How about the environmental pollution it will cause in Lagos , is lagos not too small and crowded for such a big refinery?

I read:
Oil refineries emit large amounts of air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. These pollutants can cause respiratory problems, including asthma, and increase the risk of heart disease and lung cancer etc i think lagos is too small and crowded for such a big refinery

We like am like that.Leave am there.

Taiwo20:
With the siting of the refinery in Lekki and the potential gas flaring and the already bad water in that area and traffic.

The Lekki hype go soon come down.

Bad weather in which area?

The traffic is due to the road construction being done from Ogun state down to Abraham Adesanya. (Where is being worked on now has almost gotten to Abijo), From Abijo down to Epe is smooth.

By the way, Dangote refinery is not even on that route, alot of you don't even know what Ibejulekki looks like.

Goodlady:

Dunno. But Lagos was chosen cos of nearness go sea

So rivers,akwa ibom,Delta and cross rivers na landlocked states?

Adjovi:
I just hope we won't start complaining of black soot like river's state people....

Black soot is from the illegal refineries all around ND.

They do not follow any safety measures nor do they use standard refining equipments for the crude.

You can't compare both.

Goodlady:

The profit ll over whelm the disadvantages.

Haaaa did you read what you typed at all. Someone is talking about the effect on our health you saying "profit".

Like to ask a question " if not Lagos where else in Nigeria. "?.

Dangote is a private business man, he is doing well creating jobs, he is the biggest job creator in Nigeria, he knows where is best for him to open his businesses. your billionaires should build businesses to create jobs. Stop talking nonsense, you want a business man to open refinery in a region of mad people like southeast?

Every business man will out their business in safe , progressing environment where they will make profits.

bukatyne:


The refinery is not in the heart of Lagos.

Infact, it is rumoured to be about a hr or two drive to Ondo State on Bike.

It is about 1hr 30mins drive from the express road to the refinery (note the drive is without any traffic).

Wrong.

It's on the free trade zone road.

I do. The person wey no get oil spillage effect still die of daily hunger. Now it's about what to eat.

Did you read my points? Those areas are militant infested.

iammo:


Environmental impact accessment was made by experts

Epe is 75km

Lekki is 44 km

Closest area

Oga air pollution in Rivers state travels as far as Imo State and Anambra State that is more than 75km

donproject2:


Ondo and Ogun rejected the refinery due to one policy or the other.

They rejected goodluck

lexy2014:


how does profit make up for the impact a refinery will have on the environment?

The profit ll be used to maintain the impact.

Flangelo12:


Go and remove it na.

Which kin response is this? Bro y u dey vex

Flangelo12:


It is a stupid thought.

If it were sited in Ondo state, won't people live there?

The refineries in Warri did not kill people.

when last did Warri refine crude oil?

when the port Harcourt refinery was built by shell d arcy in the 1950s the location was just like ibeju lekki to Lagos city of today. when university of ibadan was built in 1950s too the location was far out of ibadan city. but today they have all attracted economic developmerent to the locations of their situation.

Nigeria as a country was damaged industrially due the weight politics and political considerations carry in the siting of national economic development projects. the siting has been such that they automatically killed the industries and intended development. a serious case in point in the siting of ajaokuta steel, though at correct raw materials site but far removed from the markets for the disposal of finished products hence very heavy burden on roads that will transport both raw materials and finished products. till today ajaokuta steel is just a work in progress yet to deliver steel to market.

but today, to to Shagamu and ikorodu in ogun state you will see several Indian and Nigerian initiated iron and steel industries functioning and producing for the relevant markets.


Dangote needs money to produce more money and will have little or no considerations for skin colours or tribal locations to site economic development projects. further, the refinery will like to widen its products markets to include foreign countries, so tell me which tribal locations is better for him than his current choice.

Mrfeel:

But how about the environmental pollution it will cause in Lagos?

