annass227:
If someone have found a means to place the order, please share.

Noted boss. Thanks for my beans

shariff84:
Benue farmers are really trying and their soil is too good.for yam, vegetables and orange they are ahead.but for grains some state may be cheaper than them. One advantage that Niger state has is the biggest size in landmarks. You can travel for 5 hours within the State.

Wow, this is serious oo

Ebowo:
Forget dt big name "food basket of the nation"...Abuja ppl even get cheaper food stuff than Makurdi ppl... except maybe fruits in season...

Sorry to interrupt you, I thought food is far cheaper in makurdi

Ebowo:
I need bag of cassava n bag of dried corn for swallow, u know na, dt white corn dt is smaller n round somehow

DropsMic:

You can’t travel through Lokoja now, today is Lokoja international market day, saw terrible traffic, trailers are in a very long que stretching more than 15 km don’t try it now

kripen:
Please, me I want to know if lokoja is free to pass now due to the flood?

Good write up Op, I believe 100% in what you wrote up there, I usually remember in the past years there use to be some commissioners who use to represent the Kogi state government in the board of dangote, all of a sudden that just disappeared and no body was asking questions. No sane sitting Governor of kogi state will not be truly interested in the kind of revenue coming in to dangote . I think the right questions are being asked now

I think you are dumb
Even nairaland got some information regarding the repayment of some of the loans dangote took while building the company from scratch
https://www.nairaland.com/384660/dangote-liquidates-1.27bn-loans-10
I personally executed some project for some Indians while the project was on then

Aromeh360:
Lol, what do you know about kogi state, obajana was started n completed by audu, before it was acquired by Dangote.

If not your mumu, why'll you ask dangote website when obajana cement was opened

You don’t know what you are talking about
Google is your friend, see the tenure of abubakar Audu and see when the company was completed

Moymoy:
Audu built and completed Obajana before inviting Dangote.
Stop this revision of history. Not all of us on nairaland are students.

Ee

The place was never built with Kogi state fund, all funds use for the building of the place came from a syndication of so many of Nigerian banks and world bank , so many billions of $$. The only issue I have with the setup is that Audu government conceived the idea and invited dangote, what transpired between them was never in the public domain and I believe also that the then house of assembly too were not carried along. Audu is dead now , we would have heard from him what transpired between him and dangote. It was rumoured that only paltry sum of 3% of the total company structure is what dangote allocated to Kogi government

Moymoy:
The company was built with Kogi State funds. The then governor, Abubakar Audu, made the decision to bring Dangote through the back door so that he could be a permanent landlord. Death came unexpectedly to truncate the return of Audu to government house and it's only right for Yahaya Bello to insist that the terms and conditions of the transfer of Obajana to Dangote be made public.

This must be some sort of joke, I know there was lots of irregularities in the acquisition by dangote group. I could remember the funfair and celebrations when Audu as the Governor of the state brought loads of cement branded Kogi cement which was done for him by dangote cement. The fame and glory enjoyed by the Audu administration then has put the whole arrangement between Audu and dangote into serious scrutiny. This must be a great lessons for all who are in power to do the right thing, though I strongly believed that as at the time the project was conceived the Kogi state government does not have the financial war chest to finance such a great project .No sane Governor will not take time to study the survey analysis of the limestone deposits in that obajana / Oyoo axis, what each successive government does is look at the analysis and just dump the report .Instead of arranging qualified investors with proven track records, what our politicians do is to arrange with shady contractors who are not qualified in the first place, and all they do is to take kick back as bribes from this contractors and the projects goes into white elephant mode.

This issue was once discussed here on nairaland, it’s a complex one Audu Abubakar started the company after necessary survey showed large deposit of limestone with a $78million loan from a European bank, all Audu did then was to rebag several loads of trailers of cement which was done for him by dangote company, I could remember that the venue was the Lokoja mini stadium . Rumours here and there said Audu pocket the 78 million $ he took because he realised the complex nature of building the company from scratch, a deal was sealed between Audu and dangote leaving Kogi state government with a paltry 3% ownership. The then house of assembly members under Audu should be held responsible, On the issue of tax evasion, I am aware that the local government under whose jurisdiction the cement company is collecting #1000 daily from every trailers that is loading cement daily, which is Lokoja local government, which Yahaya bello government has since collected from the local government which his government has been taking #1000 per trailer, some say yahaya bello increase it to 1500 now. It’s a complex issue because the government eye has opened to the kind of mad revenues dangote is making on a daily basis, one need to pass through the company and see the number of trailers loading cement on a daily basis

codemaniacs:
okay... but if it was state owned then the same house members would have been the ones to approve the sale... so why are pretending to be ignorant of a deal they participated in...

There is something missing in the report which I was told by a medical doctor here in Lokoja, they were reliable informed that the patient vomited blood which is likely to be Lassa fever

Under the very eyes of Mr integrity Buhari

It’s a very serious problem, I watched a video of a company that normally charge $800 for a one way ticket to some popular destination now charging as high as $10,000 now ,yet all tickets are sold out.

Fleeing Russians maybe considered victims of the Putin regime.

Frankfurter Allgemeine: Russian fleeing mobilization could apply for asylum in Germany.

"Deserters threatened by repression receive international protection," German Interior Ministry Nancy Faeser told the newspaper, adding that granting asylum is a case-by-case decision.

Putin is a demon

GDANSK, Sept 21 (Reuters) - One-way flights out of Russia were rocketing in price and selling out fast on Wednesday after President Vladimir Putin ordered the immediate call-up of 300,000 reservists.

Putin's announcement, made in an early-morning television address, raised fears that some men of fighting age would not be allowed to leave the country.

Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said the call-up would be limited to those with experience as professional soldiers, and that students and conscripts would not be called up

The governors themselves are the end point of the leakages. They are only fooling around

this is 2022 for God sake, what kind of nonsense is this, does it mean the government is not current with the total number of output production?

Liés from the pit of hell

I think they are talking about the contributory pension scheme signed into law by the Obasanjo administration. Country hard I beg what is the essence of paying certain percentage of the money contributed by the person while still active in service when inflation is rising fast every day.

You guys can lie sha. You haven't paid the ones alive you are talking about the ones dead

General T.Y Danjuma I believe is more than 80 years, he has done his best history will ever be kind to him

Nigeria, who do you like this. And the people who are responsible for this is expecting absolute loyalty from hungry and frustrated armed police men

It may also interest you to know that the same quantity of banana during scarcity can be as high as 4K

I think most banana and plantain sold here is coming from Benin and ondo state

Good to hear that, do you reside in Benin?

incandescentena:
In Benin, you will buy all for 250naira

Useless elders, you all know the disaster called Buhari can never change, and you supported him .I remember when we were young when Buhari overthrow Shagari government all of a sudden you will see soldiers breaking into shops or warehouses to effect price control, in most cases we had to que to buy certain items then , when you get to the front you discover it’s soldiers that are auctioning or selling those items

This morning I saw this thread where someone said he bought banana for #400.
I think it is expensive, I find time on market days here in Lokoja to buy some certain things from the market. I bought this banana for #1200 on market day. Seller said 3500, after bargaining eventually paid #1200 for it . The only stress here is cut them from the bunch and I wrap with black polythene nylon and keep it in a warm place to allow for natural ripening ,I think for the groundnut it’s the same price here in Lokoja
