God bless bokku market.

Thunder faya ibobotámus people

StreetFight:
Same as South Africans who listed Igbos as dominating their hard drug market
Same as Indian who knows that 4 in every 5 drug distributor arrested is an Igbo
Same as Indonesia, Thailand, e.t.c.

O boy,you really hate Igbos people....

Very unfortunate, Igbos in Lagos should embark on a permanent boycott of this supermarket, other non yourbas can join.
The attack on Igbo has has gone too far.

A responsible government can just sit and watch all sides attacks on a particular people just because it lost elections in the state.

But off course some Igbos will still go and buy their rubbish. An Agbado supermarket can never be better than an Igbo market stall that is a fact that is why they have to do an add to descredit Igbos.

MrGerald:
For your mind you're the one buying the goods right? You have to eat first or at worse save from your salary for cheap aso oke. You people live in delusion and focusing in Lagos alone. Are Yorubas also the ones purchasing in big commercial cities like Onitsha and Aba?

NwOSU, stop crying and relocate your wares back to your billionaire region and let’s see who really is living in delusion…..how many Yorubas do you see migrating to your region to invest or do business? That should tell you the economic disparity between the two region continue deceiving yourself and creating your own happiness online🤣🤣🤣

That was a very offensive ad. Good that they've apologized.

chiagozien:
“It’s so relaxing to shop without someone pulling you from the left and right, shouting my colour.”

But you see the above? It has become a major menace in Nigerian markets. Someone has to do something about it.

She actually say the reality on ground.What she said is the usual talk in Lagos and all tribes know and talk about it but we termed it what makes Lagos unique like it a good thing. Her offence is voicing it out on social media and us>ng it in advertisement slogan.

It is annoying when you go to places like yaba to shop and you are been harassed by every tom and harry who call themselves traders in the name of seeking customers. It became worse when you are a female and we !all act like it is normal. The moment someone talk about it, we shout tribalism.

I can't imagine me going to Asaba here and be harassing people to buy my wares.

Brenbentondiaz:
Someone said the truth, and people who always fooool themselves that they always stand for the truth are calling for her head. Ironic.

ycat:
Even the lady involved could be a snake with a Yoruba name like they all burrow-use.

She is Yoruba
The facial features
The accent
The H factor

Are all Yoruba ..just that she is shallow and daft

chiagozien:
People that are taught from kids by their parents to hate omo Igbos.

And have not achieved anything from the failures they call parents after their hate.

shortgun:
I don't know if it's ignorance or you are being mischievous.
Imo state alone has over 7 oil producing companies operating in the state. So what are the oil companies doing in the state if the oil is not in commercial quantity as you claim.

Give us the names of the companies please and where they operate from. I can then check their daily weekly monthly and annual output to corroborate your position. No wahala if I’m wrong I’ll be corrected. Statistics back up my position though bro.

We are just being political correct, everyone knows say if you no open eye, omo Igbo go cheat you left, right and center. And na south south I come from oooo

Absolutely, I was sold a perm sandals for N110k at a Boutique thinking I got a top class product. 3 weeks later I found exactly same sandals at Oshodi Arena selling for N28k. I felt like a real mugu….. it ‘s business but …….🤷🏾‍♀️

chiagozien:
Go watch the video and stop disgracing yourself.


Omo Igbo is not the problem, you can watch what the Yoruba bigot said here 👇👇

Just for strong emphasis...

You and several others of your kind are a well known ethnic bigots on this NL website threads (and other online platforms run by paid ipob troll farms) constantly spewing massive hate speech and disinformation daily basis for many years now with massive digital EVIDENCE against you. "You're a black pot calling a kettle black."

While I do not totally agree with her using Omo Ibo (it simply means an "Ibo person" or "Ibo child" which is NOT an ethnic slur) in her online ad which can be misconstrued by mischievous propagandists, elements of what that young lady said (who I'm just getting to know for the first time ever) are TRUE with some traders of Ibo origin in Lagos, and other States [with Enugu State-based middle men beans hoarders reported in the media coming to mind here as reported in 2025 on NL and the mass media] ripping people off with high cost of local and imported goods and food items to make excessive profits as reported in the media and like VDM duely exposed BL recently and the fact that some young Ibo traders have been called out several times for pulling the cloths and making insulting and SEXIST statements about many women who come to buy from the regular open markets around major cities in Nigeria which eventually led to past public protests by several women and human rights advocates. The hypocrisy from some of you stinks as there is a digital trail of hate speech and deliberate disinformation from your ilk on YouTube, Facebook, X, NL, and blogs for several decades now.

Bros talk no dey full basket



Below is an expanded, organized list of oil & gas companies with known operations or significant projects in Imo State, plus drilling / well work and local servicing/fabrication companies that support the industry there. I grouped them so you can quickly find upstream producers, midstream/gas players, refining & petrochemical, drilling/well contractors (who deliver wells for projects in the area) and locally-based service/fabrication firms.

Upstream producers & operators (produce crude or operate fields in Imo)

Antan Producing Limited (APL) — NNPCL subsidiary operating the Izombe flow station (Oguta LGA, Imo). APL took over several OMLs in the area and produces at the Izombe facility.

Orashi Petroleum Development Company Ltd — indigenous upstream company focused on the Iheoma field and other onshore activities in Imo State.

Seplat Energy Plc — independent Nigerian E&P company with assets that include OML 53 (onshore, covering areas that extend into Imo); Seplat is also a partner in the ANOH gas project.

