In your tribalistic mind, giving up less than $700k in a civil forfeiture case - an entirely non-criminal process - is worse than being convicted of defrauding hundreds of millions, and merely being the (alleged, not proven) recipient of cash someone else criminally obtained makes one not merely, at best, a money launderer, but the equivalent of Pablo Escobar! Funnier still, this supposed "Escobar" was traveling freely to the USA and receiving the American ambassador at his personal residence even as a private citizen, indicating you and your ilk are in possession of incriminating evidence unavailable to the American government. If so, why are you wasting time shouting "Escobar" up and down on this website, instead of sharing your intel with the DEA?

You guys certainly can't be faulted for lack of imagination, even if it is clearly at the cost of your grasp of reality and your sanity.


Sure, if you say so - and I am the Emperor of Mexico! As if anyone who wasn't Igbo would be interested in deflecting a story about yet another Igbo criminal - in a seemingly endless line of Igbo criminals - being nabbed in India, by dragging the name of a Yoruba fraudster into the discussion. Deny it all you like, it's clear as day what you are and why you made your ridiculous comment. It is simply a fact that no Yoruba fraudster comes even close to the most audacious Igbo swindlers.

epistle. The man is corrupt.

Starch is urhobo thing and not frying of cassava grits.

Oh!!! A great icon has left the Nigeria geosciences space to the world of form. RIP BABA! Your legacy will remain in this world especially your discovery of the rock...Bauchite which I supposed should have been named oyaweyite.

Nigerians and mumu mumu records.
Bauchite ko, Abujant kini.

How about the environmental pollution it will cause in Lagos , is lagos not too small and crowded for such a big refinery?

I read:
Oil refineries emit large amounts of air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. These pollutants can cause respiratory problems, including asthma, and increase the risk of heart disease and lung cancer etc i think lagos is too small and crowded for such a big refinery

No, it is Maiduguri..

Lagosians are not collecting deve but the place is still developing unlike the inventors of deve.

Instead they have a mafia system to milk the numbers since that's what they have.

iammo:
It's called leveraging... Dangote leverage his networth to get loan from local banks , CBN made the loan available in Dollars.. what he makes from Cement and other ventures can't execute the refinery contract fast enough

They should give SMEs same privilege too. Everyone cannot run on petrol.

Tonymegabush1:
Kudos to Dangote for a massive win on this completion

point of correction. Not a massive win but an important landmark.

Those wuruwuru expert who said only a fool will build a refinery are probably same set of morons saying subsidy must go for corruption to cease. As a physician, you don't kill your patient as a way of dealing with headache or malaria but that is what the mumus are saying in principle.

No son? That means a good amount will trapped in banks and available for FreeStuffNG's children to take as low interest loans to continue their dad's BMC legacy.

Well, if one stone is buried in the earth and always having a different temperature from another on the earth, the difference in temperature can be used to generate electricity.

Better than Oil in ND and refinery in the Kaduna, especially when it is govt owned. Dangote is a private owned refinery and can decide to locate his in Ghana.

iammo:




Twisting words of CBN Governor would do you no good

Local banks facilitated most of the loan and the forex came through CBN as the standard practice... Everyone gets their forex through CBN or Black market

Not like CBN loaned Dangote out of our National reserve


Dangote Fertilizer, Dangote Cement all this company export product and bring in forex to CBN all this while


.

what is the point submitting Dangote earned forex to CBN and then going to access forex from CBN?
Except CBN is Dangote's private bank, it makes no sense. Same way regular citizens have dollar account and keep their forex there is how Dangote has his. Something is fishy if the OP is true.

9jatriot:
The appreciation really pain una. Kai

you are entitled to whatever makes it sweet from your end but Tinubu cannot change the mind of Dangote with a free-trade zone.

if there was no lekki free trade zone the refinery wouldn't have been in place abi?
You should know when a smart business man is trying to massage the ego of power drunk and excitable president elect.

Isn't it the same Tinubu that supervised the transformation of Lagos into a disproportionately taxed extortion-trade zone again?

Oga chill.

N500 a litre or N250 a litre?

The koko that is.

You landed another bigger BMC job, gbola master?

Obstacology

Our best president ever according to ûrchins.

obailala:
If crude is sold to Dangote at a rate lower than the international market price, that's the same thing as SUBSIDY cos the government would be sacrificing revenue to make petrol cheap.

The only thing that can really make petrol cheaper now is the exchange rate. If the dollar drops down to N150, then petrol may sell for N100 or less (if govt tightens the noose on Dangote to not inflate his profits). If the dollar remains at N750, petrol prices would remain high except govt subsidizes.

sadly the govt is trying to leave the masses to suffer for a weakened Naira by removing subsidy and continuing the wasteful governance instead of taking it as a challenge and trying to strengthen the Naira.

Tunechi5:
with dangote refinery been commissioned which means importation of petrol would stop, i'm asking is there a chance for petrol to become cheaper and also would the incoming government still be paying subsidy?

no chances of that happening.

77up:
Stop asking unnecessary question , follow the post and learn.

which shrine are you operating from? Consult your mirror or have your mother do that.

I hope kwankwaso and atiku were acknowledged?

See what they see us as monkeys?

Fantastically corrupt lot hyping themselves.

SwissMass:
Nice one, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Jagaban the Eze-Chukwu-gburugburu of Igbo land have set the ball rolling already, the most valuable politician that have ever lived, dangote had to delay the opening of his refinery till about a week when emilokan of yoruba land will be inaugurated

Glory hustlers like you is why politician deliver scrap and claim good performance.

what of kwankwaso, atiku, sowore and Tinubu the godfather.

flokii:
@OP You failed at your puerile attempt to blackmail Nigerians.. the blood of those IPOB killed will forever haunt you since you've chosen to support them. At least we are not clapping for the killers in Middlebelt like you lots are doing to IPOB, UGM and whatnot in the South East.

No mention of IPOB or SE from the poster. He only mentioned middle-belt.

Hardwired to interpret opposition as IPOB. We know them but can't type ûrchîn in peace without a ban.

Fulani.

"Banned seedlings" haba na.... Why would they allow such things be sold to farmers?

who are they?

mightyhaze:
Well he try for traders wen dey get stock..made alot of Dem overnight millionaires


Na salary earners he do shege banza

he did everybody except thieves shege and banza together.

The traders patronized by civil servants and salary earners can't experience proportional increase in patronage with prices because they the money available to buy with is limited by their stagnant salary. It means priorities will be set and some manufacturers/distributors/goods will give way for more pressing needs. Go and ask peak milk or corn flakes people how it is going versus how it was.
