Refinedbeing:
His locally refined products seems more expensive than imported ones at the end though

Justnation:
Dangote is a monopolist and an enemy of the good of the common man in Nigeria.
The man wants to become the richest person in the world through exploiting and impoverishment of Nigerians.
Check out cement, sugar, noodles, petrols etc. once he enters the business he wants to dominate, force government to ban importation and subsequently inflate the prices to high heavens.

The government must not allow dangote to continue to destroy the capacity of the ordinary people in Nigeria.

Give import license to whoever wants to import whatever so that the prices will be cheaper

honestivo:
This Dangote think Nigeria is his family estate always entitled

ajalawole:
Is this man trying to hold a country of 500million people to ransom.

DomPerignon:
Dangote is also importing crude from the US and Canada and his business model is to replicate the Indian petrochemical refining plants that are cited in India but refine and sell most of the imported Canadian and US crude back to these countries

Refineries across the US and Canada are shutting down over a wave of class action suits by communities were they are sited for heavy pollution leading to permanent and often terminal health conditions

Dangote siting his refinery in the Lekki FTZ was originally to cater exclusively the US and Canadian markets and not domestic market.

Trump's tarrif on imports is probably hurting his export of refined products to the US coupled with FG insisting he must buy crude from the NNPC instead of the US if intends to continue enjoying domestic market share and the benefits of operating in an EPZ.

Oxb90:
Mr monopoly is not happy at all.
Mr Dangote, no be only you waka come. Let Nigerians breathe abeg.
After all no be your money dem go use import am. If you no dey greedy how the importers go take sell imported fuel cheaper than the locally manufactured ones.

sammirano:
This dangote is a wicked thief, disgusting greedy mofo.

SonOfWords:
What manner of nonsensical narrative is this one😵‍💫?!

nairalanda1:
Well, if most of the other licence holders had built their refineries, by now there would have been more refineries to compete with

You should be asking why other refineriy licence holders, apart from BUA, (under construction ) and the one in Edo state (complete and working) as well as two or three others (also working)....did nothing all these years.

BlocksNG:
Federal government cannot build or maintain 12th century refinery, dangote single handedly built it, shame on Nigerians supporting failure.

DomPerignon:
Because no one would have invested in them without the now passed PIB.

Also subsidy was removed just 3ys ago and you expect refineries that take on average 5 to ten years to complete being fully operational by now?

How long did it take Dangote to complete his refinery

flokii:
Critical thinkers can see those behind the sabotage of our State-owned refineries for their selfish gain.. this Dangote man can't try the shi.t he is doing in Nigeria in a country like China where the institutions of Government there are up and doing.
Saboteurs disguising themselves as saviours to milk Nigerians dry.

Burob:
A Beggar has no choice, if your government owned refineries were functional, we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

muykem:
Dangote should use price to cripple importers rather than court.

Olatundex22:
they already doing that na today you know your country man especially when things mixed with politics, government of today
Crude oil sell to him in naira, market buy dollars with naira to import fuels from faraway and their products cheaper no be juju be that.
Let him bring the price down and see market forces importing died naturally dead in no time. But here we found ourselves where emotions work than reality

flokii:
You lie.. a large chunk of Nigerian tax payers money was diverted to that refinery, not to talk of the FX racketeering and other shady deals they used CBN for. You stole from Nigerians, yet still want to continue stealing from them.

potent5:
Dangote wants monopoly through the backdoor. Simple

nairalanda1:
If you Nigerians had supported subsidy removal in 2012 or earlier , we would not be having this discussion either, but oil prices would still be sky high

America has a glut of refineries, but they still have high oil prices.

You guys should realize that people like to make money, even ordinary worker.

DomPerignon:
It's beyond your pay grade.

Move along

SonOfWords:
Look at how you people support nonsense in the name of tribal and party politics.

So it's okay for your country, a major oil producing country at that, to be importing petrol for her local consumption?

Even in the midst of the blatant government corruption that has succeeded in crippling national refineries for decades now, you still sit down and spread nonsensical conspiracy theories about the only working refinery in this hemisphere of the African continent?

Una no dey reason😐💀??

flokii:
AGF should invoke the Free Trade Zone laws and shut Dangote refinery out of the Nigerian market for good.. he should go and sell his petrol in Ghana, Benin Republic, Cameroon, etc.

As far as the law is concerned, Dangote refinery is not existing within Nigeria's Customs Territory and has no right to sell products in the Nigerian markets.
This man thinks he can bully everyone into having monopoly.

Freshtruth:
Dangonte influence the fuel subsidy remover decision with the remover he will make his money he use in building the refinery in less than 2years. This man does not care about the sufferings of Nigerians he only care about how he can break into top 10 richest lists
