Why you go dey hold foreign passport in your own country and yet claim to be Nigerian?

ignorant man, Na all Nigerians get passport?

It's never a crime to hold a foreign passport anywhere.

He is actually right about the taxes. He just disclosed the strategy he adopted to stay afloat and use export to sustain his business locally. There's one Important strategic benefit I believed he left out deliberately and that is forex as hedge.

It's important to listen and learn from folks like him if you are teachable.

The so-called PMS importation cabals got themselves in a ditch they dug for themselves. They were myopic, lazy and lacking in vision that borders on lack of patriotism.

At some point in time, especially during the subsidies era, they were making so much huge profits that IPMAN bought out Mobil and changed to 11 Plc. They still had so much billions left and instead of investing the money to build refinery, they started buying up hotels upandan. They bought Capital Hotels Plc and took it private. They bought one of the most iconic hotels on Victoria Island, Lagos and continued on hotels buying spree!
There's one disgraceful interview by their M.D where he boasted that they will buy more hotels and I was so disgusted because I knew it was coded money laundering.


They never knew that a Nigerian would be audacious to build a refinery let alone build the largest single-train refinery in the world!

The cabals underestimated Nigeria and Nigerians. They should go and sell those hotels and use the funds to build their own refinery. If they don’t do it and keep thinking they can blackmail us with the monopoly nonsense, they are wasting their time!

They have just seen kesekese, kasakasa is still coming. Tell them in your WhatsApp group o.

cabal is good for oil business. Even though they are not good people.

Dangote can not be allowed to monopolize Nigeria and Nigerians.

His bringing PMS price down cos his refinery monopoly was been challenged by the cabals who wanted to frustrate him.
However,when BUA reduced price of cement, he didn't see the need to toe same path , been the highest producer of cement.
It's just unfortunate they busy reasoning is off ,despite the huge volume of raw materials within the country.

Bua reduced on paper and online.

I built my house, without Bua cement, because I couldn't see bua at a reduced price as was advertised.

For that reason I barred my engineers from using Bua cement in any of my projects.

It was a stern warning!

Dangote is talking thrash.

Namaster:
This is EVIL and CRIMINAL!

Previous post on the issue:

IF Tinubu wins in 2027, Nigeria would look like HELL and Nigerians would DESERVE it.

This is a government of ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY marked with a level of INSECURITY we've NEVER seen before in the history of Nigeria.

YET Nigerians are being gradually STRANGLED under the weight of MULTIPLE taxes.

First, he removed fuel subsidy. So motorists have to pay MORE for fuel. And non-motorists have to pay more for FARES.

NOBODY knows where the savings on fuel subsidy is going.

Then, he FLOATED the Naira and car importers have no option but to pay what was previously considered BLACK MARKET RATES to import cars and car buyers have to PAY through the NOSE to buy 15-year old cars.

Then, there is the Tinted Permit which is basically another form of TAX.

NEXT year, the 5% SURCHARGE (read tax) on all fuel purchases would likely be implemented.

Then, they'd TOP it off with another TAX in the form of Motor Recycling Fee.

In addition to that, he also wants Exporters to pay for a PRE-EXPORT Certificate which will definitely be passed on to Importers who'll pass it on to Final Car Buyers.

This is ALL in addition to the 7.5% VAT you'll need to pay when you buy a car.

To buy and own a car next year, you'll NEED to sell your kidney, your mother's kidney, your father's kidney and your Grandma's kidneys too.

ONLY good thing is that your Village People would AVOID you 'cause they won't like the way you'd be eyeing their kidneys too.

Tinubu is trying to MURDER Nigerians!

Ranting here won't stop the tax master.

Nigerians must rise up together in unity against the forces of darkness called government of oppression, cruelty and anti people policies.

If they don't see you rising, they will continue to dish out these nonsensical policies just to steal your money and buy properties abroad for themselves and their generations to come.

Nigerians wake up! This is a fight that must be fought!

HacheNoire:
Because one country restricted visa?

Do you know how many countries we have on Earth?

my friend go and sit down!

Ofodirinwa:
These changes would not even be expensive, and would make Onitsha instantly the finest city in Nigeria

this is 100% achievable.

The whites were intentional and built their cities with minimal budgets, but our leaders prefer diverting the money to personal accounts and spend it on frivolities.

This is sad!

FreeStuffsNG:
A source with knowledge on the matter, as well as former US officials, told NBC that Jerusalem believes Iran’s renewed production of ballistic missiles could increase to 3,000 per month if left unchecked.

