The same energy you people channel for this protest can also be use to protest against unknown gun men, Kano stood vehemently and resist bokoharam, despite insecurity in the North bokoharam never dare Kano, from what am hearing now ipob strike army yesterday in Aba, I know Aba is going to pay for it dearly, ndi igbo should do something before something do them.

What is the point of constructing the gas plant when this tension ipob is generating will result to full military operation there, incase you don't understand find out what North face because of bokoharam.
The way you guys talk..." Aba is going to pay for it dearly...". Pay dearly for what exactly? Concerning the subject matter, do you even know what they Imo community is talking about? How can you site a gas plant/station in a densely populated area? Who does that and who approves that?

ON OBY EZEKWESILLY
It took Oby Ezekwesili two seconds to comment about the National Anthem. But now that a National Disgrace is happening in her own backyard, with IPOB attacking and killing soldiers and unknown gunmen killing innocent people, the beautiful Oby has silently gone mute and dumb. We are watching!
Oby Ezekwesili, we sight you! You are quiet with all that is happening in the Southeast. IPOB is causing chaos and killings in Igboland and you have mechie onu. Were you not the one who wrote a letter to the Governor of Lagos demanding a breakdown of the ethnic origins of all those whose houses were demolished for blocking waterways and drainages? Was it not you who accused Lagosians of "ethnic baiting"? Today, you are silent. We see you, Obi. We see you!
The sit at home really pain you yoruba Muslims
I thought you guys always said nothing happening in the south east is your business,why is it hurting y’all so bad,even on Punch on twitter,na Yoruba ronu dey cry for our children writing Waec

Dem say dey no want gas plant in their community, no be fight.
there is no way the community was not engaged at the start of the project
no way the government was also not engaged
what they should be doing is ensuring the necessary safety standards are put in place
potential investors are also watching to see how this unfolds

this is how the communities in warri harrassed oil companies till they all pulled out.
now warri is a shell of itself

Truth is many communities like mine in Imo state, do not want oil and gas exploration in their communities.....make everyone dey continue hustling through business and education, avoiding the breeding of youths who would be demotivated to work because of handouts those companies will be giving the youths, I prefer youths in my community who are vocationally oriented to continue their shoe making apprenticeship and eventual ownership of shoe making businesses , they have been engaged in, for decades.

ON ALEX OTTI...
Last month, Yoruba nation agitators tried nonsense in Ibadan. The Governor of Oyo did not wait for any Federal Government. He used Oyo State's authority to arrest the perpetrators within hours of the incident. The very next day, Governor Seyi Makinde destroyed their houses. On the third day, they were in court. Today, they are in prison. That is a Governor!
Not this one that watches and does nothing while a separatist group causes killings, mayhem and chaos in his state. And this is the man Peter Obi, and Oby Ezekwesili praised as the best Governor![/quote]the governor of Abia state understands Igbo are not Nigerians but but Yoruba governor knows too well dat Yoruba land is Nigeria

igbos hate igbos, and that's why igbos will keep running away from their regions, it's obviously out of envy that some people want to stop another from his planned investment, probably in his hometown or whatever, and so now what doesn't endanger lives? is it the air that we breathe, or the mainroad we cross everyday?

it's better to give them a safety precaution or another site than to stop another man investment, ask yourself if na you how will you feel?

Africans need tough hands. Wetin concern papa eating chewing stick or youths playing draft with gas plants. Except the owners cut corners by indulging in sharp practice over the approval. Until then everybody there should keep quiet. Later you will come and be looking for jobs in oil companies probably as a gate man. Africa needs a new pathway!
Re: Protest In Imo Community As Government Closes Gas Plant Construction Site by Originalsly: 8:19am On May 31, 2024
Regardless of what the community say ... permission should never be given for a gas plant near to a residential community. The Governor should've been meeting with the EPA and whatever agency is responsible for the safety of residents.

An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.

Hopeless Uzodinjo at his best.
Lol! The animals in government are looking for settlement from the owner of the gas plant.
Simple and short.

The community was not engaged. One or two persons
cannot represent a community. The community was not involved from day 1. The community got to know one or two days to the day they dug the foundation. The community was never part of it.

Reason I am not interested in the exploration of oil and gas in my community in Imo state.....it will make the people lazy, the young ones will not be motivated to study nor learn vocational skills...they would want "free money"

The best safety is to site the gas plant away from densely populated areas. I know that the owners want to site the project in the present location in order to maximise profit, but the long time risk is too highband should not be ignored. I wouldn't be surprised, if some government and community leaders have been compromised. They approval should never have been given.
