It shows with the fact he's so stingy a girl was ready to blackmail him to get $30,000.

Obasanjo, especially Goodluck Jonathan, and Buhari have so spoiled our man he only expects the trend to continue. Would he have ever finished the refinery without the direct favor and support from the administrations?

Is it not time that Nigeria starts demanding more from Dangote? Have we not given him too much already? Has he ever been held accountable for all the lives lost as a result of the accidents by his trucks around the country?

Note: Capitalism is not entirely a problem (partly), but it is a question of how, where and when does it fit and apply with us, realistically to us.

Firstly, Dangote is an agent that's deeply in a situation that's very un African. Dangote has done and is in the process of doing something that even those who so-called championing it do not do it these much.

The thing is, there are two economic systems most popular in the world today. SOCIALISM and CAPITALISM.

African societies have always been more of a communal socialist systems. And you notice that about all of the freedom fighters and independence heroes in Africa have almost always been socialists, and then Africa got its independence.

Dangote is a so-called capitalist, but Dangote has benefited so much from Nigeria that even core capitalist countries like the USA would never allow. We know this as it shows with their very own Bill Gates, who at one time almost went to prison for his business approach in the tech industry, and had to step down as the Microsoft head and focus on his "charitable" foundations before he was able to make a come back as a respectable personality among the American populace and government.

Dangote has taken so much from Nigeria and gave back so little most people can not even point to one benefit of having him as Nigeria's "African richest man". Aside his overpriced, monopolized, and high casualty business of Cement business.

Dangote has taken so much that even the State where he gets his major resources, limestone from Kogi State, for his cement business have bitterly gone to war with him as he is reported to not pay them the meager 10% in tax for decades now. But because of how easy he has it in Nigeria and so corrupt a personality he was able to use the former administration to completely quiten his wicked dealings and even the entire controversy.

Nigeria has given this man, Dangote, so much that only him holds 5-7% of the the nations entire wealth as per GDP. For what, what had he given back really?

Now he wants to flawlessly and freely take over the countries number one source of revenue. And note, fuel prices will never drop even especially as he's entired the industry. Never! He's just going to keep demanding more and more from the already strained and very poor country.

Capitalism was only and is still only able to be sustained to this level in the West thanks to the slavery, and the colonialism by the West. Capitalism is only able to raise the standard of living of the average West today thanks to the fact others are still poor, like African countries, so that they may be rich. Capitalism is never fair and the capitalists are never just more hardworking or just too intelligent than the rest. It takes a lot from the majority to continue to feed the greed of the fringe minority.

Nigeria, and by extension Africa will never, ever be like the West. We can be better, just like the Chinese, only if we learn the benefits of their systems but incorporate with our own systems in our own distinct climate, atmosphere and society, which is so strong it determines the different races.

Dangote should succeed, but not at the expense of the rest of us.
Partly thanks to Bill Gates, any average American can own a computer easily. But how has Dangote made the lifes of any Nigerian easier in any way?

babasolution:
Africa's biggest problem is not the whites or any evil system, it's their gross child like irresponsibility that prevents them from emancipation.

Africans and Africa simply needs to grow up

You have a very good point. But addressing one problem does not mean one should completely ignore the equally important challenging ones, you will end up never solving any as a lot of the times they all linked.

Take for example Borkina Faso, the country evicted the Western troops, who are the direct causes and sponsors of terrorists in Africa. Then the African country are building their own military capabilities with more credible international partners and effectively gaining and taking back terrorists control areas.

Borkina Faso is also stopping any previous mining deals with the West and with the strengthening military they can control their own mines and resources, while also rejecting any IMF and World Bank loans which are really a neocolonialists trojan horse for control.

Africa is the last strong hold of White supremacy and exploitation because it is the last conquered territory of the Europeans and most closest to Europe and the West geographically. But I can see awakenings happening.

