@ladyF, I didn't know that a Nigerian women could be this very tricky in ethnic politics. Which Feasibility Study Who made the visibility study

{A dry dock (sometimes dry-dock or drydock) is a narrow basin or vessel that can be flooded to allow a load to be floated in, then drained to allow that load to come to rest on a dry platform. Dry docks are used for the construction, maintenance, and repair of ships, boats, and other water craft.}

Which Environmental Impact Assessment ?
There are more than 100 kilometer sea-land border in the Nigerdelta areas where that Dry Dock can be built.

Pollution from Crude Oil exploration and a harmless Dry Dock in the Nigerdelta area, which one has more adverse environmental impact on the Nigerdelta

You come to the Nigerdelta to exploit crude oil, and pollute the environment - often beyond recovery - but you can't build a dry dock that promotes business and employment in the Nigerdelta.

The worst adverse environmental impact from a dry dock includes sound from trains, heavy trucks - and loud laughter from happy workers.

Some people are too subjective and are more of a tribalist and these have affected their way of reasoning correctly; The South west media reports majorly the wrongs that happen in the South west so that it can be corrected, while other regions don't do such as they rather try to remove the dust in South west eye rather than removing the log of wood in their own eyes. The main reason why the South west is developing is 1. The foundation put in place by its leaders. 2. That is the most accommodating region in Nigeria, 3. They are slow to anger( they don't start destroying other tribes properties after every disagreement) 4. They have the best gate way to the sea. 5.Education etc. I can keep going on & on but due to time, I will say that it is very difficult for someone to really make great success if you keep holding to the past as such a person will keep getting into trouble one way or the other. Your past should be a motivation to a great future; it shouldn't stand as a barrier.

There are other things to consider from a business perspective, the company made the decision they feel is best for them in the long run.

CSTR2:

omonile, opc and the rest of the yoruba toutish gang are niger-deltans?
I don't blame you anyway.

CSTR2:
This is no evidence and is part of the noisy rhetoric.
Get me evidence based on fact.
I am sure there is no doubt that rivers and imo are oil producing as there are physical oil extracting structures on ground.

I made this post on a different thread and i will say it again:

I like the protocol that the Niger delta activists have adopted beginning their agitation with an IMPASSIONED REASONABLE NON-THREATENING FACTUAL AND INTELLECTUAL manner.

The world needs to see that this is our first recourse in pursuing this matter .
The south west with its now arrogant control of most of the news outlets and multi media platforms would have loved the struggle to begin right out of the gate with violence then they would spin the story to all the world to support their long running narrative that multinational investments of any kind is only logical safe and guaranteed in the south west.

I can almost guarantee now that the next card they will play is to spin up disagreements between the different subgroups within the Niger Delta as to who gets what then spinning the story that internal struggles within various groups within the NG makes the entire location nonviable for investments.

Any South South or South East person who does not see the entrenched INSTITUTIONAL DUPLICITY of the south west by now is much more of a bigger fool than our parents were and you know i wouldn't call the old folks fools so much as i would call them extremely naive which coming right after the civil war might seem understandable.

I will spell it out in RED so there is no mistake about my meaning:
[size=15pt] THE SOUTHWEST IS DOING AND HAS BEEN DOING FOR DECADES WHAT THE NORTH HAS BEEN/AND IS DOING IN POLITICS:APPROPRIATE TO THEMSELVES EVERY OR ALMOST EVERY PLAN/OPPORTUNITY FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND INVESTMENT WHERE ITS POSSIBLE.[/size]

They (south west) have learned to use the media as a tool/weapon effectively so watch as they will seek to discredit the arguments presented by the agitators and where they cant logically defeat the case made by the agitators (a most likely scenario), they will do two things:

[1]Kill and bury any and every story of the issues raised and seek to bar it from the realm of National discourse and where that approach fails

[2]The media sections controlled by the southwest will massively turn their attention to the South South and to a lesser extent , the South East :every gunshot , every death , every confrontation between the security agencies and whoever , will be reported in great detail a pipeline will not burst without it being in the news circle for at least a week.Strategically and psychologically, the image they will try to evoke is of a region in chaos or precariously close to it.Not the place any right thinking business big or small local or international would want to invest in, regardless of the resource base or the advantages it has.

Mention companies that are being disturbed by OPC and omonile in Lagos. In fact, omoniles welcome businesses in their communities because they benefit from them.

islandmoon:



Mtcheewww!!

CSTR2:
They didn't consider the fact that niger-deltans will protest given the fact that it would be hugely dependent on the niger-delta to work.
There is no long run here if the niger-delta disagrees.

handie:
I shake my head. This is what unemployment has caused. From feasibility studies, it's apparent a dry dock in Lagos Nigeria's main port and where all the major vessels berth and load is the logical place for such an investment. Should the investors jettison profitability because a bunch of unemployed youths want it sited in their region so as to collect money for what they term "our land".... Abeg make dem shift jor. Next topic pls

Duru1:
The so-called Niger Delta and resident activists are phony set of trolls that still live in yesteryears. I cannot have a pity for these goons.

CSTR2:
There is no oil in lagos and ogun.
We have been hearing the same story for the past ten years with no evidence.
The ijaw oil-bearing lands in the so-called ondo state is also facing the same community problems.

CSTR2:
Why you dey vex ?
Show me pictures of verified oil fields in lagos state .

kponkanaG3:
When will this country know or realise that siteing developmental projects only on a particular region its one reason why the SE will always say we are not one. If Nigeria most be one, our leaders and decision makers should learn to spread developmental projects to all the nine geopolitical zone's imagin the number of unemployed youths this project would have or will take off the street's of SS&SE if its been or will be sited in the SS area of Nigeria.

grandstar:


A foremost economist said that the only CSR that a company owes is to make profit. Whether we like it or not, that's the truth.

You need to create the right environment to enable them achieve that goal.

The Niger Delta and its militancy with youths always demanding for cash chases away such investors.

Also the dry dock will become a hub not only for Nigeria but probably for West and Central Africa. Lagos may therefore be the best location and again, its less prone to pirates

Your country is afflicted with tribalism. Don't be an ostrich.
