You would read this and think the person making the statement is a sane person. They’re all in the same boat. He’s most likely supporting Dangote because he’s a Muslim or of the same ethnic stock and not because of patriotism.
He is far saber than those who failed to train you from home.
Internet has made some of you to think upside-down.

He got away with it and then thought he could get away with overriding the constitutional right of the same Nigerians he employed poorly.

When you listen to those speaking in his favor and hear them claim that "Dangote is helping Nigeria," you begin to wonder, how do these guys cross the main road every day?

Responding to the Vice President:
Dangote cannot invest his money anywhere outside Nigeria and be as successful as he is in Nigeria because no society will take from him what he has been dishing out to Nigerians. No society will permit you to employ a diploma-holding Indian in Nigeria and pay him higher than a master's degree-holding Nigerian and be proud of it because "at least, you are paying more than another company." If you want to do business, play by the books.

a clock not working is always right at least twice a day. If you can't handle the truth deal with it. I don't like him but he is right. Tell yourself the truth sometimes it might help you in life.

Enemies of progress. Refineries havent been working all these years and they have been happy. Dangote doesnt need money again but he wants nigeria to move forward.

How does ASUU and PENGASSAN strikes dont affect us ? Did you not read what I wrote? I am saying it is getting out of hand and it affects the sizeable number of the population . Now how does a private company's staff decision lead to an industrial strike that adversely affects a huge number of nigerians ? It is pure madness .
But I thought basic labor law was a core subject in most universities.
How come it is strange to you?

Which university did you attend, abeg?
Re: Dangote: Nigeria Greater Than PENGASSAN – FG by Allwell96: 4:52pm On Oct 06, 2025
They want Dangote Refinery to be grounded like the NNPC's. By the grace of God, they will fail.

This is a very misleading post. Poorly researched and yet presented authoritatively........typically Nigerian. You have absolutely no idea of what you spewed up there.

Pls refrain from publishing what will diminish your moniker.

The private universities will suprise you if you take an in-depth look into their operations. The era of the public universities over. There may still be a few of them who are trying their best to compete but they have too many hindrances ranging from very inadequate funding to very intense politics.

Perhaps if you had not mentioned Covenant university I would have overlooked your post as I am wont to do to many. Do you have any idea of the pool of academic resources that university has?

Have you heard of the exploits of Afe Babalola university? You think that institution would hire second rate academics. Bros, you are a long thing.

Wake up we are in 2025.
grin grin grin

My colleague did his secondment in the school in 2024, and the day he arrived, ASUU was supposed to come visiting. My brother, he became HOD since he was the only one with a PhD in that department. grin grin grin

And I am talking about Covenant University.

You love advertisement too much. That is why it is easy for private universities to sell themselves to you cheaply. grin grin grin

If you were schooled at a private university, I will ask you, how many of your lecturers were permanent staff? grin grin grin I mean, apart from those master's degree holders that covenant university gave jobs to populate their department.

Re: Dangote: Nigeria Greater Than PENGASSAN – FG by nedekid: 5:11pm On Oct 06, 2025
Exactly! That was what I insinuated in my post in the earlier thread of Otedola riding his bicycle enjoying his life. I said dangote could have done the same and be enjoying his money while comfortably living off his interests of which he cannot finish no matter him lavishly he spends, but he rather decided to give himself stress by pouring his money into investments in naija at a time when he should be relaxing in retirement. Of course one lowlife, halfwitted at best read it and said "Poverty mentality", some hungry person ohh that all his posts is about food lol.
As VP rightly said, dangote is an institution in Nigeria, just the taxes alone he pays probably follows oil as one of our highest earners. Little wonder I laughed when vdm said he would shut down dangote operations in Edo state over the trailer accident. Just the revenue, employment, taxes dangote generates for that state alone would have made people prevail on him.

You cannot bully a trade union into your bidding.

You placate them.

How come we have a government that placates jeehardeest and goes tough on trade unions?
Come on!
The way they placated them with NNPCL?

Mind you, the same way they crashed NNPCL,they can't crash Dangote Refinery Like that . This is a private Refinery and the owner can't stand akimbo and watch some rogues hijacked it's operations

Lol. You got it all wrong. The best way to destroy operational efficiency (especially in a private organisation) is to put the business at the mercy of a union, unless such organization operates in an industry where operational lags do not impact productivity.

