We are going to now get a glimpse of what will happen when the refinery is fully online.
He will rather export the petroleum products and earn dollars then sell locally for naira.
Let's watch and see things unfold.

The last paragraph of the news report clearly states it will meet local demand plus exports…

How much did CBN give him to begin his monopoly.
Rubbish!!
Ibeto was producing cement and so were benue cement factory and Nkalagu cement factory before the fulani killed those businesses and gave monopoly to this man.
Personally I dont like to hear his name

When Dangote bought BCC under Obasanjo’s privatization program…
Ibeto also bought Nkalagu Cement (while BUA bought Sokoto Cement and Bendel Cement).

Dangote has taken BCC from 400K capacity to 4m capacity (and provides Gboko with electricity, schools and hospitals)…
Meanwhile, Ibeto’s fellow Ibo kinsmen in Ebonyi State refused to allow him take control of Nkalagu until just a few years ago. SMH

ELKHALIFAISIS:
you are there when he paid it How much is he stealing from Nigerians since you know all

Publicly-listed companies by law are MANDATED to publish their audited financials…
So this is actually just from the listed companies (Dangote Cement, Dangote Sugar and NASCON Salt).

Meanwhile, Dangote Cement paid N40 billion in Q1 2021…
Which is more taxes than 13 of Nigeria’s big banks COMBINED!

ELKHALIFAISIS:
How much is he paying as tax

N115 billion in 2020, despite the pandemic…
N40 billion in Q1 2021, more than 13 Nigerian banks COMBINED!

This is a good development, no matter how you look at it.

My problem is where the profit is going? In Nigeria, Africa or Western countries.

Dangote recently announced he is going to invest the family wealth outside to preserve its worth. What is wrong with investing it at home where the profits are made?

This is exactly what foreign companies do. Their African Chief executives told us point blank that their first priority is to make money for their shareholders oversees.

Coca-cola, Guinness, Nestle and other multinational companies have been making profits in Africa for ages, even with local raw materials and cheap labor.

So what is the difference between them and Dangote, Odetola, Ibeto, Innoson and politicians laundering profits out of Africa?

First, you have to distinguish between the individual and the corporation…
The corporation has been probably the BIGGEST investor in Nigeria over the last couple of decades.

Meanwhile, family wealth is individual and has to be preserved generationally…
Since Obajana in 2003, the Naira has fallen from about N5/$1 to N500/$1, decimating individual wealth.

How will it benefit Nigerians.Dangote monopolism.

It's of no benefit to the common man. The vampires in power will suck up every possible benefit this could bring to the economy.

Hopefully, Soludo wins and the general elections as well, so another state can have a thinking governor.

The “achievements” Buhari has reduced Nigeria to…

First, it was the tallest flagpole and now the largest flag…
And they do not even have the sense to bring both together.

Actress Eucharia Anunobi Narrates How Her Father Refused To Send Her To School Because She Was A Girl Child

Actress Eucharia Anunobi, via her Instagram page, recounted how her rich father refused to send her to school just because she was a girl child, IgbereTV reports.

The veteran Nollywood actress stated that her father at the time said there wasn't any need to spend so much money on a girl child and insisted that only his male children will get educated.

Eucharia says today she has become that child who has engraved her father's name all over the world.

Read her post below.

CONGRATS!

Can’t really blame the dad…
He is merely a product of the SEXIST AND MISOGYNISTIC culture that pervades Nigeria.

Many Dullards produced by that PRIMITIVE culture are regularly spotted here on Nairaland!

DISGRACEFUL….

RICHARD NYONG would likely be in jail today in any civilized nation for negligent homicide, after the shoddy material and work he used at Lekki Gardens led to a building collapse during construction killing workers. Meanwhile, he has developed a HORRIBLE reputation for FRAUDULENT real estate practices at his Lekki and Abuja estates for failing to deliver what his company promised (and non-maintenance).

TIMIPRE SYLVA is another person who would be in jail in a civilized nation, but then he joined the APC and his MASSIVE corruption cases simply faded away (and presumably his FORTY-EIGHT seized houses simply returned to him). Only in Nigeria!

