This thread illustrates one of the problems of Nigeria. Many Nigerians are not good at analysing problems. They reason with sentiments rather than common sense.


The thing that pokes a huge hole in this silly reasoning is the fact that this type of thread is not new. We've had similar threads about MTN, DSTV and so on and so forth.


This guy says that Dangote sells cement at a cheaper price in Zambia than he does in Nigeria. Therefore, he says, Dangote is the problem of Nigeria. What kind of reasoning is this??


The real question is, "Is the cost of production in Zambia the same as the cost of production in Nigeria"?

Why would Dangote, DSTV, MTN, etc choose to make their products and services more expensive in Nigeria than in other countries?

Shouldn't common sense tell you that you need to factor in the cost of electricity, transportation, water, bribes, salaries and wages, generator, fuel, etc and study the differences in cost of production between the various countries before you can make an informed opinion?
