Aconomist:
The reason is that Dangote is bribing them.

Or rather he has every agency in his pocket so is fully aware of everything that threatens his advantage...

CSTRR:

That is why regulators is important.

Try it in America and you may go to jail or pay huge huge fines.

In Nigeria, the regulators have dinners with him and can't regulate him.

That you can, does not mean you should.

Profits are not absolute.

The only reason you wont take a decision is because it could potentially come back to hurt you ahead.

If you determine that a certain markup has potentially disastrous tendencies for your business, you would desist.

But it would only be foolish to leave money on the table when its just there for the taking.

Dnagote is a Capitalist. A Capitalist doing national and continental things. He is going to need to markup as much as he possibly can to squeeze every ounce of profit he can.

For Dangote its go big or go home. You've all seen what he's doing with his refinery.

He didnt get there by being sentimental.

TSBO:


Then shouldn't this agitation be directed at the government. If it was not Dangote, it would likely be someone else. That's just how it is.

Speculative.

Dangote has agents inside the government. He is basically part of the government.

Unless the country disintegrates nothing can be done. Since the stock market for example became sick since 2007,it has remained sick and that's the bedrock of where innovativeness, enterprise meets financial resources. Tell me, how will the country not be sick.



Nigeria needs to disintegrate for so many good reasons. If it doesn't come, Nigeria will never move forward at its right pace

I don't think Nigeria needs to disintegrate nope,I think wat we solely need is to be sensitized,the major issue is bad Government, let's start from there,let us start sensitizing people now on those running for the next elections and say oh Mr A will be a better candidate, please coke out and vote for Mr A,don't let thunder strike you while collecting that 10k bribe,if it doesn't strike you it will strike your generations to the 5th,since we're so supernatural yes.
Let's start from there.
Next is check smaller problems like this Bank own now,let us call out Banks and shout on their heads,for example EcoBank,why in God's name will their ATM 80% times be empty,why??
Other ones too,these are minor issues we overlook that are ripping us off
Next is Petrol Station's, call them out and protest,why are they collecting #50 for Kegs whyyy
Like that like that,just watch it
We never even talk of road blocks and extortions ooo
Power is with the masses but we won't use it.
We have to understand the problem is individual not tribal,if we disintegrate I can bet it with you,we will be on for a Rollercoaster ride.

It's not a philosophy class. Stop playing semantics


Even the refinery is expected to push him to become the richest in the planet


No one beefs him. He should just stop killing Nigerians to make a buck

Dangote is at the fore front and as it is,our governments are handicapped when it comes to him so it is okay to unleash our aggression on him

Smiles. Kin satches Oga was 20 Naira for a decade. It's your business, I'm an economist and an industrial chemist. Why kiln prices later soared if I begin to break it down e go pass your mind. Go do your research. You dey weigh your own kiln buy?

oboy you just showed your ignorance. which one be say " I dey weight my own kiln buy". upon all your education you don't know all products have their net weigh?. abeg no embarrass yourself further. I have worked in nafdac (NYSC). food unit, chemical unit, veterinary unit, drug evaluation unit. let me educate you, klin comes in different quantities 16g, 25g, 65g, 120g and more. the ones that are more saturated in the market is 16g, 25g and 120g. I know no the economist you be

Oh see Sir

You've not replied me since Sir,my esteem oooo,ooo nooo

elGenius:
Op is just being mischievous and petty, or maybe ignorant.

let me enlighten you.

say you are an international business man selling product "A" to your country and country "Bc"

if the fuel price, electricity cost, tax and salary budget in your country is almost 2 or 3 times that of country "Bc", according to the law of cost, expenses, profit and all the economy brouhaha , will you still sell the product at the same price?

if not which country will "A" be cheaper??

this is common sense.

and Aba man who sells shoes in Lagos - imported through the port - and in his home town Aba, where do you think his shoes will be cheaper.

it's all about the expenses and profit.

