Price war. Trying to run other cement manufacturers out of business.

Good one from Dangote. If Nigerians could allow the new electricity tariff to stay, after some time the tariff will crash down just as we experience in Telecommunications. The investors need capital for expansion and expansion will lead to eventual tariff crash landing.

it wont crash because there is no competition. Eko Disco will not compete with Abuja disco. as long as you have only one disco in a region, forget competition that leads to price crash

A lot of the people don't understand the gimmick by Dangote.

He already enjoys the largest market share in cement trading in Nigeria.

He wants to kill competitors. Sell at lower prices than even the imported prices of other competitors, send them out of business and later increase his own price.

Dangote keeps doing this every other year.

Its fraud and wickedness.

[quote author=ckmayoca post=42758792]Everytime they say reduction in price, on gettng to the seller it remains the normal price so what is really happening? Currently I think it's 1300 or 1400 not 1800.[/quoso

[size=14pt]Dangote is spreading his factory across all part of nigeria, leaving sE region 4 ibeto 2 start production of cement, yet u are shouting monopoly. Who is stopping u or any other nigeria frm going in2 cement production in any part of d country? [/size]

You don't understand what he is doing, what dangote event is doing is called market control/price monopoly. Reduce price as production capacity increases. With time, other competitors such as Lafarge and Ibeto, won't be able to cope cos their production capacity is lower than that of dangote. With time, he will drive them out using price and when they are completely out, he will enjoy sole monopoly and can now fix price as e deems fit since there is no rival in the market. We should just be careful.

This news is definitely fake. Dangote cement is been sold for 1400,for almost 2 months now . While other brands are been sold for 1300.
the price was even reduced to 1000 naira and that is why the retail price is 1300-1400

i don't sell any price reduction here because I've been buying for 1350 since late last year. Maybe it's an old news.

Even if he slashes it to 500naira, you guys don't know the extent of monopoly that guy enjoys here in Nigeria.

So how come he hiked the price in the first place to make so much wealth and now that he's made it, he's now considering the masses which he already ripped off long time ago.

He's playing games with your life because if his net worth drops tommorow then expect cement inflation.

of course you have to outsmart your competitors, but not in an unhealthy way like dangote does.

DSTV is monopolizing and the TV viewers are the ones suffering.

If you as a consumer think it is right, then no problem

Assimilate my point before you reply, my point is, he already made it period! If he likes he could own a plant on mars but he started from one and that was when monopoly pushed him through.

A scam artist( yahoo boy) could own lots of investments and properties in the long run but how he started still remains mystery.

WAILER!!!

There is nothing like unhealthy way. If you are financially buoyant enough to muscle your competitor out of the market with with price or quality then you can do it provided you do it legally. Dstv enjoys the monopoly because of their financial muscle,there is no law that stipulates against any new company joining the market. But you will have to compete with dstv in terms of pricing and quality

Giant cement manufacturer, Dangote cement has slashed the price of its cement varieties as a result of its economy of scale occasioned by the recent introduction of new production lines in Okpella Edo State and Itori in Ogun State worth nine million metric tonnes,

The company, in a statement, stated that the price cut from N1800 to N1300 was to ensure the product is affordable to all segment of users.

In the same light the company has gone a step further to train block moulders on the right mix to get quality blocks.

Speaking in Umahia, the Abia State capital during a national meeting of the National Association of Block Moulders of Nigeria (NABMON), Regional Sales Director, Dangote Cement, Johnson Olaniyi, stated that Dangote Cement considered incessant building collapse as an indictment on all sector operators hence his company’s resolve to continue the collaboration with all so as to tackle the menace.

While assuring that Dangote Cement would continue to ensure that block moulders have access to its quality cement as part of its contribution to the war against building collapse, the Sales Director further stated that the company reduced the price of its cement from N1800- N1300 to enable Nigerians have unhindered access to the product.

If I need capital for expansion,I don't go rob a bank,I would rather float the business or look for more investors,simple.

As for dangote there's nothing to celebrate there,that man has rob common Nigerians die,cements are cheapest in every other countries of the world.

Ah!!God love poor Nigerians,you take their money for over 20yrs and give them back less than 000.1% and you ll see them jumping up and down singing praises of you.

There's God sha.
