It's really hard to defend Dangote at this point. The old feedstock story is just a cover for greed. Smart people have been pointing out the cheap stock that was refined for the higher values at the outset.

Dangote needs to positively manage people's perception of his refinery. It's important.

This is wrong in Islam.
The one that is permissible in Islam is for a muslim man to marry women of other faith who have scriptures, i.e. not stark disbelievers.

It's good the government is listening.

Where are those running with the argument that Dangote is still processing crude oil he bought at higher prices as a reason for why he has not significantly brought down the ex-depot price? Should he bring it down to below this ₦983.92 per litre now, then you should realise that he has been greedy about the pricing after all he also had lower priced feedstock processed for higher priced fuel at the beginning of the global crises. I like Dangote and I want his refinery to blossom but I have also learnt to stand with the general good of people rather than the capitalists.

Gboss247:
The right thing like selling at loss to have moribund refineries like NNPCL?
Or the right thing by your federal government introducing temporary subsidy on petrol?

He also had feedstock purchased at low prices before repurchasing at higher amount during the inflation. That should settle the argument for the remaining feedstock purchased at higher prices. Trying to gain at both ends of the market is greed.

Dangote, you can't be right all the time. As your supporter I expect you to play by your own standards. Bird came to tell us that they were fully exposed to the market when crude oil prices rose sharply up to $120 per barrel necessitating an immediate upward adjustment in fuel price simultaneously. Is it not in the same market that you are exposed to that the same price has crashed back to
$72 per barrel or even less? The ex-depot/pump price should reflect the same swiftness too.

Dear poster are you sure you are a christian at all because the way that word is avoided in christendom by your pastors you'd think even Jesus himself ever knew of it. The word is only common in muslim preachings.

BarrElChapo:
We never hear of this kind of compensation for anyone in the other regions of Nigeria.

Some people just drop comment without reading post?

Tucker is realising this because the institution of lies their governments and elites have been building with muslim collaborators (sadly) with billions upon billions of dollars is starting to crumble because the lies and misrepresentations against Islam, the holy Qur'an and the holy Prophet, Muhammad, (sallahu alaihi wa sallm) are falling apart and no longer sticking. Trace any terrorist units among muslims and before long you will discover the neo-capitalist hands pulling the strings behind them.

Let us guess-they're in southern kaduna

Gold in northern part, lithium in south. Rumours: may rival South Africa in gold.

Thank you Dear Senators of the Federal Republic of Niger (led by Akpabio)
Thank you HOR members
Thank you PBAT

Nigeria shall be great again.

See sweet news everywhere today. Earlier huge investments into the Nigerian League.

Now that's part of the problem.
Meanwhile, the least punishment for a terrorist in Islam is banishment or amputation.

geoworldedu:
Terrorism can never go away without the removal of this religion.

BioData45:
You can never separate this religion from terrorism

Lies!!!
Terrorism has no basis in Islam and Islam thrives better in peace.

Good.
Unmask everything about any individual found complicit.

This has nothing to do with Islam.
No lady can be married without her own consent in Islam.
Terrorists are harmful to Islam.

And some people on here want to convince others that this is all to the glory of God? Simply because their faith/religion is different from the victims? Many people are not roaming terrorists today is only because they have not gotten free access to the physical arms and ammunitions.

Thank you Mr President.
Let everyone be safe in their states. Now we shall know the governors who are serious about ending insecurity in their home states. Also, cross-state exporting of terrorism and banditry shall become a thing of the past.

They are called bandits because they kidnap people and many of them have killed people also. That is condemnable enough for a muslim scholar to label them appropriately. If you have the platform and media attention and you are not emphasising this, then you are culpable in giving Islam bad representation.

This guy posts insightful threads but he hardly makes two pages.

Trump is angry because many of those civilians are christians and he cares now.
But here let's just make it look like they are muslims in order to mask that sour taste to it.

Kudos to Iran's expert level negotiating skills, their diplomats are top of the range.
They made the U.S. bend.

when you are so good at what you do that no one can replace you, then you will never leave that position. Those who rise are often those who have learnt to balance competence with the opportunity to sell themselves, including learning how to play office politics as well.

Well, I tend to see this as the illusion smart people live in. And it is the exact perception that your paymaster wants you to have about yourself: the best brain since Einstein. Once you are locked in here, it is the perfect recipe to be sucked dry and discarded. He knows that in 10 to 15 years max, you have gone past your prime. Company grows, smart gets relegated or pushed out. That's why most once top performers end up without a plan B after exit. I agree with the concluding part of your post though. However, the problem for me is this phrase selling yourself. It is not always as benign as it appears. Many times, it is the vehicle to trying to capture the narrative, exhibit coded greediness and other messy manoeuvring in a team or unit.

Eastcoastboy:
What do you mean by operation oriented business mindsets?

Selling your skill and competence is a business as well. It just depends on if the compensation matches the skill deployed/exchanged.

But I get you though. There's a dearth of opportunities. That's why there are fraudsters. If one lacks a legit platform to channel his/her competence, they deploy it illegally.

I mean people who like everyday routine. Not a bad thing though because they can achieve high throughput for the routine. They like the idea of "don't reinvent the wheel". But even as difficult as it is to reinvent a wheel, we have moved from solid log wheels to steel wheels to alloy to carbon fibre.

Smart people should have little or no business building other people's businesses. In a country where leverages abound they would not be caught up in corporate mess and should have been building for operation oriented mindsets. It is a perpetual anomaly in poorly governed societies. Nice thread

treesun:
“Yet the fact that State Police is necessary does not mean it is sufficient.”
“The security crisis is real, but it is not fundamentally a policing crisis...

So is it a random posting of say a policeman from Taraba to a place like Okitipupa in Ondo state that will result in the imminent mastery of the terrain, understanding the way of the locals or identification of key actors in this highly volatile security threats that leaves little window for intervention between movements and actual attacks, as currently obtains? You want every community to remain a sitting duck for these marauders? I am surprised that people can actually choose to remain helpless but be screaming on social media attack after attack? Well, it's alright. Should we let slip this window of opportunity to pass this law, then we may never get it again under a different administration. Or it may also be looking like ending the insecurity is not the aim of some people after all but to keep on mishandling it and to allow it to result into something much more extreme, like disintegration, to happen in Nigeria.

Jayhome24:
You guys just love wasting your time replying a bloody okrika trader who knew nothing about politics.

He is calling people who went to university of Califonia ex convict he forgot this statement can seriously put him in trouble. This statement is very heavy and may carry serious consequency cus if all the ex student and the current students stand against him for defaming their institution wallahi obi go melt.

Why is this obi don't reason before he talks? I said this man lack character and lack leadership quality.

Funniest thing is he obi is hidden his UNN degree with Sunday Date, only obi under the sun got "Sunday Date" on his degree tell him if I lie he should bring it out, then who is a criminal here?

Sunday Date?

Hope I read that well?
Or should I really care because every blunder don be like normal for this we country

Riley, please shut up if you can not help us solve our security challenges holistically. Left to you now, you are only concerned about the christian victims in the Oyo incident? Shior!

Jagaban sabi politics no be small.
Respect!

Trump is more christian than many bigoted christian nairaland members

---

Riley, I have also been advocating for state policing because it puts the people at the centre of their own security and I am a muslim. Please stop bringing religious bias into everything about Nigeria. It is a simple matter of good thinking, good product. Thank you for your attention to this matter and leave Iran alone.

Kobojunkie:
That's what that means.

Let it take off then. No time for long talk again. Also applies.