And for the record I am here in Nigeria and will never travel or even visit a single Western or Arab country. Any country with a history of the exploitations of Black people and Africans will I never set foot in even on a paid free trip. That blood shed shall not be endorsed by my presence.
But I can go to Russia, China, Indonesia, other African but non Arab countries though.

babasolution:
The platform you using to preach this was built by white people.
Until blacks wake up from their irresponsibility, they'll be trampled on
Blacks are irresponsible, especially the majority tribes blacks,so they'll keep being trampled on.
Like a child that refuses to grow up.He or she will keep being treated like a child despite they being adult.
Africa will continue to be whipped till they grow up

Firstly before you have the right to talk about the "failings" of African people you should make sure you've contributed to the society first too, else you're just a loud hypocrite.

But you Should also educate yourself enough to realize the "White man" did not single handedly create the "platform" I am using. Their are contributions of every races and peoples to the creation of the phone, internet, rockets, aeroplanes, medicine every areas of life you can think of Black people are even now contributing to things. Infact, you're able to hold the phone in your hands thanks to the contributions of a Black man in chip technology making the telephone portable. Along with plenty in all areas of life.

But if you are only allowed to exist based on your contributions to a so-called "platform", then you do not deserve your life, first of all. And if that is the case then 99.99% of the entire humanity and living things do not also deserve life, as only the most tiny percentage of any groups have any direct contributions to most things. You see how st@pid your logic sounds?

Then again Africa has come a long way, it only gets better for us from here, we've seen it all and have survived it. Now is the time and this is the generation to start getting really educated and enlightened about what Africa and Black people can do to change things for ourselves and start fighting back head on.

People that think like you, people with such little knowledge and ideas about solutions, and people with such low self-esteem and passion can take the back sit quitely.

Just as the Bible said, "we wrestle not against flesh and Blood but against principalities and powers". So also as Africa we are in a system they refer to as "RULES BASED WORLD ORDER".

China realizes this and has broken that chain, Africa does not.

It is a deeply racial based world order and system. The average White person deeply hates the Black person. But it is us who were wrong and it is expected that Africa should have these rage and hate not them.

That is why I made the post with this video.

My immediate past post tried to shed like about the reality of the world we live in and the reasons why we as Africans are still unchanged.

Sadly, but thankfully a situation went viral in the US about the killing of an Black innocent woman by the Police. Note that these is a normal thing in America and elsewhere by the law enforcements on Black people. Observe these two videos.

Notice the fact the White muscular guy did everything that can be said to deserve shooting. threats, insults, shouting, unclothed, big and intimidating, overreacting even in the night, challenging the police for a fight.

But still they didn't attack him, they were patient with the guy. But they shot and killed the innocent Black woman in cold Blood.

We are living in a very racially-centered world. That is why they have to make sure Africa MOST remain poor. Ibrahim Traore of Borkina Faso described it very well in the video below even as he exposed that they see Africa as the "SLAVE EMPIRE".

Africa directly subsidizes the life style of the West and is directly responsible for the Wealth of the Whites generally. We are poor so that they may be rich. Niger has perfectly exposed that with the eviction of France.

The most potent and effective weapon of the West is the Western main stream media. Americas most strongest weapons are not their military industrial complex, it is Hollywood, it is their media organizations.

You are only a tool to them, a means to an end, you've always been so for more than five centuries.

A post was made on front page about the countries with the highest military budget in the world. I was dissapointed at how many Nigerians have this god-like views about the USA and the West in general, with all the praises under heaven and all the good impressions for them.

This mentally is an intentional design put in your head.

This guy on YouTube did a very excellent job dissecting and explaining the position of Africa and the way and reason we think the way we do, he used the movie "Wakanda forever" as the perfect model for this situation.

Africa and Black people remain, generally, the way we are because of the way we think and ways we perceive and respond to issues concerning us. It is the reason why the average Nigerian want to run away from Nigeria and the same reason we steal our countries' resources to store abroad.

I put videos by others on YouTube cause some things are said and explained way better on videos, but I see an awakening that continues to grow day by day, stronger and wider among young Africans.

Nigeria used to be a very awakened and well informed country, with staunch and very deeply Pan-African populace. Today it seems far lost and what is left are defeated and highly White-worshipping, Western admirers, very uninformed and unsuspecting populace are the current assembly of Nigerians.

