It will be a disaster for the world if Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom becomes US president. They will simply hand over nuclear weapons to Iran and turn every man to a ‘woman’ and vice versa just to be politically correct.

The one Trump is doing has elevated US abi?

BondRiv:
Another American institution. The same way Nigeria was conveniently included, it will also be excluded. The president is interested in pleasing them with his policies of hardship to the detriment of Nigerians.

Jf they had condemned Nigeria you would have been celebrating.

Rodri would win.

No name, no link.

A good price means a price not determined or affected by the chaos at the strait of Hormuz..... Does that satisfy you?

You're talking rubbish.

Oil is an international commodity and Nigeria has long-term obligations with the oil companies on how money is invested, shared and product offloaded.

You don't wake up one day and say "mo more". That's what Iran is suffering for today.


Hope thar satisfies you?

Reference:
How many people are employed by Dangote compared to how many people will be paying terribly high price for energy....that is transport and power in the coming days and weeks.

Can Dangote industries compensate economically for the potential job losses and revenue losses to government.

You still.maintain tunnel vision.
The problem is not Dangote,.the problem is with the manager of the economy who should anticipate all these and if they dis not have plans pre subsidy removal, should be doing so now.

What is the war escalates and oil hits 110,.120,.130...you think it will not affect everyone including Dangote and the government itself, you think it will not affect security and infrastructure and everything on government's plate...

So you know there's a war.

Franking:
There were about seven responses to my comment. Only yours seemed out of point. If Dangote buys crude from Nigeria at a good price won't that determine the price he sells refined fuel? You lot are no different from those corrupt dudes dealing with us. I guess we deserve everything we get.

What do.you mean buy crude at a good price?

You mean the oil companies should earn less?

Would you work for lower wages?

Reference:
And.....
Of what effect does that have on a person paying 29 percent more for transportation to work today, today, today, this morning.

Once more the discord between statistics and reality. Dangote is not in charge of this economy, the government is.

And it is the responsibility of government to ensure the economy works for all. If Dangote could do it alone. He will not be doing an IPO.

And he is doing an IPO because he wants security: cash and sentiment because he knows the risks of energy affordability and politics. He knows the high cost of energy is fuelling (pun intended) inflation and his business can come under political threat if the people yield.

If you're asking whether people who had Jlno work yesterday but but that now have jobs created by the productivity of the refinery or the new logistical and byproducts opportunities that it creates in addition to saving us the demand for forex, increasing forex inflows, and yet you prefer to dismiss it, you are not speaking from a place of sincerity but cynicism.

Reference:
And then do what with the money....share it...
Three and a half years of sharing more money than ever before (so they say), what is the grand effect on the economy....

What has their 'investments' yielded.so far....nothing.

Look, I am pro subsidy removal only because of the criminality involved and the institutional failures associates with it. Accountability failures that haven't been addressed in government's alternative policy of collection and sharing, aka 'tax and spend'.

So whether it was former/private/citizen waste or present/government waste of resources the effects are similar. Waste is waste.

The very fact that investments have not been made back into the place from where the money was taken out speaks volumes. It is the people's money government is taking and deciding it can invest/spend it better.

You cannot take a loan from bank claiming you can make money for both yourself and the bank and then turn around to tell the back to adjust to the reality of a smaller balance sheet and manage the losses. The bank expects to be better off giving you that money.

Nigerians expect to be better off allowing you take their subsidy. It is their livelihoods you are playing games with.

Unless you choose to ignore fact:

The Dangote refinery has driven a major surge in Nigeria's petroleum product exports, averaging 350,000 barrels per day (bpd) in international exports by the second quarter of 2026.

Franking:
Does it mean we can not simply sell our crude to Dangote refineries at a steady price to avoid all this up and down movement?

Or is this rocket science that I don't understand?

You mean you would sell your wares at government controlled prices even if you can get times 4 in the international market?

What has Donald Trump to do with Tinubu's failure to deliver his N185 petrol promise

Why not educate yourself, old man.

Donald Trump showing thr world pepper because of the Epstein files.

Daguccizgreat:
That's our next president.

...Of Njikoka Teaders Union.

LabStores:
Don't mistake me for your parents

You're not qualified to tie their shoelaces.

SpecialAdviser:
Anything to lobby the northerners. What has presidency brought them all these years?

Tinubu will finish dealing with Nigerians and a Northerner comes to continue it. If voters fail to reason properly come 2027, then they should continue to groan in an everlasting pain

So who should be president?

LabStores:
Whoever added straight of Hormuz to this post is very STUPID.
Nigeria absolutely has no business directly nor indirectly with what is happening thousands of kilometres away in the middle east.

OUR ONLY PROBLEM IS GREED AND EVIL PEOPLE AT THE ARMS OF AFFAIRS.

Go school, e no gree go.

Cheap propagandist. 10 Naira per post.

5 Naira.

saintkel:
Obi may not be a saint, but u see petrol price n corruption, they will definitely reduce or come down way much.....I can bet my life on dis

Nonsense.

Nobody can bring down the price of Petroleum products without restoring subsidies.

Subsidies can only be maintained by borrowing and/or printing money which would lead to more inflation which would lead to an increase in price of Petroleum products.

You will even give every Nigerian adult 5 million Naira.

Elusive001:
Please, remind me the benefits of the October 7th madness.

Did October 7th worth it?

You mean the act Satanyahu was culpable in?

Why not just pull out of Iran?



At least that one is under your control.

An expected daft and sanctimonious statement from the usual suspects! Who are the 'themselves' you're sitting on your high horse to admonish!?

Why are they fighting themselves?

Irony1:
Why do you love to tell lies? Since 1990 Obi was the sole franchise owner of Heinz in West Africa. He didn't make any money through Abacha he was only chairman of a task force set up BY Abacha to decongest the ports.

Does heinz have a sole distributor in west Africa

[b]No, Kraft Heinz does not use a single, sole distributor for the entirety of West Africa.[/b]Instead, the company manages its operations in the region through a localized subsidiary model and multiple distribution channels. [1] (https://guardian.ng/business-services/heinz-nigeria-explains-diversification-with-new-products/), [2] (https://wigmoretrading.com/how-to-buy-heinz-wholesale-in-nigeria-a-guide-to-finding-heinz/)How Heinz Operates in West AfricaDirect Regional Presence: Kraft Heinz has an official corporate entity called Kraft Heinz West and Central Africa, which oversees regional strategy, localized product formulations, and sales operations. [1] (https://guardian.ng/business-services/heinz-nigeria-explains-diversification-with-new-products/)Local Manufacturing & Co-Packing: Rather than relying solely on imported goods, Heinz uses local manufacturing partnerships. For instance, they partner with companies like Vital Products Plc in Nigeria to locally manufacture and co-pack specific products, such as Heinz Tomato Paste and Jollof Mix. [1] (https://www.vitalproductsplc.com/co-packing/), [2] (https://guardian.ng/business-services/heinz-nigeria-explains-diversification-with-new-products/)Plurality of Distributors: The supply chain relies on a network of multiple independent wholesale companies, open-market suppliers, and retail distributors across different countries like Nigeria and Ghana. Prominent B2B trading networks and wholesalers—such as Wigmore Trading, Delta Wholesale, and Lagos Wholesale—regularly handle bulk import and distribution.
