ExudeLoveToAll:
A rhetorical question which I don't expect you to answer. I don't visit Visit Rivers State, Rivers State is in me. Now you know.

JustforMen:

Nonsense and idiotic beer palour argument.
Where is the sense in the trash you typed?
Which borders were opened for Dangote?
Can you provide some proof apart from the usual radio Biafra?
You don't understand what you are talking about but it is the Igbo talking point so you bandy it around.
Igbos stand out for their tribalism and superiority complex. So it is not hard to identify a disguising one.
The so called southern crude is currently being refined in the UK and other places around the globe. Are they also Fulani owned?
Is Dangote getting the so called southern crude free of charge?
Is the refinery going to refine only Nigerian crude?
For your information, he is either buying the crude from government or providing refining services... It is like any other service company.
But you have to see tribe in everything but hypocritically turn a blind eye when it seems to favor the Igbo.
Is innoson not enjoying import and tax incentives?
Are other manufacturers, mostly being Igbo, not enjoying the incentives of the government?
But you have been programmed to see things from your distorted lense of tribalism and ethnic superiority.
shut up and go ahead and sell the reminder of your father's land to strangers, Humperty Dumpertey that doesn't know his head is destined for the coconut

tollyboy5:
Epe people should not slack on this matter. You can't build refinery in our town and our graduate still remain jobless

JustforMen:


Simple proof... You are going in circles.
There has to be a better proof apart from the name Owerri!

Obsessed?? Mtchew

Alaigbopress:
Just imagine
A refinery that is domiciled in the South will have Engineers from North working on it. No Catchment Quota for even host community. This is the type of Nigeria some people are ready to die for.

Fasindo:




Nice one from Mr
Dangote.

He should also extend the same gesture to other schools, especially sourthen tertially institutions.

erico2k2:

How about Enugu state?

michlins:
there is crude oil deposit in Eha alumona in Nsukka. What I can't say is that if it's in commercial quantity

Rugaria:

Silly fat rat like you. Your type is hopelessly obsessed with the igbos to the extent you can die trying to antogonise them.. Somebody from Epe is moaning about the lack of job opportunities for the host communities while a Tinubu retard from irigbaji like you is busy defending the indefensible. Hopelessly parochial. The problem with your type of yoruba irritants is that you are to engrossed in your village hate to actually worry about what you gain from this whole scenerio. You are too fixated on what you deny the igbos that you have little or no time for yourself and that is a tragedy of immense proportion. Fooool.

Rugaria:


1) The federal government played a huge role in this project from the Jonathan era to this day. The CNB was ordered to funnel large amount of cash into this project as incentives since it was seen as a national asset that needs to be protected. To that extent, it's expected that a reasonable amount of national interest should be satisfied in such areas as job recruitment, product distribution and siting of secondary plants..

2) There is nothing like The South". What we have at independence was The West and The East. It's you and Tinubu that invented The South as a political terminology to hyjack all that should accrue to both the East and west just for South Western Nigeria.

3) The biggest oil deposits inland in the socalled South South comes from Igbo communities like Obigbo and co. Don't know whether you have been properly educated on this. So your "South South" outburst does not hold water here. It's the oil from the East. So it's only natural that the greater percentage of job opportunities should go to the owners of the resource. Otherwise, Dangote should use Lagos and Bauchi oil to run his "private" refinery.

DaveDGreat:


Cool. That's good to know. If you're truly from Rivers State? Then why make such statement that there's no place called Obigbo in Rivers?

That some part of land was carved from Old IMO State by Justice Mamman Nasir and placed in Rivers because of Melford Okilo's insecurities that "it is closer to Port Harcourt, the Capital City" didn't make it loose it's origin? That it was renamed to Oyigbo didn't make the indigenes stop seeing themselves as who they are.

What you're saying is like Yorubas saying that there's no place like "Eko" in Nigeria because what's in the constitution is "Lagos", a name the Portuguese gave the beautiful Island.

Lastly, I always ask people like you this question: What makes an Egbema man from Ohaji/Egbema LGA in IMO state an "Igbo Man" and an Egbema man from Ogba/Ndoni/Egbema LGA (ONELGA) LGA in Rivers State a "South South/Niger Delta Man"

Las Las, Ndigbo will survive all these.

