The igbos must be cursed. Otherwise, why celebrate wealth whose true source remains unverifiable. Drug dealers, kidnappers and all sorts are awarded chieftainship simply because they can flaunt around dubiously acquired wealth. Tell me what this 34 year old boy acquired his wealth.

Worldremit has complied but azimo is stubborn.
A friend tried the online payment to domiciliary account and it worked.
The cash pickup is enabled too.
Only few banks are in operation (gtb, access, zenith, uba etc)

YoungB1a:
Pls did this affect PayPal because I'm finding it difficult to cashout cc Katlyst

bigtt76:
Exactly but a bad policy.

1. It's recognizing the black market and legit helping to channel forex there.

2. The black market would get saturated at a point in time because no business man or woman would go there to source forex for business and the black marketers would not sell to the banks at the CBN rate

3. Naira in circulation would be mopped up at a point in time resulting in the dollarization of the economy (no one would want tk be paid in naira)

4. At the end of the day, beneficiaries would have no option but to exchange with the banks or hoard in their domiciliary accounts.

Atk1nson:
so what happens to the like of worldremit that directly credit a/c in naira?

What's the fastest and logical route to get goods out of Lagos from Ibeju Lekki, north, south, east or west?

(That is, to move goods to places like Ibadan and Abeokuta in western Nigeria, or to move goods to eastern Nigeria via the Lagos-Benin Expressway, or to move goods to the north of Nigeria).

naptu2:
I think I need to explain a couple of things.

1) The refinery and in fact the entire Free Trade Zone is in Ibeju Lekki. Lekki (Phase 1 to Abraham Adesanya) is to the west of Ibeju Lekki, but all the goods that are going to go to and from the Free Trade Zone are going to be moved through the north (through Ogun), east (through Ondo) and south (through the Atlantic Ocean. Lekki Peninsula will not be significantly affected.

2) There are already facilities to move goods through the north and south of the Free Trade Zone. Dangote has built his port. There is already a road that links Epe and Ijebu Ode (in Ogun State) and there is already a lighter terminal in Epe on the Lagos Lagoon. Dangote also already has a jetty on the lagoon.


3) Ondo State, Ogun State and Lagos State are building roads to the north and east of the facility. Will they be ready before the refinery is ready? Maybe, maybe not, nobody knows, just as nobody knows if the refinery will be ready before the roads. Remember that the refinery was originally scheduled for completion in 2016, then 2018, then 2019, then 2020 and now 2021. Nobody knows if it will be ready by 2021.

4) What happened in Apapa is not a failure of planning, but rather an example of the indiscipline of Nigerians (both in and out of government).

This gridlock in Apapa did not exist when I was a kid in the '70s and '80s, so I had to ask myself what changed. I wrote this while trying to find an answer, but I need to include two things that I previously left out.

The reason that they stopped piping is because militants break open the pipelines at Arepo in Ikorodu and steal the product.

The railway system collapsed in the 1990s. C2000 Aliko Dangote made a proposal to lease vacant land at Apapa Port for his flour business. There was an outcry when he was given the land. People said that the government was favouring him. In order to appear impartial the government then gave some land at the port to Flour Mills of Nigeria. The problem is that the land that was given to Flour Mills contains a portion of the railway and they built their factory right over the railway line, so not trains could run from Ebute Metta to the port. The government is now demolition that factory as it constructs the new standard guage line.

saajus:
Great question. They better run a rail line to his refinery.

naptu2:
What has that got to do with whether the roads will be ready on time and what has it got to do with Lekki in Eti-Osa?

naptu2:
No.

By the way, are you a soothsayer?

nthony10:
I think that's why the governments of Lagos and Ogun are seriously working on the Epe Ijebu-ode axis

Beverlyjean:
While reading other peoples comments, it shows how many educated illiterates we have in this country... how can they think that a refinery and a tank farm are same...

Lekki is not overhyped...u cant afford it dont mean u should condemn it ...but if have the money, u will run to lekki...typical black man....condemning what they can't afford

naptu2:
Furthermore, there's also a proposed Green Line railway project to take passenger traffic from Marina, through Eti-Osa to the Lekki Free Trade Zone.

Bizibi:
The government and dangote can go into agreement to construct a railway.it will be easy for him to move his product and not be a burden to the residents in the area.

naptu2:
1) Dangote Refinery is in Ibeju Lekki Local Government, while Lekki (Abraham Adesanya, Lekki Phase 1, etc.) are in Eti-Osa Local Government.


2) Eti-Osa Local Government will not be significantly affected by the refinery.

3) It will actually make Ibeju Lekki more attractive. Dangote Refinery is in the Lekki Free Trade Zone area and this area is mainly occupied by businesses and the refinery will attract more businesses.

4) Most of the goods from the Free Trade Zone area will not pass through Eti-Osa.

5) Ondo State Government is building an expressway from Araromi to Ibeju-Lekki in order to take advantage of the Free Trade Zone.

6) Ogun and Lagos State Governments are building an expressway from Ijebu to Ibeju-Lekki to take advantage of the Free Trade Zone area.

7) Dangote had already built his port in the area. A lot of the equipment for his refinery could not come through the Apapa Port and so he built his own port to handle them. Goods will be moved out of Lagos through that port.


8 ) The Lagos State Government is also building both a seaport and an airport in the area.

9) There will also be a jetty on the Lekki Lagoon through which goods will be moved to Ikorodu, Epe and other parts of Lagos by barges.

hola106:
Am very sure it will promote actives around that environment soon also epe will be the biggest advantage and beneficiary of these more my concern is the road leading inward and out of Epe

Katlyst:
Pipelines are prone to compromise and vandalism in our country.

CodeTemplar:
He should be smart enough to build a pipeline to a less congested location from where his product will be lifted to other States.

ntyce:
I think this would have been factored in by the Govt and Dangote.

I'm sure they have plans cos Lekki is for the rich, they won't want to turn their abode to another Apapa.

The trucks may be forced to go through Epe and make Epe people suffer.

ednut1:
He will still make use of apapa via the sea and epe road

Katlyst:
Considering the hype about Lekki as hotcake destination for real estate investment,
the presence of an oil refinery creates jobs and brings rapid development to surrounding communities. However, Lagos is still having traffic issues with Apapa sea port and it's beyond the control of Presidency.

Will Apapa trucks disappear with the arrival of Lagos to Ibadan railway?
Will Dangote oil tankers make Lekki unattractive?
Will FG compel Dangote to use only shipping routes (Lekki to Apapa, Warri and Calabar)?

But Dangote Group Executive Director Devakumar Edwin told an OTL (Oil Trading and Logistics) Expo in Lagos that fuels would go via “shuttle” boats to Nigerian cities Warri and Calabar, and that other deliveries would go in trucks.
