 Campaign Against Dangote's Refinery Intensifies

An International NGO, Dialogue Earth (formerly known as China Dialogue Trust) has secretly expressed and sponsored their displeasure in the ongoing Dangote Refinery project by sponsoring David Hundeyin to exclusively write about the Refinery and its” environmental policy” alongside its "Environmental Concerns".


The London-based NGO headed by an Oxford professor, Sam Geall is funded by several American intelligence fronts such as Ford Foundation and Climate Works.

Mr. Hundeyin, a Nigerian investigative journalist took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to write about the NGOs intentions on Saturday, August 10th 2024. In his tweet, he expressed how difficult it was for him to come out with this news and all its details. David also mentioned that it was important for individuals to take their destinies seriously, irrespective of whatever level and class.


Mr. Hundeyin further revealed that He was contacted and offered the sum of N800,000 to write an article on Dangote's Refinery, emphasizing how its activities would have an adverse effect on the environment.


Mr. Hundeyin also mentioned that although it was unstated, the intentions of Dialogue Earth on wanting a prominent local voice to champion this campaign was quite clear. Mr. Hundeyin mentioned that the aim of this campaign was to propel and compel the Nigerian Government to kill the Refinery based on its "energy transition commitments" and "environmental policy." Although He seemed uncertain of their needs rather than assuming, Mr. David mentioned that he waited for their brief so he could have it as hard evidence which he attached to his tweet that Saturday.


Mr. Hundeyin was careful to state that the Dialogue Earth NGO was blacklisted in India for funding organizations to work against India's national interest.


The Investigative Journalist focused on their aim to sponsor an internal resistance campaign against what he described as "Nigeria's First Refinery". He also stated that the NGO seemed unbothered about the largest oil producers in West Africa not having a functional Refinery.


The Journalist mentioned that he brought all this to light because of what he claimed to be white men hiding behind climate advocacy NGOs. He also called out the said sponsors to go in search of other Africans for the job.

"at least go find a much stupider African to do your dirty job - there's plenty of those".


Mr. Hundeyin also emphasized that he wasn't a fan of Billionaire Businessman, Aliko Dangote or his monopolistic business practices.
