Thanks my brother. I wonder how some of these people reason. If Dangote employs his brothers and he is paying them 100k and the igbo distributors are selling his products and making profits in millions, who is having a better deal here?

And if Dangote manufactures, will the product sell itself? Even Dangote will laugh at these people's stupi.dity because he knows the importance of distributors to his business. Ok i remember u called them conehead.

These haters and their foolish reasoning. Na wa for them.

The reason why I had hardly comment on this forum is because most of you guys always comment without fact. For your information, I have had opportunity of working in one of his companies as a salesman, the distributors network of the company across the country shows the SE as having the lowest turn over in volume and I had had to head enugu and PH offices . In fact, what a single distributor in Kano will buy in a month, is equivalent to what Aba and Onitcha will buy. This is not peculiar to dangote product alone but almost other company products, so it is necessary for you guys to stop this self glorification face fact. As some body has mention earlier in the post, an investor will invest in an area where he hope his economy of scale is favourable. Thank you.

In summary he has two plants in the north central, one in the South west.
Why not ask for his investments in his home region the North west before asking about the South east? What about North east? What about South south? He is only planning to set up one in Calabar, as of now he doesn't have any investment in the South South.

MrKnowitall:
Good question.

But before you ask why the richest man in Africa is not investing in the Southeast region, you must first ask why southeastern people are not investing in their own region. When you get the answer to that question, you will automatically know the answer to your Dangote question.

Because he cant compete with the igbos, igbo owned companies based in the SE. He goes to regions he can be Monopoly.

..and if you are a builder, you will choose all these other cement brands over dangote cement.

Are you saying that Dangote monopolized Lagos?

aresa:
From business and profits point of view, the SE is not and never the ideal place for any meaningful investment. The critical factors are not present to even start with? This is the reason why the little businesses they have in that region are not thriving.

1. Availability and access to raw materials

2. Safety and security

3. Access to major markets and consumers.

4. Conducive business environment and investment friendly local authorities

5. Access to skilled, motivated and educated labor.
And 6. Lack of land.

Entchidodo:
With Ibeto,Guo,Innoson and very numerous businness tycoons already domiciled there it would be bad idea for Dangote to start there(he will be chewed raw by the stiff competition).....tis like asking GM to go fight for market dominance in Japan,the hometown of Honda,Toyota,KIA,Mitsubish etc....Tis good thinking to fight for dominance in the neutral grounds of Southwest and the rest of the country....You know how those slaves enjoy paid employment and pean nuts....no businness acumen,industry or competition.South West is every industrialist wet dream.

QuotaSystem:
Isn't Dangote an Abo.ki any longer?

kollynxofodile:


Am sure u re not a builder
Dangote cement is d worst and cheapest cement in Nigeria

The problem is that pple re deceived by the Price and popularity.

If u have client who knows value strength and have the money

He will either choose IBETO or Elephant

I've told u pple to travel outside ur region.

If u doubt me ASK any block industry manager.

shld we talk abt the cement plant in Ogun state or the ongoing refinery project in Ondo state?
