The construction industry in Nigeria heavily depends on bitumen and asphalt for road infrastructure and other civil engineering projects. As of 2025, the prices of these essential materials have fluctuated due to exchange rate volatility, rising operational costs, and logistics challenges.

Current Price of Bitumen in Nigeria (2025)

Bitumen, a key component in road construction, currently sells for ₦1.3 million per ton. However, transportation costs significantly affect the final price, ranging between ₦55,000 to ₦100,000 per ton, depending on the location.








Cost of Asphalt in Nigeria (2025)

Asphalt prices vary across different regions in Nigeria due to factors like transportation, supply chain efficiency, and market demand. Here’s a breakdown of current asphalt costs per ton:

- Abuja: ₦130,000 – ₦136,000
- Asaba, Benin, Warri: ₦122,000 – ₦127,000
- Lagos: ₦125,000 – ₦130,000

Factors Affecting Bitumen and Asphalt Prices

Several factors contribute to the price fluctuations of bitumen and asphalt in Nigeria, including:

1. Exchange Rate Volatility– Since bitumen is mostly imported, fluctuations in the Naira against the Dollar affect its landing cost.
2. Operational Costs – Rising fuel prices, labor, and equipment maintenance have increased production expenses.
3. Logistics and Transportation – The cost of moving materials from depots to various locations significantly impacts pricing.
4. Government Policies and Import Tariffs – Any changes in tariffs or import restrictions can also affect supply and pricing.

As Nigeria continues to expand its road network, the demand for bitumen and asphalt remains high. However, stakeholders must keep an eye on market trends, exchange rates, and government policies that influence pricing.

For construction companies and contractors, sourcing materials at competitive rates and optimizing logistics can help manage costs in this dynamic market.

Take it or leave it every feminist is depressed. Women are designed to be loved and cared for by a man . Once they go on this "I m independent rampage" they suffer emotionally bur proving strong outside. A single mother of 2 took her life recently because she couldn't fake it anymore. God who designs a family knows best from the beginning

You are not totally far from the truth. Many became feminists due to a series of failed relationships, which might have occurred because of factors beyond their control. Others became feminists because of societal gender inequality, which has significantly limited women’s opportunities to impact their societies or communities. However, some are "anywhere-belle-face" feminists, without any clear cause or reason for their stance.

Nigerian feminists are strong, independent women who know what they want and refuse to settle for less. They are goal-getters with a drive for success, and dating the good ones can be a breath of fresh air. Unlike the regular Gen Z babes who are all about billing and "send me something small," the good Nigerian feminist doesn’t stress men with endless financial demands.

But let's not sugarcoat it: not all feminists in Nigeria are cut from the same cloth. The good feminists are respectful and independent, but some bad eggs among them carry an air of arrogance and insubordination while still expecting men to handle their bills. It’s almost like they’re saying, “I don’t need a man... but can you pay my rent?”

Here’s the thing: both good and bad Nigerian feminists often share a common mindset that men are only good for reproduction, and outside of that, they’re seen as "extras." This is where wahala starts. No man—Nigerian or not—wants to feel useless, especially in marriage, which is a long-term partnership.

Now, Nigerian men love dating feminists. The independence and intellect are attractive, but when the “M” word (marriage) comes up, bros start having second thoughts. Why? Fear of divorce and the drama that comes with it.

Feminists often have high standards, and their drive for the top makes them naturally drawn to rich, wealthy men. But here’s the twist—these rich guys don’t want the 50/50 wealth split that could come with divorce. So, while they’ll date a feminist, when it’s time for marriage, they settle for the “wife material” who is less about activism and more about traditional roles.

A Word for Nigerian Feminists

Ladies, if marriage is your goal, you might need to rethink some things. Marrying a man means building a home together, and in the Nigerian context, submission (whether we like it or not) is part of the package. Submission doesn’t mean weakness—it’s about creating balance. If you keep waiting for a man to “earn your submission,” the relationship might never leave the dating zone.

