Dangote is a successful industrialist. If we had more of him in Nigeria, Nigeria would have been in a Mich better shape.

Nothing lasts forever. Companies like these thrive only when there’s lack of innovation and innovation brings about fair competition.

As political scientist cum Analyst, Dangote is the top undisclosed store house of Looted funds in this country since 1999, am not hating EVERY NIGERIAN IS A POTENTIAL THIEF, UNLESS YOU HAVE NOT SEEN WHAT TO STEAL. - I AM OPARAKU

congratulations to Mr. dangote, the top executive management and the board of directors as well as the shareholders. Just watch as some enemies of progress come here to cry monopoly.

You have to buy through a stockbroker. I use morgan capital, http://morgancapitalgroup.com/

They will give you online access to Nigeria stock exchange for you to buy stocks online in real time.

No need calling anybody to buy or sell a stock, you can do that from the comfort of your home

yet to see how many billions Nigeria itself posted.

54 billion on ordinary sugar in a year. God, the few are killing the vast majority. A profit of 54 billion naira on sugar is absurd. It means sugar is 100 times costlier than it should be. Dangote's tinz are always like dat, his cememnt is cheaper in other afican countries than in nigeria. Meanwhile raw material is readily availy here too. I hope they bury these capitalist niggas with their money cos they sure will die someday.

Don't.

Instead buy land or houses, invest in treasury bills or fixed deposits and roll over principal plus interest.

no wonder why sugar is very expensive. so they had accumulated this exploitative profit at the expense of the consumers

I was wondering why I don't see St Louis sugar anymore, now forced to buy any kinda sugar on the shelf

why don't you open your own sugar refinery and begin selling at N5 for 50kg. If he makes less than he's peers in other countries, you will complain, insulting buhari and saying Nigeria is bad for business, now that he makes more, u say he is exploiting. Whether you like it or not, this is a testament to the fact that Nigeria is one of the best places in the world to do business.

How much is he paying those that worked out the money. Hope those factory workers risking their lives are paid up to #300k per month.
