Considering the number of Nigerians dangote trucks kills on a daily basis, do you think dangote would still be this rich if his trucks killed that much in America?

He will be paying alot of taxes

hungryboy:
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

Out of point.....the question is about Dangote and his trucks not other people and their trucks....
How many individuals the number of trucks Dangote has?
Try to understand a question before commenting
Na I too sabi dey worry people like u

Osagyefo98:
For where?

He will pay tax and do the needful


Infact they won't see his name even in the next 90 yrs on forbes list.


The man is killing Nigeria with monopoly, waivers, tax evasion and unserviced plus unpaid loans...

Dangote is a thief...

You made the most profound and solide fact

Am surprise most people dont even see this apsect.

It was objs era he started

eyizlive:


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

The economy is a setback for most entrepreneurs in Nigeria, and Dangote on the surface is no exception. Though he may also have benefited from the overall lack of control, checks and balances from the government, one can not rule out the almost unarguable fact that anyone who can succeed in a backward society like Nigeria can succeed anywhere else in the world.

Really? You believe that. You're remarkable.

Trendishine:
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...

The thing dikwa painful no be small.

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.

The only reason why Dangote trucks kill people's regularly is because of the massive fleet of trailers that he controls. I repeat, it simply boils down to the massive fleet of vehicles that he owns

In America, they have a well developed logistics system and would not need so many trucks. Even if he did, I'm sure the drivers would be better trained

point of correction Dangote is not the richest in Nigeria. A lot of share holders in his company he is a figure head. He doesn't pay tax and import duties. If he start paying taxes like others you will know that he will not be among first 10 in Nigeria

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.

Dangote would still be very rich. He just simply has to play the game differently that's all. He has to play the game based on the rules in America.

First of all, no one knows for certain whether he would be this wealthy in the US or not. But one thing is certain, there's absolutely no way on God's green earth would he be allowed to monopolize the importation of the country's staple foods in the US as is the case in Nigeria. The US government does not pick and choose winners and losers when it comes to FREEDOM to engage in any business of your choosing. As for the killing of citizens by his trucks in accidents due to either lack of proper maintenance of his vehicles or untrained drivers, he would NEVER get away with that. As the owner, of such fleet of trucks, he owes a duty to other road users to act in accordance with the law and make sure that his vehicles are roadworthy and are operated in a safe manner. Besides, he would be tied up in so many civil suits that he has to make a decision to shape up or shape out. As people know, America is a sue-happy country and many of my colleagues would be happy to bring suits against his company for negligence.

The trucks aren't even the issue , the exploitative measures he adopts in Nigeria can't work in the US

He would find it very difficult to survive in the US , you also mentioned the unhealthy support he got from the government , he wouldn't stand a chance in a well organized economy. Success goes beyond taking the "back door"

Alright but not a monopolist .

The question was linked to the accidental deaths his trucks cause not about the economics of his business.

Why not?
Dangote's wealth is about 5% of Bill Gates and more than half of the World Billionaire are from America.

Of course. He would fall foul of antitrust laws.

For instance, rather than be an importer of commodities like sugar, he'd be a massive commodity exporter in the States, perhaps based in New York City.

He will. The guy is a hardcore entrepreneur and he would succeed anywhere regardless of the tools available to him.

In business it's all about being adaptable....its not the smartest or fastest that survive but those that are most able to adapt to changing conditions.

Nigeria has witnessed different political/military leaders, erratic policy changes, foreign companies entering the market to compete aggressively....yet despite all these Dangota has been consistently at the top.

Are you going to tell me he doesn't have political enemies? ofcuz he does. He's not the only rich person in nigeria with connections. The guy is just too good

In my opinion, I believe he would be a dollar billionaire if he was American. He will adapt to the American standards

He's smart, he's adaptable, he's ruthless...he understands how to play the game. He has the ingredients required to conquer any terrain/territory...those attributes remind me of John D Rockefeller

Very valid question considering the power US judiciary wields, i just want you to know that the fact the trucks kill people doesn't mean it's dangote fault entirely, the blame rests on the driver, the maintenance team and other factors... if you put into consideration that dangote plc pays their driver close to 1 million naira annually as bonus for accident free driving apart from their salary then you know that something is wrong somewhere.

1. My first hypothesis is that most of those employed are not evaluated psychologically or dangote company picks unskilled drivers to save running cost which in my opinion should 80% the problem.

2. Rumours have it that it's a ploy by the owner of the company to replenish his wealth. Which i find bizarre but we can't just rule it out considering we're in africa the HQ of the fetish.

Whichever way u see it! It's a niggling issue we have to deal with.

Dangote isn't the one driving his trucks tho.

Better question is will Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Bazos be this rich in Nigeria?!

He's NOT a monopolist in Nigeria/Africa either...