Rugaria:
"Recruiting young engineers across the nation" you say? Is Bauchi and Kano " the nation" or is it "across the North"? You lay hundred of kilometers of pipes to load crude oil from the East to your CBN funded refinery in Lagos. You won't go to Bauchi to lay pipelines for crude, neither will you go to Kano... But when it comes to job opportunities in this sector, you first focus on those you consider as "your people"!

This is the kind of One Nigeria they desperately want. You have all the jobs at the Ministry of Petroleum. All the jobs at NNPC and PPMC. All the jobs in the Customs and Army and Police and all that.... Now this... What are Eastern youths from where this resources are being exploited supposed to do? Go to Malaysia and Cambodia to hussle. Abi? While you and your brothers from the desert inherit the earth?
It won't work like that na..

Phut:

IMO State is not South south. IMO State has a lot of oil in Oguta LGA which is being exploited by the FG. Abia has a lot of oil wells too and so does Anambra. Infact, Imo State has the greatest gas reserves in all of Africa.

ExudeLoveToAll:
All of these is just to push your Igbo narrative, I understand you vividly well. You have to call the place what RIVERS STATE calls it and that is final. I have observed that Igbos from neighbouring states have refused to call that LGA Oyibgo and not even the aborigines. Take it the way we want it to be called, we have no apologies for that. I really don't like back and forth on this forum, thanks for the time.

DaveDGreat:


[s]Lol. Don't need to proof anything to you Oga. The facts are there for even the blind to see.

Just don't allow what you see on nairaland affect your psyche.

Small thing, you don dey join FUTA as Igbo University. That's when and how I knew you were obsessed.[/s]

Were you dead when Dangote recruited the first set of engineers he sent abroad for training?
What is about FUTA and FUTO, because they are in Igbo land, abi?

Kubernetes:


We should stop measuring our wealth with what we have beneath.
Japan has nothing beneath,yet richer than Nigeria 100%.
knowledge and tech based economy is what matters now

Firstorderwizard:
One Nigeria indeed

SARSCoV2:


Did you read the article? If you did, you should know its an initiative in motion. But nevertheless, he is not mandated to recruit across the nation by any law. If he has chosen Bauchi and Kano, he personally knows why and owes nobody an explanations.

As a matter of fact, he fly in experts if he deems fit. He is a businessman and stop having sense of entitlement.

He is doing it first in Nigeria, so applaud him.

If all the self acclaimed billionaires in Anambra replicated this gesture, nobody from there will be jumping bus to the west on daily basis

ArewaNorth:
Dangote oil Refinery absorbs 3 consecutive set of ATBU Engineering Graduates

Dangote has directed the absorption of Electrical/Electronic, Mechanical, and Chemical Engineering Graduates from ATBU, Bauchi who graduated between 2019-2021.
Dangote who is the Chancellor of KUST Wudil, Kano has promised to do the same to the University since 2016 while Engineering Graduates from ABU and other universities have been benefitting from such recruitments. This is in line with his commitment to recruit Young Engineers across the the Nation into his multibillion dollar oil refinery.

Fasindo:




Nice one from Mr
Dangote.

He should also extend the same gesture to other schools, especially sourthen tertially institutions.

tollyboy5:

I can see you're a bigoted fellow.

You don't read to comprehend! Lagos has scholarship in place for its indigene to university Level, you think we're that stvpid because we're mostly quiet so you want to use your lack of intuition to peddle lies to the public.

lagosscholarship.org

Lagos is taking care of scholarship for decades. What Lagosians need is job.

For your hypocrisy. A family employed will go a longer way to save his generation. He'll be the bread winner and give other members of his family scholarship .

You say over 100 is little lol. What a shallow ignorant folk. Those lands and business taken to expand the road network for future commercial activities due to the refinery are what?

They don't count according to your shallow mentality.

Let me say this, it count to us if it don't count to you. We'll continue to tell our people dangote robbed us if we actualling get nothing in return.

Lol aboki needed to get employed but Lagosians only needs scholarship
