DANGOTE, THE SICK, ADOPTED CHILD OF NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT!*

By Sheikh Juma

Earlier this week, news broke that Aliko Dangote was moving 60% of his family investment to the US.
Two days after, we saw him in Tanzania promising to increase his investment in the country because he wants to support the new president, whose business decisions have been investment friendly.

I am happy for him. He has sense.
But as a businessman, I am not sure Dangote is a model.
Don't take my word for it.

Let the data speak:
In October 2016, Dansa, Dangote's fruit juice company packed up because it wasn't making profit.
It closed shop, owing its workers 6 months salary.
He also started a $13 million tomato processing plant in March 2016 and closed shop in August 2017, saying it was because of "importation of tomato paste, shortfall in the supply of fresh tomatoes and power failure."

It is funny that they didn't consider these three factors before commencing.
So they started a tomato farm that will supply fresh tomatoes, then do some kind of backward integration.

After spending $3million to set up a green house, the farm died.
It has been starting and stopping since then.
No money, no tomatoes, no factory.

In November 2017, it was the turn of Dangote noodles to go under.
In his words, they wanted to "focus on pasta and flour."
He sold the noodles factory to his biggest rival, Dufil, makers of Indomie. It was like Coca-Cola buying a Pepsi plant. A business abomination.

Have you ever wondered what happened to Mowa Water, Dangote's bottled water?
Well, it went down with Dansa, or soon after.

Then his Dangote Flour was acquired by Olam in 2019.
He left the noodles business to concentrate on flour. But even the "commitment to flour" wasn't enough to stop Dangote Flour from baking and burning.

At the start of the Ramadan fast, Dangote Sugar wrote a petition against BUA Sugar, asking the FG to place trade sanctions on BUA for *"undermining the National Sugar Master Plan."*
In English, he wanted the FG to tilt the competition in his favour again by grounding BUA.
BUA claimed that he was being blackmailed because he refused to hike sugar prices at Ramadan, like Dangote did.

Here is my point: wherever and whenever there is competition, Dangote would either crop out or try to change the business rules in his favour using his government connections.

He couldn't sell *Table water* because he was competing with *pure water sellers;*

He couldn't sell *noodles* because of *Indomie* :

He couldn't sell *Flour* because of *Honeywell, Golden penny etc;*

He couldn't sell *Tomato* paste because of *Derika and other pepper sellers* in the market.

He couldn't sell *Fruit* juice because of *Chivita, 5-Alive etc.*

*Dangote would only do well where Government policy is in his favour and competitors are given a bad hand by Government Regulators.*

I read a Reuters report some years ago (and it's still online) which revealed that at the height of the naira-dollar crisis of 2016, Dangote bought at LEAST USD $161million in hard currency direct from the CBN between March and May 2016. This amount was 90% of all the USD sold by CBN within that period.
All other manufacturers - 2,000 of them - got the balance of 10%.

He bought the USD at the official rate of N197/199 while other businesses bought from the black market at N320.

Reuters reported that Dangote made over US$100 million from this Forex deal.

Dangote has always been the favourite side chic of every government since the return to democracy.
In 2003, he was alleged to have part-funded Obasanjo's re-election campaign when Atiku was doing anyhow.
Then he befriended Yar'adua, Goodluck, and Buhari.

On the day Goodluck, his former zaddy was licking his wounds from the electoral defeat of 2015, Dangote was alleged to be clinking glasses and performing a lap dance for Buhari, his new zaddy.

*But why would such a "successful businessman" be thinking of moving 60% of his family investment to the US,* and even adding to his capital investment in Tanzania which is already about $770million?
The answer is in Buhari.

In 2015 when this administration took over, Dangote's net worth was US$17.7 billion.
Right now, it IS US $11.1 billion.
Meaning that in 6 years of Buhari, he has lost about 40% of his net worth.

Project two years forward:
what would his net worth be in 2023? My projection is that he might be worth AROUND US $8 billion, or less, depending on what happens to his refinery, and what happens in the security mileu?.

*With all the favours:*.
>Tax exemptions,
> Special status,
> forex allocations,
> special limestone mining licenses, etc,
Aliko's money is still melting like cotton candy on a hot summer afternoon.

*He has now activated his Plan B.*
Can you blame him?
Sometime last year a short video was leaked by his side chic and we had the rare privileged of seeing a billionaire butt.
Now we know that even Dangote himself is a side chic, an unfaithful one at that, moving from patron to patron: Obasanjo, then Yar'adua, then GEJ, now Buhari.
On another level, his zaddy was Nigeria. Now he has two new zaddies: the US, where his funds will be protected from melting, and Tanzania where Madam President will help him recover the 40% that he lost in the hands of the Nigerian economy.
Those who are in doubt that NNPC funded Dangote Refinery 100% should go and ask Ex Minister of State Petroleum Dr. Ibe Kachikwu who and who got the $ 25 billion contract that he raised alarm on after he returned from vacation. They immediately removed the office of the GMD from his control and later he was forced to resign as the Minister of State for Petroleum.

