How many times did OBJ change Senate leadership just ensure that they cooperate with him?

?

Not as if i cant answer you , But of what relevance is that Question here

if Senate under OBJ were rubber stamps we for get 3rd term by now

whatever he likes he can say, the truth remains unchanged

I dont know Akpabio always misconstrue checks and balances for " Fight" executive .. dont couples disagree, dont children nd parent disagree

So why does Akpabio feel being rubber stamp to executive is the only way for progress

Everyone was eager for Dangote to come in stream because of the scale not because there were no refineries in Nigeria. Has Dangote himself claimed to be the first private refinery in Nigeria?

Honestly it no longer making sense to engage you anymore .. i asked you List those refineries you know and tell there supply to the market.
I just gave you dangote daily production 70m/per day in nov... please by post the other refinery daily productions, fact only abi which kind human being be this

I thought you are a producer So you don't know that producers usually look for new markets to launch their products?

Why should dangote be looking for new Market when the motive of going to Refinery business is because he wanted to solve our dependence problem, which is the motive he carried into cement industry ... he did that refinery becos his main target is Nigeria. export is secondary

You're an economic illiterate. So according to you, when Dangote expands his refinery to 1.4mbpd which equates to approx 120million litres of petrol per day with Nigeria's demand at about 50m, he'll simply leave the remaining 70m capacity to waste till the day Nigeria demands for it. You're a very wise man.

You lack comprehension apparently but how you misconstrue my statement into your low reasoning baffles me .. i just told you Dangote output is now 70million per/day i posted evidence counter it with fact only .. not opinion

See logic again. So somehow you believe that imported fuel which you've claimed is more expensive than Dangote fuel will take 90% of the market. Where did you learn your own economics from?

Lol ! comprehension zero, for a country like Nigeria with lesser infrastructural poor policies n support .. it is cheaper to import than produce in Nigeria call people in business

Dangote is taking loss to make his fuel cheaper cos he needs retain the market ... he said it for the dec price slash he will be losing 90bn watch his last press release

Iist those refineries that were supplying fuel before Dangote came on board, using evidence not opinion

[quote author=Kukutente23 post=137847874]

You've shifted to ability to meet our local demand. When did the existence of a refinery depend on ability to meet demand? You really don't have anything sensible to say. And when did modular refinery become substandard? The fact still remains that refineries were existing in Nigeria before Dangote refinery came onboard. All your other what-ifs are just trash.

Bro why are you holdin back, call it rubbish call it mess, i am not bother since we had this forth n back not one fact you've submited.
You claim we had refineries then why are Nigerians praying for dangote to come, you said we had refinery yet 99% of our consumption was imported,

what is the essence of a diick that cant rise, what is the essence of a refinery wey no get production, it is as good dead or was it built to serve as shelter ... dont you think at all

Can you show clearly which law says total supply is constrained by demand?

Supply is suspectible to Demand on Manufacturers end

if i produce 100 bags of pure water and the total demand i get is for 20bags daily ... my supply is pegged at 20bags .. i cant supply beyond demand common sense naw

Economics says when supply outstrips demand, price falls. Your theory can be found in any text on economics or commerce. It is your own wishful mumbo jumbo.

what are we sayin kini wii, bro take a sit down jare

Where did you see flooding the market with imports. Dangote already owns 60% of the market share acccording to NMDPRA which he himself has not denied. So where did you see your baseless claim that they are trying to run the refinery down with imports? You're just typing ignorantly everywhere!!

IF NDMPRA estimate our daily consumption at 55m litre per day and dangote just hit 70million litre per day, In Nov. Nigeria imported 52.1million litre/day ... that it was imported means the 52.1m must sink within local market, so dangote is left with 3m to supply out of 70m litres he has per day .. how did you expect him to export 67m litre out .. what does the PIA act stipulate
Just carry gun n shoot dangote ..

Tell me that is not flooding .. it is high time you start arguing with facts, lets go facts 4 facts

miracle002:
This is the beauty of competition. If the momentum of this competition is sustained, price of petroleum may come down to 400 per liter by March 2026.

Dangote wanted to gain absolute monopoly over petroleum industry. It won't work, as you slash your price, others will follow suit. Fuel importation will continue and you cannot stop it

Concurrent cliché thats the lies you fill yourself with, how can dangote enforce monopoly when he is not the regulator issuing licenses and he as no authority to ban importation

In Nig. if you try a business n it brings money b4 you know two or four person will open the business right next to

Funnily, Dangote open Refinery ... nobody wan join the business except for easy importation ... 45 licenses issued none is building instead dey divert to import

No capitalist wants competition, its very normal thats why we Have Regulators to ensure entry nd fairness

Now that we have one huge Refinery, our import should be shift from " Flooding" to augment the market with import

if our daily need is 7million litre and Dangote daily output is 2million litre ... regulators should peg import around 5million per day that will give every player a level playing ground, buh continue to import 7million that a sabotage on dangote he as to fight back

Host78:
So I'm just coming from the thread on the new tax laws in simple English and it's funny most people are not seeing the problem.

They use this popular line " If you dey earn small money, Government no go chop your salary wella. But if your salary don big, dem go cut small higher percentage."

But what most people fail to understand is that the tax starts at 800k per year.

Not 800k per month for earners but 800k per year.

How much is 800k per year?

It's 66k per month.

Essentially, if you're earning 66k per month, the government feels you're a "big" earner and should be taxed.

The minimum wage in the country is 70k per month.

This means all minimum wage earners will fall into this tax bracket.

So, who exactly are the "small small earners" that will be exempted from this new tax that they keep pushing?

No one. Essentially, Tinubu is taxing everybody but because it's wrapped in per year, most people have no idea they will be taxed.

I also noticed, Pensineer Gratituty is now Taxable, is it not cummulative deductions for Taxable income over the years, when you tax the lump sum is that not double taxation. this are old men, what they rely on you want to collect inside again, and one ediot will loot the money to send children to school abroad ... the end

Honestly i dont know where this govt boiz schooled they just insult people intelligence every time

Ji

OnionBandit:
Instead of the purveyors of fake news to read and educate themselves, you will see them skip to the next topic (romance or politics) in a hurry.

Now can any sane person tell me how this new tax laws affect the poor more than the rich?

It not a matter of who its affect the Most .. its a case of mission in futility, 1st we have not purged the corrupt system, Govt is just desperate to just make quick easy money the intentions are mere charades. why am i pessismistic, check antecedencec

This same govt told Us Subsidy removal savings will help boost govt revenue to build roads, support health and bring infrastructures, Today ask them one thing subsidy removed as brought as benefit Onanuga n co will attack you as enemy of the country, he is obedient n still pained

This same Tinubu under same year subsidy was removed, hiked import duties & levies claiming it will boost revenue for Govt to carry out development ... it sover 2yrs ask them for one achievement they attack you,

Now the govt is claiming Tax is the solution, Nigerians are not fools, this money will be going into the system, a system still infested with corruption, ... you want me to be happy n optimistic about Tax to govt that is tew big for accountability, a govt sayin join apc and all sins are forgiven .. Please dont tell me UK pay Tax.. they have trustworthy system, they see what they are paying for and they dont sing on your mandate we shall stand in Uk

All i can see is Punishment for Nigerians, cos this Tax money will go same way as subsidy savings , aftermaths Govt will still complain again that we are broke and still go for more loans .... So Nigerians The question of the day is whats our gain voting Bola ahmed, 2027 is around the corner please lets think

[quote author=Kukutente23 post=137840610]

You need to take it easy with the lies
I already told you there are 4 refineries operating in Nigeria before Dangote so your claim that no one built refinery before Dangote is a lie. Besides, why doesn't he want the national refineries to work now since you said he bought them before

lies 🤣 We have modular refineries none is standard enough to even meet 20% of our demands, fact check me n post my lies now
What do you call refineries with decimal impact, i know where dangote refineries fuels are sold.. oga mention one refinery and the station the product is sold to Nigerians

like i asked before, before Dangote came along were the refineries working where they productive ?? think naw how can dangote be a problem to a problem that existed before him

If it's easy gather your family members and build a $20bn refinery now

I dont have a family like farouk, i know its not easy to raise even #1m that why i will never downplay dangote effort d

Govt have 4 refineries. That they are not working does not mean they don't exist. A serious govt will get them working or sell them out to investors

what the different between a penis that cant erect and that of a dead man 😀 those refineries are only a liability to us, maintaince up top weytin no dey work is like an impotent man drinking long jack 5 bottles 🤣 say e dey guide ladies one word for him

Landing cost has always been known before Dangote refinery came on board. Even during the subsidy era, landing cost was known. If you don't know doesn't mean others don't

I wont even follow you n argue on this, farouk getting sack yesterday is a message your mission as failed .. go n think of another sabotage

It was you that chose to eat stony eko rice. Why are you now wailing and cussing rice producers for your choice? When you couldn't get caprice, it was because Buhari wanted to protect rice producers. That's why we're asking you to support rice producers too

its like the more we talk the lower the quality of reasoning .. eko rice nii stony rice you think say you fit see am buy anyhow

i challenge you go n buy it post and i will post my own immediately here 😀 you funny

Is NMDPRA measuring demand or supply? They said Dangote supplied you're here saying what you dont know. You think everyone who has paid money to dangote has gotten fuel today? FYI some payments take a month before they are delivered.

I have told you how it work, your total suppy is confined by total demand its not a testament of your capacity .. find some educated to translate

if i was Farouk i will go to dangote refinery ascertain is daily production per day myself then return to my office to set a augmentation range of import .. thats what it should we are not sayin dangote should have the whole market .. ofcus

Acknowledge we now have the magnitude of Dangote refinery we should be shifting towards " augment import" not ascending to "flood import " ... i.e import to augment buh with the "flooding" import thats a direct attack on dangote.

check any oil producing nation in the world that import, there local supply is always above import.. even the PIA act stated local product must be prioritized
it is only in Nigeria people like farouk think importation overwhelming local supply is a measure to curb monopoly 🤣 how ridiculous abeggi

how i wish you can comprehend what i just said, its tew

If it's not a crime to kill competition why does the US and other developed economies have anti-trust laws? You simply don't know what you're saying

what is he saying bayii who is killing who ? marketer that want to flood the market with large volume of import or Dangote that as maintained a fraction of supply that leaves for others.
If i can survive Nnpc and marketers collabo Monopoly for over 30yrs what is the worst dangote wey we never see . under buhari i bought black market 20litres for 20k about 4yrs ago .. and you dey threaten me with dangote monopoly

Kukutente23:

It's not about thinking you're smart or not. It seems you're unaware that marketers build depots to store their products as well as filling stations etc. I'm not defending their greed cause they were indeed greedy but it is ignorance to accuse them of not building refineries. Let us remember that Dangote at the start of his refinery project had an estimate of $5bn

Ignorant about what exactly, does any marketer own a refinery anywhere in Nig oblivious to fact, even the only Nig. owned refineries Dangote was the only man that tried to buy,
Do you know about 45 licenses was issued out claiming they want to build refinery, none venture into instead they derailed to importing, fast profit dem no one sweat, fine i respect there choice But dont Expect Nigeria to demonize dangote for marketers of all people. that went through shege to build that refinery Nnpc 20% stake dey fvck am up .. i can turn against such Entrepreneur

. Today, you're all claiming he built it for $20bn. So how many people can be able to watch their project cost balloon by 300% and still be able to complete it if not someone well connected getting concessions and protections from the highest places?

Mr what are you saying, Dangote single handedly built a refinery doesnt mean people cant merge resource to build same capacity of refinery ... suddenly Dangote is the only billionaire connected and it is govt that dash him money abi ... if govt connection is that yielding why can't govt help itself to get even build one refinery

When, NNPC was importing, the cost of logistics was factored into the price of the fuel products as well as landing costs. Those costs are no longer there yet Dangote "slashed" prices from 1020 to 950. That's just N70. Is that what you're calling reduction? Do you mean all the logistics and landing costs only amount to N70?

See as you dey quote " cost" .. before dangote expose it can you say this is landing cost or logistic cost for all the years Nnpc frustrated our lives with those rogues marketers.
Honestly i am tryna be calm, in this same country even when dollar rate drop this uselezz men will still sell at high price nd claim old stocks for months, but let dollar increase immediately they don increase price.... you think Nigerians forget all the evil they did to us every december artificial sacarcity go dey .. i see you have very naive around business mgt, pls do your research it cost more to produce in Nigeria than most countries in the world thats why people jump to import ... try own a production business 1st then lets have a real conversation

Meanwhile, NNPC and the marketers before them have to source for dollars to buy products. Dangote gets crude in naira and does not pay for logistics costs as well as a host of other fees since he's in a free trade zone. Are you telling me that the culmination of all these advantages is just N70? If so, why is he slashing prices now and deceiving gullible folks like you that he's looking after their interests?

what are you saying sef, that dangote get crude at naira does it negate its dollar equivalence that said, crude nig. supply to dangote is below 50% of his capacity meaning even Dangote import lets say 50% crude to augment is production. na free wont he also source for dollar and factor in the cost on pricing .. the 4000 CNG trucks he just bought naa elon musk do give away,
You dont know i will tell yoy Dangote bears more cost than any marketer and he is paying loan interest than any marketer presently

And for your info, marketers, employ more people as a whole than the refinery can.

Bro which kind talk be this, whole vs one man how is that tenable . do you even know the numbers of marketers in total why are you this biase

Dangote fuel is cheaper in Togo than Nigeria. If he's selling below international market, why are the marketers importing fuel?

If Dangote fuel is cheaper in togo how did you arrive at cheap .. togo currency is beneath naira, Do you know as we are complaining fuel is expensive now @ #900/litre it is also less than America $0.76/litre they tew will feel fuel exported to Nigeria is cheaper if they reason like average Nigerians do. You are way behind, some things iyou suppose know sentiments don cloud you

This thing is not hard to understand na. If you're talking of head to head, Dangote is just one producer. He is employing people just as Olams and Mama Gold are employing. They are also big rice mills. But there are small rice producers and small rice mills such that if you count it, the rice industry employs far more people than a refinery can.

When you talk do you listen to yourself, how can you be collating employers against one employer, its not tenable anywhere. Everybody they answer im papa name no be so dem talk am

Since Dangote proposed

15% levy as an ordinary citizen, why don't you as an ordinary citizen also propose fuel to be sold at N500? Let's see how far your "ordinary citizen" proposal goes. Stop joking abeg. Can you even propose the sweeping of your street to your LG chairman not to talk of proposing import duty?

Omg ! at this point Bro you need standard education.. No one has right to propose price of what they dont produce or sell, as a citizen my right ends with proposing policies or sponspor a bill thats what dangote did, your elected have choice to Say No.

You see yourself now. You were going for cheaper rice that had stone because you did not want to buy expensive brands but you're here advocating for expensive fuel. Why didn't you buy Olams, Big bull, Mama Gold brands that were premium and best quality?

what you do not kbow do not say, i didnt go for local rice at some point we couldnt get foreign caprice long grain i eat then our customer compel us to try the local she has

big bull, Mama gold give me free i will dash it out ... for local naa eko rice i dey buy

You couldn't afford it and you started buying stony rice and you turn round to blame the producers!! You're simply unstable.

Do you know under GEJ naa two bags of rice i dey buy it even less than 20k then 😀

According to NMDPRA, Dangote supplied just about 30m litres of petrol to the market in November out of a total demand of 49m leaving a shortage of 19m litres. Yet you praise him. And you're angry with rice farmers for not meeting local demand!

lol !! what you dont know is bigger than you, FiY supply is susceptible and confine to Demand accurately .. if the demand dangote got at his factory is 30m that is what he as to dispatch thats not a measure of his capacity

Dangote sometime nd it make loud sense, they say i dont have the capacity have they ever visited my refinery nd i fail to meet demand ... till today not one record of dangote disappointed me, test this man and expose him go with camera expose him once n for all

Oga Dangote was getting subsidized dollars from Emefiele. Seems you don't read the news. His offices were raided when Emefiele was being investigated and he had to get his late Uncle to bail him out of Tinubu's wahala then. Go and check these things.

Mr Dangote collected subsidized dollar no be secret, when Tinubu came in Efcc went to burst Dangote office .. whats the outcome 🤣
why is dangote not chillin next to Enmiefele in prison. when will you people say he is using charm, i am expecting that 🤣🤣

Of course we all want refineries and we all want refineries to work but ask yourself. Does Dangote want Nigeria's refineries to work? Is he not looking for all means to ensure the refineries do not work? He even said it himself!!

Dangote refinery started 2024, all the time ge was not in the oil industry why una four refineries no work, or Did Nigeria begin 2024 Dangote is even the only one asking question why is 45 license issued for refinery and all are not building anything .. thats the man that dont want more refineries 😀

No capitalist want competition thats not evil or crime we are all guilty that is why regulation and authority is place in non player.

I strongly believe its because people have option to import that why they dont wana consider refinery, humans love easy route

Even seyI Tinubu thats not contesting has a battalion following him around. forget Peter obi is a free man

Kukutente23:

It's obvious you're not conversant with how this thing works. The price they marketers were selling was the price set by Dangote for the market.

lol ! i am not wasiu under bridge naw, What was the price Dangote met, lets start from there was he cheap .. the highiest price we've bought pms per litre is 1019/1020 as announced by NNpc in oct 2024, since dangote dominanted pricing we consistent go lower in price than we ever saw from Nnpc

That's why stations like NIPCO, Matrix, Bovas were selling at same price with him. They soon realised that his price was higher than the international price which is why they asked for license to import.

There was never anytime marketers or Nnpc sold fuel lower than dangote, therefore i challenge you to post the period and time Dangote sold above int'l market price ..lets go fact

When he got wind of this, he slashed prices in a bid to force them to sell at the international market price so that they have little or no profit margin compared to if they were selling at his own price

I have told you all these talks wont hold water or sway any judge, you see Farouk life you saw his reponse .. complete embrassing, despite all his qualification schooled abroad ... sentiment, emotions void of evidences is meaningless
.

That's why he was asking for 15% duty on fuel imports so that they will not be able to go below his price if they import. Imagine that it takes 15% levy for imported fuel to measure up to his price. In other words, for every N100 of fuel you buy from him, there's a N15 overhead compared to the international market price

Dangote as a private citizen has right to propose anything, even you tew can propose anything, its never a crime to lookout for your " interest" But thats why we have Authorities who at the end of the day weigh nd do whats best for All, no be say Dangote give order naw so no crime

In other words, it could have been bought for N85. So how is he helping you?

Dangote is helping Us for the virtual fact that he alone reduce the cost of energy for business and household, both on diesel n petrol who marketers help ova profit is all they think about

If you run a business and I hope it's not buying and selling, and you want to support your fellow producer, why are you shying from supporting rice producers to sell rice at 90kg per bag?

i cant support the Rice farmers like i support Dangote becos the Buhari administration as expose me to see the Rice industry are not serious, Buhari govt locked up Nigeria border gave grants n support But what we saw was inadequacies, we saw greed .. local rice was so expensive, we ate stone rice, infact its was an era inadequacies We could meet demand, farmers collect govt grant n use it to buy car, houses, No Revolutonist in that sector .. so my waste my Support there

Is it because their names are not Dangote and they don't have the influence to make the govt take actions that will favour them?

If every govt is supporting Dangote Maybe he as paid is dues and i think tell your bosses to drop there ego n learn from this Revolution man, if you insist govt is supporting dangote please who wants to build cement factory or refinery that Govt blocked or fought against. You know there were so many rumour lagos govt gave dangote this that until dangote came out to refute the rumour i paid lagos govt in full nd they gave me nothing, govt couldnt counter
Nnpc was supposed to contribute 20% stake but they did 7% and intentional backout hoping it will sabotage Dangote ... the man had to find a way to meet target .. you think is easy and rosy for him try you see all the white hair on is head suddenly
The naira swap deal is not a Help, he is paying dollar equivalence dollarized economic is detrimental to our naira.

Rice farming employs more people than Dangote refinery can ever dream of employing

You cloud by hate, No single rice farmer in Nigeria has over 500 staff at a go. you cant play clever plus all rice farmers against one man. it as to be H2H
Please mention one Rice farmer that has more staff than Dangote cement, is it lagos govt rice farm oya talk the numbers

It is simply because you are not understanding even as you're reading. He made the price slashes to discourage imports not to sell at the true market value. If he was selling at true market value, he won't slash prices just because of imports.

What Dangote is doing what we Nigerians have always clamoured for why wil a oil producing nation be 99% dependent, they blamed Refinery now Dangote took the pain nd risk to provide that Refinery then regulators want to increase import license .. as Dangote or a neutral Nigeria e make any sense
They will cite " competition" .. Buh the ideal competition health for the economy nd all .. is Refinery vs Refinery as import is detrimental to your balance of trade nd forex

Marketers do not get subsidized dollars like Dangote got. They do not get crude at naira price. They do not get exemptions and waivers like him. In actual fact, he should be selling far below their prices. That they can match his price is due to his greed

You think you are smart, Marketers got subsidy even though junk of it was fraud, tew many corruption and its because of Marketers conduct Nigerian are suffering no more subsidy, Dangote got subsidized dollar nd have a Refinery to show Your marketers. that collected subsidy for many years what do they have to show that benefit the economy except for themselves, family and mistress.
Dangote as done what any of the marketers will never do, so he can enjoy what marketers cant enjoy if e pain you, go find $25bn build your own refinery n promote importation bill ..

Hi

Kukutente23:
Till now you haven't explained why Dangote was selling his products at high price until he heard about imports
You've still not advocated for rice producers to be allowed to sell their products at 90k per bag instead of artificially crashing the price with imports. In fact, you even defended that practice
I see you defended MRS also benefiting from subsidy via imports and you even went further
And I can see how you also justified cement price with garri
In all these, what's obvious is that you support Dangote being a shylock but don't want others to carry out their own shylock. I wonder how that makes sense to you or how it makes you look to yourself.
The idea behind local production is to drive down prices. A situation where local production is more expensive than imports especially when the producer is getting cheaper inputs and not having to deal with high logistics cost suggests greed.

lol ! lets use october and Nov. then, please tell us Which filling station is selling less than MRS or dangote subsidiaries

Was Nnpc pump price lower than MRS before now .. so how did you arrive at Dangote price was the highest ??

Bro, I know Business I Run Business I understand what it takes to be a Producer in Nigeria,. its only logical i support Dangote for now cos his interest up till now as being beneficial to me, nigerians and even you antagonizing him. I support Dangote because i know he is Patrotic. That man as done practically what no Man as done in Nig. say he is making money, others tew are making money what have they done for Nigeria.
Dangote is always thinking of setting up things that will touch all class rich or poor ... that man has no luxury business.

Someone that can afford to pay #5m dollar for school fee .. apparently Farouk with a Merger is capable to Build Dangote worth of refinery But they will never take that risk

If you agree the idea of lndustrialization is to drive down prices, (lets even disregard environment factors) .. thats what Dangote have done in the last 2years now b4 he came fuel was over 1k per litre .. he made the 1st slash to 900+ then 800+

To cut the epistle short ... Please tell us one Time marketers sold fuel below dangote price, even NNPC remind me one time i buy fuel all around

So the detained Nigeria officers in Burkina Faso have been released after we send delegation to meet with Traore for diplomacy.

To those who expected things to escalate, those who forgot about Nigeria sovereignty but suddenly remember Benin and Burkina Faso, you have as usual been disgraced.

Same culprits, same set of people, pulling same destructive stunts for years while they think Nigerians are not keeping records of their actions, activities and behavior.

They have used their selfishness to scatter their future political headway as they are just too emotional to swallow today's loss

They have nothing to write about the past, their present have no bearing while their future is blurry due to their chronic bitter politics

Bro you are just in fight with Some shadows,. Does it even look like Nigerians are interested or what is happening inside Nigeria is not enough bother

As much as we Need Principled System we must always check the personalities behind

This is not about choosing Dangote, its about justice, doing the right thing and letting off a liability .. Farouk is compromised nd reeks of personal interest

Is Dangote even in the down stream sector so whats the point of picking dangote or as Dangote being named the NMDPRA boss

Kukutente23:
You don't seem to understand anything
When was the price slashed? Was it before they imported or after?

Howfar my friend, how is your boss Farouk this morning 🤣, i told you Dangote is a Revolution if you know what that means

Dangote as paid hos dues in Nig. such that he as earned so much respect and influence ..... go across the country you will see Danote SR to communities, We can tosses that kind of a person for who ??

Marketers or Farouk that can never never think of Nigerians in anything except there pocket. Happy Retirement

weytin be concern Elder abi atenu Elders, sycophancy just after there pocket .... whether you accept it or not fact is fact

as at yesterday shebi we had some Nigerian Defending Farouk, so anybody can talk

no

Tupacx:
It only means Tinubu is doing something right.

Dangote has had it so easy all his life and had his way with every government to the detriment of all. If you know, you know

To the detriment of All how, as any of tried to take the risk dangote takes

when he went into cement industry.... we only had one now lafarage that was struggling ... no investor want to take that risk But he came nd promised he will startup cement factory.. today Nigeria no longer import cement

We all know the story of Oil sector, Refinery is almost like a myth in Nig. people will collect licenses and derail into importing .. Dangote came along and made Refinery a reality .. So what are people like you antagonizing the Man for.

What do you mean easy, the 1st capital he had was borrowed from is uncle .. is borrowing easy

Do you know other business Dangote have shook head and he failed, if you wear that man shoe in one day naa BP go kpai you

koning:
In all these, Dangote Refineries MUST not be allowed to become a monopoly.

Competition is good. That's the sure way for the citizens to benefit from lower petrol and diesel prices.

I don't give a hoot about the man that resigned or who Tinubu appoints.

Tinubu must not play Dangote scripts. We have not recovered from the price of Cement.

its not about Dangote becoming a monopoly, what should worry you is that 45 licenses have being issued for people to build refinery Buh they are not building instead they derail to import

We cant blame Dangote if no one wants to take risk n build Refinery .. refinery vs refinery thats the ideal competition

i wont classify producer vs middlemen as Reasonable competition

Fountainofyouth:
He needs to be arrested and jailed, no civil servant of Nigeria, whether you head an agency or not, can ever earn millions of dollars, not naira o, dollars, so he's a thief, a kleptomaniac stealing from we the taxpayers, for him to drop that much for school fees means there are more where that came from

Ole barawo, Dan iska

why am i always surprised to see you around this your mointain which day you go come down .. 🤣

Zionmdde:
Dangote and his monopolistic gimmicks. Let him kwantinue.
Am sure the man was asked to resign

Nevertheless, a man without guilt is not afraid of scrutiny

Uncle go and build Refinery if you want to competite .. ask your family to contribute like Farouk family contribute $5m for his children school

whoever wrote that press release for farouk deserves 100 strokes on cane where hand no fit reach

Goodlady:

Proudlyngwa:
Ogbeni like I said stop justifying rubbish
Emotions don't get to determine what is right or wrong, if it is an arrestable offence , u will be arrested,
That others have not been arrested does not stop it from being an arrestable offence

if govt start throwin people in jail becos they make comment they dont like or feel insulted how is it different from Military regime

Do you know the number of things apc said against jonathan in 2015, liein mohammed even said awful things, they carried jonathan coffin nd danced.. whats more hurtful than that ... how many apc people are in jail

Twitter .. blocked Trump account on there platform did he launch missiles on twitter, can nairaland ban Tinubu and National assembly wont call for his head

On what ground is sending people to jail becos you feel insulted/hurt ... is that not " EMOTION tew

Ji

Proudlyngwa:
Stop justifying rubbish

If it is a punishable offence, it will be punished

That Buhari ignored others did not stop what they did from being wrong.

Say Goodswill Akpabio is dead online, when you are picked up, give all this flimsy excuses.

So bant and insult is a Punishable offence ... we cant justifying social media insult But Govt can come to Tv and tell us Bandits are not criminals

In a Nation some ordinary low lives killed a whole general posted it online and Govt acted like nothing happened

it is Nigerians online venting there frusturation to insult Govt .. that one must be punished n sent to jail

While Bandit are asked to drop there weapon and enjoy govt rehabilitation ... how insane can a Nation be abeg

Proudlyngwa:
Nigerians and gaslighting

Anyone caught saying Akpabio is dead , should be thoroughly dealt with.


Let's stop giving room for rubbish to grow

.
But Bandits can ravage villages, kill people collect ransom and flaunt bundle of cash online and govt will tell Nigeria they are not using glo naija they cant track dem

But some that joking said Akpabio is dead online should be tracked at all cost and sent to jail

Are we SANE in this country at all, people said Buhari was dead when he was president despite being a fmr General how many people lock up for jail, Reno said all kind of unorintable things about buhari naa that same Reno be Ambassor today .. reno that started the manbin aso rock is jubril, see his ear .. smh we are a disgrace to the world tru tru

This is what usually happens when people are ignorant. They make heroes of villians
I guess MRS is not a marketer and was not part of those cashing out in those years

You know your biggest mistaking is thinking you can confuse me, bro i am not average

MRS at a time followed the flow when there was no refinery no dangote ... where there is no law there is no crime ... and mind you one of favourite filling station is MRS as far as 2012 the one after ikeja along ... there fuel is very good and one of the lesser price just like Bovas .. these are marketers with good track records .. lil wonder they are on dangote side

lol ! Do you even know cement history in Nig. before Dangote came on board .. Nigeria was largely importing cement because the company now lafarafe in Nig couldnt even meet it own capacity talk more of Nigeria demand, Dangote came in as temporary importer and promised a obasanjo if he can give him license and needed grounds he will built a cement factory that will end cement import in Nig... today we all can see the revolution impact

[quote]Are you even aware that Dangote was importing cement and killing local cement factories before he went into cement production? You simply don't know anything

.
Tell that story to mukiala under oshodi bridge .. Do your Research Dangote was the revolution in cement industry.

Dangote is now your saviour but you're paying the highest price for cement in Africa. Clap for yourself

What is cheap in Nigeria to begin with, if garri can be expensive then why must it be Cement that will be cheap. A man that did what nobody could do in cement before he entered and also built a refineries all leaders of Nigeria put together cannot do .. if ascribe as " Saviour" no be overstatement.

Is it only dangote that sell cement, why are others brands not very cheap is it dangote that set price for them tew

Another example of your ignorance is your belief that only Dangote has a refinery in Nigeria. Nigeria already had 4 private refineries operating before Dangote's own.

Alol ! you are very funny man, those ones naa refineries .. there capacity cant even feed Lagos alone 🤣. father wey dey alive but cant cater for his family no be deadbeat we dey call am, So what should we call refinery that as no contribution ... you ever see news or marketers make dem talk about them

The only difference is the scale and we all know the scale is possible because of govt backing not any ingenuity.

Govt backing, is it Govt that can not repair ... ordinary repair 25yrs naa story But it Govt that gave Dangote refinery 🤣 they cant even fix there own 🤣🤣🤣

So Dangote knows the clowns he's deceiving when he's claiming to be the only refinery in Nigeria.

Mention one local refinery and one filling station i can buy there product in lagos .. can you 😀

Unfortunately for you, the marketers just dictated the prices because the price slash is as a result of the activities of the marketers. You can try to turn it anyhow you like but the fact remains that if there were no imports, you'll still be buying fuel at 935-950

.
Ok, won sè ooo ... if one person own no spoil one person own no fit good .. more woes to Marketers, person wey dictate price kum dey cry cry 🤣
Since these marketers are being patrotic now please import more So dangote can slash price again ooo ! 🤣 as e dey pain dem e dey sweet us
