The most misunderstood word in Nigeria is monopoly

Really misunderstood word, many Nigerian only go to school to learn big gramma without knowing the meaning... 87 company have licence to open refinary, only Dangote utilize his own, while other are using the same licence to import fuel into the country... No every greedy one are now calling him Monopoly

You people need to stop deceiving yourself with this information. America is leading research efforts in artificial intelligence, space technology, drug and pharma, aeronautics, and I can go on and on.

Even if everyone decides to dump the USD, those folks are groomed to eat and drink knowledge economy so they will continuously pour everything they have in research and innovation. Where China apparently have an edge over America is agriculture, engineering and production.

American leading research... have you check the nationality of those that do the research ..... let the Dollar useless and see them move like bee .... bring out one native American and I will give you 10 immigrants who make the research happen .... try to watch a film blessed hand and see how they silent many people and try to put their own name on

Wait I need to get something straight , what do Ojukwu get in Exchange for Biafra Dollar during the war ?

Looking at regional sharing, why is Ogun State allocation this low in the region? Who defined the yardstick for allocation sharing in the first place?

During Amosun government he agree with the federal government that certain percentage should be deducted from the state allocation for the repayment of the loan he collected and it still running till now

gbengene1234:
APC only need the South Easterners Governor to perfect their rigging. PO only state the obvious and APC urchins are busy throwing jabs around. PO wouldn't perform poorly if he contest again under any platform... Labour, ADC, NNPP, APGA no matter the party. And APC knows this themselves

He know because that is what they do for him in the east last election now for him to have 99% vote. so he know what those government are capable of so election still have 2 years to come by and he don dey vomit abi... if you know that you can buy your way out in anything normally you will not like it if your opponent now become the big spender and ready to outspend you ... hypocrite

Efuaye:
You are blaming Peter Obi for changing parties but you are celebrating those who are decamping into your party from other parties almost weekly!
No bi juju bi that?

They are not blaming his for changing party they are only reminding him that he have no moral right to tell some people not to change their party because that his trademark

Freddonance:
Nigerian banks are known for favouring only the rich.

You might call it that but know this and know peace they are in for gain not for charity if your asset is not worth partner with they will not favour you ... the same way you will not see Nigerian Bank supporting any Fintech project because they belive you are competing with them but with God if someone that is rich belive in your goal and ready to support you then the influence of that person can be use to open many doors

Calm ask yourself why a Nurse and Doctor that school in Nigeria always want to go abroad despite studying the same course that will cost him a fortune if he/ she have to go to US to study the same ? It not about the citizen of US are super it because India, China and many other country make them great .... check the primary country of most of the people in USA that are making thing work 80% are foreigner, Even Trump granny are from Germany, Elon musk is from South Africa , the reason been that .. USA have achieved something which I like and also hate forcing everyone to USD... last year they renew the Petrol dollar contract with Saudi , thats why Saudi will never interfere militarily with any country been attack in Middle East for protection from US ..... you can see how they neglect their so call Muslim brother when it come to war ...that's aside and .... why do they kill Gadaffi because the guy refuse to accept USD ... why is Venezuela is in deep down hole today despite having the highest deposit of crude in the whole world because they refuse to be control by US

Me am not saying you should not support anyone you want to support but I will let you know that USA is the real evil in this world today .... and they depend on disorganizing the world so they will stay profit but you don't know what always happen to such country at the end

Woman cries out after discovering that her staff have been stealing from her, they stole over 10 million Naira and now she’s at the verge of going bankrupt.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2pAjN3HZzo

This is one thing I keep saying we Nigerian are the Problem at the end we will be saying Dangote is a monopoly .... while growing up we have many textile making company ... fun fact is that many of their workers run them down and luckily many to day die because they are unable to leave that life that they are use to with mago mago money... one of them is Sokoto " if anyone have ever listen to Ayuba records there was one he praise the guy... sir k , sir k sokoto sokoto with talking drum .... they forget that many generation will still come that will need the existence of such company but we like to devour everything ...

If this woman just think rather than open my own business why can't I invest such money with dangote and be getting like 15% per year?

Some year back Otedola sell off his investment and re invest the money with Dangote today he's not bother with payment of staff and co just waiting for his agreed percentage and dey jolly his life ...

