Oga naptu, thumbs up

This is a good periscope

Though it's not investigate journalism, a piece of bringing back reported issues by the tabloids

The Olokola, ondo state issue can't be fact


Well many things are hidden in nigeria

OP, how on earth will you talk about the origin of Dangote refinery without you talking about the amount that was used to purchase the land? Oh so, you don't want the omoniles in Ibeju-Lekki to know the real amount that was paid for their lands?

Well, I will help you do that:

Let me use this opportunity to loud it that, Dangote paid the sum of $100m for the lands he built his refinery and fertilizer plants.

Fortunately, I was part of the fertilizer project from 2017 to early 2020.

Peace out!
Before Nko? Did u want it to be free or leased. He must buy and pay money to the owners. What we are interested in is the development. SW people are so intelligent, they sell lands to strangers to help convert the bush to city knowing fully well that you cannot moved away your structures in future should anything happened. Some people can't sell Thier ancestral land to strangers because they can't think, now their shouting they develop Lagos as if they make money from outside Lagos to come and build in Lagos. The slogan is make money in Lagos and spend it in Lagos for Lagos development.

The yar adua / GEJ era reversed a lot of progress we would have built on after obj......
Apart from the sale of refineries being reversed, what other progress are you talking about?
Who were those who mounted pressure on him, who were those who castigated OBJ for privitasation?

Governor Fashola held several meetings with the host community in Ibeju Lekki before bringing Dangote to meet them. He did this so that the project would not suffer the kind of problems that the Olokola Refinery encountered. He told the host community that they should ask for what they want, but they should not ask for too much. He made it clear that the area would benefit a lot from the refinery, a lot more than the money that they would receive, so they should ask for what they want, but they should not demand too much.

Such a deep and emotional speech given by Fashola to sensitive the people. Ondo state governor failed his people on this one

The origin of the Lekki refinery

I have heard talk that the government wanted to build a seaport in the Lekki area since the 1980s. I also heard talk that the government wanted to build an airport in the Lekki area since the early 1990s (at that time some people were debating about whether the noise from planes would disturb people that lived in Lekki Phase 1. They didn't realise how big Lekki was).

However, all this talk was just that, talk. Nothing concrete was done about these ideas, in fact, the government did not even make public announcements about them, they were more like rumours among people that were close to government.

Nothing concrete was done until Bola Tinubu became governor of Lagos in 1999.

The Tinubu Administration proposed a free trade zone in the Lekki area. It would have a deep sea port, an airport, a refinery, a metro rail line, new residential estates, its own power plant, etc. Governor Tinubu travelled to China to attract investors to the project and most of the companies that were involved in building and running most of the industries and facilities at the free trade zone were from China.

Tinubu could envisage and do this while others can only dream because of the stupendous wealth in Lagos. SIMPLE

Arrant nonsense, the idea of Free trade zone was a policy of the Obasanjo administration and the Lagos state government merely tapped into it being the commercial nerve center of the country and also being a port city. Any other governor in Lagos state would have done the same so stop trying to give a charlatan like Bulaba credit for the initiative of others just because he tapped into an obviously good policy. The Obasanjo administration licensed a total of 22 free trade zones including the lekki free trade zone and it wasn't even the first choice for the Dangote refinery which was originally meant to be sited in Olokonla free trade zone before governor Amosun frustrated Dangote in siting the refinery there.
Re: The Origin Of The Lekki Refinery by Ferdinandu(m): 10:17am On Sep 06, 2024
We have heard and believed that Governor Tinubu carved out Lagos out of the Atlantic ocean and turned it to the biggest, cleanest,richest, safest City in the world and you all said he is going to do same in Nigeria. We are waiting just that I hope he won't kill us all with hunger first

The way Donald Duke also tapped into the same idea with Tinapa.

Tinubu who you miserable let claim is senseless before our very eyes is Lekki free trade zone is coming together puzzle by puzzle while Tinapa created by the wise, like brewery by the Pandora Criminal Peter Obi is now dead n buried yet foolish souls who witnessed this in their lifetime will open their foolish mouth n claim Tinubu can not achieve anything.

Ondo (your State) and Ogun, where the project was initially meant to be situated is North Central, abi? Aside Lagos (a cosmopolitan State), mention any predominantly Yoruba State in the South West that is more developed than Enugu or Port-Harcort.