You want to know who funded the Dangote Refinery, go to the Ministry of Finance and call for Dangote’s file and tell me even if you give a goat in suit the same concession, the same waiver or the same opportunity given to Dangote, tell me if that Goat won’t be the richest being in Africa.

You want to know how the Dangote Refinery was funded, go to Warri Refinery and Kaduna Refinery, find out who was given an exclusive right to lift Low Pour Fuel Oil (LPFO) for a long time. NNPC claimed it was for Dangote Cement Factories. In fact at a time that of Kaduna Refinery was so exclusive to Dangote that no other marketer was loaded. Every other marketer was referred to Port Harcourt Refinery.

You want to know the sponsors of Dangote Refinery, Go to Kogi State and inquire how many trucks of Coal Dangote moves out of Kogi State everyday, minimum of 200 trucks daily without even paying royalty to the State or Federal Government. Are we not aware that Coal can be an alternative to Petroleum and that through coal liquefaction or coal pyrolysis you can derive various Petroleum products such as Diesel, Gasoline (petrol), LPG and other Petroleum products?

You want to know how Dangote Refinery was funded, go and find out how he petitioned President Goodluck Jonathan as soon as President Yardua died against his competitors in the Cement business like Ibeto, Madewell cement, Bua Cement and others that represented Licensees from the six geopolitical zones. His petition caused the withdrawal of two Licenses from the 6 companies; the Bagged cement and the Bulk cement import licenses leaving them with only the Backward Integration Licence only after he had used the same Federal Government to acquire cement factories even at that he was still importing and others were not allowed. As a matter of fact, the other Licensees lost their fortune as some were still offloading cement at their various jetties when Nigerian customs pounced on them never to bring the Cement into the Country but to ship it back to their countries of origin. This was when the competitors had succeeded to bring down the cost of cement to less than N800 per 50kg bag and Dangote couldn’t compete and wanted to monopolize the cement business at all cost.

You want to know how the Dangote Refinery was funded, go see how he petitioned the Federal Government against the few manufacturers of cement over importation of Clinker which is a major Raw material for cement production the moment he built his Clinker factory at Obajana Kogi State and the Federal Government jacked up the import duty on clinker from 10% to 50% causing those that were managing to compete with him to shutdown their cement factories.

You want to know how Dangote Refinery was financed, go and ask Federal Government how much Dangote realized when they shut the land boarders against every other importer and exporter during Covid 19 lockdown but allowed only Dangote to use the Land boarders.

Finally you want to know how Dangote Refinery is funded? Go and ask the Governor of Kogi State why he had to fall out with Dangote, that for 10 years of Dangote operation globally, Dangote made over 7 trillion Naira out of which over 5 Trillion Naira alone was from his establishments in Kogi State.

You still want to know how Dangote Refinery was funded? Nigerians funded Dangote Refinery without knowing it.
Please let us continue to share.
IS TIME FOR RENEW HOPE.

Whatever. But what he wrote about the ghost rail project in Abuja, is it true or not? That's what we want to know.

Your friend is cooked remember Chicago is the deadliest city and the the jail/prison system is truly hell on earth.first of all he should worry about prison rape or turning to sumbody's bitch.he will probably b stabbed or beat up badly dat one nah sure banker,if he manages to survive after his incarceration the prison will put a detainer on him meaning ice is coming to pick u up and transfer u to their custody.the will not deport u immediately but will ask if u want to b deported immediately or go see an immigration judge(this one nah jus delay tactics after all the process wit judge he go still order ur deportation).while fighting ur deportation u can b in detention for 6months to 1 nd a half yrs.Make I give u expo the food for immigration detention nah dog shit.jus tell them to deport u asap so u can start ur life brand new.the downfall of a man is not the end of his life,God go see u thru my brother.when u do time for americas prison nah the worst experience of ur life ever so coming back home will make u appreciate naija more...................from true life experience...................stay away from crime boys nd gals

You are just a scaremonger. You know nada about the American jail system, Chicago or otherwise. So stop proselytising about it.

All France colonial heritage and assets being gradually dismantled by each country's military power.

This is very good, as France has been too oppressive over those nations, and too greedy and selfish in acquiring and marshaling these colonial nations resources for their own national prosperity.

It is time African countries should use and transform their individual natural resources to build and prosper their nations, instead of being sold cheaply to prosper the whitemen's countries.

Bunch of thieves trying to save their faces by bullying their accusers.

They should rather conduct an internal probe of themselves and mend their evil ways.

Shameless rogues all.

Morbeta11:
Take it easy mannn.....People have rights to agitate, the hunger is too much and needs no too much grammar. The common man is feeling the burnt....

The hate filled mob making nuisance of themselves, attacking supposed supporters of Tinubu on the internet, are not the hungry ones.

The hungry ones do not have money to waste on data, feeding a morbid ego, bent on a meaningless tribal and political propaganda.

