Emeskhalifa:
The way you guys talk about these trucks, as if they are the only trucks that get involve in accident.

Ogar out of 100 trucks of Dangote, I can tell you the ones involve in accident no reach 20 but since an agenda must agend, everything possible must be said and done to tarnish his image and business.

Even in saner climes, truck accident dey happen, except you no dey watch international News.

He’s the richest man in Africa…

His trucks have been killing people for decades, if he’s serious and care about human life… he will take it seriously to ensure compliance, extra safety and standards that ensure his logistics is handled properly and efficiently..

But of course, cheap labor …. That’s his way

You are 100% correct.

I know what money can do, I have seen it work. It’s physical and solves everything.

I don’t do fictions. I believe in reality.

But it’s sad you don’t have that money… and you may never have it in this life , so it’s safe to say you will continue to worship money, and serve it all the days you have left on earth

Aliko Dangote has revealed that while building his refinery, Mobil, AP, and Oando were sold for less than $500 million combined.

He said he could have bought them but chose not to, in order to avoid being labeled a monopoly.

Dangote explained that his focus was on production rather than retail, but warned that if competition turns hostile, he is ready for the fight.

Kudos to The Richest Man in Africa for a job well done.

After reading your first line about him being the richest man......... I just gave up. So this is being said out of envy?
Why do poor people hate rich people so much? I mean it is not just Nigerian thing, people hate Elon, hate Zuckerberg, hate Bill Gates. In fact, even on the street, the richest person on that street, people hate him, reason why rich people these days are even building their houses very far away from poor people.

Trucks accident occur on daily basis, majority of which we don't hear about, but once it's Dangote's truck, boom food for bloggers.

Like I said, truck accidents occur even in saner climes.

Kuku buy the whole Nigeria

Buy all of us, then when done buy planet earth and go buy Pluto

These capitalist are just evil and unnecessarily greedy about the world. It’s one of the weakness of humanity… acquire, possess and acquire till they depart this earth with not a single pin of what they spent their whole life acquiring

Imagine a world without people having Unquenchable thirst and hunger to posses everything…
Leave the world to this rich people and even poor people that have that same desire but no means to conquer everything, these people will ruin the world and destroy the basic essence of life and its meaning

Life is meant to be free, explored and enjoyed… not living on earth like we owe life debt… and that can happen when people take enough they need and think of humanity, and the pants and animals on Mother Earth…

But these ones, they are the ones who come to destroy, possess and destroy and make life harder just to enjoy few decades of power and wealth and depart

Las las, Aye o le, Aye lo maye le (The world isn’t suppose to be difficult, na humans make am hard for each other )

Las las, dangote, Elon musk and all of them, them go comot this earth without a single pin…

You nko

You go explain taya...

Don't tell me you don't like to afford anything you wish while alive.. grin

O wii re jare ore mi. A man so rich like this, he said he doesn't own any house outside Nigeria. And whearas people stealing our money are buying houses all over the world with no investment in Nigeria. Someone trying to make life easy for us, they no let him rest. Dangote would not have thought of establishing any refinery, if our own refineries are working

I laugh in north

With the likes of Dangote,Otedola it would be hard for young men to venture into manufacturing because of their tendencies to monopolised everything they are intereting in.

He uses govt power to out rival his competitors without pity.

Now,that he has ventured into fertiliser,he would block that avenue for investors in that sector.

Putting food on people's table for free or they work for him while he also makes profit. Can he do the work by himself. If Dangote did not invest in Nigeria, another person will. The world has been in existence before Dangote was born.

You are just jealous. If we have ten of Dangote Nigeria will have leapfrog to greater hieght. The problem of you people is just because he his not from your region.

I dont really know in details and in truth the ongoing issues between Dangote and the downstream oil workers with its associations but I know for sure, if government is against monopoly as it is in Europe, America etc where there are various anti monopoly legislations in place, you cannot buy them even with your money and you cannot use proxies. The laws are there to prevent monopoly.
Google, Facebook etc have just faced USA house of reps and part of their operations broken down

He is a god

To amass such wealth takes exceptional brilliance.

Than means Abacha, ibb and Obasamjo are senior God's, cos they probably ammased more wealth than Dangote.

After all, Dangote's wealth is fundamentally a result of direct bias policies from ex rulers and direct investment from same ruling class.

Facts have it that Dangote got dollars at cbn rate all through the procurement of equipments throughout the construction of his refinery.

Facts also have it that other cement factories were closed up during obj's regime, while Dangote had his exclusive area in the NPA.

U may as well call hushpuppy a junior God, cos he also amassed so much money.
