Unless the refinery is government owned. Thats when it will save us billions in foreign exchange.
Dangote Refinery will put Billions in Dangote's pocket
Crude oil and petrol are international commodities trading in dollars.
We sell crude in dollars....to finance the country.
As long as Dangote buys crude oil dollars...he will sell petrol in dollars.

There is a mix of common misconceptions, truths and half truths in your statement. Let’s break down your claims and look at the reality of how "Oil Economics" actually works.

1. Your Claim: "It only saves FX if it’s government-owned."

The Point: Some argue that a private refinery just moves the profit from the state to an individual.

The Reality: Foreign Exchange (FX) isn’t saved by who owns the building, it’s saved by where the work is done. Currently, Nigeria pays billions to foreign countries for the service of refining. By doing it here, we keep the "Refining Margin" (the cost of labor, power, and logistics) within our borders. As of late 2025, reports show that local refining has already started reducing our fuel import bill by billions.

2. Your Claim: "Dangote will just put billions in his pocket."

The Point: This is a private monopoly that benefits one man.

The Reality: While it is a private profit-making venture, a profitable local industry is a massive win for the GDP. It creates thousands of jobs and generates tax revenue. The alternative of sending that same profit to refineries in Europe doesn't help a single Nigerian worker. But put money in the pockets of a group of cabal. This is why these marketers should come together and open their own refinery it they truly believe Dangote is a monopoly.

3. Your Claim: "If he buys crude in dollars, he must sell in dollars."

The Point: Oil is a global commodity priced in USD, so the price at the pump will always stay high.

The Reality, this was the biggest hurdle, but the "Naira-for-Crude" deal changed the game. By allowing the refinery to buy crude in Naira, the government has removed the need for the refinery to constantly hunt for dollars. This stabilizes the Naira and has allowed the refinery to slash prices recently reaching as low as N699/litre at the gantry, significantly lower than the cost of imported petrol.

The Bottom Line
The refinery isn't a "magic wand" that makes oil free, but it is a massive shield for our currency.

Importing fuel = Exporting jobs and depleting our dollar reserves.

Refining locally = Strengthening the Naira and ensuring energy security.

Government Ownership matters for "social pricing," but for economic stability, the location of the refinery is what truly changes the math for Nigeria.

This is why we need to stop importation of fuel. Imagine that amount of money is directed towards building another refinery?

Looking to sell my MTN 5G Router. It’s practically new, I only used it for a month before moving to a different service. It’s been sitting unused on my desk since April, so it’s time to find it a new home.

I’m asking for ₦50k, but I’m open to reasonable negotiations for serious buyers.

This your long, winding epistle, why is Dangote cement cheaper in Kano than in kogi where it is produced?

Why is Dangote cement cheaper in other African countries than in Nigeria?

Do you have any idea of what Competition Laws entail?

Since my 'long epistles' seem to bother you, I’ll keep the facts heavy and the word count light. You’ve actually proven my point when you ignore the data, you’re left with nothing but emotions.

Let’s talk logic, Kano is a commercial hub with a massive distribution network and fierce competition of course prices are lower there. Meanwhile, Kogi sits right next to the Obajana plant but suffers because proximity doesn't fix broken infrastructure.

As for the price gap in other African countries? A quick research trip beyond your feelings would show you the same 'fault lines' I mentioned stable grids and functional rail systems elsewhere make production cheaper.

If you’re making a killing off fuel importation, I’ll excuse your stance. But if you’re an ordinary Nigerian, your anger is directed at the wrong person. Don't blame the builder, blame the government that refuses to fix the road to the site. Importing fuel is just a high interest loan on our future pain. We must all say no to it!

I am off to work.

The truth is, this involves an underage boy. The woman initially took advantage of his immaturity for her own selfish reasons. She irresponsibly placed the role of a father upon a child, a burden he was too young to bear. Now, after this pressure has broken him, she releases videos to portray herself as the victim. She should be arrested for manipulating a minor.

Like this post if you agree

Why are we like this in this Country? We leave the real issue but lash on to inconsequential ones to push our personal agenda. I keep saying that it's either we fix ourselves so that the quality of leaders that would emanate from our society would be people with sound reasoning and the discernment to fix the nation for all. But we dwell on "whataboutism" too much we then lose focus on the issue that would benefit us all. This comment is a case study you might think it doesn't link but look at it critically you just might understand.

Drop which guy?
Dey play.

That monopoly Dangote is looking for, he won't get it.

Why should Dangote petrol be in the same price range as imported fuel?
What then is the use of his refinery?

We must learn from the collapse of Nigeria’s textile factories. That industry didn't just disappear, it was suffocated by the same issues we see in the energy sector today, high production costs, non-existent infrastructure, and a preference for foreign imports over local manufacturing. Labels like 'monopoly' are often used to distract from the fact that we have failed to create a competitive environment for local production. We shouldn't be importing fuel in 2025 any more than we should have abandoned our textile heritage. It’s time to stop choosing the path of least resistance and start fixing the underlying issues that make local business so difficult.

Aliko:

1. Is it true that our refinery cannot meet daily demand in Nigeria?

2. If that is the case, why do you want to monopolize the market?

3. If your refinery cannot meet daily demand, is it not fair for import licenses to be granted to those who can support your own output?

