They are not banking on the oil from the South South
Where do you get that from? That is YOUR assumption

It is a business and they can source oil from ANYWHERE

also they do not have to sell their products in Nigeria

Korea and India are among the largest refiners in the world they import their crude
For years Nigeria was importing petrol from European refineries which imported crude

The problem many of you have is ignorance and laziness
You do not need to be acocoa producer to make chocolate
70%of world cocoa is from Africa
You don't need to produce crude to refine

undecided who be this one again? This is what happens when you fail to read and comprehend but rush to comment……your Okoro bloda that i quoted was making an ignorant comment and yapping about Yorubas and Hausas using SS oil to develop Yoruba land and I had to lecture him that SW are also a major producer of crude oil. You clowns have always gone to town claiming that Sw doesn’t produce crude oil and I had to educate him so I don’t understand this long piece of gibberish you quoting in my mention because I didn’t even bother to read it, so maybe you can direct your frustration at him biko undecided

It is a shame to me if my 3 year old daughter see me arguing with you. Cause you are not Socially Educated you might be able to read and write But you shouldn't be allowed to have Public debate outside You're sitting room


And please what is the meaning of Otondo. Is it like you name or surname. Because i am wandering why you would start your sentence with your family name.







Well I am now educated so I don't know the meaning of The word otundo

Can you please enlighten me what the meaning in you family house. Because i have never in my life heard of that word. Otundo. But it sounds like a surname and since you like using it it most have a very close ties to you or you family. So I am guessing family name
😂😂😂story for the gods bikonu nwanne….I’m not the cause of your frustration because you have been crying on my mention since morning. I made a comment about how Yorubas accommodating nature and safe environment is attracting investors to Lagos and Yoruba land and you start deflecting and talking a whole lot of nonsense and claiming the contribution of other ethnic nationalities to the development of Lagos undecided pls how does that relate with the topic? If you can’t counter my claim with a superior argument, won’t you rather keep shut? I didnt base my argument on only Lagos but the Sw region but in Una typical nature, you centred everything around Lagos and I gave an example of Ogun state hosting most of the industries in Nigeria and I asked if it is not about a safe and conductive environment, then why is Sw still attracting more investment than other region and you deflecting talking nonsense. Most of you just come online and try to sound intelligent when you are far from it….this will be my last response to you, as I don’t have time to entertain ignorant comments bye undecided

They're still romancing with the North.

Once the relationship gets sour, they'll tell Dangote to go back to his village.

Right now, Lagos does not need a refinery. Lagos state is so over congested right now. In fact, over congestion is an understatement to make when it comes to how congested Lagos is right now
Re: Lagos Set For Second Private Refinery As Government Confirms New Investor Talks by gabbytabby: 12:23am On Dec 14, 2025
Too many at close proximity means pollution.

Mr Man,Rest with your LAMBA,for you are not the one to determine the numbers of Refineries in a State,for some of you are just ridiculous with so low a thought as it's coming from jealously,hate, and bitterness without any holistic views 🪟 of an event.
•For Example, Texas in USA- have about 30-40 Refineries and still Counting!
Since Una has nothing to talk but usually-like ' Lagos Is Congested ' as if the Lagosians are Complaining!
Let There Be More Industrial Development in Lagos!

stuffs2002:
You are praying that the upcoming refinery will fail due to envy and bitterness
You and your kind will be put to shame
Oga stop this sentimental prayer. I am saying the true reality of governments run by propaganda. Let us bet after 2027 you will never hear anything ob the refinery again.
You say envy and bitterness, please in what way? How does siting a refinery in Lagos or not siting in Lagos add a million dollars to my bank account? Sometimes ehnnn i wonder if you are a 10year old talking or an adult talking.
Re: Lagos Set For Second Private Refinery As Government Confirms New Investor Talks by Gaabasky: 8:49am On Dec 14, 2025
Ondo state should wake up since Ogun no way learn. How I wished I am a governor I would have shown others what's infrastructure development is all about.

Thanks Lasg for proving to us that black race is not a parasite that fed on the violent

Just an honest question that needs an honest answer

Why can't these refineries be built in other states of the country?

Lagos is extremely congested already while other states literally have nothing
Nobody invests where lives and property aren’t secure or where profit is uncertain. That’s why the ongoing insecurity and political unrest in the North are worrying. We’ve seen this movie before with the Niger Delta—huge potential wasted due to unrest, then amnesty after the damage was done. I just hope the North doesn’t repeat the same costly mistake

Hardly a day passes that I don't thank God I'm not Igbo.

See level of thinking of a human being ooo
No wonder they believed that Buhari was a clone called Jubrin from Sudan


This was how many of you used hate, bitterness and envy to predict that the Dangote refinery will never work.
Why is it always you people out of the whole country will be fighting that something good will never work

Nice one. As long as they pay their taxes; since the government owned ones won’t work, let private investors take over then. Hopefully, price of crude oil products will reduce soonest
Lagos should also be considering the environmental impact and air pollution of situating many refineries in small lagos.

That is where the major issues lie. Just like PH with their black soot filled air. But their are more environmental friendly ways to process crude now though, no?
