This is business oh. This is you undercutting local producers.

Let's say you and others have cement factory, will you as a person and the cement industry be happy for the import of cement into the country?

This year we saw how farmers in Europe protested against the import of Ukraine's farm produce into their countries .They protested because it will undercut their own produce.

What Dangote said is very very correct. NNPC importing in large volumes will undercut him and other local refineries. NNPC are still the sole importer of refined petroleum products into the country.
Everything u have written here is just sentiment and nothing else.

Have the importers been existing before the advent of Dangote refinery? Yes!

Did FG/NNPC enter into any agreement with Dangote that they(NNPC) will cut off importers as soon as Dangote refinery come up? I don't know; I'm sure you don't know this as well.

So far there is no contract or agreement binding NNPC to Dangote and vice versa, make each party do what works for them.

This is not just about Dangote bro, we have seen foreign Company's leaving the Country recently. Govt should find a solution to this matter, so as not to discourage intending investors. That is my own position on this matter....
You are conflating different issues together.

Those companies leaving the country are citing foreign exchange losses, high interest rate , etc as their reasons which we have dragged FG for.

But Dangote is moaning about being asked to compete with importers. They are two different things.

A solid point is made on energy security, but I wonder if Nigeria's energy needs would be priority if for any reason he's getting better prices for his crude oil products outside Nigeria.
Herein lies ur answer . Dangote is doing everything he's doing for profit motive.

If tomorrow he gets crude for a better price from let's say Iran, do u think he will buy from Nigeria? Especially if he didn't sign any agreement with NNPC that he's under compulsion to buy from them.

If u remember immediately the refinery was commissioned by Buhari we started hearing stuff like " The Dangote refinery will not necessarily make fuel cheaper". Whereas all through the construction period we were under the impression that the refinery will solve all our energy crises in this country. We were seeing it as a joint venture between the FG and Dangote to end our oil and gas problem. It was then Dangote came out and started singing a different tune.

I don't pity him one bit because he was part of the con job done on us for so long

otedola is one of the last people that should be talking.

man's fortune is 101% govt patronage

he used objs influence to chance everyone else

this actually ties with what blueraydick said - na when e no favor them dem go find mouth dey talk
Dangote , his friend Otedola and Adeshina have got Treblechamp where they want him to be .

In one breath they claim this whole issue is not about Dangote wanting to enjoy monopoly and in another breath they are saying “ Dangote cannot be asked to compete with importers “….smh . Just look at the screenshot from the Otedola’s tweet.

Why can’t Dangote compete with importers ? What makes him special ? I thought it is a free market . Dangote is free to source crude from anywhere in the world and he’s also free to export refined product to any country in the world .

So why does he want the FG to ban importers from importing products that will compete with his own refined product in Nigeria ? Did he sign any agreement with NNPC that gives him such privilege ?

I mean this is the same Dangote that has continually maintained that siting of Dangote refinery in Nigeria doesn’t necessarily mean we will be buying cheap fuel . This is the same Dangote that set up a London trading office just for the purpose of managing crude and fuel deals for his refinery all over the world .

The point I am making is that normally once northerners are involved in rofo rofo, they will solve it internally. I witnessed an issue like that at a lower level. A contractor who should have been sacked and who was out of control. They resolved by meeting in oga at the tops place. I had worked with 'special' vendors but everyone still dey stay in their lane and try to respect process small. I am likely prejudiced but I have witnessed a sad decline I will probably discuss some day

Have you seen this

I've seen it. Dangote and the people he's snitching on are birds of the same feather jare. I'm less concerned about his current ordeal, he's been in bed with these people for so long. He's only coming out now because this government is not "favoring him and his family " ni

Anyone who has worked in a professional capacity in a structured corporate environment will have issues with nnpc. Nnpc is not run like a business. It is a collection of different scams where highly placed people make money off of artificially generated problems

You want an idea of how bad it must be - these are all northerners who normally band together.
Nothing to see here. NNPC is just a typical government owned agency/parastatal/corporation. Forget about the NNPC Limited they call it now, it is still a federal government run establishment where the leadership is occupied by political office holders. The current chairman of board of NNPC Pius Akinyelure is Tinubu's padi who was former APC vice chairman. The man himself is a seasoned oil and gas expert.

