Stop derailing with myopic narratives
Death comes for us all
Independent of situations,
Everyday we face 1000 ways to die
Those of us alive today to read about his death will die one day soon or later.
Taking care of ones health can lengthen live a bit cos other factors still dey wait even if you gat good health

If you buy from Dangote when he starts selling, are you going to pay him in cowries ?

No its
In leaves not cowry.

Go
And ask
The diesels

Whether in cowries or your 20k media hype salary

malali:
Akinwunmi Adesina,

Your passionate defense of Dangote’s monopolistic tendencies is misplaced and ultimately detrimental to Nigeria's long-term economic health. Let’s be clear: the open free market should determine winners and losers, not subjugation or forced patronage.

Monopoly and Market Distortion

You argue that monopoly exists due to high barriers to entry or high capital costs. While this may hold some truth, it does not justify the creation or maintenance of monopolies, especially not through governmental favoritism. Dangote has benefitted immensely from the Nigerian state: free limestone, free land for cement factories, some of the cheapest non-unionized labor in the world, unlimited tax concessions, and numerous import waivers. Despite these advantages, what has been the result? The cement business remains a monopolistic cartel. Do Nigerians enjoy cheap cement today? The answer is a resounding no. Dangote was one of the first to hike cement prices, exercising his market dominance at the expense of Nigerian consumers.

Dangote Refineries and Energy Sector Monopoly

Now, you suggest we should hand over the energy sector, crucial for 300 million people, to a single man. This is both dangerous and short-sighted. Dangote’s decision to build a $19.5 billion refinery was his own business choice, and with any business venture comes inherent risks. He should have anticipated the possibility of buying crude at market rates and selling refined products in an open market. Expecting the NNPC to capitulate to his demands reeks of entitlement and undermines the very principles of fair competition and market dynamics.

Misplaced Sympathy and Entitlement

Your attempt to elicit sympathy by emphasizing Dangote’s massive investment ignores the fundamental fact that he should have considered market contingencies. Dangote should compete on equal footing with other businesses, not seek special treatment. Throwing a tantrum and trying to manipulate crude sales and petrol procurement from the NNPC signals a disturbing sense of entitlement.

Economic Independence and Fair Competition

Nigeria’s energy sector, like any other, must remain open to fair competition. Your call for protectionist measures to favor Dangote is a call to undermine the very fabric of a free market economy. The energy sector should be driven by innovation, efficiency, and competition, not by monopolistic practices.

A Call for Economic Justice

The days of allowing a few individuals to dominate critical sectors of our economy must end. We have seen what happens when monopolies are allowed to flourish – prices soar, quality suffers, and innovation stagnates. It’s time for Nigeria to embrace a truly competitive market, where every player has an equal opportunity to succeed.

Adesina, you call for support and protection of local industries, but true support lies in fostering a competitive environment where no single entity can dictate terms. We must not surrender our economic future to a few individuals. The Nigerian people deserve better – they deserve fair competition, better prices, and improved quality of goods and services.

Nigeria's economic landscape should be determined by open competition and market forces, not by entitlements and monopolistic control. It’s time for a new era of economic justice and fairness, where the interests of the many are prioritized over the privileges of the few.

Sincerely,
Malali.

Bands

When you are tagged as band A and didn't get 20hrs plus light for a week,

Then they downgrade Automatically

And if you are in band C and have over 20hrs per day for a month, then upgrade band to A.

There should be an application where bands and categories should be started including hours they get light

This
Will result to

Many

Parallel market

So
As
The
Demand for parallel dollar increase
The price goes up.

It would have been better
To divert parallel market customers to bank
Where they get dollars at official rate.
So few will patronize them

For example, with POS everywhere, we don't go to ATM or quene at banks to withdraw money.

sangresan:
Ignorance raised to the power of infinity. So, it's blood clot that causes stroke? If you're a trained medical professional, I imagine how effective your training is.

So, you don't know that he may actually be battling with complications of a disease like diabetes which could lead to multiple organ failure?

You don't need to be abusive to make a point.
You can just clarify or ask questions
To enlighten yourself
Strokes can be ischeamic or hemorrhagic etc
Have you heard of endovascular clot retrieval in early treatment of ischeamic stroke.

Besides can you confirm that you now manage
Multiple organ failure with renal transplant in your own hospital.

Eteka1:
Please what signs did you notice, that leads you to the diagnosis of stroke. I'm interested in what you are saying.

In the second to the last quote,
He remarked that his left hand and leg are not movable.
He said it was sudden as well
All these points to lateralizing signs of motor function deficit of the brain which is commonly caused by Stroke. Other differentials can also be entertained .

Kidney diseases usually presents with body swelling on both sides legs, even face or generally depending on the extent of kidney failure

Glo been

I had over 106,000 bonus

Once you have strong network

Nothing beats like glo.
No zapping of data

In my place MTN is shit, very slow and expert in zapping data

Thats
Not
Kidney
Disease

Thats
Stroke
Kidney transplant doesn't treat stroke.

Its unfortunate, stroke can be treated with very early presentation to equipped facilities where the blood clots can be retrieved or lysed.
If the brain tissue is iinfarcted, there is only miracle to gain 100% of function, physiotherapy only helps very little depending on the extent.

Regular blood pressure check and judicious use of antihypertensive can prevent all these.

Anyone falls sick
People have strokes everyday especially with this economy
Its on news for him because he is an actor.

Please don't joke with your health
Its far costly to cure than to prevent