Please watch and listen to this guy.

Standing5:
That's physical life expectancy. In nigeria, many are heaven bound so out spiritual life expectancy dwarfs theirs.

Hahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahah. Lol.

See response!!
So you believe you're the only one made for heaven?

Indeed, some people will see shege on earth and still see shege after.

hisgrace090:
Military 1, democracy, 0.

It is not even Military vs democracy thing, it is Nigerians' view point and perception of themselves vs what they do not know.

Our media has already been infiltrated by the West and we only know from Channels, Arise, AIT, NTA and co what CNN, BBC, Blumberg, Reuters, and co put out. We regurgitate Western propaganda and sit on our verandas thinking we've come.

Suffer suffer people.

If "White man" says "sit down here", they say "yes Sir!". Their Pastors are praying for them to run away from the same country and go meet the Master in his own country so that they can "earn in foreign currency".

"What about your country?",
" eh, I will love it from afar!

Nigerians just too funny no be lie! Lol

Don't get me wrong, yes of course I am complaining.
But personally my life has totally transformed this year, it is unbelievable it's like a miracle, still mid twenties. I am my own boss, looking to expand the business to a full blown chains of businesses in time.

God has decided to bless me personally and the economy seems to benefit me, exponentially.
But even Dangote can never be more infamous and prosperous than his country, they'll still demand his Visa, search him and even delay him anywhere he goes, maybe even deny him Visa. He said it not me.

Oga you nko?

Mali life expectancy (58.94yrs).

Borkina Faso life expectancy (59.27).

Niger Republican life expectancy (61.58yrs).

Federal Republic of Nigeria life expectancy (52.68yrs).

And these other countrys', even though more youths than Nigeria on average, life expectancy is still growing.

What if you're not doing any better than other African countries in reality?

A post was made in the front page about Borkina Faso and many Nigerians as usual undermine, underestimate and generally wave aside, with a single hand, any progress being made in the country.

It is my responsibility to do what I can to open the eyes of Nigerians about the state of the country compared with elsewhere. I am not bragging but you can not find a post I've made (almost 300 so far) that's far from the truth or even ultimately true down to the details. Like even the exact prison sentence Ekweremma and wife would be given in the UK. Or my position about the well ochestrated Propaganda against government subsidies in Nigeria and the reality we see as it plays out in real time.

SO.

Nigeria has a life expectancy of around fifty three years (53yrs)

Borkina Faso on the other hand has life expectancy of 59.27, almost sixty years.

The country is among the fastest growing economies, not just in Africa, but the entire world. Together with Mali, Niger Republican especially at the tipping top.

The essence of life is to first of all live it and survive it longer. Longevity. Then what you do is grow.

When you hear your very favourite celebrity, actor "die so soon", so unexpected, know it is the country we life in, life expectancy.

Is your country growing? Even the IMF and World Bank confirmed Borkina Faso is. But Nigeria just slide down to not just second or third but fourth in GDP in Africa, but with a population almost double (2×) that of the second most populous in the same Africa.

Laugh with me, in despair, here!

The people didn't elect him but they come out in tens of thousands to show him support and love, will you go out in tens of thousands to receive Tinubu, whom you voted, at the airport? Oga Sabi man!

I received a lot of insults in my immediate previous post for suggesting Nigeria and Africa at large changes our official language away from Western and Middle Eastern ones.

Borkina Faso is the latest country, After Mali, to demote the use of theFrench language in their country. Mali did it over a year ago and they've not burned.

So whatever you do, go on YouTube and watch this guy. He's the youngest leader of a country in the world, and even as he's a military leader, getting power from a coup, he has the highest and most massive support from not only in his country of Borkina Faso but is easily the most popular African President.

Just a snippet. He explains everything about World politics, the position of Africa. Especially the very popular symbol which is the triangle found in plenty Western insignias, which we often consider to represent some secret society. In this video he explains what the triangle really means and stands for to the West.

