Dangote is not running an oligopoly...especially as there are two other companies.




So why is BUA operating freely...and Lafarge too?

Your problem is that you want cememt at a cheap price, not Dangote.

Tayeni:
Why would you "open up" the sector for importation? Nigerians want jobs and at the same time don't want a protected economy from external assault. Pick a fight and stick to it.

Tayeni:
Lol. Mr Scientist. You have no superior knowledge on this unless you can prove that those figures you pulled out of you @ss is verifiable and true. And only if you can prove that you are an electrical engineer.

If it were cheaper, developed economies would run their industries on in-house power plants.

While being deliberately obtuse, you can also
say tricycles are ccheaper than rails in transporting cement. Can't stop laffing.

Kay1212:
Finally, at least, we have a very few smart Nigerians with objective analysis.


It saddens my heart that, despite the great number of intelligent people the world knows Nigeria has, most Nigerians choose to be oppressed by the political class (oppressors). They exchange their future for peanuts. They even defend them with passion and their last blood. This is interestingly and pathetically insane.


Imagine that the political class is aware that the people they are governing are smart, intelligent people who think, act and demand to be governed intelligently, wouldn't they govern right?

COMPAQ:
What is not open about it? Is anybody stopping Lafarge or Bua from establishing new plants? Which company wouldn't like to make more money?

Tayeni:
Why do you people conflate building your own infrastructure with backward integration? Generating own power is a disadvantage. Building a power plant with the funds you are supposed to use for something else will increase the cost of your products. Same with building motor ways, Same with buying or assembly fleet of trucks when you should be using rails. Think about this carefully.

Neutralobserver:
So, with Dangote competing against two other cement companies, how is it not an open field...?

Cememnt manufactring is capital intensive. Not everyone has the cash to go into it.

owobokiri:
Generates his own electricity from what?

Topmaike007:
that baffles me alot on how imported Portland cement are cheaper than what Dangote and his fellow cult groups are giving us in Nigeria

COMPAQ:
So if its that straightforward, why don't lafarge reduce their own prices to create more demand for their own cement. After all economics 101 says with reduced price comes increased demand.

koning:
Are you all eating through your noses?!. What kind dumbazz analysis am i reading here in the comment section.

That ex-factory price of N2,510 is the major problem.

Does Dangote expect me to carry 100 bags of cement on my head to the construction site......ALL BY MYSELF?!


The ex-factory price should not exceed N1,500. By the time it gets to the retailers, it would sell for around N2,100. Just loaders charge about N50 per bag.

If Dangote really wants to help Nigerians, that ex-factory price should not be more than N1,500

dionma:
Dangote is trying to play a first one here. When you charge transport of 300-500. Add that to the ex factory cost and you can see that the price will be close to N3000 ex factory. Who bears the brunt, the final consumer.

Glycosunde:

This man is obviously lying. Factory price can't be #2,500 because no retailer will add #1,500 to it and sell at #4,000. The factory price should be between#3,000- #3,300 which is too expensive. Most of what he so facing in Nigeria is also there in other countries that his companies are so why is Nigeria own different when he is even enjoying more in Nigeria and Nigeria have more than twice of the population of other countries


Sighs.......... Drops pen

Topmaike007:
raw material? Is he importing them? Abeg spare me that trash, people that need to say this things are people like Innosson who import his Chinese vehicles and assemble in Nigeria.

uvie66:
Oga you no Econs 101, why will government interfere in a free market economy to regulate prices. The forces of demand and supply have taken effect.

Tayeni:
Lol. " Financial base?". What I understand from what you wrote is that, stock market investors should bear the brunt by watching the value and returns from their stock suffer.

That apart. You will experience every bit of every bump in a risky and volatile economy my friend.
policy somersaults, Business killing policies, No infrastructure (you have to build yours from scratch) etc will make any business man negotiate those twists and turns like a formula one driver.

luvinhubby:
Considering how wide cement dealership is and the large number of competitors along the retail chain, nothing will increase the price by N1,500 if not that the factory price is hovering between N3,000 - N3,500.

Currently doing a project, the factory price for Dangote cement is currently N3,300 and you must buy through an accredited distributor and get delivered at an extra cost to your site.

Tayeni:
You don't even need to compare cement prices of different brands to know that these things are driven by inflation. Just take other building components(roofing sheets, nails, wood) and compare the trajectory of those prices with that of cement over the past 4 years.

harjay1986:
Sir I know your frustration, but limestone, alone will not make a cement and beside many people,always shout dangote am not saying the man is right in everything but he is a human too

most of ingredients needed for making cement have to coming from other country

nobody talk about BOA cement .. ELEPHANT anD LARFAGE cement comparing their price to dangote the cement factory is not monopolize to some extent i just depend on the size of market you have

why do you think many one man business always fail because if the thing hit you and you dont have supportive plan naa to comit succide

Let ask whats the price for other brand of cement so that it will not be only Dangote we go dey bash

owobokiri:
Don't have the interest to go back and forth with a "monument to mischief" like you...
Cement prices in Nigeria is a very topical issue which a whole lot of families are grappling with. This is a country where individuals more else carter for their housing needs. You can play to the gallery, but facts are facts. And facts are that Dangote was caught selling cement in other African countries with logistical challenges worse than Nigerias.., half the cost he sells in Nigeria! That's where the rub is. You can't spin that one..., hard as you try. I told you that cement was sold in this country for almost 5k! I stand by that because I know when it sold around 4.5k in certain areas in the east. You can now keep entertaining yourself on this thread for stipends, it doesn't change the fact that Dangote your paymaster has the Nigerian economy on a chokehold and must be stopped!

MISSCONGENIALITY:
That's why we only know what we can know. There's alot of knowledge in this life. We only know the one we know.

MISSCONGENIALITY:
You mean like replacing the human rational human soul with an irrational animal soul so they can manipulate them like a man giving command to his dog?

MISSCONGENIALITY:
That's really scary.