I don't think whatever goes on in NNPC is about being Northerners or something along that line. Different ethnic groups work within NNPC and I believe every group is carried along in whatever scam is being run within that space

[color=royalblue]Errrmmm, as much as i understand you, he was not speaking for only himself.

BUA and any other local refinery would benefit from this too.

Unless the Monopolists now have an association[/color]
Just dey play.

How many refineries were near completion as at 2021 when he made that request ? He was requesting a monopoly as at that time.

A monopoly which he intends to transcend to oligopoly when other refineries come on board; but before then he would've gained market leadership and have the rest of the market follow.

If u can read between the lines, u will see Dangote knows what he's doing. At this point, he's only using the people's dislike for the government to his advantage by whipping up sentiment.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by BlueRayDick: 5:15am On Jul 22, 2024
Dangote has said the monopoly tag is unfair…. Yen yen yen….😏

This is a 2021 thread on Nairaland which reported the news of Dangote group seeking a sort of importation license monopoly

https://www.nairaland.com/6437570/dangote-wants-only-refinery-license

How can somebody be denying what his chief strategy officer demanded for 3 years ago ?

No 3 has been answered already.

We taught we had 20% stake but Nigeria happened and we realised that 12.5% of the borrowed money went to the dreaded bottomless pit...
Do you know there are other companies FG holds shares in this country and such companies don’t ask FG for monopoly ?

The companies just do their business , when they make gain they pay FG dividends like they do other shareholders and everybody smiles to the bank ?

So why is Dangote asking for monopoly for his own business?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by BlueRayDick: 10:19pm On Jul 21, 2024
Some of the questions we should be asking are :

1. Was there an agreement/contract between FG/NNPC and Dangote Refinery that crude feedstock will be made available to Dangote at a price that will be favorable to him by IOC’s?

2. Was there an agreement between FG/NNPC and Dangote refinery that importation of refined petroleum products will be banned as soon as Dangote refinery starts rolling out products ?

3. Is the Dangote refinery a private business or a Joint venture between FG and Dangote group ; Just like oil exploration is a joint venture between FG and some IOC’s ?

Dangote is not selling shit.
You Dey mind them ?

Dangote that most likely still has a lot of financial obligations to the principal lenders for the refinery . A financial obligation he’s willing to see through before the refinery is finally his own.

A lot of people don’t even know how these things work. Maybe they think Dangote had $19 billion somewhere which he used to finance the refinery sef . 😂

Yes the refinery is valued at $19 billion but definitely the refinery was funded by a consortium of lenders whom Dangote will pay back in due time as per the facility arrangement . All those projects are debt finance .

If someone offers to pay Dangote off , he obviously wouldn’t sell sef cos he knows in the long run he will be the loser while whoever buys the debt will be the winner.

Make dem Dey dere make Dangote Dey play ping pong with their emotions

I already read the news before saying it’s clickbait .

If u read the news and u sincerely Dangote is willing to sell his refinery , then I don’t know what to tell u.

The guy is just playing on y’all emotions and as it stands , it appears he’s been very successful while at it.

Are you sure the Indians and Chinese are not loud too?

Remember that your SM won't show you Chinese or Pakistani videos. The algorithms will only pick English related ones.

I’m not forming my opinion from not seeing Indians or Pakistani’s videos online , I’m actually forming my opinion from first hand information from people abroad whom I’ve discussed with .

I also form my opinion from Indians, Lebanese and other Asians in this country .

Nigerians are unusually too loud .

Most people who claim asylum abroad usually formulate lies like “ I am gay and my life is in danger in Nigeria due to anti LGBTQ laws in Nigeria”, “ My life is in danger due to ethnic cleansing/jihadists/terrorism in Nigeria “ , etc.

When such person successfully convince them abroad and gets the asylum , in my opinion it makes no sense for that person to be making videos about such stuff like u gamed the system and u want others to know about it. Who does that ?

I still discussed this with somebody yesterday night.

Nigerians need to learn to know how to eat and not talk while eating . When u eat and talk , there are a whole lot of things that can happen to u. U can choke, the food might drop from ur mouth and even u can attract those that will take away the food from u.

No be only Nigerians Dey japa; Indians, Pakistanis and even Chinese Dey japa well well. Most of them Dey exploit some of these immigration systems in the west and they don’t make annoying videos about it like this one . I don’t know why we can’t resist the urge to put our business online.
