Don't blame the landlords (house owners) in Nigeria, blame the tax master President that foisted himself on Nigerians because of Buhari's inefficiency


To build a single storey building in Nigeria today requires a minimum of 110million Naira, this does not include cost of buying land.

Now tell me how you want a house owner to recover his investment if after using such exorbitant amount to erect an upstairs and he collects say 800,000 naira per year as rent? It may take him 50 years or more to recover the money he used to build the house?


Nigerians should direct their anger towards the zero performing owomida government of Tinubu.

Landlord also have his own living cost to bear, and the only way he can recoup is through his house for rent

Stop talking nonsense! Were these houses just built yesterday? Rubbish

I'll take Deji serious when he invest his own one billion dollars then allow someone to be playing with the investment like Ping pong

Wallade:
You pitched a situation whereby the shutdown by PENGASSON can affect the ability of the companies engaged to supply Dangote Refinery crude oil, you said Dangote Refinery could sue those companies for failure to deliver.

That is the reason I called your attention to "force majeure" clause in every of such contract. This "force majeure" can be triggered by either the company or Dangote Refinery in the event of PENGASSON strike disrupting their ability to deliver on the contract.

PENGASSON gave a short notice. The law doesn't expressly state the length of the notice.

I hope you have been educated.

Short notice indeed! Wake up from your sleep

Ohhhh,, really? What about apc forming parallel government under goodluck Jonathan?

Honestly,, Jonathan really fall hands,,he for pack all of them with their smelling agbada n babarigas for jail,, heaven wouldn't fall..

Stop spewing trash. Name the individuals and their portfolios with proof

Wallade:
You still have not read about "Force majeure" or you deliberately don't want to see the point.

Any of the parties to any contract can declare "Force majeure" in accordance with the terms and procedures stated in the contract.

"A party to a contract can declare force majeure if an unforeseen, external event makes it impossible for them to perform their contractual obligations, provided the contract's force majeure clause allows for it. The declaration must be done according to the specific terms of the contract, including the event's definition, the notification period, and the required details about the event and mitigation efforts."

In other words, Dangote Refinery or the Contractor Company can declare Force majeure if the contract could not be fulfilled due to labor strike which is a condition beyond either party's control.

Educate yourself first! Did any of this companies declare a force majeure? No. PENGASSAN just shut down everything overnight without notice. The law says you can't just go on strike overnight. You have to give notice.

ExudeLoveToAll:
It's not only dangote that owns that refinery, NNPC is a shareholder

Educate yourself and stop misleading the public

Stop acting like a kid. Dangote has the controlling shares and dictate whatever happens to the company. Minority will have their say while majority will have their way.

Wallade:
Do you know what is called "Force majeure"?

Go and read about it.

Oga, stop talking nonsense. Force majeure has to be declared before it can come into effect.

ExudeLoveToAll:
Who told you dangote is the sole owner of the refinery?

Are you a shareholder? Even Emeka and sons Enterprise is owned by Emeka, not his sons. No matter the share agreement between the shareholders, we all know Dangote owns the refinery

Zionmdde:
And the shedding of tears have just begun
I thought they said pengassan cannot do anything
Small talk ooo, tears everywhere

It's like you don't read to comprehend! Dangote did not sign any agreement with PENGASSAN! If those agreements are disrupted by PENGASSAN, Dangote can sue those companies for breach of contract. So you can see that Dangote will ask those companies to pay for its lose.

This is the reason I support Dangote. Someone will just come out to say "strike" when he/she knows nothing about the investment

Peter Obi Refers to Oba as Brother: Disrespectful or Not?

A congratulatory message from Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi to the new Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, has triggered debate online about culture, respect, and politics.

On his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Obi wrote:

> “I warmly congratulate my dear brother, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, Arusa I, on his installation as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland. His ascension to this revered throne is a celebration for the people of Ibadan and a source of pride for the entire Yoruba nation and Nigeria as a whole.”



While many praised Obi’s warm words and emphasis on unity, the phrase “my dear brother” has divided opinions.

Some commentators argue that calling a first-class Yoruba monarch “brother” amounts to a breach of cultural etiquette. In Yoruba tradition, monarchs are regarded as sacred figures and custodians of heritage. According to this line of thought, equating the Olubadan with a political colleague risks trivialising the throne’s reverence.

Others, however, see no disrespect. They point out that Obi and Oba Ladoja share a long history of friendship and political collaboration dating back to their days as governors. To them, “brother” reflects personal closeness, not an attempt to diminish the monarch’s office. Supporters also note that Obi’s broader message was filled with respect, prayers, and admiration for the Olubadan.