Now, what is even more funny is that while these small Sahel countries are kicking out Western countries and refusing agreements from the IMF, World Bank and co. While even the situation in Kenya now should give us all the hints we need to see where these "monitory" organizations are gradually taking us. We in Nigeria and comically signing every agreements in the Books like this new "Samoa agreement".

What is even more funny is that a majority of Nigerians believe that their good old former colonial masters have $150 billion dollars to dash them.

Where do you think today's Europe and US will get these money to dash each Country involved in these agreements? Why will they even do that? Come people think and do not support the selling of your future for some delusional imaginary "billions".

Change your mind and the way you see the world today, dare Africa, it is not us who need the West, it is they that need us for as far back as more than five hundred years, even now. Do you remain beggers for ever?....

Sharpsharp00123:
did they force u to create this thread too?

Shebi na yorubas b Unity beggars, when did Seun turn to nairaland beggar?

I actually insulted your entire existence but deleted the comment so as to be more civil.

I have been trying to delete the account for more than a month now but Seun or his mods intentionally removed my deactivation bottom as I announced it before taking action.
But with the Nairaland online presence lately I know why they made that cowardly decision as many people have done same or no longer come online.

I am not your Igbo, favourite enemy. And this topic I consider very crucial that's why it is here. And Seun should know I will continue to try and delete this account no matter how long it takes.

Remman:
This is one of the dumbest post i've ever read in the history of my existence. Op needs to study language first or to make it better, linguistics to better understand how important communication is to the intelligent species. For one to blame corruption or evil practices on language is... in fact, let me reserve the words!

Corruption is actually one of the last problems bedeviling Africa. There are root causes to Africa's issues, corruption is only a symptom of the real problems.

But I know Nairaland is the last place to bring this discussion. You all are mentally static. Very comfortable in self-delusion and the illusion of savety

Just because the Arabs taught you to bang your head on the ground with them doesn't amoe you one of them, just because you ignorantly blab in a Western language "properly" doesn't put you in their league.

Since Seun and his mods have intentionally deactivated my deactivation button I will wait till they undo it. You can't force someone to remain online in a forum against his will and still decide what opinion they should have.

I will be brief.

One of the reasons for the very high underdevelopment in Nigeria and Africa at large is because of this factor...

When you look at Asia, when you look at Europe, even the middle East. Take a look at every continent and region in the world and you would notice Africa is the only place where the vast majority speak the language of their colonizers.

Frence, English, Arabic, Portuguese, Spanish, you name it! Africa is the only continent and Black people are the last race still favently, diligently and fanatically holding on to the language of their supremacist, imperialist, racist colonizers and enslavers, from the Westerners to the Arabs.

Africa has been under siege, Africa has been at war for millenniums and centuries, from the Arabs, the Europeans, Westerners. Africans and Black people are the only group and race of people actively fighting for supremacy and domination of every other races and cultures, even against themselves, for the control and benefit of all the others. The Europeans/Westerners, the Jewish, the Arabs, even as we are beginning to see now for the Asians.

If Nigeria, and by extension, the entirety of Africa and much of the African dominated Caribbean, will start by reverting to our own local languages, first changing what language we think in our minds with, what language we officiate with, what language we plan, scheme and gossip with, we will begin to effect changes to our minds and national planning as it becomes difficult for everyone else outside our own group to decipher and understand what we're doing and by extension sow seeds of discord and confusion. It will give us a sence of self preservation and self interest.

Already every African is largely and generally multilingual, a polyglot, so these changes is already very easy.

Nigeria should completely remove so-called "english" language as our main and official language, Nigeria most make official the three main Languages in Nigeria, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, with pidgin and Swahili as secondary languages.

English, French, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese and all these Western, Arab and non African languages MOST GO. Africa today is the second largest and biggest continent in the world. There are more English speakers today in a single African country than their are all of the British people, there are more French speakers today in a single African country than all the French in France and likewise Portuguese. A Northerner and African Muslim is more loyal to the Middle East and the Arabs than his own country and African people.