They want to keep stocking up weapons they use to blow up Lebanon, Gaza, Palestine, Syria and others daily but prevent Iran from building up its own arsenal. Smh

the dictator from North Korea you are quoting, will not even allow you go online, not to talk about using a phone on the Internet.

Yet you quote him, not because you love him or you don't pity his people, just make him look super good just because you want to spite on America and Israel.

Lol... When will you relocate to North Korea?

tunwumi:
This data shows how Lagos has position itself

Lagos did not position it self.

It's dirty politics of stifling, killing , under using other ports in NIGERIA that has created this national embarrassment. Especially, the ports in P.h are under used deliberately and systematically just to keep Lagos leading.

Don't come here bragging about ports in NIGERIA.

This is why the South South people will never be happy with gej The monopoly ought to have been broken.

And it will break one day with a right Government.

Made up stories just to get unmerited attention.

If you like don't take care of yourself e concern you.

Whether it's a credible story or not, I got the message, the message was clear to all wise men, not boys.

Kaliningrad:
American Oil Thieves. First they said it was because of drugs in Venezuela, now oil.

Smart people like me always knew it was about oil. Just like Iraq, Libya and many others.

Venezuela might be the final nail in the US coffin. The world stands with Venezuela against the evil US empire.

They refused to put it into good use.

Example is the Iraq you just mentioned, all we hear about them is how they spend their oil money on Islamic terrorism, they are jihadists who would blow you up for being a Christian.

Their oil money is never for development or scientific break through, it's for jihad against unbelievers.

Defend them all you want, but I dare you to visit Basra, baghdad or musol as a Christian, jew, pagan, Buddhist or even a Muslim that don't cover your hair. I bet you nobody will see your corpse. look, enough of this one eye or blind support for Islamic terrorists just because you want to spit on America.

IkeAnumudu:
You’re the one exhibiting known Nairaland levels of ignorance here.

Dangote is a commercial business, same as Depot owners.

So they should supply you petrol below their costs?

No good news about Nigeria ever satisfied you. Everyone knows you!

what do you know about cost? Olod-o!

What was the cost before 2023? Olod-o!

Don't deceive yourselves, Oil and gas remains the only source of forex and economic stability.

These non-exports are what and what exactly?

Take away crude oil & gas and see Nigeria collapse like a building without foundation.

Kaa4:
All of this is to the advantage of the customer. The NNPC should regulate on quantity and quality now. Price is an issue, but more on the right quality and quantity.

Is the quality of the imported fuel high-quality? Are filling stations dispensing the right quantity?

Oga you are not making sense!

Nigeria have no business buying fuel over 500 naira per liter. Don't come here creating a false and demonic sense or impression that Nigerians are ok with the current pump price.

710 naira for a liter is still very high for Nigerians!

Mankind2024:
Why Captain Ibrahim Traoré Is Playing with Fire by Detaining Nigerian Soldiers
Many people underestimate the capabilities of the Nigerian military and what it could mean for the government of Burkina Faso under Captain Ibrahim Traoré.

Don't be misled by Nigeria's ongoing internal security challenges—fighting Fulani herdsmen clashes, kidnappers, bandits, and jihadist insurgents in the North, or separatist agitation in the East involving IPOB and unknown gunmen. These are asymmetric insurgencies, complicated by local sympathies and complex socio-political dynamics that make total eradication difficult without massive collateral impact. No advanced military in the world easily wins such protracted internal wars.

In stark contrast, a direct confrontation with Burkina Faso would be conventional (symmetric) warfare. The Nigerian Armed Forces—Africa's largest by personnel, with superior airpower, logistics, and combat experience—have the overwhelming potential to overrun Burkina Faso's smaller military and, if provoked far enough, enforce regime change in Ouagadougou.

Dismiss any notion that Russia's support for Traoré would deter this. Nigeria could establish theater commands in neighboring countries like Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Benin, and Togo for a multi-front operation, leveraging regional alliances and superior resources.

This detention risks escalating a diplomatic incident into something far more dangerous. Traoré's supporters—often vocal online pan-Africanists and certain political factions—may cheer the bravado now, but they would have plenty to lament if things spiral out of control.

How did you find yourself under their detention? What are you doing in their country without their permission? What's your mission there?
These and more are the questions you should ask Tinubu and his govt.

We have had Presidents who did not threaten any country with war and violence. Why is Tinubu's govt threatening the peace of West Africa by entering that country without permission.

They did not come here to arrest any soldier.

Exousiang01:
Issues like this is the main reason why no company wants to do business is Delta.

Oil companies were there before but you lots over played your cards, kidnap, vandalism, now they ran off and government turned away.
Delta state receives more money than some 5 states combined yet they can build a deep seaport like Lagos, they are still waiting for FG to come and sweep their living rooms and bath their kids...