Is not that we don't have people that will open business in Nigeria that will employ more than 75% of graduate ... but the fear that the business might collapse within some years by the greediness of some few who are fortunate to be employed with such company make many rich people to just lay low with their money

Where I work the owner intentionally open a portal some years back that if some top manager want to buy shares they can ... some of the top manager do and he close the offer the reason is that the man don't want the company to close premature since those manager interests is with the company now and they are the one to also make decision they serve as vigilante no one fit do anyhow with contarct or so because if they over spend it will affect their dividend at the end of the year

SmartPolician:
Why is the UK experiencing unemployment?

Is it because all countries are now independent and there's no country to steal their resources anymore?

While American and Chinese companies are conquering the world, I don't know what exactly the British companies are doing.

If other country are just let be , naa only China will survive because the major thing that US have and forcing everyone to have is just US dollar, if every country are allow to have their wealth in other currency they wish USA will collapse like dick that just release

Why is dangote cement more expensive in Nigeria compared to other countries?

Nop in Zambia dangote cement is around 14k in naira, in Benin Republic it around 10900 naira, in Ghana is around 12700 naira

kaludestiny10:
I have never seen different categories of cement in Nigeria from Dangote cement. But from the picture above, there are different specifics of cement on display. I just hope Dangote is not shortchanging his country people.

Yes, the reason been that we Nigerian only go for the low price own ... everything you are seeing have different price and for different purpose ... there is cement mainly for making building block while there is one mainly for tiles ... like that

Please stop all these stories, they don’t sell again.

Why do you think Mount Zion film stopped making films with story lines like this?

These are the set of people who still believe that bible doesn’t get burn inside a burning building, if bible falls down from one’s hand one will run mad, a key attached to the bible with a line will point to the direction of a thief 😂

In as much as you are right you are also wrong ... God himself create good and evil so attributing every Good thing alone to him is wrong .... when Israelite about to leave Egypt... God harden the mind of Pharaoh.... that means Pharaoh don't want to run after them ... but God intentionally change his mind ....
Back to the Book of Moses ... if you have opportunity to read the original Bible with all chapters intact you yourself might deny been Christian.... because Christianity is a cult ... either you like it or not ..

Kobojunkie:
Na these useless stories dem use deceive your great-grandmothers, grandmothers, and mothers into engaging endurance mode in marriage instead of escaping for their lives from toxic/unfulfilling and unhappy marriages to embrace instead peace and contentment of being on their own. This is 2025, stop thinking that spewing the same ridiculous tales from delulu-land. Women are finally realizing that their lives are worth more than toxic, unfulfilling, and/or unhappy marriages.

Do you even read the story at all abi, just because you are not in any relationship make you bitter... read again there is no where Toxic or unfulfilled is mentioned ... the poster was not even saying anything about people that choose wrongly .... the poster was just creating awareness on some people that have it all but due to a little issue in the family they quickly find solace in outsider ...

In short the poster explain how it is easy for me and you to buy Data from our favorite Network like 20gb to 1Tb which is easy to do like an outsider but can the outsider own the Network provider

SisterAnn:
They have been cajoled, threatened and warned at the same time.

Even at that let PENGASSON create job too now

so the same obi wants to govern a crime scene?

U people should go n tell him to go n govern the angels he's not needed here

You they mind this people .... if you continue to say a derogatory words to the land you reside on you will surely witness miss fortune but they don't know ... Yes everywhere is in chaos but still be positive... if anyone like they should say anything worst thing to the country but no matter how me and my family will only witness the good thing of this land ...

You see that evil word people say "Let Nigeria not happen to me" is the reason most people that say it become a victim of there word. Nigeria itself as a country is an entity and she has her own spirit. As long as you it's inhabitants feels she (Nigeria) is evil just because of the actions of you the inhabitants, she will continue to use your words against you and make you the victims of your own thoughts about her.
Nigeria is not a bad country, it is you people inhabiting it that is bad and evil.