I am sure UNIPORT is a fine institution, with LOTS of admirable (even if not famous) alumni worth celebrating, but these ones are NOT it!

Hehehehehe.... U want Biafra? U really sure u want Biafra?
U know the tens of 'ekene dili chukwu' and 'young shall grow' buses filled with igbos that have landed d 'zoo' (Lagos/kano') this morning to seek for greener pastures?

Perhaps if u put ur money where ur mouth is by relocating ur lives, assets and liabilities back home, ppl will take u seriously.

Nwoke, U can't eat ur cake and have it!
#ndi-hypocrites!

English is not really a difficult language to understand (perhaps it is for some people)…
What about my MOCKING of the Online Republic of Biafra and DERISION of IPOBians was too difficult for you to grasp?!

Nonetheless, when people make DUMB comments, I have no qualms in calling them out…
And it is EXTREMELY DUMB to say we don’t want Igbo people to represent Nigeria while attacking them for wanting to leave.

That’s the actual DUMB “cake” that we Nigerians cannot eat and have. SMH

Dem go just open leg dey born like rabbit without planning for the kids.... .

I don't feel any pity for them, because 78.46% of these women do act as spy to bandits and BH terrorists and also serve them Fura Da Nunu to cool off.... Now, the monsters have destroyed their little means of livelihood.

Let them continue to eat grass for all I care, innocent Biafra women eat alot of grass during the war, So Sadiya and her likes can do better.

I feel pity for the kids…
They’re INNOCENT of the parents’ DUMBNESS!!

mapet:
..the missing part here was that the Russia judges told her off, that your flag is your identity and you do not desecrate it no matter what message you're trying to pass. She was deemed as wanting to influence the judges and curry pity, then she was disqualified.

Lesson:
1. Don't shit on your home.
2. Russia is not America. They don't do fake news nor western propaganda

That’s the part you got right…
Putin’s Russia is the sort of BRUTAL DICTATORSHIP that Bubu the Dullard’s government is aspiring to become.

richie240:
Sebi tmr now, if they prevent them from representing this nation at any event because of this 'saboteurial' tendencies, they'll begin to wail 'marginalization'.

I've always known dt the average s/e Joe -educated and illiterate- is a sleeper ipob!
Given the opportunity, they'll be activated at d push of of a button.

Few mock the Online Republic of Biafra more than I do on Nairaland…
But these sorts of DUMB comments like yours tend to lend empathy to their cause.

If you want to “prevent them from representing this nation at any event”…
Then why keep them as part of “this nation”? Some of you are truly DUMBER than IPOBians!

phineas:
Who wants to hire an international model that will pull a political ..... at a press conference sabotaging and entire brand.

She nearly sabotaged the pagent with her rubbish. You think the Russian chick didn't know what she was doing when she ensured she was reported as crying because someone poured yellow paint on her flag.The pageants brand don't need anyone aligning them with any political affiliation.

Desecrating flags of your country or any other country at pagents is a no no...

That said,the crying Russian girl probably was scared of the implication of dissing Russia (putin) on a global or local stage and was crying to show "this was not my intention". Cos if it was,chances are she may not be on a good foot with Putin

The silly Nigerian girl should be glad she got away with this one,next time she should try it with her other country's flag.

Meanwhile don't we have a law against desecrating Nigerias flag? They should scare her small and ask her supporters to explain with references why she should not be tried under that law.. might serve as detergent for other aspiring dumbos

candidtalk:
Best comment so far. Her action was unpatriotic, cynical, desperate, deliberately exploitative and very disrespectful against her own nation on a public stage.

This action turned off the judges rather than impress them as the desperate lady wanted. People don't love these kind of actions. This is a beauty pageant and not a political protest.

There is a time and place for everything and it would be obvious to the judge this is a cynical character desperate to use anything to win. A total turn off.

She was NOT disrespectful of her own nation, but of the DULLARDS running it into the ground…
DULLARDS that shoot peaceful protesters, loot the commonwealth, and cannot provide basic security, are the ones “desecrating” our flag!
