so,this man just dey wash us. Nigerians son dey expose am o. I first thought he wants something from Nigerians after reading the interview because even prophet never sang about how much of a saint he is to this extent
Can't really count, you know something similar to what governor's have. All on tinted glasses. At least there were 2 Hillux vans with those revolver lights indicating security vans. One in front and one at the end of the convoy. I am not against him, not at all, he's a great achiever, just that some of his statements here are hype.

go understand how crude is being traded. You will understand It makes no difference buying Nigerian crude or foreign as long as militancy posts a risk to his business. Do you know how much it costs oil companies to provide security ... but they are still operating... Go figure!

I was waiting for a post that would refer to ritualistic inclinations and even cultism. You know we can never go lowered than this. It beats me that otherwise very intelligent Nigerians will subscribe to theories of ritual processes and cultism producing wealth such as attained by Dangote. We really need to remodel our thinking honestly. Dangote being simple and modest it loud and arrogant is not the issue here.Those inclinations are a reflection of his person and evolutionary level. His contributions to the society is a moral question. His philanthropy cannot and should be judged as this is at his discretion. Society cannot judge the man based on other people's standards. People are different. We have to learn to listen to these interviews objectively.
Personally, I think Dangote is a great man. I allow room for his weaknesses and try it to judge him by my own standards. Afterall I am not in his shoes and our circumstances and predicates are different.

Have you met bill cosby in person, at least you have seen how soft spoken bill cosby appears on tv... He appears like the ultimate father role model, who would ever believe the revelation from the women accusing him of sexual molestation. Never vouch for any man!

Nigga chill down wella, like say na u need schooling. Even at the peak of militancy, Security costs is qw good as nothing because Crude oil prices traded between 70 and 147.



Pls never again should u compare prices of getting crude oil (for free) from pipelines with getting it abroad.

Re: Dangote - I Do Not Have Any House Abroad, I Drive Myself Around by OmoEpe(m): 4:46pm On Aug 19, 2017
Whatever rocks his boat. Am not a hater neither an Ipod thug but one thing i know is that the level of unfair monopolies and Govt concessions this guy enjoys is crazily obscene. Till now cement is #2700 That's almost $9 while the world's average for any serious country is less than $5. We don't import we produce locally. Even the ones he exports are sold at about half the price at which it's sold to Nigerians.
Ibrto was frustrated out of the cement market just to give Dangote absolute monopoly. Ibeto said there is no economic reason why cement should be sold above #1000 (ie $3). Forget about our epileptic power supply, he has a power transmission plant. In as much as i pray to be as rich,if not richer, i don't pray to get it at same cost to fellow Nigerians as he has and is still getting it. He practically bought all the Govt cement plants at giveaway price, the press are constantly being compromised both with cash and advert placements, so technically he is above reproach. All his achievements are largely a product of both you and my common patrimony. He operates an economic model that steals #1000 from you and me and give back #10. We hail him for the paltry sum not knowing we have been robbed of #990 for every #10 he gives back
As excited as i ought to be about his refinery project in my home town,Epe,am not because i know it's going to be the most expensive fuel in the world thereby impoverishing the people the more . True we need local investment but not from someone using the money that ordinarily should be ours to boost his own personal empire
The amount of import waivers and tax concessions Dangote has enjoyed is enough to make all roads in the country and connect every state by fast rail and still do much more, with that analogy you will begin to appreciate the level of damage this 'humble man'has done to our collective wellbeing
Like i said am not a hater so i congratulate him on his many achievements but i will say i respect people like Innossin, Adedoyin,Ibeto and millions of small,medium and big Entrepreneurs out there struggling to make it without Govts spoon feeding and his own utterly distasteful business practice
May God bless our hustle

He is not lieing. You can easily meet Dangote on weekends. Dangote loves meeting his friends on weekend,at least I know one of his friends he drives himself to meet.

I have seen him driven to several meetings.

May be like u said. Leisure driving on weekends.


He is simple no doubt. I respect him a lot.

he will pay for crude thats my point and there is a benchmark for crude price!! Oga , dangote will buy crude and sell the refined product. He can choose to buy his crude anywhere in the world. militancy cannot affect his business except if he wants to pass his products via pipe to depot. I am not sure about that information. as for crude reaching his refinery via pipeline, he will only pay for crude thats gets to his refinery

I witnessed an accident one early morning where a woman ran into one of dangote truck carelessly parked idly on a busy motorway at Abule Egba, Lagos and died instantly.

Heard a Road safety officials on ground saying they would have loved to impound the truck but unfortunately whoever does that would have himself to blame and job at stake. I witnessed all this myself I was not told. This is a first hand information. I cried my heart out dat morning. I just don't understand whether Dangote is aware of all atrocities commited by his trailer drivers

Dangote is not all he says he is.

Ur more confused than I thought.

The point is that if the the pipelines that brings him crude is bombed, he starts recording losses immediately(I don't think u know much about this). Then buying crude oil outside n shipping it back to Nigeria means ×5 of expenses.


No investment is safe in Nigeria, the volatility of the niger Delta region is the main reason why shell, chevron, AGIP etc who could easily build refineries here are completely uninterested in doing that.

again learn about crude trading. If they bomb pipelines, he will source his crude abroad. I have attached a link. As long as the funds are there, he will will find a seller. It will sell for same price. There is a benchmark per time. It doesn't go above that price. They will on come to terms on payment, the seller wil deliver regularly at t port.

Lemme know how far u are. How much (in million dollars) does it cost to keep a refinery "On" for 24 hours......... use 500k barrels per day capacity to calculate.

Oga this does not have any relevance to the discussion. Dangote is a world class investor that knows his market. You will be silly to think they have not done their risk assessment. Again, they will import crude from anywhere at the price oil is trading. FYI, most traders sell crude lower than the bench mark. Getting crude is not even a problem with the present crude market. Crude full everywhere looking for buyers. That business cannot be affected by any bombing of pipelines. Except perhaps bombing of the refinery's pipeline. In that case the militants are calling for war because the refinery no dey their land.

The real reason why shell, chevron, agip would not build refineries, build power plants or seriously investment in development of gas plants, is that they are here and here for only one reason to plunder the resources of Africa. It is much easier and preferably for them to dig a hole and suck it dry and move on to the next hole until there is nothing to suck again and simply dismantle all their drilling rigs and ship out of Africa. Their task of plundering the resources of Nigeria was made much easier because of the unserious government we have been having over the years.
