Sure they should protest. Is Niger - Delta region only to be milked off oil with no related industry situated there?

Its unjust really. How many industry apart from rigs to suck off oil have been situated in this regions Yet its the region producing the bulk of Nigerian wealth.

Bunch of ingrates, what ids wrong with these Niger Deltans especially these creek dudes in Bayelsa, Patani Delta South...for heaven sake one stupid Ijaw man that was our former president did not even do anything meanigful to his people, he wanted to build ship yard or port at Delta but Urhobo, Ijaw and Iteshekiri were dragging who owns the land#



why are these Niger Deltans too petty with ogogoro mentality....is it proximity to water is making them reason like fishes


aplogogy to anioma, efik,Anan and oron the rest Niger delta from itshekiri to ijaw then nembe are just clueless and stupid


with all the trillions dumped there what do they have to show for it


I think they should do the lagoon thing for us ...directed by Oba Akiolu

Sharraappp!

The faster they close down NLNG, the better for Biafra

It is criminal pillage of biafran resources to site a ship yard in badagry and come to shout one nigeria

After building it in badagry, they should use the ship to carry coconut water

Hahahahahahahah kkkkkkkkkk in fact u will not kill somebody

The SS youth are doing one thing, in every situation why do they restore to threat, if any thing happen, the next thing you heard from them is to shut down oil facilities,

am sure NLNG will have done their visibility study very well and assess it as well, with the threat from Tompolo, Asari and the likes, if they build and you guys shut down the facility and hinder them from operating,
someone is running at loss,

hence the need to build and operate in a safer environment, yet you guys still go there to threating them again.



you guys should think twice before doing all this things, it not helping this nation at all.



and aside that, on a neutral level, you don't expect a profit making company to put all their egg in one basket,

all their operating companies cant be in one location, God forbid bad thing,
what if something happen tomorrow, that is all the operating company that make up NLNG will go down in one day.

hence the need to spread

sentaljohn:
we need a permanent solution to this triibal issues... and am not suggestion separation.. infact, am against it, we are strong as one.. God help us

How can we solve the tribal roars permanently, if not to separate? This tribal thing is embedded right inside our heads and can't be cured , except you are suggesting total brain wipe. We are all hausa , igbo, yoruba before we are Nigeria, and that is the problem.

NLNG will be stupid and irresponsible if they carry out the relocation.

DaGC:
Its funny though that many of the oil agencies are headquartered outside the Niger Delta. We even have a refinery in Kaduna. If the NLNG has been a private ish, I won't complain. But a government agency taking its shipyard away from its base of operations is weird to me.

It looks wired but in all sincerity it is not.

The company is being wise in terms of its security. Instead of the ijaw youth to negotiate on how to join hands with the government security forces to provide security for the companies, they are threatening.

So after threatening them you expect them to still go ahead and stay.

I don't know why these people are just not wise at all.

IzonOwei:
when the oil dries up the rest of nigeria would have to reciprocate the love once showed by the niger deltan by letting us share with them in the proceeds of their mineral/other resources...

so after this long while of bleeding the niger delta dry you think we wont come around to enjoy with the other regions?

Lol you're in a long thing. I see sugar and rainbows in your post. Dude you better wake up and smell the coffee.

Those are political talks. The project should move rightly to where it ought to be. Enough of all these....

agabusta:
To many illiterates on this forum. NLNG has consistently informed the public that the project is not theirs but that of the private sector but dem no go hear.

Samsung and Hyundai heavy industries are the main proponents of the project.

AZeD1:

The reason is very simple, they are tired of the threats.
The Niger delta as a region is not investment friendly same as the north east of Nigeria.

the Niger delta is not investment friendly? ...why don't they move their gas plant to Lagos too.

onenaira3:

...the whole nigeria cant enjoy the oil now and refuse to share its resources with the niger delta in the event that the oil dries up in the future...we go fight die be that...

Lagos did not take it, it was brought to Lagos. This is what you get when you create an enabling environment for growth and development. Take it or leave it, Lagos is the most investor-friendly state in Nigeria. Why do you think Dangote chose to build his refinery in Lagos and not the Niger Delta? Did you bother to find out why the project was not moved to any Southeastern state? Keep hating, Lagos will keep growing. Eko oni baje!

....and Lagos as a former federal capital was built with money from OIL.

Symphony007:

...abeg help me ask the guy... ..it is alright for niger deltans to inhale and ingest pollutions from oil and gas but offices and other construction jobs be located in LAGOS...

