I won't lie, say what you like about Dave Umahi regarding his political inclinations, but the man has really tried for Ebonyi state...even more impressive that he has built all this infrastructure with a budget not even up to a quarter of what most states in Nigeria get. Stakeholders in oyel rich states like Bayelsa and Delta should be ashamed at their leaders for failing them massively despite the huge Federal allocations they receive smh

How about your governor, benue state is richer than ebonyi but your governor Ortom did nothing for the past 8 yrs

MONEY
SEX
LOVE
ATTENTION.

If a man can’t give me enough of these 4 things I listed above in my marriage, I’ll gladly divorce him.

BTW, the lady should be happy that the ERROR called marriage has ended. A better man who would appreciate and respect her career must surely locate her.

There is no need for you to marry in the first place , get your own money , find your own love , and you will get the attention you need

God1000:
Coming from another dictator, he's a friend of Putin, why should NATO send troops when Ukraine isn't a member of the military alliance? That will lead to world war III.

Putin should withdraw his soldiers from Ukraine, then there will be peace.

You invaded my country, killed my people, destroyed the infrastructure and expect me to negotiate with you

Kid , you sound like Russia is losing the war

Originalsly:
Refineries are not usually located close to large residential areas because of the pollutants and their effect on health. In developed countries the EPA is very proactive .. emissions are closely monitored and laws are consistently enforced. What is our track record on pollution? It seems like we as a nation are ignorant of the effects of this kind pollution. When the effects start taking a toll on our health we will either blame village people or the devil. We neither have the capacity to monitor pollutants nor the capacity to manage the consequences.

Exactly my thoughts

He will be sacked by the court

tecnolad:
I can say why they collapsed:

1. They weren't quick to develop an android app, and when they did, they maintained the same UI and UX they had on S40 and S60. This was bad to navigate on touchscreen devices.

2. They had Whatsapp as a competitor, and unlike 2go, Whatsapp didn't need you to buy GC to do basic stuff. Also, it was easier to connect with friends, since you only needed to have their phone numbers.

3. They didn't work on their marketing and geographic expansion game. They only had African users, out of which 80% are Nigerians.

Plus there were too many fake profiles on 2go ,it was taken over by kids begging for recharge card

Starhearts:
because of IPOB..

Those IPOB miscreants fill blow am up

No where is safe ie East expect ebony state

Why not akwa ibom , Ondo or ogun?

Dsalvo:
Well, corruption is always an issue with Nigeria and I can't be quick to dismiss your valid concerns, as others do, because I know the reality if Nigeria.

After all, it was someone in the Lagos planning permission board that looked away while the developer Osibona extended a residential tower with approval for 15 floors to 21 leading to the collapse of the tower in Ikoyi killing many including the developer himself.

The aggressive marketing of land around the Dangote refinery axis, using the refinery itself as an attraction to lure wealth-chasing investors to the area, is a worry.

We have to hope strict supervision is deployed regarding sales of land and respect for set-backs in the area around the refinery. That is my main worry.

Thank you
You are the only one that understand my concern on this particular topic , others think I'm just been jealous and tribalistic , far from it

Flangelo12:
Thats what you want.

If it had been in Igboland you would have been beating your small chest.

You know what I want?

Flangelo12:
It would have done so everywhere else.

You are angry that it was done in Lagos.

You wish it was at 9th Mile so you can start your usual chest beating.

Refinery in 9th mile ? How does that add up?

Basic123:
You will not be this disturbed if its in Anambra.

We know you people

Anambra itself is too populated for that type of refinery

Flangelo12:
No, your anger is that, yet another feather has been added to Lagos' cap.

Anger ? What Anger ? I have no anger whatsoever cause everyone will benefit from that refinery
Another feather is added to Lagos yes , but the question what about the environmental pollution this feather will cause

Basic123:
MIMIKO chased him from ONDO.

It pained me!

Why did mimiko chase him away from Ondo ?

Dsalvo:
Your concerns are valid but I am confident the exhaustive environmental impact assessment studies done has taken care of potential problems noted.

Nothing and no one is perfect but big projects like this tend to have very solid, comprehensive and effective EIA reports and it appears the Dangote refinery project does from studies I have read.

The challenge is for relevant agencies to also adhere to guidelines and residential set-back recommendations without allowing corruption compromise their dedication to duty.

The site itself was chosen strategically and carefully as meeting criteria for location of the refinery.

We pray, the refinery doesn't turn to a nightmare for people of Lagos , it's a good development though

Akungitit:
Why?
You want Dangote refinery in Onitsha?

Onitsha is next to Lagos when we talk about density population , so no

JaredH:
because he didn't build it in your polluted ND?

stupid minorities 😂😂😂

But the refinery will cause pollution in the small crowned city of lagos

Etranshub:
btw the current location is just about an hour from Ondo state by bike

That's why I said he should have built it in Ondo or ogun instead lagos is too populated and small

Flangelo12:
It has a lot to do with your tribe.

You guys think only one way.

I'm not here to discuss tribe with you

Flangelo12:
What does population have to do with it?

Won't people work in the refineries?

Won't there be satellite towns and businesses in proximity to the refineries?

Aren't the lives of those in the vicinity not important?

Be truthful, your only purpose for opening the thread is to spread bile over great achievement.

I'm sure you are an Obidient.

You clearly don't understand this topic I raised , with this comment you just made

beerfraud:
are u a ibo?

Of course I'm igbo from enugu, and my post has nothing to do with tribe

Ingocof:
You can take it to Agulu in Anambra state.

Anambra is too populated for such refinery as well

Nice2023:
U are making a big sense but the people who are replying u don't even know the implication of pollution in their ecosystem...what they are after is money,food but after all this comes health which money can't buy.

No matter the gain that company will bring to Lagos, The environmental pollution will hit badly

Flangelo12:
It is a stupid thought.

If it were sited in Ondo state, won't people live there?

The refineries in Warri did not kill people.

Is the population in Ondo and warri the same with the one in Lagos?

Flangelo12:
It won't cause pollution in Ondo?

The population there is not much , plus there are forest with alot of trees there

thesicilian:
If you are afraid of pollution, are there no humans in those places? Is there any place in this country that the refinery if sited will not still attract large residential populations?

There are less population in other areas besides lagos , with huge Forest and trees to help clean up the air pollution

plumcomm:
transportation and access to raw materials and finished products,security,labor availability and other factors?.the sea also is a comparative advantage lagos has over those states you mentioned.you don't want to invest that huge and pack up in less than 10years because of this or that.

And what if people state packing out of Lagos cause of the environmental pollution it will cause the people of lagos on the long run

iammo:
Environmental impact accessment was made by experts

Epe is 75km

Lekki is 44 km

Closest area

How many km can air pollution travel ?

beerfraud:
Lagos, Ogun and Ondo states are the safe place compares to the state who used to kill their policemen

Out of these 3 States you mentioned , ogun and ondo are the best, why small and crowded Lagos that's my question

iammo:
No it can't

Air pollution travels far you know?

iammo:
It isn't built in a crowded area... Lekki Free trade zone is an industrial area far away from crowded zone

It's by the sea close to the Atlantic ocean and pollution can't reach mainland Lagos

I'm not talking about just the water pollution but the air pollution aswell , it can't reach mainland?

finallybusy:
He should have built it in Norway. That way the refined petroleum would remain there and Nigeria’s situation would stay the same. Na backwardness we like. Why the man wan pour sand for our garri?

There are many places in Nigeria he could have built this refinery , but lagos is too small and crowded