Also, stop focusing on flashy, wealthy guys who have too many options. Instead, date someone who genuinely loves and cares for you, even if he’s not your “perfect spec.” Comfort and love go a long way in building a lasting relationship, but chasing specs can leave you chasing shadows.

The truth is, many rich and successful men will date feminists but marry someone else because they know what they want in a wife. That’s why many Nigerian feminists find themselves in the cycle of chronic singleness.

This is not about shading anyone—it’s just an honest look at why things sometimes don’t work out. So, if you’ve got an opinion or an experience to share, let’s gist in the comments section.

PresidObi:
We went to enforce such community taxes and the chinese man in our community called army on us. We have to settle with them at their own terms.

.

exactly, the chinese have paid their dues. the company only owns your community good access road to the quarry and possibly anything they feel fit.

PresidObi:
Lies

Nigerian quarry owners are usually over taxed, intimidated by host communities and bullied more by the government.

Chinese are very corrupt, and our police and army are afraid of their fair skin.

who told you that chinese company do not have a fair share of host community taxes and demands? i am in the system and i know what happens

The Nigerian quarry industry is a vital sector, providing essential raw materials for construction and infrastructure development. Despite its importance, a glaring disparity exists between the success rates of Chinese-owned quarries and indigenous quarries in Nigeria. While many Chinese quarries thrive and sustain operations over the long term, indigenous quarries often falter and close within three to five years. This post explores the reasons behind this trend and identifies lessons for indigenous quarry operators.

1.Dedicated Focus on the Quarry Business

Chinese quarry owners in Nigeria dedicate their full attention to the quarry business. Their singular focus allows them to invest time, resources, and expertise into managing the complexities of the industry. In contrast, many indigenous quarry owners treat the quarry business as one among many ventures. This divided attention often leads to inadequate monitoring, suboptimal decision-making, and a lack of strategic direction, which are detrimental to the success of such a capital-intensive and competitive industry.

2. Proximity and Close Habitation

Chinese operators often live in close proximity to their quarries. This proximity ensures better supervision of daily activities and curbs common issues such as equipment theft, looting, and vandalism. For indigenous quarries, owners typically reside far from the quarry sites, leaving operations to managers who may not have the same level of commitment or oversight. The lack of physical presence makes indigenous operations more vulnerable to inefficiencies and losses.

3. Hands-On Management

Chinese quarry owners directly manage their operations and handle sensitive aspects of the business themselves. They maintain a robust monitoring system that includes daily on-site or remote auditing of accounts. This proactive management style ensures profitability, even during economic downturns. Indigenous quarries, by contrast, often delegate management to others, leading to lapses in oversight and accountability. Without a strong management system, these businesses struggle to maintain financial stability and operational efficiency.

4. Access to Adequate Funding

A significant factor in the success of Chinese quarries is their access to substantial funding from the outset. This financial advantage allows them to invest in high-quality equipment, skilled labor, and other resources critical for establishing a sustainable operation. Indigenous quarry owners often lack access to such capital and start operations with limited resources, which hampers their ability to scale or compete effectively. The resulting operational inefficiencies and inability to meet market demand often lead to early closure.

5.Cultural and Operational Discipline

Chinese operators bring a disciplined approach to their business operations. They prioritize efficiency, cost management, and long-term profitability over short-term gains. This discipline is evident in their rigorous maintenance schedules, worker training programs, and adherence to best practices. Indigenous quarry owners, however, may struggle with inconsistent practices and a reactive rather than proactive approach to challenges, further contributing to their short lifespan in the industry.

Lessons for Indigenous Quarry Operators

To bridge the gap between the success of Chinese and indigenous quarries, Nigerian quarry operators can adopt several strategies:

Focus and Specialization:[/b]Concentrate exclusively on the quarry business to ensure undivided attention and dedication.
[b]Proximity: Establish living arrangements near the quarry site to enhance supervision and minimize losses.
Strong Management Systems: Implement rigorous monitoring, auditing, and accountability mechanisms.
Seek Adequate Funding: Explore financing options, partnerships, or government support to secure the necessary capital for sustainable operations.
Adopt Best Practices: Learn from successful models and prioritize efficiency, innovation, and long-term planning.
