Coldie:

Seriously stop this hate this refinery has been in construction far before hope came in?

U people are acting very foolish, you are against an investment in Igbo land that will bring jobs to our people but u all run to other regions to beg for same job

NigerDeltaIgbos:


It is high time Igbos start calling some of these guys to order before they rubbish everything.
I don't understand why any reasonable Igbo person will be against such massive investments in Imo State.

Our graduates always leave for Lagos, Abuja and P.H once they're done with NYSC because of dearth of white collar jobs but now that we are getting investments that will help create white collar jobs and boost the local economy through increased IGR and creation of value added industries that will be built to utilize raw materials coming from the petrochemical plant, some people are here saying trash.

Imo State used to be among the least industrialized states in Nigeria yet it was among the biggest in terms of GDP due to other sectors, now that massive oil and gas investments are coming into the state, the GDP will receive a boost.

It doesn't matter where the investors came from, whether from China, Saudi Arabia, North or wherever, it wouldn't stop Imo State from getting its statutory 13% derivation. Waltersmith even went ahead to bring an Igbo man to be the face of the company and run it. If they had ulterior motives, they wouldn't do that because it's not mandatory to use a local as the CEO. Check all over Niger Delta and see how everything is bastardized, with outsiders doing any how they like.

NGpatriot:



Ignorant ipob, there's a difference between 2020, 2021 and 2022.

For now, it's just a mini refinery with capacity to process meader 5,000 B/D.

Think and act like a grown man.

Coldie:

How many factories HV Igbo rich men setup in imo apart from hotels and bars and u are expecting somebody from far away north to come and do it for u

Rugaria:

Helping you with your argeument; Apart from almajiri and Boko Haram, which other factories have the people you are fronting for set up in their arid north? So why the fixation on Eastern hydrocarbons?

LegendHero:


They are the owners of the company. So what do you expect?

Abdulrazaq Isa and Danjuma Saleh co-founded the company.

To be fair to them, their team and board of directors cut across the whole country and I really commend them for that.

No, its Anambara. I am a Geologist, and anyone who studied the Basins will tell you thesame. Thanks.

Coldie:

U are the one fixated on hydrocarbon.

Anything that will bring to the development of Igbo land and Nigeria at large is welcome to me regardless of the sector.

Good work at least Nnamdi Kanu will have something to run Biafra

northerners and oil!

upon say this refinery is in the east, they still almost dominate the management team.

i know if they dont take the lion share, federal government wont grant it license to operate.

Waltersmith Petroman Oil Limited, Nigeria’s independent producer, has reportedly disclosed its plan to increase the output of its 5,000 barrel a day capacity mini-refinery in Ohaji/Egbema, Imo State to 30,000 barrels a day by 2022. The refinery, which is 98% completed, is expected to be commissioned in September 2020.

This was disclosed by the Chief Executive Officer of the company, Chikezie Nwosu, on Wednesday, according to Bloomberg.

Josywhyte:
A refinery that will never work...

OfficialAwol:
Zombies must be having heart attack or even epilepsy sef.

They've been foaming in the mouth that we are doing attaché by force with SS because of oil but now there's a refinery in the heart of Igboland with capacity to refine 271 million liters of petroleum product per annum.

There's oil in Abia state.

There's oil in Anambra state.

Unconfirmed reports say there's oil in Nsukka. Maybe if the billions spent at Lake Chad basin looking for non-existent oil was spent in Nsukka, we would be drilling oil there too.

But it's worthy to educate zombies that Biafra, 'when' it comes, will not depend on oil as it's only commodity of foreign exchange.

Biafra will be a country of Technology, Services, Commerce and Manufacturing.

Wike and Ikwerre have said they are not Igbo. We should let them be.

Why does anything Igbo give yerobber mumuslims nightmares?
B/C you are afraid your hausa/Fulani slave masters will be raping you ppl 3 times daily and without lubrication too, when the gallant Igbos leave?

NGpatriot:



Northerners invested in the SE, they created jobs for SE people, they created IGR base for SE people, but they are still your evil enemies

Have you or any Easterner tried to set up a gold company in the North and was denied?

Are Easterner not all over the North conducting all manner of business activities, something they've bee doing all over the North before you were born.

There's got to be more to life that the usual hatred, bitterness, tribalism and bigotry that you people eternally overseas over everyday.

How do you even progress in life with this sad and horrible burden?

Damn..
U are very correct. I'm Igbo, and honestly anything business and productivity is apt to the Igbos. What a true Igbo man detest is inequity and oppression. That refinery will be there for Dunkey years if there is no serious pollution and no exclusion of local content. Good structured businesses will always succeed in the east. But other investors coming from outside may not succeed due to hash competitive environment in the east. If that refinary starts and is profitable b4 u know other Igbo oil mogul will come and set another refinary in that region

Exodora:

There is oil in my village in Imo but we won't disclose it now , this people are all thieves .
There is this river close to that place you need to see how it float on the river.
The sand they are drilling from some of the rivers we don't know where the money is going to , with this nobody dere say Fem about the oil.

The refinery, which is expected to primarily serve the South-Eastern part of the country, is expected to contribute about 271 million litres of refined products including Diesel, Naptha, HFO and Kerosene annually to the domestic market and create both direct and indirect jobs particularly within the host communities.
According to him, the crude processing plant is part of a bigger industrial energy park that will serve as a manufacturing base for oil and gas components.
“The project includes a 30-megawatt power station, which Waltersmith will expand to about 300 megawatts,” he added.