Renaissance / African Energy (mentioned in local sources) — referenced among companies contributing to Imo’s oil & gas activity (local press roundups). (local reporting).


Midstream & gas processing (major Imo projects)

ANOH Gas Processing Company (AGPC) — operator of the Assa-North / Ohaji-South (ANOH) gas processing project located in Imo State. AGPC (a JV structure including Seplat and the Shell JV partners) developed the ANOH gas plant to process wet gas from the unitized ANOH field; upstream well delivery was done by the upstream unit operator (SPDC/partners). This is the largest gas processing/midstream project in Imo.


Refining & petrochemical (Imo-based)

Waltersmith Petroman Oil Limited (Waltersmith Modular Refinery) — modular refinery and associated petrochemical activity at Ibigwe, Ohaji-Egbema LGA. Waltersmith’s modular refinery (initially 5,000 bpd with staged expansion plans) is one of Imo’s flagship downstream projects.


Drilling, well delivery & upstream contractors (who delivered wells / work for Imo projects)

SPDC (Shell Petroleum Development Company) / upstream unit operator — attended the upstream delivery of ANOH wells (SPDC was the upstream unit operator for Assa North wells in the ANOH development). The ANOH operator arrangement and delivery of production wells is documented in project descriptions.

Major international service/drilling contractors (examples: Schlumberger, Halliburton, Baker Hughes, NOV, etc.) — these contractors commonly provide drilling, completions and well services across the onshore Niger Delta (including contract work for unit projects). Specific assignment to a given well or campaign varies by contract and operator; for ANOH and other major projects the upstream operator awards drilling/completions contracts to selected contractors. (If you want, I can try to pull which contractor ran each specific ANOH well — that requires looking at drilling campaign announcements and operator tender results.)


Local oil & gas servicing, fabrication and support companies based in Imo

Ariboil Company Limited (Egbu, Owerri North) — steel fabrication, solids-control and oilfield fabrication services (pressure vessels, mud solids control systems, fabrication yard in Egbu, Owerri). Useful for local fabrication, pipe spooling and solids control equipment.

Orashi Free Trade / Orashi Special Energy FTZ contributors — developers and service providers tied to the Orashi energy/free-trade initiatives in Imo (infrastructure to support logistics, storage and downstream services).


Additional companies & names mentioned in local reporting (worth checking)

Oando PLC, Sterling Global Oil Resources, Antan Producing Ltd, Orashi, Seplat, Waltersmith — these names appear in local lists and local media summaries as active or invested in Imo’s oil & gas ecosystem. (Local press and regional business write-ups).

Quick notes & practical details

ANOH = major gas anchor for Imo. The ANOH Gas Processing Plant is explicitly sited in Imo State and is the largest midstream project in the area — it supplies processed gas, LPG and condensate to the domestic market. Upstream well delivery was handled by the upstream unit operator (SPDC/partners) while AGPC operates the midstream plant.

Waltersmith is the headline downstream project. Waltersmith’s modular refinery at Ohaji-Egbema (Ibigwe) has been widely reported as ready/commissioned in stages and continues expansion discussion; it’s a key local employer and downstream anchor.

Local services exist but some specialised drilling work is awarded to national/international contractors — local fabrication and solids-control firms (example: Ariboil) supply components and services, while large drilling rigs/completions are typically provided under contract by specialised drilling companies (selection depends on operator tenders).

Anyone saying south east doesn't have oil is either ignorant or mischievous.

Watch this video, Imo State government talked about 7 oil companies operating in the state.

This also, is the 2024 annual report of The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) it contains state by state crude oil production.

MrGerald:
LoL for you in your normal delusion all the Igbos live in SW? It's only the fraction of the population I have nothing to do with you. And why are you always showing your dirty brown teeth?

🤣🤣indeed, keep lying to yourself……we already know majority of you can’t survive without the market and purchasing power of the Yorubas. We control the formal sector of the economy, that’s why we are captains of industries while majority of you are informal traders that need the Lagos population which majority are Yorubas to survive…..kiss the hard truth

Racoon:
The only thing that unite them is the unbridled hatred for the land of the rising sun.

the rising sun too got no love for the west, so bury your hypocrisy

And they will never achieved.



We're already used to their hat!red

SonOfDSoil01:
we are only reciprocating the gesture……no one as the monopoly for that. You leave your unproductive potopoto caveland for Lagos Yoruba and was accommodated and given a conducive environment for your business to thrive. You became so comfortable and started disrespecting your host calling us all manner of derogatory names even called our land “no man’s land, we even voted your ethnic messiah in Lagos whereas you voted based on tribalism in your neck of woods and accuse the Yorubas of tribalism but we are now ready to play the long game. If Lagos tire Una, Una go relocate back home

Other ttribes like Benin, Hausas, Benue, Crossrivers, etc also left their homelands too for Lagos but you won't talk about them because they are not doing well like the Igbos.

Hatred has no better description that this

ibedun:
Your presence and numbers will inevitably bring open confrontation. It’s better you direct your energies towards developing Alaigbo.

The same way you developed your hometown abi?

Did Tiinubu develop his hometown Iragbiji?

You are just trying to defend what she said.


Even the said lady has apologized, but here you are still defending her.


It wouldn't cost anything to just say:

" She's wrong, and I hope she apologize"

I just love the fact that these breed of Igbo children are not ready to take these trash... I just love it
