Even the questions you ask shows how pedestrian your thinking is so, it will be a waste of time and a futile dissipationof energy, if l start by drawing a parallel between how those who enjoy undue Monopolistic Control, occasioned by unfair practices of tribal cronyism. as practiced in Nigeria, contribute to the comatose state of our Refinery.
I should not even direct you to take a look at the Staff list of NNPC (or any of its subsidiaries like the DPR), so you know how Dangotte relates to the same people who churn out and implement POLICIES that got our Refineries to where they are today, despite all the Billions of naira in Turn-Around Maintenance they have handled on our behalf, over the years.

Our Refineries not working (and still gulping an "Annual Running Cost" in the range of #10B every year) is not a function of lack of Knowledge or ability to fix it, it is borne out of CORRUPTION, the same Corruption that underlines Monopoly and Price Fixing/Gauging that Dangotte (and his likes) uses to enrich himself.

But hey, since you write in the "third-person" tense of speech, l guess you are not a Nigerian and thus just want o vent your anger, that is your right, whether you are being honest to yourself or not.
Keep Venting, Louder please.

We aren't talking of abroad or Donald Trump. U claimed payment of taxes is one of d benefits of this policy that favours just a few in Nigeria. Now we see that it has no benefit in taxes as u so put it. Dangote doesn't pay indirect taxes.

Dangote uses mostly foreign contractors especially Indians to do his jobs. So leave that side. Was it dangote refinery that changed d landscape of lekki, eko Atlantic and vgc? How did u arrive at that conclusion? Before dangote, there was free trade zone. So it's not dangote that changed d landscape of ibeju-lekki.

This is vague:

"Benefits abound via multiier effects to the economy...".

My question was asking for specifics:

"What exactly are d benefits to d economy that u are touting?"

Madam leave me!! Am not into old woman

Rockyheight:
And to think Dangote is already calling on the Governnent to restrict importation of fuel to only people with refining licence.The sad reality is that he will get it . And am so sure that he will buy crude in Naira and sell to Nigerians in dollars. He is very unscrupulous. I have always thought that Dangote has nothing to teach the youth when it comes to business. Any fool will succeed when they get the kind of waivers privileges, and patronage he gets from government.

tutudesz:

Nigeria is this bad because we refuse to question certain decision of Government and when we do, they label us has hater's, poor, bring them down syndrome
I guess she is very rich

Stvpid and ignorant people with 'unipolar reasoning', cant be rich!
It will surprise you that it is the poorest among us that fight on behalf of their rich oppressors

favor914:
Guilty conscience, no wonder you lack knowledge?

loswhite:
so you mean you will buy refined fuel from petrol stations with USD right....lol most Nigeria citizens are just educated illiterate.
The truth is alot of ppl had license to build refineries but refused to do so rather they imported fuel to the detriment of all Nigerians and became billionaires due to subsidy scam. It is important to note that fuel importation is part of the inflation we are experiencing due to a weaken naira against the US Dollars.
Dangote decided to do the needful and he is saying if there is a shortfall in the future only those with active license of refining should be able to import the product. The question I want to ask my fellow citizens is why do we want to support ppl that choose to focus on importation rather than refining? In what way do this ppl benefit us as Nigerians? Why do we want ppl without refineries to be importing fuel when there is a short fall? If only these ppl choose to build refineries in the first place there will be no need for importation due to shortfalls

tutudesz:

Can't you make a single comment without insulting Serioiously because we are in a faceless forum, doesn't mean we can respect ourselves

trailblazar:

Nairaland has very weak regulation. Why you must engage with someone whose argumentative strategy is to insult opponents of his position is really beyond me. Can't even do a poll to introduce a "block" feature.

Rubbish long epistemology, who are you blaming? You people should go & fix your refineries, a beggar has no choice, let your papa go & borrow money & invest. It is Dangote that is taking the risk not your father.

trailblazar:

Especially when you can see a developing market with very poor regulatory framework and enforcement of policies. Profiteering/Racketeering
Nigeria will continue to suffer Bigman Syndrome.
From frying pan into fire. What did independence in 1960 give us? We are still slaves in the mind after 50 years. Failed country.

Obviously, you are a nitwit!
You cant even differentiate between "Epistle" and "Epistemology".
The fact that you are referring to "Your father", in a discussion about policy and economics, viz-a-viz the Nigerian Climate, shows that you lack Home training and the intelligence to engage in public discourse.
I wont dignify your poor upbringing, it is glaring you were raised in the gutter and it is best l allow you to roll in the gutter.
I dont engage uncultured !diots, not even anonymously.

When i saw it point out sarcasm in my comment and realised it doesn't understand what sarcasm is, I didn't dignify him with a reply. All i saw was mud and a piggy so it's difficult if not impossible for me to engage it.

You cannot improve the quality of lives of poor by killing the rich

You do not promote local content by banning foreign content

You do not encourage export by banning import

Its simple economics 101 dude.

favor914:
I see why you are there at the bottom pit, you have a very poor mentality, be waiting for cheap crude from Dangote, just the same way you are waiting for free data from Airtel, or is it MTN?

Coronabirus:
Children of hates. You celebrate your criminal rich and hate those into legitimate business. Your ppl sell drugs, traffic people for slavery, and were on several occasions given many licence and billions of naira CBN loan to build modular refineries but ended up siphoning the money and diverting it for personal gratification but all these isn't enough. Out of less than 300 people Nigeria owe more than N3trillions are southerners, they failed to do anything with the what they collected.
If not because of Dangote we would be buying cement at more than 30k/bag.
About the issue of selling and buying of crude oil in naira, u need to understand the concept and economic benefits of it not just come here and advertise ur ignorance. Your people are only investing in building churches and media propaganda while others are building Nigeria's economy but u're are still not happy with it; u only want to see whites people controlling our economy not our fellow citizens. What have u said abt Shell and other IOCs operating in Nigeria, looting and corrupting the sector? Nobody knows the exact crude oil Nigeria produces everyday excerpt them and u kept mute as if u're gag.
Family of Dangote and BUA were extremely rich before Nigeria was amalgamated, u need to learn history.
If not because of u're educationally illiterate, how can govt buy Dangote petrol, govt will only be a guide in making laws on how the business should be conducted because this the first time we've such a big private refinery & he want to forestall the potential conflict in the market.
Idiot ppl, children of hates; this attitude can't even be seen in animals kingdom.

Hate Bring Them Down Syndrome is what will destroy people like you, whether Dangote buys crude in yuan or Naira, how does it effect you? Mumu you may not know, natural crude oil is not Nigeria’s problem, we have that in abundance, refining the natural crude is the problem, you pay dollars when commodities are exported, can crude oil sold to Dangote in Nigeria be classified as export? Dangote’s refinery will add another 660,000 barrels a day to Nigeria’s export.

So u mean Ibeto wasn't willing to take d risk? Is "everything working against" dangote and co mentioned in d story?

Taxes paid? Are u aware that dangote barely pays taxes as a result of being a beneficiary of some of d policies mentioned in d article?

What exactly are d benefits to d economy that u are touting?

MansoryMX:
Only a matured mind will take his/her time to read up this beautiful article and see the danger that lies ahead for Nigerians. I drove down to a nearby refilling station to buy petrol this evening and i was shocked it’s now sold for 175-190/liter (excluding the already tampered fuel pump). It shall never be well with Buhari, his thieves and all those who voted this evil government in power. As for those of you still supporting this government because of stipends y’all benefits from them, Doomsday will visit you all!
