Same thing David Hundeyin stated.

Keep laughing like a clown

You turned to a clown because you have nothing to make a rebuttal.

Always shouting competition as if you are that capable, there's no single successful Igbo business man outside Nigeria, in fact the only one that seem to be successful was nabbed by US for fraud recently, the CEO of tango or whatever was his name, i'm sure he would have gotten away with it like Allen Onyeama if it was in Nigeria, so where's the shout for equal playing field coming from as if you can run a successful business without illegality, drug trafficking and fraud that your kinsmen thrive in ?

The richest African immigrant in UK and US are both Yoruba men, UK and US government must be marginalizing Igbo too to help Yoruba.

You are just not capable, instead of accepting your weaknesses so your generation can be better. You start chest beating and start claiming illusional superiority.

kettykin:
Thank You for bringing this pic. Igbos should immortalize this man by naming a major road after him , igbo scholars should dig his history and write a tribute , nollywood should come up with a movie about him and stop all the rubbish hedonistic, fetish movies

RuggedBiafran:
Biafra was and is still formidable. This i know, this i have seen, this i am witnessing now.

Biafra will still emerge as a great and prosperous nation. These facts are sacroscant.

adamusuleiman2:
4000, why not add one more zero at the back lol.

At best it will kill a company of soldiers. A company has anywhere from a few dozen to 200 soldiers.

A weapon that could kill 4,000 soliders at once in Africa in the 1960 would have won that African country or rebel an African war.

Ttalk:
You will make money if you are a hypeman. Look at the way you dey run mouth like tap water. Who asked you your biography that you started blabbing like phyno?
Noting wey Musa no go see for gate

Emmanuel900:
You are the Onukwu here.

According to you delusional thing every Igbo business men is a saint while those from other tribe are corrupt lol, your generation that can't even set up a legal business outside Nigeria. Name a successful Igbo business man outside Nigeria, your generation are the one benefitting most from the corrupt system.


Even before the refinery was built your jealous and hateful generations have been attacking Dangote for being the richest man in Africa, you just hate him because he's not an Igbo man. Always wailing as if Dangote is the one collecting your monthly allocation in your respective states.

If not for federal government and government agencies patronage Innoson would have been out of business a long time ago.

You have a few guy in Oil business like Authur eze and co, what's stopping them from building a small refinery and buying Nigeria crude ? Wail forever your generation won't get a single rated dollar billionaire, you will forever be jealous of Dangote.

You are just ignorant and naive, even God didn't create everyone equally. Some are more talented, luckier and intelligent than others, so what are you going to do ? blame God lol.

There is no business man on earth that is not benefitting from Government including in USA, China and even Russia.

If not for US government support Elon Musk wouldn't be the richest man on earth today.

Politics and getting government support for your business is also part of the game, blame your generation for not being able to compete. Always wailing and crying victims.

If your people can compete so much why don't you have several dollar billionaires in USA and UK instead of getting nab for fraud and drug trafficking across the world ?

aguluobi:
Of course Dangote is the only problem facing Nigeria since 1960

Emmanuel900:
Look at them hating on Dangote lol

Don't listen to all the hogwash they are parroting they just hate that he is not an Igbo man.

If Dangote was an Igbo man any criticism on him would be term jealousy of Igbo man success.

blacknp:
President Obasanjo on the eve of his exiting power sold refinery to Otedola & Dangote this same Hypocrites shouted we no gree, Yar’adua took the refinery back, he went & built his own, this same Hypocrites are now crying that he owes them?

msallison, Bigkoko The Kigali Wailer himself, you can keep on wailing, nonsensical poor minded things.

Resurrection212:
Mumu who will call him ipob did he say anything wrong or who do not know that dangote is a capitalist . And for your information op ordinary citizens can't do anything on this matter only federal government can stop him from import oil from USA. And Dangote aims is to destabilize the current price of oil so he can
use imported story to justify why new hike on petroleum. I know the government will not be so foolish allow him imported oil

swaggerjack:
Eventually a choice would have to be made between saving the Dangote refinery or Nigeria collapsing through the effect on the pressure of the naira as he competes with businesses for the limited dollars in circulation. The naira would soon become like Zimbabwe currency.

And the more the naira crashes the more the demand for dollars, pounds and euros increases as our fantastically corrupt politicians at local, state and federal level will change their loot in naira to foreign currencies to preserve their illicit wealth.

The direction Nigeria is heading is very dangerous.

Lastmessenger2:
They will soon call you wailer and ipob

MsAllison:
you're right but sometimes I don't blame Buhari or Emefiele on this.
they did that thinking Dangote had Nigeria interest at heart not knowing that they're dealing with a ruthless and heartless business man.

mightyhazel:
Beautiful question...