Oh u think anything thats as to do with Niger delta the Yoruba must have hand in it why will u ppl continue criticise and antagonisize against the Oduas,why dont u take ur time to find out the roots why they are shifting it to Rivers before concluding.moreover since it has been in rivers of what benefits as it contribute to their communitues,u bragging here have u heard of any development so far it has been there.they still have nothing to show for it.No matter what Oduas is blessed abundantly with countless resources.take it or leave it Lagos is still the heart of Nigeria....
Hmmm I knew a Yoruba must have a hand in this new development. They have since been trying to bring NLNG back ever since they moved their headquarters from Lagos back to rivers. Hmm.

I hope the youths in that meeting think twice in what they are doing. NLNG have been one of the good guys. They understand the plight of SS individuals therefore, I'm sure if they went and spoke to am in a calm voice rather that threaten like they doing now NLNG will very likely listen to them. Right now, their threats would present the opposite result. [/quote]

I never expected this to come from you. Well at least you apologized to my ppl so I'm going to let it go but still I'm shocked

Kingspin:
That is Lagos for you always taken whatever that should not belong to them and tomorrow they will claim state with highest IGR and employement. In the same vain that Kano and Kaduna warehousing imported goods when the real businessman/importers are men from the South check the distance/routes and our map. Reaping where you did not sow Nigeria biggest problem economical. Infact, if those plunder tribes can they would have naturely relocated all oil wells to Lagos and Kaduna. This is unhealthy capital flight to our national development. And which year will the thieves and the owners be at peace?

Badagry is an excellent area to build this as it is closer to the Apapa port where major shipment are carried out and it it also a peaceful area unlike the south south region that is prone to unrest and violence. The Federal Government is just trying to reduce the extent of blackmail by the Niger-Delta militants. The lesser the facilities they have the lesser things to blow up.

The Blood of Jesus.

This is very bad news o. Abeg these youths should calm down.

Chiaka:

Where does it rightly belong?? The most active port in Nigeria are the Lagos ports.

Any sensible business person who wants to build a yard where ships will be serviced and repaired will automatically consider Lagos before any other place. It is a strategic business decision and not mundane ethnic sentimentalism.

Investors consider many things before siting their projects in an area of choice. The govt can only advise them to consider relocating it. They can't force them. And if they do, it will affect foreign investor inflows into the country.

We do know the roots. Sorry but your bros have since been trying to push NLNG company back to Lagos. Even when they first suggested to move from Lagos to rivers, it was obasanjo that deliberately frustrated then in order to force them to stay.
You say what benefits will it contribute to river state? Are you serious? It brought jobs therefore decrease in unemployment and poverty as well as increase in income to the state. It's the same reason your bro wants to move their investment back to Lagos.

If Lagos is the heart of Nigeria, okay, why are you trying to take the little others have?

Is Lagos the only city Nigerians lives? Why not take it to Akwa Ibom too. Dangote refinary i guess is in Ondo state. I mean Lagos have everything but the experts that drill the oil reside in the Niger Delta states, so whats wrong in having the shipyard where the real raw materials/resource can be effectively supervisor and management to save cost too. We all known little about industrialization of industries. Lagos and co plotters cannot sit all the time on other cities and expect Nigeria to be peaceful.

Niger Delta. Rather than form alliances, lobby and negotiate till they get a foothold in the scheme of things, they rather threaten and give ultimatums.

Brain power truly is king.

Books on self development, Chess and game of thrones won't make any meaning to these peeps............. but wrestling will.

Lagos was not built in a day. the state is already to congested other regions should be encouraged to develop as well.......

I am in strict support, this is arrant non-sense. This are the kind of fights the Niger delta people should be fighting. Thumbs up

You are right. But the decision is still that of the investors to make. They are the ones putting their money on the line, about 1.5billion dollars.

And they would have done an extensive risk assessment before making their decision on a location.

With such a magnitude of investment, the govt cannot by fiat dictate a location where they MUST site their project. It will be counter productive.

Govt can only advise.

Niger delta is called minority, yet their resources is MAJORITY. When they refused to align with d biafrans...the result is dat d re now breastfeedin the entire country.

I pity dem.

The same thing with Bonny Island and Ooni seaport. They both over qualify because that is where the NLNG working environment and 80% gas deposit production dwells and such will save cost and logistics general. It only in Nigeria some experts have no sense. I dnt have access to oil but the right things must be done peacfully.