My point is Delta state is responsible for what has befallen her.
Both the Delta state government and the people of Delta state

You didn't answer my question

Why are we running pipelines from Delta to Lagos? What's happening with crude oil in Lagos State that can't happen in the states where the crude oil is pumped from??

And all those who have an evil consciousness shall perish in the lake of fire 🔥 When you face God, tell him how human death dey sweet you and how you're addicted to hearing about genocide

terrorists are not humans and deserve nothing but lab tests and vaccine trials.

Islamic terrorists are the number spillers of human blood. Islamic terrorism is a cancer in the world. They have no god, they have no conscience, they are cold blooded killers.

Any one who support them will be reduced to a lab rat like them. All their sympathizers will meet their fate.

zinaunreal:
Still fake israel. I'm sure they used live Palestinians as test subjects. Of you like achieve heaven. Evil is evil

All terrorists should be converted to lab rats.

Since they can't be useful to humanity in the free world, they should be useful in the lab. for the purpose of testing drugs and vaccines.

I am 100% in support!

helinues:
Now they are talking.

Their online sympathizers will be so sad with this

so sad with what?

Where is evidence! No evidence, no pictures, no videos. Abeg carry your propaganda go sit down for sambisa forest.

Plateau man beaten to death in Lagos for sleeping with boss’ wife




https://dailypost.ng/2025/12/07/plateau-man-beaten-to-death-in-lagos-after-for-sleeping-with-boss-wife/

Nobody to fight for him, are you serious?

Joseph an innocent man was dealt with, he was imprisoned for not sleeping with Potiphar's wife.

But this man is guilty!

We were taught to stay away from the wives of other men, because it kills.

But this man did not sleep with the wife of another, he went straight into the matrimonial bed of another man to knack another man's wife.

Mehn.... The guy no like this life.

helinues:
Coup galore in West Africa countries lately

Benin has been stagnant in terms of development for decades.

where democracy fails due to criminals who parade themselves as Presidents, leaders and democrats. Military take over is understandable, welcomed and supported until credible leaders come to power in the name of democracy.

West African sub-region is the most corrupt regional block in Africa and the world, with so much corruption and anti-people policies that brings nothing but poverty,unemployment, inflation and multiple taxes that are unaccounted for and finds it's way into the pocket of leaders.

People must support the military's rise to foster credibility and accountability in West Africa and African countries that are fantastically corrupt.

Congratulations to the people of Benin🎉

Imagine what this old man is doing with a teenager?

words with no meaning!

FreeStuffsNG:
Smh.

Lies from the pit of hell where unhappy, unfortunate, unintelligent people burn.

She couldn't have been abusing drugs and recently give birth to a healthy child. Not everyone is foolish o.

She's a nursing mother and still struggling with the challenges that come with having and nursing a baby.

She needs all the support, love, care and understanding especially from her husband.

Don't bring badluck and foolhardiness to ruin their home and union so that you will not attract curses from God.

Their marriage is their business. Eyin Solo Makinde, mind your own business before it's too late for you in life.

This one na jew! This one na johnny just come and a complete learner. Just imagine write up. You know nothing about drugs.

Enjoy your fruit juice in peace

Lol... 😂

Afriifa:
Na she finds death with greed. No RIp to waste.

what's the greed?

You people must learn to be reasonable, she is not his wife. She has the freedom to have another man. Even married women cheat.

So if somebody kills your single daughter for cheating or having another man that she loves you will call her a greedy girl?

Relationship is not by force, it's the men who take it too far. By doing everything and thinking money spending is how you keep her.

Change your mentality

madridguy:
This is impressive and courageous.

I thought they said Israel committed genocide?

They should rather embrace peace ooh, otherwise the next drone strike will be in that class. Their ladies are so beautiful.

God1000:
Long live Palestine, the genocidal regime is a disgrace

The ball is in their court. Embrace peace and enjoy the benefits of "live and let's live" with their neighbor Israel.

Or return to another war few months or years from now the choice is theirs. I believe they have learnt the overwhelming importance of peace ✌️🕊️ from this war.

Next time there will be no need to attack Israelis again, because the cost will be excessively high. But I don't trust them, they are head strong terrorists and harming Israel is their only life mission.

Unfortunately for them, Israelis are Jews and not Christians. Christians will pray in the face of terrorists attacks, a very peaceful religion. while Jews don't pray, they defend themselves with massive fire for fire.

madridguy:
Another useless thread just to hype the failed iron plastic dome country.