Lolz419:
Lolz
A court will disqualify Obi for joining LP late but leave Tinubu with a criminal forfeiture and certificate forgery case along side Shettima double nominations 🤣🤣
U must be high on Tinubu Chicago cocaine 😁😁

You are #Lolz419 abi?

September 16 is so near, and I will troll you when your Obi is given the red card by the court.

Dapo Abiodun, the Ogun State Gov. is always controversial for very wrong reasons.

Lolz419:
🤣🤣
Mumu say international community and intelligence agencies 🤣🤣
The world is waiting for the disgrace of the drug pusher

Like the courts are disgracing your ellupee candidates one by one, like a pack of bad cards, removing them from their ill-contested posts.

All eyes on the judiciary indeed!

Your eyes will soon clear when your Obi is fined for misconstrued allegations against our President by the same court your are straining your eyes on.

mariovito:
They had to take precautions before Nigerians storm the yard.

But why restrict your account if you have nothing to hide?

They restrict their account because of cyber nuisance like you.

Yeah, Gillette World of Sports was one of those omnibus sports shows.

There used to be ABC Wide World of Sports, The Champions ( "They run, they jump, etc) in the early 1980s, then George Michael Sports Machine, Gillette World of Sports and Trans World Sports (I have been trying to remember that name for a long time) in the late 1980s and 1990s.

Old man, what a memory! May you live longer.

Chelsea not so impressive so far in this game, playing against a second class team like Luton. No finesse, no master touches to showcase them as a first class team. Only Sterling running and down like a fowl on heat.

Hope their gameplaying actually improve as the season progress.

Fake sympathy after killing him.

The end of Putin will be terribly tragic.

Kaiser20:
The news is too pepperish

We are master pepper eaters.

Bring it on.

Ecosystem4u:
Nwamara should rule them if she is competent, no room for tribal sentiments. Period!

Yes sir. We will do so immediately sir.

When their fake prophecies failed, they will be looking for excuses to justify their fake visions.

Nigeria shall surely be great again despite the wishes of its enemies.

Bigchristo:
Don’t be a fool by constantly trying to do the same thing over and over then expect different results, that’s where Obi comes into the equation, imagine you supporting a political party in power since 8yrs+ without notable achievements and expect Tinubu to make a difference I laugh you in 3D, Obi did his best for Anambra and I am not expecting him to change Nigeria over night but a sane person will never make same mistakes Twice

Just Dey deceiver yourself talking about those worshiping their oppressor is the APC and it supporters look how ministers were disgracing themselves bowing down to greet a president none of you sees nothing wrong with it but make one person just shout Peter Obi oooo he is worshipping him una mumu nor too much? Guy try get sense oo na so you go waste your data defend this bastards and you are passing through hardship is like you are under a spell

Calling an old man and your country President a "bastard" shows your irreverent antecedent and evil manners. So I need not argue with you further.

Goodbye.

Asgard73:
Yoruba people are rally funny 😁…

Why it dawn on them that propaganda has failed.. they changed tune ..

This people eh

“… we leave the other person because he be Igbo..” can’t stop laughing at the poor scripted nonsense

Yoruba don too collect .. told them sentiments and gibberish won’t get them nothing

All eyes are on judiciary already.. nobody even care about the useless kidnapping..

No one ask questions

On their own .. they have to own up

When the judiciary now declares Tinubu as the legitimate winner, of which he is, what will you do? Set Igboland on fire, since you can't do more than that?

Bigchristo:
Na your father and entire generation dey mannerless, we can’t accept your ignorance as a wayward citizen of this country, you will be amazed if you manage to travel out across the borders then see for yourself how a country with loads of natural resources look

At this time and age you still play politics of hate instead of looking at a way to make your country great again

So you believe it is your Obi that will turn Nigeria to Dubai overnight?

If he has such Midas touch, why didn't he turn Onitsha in Anambra to Little London when he was the governor for 8 years.

Keep deceiving yourself and continue worshipping a fake messiah.

theamazonguru:
Do I have to prove anything you?
For your info, I am yoruba myself, so there is no tribalistic point to be probed anywhere.

I stated it as it happened.

This is a faceless forum.

I have nothing to gain or loose by faking a story that never happened.

Okay. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

theamazonguru:
Not in all cases.
I have a family friend who are Yoruba.
Their daughter wanted to get married to a man she loved and really loved and respected her, but her mother said never, because the man is Ibo.

So eventually she got married to a Yoruba man, the parents were happy.
But guess what this lady was not, it turned out the man he got married to is a beast. Never respected her, never loved her.
She got sick to the point of death, yet she was the one slaving away, no rest even when the husband had no job, it was the sick wife that was working to pay bills and run the family, the said yoruba husband her parent desperately wanted her to marry was just a dead beat husband. Only good at preaching in church but at home never there to care for his sick wife nor give a helping hand.

She died eventually, even the night she died, she messed up on her self right in the car, the stupid husband was only concerned about his car, he kept complaining, oh I just washed this car oh.
Imagine.

May we not meet the wrong spouse.

Fake story just to prove a tribalistic point.

The season has just started.

Benwallt:

Goal against Chelsea.
