Say yes to protest

Malista:
By the special Grace of the Almighty God, I can beat my chest and tell you that I'll be a part of the potential nationwide protest come August 1st. I have never in my entire existence joined any protest before, but this time, I will.

The hardship in this country is terrible. It is saddening and disheartening, to say the least. Nigeria, currently isn't friendly to the poor and the havenots.
Right from age 9 when I lost my parents till date, I have never had it easy in life. At times, I feel like God hates me and doesn't want me to be financially successful in life. Everything about my life is all struggle struggle and struggle. Relatives took advantage of my predicament and showed me shege while I lived with them.
As I am right now, nothing about life shakes me anymore. I'm no longer scared of death cos I've seen a lot in this life. I don't care if the police shoots at any protester. Even if I get killed while protesting, I'll be happy to have been matyred for the salvation of Nigerians. I believe everything is an sacrifice. One must die for others to live, and if I be the one to die, then so be it. After all, what is life when you don't know where your next meal is coming from? When u don't have a family to lean on? When you're not loved and cared for?

I support u bro...all die na die.

Thiefobi1:
Go and protest in your region.

Visitors should stop disturbing the peace and progress of S.W.

Anyone caught will be made to pay for his actions and also face the consequence.

Lol visitors...u are clearly an illiterate.A Nigerian cannot be a visitor in any Nigerian state n yes i wont protest becos i am eating well as d economy of nigeria is not tied to my income.however,i do not support d masses to protest if they are hungry instead of dying of hunger.

CyrusVI:


The Protest isnt even the issue but it sounds like there is an ulterior motive behind it

Seen countless Twitter spaces where some people were spitting venom and threatening to walk through fire like Shadrack

If thats the case, then Is support the military in this, cause the Army stays back and we continue to retaliate every hit, na that Anarchy go later happen

God bless the NA

No army in d world ever fought it civilian population n survived.D army knows this.everyone is scared abt dprotest becos they dont want it to degenerate into change of government.

D way this bastarda pretend like nothing is happening in Nigeria surprises me.How can this bastard claim he dont know wat nigerians want.Nigerians are dying of starvation...watis there to understand.

chopnaira:
Tell that to Peter obi that deported Ebonyi and Akwa Ibom people.

He also ensures that non Anambrans were not able to contest for any elective position in Anambra state. Not even market elective positions.

You can see that Peter Obi is a tribal bigot too or whatever you wanna call it.

Spatialking. Note the Non-Indigenes in the report below 👇

I am not talking abt peter Obi...i am talking abt common sense right n wrong.

SpatialKing:
How do you accommodate citizens of Nigeria in their own country...

How do you call Nigerians visitors in their own country

If you don't want Nigerians in Lagos form your own country

This statement baffles me everytime.Only in Nigeria will a state claim to accommodate a full blooded Nigerian citizen.tribalism can make one loose common sense

They are so afraid of d north....tails between leg

Antitankweapon:
Enough of pampering Dangote by successive govts. Enough please. He has become an entitled spoilt child always running to FG. He is NOT the only industrialist in Nigeria. Enough of pampering Dangote please. See examples.

A) Innoson competes with car importers
B) ProForce competes with imported MRAPS
B) Air Peace competes with foreign airlines
C) Transcorp competes with foreign owned
E) Banks compete with foreign banks
F) FMCG companies compete with importers

Dangote is not the only industrialist in Naija.

Every business should compete. Sometimes, imports might be cheaper for consumers. Dangote cement and sugar are more expensive than imported ones.

Dangote used a BAN on cement and sugar to destroy other Nigerian companies. Ibeto cement and Nigercem were destroyed by Dangote, thousands of jobs lost and cement price skyrocketed. Thanks to OBJ & Buhari.

Also, Dangote's persistent war with BUA is a pointer to the RISKS of granting his wishes.

As Dangote's refinery is home based, he has lots of advantages over importers. He should be able to offer cheaper quality fuel and win the market. Why is he looking for a BAN to destroy other companies that have supplied fuel before his refinery.