So you want to subject a Refinery that is still trying to find its feet in the competitive global refinery space and Nigeria's hard business environment to the life of lock and key that Nigerian unions are known for?
Re: Dangote: Nigeria Greater Than PENGASSAN – FG by flokii: 5:38pm On Oct 06, 2025
Why criticize only the unions?.. what about the economic sabotage being perpetrated by Dangote as an individual?
The Nigerian economy stands to gain nothing from that refinery because of the ways and means it was established, instead Dangote is the one utilizing Nigeria's natural resources to run his refinery.

We can't move forward in this country if we continue to view national issues from ethnic or religious lens..

Nigeria's constitution is far above Dangote and whatever he stands for.. he is a businessman for himself alone but the constitution is what unites and protects us all as Nigerians

Stupidity!
Is Dangote bigger than Nigerian Constitution?
Is there no common sense in politics anymore?
If anybody acted bigger than Nigeria it was Dangote who flouted Constitution of Nigeria, ILO convention and MOU it freely entered.
Without Dangote will you be buying fuel as easily as you are doing now?

So quick for you to forget the long hours you were spending on the queue fighting with thugs for fuel not too long ago.

And here comes a helper saving you from being cheated by PENGASSAN yet you are vilifying him.
Re: Dangote: Nigeria Greater Than PENGASSAN – FG by ogunsbanjul(m): 6:30pm On Oct 06, 2025
God bless you our able and energetic vice president.

This same PENGASSAN was there when the useless members of their union destroyed Portharcourt refinery.

God bless Nigeria

Helper or a Businessman. Have you not read that it's not because the Baker loves you that we wakes up early morning to bake. We're talking about breakdown of law and you are here mouthing business interest of one individual.

Nwaikpe:
You have never seen them joining ASUU simply because they SUCCESSFULLY achieved the intimidation that Dangote is struggling to achieve. That is why up till tomorrow, a junior lecturer in ABU or UNN will be a visiting professor and the HOD of Covenant University or Base University. And the junior permanent staff in Covenant University will be hustling tooth and nail to become a lecturer in government institutions grin grin (things people will never tell you).
Somehow Nigerians take businesses as poverty alleviation programs, and therefore an employer assumes that employing "Nigerians" is simply doing them a favor. I don't blame them.

Secondly, PENGASSAN has never been in charge of making government refineries work. If they fail, it is the government that caused it. Not PENGASSAN.
you are capping and that is simply the truth. Nigerians won't stand and watch subsidy cabals that destroyed this country to have their way in destroying Dangote's refinery. You lost have done nothing but corruptly enriched yourselves at the detriment of the masses. You leaders have morning nothing but make life unbearable for Nigerians.

Is Tinubu or Buhari working in the comatose state owned refineries? You guys wickedly ran it down and now want to dictate and control Dangote. It will not work, Dangote will not bow to your foolish and selfish demands, go and fix the ones you all destroyed.
Re: Dangote: Nigeria Greater Than PENGASSAN – FG by indigenous234(m): 10:25pm On Oct 06, 2025
I’m not against Dangote or his wonderful refinery. My statement is an indictment on the Nigerian system where patriotism is conditional on mundane sentiments like religion and ethnicity. If you can’t see my comment beyond your ethnic cum religious background, it’s not my fault bro.

integrity16:
You that is looking at the statement from ethic/religious angle are no different from the speaker.

It may interest you to know that supporters of dangote refinery cuts across different ethnic/religious divide, those who haven't even seen face to face.

Let the unions go and build their own refinery, dangote refinery must be protected, BUA is coming up with his own, even the oil producing states ought to have built their own refinery by now if not for bad leadership.

So please rest, if you have nothing inspiring to say on the matter.
Re: Dangote: Nigeria Greater Than PENGASSAN – FG by indigenous234(m): 10:30pm On Oct 06, 2025
How do you tell when the non working clock tells the right time?. You need a functional clock . That’s where I come in. If you believe the VP made that statement out of patriotism, I have a beach side mansion at Banana Island to sell to you for 100kNaira.

"Probably"

A law (right to associate and belong) outlives its usefulness.

Funny.

I wouldn't want to argue with someone who thinks like that.

I never knew that PENGASSAN, as a union, also were the President of the NNPCL, having the oversight of the organization and also taking the responsibility of its failure.
I am just learning that now.
