Well, I think Dangote made a reasonable decision to invest in an immediate benefit for Nigerians. We definitely lost the golden opportunity Dubai, Saudi, US, and other oil rich nation took. Well, this investment will just make life easier for us, and not to develop Nigeria. I believe Dangote's interest is always about himself. I have my reasons. And he isn't the only one but almost all the Nigerian billionaires.

I pray we find someone who will invest for the future generation. We need big time investment in housing. Government has started infrastructural development, and we need to start building modern houses. By now, Lagos shouldn't allow individuals to build houses anymore. Also, anything less than 25 storey buildings shouldn't be approve again in Lagos while reasonable low rise buildings should be retained to maintain a balanced eco-system. Anyone invested in these areas will not benefit so much personally, but they are investments for future generations that will position Nigeria among wealthy nations. You can imagine having like 500 high rise residential and office complex along Ikorodu Rd to Ikeja. And Surulere and Mainland are positioned to maintain low and medium rises.

Other areas are green energy, artificial Intelligence, and yes....nuclear innovation.

But the area I want to see real attention paid to is the inclusion of the disabilities in our economy. We need to put these wonderful people into consideration that they are citizens too who can contribute to the GDP if we include them. We need to include them in our infrastructural development.

It is well. I won't criticise or praise Dangote, but at least, let's be grateful that a reasonable competition in the oil industry has been giving birth to. NNPC has destroyed too much, but we can only pray for an advancement.

Bros, it wasnt a risk. You and Nigeria govt had everything planned out and carefully strategized.

From time immemorial, you have been enjoying all the privileges and support that no Nigeria had never got from Govt.

If i am given as little as that support from govt, your money no go see my back... Aswear

I applaud his courage and doggedness to be honest.

And you believe that his refinery cost $23 Billion? How come that it is only dangotes refinery that is the most expensive on earth?

Mumu Nigerians, no sense, no head to think and process information.

Dangote over inflated the cost of his refinery!
Check the average cost of other large refineries around the world.
Then ask yourself why is it that it's only in Nigeria that things gets so expensive to build?

U use our money nah

elvisdaniels:
Dangote's admission about the $23 billion refinery project being the biggest risk of his life is a testament to the immense challenges and bold vision required to transform industries. This project not only highlights his entrepreneurial courage but also has the potential to significantly reduce Africa's dependence on imported fuel, boosting economic growth and self-sufficiency. It’s a reminder that great rewards often come with great risks. A true game-changer for the continent.

but he lied about the cost,
$23B can not be the cost of his refinery.

LegendHero:
Dangote don try well for Nigeria.

Your head dey there.

Thank you
May he continue to prosper and overcome all the evil plans of his enemies

He's a great guy able to stay calm in the midst of storms. Even when you call him, he is always soft spoken. I pray he is able to liquidate his debt quickly and take lesser risky projects. Wishing all the best to Africa Best Entrepreneur. Biko spread your tentacles global, especially now that the world is changing rapidly .

Do you know how much he bought the land the refinery is situated on?

Obaofpigs:
LAGOS will do to you what they did to GLO Mobile.

You will pay settlement tire .

The only way to avoid this is to influence LAGOS State Politics.

Klear!!

Who is holding your hands from influencing Lagos politics? Have you even influenced your state politics or you believe angels are in your of your state affairs?

WhiteIverson:
Any investment in Nigeria is a risk. Government policies kills businesses.

Real! That’s why I’d normally advise dangote to have use that money to get a student visa and japa to the UK. He can never be successful without japa to abroad. That’s the only way anyone can make it as a Nigerian

E dey pepper you that the refinery is not situated in your cursed region.

ImoleNaija:

It was initially stated to be built on Ogun waterside, in Ogun state. But Amosun was asking for too much, as a greedy man he is.

That's the reason why.

DEROX:
Mike adenuga is my best billionaire in Nigeria

Yeah, and you are his best poor person in Nigeria.

floss:
Hmmm…. One thing is to be rich, another thing is to be Dangote. The quest for Money has no endpoint,

Where your money stop, na another man Tithe and 10%. If at this rate, the richest man in Africa fear grip am, Only God knows how much fit put Elon Musk for Dangote situation ?

The only people that can relate what Dangote was going through those period are

Bet9ja players
Forex Traders (Gamblers)


Those are the biggest risk takers, the odds are never in their favour

Include crypto traders abeg

Yes, the risk you took is also increased by bad government policy. Government announced subsidy removal and increased petroleum price, this had forced many car owners to either abandoned their vehicle or sell it outrightly, and result to trekking or the use of bicycle this has reduced fuel consumption by more the 60% because all small businesses like school owners, bakers etc can use vehicles in the conduct of their business also abandoned it. Apart from this, in an effort to reduce the public outcry as a result of hardship, the government also introduced CNG vehicles or conversion of petrol vehicles to CNG, which means the use of gas instead of petrol, the more CNG we the more the reduction in petrol consumption, this where the real risk will be manifested.

Where were you when he was stealing your money, since you are part of the people?

To add salt to injury NNPC and the Oil producers were not ready to support production take off with locally produced crude. I remember someone saying Dangote should have started from producing his own crude. The odds were piled up against him. May this biggest risk taker win.

Lol so how much should dangote refinery cost?? Hope u have captured the full details, capacity and other added features and cost factors. Give us ur estimate figure?

Even though it wasn't necessarily about the figure but how massive the project was. I'm sure refinery experts and investors can capture details and evaluate the coat of the refinery Even if he's inflated the costs. This information isn't for only Nigerians, he's telling the whole world so why mock oy Nigerians?

Oyo person that relocates to LAGOS is a Lagosian....imagine the Audacity

Yeah, and you are his best poor person in Nigeria.

What's my business with you oloriburuku did I tell you am poor or have I ever asked you for money no matter how small? Do I even know you, you are very stupid and mad

In other words, you are insinuating I am a poor person. You tried. Really tried. I pray you become rich in this world before you die.....this is a Faceless group and that's why we all say nonsense things to one another. Have a blessed day....

Miramonica:
a rich man like Dangote can choose to say it over and over again because he is rich, it is music to the ears of people that want to be like him.

But if it is a poor man, we see it as making noise

Moral lesson: NEVER BE POOR IN THIS LIFE , EH GO HOVER YOU ooo.

Apologies accepted. Have a lovely day.
