UjSizzle:
They're lovely

There's this view I keep hoping to capture in the morning: The water, boats and those highrise buildings (uba, Elephant and one other building's visible) in the horizon with a faint glint of the rising sun on them from the bridge.

Then there's the fishing village just off third mainland bridge in the evening. I don't know what that area's called-- close to Unilag.

Oh and there's the white unudentified birds always perched atop the bamboo sticks in the water. Nice view

And those yellow flowers along Ogudu road.

Oh well... *sigh*

Read and comprehend

Nigeria was the largest producer in Africa.




I can give names of Cocos producers from Ogun,Oyo,Osun and Ondo, non of them are billionaires.

Unlike cocoa were you have lots of producers and exporters, Alhassan Dantata Monopolize the groundnut business.

Groundnut pyramids were the invention of Alhassan Dantata.

Dude it's best for you to stop deceiving people and quit smoking Wikipedia because it's dangerous to your brain... Just before you and your likes term my knowledge sharing with with you chest beating, its on record that sir Louis provided the car queen Elizabeth drove when she visited Nigeria...
I wonder where your richest man was then that he was no where to be found...

Go search for that documentary and watch so that you don't keep celebrating your ignorance on NL... Thank yhu

Jarus:
Smh. So that someone provided the car Queen Elizabeth drove made him the richest Nigerian?

Lordzouga was removed. Debosky was removed. Ajanlekoko resigned. Yamakuza resigned. Mynd44 resigned. Ishilove resigned.

The only active supermod left is lalasticlala and that is because he is the only paid supermod remaining. The rest just pop in once in a while and leave.

I wonder why they keep resigning?

Alhaji Sayyu Dantata

Sayyu Dantata studied Mechanical Engineering and Business Administration in the United States, having attended Morris Brown College, Atlanta Georgia.


He started his career as the chief executive of Dangote Transport, the logistics division of the Dangote Group.

He realised the potential for diesel marketing when he found it difficult to procure fuel for the company’s huge fleet. The Nigerian government was the sole importer of diesel and there were chronic shortages of the product. Sayyu studied the complex allocation process and launched M.R.S Oil in 1993 with about 5 million Naira start up capital. He started buying diesel from African Petroleum, Unipetrol and the Kaduna Refinery, but it took some time for the company to get a foothold in the market. At the initial stage, M.R.S even had to buy diesel from foreign firms who received allocations even though they had no offices in the country.

The company got its big break when it was hired by the NNPC in 1998 to evacuate Low Residue Stock, a by-product of the refining process. This was followed by a major order from Wale Tinubu, who gave him a big contract to supply diesel.


M.R.S has an annual turnover of N10 billion and ships about 50,000 tonnes of diesel a month. The company recently stunned the industry when it acquired Chevron Texaco’s downstream assets for 1 billion dollars (it was bidding against Femi Otedola’s Zennon Oil). The M.R.S group employs about 800 people.
