Why was Dangote cement retailing at a third of what it was going for in Nigeria in other African countries?


Dangote has been abusing federal patronage at the detriment of other competitors in Nigeria

U dey use question answer question....u go like wahala oooo

So how much larfarge cement dey sell to other countries...since the price of other countries buy worries u so much

Omowale2023:
Dangote can't sell fuel below Global market price/liter. And if USA is buying fuel at 4 dollars/liter. Therefore Dangote can't sell fuel below 5,000 naira/liter. The other option is to pay subsidies to him. That's over 700 billion naira every month(If he would decide to sell fuel to the Nigerian Market).

Baba.....Those importing fuel said landing cost is 1200naira...right??
.why will local production put price at 5000naira just because fuel sells in the US for $4

MossadAgent:
I am bothered because it will see to FX flight and a reduction in FX earnings from crude sales .

The only winner here is Dangote and his Jewish investors.

Not you.

Baba...u are worried about what u have no control over.... Some power players are involved in all this issue to fill their pockets

... The only thing we the masses can get out of reasonable pricing so we can breathe abit

Weda we our fx earning from crude oil is high or low...our leaders are still criminals that won't let us enjoy our common wealth....

That's why I never supported removal of the two major subsidy ( fuel & our currency)... because the money removed will only be embezzled

MossadAgent:
I provided the scenario of Dangote cement pricing in Nigeria being far higher than what it was retailing in other African countries and said this was due to Dangote's hunger for FX and market share in other countries which he was able to achieve through passing the cost of subsidizing his cement on the Nigerian market.

The same scenario will play out with his refinery . So expect refined Dangote products to be cheaper outside Nigeria .

Wateva the price is ....as long it's reasonable why are u bothered about how much petrol costs in another country.....is their economy the same with yours??

Whether investor borrowed him money or he used his personal cash, a huge business like Dangote refinery is not expected to break even in one year..

so the idea of you making it look Dangote refinery product will be very expensive in order to pay back investor is just fallacy....

A new business cannot go beyond reasonable pricing just becos it wants to recover initial investment cost..there will always be a period of running at negative profit...

Whyai:
If it is hasty fallacy to conclude that a power (particularly with a claim of being ultimate) that can be confronted in a coup is not infallible. Don't you think it is ridiculous to base faith on the fact that such story as a whole could be true.

This is just one aspect of inconsistency in the nature of the biblical god.

Your defence has fallen apart in my opinion and dismissing my point as fallacy doesn't suffice.

U reach nonplausible conclusions without evidence ....that's why i said ur points are fallacy.....read ur own comment...u use the word "must" without evidence weda biblical or general conventionality

Defence.....?? Nigga u funny....I thought we are just exchanging line of thought on this issue as devils advocates...don't forget...no one has full knowledge of who God is or his capacity... Like I said....the bible are just accounts of encounters...man is of course not perfect

Altogether...whatever version makes u sleep well I might is totally fine by me.... If u here to play game of right to wrong.... U are free to call me wrong..that's fine too

Whyai:
1. Bible is the merger of various Accounts. Which means the authors would be vested for it to be axceptable? If you dont know the authors, how then were they vested and their writibgs divine?

u have free will...no body expects u to accept anything....the bible is an account of pple's encounter, from the law to prophets and the gospels.... Its only divine to who believes and find God through them..

Whyai:
2. According to the Bible, the angels who acted with him also have free will and are rational. If they are influenced by the devil, then must have a shared conception of a weakness they can capitalize upon.

lol...u funny
..U use "must" a lot without evidence of any plausibility ...this is fallacy.....
Also u keep using weakness yet the so called coup ddnt even succeeded...the orchestrator of the coup and his accomplices couldn't even defeat their fellow angels let alone God....so what's this weakness u keep rambling about??
I mentioned earlier ...that the devil is no different from humans here on earth..we insult God, we rebel all the time with our free will...so u feel God shouldn't let anyone rebel against him...lol.....nigga thats not free will

Whyai:
3. By your house of senate reference, you are affirming that the Bible's heavenly leadership structure is earthly, therefore without an absolute power ir perhaps such that can be threatened.

.another fallacy of hasty conclusion ...I'm not affirming anything... I only made an analogy.. the structure of governmental arrangement cannot possible be compared to heaven's

Whyai:
If the Bible's god's heaven is so disfunctional, another battle in heaven could be under way, so he cant be all powerful.

... I can see a whole lot of order, and perfection in this cosmos....so i don't get your context of dysfunctional and I certainly dont get the context of ur all-knowing

Whyai:
This cant be the analogy of an all powerful God. The only way for christianity to be truthful is to affirm the Bible has been corrupted, hence the corrupted image of the Christian god.

opinion is free....like i said...u rush into fallacy alot

Whyai:
Then, people can find their God elsewhere.

