I remember when Yar'Adua made that decision in the interest of the country. Even at death, we still celebrate him.

When Jonathan came on board, he became a weakling who allowed Nigerian politicians turned technocrats show the real evil in them.

How did refusing to sell the refinery help Nigeria? It ended up making us lose more billions to their perennial turn around refinery maintenance. I really pity us in this country. If not for foolishness and corruption tell my why public corporations can’t function profitably

The same people lauding this will soon come back here to complain

Yes Oga, private refinery is development. Governments, the world over, shouldn't run businesses but create enabling environments & policies for entrepreneurs to run businesses profitably.

Thanks to Aliko Dangote for building this gigantic refinery in Lagos.

It's really a shame that the largest oil producing country in Africa doesn't have a single functional refinery

Gone are those days hopefully.

It’s unfortunate as anything Government has too many vested interest inefficiency and ultimately they will run it down.

The successful big businesses are owned by foreigners or by foreigners in senior management no be juju be that.

Instead of this kind of honest introspection na unnecessary chest beating over criminality the slave man they boast of.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. It is possible to still be useless with a lot of money if you don’t produce anything. We need to keep asking what our life purpose is.

See Nepa privatisation run by Nigerians no improvement whatsoever came out of it. Everybody stealing right left and centre. It is well oh.

Yara'dua and the incompetent man from Bayelsa.

These were the legacies OBJ left us with. He should take the blame. No one knew Yaradua or what his though processes were. But nah, bulldozed his way into nominating such people without ideology into governance and handed 180million Nigerians to them. Imagine if the refinery were left as far back as 2006? Imagine where we would have been by now? But nah reversed all the gains of the earlier years of democracy. Same thing that the useless government in 2007 did for NIPP by cutting short the investments in the transmission arm of Power. Started the useless $16Billion power probe that led to nowhere when they 100% knew those were investment in such critical infrastructure and just needed continuous investment to yield the final results. Gutted the NEEDS document and started the useless 7-point agenda that had no head or tail.

When we say that purposeful leadership goes beyond "He is nice", "has one house", "carries his bag" , "runs one Union bank account" a lot of kids on these sections shout themselves hoarse. You need people with a foresight and ruthless understanding of biz to actually launch a country to prosperity. Government can not achieve lifting large swats of it's population out of poverty directly but they can do it by enabling the environment for businesses to thrive and facilitate policies that boost productivity.

Yes he was. During his short regime, the refineries were working.

you’re a lair for saying Nigeria pay more than other African countries for cement, why some of you never say things without lying about it ?

I still remember that time. It eventually turned out well for him as he now had to build his own from the scratch.

It was the Nigeria Labour Congress that led the chorus in crying foul and denouncing the sale of "our national patrimony." Yar'Adua joined them in the macabre dance. Kaduna refinery is still there- moribund- to this day.

Your unnecessary hatred for him will not change the fact that he is a million times better than your father!

I would have insulted you but no, you need advice and my 2 cent for you is to have a rethink, life is too short, your hatred for Obi is simply because he is an Igbo man and that means you feel disturbed each time you hear or see any Igbo man making progress in life. So, being that you encounter this everyday, I can imagine how ugly your life has been. You can begin to reverse this by knowing that you are nothing but a mere mortal and nobody.

Kukutenla:
Na Yaradua work be dat
The speed with which he reversed so many of Obj's last minute decisions shocked even the devil.
Nigeria was the worst for some of those reversals especially in power and oil industry

In a PDP to PDP government ooo.A godfather to godson.

Yet some people think Tinubu that had no godfather or had the support of buhari will truly start where Buhari stops.You will see alot of reversal of some policies of buhari.

HacheNoire:


What monopoly business! Y’all keep shouting monopoly like Dangote handcuffed other competitors. Rise to the stage of you can compete and stop screaming “MONOPOLY”

Even several companies were issues license to build refineries, only Dangote did, and you still will accuse him of monopoly.

The very few still investing massively in the country, while others are stashing cash in safe havens.

THAT IS IGBO FOR YOU,once its not them,other cheated to have it!

Hahahaha, Independent thinker!Do you want Dangote refinery to sell products below the production cost? You guys can go and build yours and sell below production cost. What's the cost of producing a bag of cement in Nigeria compared to those other countries? Dangote is not the only local cement producer - you can patronize other brands Dangote isn't stopping you.

Sincerely! Hate, jealousy and envy runs through their veins.

With the whole self acclaimed Billionaires in their region, none can even think of building such, and here they are attacking someone that did it because he is not from their tribe.

I like this man sha.... He goes for what he wants and he's friends with everyone. He doesn't do politics or party he is for everyone and for no one. A real capitalist.


Enjoys lots of government patronage and ve used it to do big things.

Some handle mops were already taking the opportunity to insult the living daylight out of Buhari but quickly recalled that their recently adopted god was in charge then.

They sharperly make a U turn and start murmuring some funny inaudible sounds.


The police was not reversed by Jonathan administration but it was on of the first decision made by Yaradua.

georgeakins:


Go and build your own and stop envying these successful people because they are not from your tribe

For me ,God has blessed every tribe . So please stop replying people who want war. All tribes has investment that has made everyone irrespective of tribe comfortable and happy..

So sheathe your sword Bro. One love ! One naija!!!

So funny reading the responses here.
We were witnesses in the early days of the Yaradua regime when the privatization of the refineries was cancelled after pressure by 'concerned' individuals, labour unions and government fat-cats and used as a political football to dribble naive citizens ever since.

The unions resisted, half the population insisted it be so. That selling to Dangote was privatising our collective patrimony. What has suddenly happened today...... suffering has formatted the thinking of most, elevated their thought process out of the kind of sentiment still holding sway in many other ways.

And that is why i am personally comfortable and assured that the present sufferings and those likely to exacerbate in the coming months and years will purge our fellow citizens more of ethno-religious biases and let this country flow freely.

Yesterday it was, 'no we don't want refineries privatised. He will sell them to his friends', today they are hailing private refining.
Tomorrow I want these same 'hailers' to explain how government owned refineries will compete in the same space with this one.

So before you party remember billions have been allegedly spent to refurbish NNPC's..... I am eagerly watching out for the last act in this drama like other audiences in a country with deep citizen contradictions. A people that simply do not know what they want. Just wavering with the wind.

Basic123:

Remove this hate speech. I believe Dangote has employed hundreds of employees including hausa,Igbo, Yoruba,Calabar and the likes)

Otedola / obasanjo and Rich Yoruba business mogul has also employed different tribes

Innoson/ chukwuma / Ned nwoko/ cubana has also done same thing.. please drop the hate

Oga leave talk.

You have Consummated the union. North west.

No other tribe would have pull this off.