The debate reveals a deeper tension: should public figures strictly follow cultural protocols in all settings, or can personal bonds and modern expressions coexist with tradition?

So, what do you think — was Peter Obi’s “my dear brother” a mark of humility and familiarity, or a subtle show of cultural insensitivity?

The salutation is in order. Ladoja has just been coronated. He was a brother in politics before the coronation. Therefore, Obi introduced him as a brother first before exulting him as an Oba. Henceforth, Obi has to be formal

Mr. cardoso and cbn pegs the exchange rate. this stat is relevant for only importation. an increase of less than 5%, six years ago, but the exchange rate was 600 or less.

What you should be asking is what was the reserve as at May 29, 2023, how much was ways and means and how much investor funds were tied in the country on that date.

Has Sowore ever held an elective position or had a political appointment ever in his life in Nigeria?

Why should anyone be bothered if he has a property in the USA worth $500k?


The document shows the property is in the name of two persons, the second name Opeyemi O Sowore is Sowore's wife. A property co-owned by two persons cannot be unilaterally declared by one of both parties.

Go school, study well, expand your knowledge base, you guys said no. Instead, you chose to defend politicians that steal and are looting your future.

This is to show that he's a blackmailer as claimed!

When you ewer governor, did you not use convoys complete with sirens and police escort?

Same you that even deployed convoy of jeeps complete with police escort to move #250 million from Anambra govt house to your private office in Apapa, Lagos.

Why is this girigori such a hypocirte?

Don't mind him, he's an hypocrite. Someone that bought 400 SUV's for royal fathers now want to be frugal! Pray tell! What has royal fathers got to do with government? 😯 Did the Atlanta mayor also bought 400 SUV's for royal fathers? Since you want to compare rice and pin

There are Unions in all big oil firms you can think of, they are all privately run.

Those big oil firms are public liability companies. They're different from Dangote refinery. He is the sole owner.

donleo92:
I understand your point sir.


But monopoly on the oil sector is what Dangote is fighting for just like he did in the cement factory.


And that's bad.


Allow workers make a choice

I don't believe Dangote has any monopoly. Also, workers have a right to make a choice but that choice has to be before they're employed. In some company, you're given a form before entry. In this form, you'll tick a box ☑️ If you belong to a union or not.

donleo92:
Dangote is really on a dangerous part.....


This man wants full monopoly on oil and gas in Nigeria. And most people ain't seeing it that way.


See union has to be formed. The government should call Dangote to other

Union is good but in Nigeria, it has been politicised. For example, ASUU may have issues with government, NUPENG that has no issue with government will say they're going on a sympathy strike with ASUU. That doesn't make sense. NLC will wake up overnight and say workers should go on strike for something that concerns maybe one person. Strike is now being used as a political tool. No one will Invest $20 billion and allow one man in his bedroom who did not even invest a kobo to control the invest

This coming from Otedola affirms what I have been insinuating . Dangote will later show everybody hell, the analysis is so simple. Push every other person out of the business and have full control over the sector.

Do you know what's called "rent seeking"? That's what DAPPMAN is doing. They store product in bulk and add their commission. With Dangote business plan, DAPPMAN method will not work because it will increase the price to the end users. What Dangote is doing is not monopoly but cutting corners.

Open this.amd.read for yourself..it is a.press release from DAngote himself....dnt bother trying, u cannot know more than me... including about your wife and girlfriend....my name is NOAH

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.dangote.com/dangote-refinery-begins-delivery-of-cng-trucks-for-fuel-distribution-initiative/&ved=2ahUKEwjO4YHJwOmPAxXwXUEAHZM2LUYQFnoECDoQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1iuBCwZnuygilYsypuHGev

The link you posted makes no sense! No where in that write up did Dangote say he was not ready for maintenance of the CNG trucks. Like I said earlier, you lack depth. You don't expect Dangote to tell you about the supply of spares or maintenance culture of his company. He never told you about that of the cement section! Why do you expect him to tell you about that of the refinery! Or you think he bought the trucks second hand! Or that he doesn't have a transport department? Oga! Oversabi no good! Mind your business.

bigpicture001:
Your reply greatly expose that you have not done business before.. take for instance.. go to anyone who sells provisions and also recharge card.. u will notice that once u give the trader the money for the card.. she keeps the money in a separate space ND not same as the rest of the provisions...

If u know why she does that, then I don't HV to explain to you why already installed infrastructure for another section of a business cannot function as same infrastructure for it's other branch if business.... So go to your street provisions store woman and ask why...

