The govt is behind the problems Dangote is facing , govt cronies lead by their chairman are hell bent on continuing the fuel importation fraud ...

They don't want Dangote to have an idea of the true daily fuel consumption of the country which has been used to milk this country of 100s of billions of dollars
Pls, who is our oil minister now?

Honestly, Dangote is a greedy and wicked man.
Does he think Nigerians don't understand what's happening, he always resell or export 70% of the oil sold to him Naira to international market in dollars.
He will only take Petrol Kerosene and two other pruduct from the Petroleum and resell it in dollars.

I think Asiwaju should show him his RED SIDE before he destabilise his government with his greediness.
Not quite Sir! Better to look at the larger picture of the direct and indirect employment generated for Nigerians, the forex-savings on import of finished petroleum products and the balance of trade figures. There are so many other positive sides to the matter. In any event it is not difficult sell to him in Naira just what we consume locally. It is not greed to maximise profit. If you must know he does not do business with his personal funds - the funds are borrowed from banks and he is bound to pay back WITH INTEREST!

I learnt that every time he bought crude oil from abroad, he does this. He has complained that they are not selling crude oil for him in naira. If he gets crude oil from Nigerian Market in naira, then he will sell to Nigerian marketers in naira. All still boil down to sabotage. What is wrong with nnpc selling crude oil to him in naira? He doesn't get his crude oil from Nigeria again. That is why FG should wade in and make sure he gets steady supply of naira denominated crude oil from NNPC and it should be constant. Every action shows that they are playing monopoly and sabotaging games that won't benefit a common man.
NNPC is taking the crude oil for free to Malta where it's refined and brought back to me sold to Nigerians expensively

Let's go there
Before dangote sold the first litre of fuel I said it. I love the Man's business acumen oooo, but his refinery being a sigh of relief for Nigerians, impossible. He is too greedy for that

OK let's not yell them that due to maintenance, dangote will lose up to 50% productivity, therefore the best way to keep making profit is to hike fuel prices. OK ooo
You that is not greedy, what is your contribution to humanity?

Not even greedy parsa, but he wants to push other major marketers around. And this people he is trying to push around can match him money for money, connection for connection. grin

Imagine an average person like me who just venture into oil business and a very powerful Nigerian wants to kick my poor ass out. Haba isn't that wickedness. If I don't have anything to do, won't I become jobless and frustrated! undecided

Dangote should just focus on his business and allow other marketers breath.
Did Dangote stop anybody from importing fuel or from setting up their own refinery?

Nigeria, with all their intellectuals cannot get their refineries to work, but Dangote is your problem.

Una go dey alright eventually.

When Dangote doesn’t have his way like he has in the cement industry, then he creates a problem albeit an artificial one hoping to get all he wants his way.

Maybe tommorrow he will reduce the price of fuel and then next increase it to gain control and monopoly only for his own benefit.

Today, he wants to show you how the Naira and Union has become worthless which he does not need. Tommorrow he will sell in Naira as long everything goes in his favour, & then in Dollars if he does not have his greedy way.

The Union must stay whether Dangote like it or not.

cheesy
What has the union done to ensure our refineries comes back to life,what has the union done in terms of members welfare......all they know is how to exploit members for their selfish gains with no benefits whatsoever to the people.

This is not time for blaming games. When would you people even be proffering solutions to things you have always been fuming about?

If this is not checked on time, it will cause dollar scarcity, fuel scarcity as there would be delay in sourcing for dollar, FX reserves likely to depreciate or dollar subsidization returns.

All can still be averted if FG can get involved and resolve the matter. Prevention is better than cure
Ultimately, if the forex market is sufficiently liquid, the currency used for the transaction becomes irrelevant.

