Yeah I heard about that.Pathetic! You know one can argue that guy owns Nigeria.The country is on his palms and he can crush it whenever he likes.Some of the indigenous folks don't even want the project sited there probably due to environmental issues.I need to start employing the Onreflection method

This is Yorubaland and surrounding area of allied groups, the most urbanised country in Sub Saharan Africa. Notice that most of our big cities are inland in the tropical forest, with a few in the Savannah like Ilorin, Saki, Kishi, Fiditi Etc ...
The coastal area has just lagos, and the Ijebu Cities as only noticeable settlements of note. The Ilaje area does not even any major have motorable roads linking into it , in an area with massive potential. Why can't the Olokola FTZ be developed? This will bring settlement and development into the area and we would be spoilt with choices.
Western Oyo is also scanty with lots of free land. Why cant people like Adenuga and the rest of them build an industrial park there or something?

ShymmeXS:


It's unfair on those folks. At least, compensate them for their lands if anything.

You took their lands for FTZ and Lekki/Epe airport. Fair enough. Those two will benefit the axis immensely if completed.

But why go drag something that will likely pollute an area where folks are mostly riverine people, without adequate compensation/resettlement?

Also, why even bring the refinery to Lagos? Isn't the place already congested? These rogues think out of their arses and these are the clowns folks are touting as great leaders - hysterical. All they care about is what they'll steal and add to their family empires - not the people.

Aareonakakanfo:


Speaking of the deep seaport,I remember Jona saying he was going to complete the project before his tenure.Nothing tangible has been put in place to show commitment to the project.Mimiko had promised the people of Igbokoda that the government in his second tenure will construction the port yet there's nothing to show for it and he was the same person criticizing Agagu for not making the project work.smh

That's why sometimes you can't even blame folks who see Lagos as their Mecca.Who doesn't like attractive things

ShymmeXS:


Lest I forget, they're building a next seaport in Lekki/Epe. I don't even think that one is necessary as well. They should just allow Ondo do the sea port and refinery.

These folks are about to mess up the Lekki/Epe axis with all the locusts in the rest of Lagos. They'll soon turn that area into a massive ghetto as well. Those are the clowns/rogues leading Yorubas.

We need better leaders with foresight - not these folks.

Exactly.
The IDIOTS are looking for a short-cut to success and quick money. They don't want to site it in the Ondo axis, because they don't want to incur any extra costs in having to build linkage roads between The port/FTZ and areas of targeted consumption. Since the Ilaje/Ijebi watersiders dont have any big roads linking the rest of Nigeria. They care just about their own pockets.
They should hv been pressured to build it there or take it into the volatile Niger-Delta where A ship was still taken hostage this week with its captain killed and hostages taken. Then they wouldn't hv had a choice.

As for Folawiyo, his Oilfield off Lagos is about to start production, we are watching to see what he will do with the money.

ShymmeXS:


I think they lack foresight and their utter greed has made them obtuse thinkers. Even Epe looks like a forgotten village when I went there. And rather than designate the place strategically for certain types of project to keep it green, clean, and safer than the rest of Lagos. They're treating like a free space to throw anything they can't find space for in Lagos proper. That's how silly these folks are.

The state is just 3,475 km² for heaven's sake.That's like trying to force N200 Agege bread into your pocket

“The OKLNG Project Company was formed in 2007 by NNPC, BG, Chevron and Shell. BG and Shell withdrew from the project in June 2012 and July 2013 respectively. NNPC was duly informed of Chevron’s decision to withdraw and the divestment process is being managed in accordance with the provisions of the Shareholders’ Agreement governing the project.”

The LNG project
The Olokola LNG project was originally designed to consist of a marine berth for offloading LNG, along with four LNG trains each with a 5.5 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) capacity.

The first phase of the construction was designed to complete two of the trains, and the second expected to complete the other two — resulting in a 22 mtpa capacity.

The OKLNG project was initiated in 2005, with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, as the major shareholders, with 46.75 per cent stake, BG — 14.25 per cent, Chevron — 19.5 per cent and Shell — 19.5 per cent.
BG pulled out from the project in 2009, following which Chevron increased its stake to 22.74 per cent.