Many people fail to know the power in their utterances .... they think everything is just cruise .... they should ask themselves why do every US citizen do say God Bless America... not that all the citizen are enjoying the Country ooh but they still find need to pray for where they reside if it spoil them go still be inside it ..... I always say God bless Nigeria and my family ... if them like make them call the same country ZOO but when they witness what happen in the ZOO they should let us be and take it like that

SHIVA001:
Ajeh, women are likely to insult you First. God gave them sharp tongue

No let stop this perception.... God did not give anyone sharp mouth over other ... we all learn to be sharp mouth or to maintain silent when argument start it now ... no be God give them they learn it while growing up and no one try to caution them ...the same way men learn to be silent during any trouble

aquarius15febb:
If we’re being real, Nigerians dey love familiar brands. When it comes to phones, na TECNO, Infinix, iPhone and Samsung wey dey reign.

But worldwide, other brands dey trend big time.... like realme, Oppo, Vivo. For example, realme dey ship millions of units every year in Asia and Europe. Same specs wey Redmi dey offer, realme dey give too, sometimes even cheaper.

So the question be:

Why we dey always stick to only the popular brands?

Na lack of awareness?

Na fear of “unknown” brands?

Or na just say we no wan take risk?


Who here don try one of these “newer” brands before? Share your experience make we reason am.

The Issue is not about buying but how will you replace a faulty part... I get my Realme X around 2019 around 2022 from Aliexpress .it has a faulty screen since then I can't get a screen for it the one I'm seeing on Aliexpress is around 80k which I would rather add money with and buy another one

I'm looking forward to get myself either Honor X9C or Oneplus 10 or higher verysoon sha

donleo92:
Dangote should abide to the laws of the land..


He is been greed and a monopolists.

He can't have his way, just like he had in cement and flour. And killed other smaller producers.


Dangote is a Monopolist. Some one that wants to start selling fuel in dollars

Monopolist as how , the last time I check Over 70 company have been issue licence to start their own refinery how many actually fulfill it only one which is Dangote ....now ask what are they using the Licence for since they are not opening any refinery soon? They engage in Import of refine product .... so who is monopoly here .... sometime read between the line before you say some words .... Today is still the same Dangote that force the price of Fuel down ... PENGASSAN as a whole what is their benefit to common Nigeria... None at all except their pocket ... the same PENGASSAN that we have over the year but never say anything about the Country Refinery just because they earn salary from such place without working and you are here saying nonsense continue anyway by the time Dangote accept their offer and you and I are paying 1500 naira per littler of fuel ... just keep shut ni ooh

donleo92:
Dangote is really on a dangerous part.....


This man wants full monopoly on oil and gas in Nigeria. And most people ain't seeing it that way.


See union has to be formed. The government should call Dangote to other

I pray one day God will grant you that wealth that you need and the people you employ will frustrate your life out of it

MistyDense:
I know a lot of you will call me all sorts of unprintable names and would want to nameshame me.

My Elder brother died about nine months ago and his wife is about to Remarry.

They had been married for ten whole years, but unable to bear a child for 7years, until God blessed them with a beautiful and lovely baby Girl. We all celebrated and were joyous. A few weeks after childbirth, my brother became sick. What initially looked like an ulcer became something else, and he had to go under the knife. After the surgery, there were some Terrible complications, which resulted in his eventual demise. Most painful part was, he had just landed his dream job after five years of graduation. He was extremely depressed as a result of this joblessness until luck smiled at him. He was traveling round the world like he was going to his backyard. He was breezing in and out of Nigeria for official duties until the sickness struck.
Now it's been nine months, and she already made her intentions known to my family that she wants to Remarry. Meanwhile, the baby is just two and half years old.

As a woman, I understand how lonely and traumatized she is. I perfectly understand what she's going through but myself and my family feel it's too too early for this. We, her late husband's family didn't and have never interfered in her dealings. All my brother's properties are in her custody, the Businesses they co-owned are all in her care.

I thought she would have waited a bit much longer to do this, considering how much she seemingly loved her late husband. Meanwhile she's 38yrs old. Her parents have told her to wait for some time, but she wouldn't listen. But before making her intentions known to my family, we already suspected that she was seeing someone else, going by the way she was acting.

I'm now the next in command in my family after my elder Brother's death, but I'm also a woman and have limited powers. Even if I had all the powers, I still wouldn't be Able to stop her from doing what she wants. After All, she's older than me.