Prophet Nnamdi Kanu and PM Simon Ekpa and Biafrans prophecies are playing out wotowoto, Dangote is working for IPOB grin

Free Biafrans you people are saying "no" conduct referendums corrupt minded gullible votes sellers says "no".... Dangote nice one cheesy

Watch out how Nigeria leaders will use some law of powers to divert mindsets of those gullible still supporting Nigeria because of corruption, looting and sharing of peanuts to hungry powerless voters or electorates a.k.a vote sellers/vote buyers colluding with INEC corrupt political terrorists commissioners and corrupt foreign observers.

Nobody is a Nigerian, Nigeria is a scam, even Dangote and this end time president Tinubu had denounced Nigeria many years ago in secrets and technically openly....


But the zombies juju terrorist APC and PDP and ADC and others bandits political parties controlling the North, Yoruba and of the East are using on gullible Nigerians are killing Nigerians systematically...

So, Dangote should source for dollars and import crude oil from overseas and then refine and sell to Nigerians in naira? Is he Father Christmas? Why is Tinubu failing to fully support Dangote by selling him crude in naira? That was an agreement he reached with the Buhari government before investing in a refinery. Nigeria's importation of less pure Malta-refined crude is still hitting astronomical numbers, while Dangote is constrained to export refined crude outside the country. No be juju be that?
That refinery project was started in 2013, Buhari didn't give him that before the refinery project started.

LoL, you don't even know the functions of the union your are supporting. Unions are just there for their union due and sometimes for the walfare of their members, how Dangote chose to sell (whether in dollars, Yuan or Naira)is non of their business

Yes,but quite agree with your submission, in as much as I appreciate effort Dangote has put into Nigeria economy, regarding oil business it's like we want to kill subsidy to birth and nurture a monopoly.

Government need to be very careful with Dangote

All hail your messiah. Fuel will soon be 1k. And you will still blame government

1 barrel is 60 to 65 dollars, that's 90k
Petrol yield 70L, the rest 80L will include Jet fuel, kerosene, diesel etc

Have you asked yourself why dangote is churning out billions of profits in cement production at the expense of a common Nigerian buying cement at high price despite the raw materials being mined in kogi and edo

I love the way you guys defend the guy while he rides on your support into billions
Dangote is not your national oil company, he is not the one that stopped NNPC from fixing refineries that were built with your money, he is not even the only business man in Nigeria, he could have used his money to build the biggest petrol deport in the world here and keep importation running, technically he doesn't owe Nigerians a dime! He is just being patriotic, even more than you guys claiming he is dumping the country.

OK na, we are saying the same thing. If he can sell his products at whatever amount he wants, then he should stop blackmailing nnpc with selling crude to him at cheaper prices na. Let him buy at the price others are buying and sell how much he wants to sell na

I love the way u guys love him, somebody owing your country billions of naira. Patriotic indeed, mining cheap limestone and selling costly cement
Re: Dangote Refinery Suspends Petrol Sales In Naira by Reference(m): 1:19pm On Sep 27, 2025
When Dangote was fighting the unions folks were up in praise for a few naira he removed on the litre.

I did say and continue to say on this matter.
Our regulators are weak and almost dead. They cannot even monitor gas stations gouging prices and fixing pumps, how will they wrestle this man and his refinery.

The courts, including industrial courts will not fight for the common man and against the big dog.

It is only the unions that can see unfair practices and challenge this man and his refinery.

This is the tactic of the monopolist. Grow big, subdue everyone else and have them in chains.

I am a fan of Dangote and laud his great efforts at industrializing this country BUT power without control is extremely dangerous and it is futile to exchange one monopoly, NNPC for another.

Just ask what the Euopeans say, and read what they are doing about another global behemoth in Google.

He won't be the only business owner to import raw material using dollar and sell to the nigerian market in naira. Would he have imported a product using naira before?

I agree with you, Dangote would like to have his way because he is a business man; and like all people who go into business, its to make profit.
Dont forget, Dangote Refinery journey to his present state hasnt been an easy one. Remember all the accusation and counter-accusation between him and Kyari of NNPC? Dangote had to some out and shout....NIGERIA HAS HAPPENED TO HIM. Running a successful business here is not easy....even if na POS you dey do.....wahala jus dey evverywhere.