On your he already manufacturers the trucks.. this also exposes the fact u only get news from nairaland.. aside this forum, u dnt seek to know anything else..

Dangote imported all of this new CNG trucks for his petrol distribution purposes, including it's tankers...

So say another thing again.. I will b online till 12pm to read ur responses...

Oga, you lack depth! Do you think someone will go into a turnkey project without plans for maintenance and spare supplies? Really! 🥺 Mark my words there already exist a complete package for the CNG trucks. Stop taking medicine for another man's headache. Oversabi.

For better understanding, George Moghalu is the candidate backed by Peter Obi for the coming Anambra state governorship election. The bridge in question was completed and commissioned by Governor Fashola at the same time when Peter Obi was governor of Anambra state.

In 2023, Peter Obi used the picture of the same bridge for the cover page of his election manifesto. In 2025, his protege is using the same picture again for his governorship campaign. Not even a single picture of any legacy project done by Peter Obi while he was governor was found suitable to use for Moghalu’s campaign. They still had to come and steal the picture of a project in Lagos for their campaign.

There is also a bit of similarity between this Lekki-Ikoyi bridge and the ongoing Lagos-Calabar coastal highway. When the APC administration of Babatunde Fashola announced the award of the suspension bridge for about N29Billion that year, folks mostly from the south east made so much noise against the project. Several threads were opened on Nairaland to condemn the project just like they are doing to the coastal project now. However, they could barely wait for the bridge to be commissioned before they started using it to shoot films and documentaries. Now, both their messiah and his protege are using it to campaign in far away Anambra. By 2031 when the coastal highway is completed, don’t be surprised to see Peter Obi using it to campaign for his dead on arrival presidential ambition.

.. I am a stake holder of this trucking process, but not for a petrol haulage firm.. instead it's for a container of goods only haulage services..if u must know, my company manages about 13 truck haulage services nation wide in the delivery.

After listening to the billionaire business man announcement of free truck delivery... I immidiately went into my books .Now let me let u into some. Of the non avoidable cost , so you guyz can judge

To run this services efficiently, u need to have the following working smoothly

1. Conttant purchase of motor parts which are extremely expensive.

2. Remuneration to drivers, and driver assistant

3. U have to set up regional repair workshop as it is more efficient than towing all damage trucks from wherever location down to. Lagos...

4. There are support team u must have which are not drivers, they stay at the administration office ND run the logistics, they include. PR, managers for planning, supervisors, tech people for tracking not vehicle, accountants for accountability,

5.U also need to have a fleet of jack-up drive along trucks which goes to nearest location to tow damaged truck..

6. For fleet as large as his, he need a team of lawyers in case..

7. Again, that he uses or produces CNG gases doesn't mean he doesn't bear cost of the fuel...that cost is also added to total cost..

Now after all and all, do u now genuinely believe Dangote will be giving out a whole very tedious and very expensive process of logistics to marketers just for free..?

Best chances are that he has calculated all these through his experience in same activity on his cement sector and he has included same into the cost of his fuel..

Now u can counter, if u think otherwise!



Lest I forget, there are lots of support staffs in his large scale enterprise, staffs like ,welder, electrician, engine repair guyz ,painters etc..these people for a scale like him will be upto 500 staffs

Dangote has a truck manufacturing company. Also, most of the items you talk about already exist at the cement section, therefore your points lacks substance.

motymop:
This country is very funny and compromised. MC Oluomo is close to Tinubu and his children are in the US army as serving soilders. And the man is the head of the transport union in Nigeria.

This country called Nigeria is not a serious one, do they not understand espionage and sabotage.

How can the child of the official of the Road transport in Nigeria be serving in the US army.

The anyhowness of this country will be it's end.

See jealousy 😭 Please tell! What is the official title of MC Oluomo's office?

I am just tired and heartbroken. For me to have access to my wife for sex is so difficult. I work hard to ensure the family is fine and even try to do some chores in the house as I am able to.

Right now I am trying to configure my mind to forget about sex, just continue to serve God and remain a decent man. I am good looking so it's not a case of my being unattractive. There are many beautiful women I relate with that are willing to be in bed with me but I am a Christian. I am so frustrated now.

It's either my wife is pressing phone till forever, or she has one night prayer, or she is tired and wants to sleep.

Married men, how do you handle this situation?

A Nigerian man should not be complaining about this shit! Our forefathers gave us solutions to this issue. You either marry more wives or divorce her and marry another. If these two options are not for you, then get a side chick ❤️
