considering the Monopoly he enjoys in Nigeria. 2. rich people in the state are into technology. they don't sell cement and help government officials to siphon loot

never!!

black people dont own things only play sport

Dangote's vehicles are responsible for a not even up to 10% of fatal accidents on our roads,
This is not a Dangote problem, is a Nigerian problem.
Truth be told, so many drivers plying our roads will be banned from touching the steering of any vehicle in America.

Many Nigerian drivers are on drugs, drink and drive and drive carelessly majority of the time.
Nigeria is not a nation of consequences, as long as our people know that the can get away with killing people on our highways by paying a few thousands to the family of the deceased, get away with drinking and driving by bribing Road safety or Police, etc, this acts will keep on happening

another nairaland mugu spotted. Nigeria and USA who drug pass

Dangote wouldn't be 1/10th as rich as he is in America because commodity-trading oligarchs are more common in countries like Nigeria and Russia than well-regulated Western economies where it isn't as easy to get rich of cartel monopolies and tax waivers and forex waivers and import waivers. Has nothing to do with the accidents his trucks cause.

Sigh. Why can't the stupid ones just keep their mouths shut?

Only a simple check on google would have shown you that over the past 15 years there have been hundreds, perhaps even thousands of casualties from accidents involving Dangote trucks.

The quantum for measuring compensation when it comes to cases of death is usually calculated on the basis of what the deceased would have earned if he or she had lived to an old age.

That means for each dead person, the amount of money awarded by courts will run into millions of naira.

Compensation given out for loss of life is always at least 10 times what a court would award for loss of property or loss of income. So if we are talking loss of hundreds or even thousands of lives, then the amount of compensation will run into billions.

Next time use your brain. It was actually put inside your head for a reason.

Xisnin:


You would have cured yourself of ignorant if you compiled the list of
victims of Dangote trucks and divide them by "billions of dollars".
You probably think money grows on trees and have no idea how companies operate.

Will majority of drivers in Nigeria go to America and drive the way they do?
It's obvious many people's licences would have been suspended and the menaces taken off the road.
In Nigeria, people don't do driving tests before they start driving.
Licences are collected after money has exchanged hands, which wouldn't happen in America.
American roads are better with fewer potholes compared to Nigerian roads and accidents will be less.
In America, Dangote would be employing people who we are all sure are fit to drive after passing their driving tests.
His cars would have fewer accidents. If anything at all, it is the car companies that would suffer it, provided there's no human error on the part of his drivers.
He is also just caught in the Nigerian system where any joker can bring a licence and say he is allowed to drive..

Yes.... all those truck having accident are wasting his money
If he is in Ameria he would have been the riches man on planet earth in our time because there is good road for haulege and no rushy rushy like nigerian

He won't even dream of using those chinco [china] truck. Very useless trucks.

Most people up there are sane and won't cross the road where there is pedestrian bridge, they won't also sell by the road side to get hit by truck.

Excaperx:
No.why? He's black and will probably be into the rapping industry.

What if he was white? Still no, the law don't support frauds and con men like dangote

Who is Donald Trump? A simple half educated con man who became president. If Trump can do it, Dangote too can become anything in the USA

If dangote was from any of this world giant he wouldn't be wealthy as this reason been that he enjoys so much monopoly in nigeria especially.

No way, he would only be as rich as he was pre 1999

Xisnin:


Thousands of people are killed in the US by company truck every year.
Nobody protested or boycott the brand involved because they know that accident is a fact of life.
The victims family just seek compensation for the accident.

How many thousands abeg you?and does it keep repeating with the same company? Please post a link with same company whose truck keeps killing those thousands every year. You can tell that story to those who have never crossed Niger bridge that there are companies whose trucks keep killing people on a regular basis in the USA. Law suit alone would have shut them down by now. USA that is lawsuit hungry. Lawyers sef dey advertise for people wey wound for work to contact them etc. Even person fall for wet ground for your company alone na wahala if he decides to take it further talk less of killing people year in year out.

Rubiish question. Will Bill Gates be this rich if he was in Nigeria? Ndi ara. Time and chance happens to them all.

