Leave the hatred we have for Buhari for now and be honest. The guy said the truth, Buhari can make Dangote go down a bit, he has the power.

Ibeto can testify what a president can do.

Lol. Who am I to argue with kindergarten analyst ?
Go play with some sand

Nna you are going to far with ibeto.....let me give you my small experience.

In the early 2000 ,we were importing finished furnitures from Dubai,making a lot of money and living large,we were the toast of boys in Lagos island,alaba international and Victoria island.........OBJ made import duties on finished furnitures 100%......we had goods already on the way ,bought with almost all our capital.....When the goods arrived we had to borrow money to clear them,sold ,ran into debts.....And that's the downfall of Dubai furniture imports at that time.

Just a single govt. policy and the business collapsed.

Mobsync:
Is Murray Bruce now licking ass? Is he now saying Dangote is honorable?

Dangote and honorable are two words that should not appear in the same sentence.

Sorry man, Dangote has no form of honor in him. He is one of the crony capitalists holding this nation at ransom.

Crony capiotalism (using padi padi to get concessions and lucrative government contracts) is one of the banes of middle income countries like Nigeria.

Crony capitalism leads to unfair business advantages, destroying competition and causing monopoly, which Dangote enjoys today.

And unless the nation involved destroys that crony capitalism, it will never rise past the middle income ceiling. It will never become a high earning nation like the US and every other first world nation in the world today.

Screw you Murray Bruce. Dangote is not honorable and he is not powerful than Buhari either.

Dangote got his money and power from the government and that same government can crush him.

WawaIPODJew:

Too many kids on Nairaland ,they will still disagree with you . Lol.
Can you imagine not less than 10 people have quoted my post to argue with me

zlantanfan:
This just clarifles this man is truly dumb, dangote is not that spectacular in business, he has only been a beneficiary of a monopolized government collaborated structure which has aided him since inception.

He is a beneficiary of the northern conspiracy (which exist from political power).

Remove this government power from Dangote and see him crumble like he did with his noodles at open market

Lordave:
And Dangote can choose to shut down operations and lay off workers, thereby rendering the labor market unnecessarily saturated with unwanted labor force.

How is that good for Buhari and his government?

gssdobi:
.power is money,but money is not power.There are things power can do money can't.

bettercreature:
He is very wrong! No one knows Dangote outside Nigeria.Everyone around the world knows the president of Nigeria

milemimi93:
Lordave is a kid who doesn't know what power means. because u employed labourers doesn't make u powerful.Dangote is under Buhari's policies. PMB can cripple him in secs..

WritePal

But Buhari has limited time (4 years) to make any vindictive policies.
Then, after his tenure is expired, those vengeful policies can be reversed in secs..
You lots make it look like Buhari is president for life. Power is turn by turn. Wealth and the power that comes with it? Not necessarily so. wink

positivethought:
With the enormous international business connections n interest Dangote represents, even with his presidential power buhari will be digging his own grave trying that,ibeto is not in the league of Dangote,in fact even Tinubu buhari can't dare,what just happened in Lagos in the name of APC party primary n the national party executive having to kowtow to Tinubu despite the claims of buhari intervention clearly shows that.

krattoss:
How on earth do u think this I'll be possible?
An employee to over 20% of the population on labour, with so many connection,money and allies..

How do I think that can be achieved?

profmallor:
If he tries it AMCON would take over his businesses and in less than a month, no one would remember Government is running his show. There are a number of big businesses in Nigeria that have been taken over by Government. All these Billionaires have a thin line between wealth and nothing. But Dangote has done well, we won't fail in Jesus name.

megamank:
Which kind talk be this one na? Only one policy from buhari dangote will crubble to his feet begging....do you know the powers vested on a president? Ben Bruce abeg talk another thing

coolscott:

How has he held our country to ransom. The only thing one can observe from your comment is the popular rancour expresses by the have-nots towards the haves.

The popular disgruntledness felt by the poor about the rich

maxwell530:
bro forget the power vested in a president, some set of people can even impeach the president before tomorrow morning, there are some rich people that control the government.You can goggle Pablo Escobar,there was a time in history of Colombia when Escobar owns and control all the cops in Colombia. He made himself untouchable by the Government and even built his own prison.

rolling2430:
Buhari's hatred should not make Ben Bruce foolish. Dangote became wealthy because successive govts gave him backing and introduced policies that favoured him. They allowed him to have monopoly on so many business. A govt policy is enough to ruin and destroy his business empire. Power anywhere is above money

megamank:

Which country did u just mentioned? What are they known for? Lawlessness and crime.....bros make dangote just try openly challenge buhari first.....then we go know who get Nigeria pass....only stoppage of importation waivers given to him would hit him below belt....

slivertongue:
dey wok hand in hand.In 3rd world political power is everythin bt in democratic countries economic power is sine-quo-non

masseratti:
Why are stupid people all over the Internet especially Nairaland these days? All saying Danote is more powerful than Buhari are clowns and are not born during the Abacha days, as powerful and as rich as Abiola was the government of the day crippled his empire turned it to nothing, he who controls the arms control the power in any sovereign state, in ours its the commander in chief, that one shouting ŃSE will collapse if Danote business is brought down does not remember that Buhari didn't care in 2016 when the naira was kissing 500 to a dollar.

Buhari is not powerful, he's lifeless..