Bought with her hard earn money or kpekus


The number 1 citizen is currently holidaying in far away Europe... He's definitely not doing so with the naira ..'to grow naira'...How many Toyota SUVs was allocated to govt agencies last year alone? These vehicles were paid for in naira and cowries? But paid agents like op will rather blame a Nigerian girl for wearing weavon bought with her hard earned money. Talk about chasing shadows.

If he had at least balanced his argument it would have been considerable.. he was even calling out and mocking some of his perceived opponents,using alternate monikers

predictor1:
No, I wasn't gaslighting. I didn't agree with your opinion about the civil war. I'm not an APC supporter.

predictor1:
Go and sit down. A government that can't produce and transmit adequate electricity or protect farmers and other citizens from Fulani marauders hardly qualifies to c point fingers at such citizens.

DatNiggaDaz:
The blame game has started. This time they are blaming Nigerians for the incompetence of a drug sniffing monkey Tinubu who is in france sniffing

Rostikol:
Until we START TO LOVE, PREFER, and VALUE NIGERIAN-MADE GOODS AND SERVICES over foreign-made goods and services, FORGET ABOUT THE NAIRA VALUE RISING.

Until we PREFER to buy Nigerian made shoes, slippers, handbags, cars, sandals, clothes, watches, bangles, etc INSTEAD OF foreign made, FORGET ABOUT NAIRA VALUE RISING.

We have to start to see things like the Chinese.

A China man prefers to buy made in China, even if the foreign version from London is of better quality.

Why? Because he's thinking ''why should I enrich Europeans instead of my own Chinese people?''

And so, this makes manufacturing very profitable in China! And the currency very strong! There is more demand for the Chinese yuan than for the dollar!

Why?

Because the people PREFER made in China to imported!

Without that mindset in Nigeria, FORGET ABOUT NAIRA VALUE RISING.

We cannot have a mindset that laughs at a man for wearing 'Aba-made' shoes.

That's a destructive, ignorant, anti-African mindset that will lead us into the abyss.

THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THESE WOMEN WE CALL NIGERIAN WOMEN SPEND ON SO-CALLED BRAZILIAN HAIR ALONE EACH YEAR, IS MORE THAN 2 BILLION DOLLARS.

IMAGINE IF THEY DECOLONISED THEIR MINDSET, AND FAVOURED TRADITIONAL PLAITING AND WEAVING HAIR STYLES OVER IMPORTED PERMS, WIGS, AND FAKE HAIR, ......THAT ALONE WOULD GENERATE EMPLOYMENT FOR 3 MILLION LOCAL HAIR STYLISTS MINIMUM, AND SHORE UP THE NAIRA VALUE.

When do we wise up as a people?

It's not about pointing fingers at govt officials. They make up less than 0.1% of the Nigerian population.

We over-estimate their influence and capacity to alter society.

THIS IS ON US!

Just as we started to prefer Nigerian movies and music over foreign, which made those sectors BLOW to world class proportions, we can accomplish similar by preferring NIGERIAN MADE GOODS AND SERVICES to foreign made.

When we do that, THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WILL BLOW.

Tallesty1:
Very useless lots.

Try exportation and government will ensure that you fail.
Try running a business and both federal, state and local government will tax you out of business.
Let's not even talk about venturing into production.


But the e-diots think the masses are the problem.

Rostikol:
So long as the naira value is low and people are poor, police corruption will not end.

Because it is in itself a result of poverty and low pay.

So, waiting for a flawless police force to emerge before investing in Nigeria is the wrong approach in my view.

If the great QUANTUM of Nigeria's 240 million people decide to BUY NIGERIAN, the prosperity generated will overwhelm us, to the point that police corruption would be unnecessary.

That is how powerful this concept is.

blacknp:
Even to export the raw commodities like rubber, cocoa, cassava, Indian hemp, palm oil which are all under the exclusive jurisdiction of the states of the federation on the legislative concurrent list we refuse to do, 220 million people are waiting for 1.3 million barrels of crude oil export from the Federal government to help them with foreign exchange?

Shameless people we are, let the likes of DMerciful Abia, bigkoko Kigali & Colorado Bobloco to come and explain to us the reason for our laziness?

Rostikol:
My brother, the other day I was checking out the Jamaican economy... If you see all the different things they do with cassava in that place, you will weep for this country!

From cassava chips, to cassava flakes for breakfast, to cassava soap, to cassava oil, to cassava extracts for medicinal purposes, to all sorts of things.

Well branded and packaged!

In industrial quantities!

A small island of 3 million people.

Our own is just to use cassava to soak garri and make eba.

Or sprinkle on beans. Finish!

And then be complaining about naira value.

In fact we have problems as a people.
