Dangote will eventually have to bow to the pressure from the importers. They are a solid mafia and they know the game too well. There's a reason ALL the government owned refineries are not working. These importers and marketers control the industry and can ruin any refinery if they decide not to do business with that refinery.

Dangote need not bow to anybody's pressure as long as his products are cheaper or
at the same price with imported one.
The only organization capable of pressuring Dangote is NNPC and the marketers are
merely following its footstep.

Most of these importers get forex from CBN and sell in the black market and make huge profits. They also do what is called round tripping. They import petroleum product, and bribe officials at the department of petroleum resources, NNPC and the likes. They get the subsidy for the products they imports, let's say 30 million metric tonnes. They discharge only 10 or 15 million and then take the rest to neighboring African countries to sell. This is after they have been paid subsidy on 30 million metric tonnes.

This isn't the 2010s anymore.
NNPC is the sole importer of petrol as only NNPC has the forex(not even enough) to import it.
The marketers in this case are merely distributors. No marketer is being paid subsidy, they
buy from NNPC and sell at a profit.

The Dangote Refinery VP is a joker.
Why not also list the reasons why marketers are shunning Dangote's product?

shortgun:

Oga watch the video. Was he or was he not beaten?

Do you know how he got there or the people beating him?
Just think of how many scenarios where people are publicly beaten in Nigeria.
Thieves, cultists, thugs, government agents and even police get beaten under different circumstances.

The blogger assumed the beating has something to do with suicide because of where it occured.
No evidence.

This is childishly fake.
If they say importers, that may be plausible.
But marketers complaining of cheap diesel price that is obviously false
Marketers make their money from margins and not cost price.

In fact, a cheaper diesel will be highly beneficial to low-finance marketers.

Never trust blogger's headline.
It is all for clicks.
Let us wait until the real story emerges.

If those children no carry him type of forehead… I’ll support him not to pay any child support

Will you support him and go to jail with him too?

lampido22:
You claim custody of the child, yet you want support.

That is how it works.
The one without custody pay the one with custody unless they
are too poor to pay. Then the debt is carried till death.

Father254:


Don't say what you don't know. Just don't do court marriage and meet a dubious woman.

Unless na babymama level.

Take your own advice and stop saying what you don't know.
Court marriage or no marriage at all gives no advantage in courts when children's wellbeing is concerned.

If you are a poor man, you are safe and you can have as many kids as possible
and not cater for them.
But if you are rich and your babymama is educated, you will be forced to pay
child support by the court.
If you refuse, you run the risk of being jailed.

The only way to stay safe is to NOT have children.

okoroemeka:
I will choose to stay in jail than pay a gold digger my hard earned sweat in the name of alimony,this law is abused by bitter women and is the foundation of high divorce rate

It is child support and not alimony.
It is easy for a poor person to prefer jail over giving up money.
The actor has himself to blame for not planning for bad times.

GIFTEDPLANNERS:
The issue of the computer village is being looked to check all other markets in Lagos. Is computer village a market or individual landlords that rented office and shop space to business owners. We have such places in different states

I don't think you understand your own argument.
If computer village is not a market, then it is an illegal business place in a residential area!
That gives the Lagos state government the right to move it anywhere it likes.

Onanuga is either ignorant or being stupid.
Nobody is under any obligations to accept "invitations" from law enforcement agencies
in any country governed by civil laws.
The police only have the power of arrest with or without warrant depending on the context.

No need for explanations.
Just form a political party for indigenes only and get the indigenes to vote for indigenous candidates.
Problem solved.

Cuz,

Those are very simple rules which every responsible banny should adhere to even without being told ......

It's only a girl who wanna hit and run like they normally do that'll have problem with such easy and normal rules

If your intentions are pure, just follow...

Ignoring the fact this is fake.
How did you arrive at the conclusion that "na she lose"?
Since we don't know anything about the lady's social/financial status?

We are keenly observing the chess game being played with the lives of over 200M humans on the altar of utter greed, selfishness, and ego..

I wished we could all truly understand the kinder and petty games these guys are using our commonwealth and lives to play.

This is funny coming from someone who either doesn't understand or deliberately misinforming others.

Dangote can never forgive himself for venturing on this refinery project or even siting it in Lagos. But na God wey go catch all others like him catch am because he believed so well in his infinite "Any Government in Power" patronage and waivers.

This is further proof of my suspicions above.
Before engaging in speculation and crying on behalf of Dangote, try to understand the industry first.

Dangote is a private business person and deserves no special consideration from the government.
If Dangote did his homework, he wouldn't have any problem running his business since their is no
ban on exports regardless of the government in power.

What I find funny is that many emergency Dangote lovers never cared about Dangote's business,
many even hate it for "monopoly".

If Dangote cannot reach an agreement with NNPC on subsidy pricing, then he should go ahead and export all his products.
That's huge forex for the country anyway.

VC who appointed him in the first instance.

The university is not the VC's personal business.
I have no problem with the provost suspension or removal from the administrative role but
it is draconian to suspend a co-worker for non loyalty from a public institution.

The suspended professor was employed by the university and not appointed.

The Vice Chancellor, Lagos State University, LASU, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, has approved the interdiction of the Provost of the Lagos State University College of Medicine (LASUCOM), Prof. Biodun Adewuya, on grounds of insubordination, unauthorised disclosure of official information, actions prejudicial to the security of the university and the state, divided loyalty, and conduct unbecoming of a public officer.