The Memorandum or Understanding, MoU and shareholders’ agreement for the company were signed by parties in 2005 and 2007 respectively, Final Investment Decision was billed for 2007, production and first shipment of LNG from OKLNG was scheduled to commence in 2009, while phase 2 of the project was scheduled to conclude in 2010.

A source at OKLNG said the project, which is the most cost-effective LNG project in Nigeria, if allowed to come on stream, would have served as a major contributor to Nigeria’s economy development.

According to the source, a number of projects already undertaken at the site, risk being abandoned, such as the pioneer camp among others.

The source said, “The project was going ahead of schedule, all of a sudden, funding ceased.”

The source noted that the plan of the project was for gas producers/owners to send natural gas to the facility where it would be converted to LNG for a fee and pumped into owner ships for sale. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/08/10000-jobs-at-risk-as-chevron-shell-pull-out-from-oklng/

These guys don't think maaaan.They keep siting everything in Lagos.There's already Apapa wharf,Tin can port.You and I know the character behind all these but people keep defending him

ShymmeXS:


Fashola and Tinubu - two idiotic clowns blinded by greed.

After what they did to the people with that refinery crap and military - I ain't got love for the both of them. They're useless.

Hopefully, they'll compensate the people before they start building that crap there.

I don't even want to say much especially the one whose name starts from "T"

scholes0:


Greedy greedy leaders who don't have Yoruba interests at heart.
Because if they did, they would hv known that a port and Refinery in Ondo state is a huge Geo-Political checkmate for any unforeseen future challenges. Lagos has Apapa and Tin-Can ports. Why site the Badagry port there again in the same state?

Can you imagine what kind of revenues, progress and development would have accrued to people of Ondo state if this kind of project was allowed to take off, in the coastal part of the state?? Ahhhhh...... Lord, give us men with vision and character!!

ShymmeXS:


Lol.

Birds of a feather to me.

Honestly, I don't like the Fashola guy as well. He lacks the qualities I admire in leaders. I just flow with whatever people say.

Lmao Fashola seems like an intelligent man to me.He has his flaws as well but the other character is just messed up.He needs help.

The first thing his medicine man needs to cure him of is GREED

Book readers always sound intelligent. But are they problem solvers and do they have foresight?

He actually tried a lot.I'm a witness.His discipline was also crucial as well.He made some bold moves during his tenure and that was why he later had some dispute with his boss He had a blue print,his boss had none

ShymmeXS:
Ondo has oil - so siting both the refinery and sea port there would help the state develop.

Then that will also open up Lekki/Epe to Ogun waterside all the way to Ondo's coast.

But these clown are just too darn stupid - all they care about is greed and airbrushing everywhere/everything.

They lack foresight.

He tried a lot in window-dressing/airbrushing tons of things with layers on layers, and massive media campaign - thus making a lot of money via inflated projects. Obviously, that will win folks who don't know any better over.
However, in terms of leadership and what a leader ought to do - he was found wanting. He wasn't people oriented. Never decisive and firm with his decisions and he exemplified that with the way he apologised to Igbos after cows changed hands cos of the deportation-gate. Thus elevating their status cos he never apologised to folks from other ethnic groups who were deported prior to that. And he never effected the policies Lagos need. Then he lacked foresight (as the governor of Lagos).
Anyway, I'm not a fan of the guy. And naturally, I don't like leaders that exhibit too much capitalist tendencies.

laudate:

It is not just the state that would develop, but adjacent South-western states would benefit, too! Ondo is right at the border with Ekiti and Edo, while Ogun state lies next door. Ogun is a stone throw from Lagos. Can you imagine the potential spin-off of businesses, jobs, income etc., that would come on stream, if that kind of project starts operation?
What are the representatives and senators from that axis doing? Why aren't they screaming for help and raising dust, so that the Federal Government can take a second look at this project??
Why isn't the Ondo State Ministry of Trade working with NNPC to create awareness about this issue and resolve it?? Who are the board members of the OK LNG facility??
Do you remember what happened to Brass LNG when ConocoPhilips pulled out?? Jackson Gaius-Obaseki the Chairman went round the world scouting for investors to buy up Conoco's equity so that the project could continue. Oando eventually raised funds through a consortium of banks, and bought over those shares. The Brass LNG is now back on track!