1. The vast Sea has this natural ability to detoxify the air pollution.
2. Demand for petroleum products is highest in Lagos compared to elsewhere in Nigeria.
3. Pipeline supplies of crude oil from the oil fields already exists in Lagos, hence easy access to the refinery.
4. Shipping of vessels of crude oil from other oil producing countries made easy because of the seaport, remember that Nigeria can not adequately meet the crude oil needs of the refinery.

thisisit:
LAGOS is the best place to locate refinery for the following reasons:

Niger Delta Environment is already polluted and degraded by crude exploitation activities.

LAGOSIANS are used to noise pollution, congestion, poor public and personal hygiene. Lagosians are used to shanty / ghetto lifestyle. They are used to harassment by TOUTS and thugs. They are used to a life devoid of human dignity and decency.

Therefore, mere carbon pollution from petrochemical will not be noticed.

Hahahahahaha

LAGOSIANS WILL COME FOR YOU

Mrfeel go and do your research well about the technology used for this refinery and not depend on "I read" which is similar to hearsay.
Exercise your common sense for a change, that is assuming you have one.

Goodlady:

I do. The person wey no get oil spillage effect still die of daily hunger. Now it's about what to eat.

okay. Na God go save Nigerians.
God go save you especially

1. https://dangote.com/q1-2022-dangote-cement-ramps-up-production-at-okpella-plant/

2. He said so himself yesterday, giving thanks to Tinubu for the initiative.

1. you claimed that Dangote is in Edo state because Edo state has an LFTZ structure similar to that of Lagos. when did Edo state government put LFTZ in okpella?

2. is it like Dangote had all the various locations from PH, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Ogun, Ondo and Lagos on the table and then out of all these he chose Lagos because of LFTZ?

3. if there was no LFTZ in lagos, are you saying Dangote wouldnt have sited the refinery in Lagos?

beerfraud:
IPob terrorists will blow it up if situated in south east

You are daft . Is there a sea in the East? Daft mofo .

Onitsha truly has a Serious Pollution Problem that both State and Federal Government need to address for the health of the people

But Asari put it the wrong way

seunmsg:


So, where is the best place if not Lagos?

He wanted to site the refinery in Ondo State, but was frustrated by the then government of the state


So Fashola invited Dangote to Lagos to site his refinery in the new created Lekki Free Trade Zone that was established by his predecessor in person of the president elect Tinubu

Goodlady:

The profit ll over whelm the disadvantages.

What are you saying that is sweeting you? Profit will overwhelm the disadvantages... Are you saying the profit s that will be made from that refinery will go into Nigeria's purse or treasury? Nigeria owns the refinery or Dangote?

Everybody is seriously considering the profits and the employment benefits accrueing from the refinery but nobody has considered environmental health hazard from such projects. You don't have built a giant fractional distillation column just in one place, it can be scaled down and spaced over wide areas in the delta to avoid suffocation in one place.
Fertilizer plant is also coming with it's own dangerous emissions.
If you really want to check the environmental impact and assessment of the refinery, keep a proper data of visits to ENT section of LUTH and other tertiary institutions in Lagos and Ogun. The numbers will be tripled in the coming years if you are in doubt ask Uniport teaching hospitals. The number of people suffering from respiratory illnesses will be increased especially those living in Lekki/Ibeju axis of Lagos.

Mrfeel:

Why not ondo ,ogun or akwa ibom?

Mimiko did not allow him, so Fashola invited him over to Lagos

No successful business is a democracy. 👌

It's an oligarchy; a tiny minority of people towards the top making the overwhelming majority of important decisions.

Every society is an oligarchy, in the sense that in every society power is pareto distributed.

A tiny majority of people weild the overwhelming majority of decision-making power.

In every society... power, status, and wealth are pareto distributed.

A minority of people are rich and powerful (High Status).

A majority of people are poor and powerless (Low Status)

In this sense, every society is an oligarchy in that a tiny minority of people weild all the real political power.
