∆ How many rich you get for Nigeria beyond the corrupt politicians that you want to cancell the few ones that you have? I repeat you have a poor man's mentality.
∆ Or you don't know that only the rich can pull up the poor?
∆ The rich have lessons to teach the poor but you want to eliminated them. Bros, you go poor tire.

1. Your argument is that because Nigeria does not have a lot of rich people to begin with, it shouldn't have standards where the rich are concerned? Wow..by this logic of yours, those who got rich by kidnapping our kids, selling the organs of some while selling others off as sex slaves should be celebrated. So long as they are not part of the corrupt politicians, we ought celebrate them, right? 🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐

2. So a poor farmer who feeds from hand to mouth is fed by the rich. Without the rich, he can't survive at all. 🤐🤐🤐🤐

3. Yes, because they are rich .. regardless of how their riches were obtained --- they automatically have lessons which we should all blindly accept. 🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐

∆ Nah so you nah go talk if Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg were to be Nigerians. Nah envy you for use finish them. You obviously have a poor man's mentality !
∆ But America celebrated its own riches. Don't you hear of America protecting the big corporations? Because they are the creators of employment in America and not the govt. Grow up man !

What the fk is wrong with you attempting to compare Bill Gates and Zuckerberg to these Nigerian touts of yours.

2. Nobody should celebrate rich people who got rich riding on the blood and sweat of their people. That is nonsense. Enter American jails and you will find many of the so-called job creators who taught themselves gods as a result. Dem full that place and rightly so.

Again, so you equally believe Dangote's man who released the OP in response to what the standards man, Farouk, said yesterday does not understand how the industry either, right? Cause that is pretty much what your response implies.

■ The Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, at a plenary on Friday, said protesting like Kenyans youths did would not solve economic hardship in the country.
‪”The people of Nigeria, your crying is right. Your complaint of hardship is right. But is the solution found in carrying placards and lining the streets? Is the solution found in comparing a country less than us? The reference that has been made to Kenya and the rest of them, they are smaller countries to Nigeria. We are a giant of Africa, we must provide a solution that is better, sustainable and lasting,” Mr Kalu said.
In her contribution, Fatima Talba, representing Manger/Potiskum Federal Constituency, said that the SSS should invite instigators of the planned protest for dialogue.
“I believe there are people instigating this protest. There are people behind this protest. DSS must work hard to find and scout to get those instigating or the leaders of this protest so that we can have dialogue with them. Let’s talk to them. We know the anger is so very much. We have to do something about it,” Ms Talba said.

Imagine the kain talk from an elected senator. She actually suggested SSS be brought in in order to force what she pretends would be a negotiation.

According to reports, Dangote does not want that at all. He wants to be the only one in all of this..

Oga Dangote without being part of the cabal you can not build such a refinery.

The regulator is right.
What grounds do Dangote have to demand sole right to the Nigerian market?? Let him compete against the importers.
This practice of banning imports to stimulate local industries has never worked in Nigeria. We have tried it over and over from the 1980s till date, it didn't solve our problems, it's time to try a different approach - open markets.
Even fresh in our minds is the rice situation. The greedy local producers usually just take advantage of the govt initiative without the consumers benefiting in terms of options and pricing.
Let Dangote compete for the markets fairly in terms of quality and pricing.
Even before now, I have heard it directly from a diesel supplier that the quality of Dangote's diesel is not yet good and he can't supply it to his clients. This supplier is even a Northerner.

He also said Dangote Refinery had not been issued an operating license and that AGO from the refinery was substandard.

So you don't know he has been importing crude from US and other countries?

if he has been importing crude from the US for a while now then why is he now blaming some of cabal for his inability to obtain crude from Nigeria? By the way, why go all the way to US when right here in Africa there are other sources of crude apart from Nigeria? All of them na cabal too?

The stories are all over the place and most of them quote him, Dangote.

■ And if the individual decides to cook at home, what about associated costs such as gas? Or the government expects people to go back to using firewood?

Cook for which home? what gas? There is no money for that ooo!!!

Governor Umo Eno's proposed 18-storey building in Lagos is more than just a building. It is a plan that has futuristic value in mind. It is an attempt at diversifying state economy, have multiple strings of income, begin to position self in the emerging real estate market in Nigeria and ensuring that unused assets of the state are put into judicious and productive use.

Jayhome24:
I know somebody will still comes up with a crying conspiracy theory. You publicly applauded somebody for approving 70k minimum wages and two days later started talking you were threatened with petrol hike ba? You are mad seriously you are mad. I knew those enemy of Nigeria called obidients will somehow creep into the matter then raise a dust as usual but unfortunately too late. If you are ot happy with the 70k go to court.

The was not 2 days later but later that same Thursday night, after the meeting with the president, that he revealed this.

nedekid:
■ I do not think i am the one that question should be directed to.
My own is to buy as a consumer and not have to suffer having to carry out expensive repairs on my equipment. As I said, I do not know the source of the diesel if imported or local, all I know was that it messed up my vehicle.