Africa and Africans have no self interests as our loyalties, interests and views and self pride and dignity has all been shared up by everyone that has enslaved and colonised us. That is why you're so interested in Palestine, Israel and Western well being, interests, ideology, survival, affairs than your own.

You lack any self preservation and self interest because you do not listen to your indegenous self speak.

Be very careful with older women!

The person I bought business from is in the very same predicament. The guy had to sell off his establishment and run back home relocating permanently leaving the wife and kids behind. Children he isn't sure are all his as he promised to do DNA test when he becomes capable. The last born looks more like the former married "boyfriend", who visited on the dedication and gave her fifty thousand in the husband's presence.

The man even though quiet and peaceful, but takes different women and sleeps with them at the establishment and almost never sleeps at home. Everyone critizes and condemns his behavior (even I) without hearing from his side making it one of the reasons he relocated.

On his last days in the city he told me only a glimpse of the problems the wife gives him and it made me greatly sympathize and pity him, she cheats with her former married "boyfriend" and sneaks out leaving the children behind. Doesn't allow him even sleep on the same bed as she, insults and demean him. But outside you'd think she's spotless.

The same woman began disturbing me for money after the husband she never appreciates relocated, I blocked both of her numbers.

We as a society most begin to listen to the man's side of every story, some women are highly guilty, pretentious evils.

Two weeks later and still I can't deactivate!!!

No matter how long it takes I will keep trying and deactivate this Nairaland account!!

So after more than a week one can't still deactivate an account on Nairaland?

I don't know why to deactivate a Nairaland account has become a piece of work even days later. Oga Seun you need to fix the deactivation button.

So we now have to wait for "a week or two" to deactivate accounts? I will wait.

If there was any rule broken maybe you should identify iand point it out for me and then ban me for as long as you want. Why go on quitely and delete my hard work without giving any reason?

Has Nairaland also been taken over by the Jewish? Is that why you always make sure to phrase and fashion posts to fit the narrative of the Israelis? Can any meaningful discussion take place in a one-sided vacuum?

Do you really think you're right and I am wrong so I do not deserve to have an opinion?
Isn't that the same thing you did some time ago before the elections when you took down a post I made criticizing and exposing a video about El'rufai? And even Naptu2 argued with me, but now where is the El'rufai if my post was a misinformation? how far is Tinubu taking Nigeria and Buhari brought Nigeria since you have better judgments?

That is how you fashioned Nairaland to be a tribal, ethnic, gender and religious battling ground thereby over shadowing the real intelligent people and topics for discussion, and sieving out and away those who really know what they're saying and knowledgeable.

Thank you then, I will now take my time and copy the important posts I made so far and delete the account.

But why should I not be brutally honest and speak the truth harshly? Of course, yes my personal life is just getting better, I am seeing so much opportunities now more than expectations. Especially for someone who started from below the bottom, also never even knew his parents, still at mid twenties seeing so much and far more progression than ever and more than most.

But even if my personal life only keeps getting better as it is, why should I not want the best for Nigeria as a whole? Why should I be blind to the rest of the majority who live in glaring misfortune and abject poverty, always begging you for mere money to eat one plate of food. You live better but almost everytime you see people and you can clearly see the pain and hopelessness in their eyes, so much misery, lack and need. I am not Dangote, but even Dangote, albeit very greedy, can not cater to the massive poverty in Nigeria.

But you look outside Nigeria and you see many smaller and even newer countries actually making visible gains, strides and improvements. Yet ignoramuses who're absorbed in there delusion, ignorance, tribal jingoism like cavemen will sit behind a cheap phone, in hunger and fear for their own lives and safety, to insult other countries. What really do you have that you're so proud? What do you have that you're so outspoken and judgmental? How really are you or the country Nigeria better than Niger Republic?

And so we most be honest, sympathetic, empathic, remorseful and intelligent enough to know there are big big problems and your tribal chief in office is holding you back and causing great pains. Ten years ago and even now this warning is still much more relevant today, do you really think "suffering and smiling" continues perpetually?

Nigeria is at a very shameful level, it only gets worse but thank God I do not have any part in it or support this woeful abysmality.