U are a fool.wen did dangote ever demand a ban to imported products.every idiot will jst type nonsense

TopNotchTrends:
Amidst the saga regarding the refineries, business man Alico has during a press conference stated that imported substandard fuel is damaging fuel in the country.

He said this as a response to why he his lowering the price of diesel which he currently produces (some hinting that is a substandard).

He said most senators are already experiencing that damaged that this substandard products are causing Nigerian, a problem his refinery will provide solution to.

I drive a benz n it pains me each time i buy fuel at filling stations as wat i get is low standard petrol.Benz n other luxury cars like Ferrari requires at leat octane rating of 91 while Nigeria is importing below 75...a fuel that is rejected in europe n UsA.This is exactly d reason why na only toyota n Honda get second hand value.Toyota n Honda were built to accept low quality petrol as their target was mainly 3rd world countries.

Chinkoalhaji34:
Na wa o! Why would they do that? Instead of maximizing Dangote's refinery to boost local economy, dem dey carry our crude go far. This na serious mismanagement! Hope say una sabi say we fit do better than this?

They do that becos they want money for their own pockets.they dont want Nigeria to stop importing products as its a means to steal money

Its possible if u were so intelligent at primary n secondary that u got a double promotion

Poor people in nigeria are always interested in d fall of d wealthy out of envy.

Racoon:
 Chai! So you knew all of these yet never report them to the DSS, NPF, NFIU, EFCC, ICPC, or military for economic sabotage? Suddenly, the table turned and you are displaced from the power equation, then you started bleating like a female goat on heat. See the entrenched structure of corruption you all are intricately interwoven into?

Dangote these lamentations is too late. You benefitted from the defective and skewed Nigeria your brothers in the military and autocratic regimes bequeathed upon others. Meanwhile, remember that foreign investors are listening and making their decisions. So abeg stop these lamentations.

Oga i hav known this for years... did i report?

OkCornel:
I don’t get this narrative of monopoly everyone is running with.

From 1999-2024 the Federal government has spent more than twice as much the amount Dangote used in building his refinery as maintenance (turn around maintenance) on the government owned refineries. Why aren’t these refineries working today?

And the federal government is now talking of monopoly?

Truly we are lazy people that won't put im d work bt get mad wen another succeeds.Did he stop government frm building refinery?

Typical nigerian youth smh

LegendHero:
The Nigeria COVID-19 Action Recovery and EconomieStimulus(NG-CARES) Programme now renamed Nigeria Community Action for Resilience and Economic Stimulus (NG-CARES) is a World Bank-supported intervention with a credit portfolio of 750 million US Dollars. The Programme Development Objective is "To expand access to livelihood support and food security services and grants for poor and vulnerable households and firms.

NG-CARES is a Programme for Results (PforR) Intervention where States
and FCT invest theirresources, produceresultsinlinewith agreed protocols and get reimbursed by the Federal Government after an Independent Verification Exercise.

The Federal Government has reimbursed 34 States and FCT the sum of Four Hundred and Thirty-Eight Billion, Three Hundred and Sixty-Eight Million, Nine Hundred and Fifteen Thousand, Thirty Naira and Twenty-Four Kobo (N438,368,915,030.24) after the Third Independent Verification Assessment.

Let me use this opportunity to commend Mr. President for the various reforms introduced by his Administration which have enabled States and FCT to invest massively in NG-CARE thereby producing this outstanding result.

Also, worthy of commendation are the State Governors and Honourable Minister, FCT for their commitment to investing in and building resilience among poor and vulnerable Nigerians using the NG-CARES Programme.

NG-CARES is one of the social Protection Programme implemented in the tents of the “Renewed Hope Agenda” of Mr. President and a cornerstone economic resilience and sustainability among the poor and vulnerable in underserved communities in Nigeria.

