Doesn't selling at a price "not less than N400" still amount to extortion? This still leaves us in the unwanted situation of being at his mercy. I don't think the PPPRC can do very much to stop this, given the lack of competition that would arise as a result.

Jummate:
OMG. What's all these nah. I'm afraid this might leave us at the mercy of Dangote. Imagine relying solely on his refinery to cater to the needs of the teeming populace. We might just be walking on the edge with this way of monopoly, thanks to the ineffective people at the helms of affair who have refused to think out of the box and do the right thing.

reiddecuti:
I won't be surprise if Dangote source his buyers from outside country. And all hope these useless government that have bedevilled Nigeria since 4th republic will be dashed.

A responsible government would have taken up the task to fixed the refinery but not in Nigeria.

Look at UK energy crisis, it was because government sold off it's assets to private sector and subsidize again thereby costing them more to checkmate the highcost of energy. At least, they have a responsible government.

For those of us relying on Dangote refinery, be ready to embrace the turbulence it will come with. What does this mean, government is indirectly handing off her role in the sector to private sector and more chaos is coming.

1) Nigeria government has hands-off in the
transportation sector.

2) They have partially hands-off in the education and health sectors. That's why we have more of private sector dominating in these sectors.

3) What about energy sector (electricity, diseal, petroleum) - partial hands-off.

4) What about security - partially hands-off.

That's why there's chaos, where the sectors record low productivity thereby creating no new jobs and the jobs out there, only few pay decent wage.

Nigeria government has failed and will continue to fail until the day we say enough. It's a pattern that has been birthed and need to be broken before any progress is made.


It is in nature of man that once a pattern is established, he will always travel round the pattern, unless it is broken by 'Discipline, Will, and Commitment'.

Renovate Kaduna refinery then transport crude from thousands of Kilometers away from the Niger Delta.

If the Southerners like, let them not vote Obi who will Handover their resources to them.

Only Obi will end the Monkey the work, baboon the chop charade in Nigeria.

Ken4Christ:
I don't believe it. What is your source?

Ken4Christ:
Just as they are delighted to let us know that economic power is shifting gradually to the north. Kaduna Refineries will soon be up while the parent refineries in the south are still down. Up Presidency.

Nigerian cement is one of the world's most expensive because producers are protected from foreign competition.

Nigerian cement manufacturers make huge profit margins.

There was a year Dangote's net profit margin was more than half of his sales[b]. I think company turnover was 280bn and after tax profits were like 143.[/b] That meant if he slashed the price he sold his cement for by 50%, he would still have made a profit that could be taxed!

Normally in such commodity industries with huge turnovers globally, profit margins are within the 6-12% range.

grandstar:
The country needs to open its borders to cement imports as these cement producers are exploiting consumers. An import ban was the wrong from the word go

Jack500:
Your useless land that you didn't sell, what has it given you?

So, you prefer an empty land to an industry? And you will think you have brain too o

grandstar:
My biggest worry regarding Dangote is that were there to be an economic boom by a new government, demand for cement may outstrip supply which could lead to a phenomenal rise in the price of cement.

With no competitor aside Bua Cement, Nigerians would be at their mercy.

There will be a need to allow imports again with some tariffs in place.

You 're not sincere with yourself.
Is there any Lagos governor and Nigerian minister like Fashola?

U know he is even more accepted by Nigerians than your Tinubu.

This Sanwo Olu that is giving contracts to fake Chinese preparing to kill Nigerians in the future through bridges is the one u 're hailing.

Nonsense

MrEverest:
Your ignorance smells to high heavens. Rwanda that has airline, are many airlines not going to Kigali already?

I don't even know where to start in educating you because your IQ is like that of a gnat. The bridges in Maryland and Ikeja were built many years ago by the federal government, why can't the rogue called BAT built more or allow his stooges to use Lagos funds judiciously?

Dangote refinery, Lekki port etc are all private sector investments. The old criminal has no hand in it! What is he doing with the trillions of naira being generated in Lagos every year?

Urchin!

Honourable1901:
I don't know what he wants to debate again oo, at every corner in lagos there's a project, ikeja , yaba, okomaiko, alagbado, ogijo, igbogbo, agric ikorodu, abule egba, cms, onikan, surulere, shasha, alimosho, epe, ibeju lekki to name a few.. what else doesn't he need to debate..

The 4th mainland bridge they flagged off, the lekki airport, new massy hospital abi the epe 1500 bed hospital.. make una dey play

MrEverest:
The worst heist ever in the history of Africa is going on in Lagos but no one is paying attention to it. Lagos is being raped from 1999 till date and I will explain.

Lagos State is actually richer than Rivers and Akwa Ibom combined! Yet governors in Rivers and Akwa Ibom have built vast numbers of bridges, airports, stadiums, flyovers, airlines, hospitals, etc etc. But same can't be said of Lagos!

