9jaRealist: Who said anything about punishing him ? What reasonable people are clamouring for is a truly free market . Who told you he won’t make money if he plays fairly ? Dangote dropped prices in 2014 from 1700 naira to about 1200naira . He dropped again in 2015 by about 400 naira . NO other cement manufacturer in Nigeria makes announcements like that . Dangote reduces/increases prices as it suits him and they follow. This is the same reason why people support Yahoo/419/corruption etc . They refuse to question but celebrate Success blindly. AND that is why Nigeria is a 3rd world country . 1 Like 1 Share |

Igboid: It was NOT “before” the acquisition... He had already LAWFULLY acquired Nkalagu before his fellow Ibo kindred came out swinging. And abegi, what section of Nigerian law mandates “carrying the host community along” to LAWFULLY acquire a business? It may be good practical business practice, but not a legal requirement and if it was there would be hardly any corporate acquisitions in Nigeria! Anyway, not surprised by the mentality.... I have said here several times, most Nigerians would rather “own” 100% of NOTHING than a smaller percentage of something. SMH > |

CSTRR: LMAO! So now you agree that Dangote has competitors?? I thought you all always cry about Monopoly and how Dangote killed other competing firms in Nigeria? Whoever depends on Nairaland urchins like you for credible news would nearly assume that Dangote cement is the only brand in the country given the extent y'all cry about monopoly. After crying on Nairaland about monopoly, you will still carry your cash to the market to buy the same Dangote cement even though I have uploaded facts indicating we have over 15 cement manufacturers in the country. Of course, you won't patronize the 15 because they sell at higher prices than you can afford. Yet Dangote is your problem? You people are not Well. Simple economics won't bow to your tears. Dangote PLC sells the cheapest Cement, Noodles, Pasta, Salt and Sugar in Nigeria. That's the fact. Take it or cry on. Dangote is not your problem. 3 Likes 1 Share |

blaise26abj: Huh?! Not sure who you have been reading (or maybe you are struggling to comprehend), but I never said anything like that... Why would anyone say that when Dangote is making money and “playing fairly” - unless you can point to any laws that he’s breaking. Meanwhile, you seem to think there’s a problem with a business modulating the prices of its products. Perhaps, you think that government should be setting the prices and even the production quotas of goods. You know, like they used to do in the old COMMUNIST SOVIET UNION. LOL! What a STRANGE people and STRANGE S/hole country... Currently a DESERVEDLY 3d World s/hole but inevitably heading towards “4th World” crapola! > |

virago: Nigeria still imports MAJORITY of its sugar... Nigeria is NOWHERE near sugar sufficiency, and Dangote is NOT the problem. Meanwhile, ever heard of Tate & Lyle (later Tate Industries Plc)? It was the SUGAR GIANT in Nigeria long before Dangote Sugar was even founded. Furthermore, Flour Mills (a company founded in 1962, when Dangote was a toddler) was also importing sugar... And finally set up a sugar refinery (but still imports raw sugar from Brazil) in 2013 to benefit from the BIP program. Let’s stick with FACTS, not feelings. > 2 Likes |

rhektor: Bros, I am still trying wrap my head around that one... Why would BUA be complaining of high prices when it can simply lower its prices? BTW, as far as I am aware there’s no extraordinary barrier to entry in cement manufacturing in Nigeria... So long as one has the several hundred million dollars needed to build a modern plant, they can seek a mining license. > 2 Likes |

Lonelypacifist6: Lol.. This explanation is not reasonable bro. That term shouldn't be used in an industry with over 10 manufacturers where the supposed market leader has never really differentiated his products. He's simply selling "ordinary" cement like any other company. He didn't add gold to his cement. This isn't even a Apple vs. Android scenario where Apple sells a $75 phone for $500. Dangote is simply selling cement like others. Tbh, it's either the competing firms are too dum.b to thrive or Dangote has never really had REAL competitors. Remember St. Louis Sugar?? That's how to apply monopolistic pricing. Firm had no competition for years. How can you even demonize monopolistic pricing when Companies buy up other companies just to kill them and bury competition? Monopolistic pricing is evil but your MBA lecturers teach you acquisition and mergers in school and you hail them? Mark Zuckerberg bought Instagram and WhatsApp to preserve his investments and you all hailed him. Dangote don suffer for una hands. 2 Likes |

Igboid: Aluta Continua... Abegi, from which old communist doctrinaire did you dig out that gem from? You think all those traders at Alaba are doing it for the benefit of the community and government? One good thing about free market (capitalist) economies is the belief in “mutuality of interests”.... Ibeto in advancing his own interests creates jobs for the community and generates taxes for the government. It does not require the obtuseness of PHYSICALLY PREVENTING him from operating the business! > |

9jaRealist: Ebonyi main source of IGR is the solid mineral mining going on there. There are quarry sites all over the state that puts food on the table of the locals. You can't go to the top and corner it without carrying those whose very life sustenance depends on it along. I don't know why Nigerian commoners are suffer heads and favor having the rich get richer on public wealth and resources while leaving nothing for the commoners. This very disposition of Nigerians is really annoying. The traders are well taxed by both locals and government. Enter main market Onitsha and open shop and see how far. You must pay back to the community once you are making profits. You can't be stashing billions built on the penury of the Masses. That's madness. No amount of jobs Ibeto creates should entitle him to make billions off the people resources without appropriate checks to carry everyone along. |

Lucrativress: You do realize that Dangote is BUYING the dollars? That they are NOT “giving” it to him nor is the price different from the CBN’s window price for ALL manufacturers? What exactly are foreign reserves for? So that Nigeria can admire it in the CBN vaults? Or that it be used to DEVELOP the Nigerian economy? So what does Nigeria get in return for SELLING (not “giving”) dollars to Dangote to help build his refinery? 1) TENS OF THOUSANDS OF JOBS IN NIGERIA FOR NIGERIANS; 2) Helps stop Nigeria from spending BILLIONS OF DOLLARS (reported 35% of all disbursed forex) importing fuel; 3) Any exports from the refinery and petrochemicals complex earns FOREX for Nigeria; 4) Generate tax revenues for government to invest in social services and infrastructure; 5) Creates a LOCAL eco-system of petrochemical-based users and industries, subcontractors, etc.; and 6) Introduces cleaner Euro V-standard fuel into Nigeria, rather than the junk that we’ve been importing. These are just a handful of the benefits just off the top of my head... But the NET effect is that the CBN sells some dollars and in return Nigeria saves and even earns more dollars. > |

Igboid: Ah, the return of Das Kapital... So because they are quarry sites all over, Ebonyi no longer need new jobs? Before you answer, it may interest you to know that the POVERTY RATE IN EBONYI IS ABOUT 80%! https://www.nairaland.com/5859369/80-poverty-rate-ebonyi-northern Meanwhile, befuddled why you are going on about taxes, when I specifically sited the generation of tax revenue as a mutuality of interest. Nigerians sadly have obsessive mentality of SHARING rather than production.... Hence, a proliferation of such code words as “carrying everyone along” (or chop-I-chop)... The problem is there won’t be anything to share (or chop) unless there’s production. Unfortunately, because mostly foreigners generate oil wealth that is quickly SHARED... The nexus between production and commonwealth is completely lost on most Nigerians. Probably why someone would think digging up quarries is better than adding value and creating MORE jobs. > |