With a dollar almost 400 times it's naira equivalent, Dangote still struggles to be among the world's richest. Imagine how much richer he wouldbe on a level playing field.

I don't understand what you wrote...as in are they people here who think Nigeria is a problem to Dangote?
Like half the big names in our entertainment industry, is there any of them who would have been bigger had he not been in Nigeria?
Abegi o! A shitty place is heaven for pigs

He can't even be that rich in benin rebublic talkless of America. All thanks to obasonjo. Before 1990s dangote is just like a normal Nigeria billionaire. And now he is about to be richer than Nigeria if he eventually finish his refinary. He will dictate and control.

Any sensible Goverment will not allow a single company to monopolize existing buisness.

Benin republic had decided to go for china expensive cement instead of their closser neighbour Dangote cement.

If he can make it here, he can make it anywhere!

What's nonsense is this
Can trump be rich in Nigeria

Hell NO! DOT Department of Transportation would have withdrawn his DOT number and motor carrier authority. Are you nuts his truck will not even pass a road side inspection

Nigeria is not a level-playing field. If it was, Linda Ikeji would not be anywhere rich with her template, Davido would not be number 1 artiste without a good singing voice and crooky politicians would not have gone far with their bribery/corruption. The system here doesn't favor the best. But Dangote would have gone far though. But it won't be that easy as it was with Nigeria.

you forget to consider the sophistication of the roads in the u.s. if he were to be in the u.s he would not need to use the trailers for very long routes because there will be other means to transport the goods.

If his products are accepted at an equivalent rate, yes he can. But it is paradoxical, becos America as an advanced nation, dwell mainly on services rather mere products. The reason why u see d likes of Gates and Bezos on top of d wealth chain. So, realistically, Dangote will be much down down, but still fairly buoyant.

dangote is the richest black man in one of the poorest nations of the earth. In fact in the nation that has just overtaken India as the poorest nation. What does this tell you but Americans are rich and one of the richest country of the world. What does this tell you?

Are you trying to insinuate that there are no successful black people that are not into rapping in USA?

delishpot:
He will follow protocol and manage his fleet of trucks well. He will get sued for his last dime and people will avoid his brand in protest. It is too expensive and risky to be like that in a society with real humans. Naija is a jungle where anything goes. The ills have turned Nigerians to robots who only aim at money no matter how its gotten.

nnamdi kanu is d only true fact, n d thing making sense right now is an imminent break up... USSR did it... Nigeria is a twisted madness n d most bitter of it all is dat most Nigerians are begining to have it as a norm... Some are even advocate of the madness... Nigerians or sane ppl within the confluence of dis contraption can't just continue this way.. They even carry dangote name sing.... Nigerians...

Guestlander:
In America the roads are not terrible like in Nigeria. There are probably more trucks in California alone than all of Nigeria put together.
Yes, high probability he will still be rich.

That's a big lie. You can't tell me California may have more trucks than the entire Nigerian trucks. More part of America is covered by water than nigeria so they rely more on water transportation and air courier services in delivery.
Seems you've forgotten FMN, BUA, Ashaka, Dantata & sawoe, goldenpennny among others all have trucks. Go to Apapa Tin can island

Maybe yes, united state no holy pass, we still have some bad rich men in usa ,

I blame your teachers for not telling you about statistics.
Raw numbers are meaningless. You make comparisons with percentages, not absolute numbers.
Again, you failed tos show any evidence that Dangote truck contributes significantly to the number
of death per year.
There are 3 to 5 thousand accident deaths in Nigeria per year,
how many involve Dangote truck?

Until you can answer that question, all your points are mute.

Trucks don't kill people, People kill people. In this case the truck drivers.......

Don't be fooled by Zuckerberg's popularity.
There are a lot of rich families in the US who dominates traditional industries.

All countries give waiver one way or another.
Tesla's Elon Musk is being subsidized by the American government so are many southern farmers who
receive billions in subsidy every year.

It is never easy to get rich in any country if it was, 99% of one year's billionaire won't make it to the
next one.
