This is the type of man the Igbos suppose to present to Nigeria as a competent and able candidate for the presidency not the one that the only achievement recorded under his administration for 8years was a barren brewery.

The man brilliantly good. We all saw what he did in small Ebonyi with little IGR, I wish him success.

No infrastructure and policy to stimulate local production. That's why everyone is importing because it's cheaper to import than produce here.

If you beg them to sell below their cost price and they say no, you make them the enemy of the country. That's the political culture here.

Ideally, you shouldn't beg anyone. Instead, you go and fix those factors that make local production expensive in Nigeria. That's what leaders do.

Outline three factors so that we can learn..

I understand your rgument, however, I still wonder why Dangote will still sell his cement cheaper in countries like Ghana than Nigeria considering that he exports the same product from Nigeria to Ghana, so what's the economic logic?

It's not always the case. When you analyze the cost of production In Nigeria, particularly electricity, transportation, forex and multiple taxation, i believe you'll have a different opinion. The government should remove all these bottleneck in order to ease local manufacturers.

That's not true, are you telling me he pays less in Benin Republic where he sales 2.5k per bag of cement? The same thing in Ghana. Our corrupt government allowed him that's why.

Dangote is a businessman. And he is doing anything to stay afloat. As a businessman I will do the same.
As a matte of fact, as a businessman I am do everything to cripple my competitors.

If the monopoly that dangote cement enjoys is broken the price of his cement will crashed.If other players are allow to import the product nobody will patronise his cement because of his capitalistic behaviour.

Is it only cement that costs in ur country?

Did u ask urself why other things cost?

Or, he is the only one producing virtual everything in ur country?

I biliv u study a little bit of Economy....go back and study "production cost"

Meanwhile, u can also put it into practice by going into production......even if it's ordinary fish farm.....

I will expect you to do magic by selling your own 1kg of fish in #500.
if the border is open for importation and duties are reduced the prices of dangote cement,rice and other product will crash.
Re: Minister Of Works, Umahi, Compares The Price Of Imported & Local Cement by gabbytabby: 4:00pm On Aug 25, 2023
Dangote suffers from the same problems bedevilling most businesses in Nigeria

1) Lack of infrastructure and utilities increasing cost.
2) Ha has to bribe every major party and everyone to get the resources he needs.
3) The dishonest and dishonourable conduct of the average Nigerian employee meant they almost ran his business aground and after changing management 3 times and same same he had to go abroad and pay salary, housing, travel in dollars and still able to make profit that he was not able when his management were Nigerians alone.

There is a cost to corruption and fraud in the Nigerian space and we all end up paying for it.

Dangote is a monopolist and has no iota of pity for the poor.

Sure and suffer the consequences.

I would never give a research or writing job or recommend anyone who already had strong political opinions. A research or writing expert must be known for their skills not for their opinions. Open mindedness aids the creative process. Even my children's lesson teachers or the staff teachers in my wife school dare not talk politics or religion. Its a dismissal point straight away.

If you do get jobs on this medium they will be low paying ones from desperate people who will talk down your pricing.

Just giving you a bit of friendly advice. A lot of you are falling into the same mistake.

But hey its your life.

Yes it is cheaper in neighbouring countries. Out leaders sold the cement industry to Dangote and lately, the petroleum sector.

If border opens and the prices crash, what will happen to few remaining companies in the country that can't compete with foreign companies? If companies pack off completely in ur country, how would people in ur country get jobs?

Can govt in ur country provide jobs for everyone in ur country?
