Dangote’s Refinery & Cancer Risks To Communities (733 Views)

Is he building hospitals in the area or giving certain amounts to the community for healthcare, I was against this years ago and I still do. Obasanjo seized the land in Ibeju Lekki for him and had soldiers kill the Baale and several others when they resisted. First of, all I hope people know that Dantata and Gotes are Indians, I’m not sure if Dangote was born in Nigeria, but I know that his family are Indians. In Yorubaland but you can see that Yoruba are not really working there, his adopted tribe are the ones working there. When we say Yorubaland is an occupied territory, see for yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIiDBmMixOY?si=EbWFzj02pAvZoYxV

Truth have to be told and you will learn to face it because it’s the only thing that stays the same. Indians and Europeans are the same, they are both greedy and have taken advantage of Nigeria for a longtime. Btw, I would love to get paid if you can tell me where they pay on Dangote’s head, after he’s a billionaire who has used Nigeria to enrich himself. Nigeria’s money floats Dangote. REDshouse: |

First, let me assure you that your assertions are unfounded. I research cancer for a living. I manage cancer from Prediagnosis to Diagnosis, management and to Remission. The claim that the Dangote Refinery poses a cancer risk to neighboring communities, based on a study of an urban refinery in Texas, can be challenged on several grounds: Urban vs. Industrial Setting The Texas study focused on a refinery in an urban area, where cancer risks are naturally elevated due to factors like traffic pollution, smoking, and lifestyle choices. In contrast, the Dangote Refinery is located in an industrial zone, far from densely populated residential areas, reducing direct exposure risks. Limitations of Population-Based Studies The cited research is population-based, which emphasizes statistical correlations rather than establishing a direct cause-and-effect relationship. Without identifying specific biological mechanisms or isolating refinery emissions as the main factor, the findings remain inconclusive and insufficient to predict similar risks for the Dangote Refinery. Advanced Technology in Modern Refineries The Dangote Refinery employs state-of-the-art technology, including advanced emission controls and waste management systems, designed to minimize harmful pollutants. These systems adhere to international environmental standards, reducing the likelihood of adverse health impacts on nearby communities. Strict Regulatory Compliance The refinery operates under Nigeria’s regulatory frameworks, enforced by agencies like NESREA and the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR). Regular monitoring ensures that emissions remain within safe limits, unlike older refineries that might lack such oversight. Influence of Lifestyle and Genetics on Cancer Cancer rates are influenced by multiple factors, including genetics, diet, smoking, and alcohol consumption. The Texas study may not have adequately controlled for these variables, which are independent of refinery operations and prevalent in urban areas. Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) Before construction, the Dangote Refinery underwent rigorous Environmental Impact Assessments to evaluate potential risks, including air quality modeling and pollutant dispersion analysis. These assessments ensure that operations remain safe for neighboring communities. Proactive Community Health Measures The Dangote Refinery prioritizes community health through planned initiatives like air quality monitoring, public health education, and regular health screenings, further mitigating potential risks. Misinterpretation of Correlation vs. Causation The Texas study identifies an association between cancer rates and refinery proximity but does not prove causation. Numerous confounding factors, including urban pollution and industrial clustering, could explain the findings, making direct comparisons with the Dangote Refinery inappropriate. Strategic Location and Buffer Zones The refinery’s location in a controlled industrial zone, with buffer zones separating it from residential areas, significantly limits community exposure to emissions, unlike urban refineries. Broader Benefits of the Refinery The Dangote Refinery provides substantial economic and social benefits, including job creation, energy independence, and reduced fuel importation. These benefits, coupled with strict environmental controls, outweigh speculative health risks. In conclusion, using a Texas-based study to predict cancer risks for the Dangote Refinery is flawed due to differences in setting, technology, and regulatory environments. Claims of risk must be based on localized, scientifically robust evidence rather than generalized assumptions. 2 Likes |

Truthcat:lol, don't forget he bought the land for 100m dollars from Lagos state Government. No one seized any land for him. It is the duty of Government to build hospital except he decided to build just as he's currently building road from ibeju to ajah. 1 Like |
Truthcat: 5:21am On Jan 24 |
That’s a lie! He didn’t buy any land. The land was seized by Obasanjo, and when the people resisted, soldiers were sent there, they killed the Baale and others. That is the story of that land. Saao: |

Saao: Oga from T Junction epe to Abraham Adesanya road is been done by Lagos state government and not Dangote, the only road he is doing there is from the refinery to Eleko Junction. This is where I live stop misleading the public. And I never argued with you if he paid for the land or not |
Saao(m): 9:39am On Jan 24 |
Kaycee9242:oga you just confirmed that he's building portion so that is enough for you to be remorseful. Have a nice day |

Ondo, Itsekiri and others are Yoruba region in Niger delta, so they are working in Yoruba oil company. Now whay has that got to do with Dangote who is indian fulani that brought his own people to work in his company on another man's land with no restrictions on the indegenes hired and percentage of the profit that needs to be reinvested in the economy of Lagos as it's done all over the world? ruggedtimi: |

He didn't pay anything, and that's the reason he didn't mention the name of the governor he paid. Beautifulday: |

Is this the new angle yorubas want to use to fight the refinery so their sons can keep importing ethanol laden Petro?
