Education / Re: JAMB Frustration Gives Fresh Secondary School Graduate His First Lesson In Life by platorepublic(m): 11:14pm On Apr 23
Pepperdemisback:

Really?
Posted to Abeokuta and went to Ayetoro? I thought maybe the 2 Schools are in the same locality, that's why he made the mistake.


Abéòkúta to Ayetoro is 2hrs journey and the road is very bad

The guy is a pathological liar. Thank God I was at the centre and presently at Ayetoro as I typed this message. He came to the exam centre very late and that's the reason why he was denied entry. There are so many of them that missed the exam, just because they came to a wrong centre despite the officials warning them to check there slip to confirm there centre. Imagine someone posted to FUNNAB in Abéòkúta as venue for is exam coming to Ayetoro.

Seriously, this man is milking Nigerians dry. Price of cement at the Market is N3300 to N3500.
That's criminal difference of N1000 that's too much to bear

Business / Dangote Reveals Actual Price Of Cement Sold To Dealers-dangote- Business by platorepublic(m): 5:06am On Apr 13, 2021
Dangote reveals actual price of cement sold to dealers


The management of Dangote Cement Plc has clarified that the price of a bag of cement from its factories and plants across Nigeria (as at 12th April, 2021) is N2,450 in Obajana and Gboko, and N2,510 in Ibese inclusive of VAT.

The clarification was made in view of recent insinuations that the company sells cement in Nigeria at significantly higher prices relative to other countries, particularly Ghana and Zambia.

Dangote’s Group Executive Director, Strategy, Portfolio Development & Capital Projects, Devakumar Edwin revealed that, while a bag of Cement sells for an equivalent of $5.1, including VAT in Nigeria, it sells for $7.2 in Ghana and $5.95 in Zambia ex-factory, inclusive of all taxes.

He said that though the company has direct control over its ex-factory prices, it cannot control the ultimate price of cement when it gets to the market. He advised that it is important to distinguish Dangote’s ex-factory prices from prices at which retailers sell cement in the market.

He, therefore, frowned at intentional misinformation or demarketing, allegedly sponsored by some individuals, that Dangote sells its cement at higher prices in Nigeria relative to other African countries at the expense of Nigerians. He described the allegation as false, misleading, and unfounded, while giving the media persons present at the press conference copies of invoices from Nigeria and some other African countries (Cameroun, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Zambia), and urging them to conduct independent investigations on the price of cement across the West African coast.

Edwin further explained that while Dangote cement has 60% share of the market, other companies have the remaining 40%. DCP has no control over neither the prices charged by other cement manufacturers nor the prices charged by retailers in the markets.

He further explained that “Demand for cement has risen globally as a fallout of the COVID crisis. Nigeria is no exception as a combination of monetary policy changes and low returns from the capital market has resulted in a significant increase in construction activity. To ensure that we meet local demand, we had to suspend exports from our recently commissioned export terminals, thereby foregoing dollar earnings. We also had to reactivate our 4.5m ton capacity Gboko Plant which was closed 4 years ago and run it at a higher cost all in a bid to guarantee that we meet demand and keep the price of Cement within control in the country.”

He said: “Over the past 15 months, our production costs have gone up significantly. About 50% of our costs are linked to USD so the cost of critical components like: gas, gypsum, bags, and spare parts; has increased significantly due to devaluation of the Naira and VAT increase. Despite this, DCP has not increased ex-factory prices since December 2019 till date while prices of most other building materials have gone up significantly. We have only adjusted our transport rates to account for higher costs of diesel, spare parts, tyres, and truck replacement. Still, we charge our customers only N300 – 350 per bag for deliveries within a 1,200km radius. We have been responsible enough not to even attempt to cash in on the recent rise in demand to increase prices so far,” he said.

It is not necessarily that she applied for the loan herself. Anybody with the knowledge of her Bank details, ATM details, pin and phone could link her ATM to any loan app.

Somebody used her ATM to obtain loan from Branch loan app and refused to pay in time. There is nothing like cloned anywhere the person as given Branch directives to withdraw the money from the account in case the person default.

Jasobry:


I was told today by a cement distributor that the current price of cement is caused by them(major distributor) and that the cabals want them to maximise profit for now. He said the government wont interfare,because they are involved.

Absolutely you are right
Dangote and Lafarge Cement as not add a kobo to price of cement but the major distributors are hoarding the product to create artificial scarcity thereby inflating the price. Since we have a dummy President that won't intervere the masses will continue to bear the consequence.

The Price is coming down thou, some of them are now selling it at N3,000 when they realize that people are no longer buying the product as they used to do
