Buhari pump cheap forex at cbn rate to him at 450/naira then. If it were now, he won't be able to build that refinery
Buhari only gave him 2.9 billion dollars. Total cost of the refinery was 18 billion dollars. The man has paid back the government loan.

Calm down. Ask why the over 20 other licencees did not build their own refinery? And it was not because of cheap forex, it was because most of you Nigerians supported subsidy which made it difficult for banks to lend money to refinery licencess in good faith because they knew that subsidy would make it impossible for anyone to make a profit refining fuel in Nigeria.

THat's why your NNPC refineries failed...years of subsidy (and when GEJ wanted to remvoe it, you people listened to tinubu then, and said no.).

Dangote was able to afford to build and attract funding for his refinery because if he failed to pay back the loans, the banks who gave him the majority of the money as loan for the refinery would just take over his other lucrative businesses and his properties and collect their money back.

Make we dey realize why some decisions should have been taken in 2012, and in 1993, not in 2023.

Everyone is now courting Dangote. We pray that his investments spur development and bring about continental integration.

Scammer. Use our fx for his refinery now he is exporting refined product to make money for himself and corrupt govt officials
Did he steal your fx, was it not the govt that gave him legally. A man that didn't steal your money to hide in overseas accounts, trying his best to make Africa independent by investing all his resources in African economy, what sin has he committed, all of you accusing him, only God can forgive you

Even the $2.9billion loan Buhari gave to him, Buhari has not done him any favour. This is what is expected of a responsible govt, encouraging local industries and supporting them to succeed so as to create employment and save our scarce foreign exchange

Dangote is BIG!

I watched his chat with the head of the Norwegian investment firm and I learnt a lot. He knows his numbers off his fingers and is thoroughly detailed. His explanation made me realise entrepreneurship get grade and numbers are essential to the growth, survival and sustenance of a business.
Re: Aliko Dangote Tours East Africa by Kaczynski: 3:27am On May 18
dangote isn’t a visionary, he’s just a guy who owns the only shovel in a country where everyone is buried in sand. he literally has a monopoly that only exists because the people in charge are in his pocket. the refinery is just a giant expensive bucket for oil a 19th century solution for a country that can’t even provide enough electricity to run a toaster.

Aliko, please keep your investments in Nigeria. We need them more at home.

Adebayo Ogunlesi visited South Africa recently to explore business opportunities. Many South Africans were commenting on Facebook, telling him to take his business to Nigeria because Nigerians are not wanted in South Africa. Those black South Africans have totally lost it.

Some people have sworn to be useless in this life.
People that have a lot regret in the future , just wait and watch those idiots cry again when the whites take all their lands

Re: Aliko Dangote Tours East Africa by Circassian: 6:43am On May 18
You have time for that wailer.

Man has done what FG has fail to repair (refinery)

Many other conglomerate are following in his footsteps to get some refineries going as well.

Man is eyeing the dilapidated power sector, trying to fix a niche for himself but no this wailer is not seeing anything but wail
SmartPolician:
Make una rest! Buhari or no Buhari, Dangote is not your regular business man. That man is the most ambitious black man alive.

FYI, that man can access loans from any bank anywhere in the world because he's a big brand. You are talking about forex that Buhari gave him, but you are unaware that he is doubling the capacity of his refinery without Buhari forex

Give honour to whom honour is due. By the way, take this from me, there's nobody who became a multibillionaire in Nigeria that the government didn't support in one way or the other.....NO SINGLE PERSON. THOSE PEOPLE BECAME WEALTHY BECAUSE THE GOVT FAVOURED THEM AT SOME POINT - Smartpolician, 2026

At your age, Dangote was already very wealthy. At his present age, he is the wealthiest man in Africa and the wealthiest black man on earth.

What is your status as a young man, even among your age group?

While you call such a man a scammer and “Use our fx”, please tell us the fx that you refer to?

While you sleep and accuse others of scamming your empty pockets, check your words and try to make your life meaningful beginning from now.

The life is about ideas, opportunities and strategies. What are you doing about it?

Negative thinker. After una go say life too hard.
Show evidence that the men you called a scammer stole money to get to his level. Poor man no dey show himself mercy with negative thinking.

If you used your little data and found time to be resourceful, you’d have researched the man’s background and ladder to wealth.

As a negative thinker, na thief full your mind, when you do not know what to do. No let laziness finish you before you old.

I see non. Even his noodles( that wasn't half as tasty as indomie) that couldn't survive the competition shows he's just after making profits

If Nigeria must growth, develop and become a global economic and industrial gaint. Then, we need more Nigerian companies becoming multinationals in different countries.

Adebayo Ogunlesi has no single investment in Nigeria. He made money in the UK and US, but he has no business in Nigeria yet.

He visited Tinubu and was probably not impressed with what he saw. Then, he visited South Africa to explore the opportunities there and received tons of insults from SA social media community.
