No, the purpose of anti trust is to prevent undue advantage by a single entity in controlling the market share whether domestic or foreign. There are some many examples to protect smaller businesses from influences of the big boys like in case of microsoft, google, visa, tesla etc.

The question remains, is Dangote the only company allowed to own a refinery in Nigeria?

lexy2014:
if you are not the one "stuck in the matrix", then you should not this question difficult to answer:

when did these protests listed below take place?

nigerian students not protest against obasanjo in 1978

babangida in 1989 (Anti-SAP riots)

riots against world bank loan in 1990

June 12 riots in 1993 up to 1994

There's a glitch in the matrix.

Mumu man always sides the perpetuators and blame the victims, old man with a child's brain.

Go and commit arson and get shot. You will die for nothing. Nobody will care or remember you by Friday. The people who are pushing you will still be here.

Arda1000:
cowards like you are the reason why this country will never be good.
Go and watch how people in Bangladesh were full of joy after successfully forcing their prime minister out,yea there were many deaths and injuries but at the end they achieved their aim.
I do not wish death for anyone,if a protester is killed it’s not my fault but the government’s and what you should be doing is standing with the people who are protesting against bad government not trying to demoralize them with your cowardly antics

You are naive. I am with law abiding people who are protesting peacefully. If you go out to commit arson and then get shot, sorry.

LandMann:
If Bill Gates monopoly was not curtailed by US government, Americans in tech would be gnashing their teeths today.

Read this piece to understand the importance of ANTITRUST LAWS then compare to Nigeria where the government that is supposed to protect the interests of the people now uses its power to protect the business of one person who owns over 90% of his company's shares.

Every screams danger, red flag, antipeople.

Antitrust laws is to protect American citizens and businesses not to leave American businesses at the mercy of foreign competitors.
Dangote is not the only Nigerian with a license to build a refinery. Not only that, there are four government owned refineries. Where then is the monopoly?
China, Russia etc have their own equivalent of Facebook for example, why are they not protecting Facebook to compete with their own platforms?

lexy2014:
hence my question...

you clearly stated that nigerians could not protest under military rule



this is my question:
when did these protests I listed below take place?

nigerian students not protest against obasanjo in 1978

babangida in 1989 (Anti-SAP riots)

riots against world bank loan in 1990

June 12 riots in 1993 up to 1994

I wrote in plain English, go back and read it slowly. Don't do it once, read it as many times as you want.

You want to argue about semantics that is fine with me.
But you have an impossible task of trying to convince Nigerians that they are better off under the military.
The armed forces are even telling you to perish the thought.

Very true, we are better off importing from Singapore. The Singaporeans needs the job more than we do.

The protests were met with extreme violence and people who protested with pen were imprisoned or killed. That is what I meant.

EasternActivist:
But that's also Nigeria army's flag

look closely, they are different.

lexy2014:
how many times do Nigerians protest at all?

did nigerian students not protest against obasanjo in 1978, babangida in 1989 (Anti-SAP riots), riots against world bank loan in 1990, June 12 riots in 1993 up to 1994?

And they were protesting because Nigeria was so good and they couldn't take all the good leadership they were getting?
Did you know how many people died in those protests/riots?

Where exactly did he call for unity? If he did, with whom?

Maxymilliano:
Unfortunately, that's what it is ... Nigeria was it's best during military rule.

Nonsense. Nigeria wasn't at it's best. You just couldn't protest like you are doing right now.
You can even receive a letter bomb and get blown to pieces.
That was your best?

Can tomatoes grow in Kogi?

They still have more protests to come. They just landed from frying pan to fire.

I am amazed that Obasanjo would say we made a mistake by not making agriculture a cornerstone of our economy.
A farmer himself and leader of 200 million people who must eat!
When exactly did he come to this realization?

Biafrans hoping to destabilize the country so they can achieve their secessionist dreams.

Arda1000:
so what do you want people for to do?
Be cowards like you and do nothing?
Lol in as much as I will never protest for Nigeria it’s still within people right to speak up against bad governments through protests.
Just yesterday Bangladesh had a breath of fresh air after protest that have forced their prime minister to flee the country,death toll was almost 100 with thousands injured but las las they got what they wanted

You will not protest for Nigeria but you will rather encourage kids to do it and I am the coward?
The right to speak is not the right to loot and set things on fire.
Please come out from under your bed and join these kids on the firing line.
Self acclaimed keyboard warrior.

RenaissanceGuy:
So if this protest eventually forces the govt to cut the price of petrol and make other far-reaching reforms, the purpose of the protest has not been achieved?? Or you think it'll end on the 10th and everything will go back to how it used to be??

How much do you want to bet that Tinubu will be forced out of office?
Many of you are so naive.

Arda1000:
why are you always insensitive

I am not insensitive, protests are ok but we know our own environment and we knew this would degenerate into violence. It hurts to see people encourage it and then shed crocodile tears that a poor young person has been shot.
You have to be extremely stupid not to see this coming.

Mercenary123:
. Condemn this first buddy before the blame game. Tinubu did a lot of terrible disservice in the sanity of majority of yorubas. Where is your conscience?

Were you blind or deaf when we were warning about the dangers of telling thousands of people to go out and protest?
Is this the peaceful protests you promised?

Nobody is sneezing. They are just wasting their young ones for nothing. All these stupid chauvinism doesn't translate to a better live for any northerner.

Kalashnikov49:
Simon Ekpa ...

Are you afraid to say his name? Just as you are afraid to confront the killers of 3 OBAs in Yoruba land?

COWARDs

Your prime minister! What a sad day that a region which once produced great intellectuals is today being controlled remotely by a dumb midget from Finland.
I feel your pain, that is even if you know the situation you are in.

Kalashnikov49:
The true COWARDs are those seeking alliances to fight their Master.

Ko le werk...

Who is looking for alliance with whom? Certainly not with folks who take orders from a non-entity from far away Finland.

Kalashnikov49:
You and your Yoruba brethren made the protest about IGBOs, when you wanted to replicate the #endsars Propaganda against them.

The same IGBOs distanced themselves from the protest and left the floor for you and your Northern Masters to DANCE alone. Instead of you to enjoy your sophisticated dance, you deliberately started inserting IGBOs in the narrative even though everybody knows that the NORTH is 200% the onslaught against TINUBU.

Face your battles alone . COWARDs

The true cowards are currently hiding under their beds while relentlessly injecting themselves into every story hoping Nigerians will still remember who they are.

They are indeed flying the Russian flag.

Kalashnikov49:
Inferiority Complexity is the bane of YORUBA people who masquerade their insecurities by being vuvuzela noisemakers.

You make alot of noise and accuse others of what you are specialist at.

Lowlifers that claim sophisticated

This news and many others are not about Ibos. If you want to hide under your bed please feel free to do so. But stop injecting Ibos into every conversation.

phorget:
NOTHING.
But your name is not on the Forbes list either.😎

Exactly.

kYjelly2:
A sensible person knew that police would shoot a person subdued at point blank range?

I don't think so.

Do you need glasses to see pictures of people who were looting and setting things on fire? If you didn't know that could happen then you deserve to be hungry.

phorget:
And a graduate of accounting who doesn't see the reason for working with statistics is "performin excellently" to the point for people to protesting.

What have you ever run successfully in your entire life?

Kalashnikov49:
Spread lies abi...

Suit yourself...

It wouldn't be a lie if the person killed was IGBO abi? You are pathetic.

That is how , what you wish others has a spiritual way of smashing you directly..

Nonsense

Right, everything must be about ibo. Such a low self esteem thinking.