.
Can you help us to tell Dangote to apply comparative cost advantage?
Produce in Zambia and import to Nigeria he will still be able to sell cheap and even with profit

If the country were more Liberal, all of this won't exist. You can apply, conduct geological survey, if you discover limestone for example, you set up your plant, produce, visit the stock market, raise funds, scale up production

. But is this ever as open as this for new entrants where you have the oligarchs like Dangote?

Probably not. But facing Dangote is like cutting branches to kill a tree..

And don't forget, lobbyists exist everywhere (at least virtually everywhere).

The buck really stops with the government.

When it comes to Nigeria's matter,there are some comparisons that are ironic
Who owns MTN,who is Dangote?
Just look at this refinery stuff,left to me,na Nigeria dey pay the entire money for that Refinery
Dangote is highly favored na,on a National level,MTN for where,no na..
Next time compare Dangote and Tinubu or another magnanimous economic Influencer,walahi na the real Influencers be this

Lucrativress:

"The Game" laced with greed and corruption, it won't change the fact that he's leveraging on "the Game" and when it gets to the national level as it is now,then you know that man has the power of price stability which is meant to be with the Government.
Take it or leave it,Dangote is a huge part of the Government and as long as we won't see that as a problem, we will keep suffering.

But your Government has failed to live up to its responsibilities.

That's why individuals wile powers that should belong to the federation.

Let me digress a bit. Do you know that it is unconstitutional and illegal for individuals to own oil blocks. By the constitution of Nigeria, this very one we run now, it is an illegality. Yet we have individuals who we all celebrate, officially registered as Oil Block owners. No one is saying anything about that.
As a matter of fact, if you were to be given that opportunity, the knowledge that it is an illegality will not stop you. So wat exactly are saying.

That it is not right for an individual to take advantage of lapses that put him in prime position to benefit himself?

Please, we are just barking up the wrong tree.

Sorry. Go mark it down someone said it. That Nigeria has to disintegrate to move forward.


Same way 2000/2001 I was crying that Obasanjo granting Dangote all he did then won't make him have competition and would have severe problems for the country back then even when almost only few people saw it is now playing before our eyes.


I'm saying it again by virtue of my depending knowledge of internal information, that Nigeria has to disintegrate to become optimally functional

maxxx:

This contribution is not an intelligent one. The cement we are talking about Hausa,igbo,yoruba,ijaw,efik,fulani,tivi,igala,ibibio,urhobo,edo,itshekiri,kanuri,idoma, etc all buy it at the exorbitant rate it is being sold to us.So don't be myopic and understand that this act by dangote has the potential to stop you,me etc from being serial house owners.As we talk now there is serious shortage of houses in Nigeria .

Thank you for correcting me intelligently. And that's what I expected from those who live by breathing insulting words.
We're all striving to make things work... I'm not a citizen there but take Nigeria as my second home....soon be coming there to add my quota to the housing deficit....and Dangote won't be seeing our officials.... again...thank you

Lol don't shake your head too much.

The business runs to make a profit, and you and I know that we usually cannot rely on businesses to do what would adversely affect their bottom line, even when if it is for the greater good (which is debatable).

My point is the government is the main culprit here, cos if it's not Dangote, someone else can just as easily be in that position.

What bloody factories. Before Dangote, was Nigeria not producing everything he sint. Tell me

I met cement at 70 Naira in my life time. Not fairly tale

Go sit down abeg

Aconomist:


The problem is that he used corruption to kick other players out of the industry. Look. Every modern country has consumer protection laws to prevent price gouging and ensure competition in the economy -- im simply arguing for the same in Nigeria. Stop reasoning like a monkey and use common sense please.

We’re not stupid, weren’t we importing the product before?

As we’re importing fuel has it made the commodity cheaper?

On the contrary, you're very stupid. Long before they started this local production agenda, imported cements were quite cheap and affordable in the 90s
