Aareonakakanfo: 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. 2 Likes |

scholes0: Speaking of the deep seaport,I remember Jona saying he was going to complete the project before end of 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 kickstart the construction of 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 |

ShymmeXS: 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/Ijebu 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. |
Re: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by Nobody: 12:19am On Nov 30, 2015 |
Aareonakakanfo: 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. |

ShymmeXS: 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? ![]() |

scholes0: 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. |

Aareonakakanfo: But when you keep attracting locusts to a place to snarl it up, while making it unbearable/uncomfortable for the indigenous folks - it's problematic. That's why some uncultured loudmouthed oafs can go around and call Lagos "no man's land". These idiots just want to kill Lagos with their utter greed. |

scholes0: Money goes where it is valued, and where it will prosper. Money has wings. What are the citizens of Ondo State themselves, doing to attract investment into the state?? Since Shell and Chevron pulled out of the project in 2013 citing lack of progress on the project, eight years after its inception as well as non-commitment on the part of the Federal Government to pursue the completion of the project and also the non-passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill, PIB, new investors have not been found to take up equity in the project. So its progress has been stalled. “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.” Till now, the Final investment Decision (FID) which should have been taken in 2007 has not been done. this is part of what led Shell & chevron to throw in the towel, 2 years ago. 1 Like |

scholes0: There are too many things sited in Lagos - the place needs to breathe. Why keep building layers on layers, thus denying the place an identity? And with every layer they build, while denying other places growth, they attract more locusts to the place. That's catch 22. Lagos needs green and the coastal town ought to be preserved for that. 1 Like |

laudate: 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.

Talking about coastal development in the SW of Nigeria, to say the governors are bereft of smart ideas at this stage is like giving them a compliment cos they really are not smart as much as they want us to believe, you don’t have to have the whole capital funds to be able carry out projects of this magnitude but a master plan most be in place for developing x area of a state or economy and am sure if they do their home work very well they will get a global investment body to buy into their vision. I know agriculture is very important in getting money in but i feel the the way it’s often being trumpeted it can’t be the be the be all and end off regarding revenue generation imo. I know electricity still a big challenge but mass manufacturing stands a better chance of absorbing our great army of un employed youths than agriculture, cos agriculture has realy gone mechanical in many ways, so not much assimilation can be guaranteed out there. If there is anything the transport minister should bequeath to the south west during is tenure is a fast speed rail transportation btw lagos and ogun/oyo state, a direct train line between this states will be more than sensible and the idea of this train line snaking thru every town and villages should be jettisoned, just a direct train like from say lagos to ibadan simply, that will so open up this places big time and of cos cargo coaches attached to carry goods. ShymmeXS: laudate: I certainly agree with you . . .Lagos has indeed swallowed up so much investment other states should ideally benefit from, a place like Ondo can do with massive investment like Dangote's refinery but i think some of the underlining factors why Lagos might would have cornered this investment is political. The guys in the helm of affairs would have gone to town to blow their horns to have made it happen of cos with a political bigotry as well with Mimiko an PDP guy, but having said that siting that refinery their would have being an huge relief for people within that axis to ease pressure unemployment big time and go on to develop that industry to great height perhaps. Siting in Lagos comes with all her attendant disadvantage, yet to see many advantage thereof if u sincerely ask me, that State so congested and nearly busting in her seams . . . . . . 1 Like |

Aareonakakanfo: 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. |
