People like you who tell ordinary citizens to go and start a cement factory if they want to bring down the price of cement are the biggest problems we have in this unfortunate country! You're too vicious for your own good!

A comparative analysis of cement prices across borders in Africa was posted here few days ago, showing the disparities in prices, including in countries with Dangote outlets. Your response is to start talking of cost of doing business in Nigeria... Go to obajana, Dangote is getting his local raw materials almost FREE! If we have to factor in the cost of imported raw materials, it's only fair we take into consideration the fact that he gets away with all sorts of privileges in this country, including tax cuts, free access to mineral resources, cheap labor and endless grants! Cement production used to be in the exclusive list, mind you. So it's a highly profitable and economically sensitive aspect of the local economy! Dangotes irresponsible business practices in this front is directly effecting the way Nigerians live. And yes! Cement sold for over 4,500 per bag in certain places in the east recently! That's totally obnoxious.?

BluDesk:
Is cost of electricity. Or transportation in Zambia free?

Neutralobserver:
So cost of electricity and transport in Zambia must ble exactly like Nigeria...two different countries.....

Comrade lenin, good afternoon.

BluDesk:
Now this is someone smart. Not the other gullible entities that flooded this thread


We know the cost of a trailer of Dangote cement from factory to retail outlets. This information is in public domain.. And the price per bag after deducting price per truck isn't even 2800 Naira


There's no cement seller that makes more than 400/500 Naira profit per bag. Quote me anywhere anytime

Glycosunde:

Don't mind them. How are they going to be making almost #1,500 per bag. It can't be #2,500 as he claims but he wants to shift the blame as it is customary of them to do. You can imagine that the people feeling the brunt are the ones also defending this monumental corruption. Nigeria who did this to you?

Sighs........... Drops pen

BluDesk:
Smiles. This is another highly intelligent yet brief comment. If truly it is 2500 per bag, are we saying 1500 is added to this. Wow. I didn't even see it from this angle. Nice one

Glycosunde:

Thanks for educating them but we can't force them to see beyond the smokescreen because they are apologists. Remember even the devil has allies and sympathizers. Hopefully we will get it right one day but until then, let those who know keep on been the discerning voices

Dangote don add lying to him list, he is learning from our nigerian politicians

FOLYKAZE:
Oohhhh! We would have hold unto the lies you spew in beer parlours across the East that DCP produces their cement at zero cost, getting everything from raw materials to logistics and tax at absolute no cost or cheap.

DCP has stated that the factory cost of a bag of cement is ₦2,500 plus ₦300 for transporting it with 1200km radius. That is the total of ₦2,800 or ₦2,850. If you are buying it at ₦9,000 in your neighborhood, then you should question the middlemen and retailers in your neighborhood.

Middlemen and retailers hike the retail price to whatever considering the expenses they incur like store rent, security, labor, dues to the government, and others. Considering that DCP claims they haven't increase price of ex factory cost since December 2019, we have to look toward the retailers for the incessant increase of the price of cement within the country.

Late last year, a bag is sold at ₦3,500. And after the public outcry, it dropped to ₦3,000. It was sold around 2018 at ₦2600.

FOLYKAZE:
Nigerians would want Dangote to supply bags of cement at the doorstep of consumers at no cost.

To transport 120kg pks (palm kernel seed) from Ondo state to Odeogbolu in Ogun state is ₦500. This is not up to 1000km stretch o. Nigerians would want you to overwrite transport expenses and sell cement at zero cost

You don't have to lie to substantiate your points. Where are they selling cement at ₦5,000 per bag? Can you show us receipt evidence?

thesicilian:
When you consider the overall cost of doing business in Nigeria, including taxes, logistics, raw materials, etc, you'll actually agree with what Dangote is saying.

FOLYKAZE:
You were lying with every single punches from your finger that cement is sold outrageously at the rate of ₦5,000. You turn around yelling it is sold at ₦4500 in the east. Where is your evidence? You are only asked to provide an invoice showing the rate but you can't submit any.

What raw material does DCP get absolutely free? Is limestone the only material needed for producing cement? And where is the evidence DCP gets limestone absolutely free as you suggested? Tax cut, cheap labor, limitless grants...you can cook all those bullshit from your bumbum. It's all riddle with lies unless you provide substantive evidence.

DCP has stated they produce and sell from the factory at the rate of ₦2,500. The middlemen and retailers are free to add their own expensive cost of logistic and transport, rent, labor, and profit to arrive at ₦3,000 which cement are sold at retail outlets.

FOLYKAZE:
Cement is sold at the rate of ₦3,000 per bag. It should go for ₦2500 as stated by DCP but we need to honestly add logistic cost, transportation cost, and other expenses like store rent, security, loading costs from the retailer and distributor end. Also note that retailers are selling for profit, not running charity.

Ifyz0001:
Oga Dangote, that is a lie as at December in 2019 I asked my colleague in Benin republic of the price of Dangote cement in his country and he told me #2100, when in Nigeria it was higher.

tonididdy:
I hate this country with every fibre in my muscles.

Everything goods and services received over a 100% increase, yet Nigerians are relaxed like it's nothing happened.

FOLYKAZE:
Show us the invoice.

DCP said the cost out of factory is ₦2,500. Deal with middlemen and retailers if cement is sold at ₦4,000 in Owerri. It is ₦3,000 in Ondo state

COMPAQ:
Don't be surprised electricity is better in Cameroon. As well as roads and corruption. Go to ordinary Cotonou and see quality of roads and compare with lagos badagry expressway.

Kabongo1:
Where can I buy cement for 2500 in Nigeria Please?

obyrich:
Add extra 350 for trucking.
