did she associate with the rascals that sit at home every Monday following a order from a criminal in Finland

However, see this beautiful and well bred omoluabi embracing her Yorubaness and even singing in Yoruba despite winning GOLD

Omoluabi is written in her genes. Space and time cannot erase it whenever that is the case.

gidgiddy:
Everyone knows that Nigeria was created by the amalgamation of North and South Proctectorates in 1914. What some people may not realise is that the British Colonial office actually considered declaring both protectorates seperate countries, but changed their minds for amalgamation due to economic and administrative considerations

Had the British not amalgamated North and South, Igbos and Yorubas would have found themselves to be the two largest ethnic groups in 'Southern Nigeria Republic'.

What do you think would have happened between Yorubas and Igbos in that situation?

Personally, I think Yorubas and Igbos would have fought a civil war within three years of that country becoming independent

Who said the two would have been in the same country?

Alphamentips:
If we call this country zoo now some ofe mmanu people ga-ebido ịgbọ́ ncha on top our matter.

Every night, while I lay in my bed I dream daily of an Igbo nation. I dream of leaving this country. I dream of a progressive and fast moving nation.

Yoruba and Hausa too dey do eye service for Oyibo. I don't even know how some people will value fiat currency over real resource. How hard is it to end terrorism at least to a minimal?

Facking joke of a nation.

Right, Evans the billionaire kidnapper is from where? What are you going to do about people like him when you get to Biafra?
