igbo2011 seems like a swell, idealistic sort of dude. I wonder what the over/under is until he is corrupted by Nairaland. 3 months?

@ekt beat
Probably never man. I try and learn from different points of views on this site. There are many and it is interesting.

@Alj Harem
This is correct but they don't produce nay phones in Nigeria (correct me if I am wrong). I am working on factories inside Nigeria. We need to revive the textiles and manufacturing base in Nigeria.

We should build thousands of these and put it in the Sahara Desert. This will solve many of Africa's power problems.

Dangote Cement plans London listing

By Xan Rice in Lagos
Aliko Dangote

Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man, plans to list his $11bn cement business on the London Stock Exchange next year and loosen his personal control over the company.

The Nigerian industrialist, who has capitalised on the continent’s booming demand for building materials, told the Financial Times he intends to free-float a 20 per cent stake in Dangote Cement to finance its rapid expansion. It will be the first listing of one of Mr Dangote’s companies outside Nigeria.

“We want to list in London next year,” he said in an interview in Lagos. “By then the upside to our business will be much bigger than today.”

Already the largest cement producer in sub-Saharan Africa, Dangote Cement is more than doubling capacity this year to 21m metric tonnes, and wants to reach 43m tonnes in 2015. Besides Nigeria, where it has three plants and 70 per cent market share, the company has contracts to construct factories in eight African countries, from Senegal to South Africa to Ethiopia.

The expansion comes at a time of fast growth in Africa, with the IMF forecasting that regional economies will expand by 5.75 per cent this year. This is boosting spending on infrastructure and housing and driving demand for cement.

Dangote Cement’s net profit in 2011 is expected to be $790m on revenues of $1.5bn, according to guidance filed at the Nigerian Stock Exchange. Mr Dangote, whose net worth is $12bn according to Forbes, said he wanted to quadruple profits within four years and turn the business into the world’s most profitable cement company.

Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan have been appointed as co-leads for the London share issue. Mr Dangote said that the company was on track to meet the stringent corporate governance requirements for a premium listing, and that he would give up his current role as chairman.

“My plan is to have different faces [on the board],” he said. “The face of the chairman will not be Aliko Dangote, it will be somebody else, a professional who is well-respected within investment circles.”

At the same time, Mr Dangote’s conglomerate, Dangote Group, is changing focus. It plans to sell 80 per cent stakes in its food business, which include salt, sugar, flour, rice and pasta.

Besides cement, the group will concentrate on three other main sectors, Mr Dangote said. The mining arm will focus on coal, iron and bitumen. The petrochemical business will produce methanol, polyethylene, and fertiliser.

The infrastructure business plans to produce and sell 2,000MW of electricity in Nigeria – about half of the country’s current capacity – when power sector deregulation is completed, and to build a $1.5bn port, “the biggest deep-sea port in West Africa”, near Lagos.

Does anybody else have idea to develop the economy of Nigeria?

Philosophy and National Development: A Critical Analysis of Nigeria Socio-Economic Situation.

There have been many attempts by different scholars over the years to give a comprehensive meaning of what development really is. The exercise has not been easy to achieve because many people see development to mean different things.  People have different concept or notion on development because of their background, ideology and philosophical insight as to what development is. To some people, development has to do with infrastructure, to some others it has to do with moral phenomenon, to some; it has to do with freedom and liberty...

The Nigerian economic system

Nigeria is a mixed-economy with a positive leaning towards a free-market economic system. The provisions of the Nigerian Constitution (1979) summarize the objectives of this economic system, namely that:

(a) the state shall control the national economy in such a manner as to secure the maximum welfare, freedom and happiness of every citizen on the basis of social justice and equality of status and opportunity:
