Dangote truly provides job at high scale.

There is an ongoing misconception about his wealth being a product of national favouritism.Of course, without the country setting him up, he would have been among the myriads of entrepreneurs suffering unfavourable policies and protocols.

But honestly, his success doesn't owe to just that;it owes to the fact that the misconception is true.

Tiring analysis.
Don't waste your time mate, there are people in this country that own oil wells and all they do is to store their money up in Swiss accounts.
The man knows how to invest that's all.
The guys that own gtb saw the licence adverts and they applied.

You're right @BabaOwen. And it's a shame the man has never come out till today to apologise to the people of the state (at least to show some empathy for that loss).
Anyway, thank God we have a brain like Fashola who acted proactively to see that the region didn't, as a result of such greed of Mimiko. lose the project.

Re: Dangote Refinery Named Among 20 Most Influential Projects by Ghostmode2two(m): 12:12pm On Dec 05, 2020
The refinery should start refining petroleum so as to make Nigeria stop importing fuel from Niger, China and what have you. That is all I want to hear
Re: Dangote Refinery Named Among 20 Most Influential Projects by PHAYOL81: 12:16pm On Dec 05, 2020
You're right @BabaOwen. And to think the man has never come out to tender an apology for the miss is a shame to behold.
Anyway, thank God for having a brain like Fashola who proactively ensured the project stays in the region despite.
Otherwise, no sane Omoluabis would've been able to forgive Mimiko for such blunder.

DANGOTE is delivering and that is why he deserves respect and more chance.
Re: Dangote Refinery Named Among 20 Most Influential Projects by oluade11: 12:53pm On Dec 05, 2020
At least we will stop depending on oyinbos for refined crude oil. We will now depend on Dangote.
Re: Dangote Refinery Named Among 20 Most Influential Projects by Nobody: 1:00pm On Dec 05, 2020
In 2030, Dangote refinary will refine water. Because even water will be worth more money than crude oil. That's the projected year when most continents will allow only electric cars on their roads. And before you lecture me about airplanes and ships using crude oil, that's just 18% compared to 47% consumed by road transportation. It's gonna be bloody for Nigeria, 1 dollar will be 2000 naira grin

Na Nigeria we dey we no go hear. Because of ordinary 5k you sold your vote. The North will ensure they suppress and there's no damn thing you can do here in South. We all Wail #4yearsSubscription#
Re: Dangote Refinery Named Among 20 Most Influential Projects by johnhood(m): 1:09pm On Dec 05, 2020
It is a good project let see the impact it will have on fuel price.
We need to have opposite of EFCC( damn! I have forgotten the full meaning ) in Nigeria that investigate the source of people's poverty. Poverty is too much in Nigeria.

Dangote has really benefited from the Nigerian govt, no wonder he doesn't support any political party, always neutral cheesy
Stop using the word political neutral, he is the main main main financier of any party and candidate that is favoured to win an election in Nigeria most esp. presidential candidate sincere OBJ era (1999) till now in exchange of our resources (lime stone,ports etc) and exploitation of the populace.

He is the head of economic cabal in naija as Buhari is the head of political cabal. That's why he could place 1500naira increments on cement and the govt irrespective of their party couldn't challenge him and his economic cabal members. They are all unfortunate people sniffling life out of Nigerians.

Criminal business man. A man who's notorious for crony capitalism. Lobby government to make policies that will Favour him alone.
A man who single-handedly determine the price of essential goods and services in nation of 200 million people should be chilling behind bars. This man is simply living the dream that Rockefeller had always wanted with the oil economy in the US. Fortunately, US Government realized that and cut him to sizes.
Dem no born Dangote well to go and compete in the European or Asian markets, they'll put him in jail for business malpractices. African is poor continent that's why he gets away with this nonsense.
Before anyone bashes me, ask yourself, what's the price of cement? If they allow for cement importation, we can't buy a bag for more than a #1500. Criminal Dangote. He couldn't compete in the noodles market neither could he compete in the flour business. He only enjoys where he controls the largest share of the market so that he can change the price whenever he likes. Let this touted refinery come on board first, Nigerians will cry blood by the time he's done with us.
Child of hate, who is suffering from the success of others. If not because of booming cement production there is no way u can buy cement at less than N15k on importation. Use dollar-naira ratio to assess ur delusional prediction. Dangote is so intelligent to enter food business at early part of his life because a country with more than 100m ppl must eat and definitely there must be a good return in food business particularly the commonest food we eat. Nigeria is the best place to make money if u're wise therefore if u accused him of not competing in Europe and asia then u should ask urself why many of them also chose to stay there? is it by force? ppl enter business that is profitable and in fact most businesses in Europe and Asia are already competing hard.
If u think Dangote has monopoly of business then u're idiot, it seems like the business is monopolised because most Nigerians are afraid of competetion bt Dangote is too bold for that. Many Nigerians were given CBN loan worth billions of naira to build refineries but divert he money for other businesses but this man is building his own with his money just because he's not ur man u're finger pointing baseless accusations on him.


Below is his interview with bloomberg:

Excerpts of the interview bordering on his overseas investments is reproduced below:

Bloomberg: So do you think you’ll ever get into renewables?

Aliko Dangote: We will get into renewables, of course, but we’ll try and partner. Beginning in 2020 our major investment will be in the U.S. and Europe.

Bloomberg: And that will be in renewables?

Aliko Dangote: I think renewables is the only way to go forward, and the future.

Bloomberg: How much do you intend to invest outside Africa?

Aliko Dangote: Beginning in 2020, 60 percent of our future investments will be outside Africa, so we can have a balance.

Bloomberg: Where outside Africa will that investment be concentrated?

Aliko Dangote: Mostly in Europe and the U.S., but we can also invest in Asia, in Mexico.

Bloomberg: What businesses other than renewables?

Aliko Dangote: We are looking at petrochemicals but can also invest in other companies. We must believe in the management and what they are doing. But the priorities are here for now. In 2020 the priorities will change, and we’ll diversify because we will have the cash to divest.

Bloomberg: By 2020, how much money can you put in the U.S. or Europe?

Aliko Dangote: Let’s say that by 2025, I’m looking at between $20 billion and $50 billion. Mind you, we don’t do small things.

Bloomberg: How do you think it will go over with the people in those countries?

Aliko Dangote: The market is already big. It’s a big fight. Big enough for everyone. We will not go alone. We will have partners, too. Having partners there makes a lot of sense.

His main investment has been in cement production. He has diversified into agriculture and has entered oil and petrochemical business.

In the past he responded to issues about why he won’t rather invest in Nigerian clubs rather than an English club, “The issue is that if I buy all the Nigerian clubs, the Nigerian flags will continue to remain here.

‘‘But buying Arsenal will take the Nigerian flag worldwide. Just like whenever Abramovich is mentioned, the name of his country, Russia comes up. Everyone knows he’s Russian,” Dangote had said.

Lies. Carry you jankara statistics comot for here. The North has the lowest rate of unemployed ppeople. Apart from Company workers, Federal Civil servants, Police, Soldiers, Staff of NNPC, NiMASA, NTA, DSS, NPA, NTA, PENCOM, INEC, National Assembly, Presidency and all lucrative Federal Agencies who are all Northerners. Other Northerners who don't work with these federal Agents, a larger percent of Northers are Business mogul, captain of industries, others are Business men and women. The other percent are into Farming, they are the ones that are feeding this nation.

Nobody is jobless in the North. Everyone is engaged in doing one thing or the other.If you want to see jobless people, come to the South. Imo State houses over 50% of unemployed people in this Country. Other Eastern States share 35% from the unemployed list
