Nigerians are the most gullible I have seen.

Those of you praising Dangote and Jonathan will come back here to curse them when you can't afford that same commodity at #2,200 per bag come March 2015.

You really think Dangote is that daft? He does nothing just for the sake of it or for the sake of Nigerians, he is only after his own pocket, fame, power and influence. I respect his strive actually, he is super industrious.
Anyway, in a nutshell, Dangote will get his money back later.


F00l , he is not losing money. At N1000 he will still be making profit. He simply chose to reduce his profit to help the masses. Afterall, he is already a very wealthy man.
Cement in Nigeria is outrageously overpriced. Their major excuse has always been the cost of powering the plants. We expect the price to even fall further once the power situation and reforms,thanks to GEJ, translates into improved power supply. That a company reduces it's prices does not mean it's making losses.

simple complement and commendation can take us far as a nation. Let's believe in our selves. I am impressed in this kind gesture. God bless Dangote.

Cement price in Nigeria has never been determined by supply and demand. It has always been a SUPPLY side monoploy. Ever wondered how Dangote became so filthy rich ?. He is doing us and the govt a favour by deciding to crash the price. It was a promise he made to GEJ.

The True Reason Why Dangote Slashed Cement Prices Revealed

Africa’s largest cement producer, Dangote Cement Plc has slashed local cement prices to N1,000 ($6) and N1,150 ($7), for different grades. The cement giant is keen to consolidate its position as not only Africa’s top cement maker, but the leading provider in the continent’s largest economy, Nigeria.

The current market price for a 50kg bag of the 32.5 grade and 42.5 grade retails for N1,700 ($10.3), 40 percent higher than Dangote’s latest offer.This is the lowest cement price offered consumers since 2005, and ups the ante in what is considered one of the continent’s more competitive markets.

Group Managing Director of Dangote Cement, Devakumar Edwin said the price cut was aimed at supporting the government’s ongoing effort to shrink housing deficit, which currently stands at an estimated 17 million.

“One of the ways of addressing the issue (huge infrastructure and housing deficit) is bringing the price of building materials down to much more affordable levels, especially cement, which is within our own control as part of our contribution to the transformation agenda of the President Goodluck Jonathan administration and the attainment of key milestones in the Millennium Development Goals,” Edwin said.

Since the backward integration policy for cement was implemented in 2002, local production capacity of the product has increased from less than 3 million metric tonnes per annum to about 38 million metric tonnes per annum, and nearly $20 billion has been injected into the Nigerian cement industry with Dangote – Africa’s richest man and owner of the Dangote Group – accounting for 60 percent of that investment.

With market capitalization surging beyond $22 billion, Dangote Cement is Nigeria’s most capitalized listed company and the first to hit $20 billion capitalization mark.

If you like slash the price to N50. One certain thing I know is that by the time GMB become president of this country your wing will be casted by braking that your monopoly. By then we will buy it for N10.
Those who don't know you will go on street to celebrate and call it GEJ agenda.

This shows how the so called richest man has been extorting the poor masses all this while. It is irresponsibility on the part of the fg to have allowed the masses suffer so much from the rich.
Those saying "thank u dangote" are just being ignorant. Go to a country like Gambia, the price of a bag of cement has always been less than an equivalent of N1000 till date. THE RICH ARE JUST FEEDING FAT ON THE POOR AND NO ONE CARES, NOT EVEN THE SO CALLED GOVERNMENT. SMH.

Re: Dangote's Cement Price Drop Was To Support GEJ's Agenda by kreamstaff: 4:04am On Nov 04, 2014
This is crafty wickedness, Dangote up till 30th of October, offered distributors a promo with a discount, making many people especially new investors and young unemployed youths to run in and start cement business borrowing money to buy large stocks taking advantage of the dry season with a hope to sell fast only for him to crash down prices within a week and not considering the sellers who have heaped up large stocks!

Secondly Dangote had for several years been producing 32.5 grade cement only, which had been used for all construction till his company was able to start ''producing'' the new high grade one and all of a sudden are trying to discredit the previous as low grade and largely unsuitable knowing that only this type is produced by other cement manufacturers in Nigeria.

Thirdly, this stunt is aimed at making Gej govt look good but the actual aim is to gain full monopoly of the Nigerian cement market and make all other competitors run under and Gej being a dullard cannot read between the lines. So if you or any of your friends and family currently work with lafrage, unicem, that cement company in calabar . . . etc. You or them might soon be unemployed as Dangote is more of an importer and re-bagger of cement than a producer as he has the sole importation licence given to him by PDP govt knowing that it is cheaper to import cement from Asia than to produce in Nigeria.

On the other hand, I can now selfishly continue building my castle while a multitude of negatively affected Nigerians weep

Marginal firms will now rush out of the industry and this will lead to a leftward shift in the supply curve. At this point, Dangote is making a normal profit cos average revenue will be equal to average cost. A time will come when the price will be adjusted and the firm will revert back to making abnormal profit. At this point, marginal firms will rush back to the industry.

Keep calm my friend,why do u think dangote is the largest cement producer? d government is by his side and have made policies that will not favour other local investors.u never seem to understand that a change in government will not only bring about more investors back eg lafage et al (elephant cement),but will make d cement market anti-monopolystic market.
This is just a means to pay GEJ same way innoson did.

many of you just like to write nonsense, ignorant stuff and pose as if you know any better. In this country, the only Cement Company that can boost of manufacturing it's own cement full time is Dangote and that is why he can afford to slash price by 40% and still remain in business. He is not just looking at the Nigerian cement market, he is in Ghana, Senegal, Togo and other African Markets...... Stop writing rubbish, have you been to his Ibeshe or obajana plants....... Kid don't just Wright ignorantly.