Wait a second....Shouldn't you alert the seller of the quality problem and maybe seek compensation from the sellers or producers?

Dangote avoided saying sulfur ppt in his diesel. He simply said a lower amount. Can we get an independent lab result?
As I wrote earlier, I recently bought diesel that messed up my vehicle, just few kilometres after buying a full tank of 100l.
Was it imported or locally made diesel, I do not know. The diesel looked clean and transparent. In a red bucket, I could see through the diesel to the bottom of bucket. It messed up my injectors.

Please explain how Dangote is able to operate and even sell his diesel in Nigeria or anywhere else if he has yet to obtain a license to operate said refinery in Nigeria.

deenee:
■ Govt didn't invest 19billlion dollars in the refinery.

You are right. How many billions did Emefiele say that Nigeria in fact invest in the refinery? Was it $13 billion instead?

The following was recorded of Emefiele

“Today, total loans outstanding have dropped from over $9 billion when this project started to $2.7 billion. This reflects the astute credit worthiness and commercial capability of the group and its chairman, Alhaji Dangote.
“I must at this juncture appreciate all the participating local Nigerian banks, who did not only partner with the project through effective financing but were keenly aware of the importance of the project for our nation.
“They provided immense support and exceptional understanding, even when interest payments and principal repayment had fallen due.” https://www.thecable.ng/dangote-has-paid-back-70-of-loans-taken-to-finance-refinery-says-emefiele/

deenee:
■ How is he lying? They don't want him to operate filly as he will expose the rot in the industry. Why aren't our refineries working? Is it Dangote that is causing it too?
■ He already has options to export aviation fuel to Turkey and some other countries in the middle east yet NMPRC refused to give him approval.
■ Since yall say his diesel isn't good for Nigeria, let him export it to where they will buy from.him, you still refused. By the way have you eaten today? If no I have a carton of dangote pasta, sugar and other food items for you. Cheers

The other refineries are not out blaming the same people Dangote dey blame though.

2. So what you are saying is that even the news reports which claim the following
● Dangote Refinery had shipped Jet fuel cargo to the EU, Dangote has never shipped anything out from his refinery
● Since April 8, Dangote has exported six jet fuel/kerosene cargoes, all of which have been delivered to Senegal, Togo, or Ghana.
are false?

Dangote refinery marks milestone with first Jet fuel shipment to Europe

3. Interesting!

What the fk? You use your dad to judge all of Nigeria with? Are you for real? 🤔

adabaraabdul:
■ If he's a scammer, let the Government prosecute him, not all these campaign of calumny. We need the only refinery we have to work so the price of Pms can come down.
■ I DON'T know Dangote personally nor is he my family member. My interest is for Nigerians to pms @ a lower price and the other way forward for now as it seems, is with DANGOTE.

Prosecute him for running the script probably given to him by the government to run the minds of the Nigerian people with? Do you think the government that engaged in oil swaps to obtain the purported 13 billion dollars that it invested in the refinery is not aware of what is going on?

2. As is, the cost fo fuel is still being subsidized. Dangote plans to sell his diesel at around Naira 1000 per liter. So, I ain't sure what you are talking about. https://www.dangote.com/again-dangote-crashes-diesel-and-aviation-fuel-prices-further-to-n940-n980-respectively/

Teymanhenry:
■ I am aware of that. Bringing back subsidy should be what Labour should be clamoring for not a new minimum wage.

Wrong! The labor union DOES NOT represent the needs of the Nigerian people but rather the needs of the labor members, and workers. It is instead the Nigerian people to agitate for such things as bringing back fuel subsidies, bringing down hunger, etc. This confusion of concerns is what led to Ajero making this foolish mistake and dooming his fellow members for the next 3 years or so to more suffering.

Teymanhenry:
■ If the subsidy is still in place, it will be better to take us back to where we were. After all the well-being of the masses should be the first and most important priority of the president.

Subsidy na money. Them dem take am, divide am up, and are now taking loans out here and there. Where do you think the money to do subsidies like before go come from?

koning:
The FGN should forget about stabilizing trhe Naira agains other currencies. The petrol and Diesel price is what drives the crazy inflation. The govt. urgently need to stabilize( Reduce) the price of both. The Tomato, Pepper, Cow and Goat meat sellers have no business with Dollar. But their goods have to be transported from Far North to the South. Transportation costs a lot. Fuels should not exceed N200 per litre. It was just N146 less than 2 years ago.

You mean it should borrow some more to stabilize the price at this point?

press9jatv:
Nlc have already ascend to the 70k new minimum wage already. I hope in the next 5 years under Tinubu government, it will reach #150k

The value of the money is already dropping as we speak as the Naira edges closer by the day towards Naira 2000 per dollar. Hunger is loading and NLC members will not be spared the suffering.
