The role of a good leader is to institute economic policies that are good, fair and useful to the citizenry. Has the government that you are dumbly trying to defend done so?

Using reported Nigerian prices for a 50 kg bag:

Year Approx. price per 50 kg bag ₦1,000,000 could buy

2014 ~₦1,745 retail 573 bags

2022 ~₦3,500 285 bags

2026 ~₦12,000–₦15,000 66–83 bags


How the calculation works

2014:
₦1,000,000 ÷ ₦1,745 ≈ 573 bags.
A December 2014 report found cement selling around ₦1,745 per 50 kg bag in the market, although Dangote's announced factory prices were lower—₦1,000 for 32.5 grade and ₦1,150 for 42.5 grade.

2022:
₦1,000,000 ÷ ₦3,500 ≈ 286 bags.
A survey reported that a 50 kg bag was selling for about ₦3,500 in 2022.

2026:
By July 2026, reported retail prices were roughly ₦12,000–₦15,000 per bag, depending on producer and location.
So:

₦1m ÷ ₦12,000 = 83 bags

₦1m ÷ ₦15,000 = 66 bags


The striking comparison

If we use those representative prices:

₦1 million in 2014 → ~573 bags
₦1 million in 2022 → ~286 bags
₦1 million in 2026 → ~66–83 bags

So, in terms of cement-buying power, ₦1 million buys roughly 7–9 times fewer bags in 2026 than it did in 2014.
Nigerians are so shallow minded. All the billions and trillions that were supposed to be used for serious road construction, building hospitals and increasing Nigeria defence were used to defend dollars and several needles subsidy

Imagine dollar is still #300 there will continue to be shortages of the same Dollar because business men will prefer to buy the dollar from banks at the rate of #600 and sell it for equivalent of #1000 in other African country definitely the government will keep bringing much dollar to Nigeria yet 70% of it keep disappearing. The same goes for fuel subsidy, fuel of #200 per liter in Nigeria can be sold for #800 in another country then you expect fueling stations not to take their fuel to country where they can sell at #800, this is why everyone was queuing to buy fuel before subsidy was removed.

The system of dollar and fuel subsidy has made some billion to become trillionaires but PBAT has put a stop and instead using the money to build infrastructure yet so many senseless people want us to go back to backwardness

PBAT till 2035

Open the border for cement importation and see how bag of cement will crash.

Cement is 6k per bag on average in other Africa country but dangote and others think it make sense to 2x the price just to milk Nigerian that are already getting milked by the government

They don't need to buy cement, they either regulate the price or open the border for cement importation so that we can buy at global price.

It doesn't even make any sense that country like Egypt who have more than 3x of Nigeria minimum wage is still selling cement under 6k

So what will now happen to the cement companies in Nigeria, what about the workers there?.

You people are selfish, that's the reason why Nigeria is stagnant economically.

God for you. You should also tell us the difference between your earnings then and now.

Nigeria is a country where people want to earn more to pay less.

That’s the wickedness of APC. That’s the injury the party inflicted on the nation. Meanwhile each day we read how EFCC confiscates properties purchased by national leaders, with materials purchased at those same prices.

Except Nigerians wake up to tackle corruption and looting of public resources, there cannot be any moving forward in positive directions.

They simply adapt, it called competition for a reason. Open the border for cement importation doesn't mean they have to close don't

And taking about selfishness that should be be the right word to describe the cement companies.

They are not only selfish but still greedy on top.

How was Egypt cement companies still able to produce cement and retail it for under 6k bur dangote and his cabal decided to make life unbearable for Nigerian by selling for 12k+, same thing that happened when rice importation was banned.

In my little years of being on earth,I have never witnessed this type of bad administration in Nigeria before.
How can a president meet cement price at 3,500 per bag in 2022 and within a year of coming into power increases the price to 15,000 per bag in 2023 till now?
This is a monumental failure in governance by PBAT.
We can't continue with this administration in 2027 else almost everybody will go homeless in Nigeria before 2031.