4. You hold press conferences every month as if you are briefing Nigerians on the state of your refinery. In your latest press conference, you published the names of NMDPRA's children and the schools they attended and the fees they paid. You failed to link those fees to corruption. We expected you to submit evidence of him receiving money illegally or engaging in corruption. How will you feel if the details of your children and their schools and addresses are published?

5. You are at loggergeads because he granted import licenses. Why don't you lobby legislators to amend the PIA to ensure NMDPRA cannot grant such licenses?

6. You attempted to penetrate the noodles market and left it as quickly as you came in because Dufil Prima already dominated the market. Are you afraid of competition?

7. Scale up production, plug loopholes and sell at prices Nigerians can afford. That way, you'd take a significant chunk of market share. Engaging in monthly smear campaign and attacking someone's children is not how to run a business. That is introducing political smear campaign in the corporate world. Until the refinery attains full capacity, import licenses are to continue.

We appreciate Aliko for building a refinery to meet Nigeria's energy needs. I suggest he buys out the marketers and take over their assets.

Anyone that mentions importation of finished product from crude oil is an enemy of Nigeria. We should still go back to importation of substandard petrol because some adult children can't compete by building their own refinery? Because you don't want to do that you call it monopoly.

All these charlatans

Trump behaves and talks like a kid sometimes.

Its is well with all of una. He should allow the wife take custody and pay for upkeep.

He is a monster that's the last thing he would do.

NK deserves his sentence but what happens when other atrocious crimes being committed by other players are treated with levity. We can't go on like this honestly everyday Nigeria saddens me. I look at my kids sometimes and I feel like crying because what happens to them if when I am going through the hustle Nigeria happens to me? Who will take care of them?

Hardeybohwarley:
Even though her action is commendable, we need to let go of such mentality as it doesn't work in saner climes and better organisation in Nigeria.

I find it hard to see why an employer will be expecting me to show appreciation for receiving a salary I toiled for.

Was the employer thanking me while I was doing the job.

Not everything done in "saner clime" should be copied. And what do you even mean by saner clime? The rest of the world is living in an insane clime? That's a back end comment to yourself and your country. Showing appreciation is just the way some people are brought up.

They are taught from kids by their parents to hate omo Igbos.

My neighbor is exceptionally mean. He blew up at my kids just for playing with his children. I calmed him down, but his reaction was totally out of line. Adults should be setting an example and teaching their kids tolerance, not passing down their personal baggage.

Honestly money doesn't bring happiness. If you can be content you find that happiness lies there. But if money then comes you should just look at it as another blessing. But when you chase money aggressively it might come but other things that money cannot solve would also follow it.

So because you poor like church rat you feel say an everybody dey like that.. sorry for you. I nor from Anambra but I go tell you one thing for free. Them no born anybody well make him even dream say e go buy vote there with food way nor even reach 1k and and cash 4 or 5k max.

Ah who I be na way I go poor like church rat. Church rat guide pass me o. I say no wan make una they share and collect refreshments and TP dey go. Sell your future for malt and gala and ₦500. Me way broke pass church rat wetin I know na

AdUlAM:
Do you have any proof that it is not refreshment?? So just shut up.

Ah who I be now. Since you say na refreshments no wahala. The cash Na transport fare abi. Oh marvelous . Make una dey refresh the suffering dey go.

Thewrath:
Refreshments is now an issue? Or you were expecting bullion vans? Nonsense

Refreshments?? Na the new format be that now. The way una dey lie ehn dead person fit wake up do GBIM!! from the shock of the lie.

Can you imagine if they can kidnap a government official. Then what hope do we masses even have? This nonsense needs to stop.

This is an AI video, but the tragic reality it highlights is undeniable, the killings in Nigeria must stop. The pain and exhaustion are national, all Nigerians are tired. Our beloved villages and rural areas are now the most unsafe places. I cannot take my two children to their ancestral village due to this danger, turning what was once a joyful annual tradition into something we dread.

Also we must address a core driver of this conflict, fulani herders must modernize. Carelessly damaging farms, which are other Nigerians livelihoods, must cease. Herders need to establish permanent locations, cultivate fodder for their cattle, and respect established land boundaries. This is the 21st century, for crying out loud state land is rightfully apportioned. Let us all respect each others livelihoods, as this would mitigate conflict, and is the path to a sustainable future.

When he said Keke is being sold for ₦7M in Nigeria and he is in China and can get it for ₦3.5M that was when I knew this guy was clueless. And luckily for him he has followers who are twice as clueless as him. We get very dull people for Nigeria and the thing they pain because any Chike, Ibrahim and Femi can fool them.

engrchykae:
is that the reason the pyramids aligned with the Orion belt.?
The pyramids are far greater in purpose than you think

That statement about the Orion belt is based on a fringe theory.

SporaD8:
What if the Pyramid serve same purpose?!

You are a critical thinker. But basically pyramids are massive stone structures that function primarily as monuments or tombs, they were never designed to interact with light or astronomical objects in this way.

They should have just registered for 10 years it is not even up to $1000 to do that especially for a site that brings in that much revenue.

I don't think there's anything that you will do that humans would not judge you. If you were Hijab cover from head to toe some go say why she come dress like Ninja, if you were the way skin show some go why you dress dey show body. But understand that regardless of what do them go still judge you. So why not just do what you need to do (not crime) and while they are judging you are achieving and never looking back.
