I love your analysis.
It would have been better without insult...
Cheers!

Sometimes you have to give this NL mob a dose of their medicine.

Ever8090:
do they import the heavy equipment every hour?...I stoped reading when I saw this point

You shouldn't have bothered to comment then... Sherlock
They don't buy the equipment every hour but they practically run the equipment all day you genius. Do you think they just turn on and off SCADA systems in a cement plant like cooking gas? Do you know the process of turning on and off a cement kiln? Damn sure you have no idea

kpompey:
You are the biggest fool. Who thought he knows all when he knew nothing.With an estimated gypsum resource of about 8.5MT in Nigeria and a local production of 100,000 tonnes per annum Nigeria has the potential to meet its local demand in gypsum and therefore Government cannot justify its importation. You, Dangote, Bua and FG will never know peace. The pain and suffering Nigerians are facing will return to you and your families by the grace of God. Omo irankiran.

Okay, Nigeria has the otential to meet local demand but in reality is Nigeria meeting local demand for gypsum?
That your mama with muscular arms like iron-bender na her be fool because she suppose abort you as a useless fetus.
For the statement in bold poverty and hardship go finish your papa .

My sex stimulant no pass to smoke one joint of weed...anything else is a NO.

Check ur home.. Ur parents n u might be even staying in face me I face u house.... Max 2 rooms

Nonsense

Her parents live in the hinterlands of her village, she lives in a cubicle which does not belong to her.

JeffArmani234:
I don’t want to call you a BASTARD

You don't want to call her what she is?

SweetDipBenny:
I heard you were raped by your father and brother. Now i understand your pain.

Her father and brothers.

bluecircle470:
Shut up and stop saying nonsense

Your pea size brain cannot even come up with nonsense ... a goat has a higher IQ than you will ever muster.

Badgers14:
Why would anyone working in Nigeria be paid in foreign currency?

Do Nigerias working in US paid in naira or Euro?

Are expatriate working in UK paid in dollars or yen?

Because in Nigeria anything goes. I guess you have not heard of consultants in NNPC and CBN earning in dollars before. Amosun earned same as a consultant under Diezani, it is illegal but it happens in Nigeria.
Your last question is actually dumb, Nigeria as a country has it's reserves in dollars because the naira is barely worth the paper it is printed on.

Tradepunter2:
Men STFU..... So all of a sudden the need to import teg equipment came up Haven't these equipment been on ground for a while?? Isn't maintenance the daily monthly and periodical cost associated with the equipment..... Una go just to justify nonsense.... Enjoy your suffering na nonsense

Go tell your mother with muscular arms like iron-bender to STFU. If your papa dey suffer me no suffer, mumu.

kpompey:
So gypsum is not available in Nigeria.Dangote spokesman. He is a greedy man. Virtually every thing you listed up there can be sourced in Nigeria, and nothing warrants cement price to surge to 16k

BUA cement is more expensive than Dangote cement, same for LaFarge.
Control your envy of Dangote.
Where can you source gypsum in commercial quantity in Nigeria Ode?
Go and set up your cement factory and sell for 1000 naira.
Even pure water producers don add money cos of cost of production. Banza!

Ologbo147:
really what changed masterchief0847? If dollar was already 1350 as at October last year and diesel was 1200 yet cement was sold for 4800, what changed?

Cost of production changed...believe me. Why are local manufacturers closing shop? Why did PZ and GSK leave Nigeria to Ghana? Cost of production.

dettolgel:
You are asking him to do research

This is Nigeria if you had to put little effort into breathing most of them would have been dead by now. And you want such people to go through the pain of doing research which involves using ones brain. I tire for you.

Actually he should have visited those key industries as part of school excursions. But you and I know the state of our education system.

You've said it all.

BluntCrazeMan:
Then stay on the discussion.

Which discussion? You need to have several seats Okonkwo .

YorubaKing:
Baba, you've NOT answered the question. OP is wondering why the cost of a nation's natural resource is this expensive to even its local market.

So you're telling me the cost of excavation and logistics is the major driving force behind skyrocketing prices? 🙄 Even to local markets?
Guy, these are beyond natural forces of macro economics, abeg.

When a nation headed by bloodthirsty Vagabonds-In-Power oils the wheels of a certain capitalist fool pretending to be a businessman, this is usually the result.

That fool is a dollar billionaire and the richest black man on earth...you that is not a fool is battling with existential crisis as a result of hardship .
The poor hate the rich syndrome is strong with this one.

Caaz:
If only you can see the entity you re wasting your time arguing with,you'll surely apologize to your fingers.