I'm really pissed now as she will be taking my niece to live with another man. She's marrying a man who already has two wives, making her the third.

What should I do?

Put your Emotion aside , no be your brother get the picking ... so the baby is still Young now ...so the woman is trying to move to the legitimate father of the baby

kettykin:
How about igbos reciprocating and issuing a ban on any yoruba parading himself in any part of igbo land as a leader or king or raising money without authorization for any traditional event or organization of any such events without authorization and approval, I went round the east and shook my head in disgust, yoruba music is openly played in clubs, lounges , bars , events in the east. Ndi igbo need some very hard training on self awareness, who approved such imposition of foreign degrading cultures in igbo land. Imagine going to a lounge in Aba, owerri and Enugu and hearing yoruba music or song from yoruba being played. Such aberration can only be described as madness

Like we care , if una like make una let them be, if una like make una tell them there nothing like such ... we have tells you people what we don't want if una like keep the one in your region ... we know the gimmick so we no they fall for it

bigpicture001:
Already u know all the equipment and things u can find in an office.... So use those information and create and escape route .. relay it let's read how u get out

Firstly the fire will surely be a class A Fire ... which are mostly combustible material ... if I can get all the glass windows in anyone of the office broken, I mean if there are 10 windows I must break all then close entrance door against the fire ... breaking of the glasses will not allow the smoke to build up it will always escape while I go low on the flow because hot gasses flow up.... then wait till rescue come in

silibaba:
Why dangote no use your strategy.

If you don't have stay humble. If you have be more humble and keep low profile.

There is different between Big brand and small brand ... I work with a company that engage with offshore servicing and some offshore safety training ... I doubt if anyone ever heard or see any advert from them but the money they make yearly no let me talk ..... the othe poster mention Bakery which many involve in how many people involve in what Dangote is doing??

Scholes007:
Propaganda. He chose to walk. Nothing like because of trump. It's funny how Macron plays his politics. All of us know how security details work.

See them bully sympathizer.... You will never see anything wrong now ... when a common police is stopping your visitor that you invite to your house but you decide to rubbish him

abimbola74:
This coming from Otedola affirms what I have been insinuating . Dangote will later show everybody hell, the analysis is so simple. Push every other person out of the business and have full control over the sector.

Wait Push other Person away as how ... long before Dangote get the License to build his own refinery... Nigeria government has release up to 50+ License for many company that say they want to open the same refinery be it Modular or Big size .... they are all using the same licence to Import fuel sighting the subsidy should be remove before they can venture into refinery Business.... Yet 2 years after Subsidy has been stop how many have come forward with their establishment?

No you are saying they want to push some people away ... People that never exist ...

Do you even know that Nigeria Generate more than enough Electricity for the country but the Problem start when we have separate company to distribute and another one to generate .... when Nigeria only have NEPA that generate and distribute our electricity are not this bad but see the mess we have ...

If Tomorrow now Dangote drop proposal to generate and distribute electricity to Nigeria tomorrow you will also say he want to send some people out of business abi.... or He decide to Buy Ajaokuta steel mill you will say he's pushing some people away abi

Try to Find out How many company have the Licence to establish refinery in Nigeria first

Kelklein:
Nigeria has to move forward.. we can't have some little group of myopic economic buccaneers hold everyone to ransom because of their pecuniary gains.. all these so-called Unions have done this for too long.

For those that said he wants to monopolize?! shey you all are seeing the Steel Industry now lying fallow.. that's billions of dollar Industry.. nobody would go and monopolise it now o.. if he 'shook' head now, they would go and start dragging with him and start shouting monopoly up and down.

why are we like this🤔🤔

Many of them are blind to opportunities and more so the reason why they are unable to flow with the new development is because they can't compete in a free floor market except corrupt enshrined one the want everything to be like they are doing Nigeria favour but they forget that they are in business for gain and also since there is no free money like Subsidy many are unable to do business as usual this affect them alot...

They want the owner of the business to be at their own mercy the same issue that affect the electricity in Nigeria .... Nigeria actually produce more than what we can use ... why can't we give the company that generate the power to also distribute while government regulate? As at now our electricity problem is not generation but distribution....

I like Dangote he outsmart them buy buying Tanker that can feed Nigeria Market