Who exactly was he supposed to be loyal to?

600 BILLION USD!!!
That was the amount stolen by your ruthless uncles as at 2019! Stolen!!!

Remember this is 2024 after buhari, and also remember i was talking about total government earnings for almost 7 decades..

Oh, btw, the initial report was from "The Economist".

Dey play
https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/nearly-600bn-stolen-from-nigeria-since-independence-economist/%3famp

As I said, you guys make a perfect rube for the western propaganda machine.
Of course, they are very smart such that he outlandish claims are made by unregulated and
unaccountable non-profit and thinktanks(aka unofficial spy networks) instead of
official government institutions that can be challenged.

These organisations refuse to answer the most important questions on how they come
across their wild speculations.
What is the source of these funds, what is the destination and how they arrive at the real ones being stolen?
They expect you to accept their statements uncritically and they usually get what they want.

This reminds me of the missing $40/$20 billion dollar according to Sanusi which the media latched on to
without questions. Not a single person was indicted for even 1% of the imaginary missing money.

The funny thing is that these media houses that you take their words as divine are distrusted by at
least 50% of their host country's population.

When you have a genuine source for Nigeria earning Trillions of dollars, then, we can have a real discussion.


Hint:
The source of an article doesn't matter.
It is irrational to accept wild claims without evidence.

Content creator.

MadPolitician:
Nigeria has generated trillions of dollars both from oil and other sources of revenue. They have had everything they would have needed to build a prosperous nation, but what do we have here? A gigantic embarrassment.

No informed person will take you serious with the nonsense above.
Just like the politician, you rely on widespread ignorance to maintain your false expertise.

Tax evasion is a serious crime.. he should be prosecuted for it

It is Ortom's company and not Ortom.
A company is a person on its own unless directly managed by Ortom itself.

CLRF:


NAFDAC has the power to stop production and sales of any food and drug related products, so far it was meant to be ingested.

During registration, the manufacturer of the product will have to submit nutritional composition of the product, have a standard and approved facility for products.

Nowhere in my post did I say otherwise.
NAFDAC says the products are not registered.
That is enough to shut down its production and prosecute the manufacturer.

My grouse is with dabbling into "fake" miracles claims.
It is none of NAFDAC's business as such claims are unscientific.

Saintinoo:


See how you just disgraced yourself by trying to sound smart, you sounded like an illiterate alamajeri. What do you think NAFDAC is all about? An agency where you just bring products to be registered without due testing to know the efficiency of the products?

You think NAFDAC have not tested it and confirmed that it is fake? Una go dey call lawyer lawyer, like say na drama...

Imbe cile.
NAFDAC or any food/drug agency in the world cannot test for miracle claims.

In your extreme ignorance, you think NAFDAC will gather barren women and then
give them the "miracle water" for proof.


Immediately I saw "efficiency of the products" in your post, I knew exactly who I am dealing with.
I only replied to save some readers from falling for your gibberish post.

Next time when adults are having a discussion, just shut up and read. If you still don't understand, ask for help.

If your career/job is more important to you than your kids, please don't have kids.

Why not resign or shut down your business to prove that your kids are more important?

Well, only working parents of little kids can appreciate the value of day care.

Jokers everywhere.
'Deve' has always been illegal but it is impossible to enforce the ban
because of the risks to the defaulter and their properties.

Shadomaan7:
The new VAT is not for the poor but the rich. Let the poor continue to be poor, who rich epp?

Do you even know what a VAT is?

This press release should have focused solely on registration/non-registration status of the consumable products.
NAFDAC has no business with miracle or magical claims speculations.

A smart lawyer will make the miracle issue a red herring and may get the case destroyed based on technicality.

NAFDAC has already answered the most important question.
Was the product registered, NO.

Then the next step should be arraignment and prosecution.

This is what I find frustrating with government agencies which incompetently choose to dabble into irrelevant issues.
NAFDAC has no business with miracle or magic claims.

This press release should have focused solely on non-registration of the consumable products period.
No investigation required, just charge the manufacturer to court for non-registration with NAFDAC.

At the end of the day, a smart lawyer will make the miracle issue a red herring and may get
the case destroyed based on technicality.

NAFDAC has already answered the most important question.
Was the product registered, NO.
Then the next step is prosecution and arraignment.

The traders should be reasonable too. They are not the producers of the goods yet they are the one giving price to the goods they didn't produce.

Why not travel to each farm every month to source all your food needs.
It is not that hard to do.
Some of the farms are located in Sokoto, Benue, Plateau, Kwara, Ogun, and Ebonyi states.
With this approach, you will get the real price of each food item.

Urgent1Million:
Nothing surprising if you've read "Rituals, blood and death: the spiritual side of Aso Villa" by Reuben Abati.
Ajuri has resigned.
And it's the best decision he would ever make.
Aso Villa is a deadly occultic enclave, and with Tinubu, the situation is even much more dreadly.

Reuban Abati is either intellectually challenged or just want to further confuse the rubes
who throw away all their reasoning when spirits or gods are mentioned.

If Abati is reappointed to serve another president again, he won't think twice before jumping into the "occultic"
Aso Rock once again.