Why is kaduna not there

Kobojunkiee:
You are very much mistaken here! I am not the least bit worried about Dangote or his business. To be honest, I don't care about him, and very many lamentations. What I am simply trying to point out here is that no natter what happens here, Nigerians gain nothing. 🤔

2. You claim that Air Peace crashed the price of air tickets, but a majority of Nigerians — the market that Air Peace needs to stay in business —cannot afford to fly. So, did Air Peace crash the price or simply realize it needed to reduce the cost of flying if it is to stay in business even beyond the economic situation in Nigeria? I once believed in the idea of business not being focused on profit until I realized it was all bullsheet. Every company needs profits to survive.🤔

3. Nah! 🤔

First u need to understand that not everybody in his lifetime is going to fly .this is applicable around d world be it us or uk or europe.flying is for middle class not d poor.not everyone will ever be able to purchase a flight ticket .
Nigerians gain alot if dangote refinery produces pms ... So does dangote refinery.
Dangote cannot sell higher than current market or else importation will continue.
Furthermore,govt can also force him to adjust price of product as its a sensitive national issue.Bt wen he doesn't produce nothing nigeria continue to be bleeped by d oil n gas cabal that wants us to be a petrol import country for d rest of our lifetime even though we are a major crude oil production power in d world.

Chinkoalhaji34:
Finally! The game just got interesting. Tinubu's move is like a breath of fresh air, shaking things up. No more one-man show, let the competition begin! It's about time we see some balance in the market. Let’s go, Nigeria!

U are very ignorant.i am an oil and gas expert wit an msc in oil an gas management.Say monopoly or not.there is no one in nigeria that will ever build d size of refinery dangote did.Reason being refineries around d world are build close to source of crude.Dangote trying to import west texas index crude fro uSa will never giv d nigerian market cheap products except if his source is Nigeria or west africa.That being said,dont forget d refinery was built after agreement that its source of crude will be Nigeria.plus for over 30 years we hav been importing rejected quality pms around d world bt dangote now already promised 2 diff fuel grades of 85 octane n 91 octane for premium vehicles.U really hav no clue do u?

Kobojunkiee:
I don't see Dangote as an advantage or a disadvantage given that the man is in business for his pocket and that of his shareholders. Nigerians and the Nigerian people are customers and will not get any preferential treatment in any of this.

Even if he colonizes the entire market, it will all still be for his pocket and his shareholders. Government does not regulate the price, rather what it does is subsidize it where it deems it as a severe disadvantage to the people. For example, you pay Naira 750 today for fuel because the government subsidizes the cost, not because the fuel is that cheap. The real cost of the same product, before subsidy, could very well be about Naira 1400 per liter. So? 🤔

M glad u know d real price is abt 1400.why do u seem worried if dangote is in d business for u or not?Air peace crashed ticket orice to London...does that mean air peace is not profit oriented?at d end who gained?was it not nigerians?
Same wit petrol,there is a cabal that want product import to continue forever...notw here is a cheaper alternative.Nigerians gain n he also gains.wats d bad thing abt that.

Why stop wat gives joy n helps endure tinubu govt

Kobojunkiee:
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Dangote is a businessman and not Father Christmas. He is in this to make money and the way to make that money is to sell at the price that is of best advantage to him and his shareholders, not the Nigerian people. So, your dream of cheaper fuel courtesy of Dangote, is just that, a pipe dream. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

U dnt understand wat m saying.Petrol is sold for 750 in places like kaduna.if dangote wants to kii competition n supply over 80% of d petrol in d country...his price at d pump needs to go lower than NNPC 615 ...meaning d most dangote will go to be profitable is 550 or something if hes too greedy.whether u like it or not dangote refinery is more of an advantage than disadvantage.plus his product has more quality than d garbage we hav been getting for years.i am an oil n gas expert wit over 12 years experience in d industry

helinues:
Toh

Those company that left Nigeria, it was because things that have been favouring them in the past are no longer favouring them now due to the new government policies

Had Dangote being a foreign investor, he would have also moved. We didn't hear peem when it was favouring him

No time for gbere, those tax evasion would no longer be tolerated

Wat tax evasion are u talking abt?one thing i hav noticed is that a poor in naija always assume all rich men are responsible for their poverty even wen d rich man has never been involved in governance

Kobojunkiee:
Who assured you of this cheap petrol? What guarantee was handed you by any of the involved parties of this pipe dream?

If d petrol coming frm dangote refinery is not cheaper than d imported one then again there will be more competition frm import.He has never requested govt to ban importation of products....d only way he can survive is to give us cheaper fuel that d cost of importation