Sure....Find ur God wherever u want, i.e if u want
I said that earlier...pple have been finding God long before the bible....but u were probably not following ..

Prisco4luv:
Please give me your advice.. should I forget about her or is there anything is that is making her to do that way..

Lol....of course you should forget her....

No vex ooo...u sound very entitled.....I know she's family....but the truth is she really doesn't owe you anything..... Yes she made a promise...but thats human being for you

Whyai:
1. The devil didn't act alone.

so..?? What has not acting alone got to do with his intention ....the text said he's the gang leader...other were just riding on his deceptive and pride-driven mandate.....The others probably believed him because of his position .... Imagine the senate president planning a coup....being a member of the senate others could Believe him compared to a random local government chairman trying to do the same

Whyai:
2. Unlike Hitler and the Nazis, the devil and his fellow rebels must have known that the described god is all powerful.

must have known?? You funny....This is fallacy of hasty conclusion....their is no evidence for this claim...its not even a plausible conclusion.

Anyways...What the devil knew as u claim or thought doesn't matter....... Pride as recorded likely made him thought he could deafet his boss ....this i feel is the plausible explanation for his move as the bible records that he was perfect before he allowed pride take him over to think he would ascend the throne of God

Whyai:
3. According to Isiah 14:12-15. He really thought they had a chance to usurp the dominion of heaven. The devil didnt do it just to spite the authority of the God for the sakė of free will. There is an under tone of "see - finish". The worst is he communicated this to others and helped them see reason.

Like I said.....What he thought doesn't matter in this context because he was wrong.....isnt it clearly evident from his defeat.??...he couldn't even defeat the remaining co angels

Whyai:
4. If a book is supposedly divine and a message from a God, it should be taken seriously and also be able to address critical assessment in a way that is not self-contradictory like an ordinary book.

The bible is a merged account of different people who encountered God in different ways ......it's was merged for collective reference ....it ddnt really need to be merged if u ask me......in those days ...the books were stored in scrolls separately

Until u encounter God urself like those whose accounts were recorded.....all u have is religion or bandwagon followership... Bible or no bible

Whyai:
My question is, would the devil have fought if he didn't think that he had a chance?

Proud pple always have an inflated sense of self .....so yeah....like adolf hitler, the devil can try thinking he can win when he actually cant..

Whyai:
God cannot certainly be such a weakling as described.

weakling?? not sure what your context is here.....because one creation decides to rebel makes God a weakling?? How? We humans on earth here rebel all the time...u are making it sound like a bigger deal what the devil did.......creations have free will right? ....

Whyai:
How does an omniscient god of all galaxies and universes be so clueless about the blatant coup attempt on his own yard?

It's is my opinion that God omniscient capacity doesnt mean he knows his creation's final decision...why did i say this? I mean, You cannot give total free will (the ability to do whatever you want) to each creation and also have the right to know the creations final decision on a matter....that's wont be free will

My opinion is what God sees or knows in his omniscient capacity is all the possible outcomes / decisions you can make concerning an issue.... E.g...if are lusting after a woman... There are many possible outcomes from that lust...assuming its 4...
1.you approach the lady & sleep with her
2..you rápe her...
3..you ignore your lust and move on
4. You kill her because u angry u can't get her....

God sees and knows all these 4 outcomes even before you choose but what u will do eventually is totally up to you alone because that's what free will truly means...

Which is why I also believe it was said about Abraham "now I know you truly fear me" (Gen. 22:12).

Whyai:
The second question is if there's no other Option of faith on EARTH besides Christianity, would you rather face God as a person still in search of truth or would you face God as a person who believes a book that suggests His dominion could be usurped by His creations if they try hard enough?

Anyone who believes God only because of what he reads in the Bible or becos of what some pastor said is just doing religion or bandwagon followership
There were no books or Bible written about God thousands of years ago.....yet people somehow encountered God..like abraham, isaac, moses, etc.. . And that little aspect of God they encountered (referred to as conviction) is usually enough to carry them for one life time

But u guys know of the rain holidays of these period.....make una dey prepare before hand

Tsarbomba:
Is lifelong marriage realistic or desirable, or should we rethink the concept of 'till death do us a part'?

This is 2024, nothing like death do us part, cos people are divorcing everyday, committing adultery, sleeping with their numerous exes and committing paternity fraud, eating their cake and still keeping it....

The idea of death do us part has long been dumped both consciously and unconsciously as morality standards keeps dropping daily

......people just recite marriage vows for formality sake...