Most of them are not worth your mentions

Apologies to my fingers already.

gbagyiza:
You spoke as someone who has the knowledge in cement production. I guess u work there or you have someone who works there. Another factor u did not mention is the scarcity of the product as a result of reduction in production capacities by the cement manufacturing companies which also contributed in pushing the price up within a short period, but I believe Government can do something to bring the price down.

My uncle was a manager at BCC and also Ashaka.

Blakjewelry:
shhh all these are silly excuses. One is one of the major factor of production in that sector is diesel and we haven't seen a major sharp increase lately.

You people deserve what is happening, running to give excuse for every silly increase just to say I no tell una?

Nigeria is for everybody I won't derive joy from it pain.

We produce garri here for years then all of a sudden the price keep jumping astronomically you will tell me it because of dollars.
Nigeria is the only country were the rules of both basic and complex theory of economy don't hold.

I know of someone who imports a hp laptop for 120k when dollar was 460k 2 years ago and he is still bringing same laptop for same price today when dollar is 150 because price depreciate over there as time goes on but when that laptops gets here people do sell for 270k infact as them year say dollar increase, they automatically increase their old stock. We are just too wicked as a people.

I said cost of production...the dollar issue is just a part of the cost of production. Nigeria is not for everybody sir, if you believe that then you will also believe the lie that all men are equal.

victorazy:
Oga na lie!

Na Northern elites with their tools just to frustrate any government not headed by them.

That's why they were destroying farm lands of other zones, na only them can obtain license to build and own filling stations. These are key points that holds Nigeria, food, security & oil.

Is a long time planed something.

Oga you are a stacked illiterate and the bold also makes you a liar or a ignorant farm tool. Adenuga must be a northerner. Why am i even arguing with someone who can't tell the difference between "it's" and "is"?

Otiwaikuku:
The major raw material for the making of cement is mined here in Nigeria. The machines you mentioned is not always imported and workers to handle the machines are Nigerians.I can’t see any genuine reason why prices should increase by over 100%. Cement was once sold for 5400 few months back and now it’s over #12000.There is no bases to justify the increament.

The machines are manufactured in Nigeria i guess ... you clearly have never been to a limestone quarry .

BluntCrazeMan:
Mista-man, what exactly is the point you are making?
Why are you just dancing around many points.??

I thought we were arguing about how the DOLLAR-BASED part of the production-line of cement became the major reason for the increased price of cement in the market..

How come you're noe talking about diesel again??
And even bringing GSK, and PZ, and bread-bakers, and pasta producers into the discussion.??

Did the price of bread and pasta rise to 300% within the last two weeks too (Just the way cement rose 300%)

We were arguing? I had no idea Mista-boy

HellVictorinho6:
Suicide requires more courage than u think

Oya go ahead and drink sniper, courageous one.
That's cowardice and not courage...except you are talking of the cartoon character 'Courage the cowardly dog'

bizzibodi:
Are u saying Nigerians engineers/technicians cannot service those mining equipment:crushers,kiln,bulldozers,dump trucks,conveyors etc those hoards of $$$$ guzzling expatriates has to be rallied upon.

Yes, they can't because they were never taught theories of such ... and am not kidding.

Irony1:
Dude hope you know gypsum is also produced locally.

Yes but not enough to satisfy even 20% of the demand for the local market hence the importation.

thatigboman:
are u serious or joking?

Both

Will this stop the fossil from going for medical tourism abroad?

Feldie:
all your mouth is government government government. This is why everyone keeps fleecing you because they know you will leave the real culprit and start attacking government that are chilling in Abuja without even the slightest care about you. If Nigerians start boycotting these people hiking prices, they will stop but they know we don't have sense

Me too am in Abuja chilling in my own house in Games Village if you doubt come and see for yourself.
Unlike you am not a government lap-dog and i prepared for this mess long enough.
Dangote doesn't formulate government policies, your tin-God Tinubu is the one doing that. Shege banza!

To wish naija policeman RIP dey hard me cos same person fit don send innocent people to their untimely grave.

Obainoman6:
So local government chairman is a government too abi.

No na footballer. ...Banza kawaii

Feldie:
continue to defend criminal billionaires while they fleece you to stupor. As at October last year, dollar was already 1350 and diesel was 1200 yet I bought cement for 4800. What has happened between January and now that warrant x2 or even x3 increase in price? Diesel is even cheaper now

How much Dangote fleece from you?
Control you envy of the rich else you will never be rich. Na only Dangote dey manufacture cement for Nigeria? Mkpi.
You too continue to defend the clueless government you support, you go feel am