The only stadium built in Lagos since 1999 i.e. 24 years now is Teslim Balogun stadium. That stadium is no where comparable to Uyo's Nest of Champions that is world class! Teslim Balogun can only be compared to the ones built in Ikot Ekpene or Eket. Shame!

Akwa Ibom has an airline established by the state government but Lagos that claims to be richer than Ghana, Rwanda and Senegal combined can't even boast of any!

Millions of Lagosians are suffering and wasting vast man hours daily on traffic jams yet aside Ikoyi link bridge there is no significant bridges, flyovers or super highways added to the ones left by federal government. Everyday we see Wike commissioning large number of bridges, flyovers and roads. Same with Akwa Ibom and even Kano but Lagos that needs it most nothing is happening.

Even highbrow areas in Lagos such as VI, Ikoyi and even Banana island still have open gutters everywhere! No pipe borne water in Lagos! Many either dig well or drink salty water from boreholes in 2023!

If you observe carefully, you will notice how these rogues keep hyping private sector investments like Dangote refinery, Lekki port, etc as their achievement. They arrogantly claim Lagos organic growth as their achievement while embezzling all the funds meant to be used in developing Lagos.

Nigerians are not ready to ask this rogue claiming to be Lagos landlord what he is doing with all the trillions being generated in Lagos. Today, the old criminal is using those stolen funds in threatening the rest of Nigeria in the name of Emi lokan.

Who is going to bring this old rogue called BAT to answer for his crimes or is he now bigger than the whole country??!!

IGBOSON1:
He’s right! One has to be naive not to know this was all what Buhari wanted power for….to take more than their fair share to the muslim core north while telling the rest of the country there’s no money! Don’t look for paper-trails showing how the funds were acquired and diverted to the north! In all probability you may not find such a trail! These hegemonic northerners are as willy and sneaky as they’re bigoted! Pray, what does Kano do that generates the money they’re using for building these ‘notice me’ projects!? Besides their cornering a larger share of our commonwealth through inflated population figures, useless landmass and a plethora of LGAs, where else is the money coming from!? And don’t even get me started on Katsina in general and Daura in particular! This is all what ‘one Nigeria’ is to these people, and why they’re obsessed with wanting to sustain it….even as quite a lot of them despise Igbos’ with passion!

A oil and gas state like Imo has been so cheated that it can’t even find the kind of the funds available to Kano, Katsina or Kaduna (both legally allocated and got through wuruwuru), but they will expect everyone to keep quiet and join them to be cheering on Buhari and Nigeria!?

Pascal9:
even your dangote refinery is not a well thought out idea, why building a refinery in the age of disruptive technology like electric car and truck becoming mainstream, he should get ready to lubby and manipulate the system to thrive, as for your White elephant rice mill, after 3yrs we shall see. Nigeria with 2000000000millionplus mouth to feed cannot export rice.the more you produce the more your geometric population demolish it

RepoMan007:
This analysis is false and poor. There is no way processing of 200,000 bags of rice per month will create even 250,000 indirect jobs. This is just a ploy to justify the inflated cost of the plant and confuse innocent Nigerians into thinking APC is creating jobs fas enough.

unclejb2:
Hope Uzodinma is a useless man.... We would catch him and make him pay for all the bloodshed happening in Igbo land.

We shall never forget

Urheadmaster:
The entire country is in a dilapidated condition because of the leaders incompetencies in times of maintenance

Goodlady:
When the company is patronised massively and supported by FG, they ll improve with their gains/profits.
No one wanna give them a chance which is bad. You are onf of such people

Cullinane:
I am a Delta man, that has travelled to all parts of the country and the Yorubas are the worst at tribalism, pride and arrogance. Living in dirty environments. Idiotic ridiculous set of people. I am based in the US now and I avoid them here. So loud and annoying set of people.

MrEverest:
The extent of hate, envy and backstabbing tendencies people from the waste side of Nigeria always exhibit is indeed appalling.

For God's sake, if this is not envy and wickedness then what is it

They complained the first time, Innoson fixed it. They complained again but it's not even the complaint that is the issue. How on Earth will they conduct a press release about it?

Who does that?

To achieve what aim?

The funny thing is that they even bought just one unit!!! But foreign countries like Sierra Leone, Niger etc. Have bought lots of units and we didn't hear any bad review from them talk more of doing a press release to attack the company.

One of the reasons why Blacks have perpetually remained the footmat for rest of the world is this sort of primitive crab mentality. People like those Bastards will rather pull each other down and remain miserable than allow another person make any headway.

This disgusting attitude is coming from a very dark place filled with odious hate. I can wager a bet that those involved in this madness are Yorubas and it's really a shame.

These people should stop hating on Igbos and being envious of them. No man can stop whom God has blessed.
