Goodlady:
Don't ever mention my name again

buh you suppose know you are not anywhere good naw whu dey decieve you lady

[quote author=Kukutente23 post=137823333]You're simply tone deaf

Dangote gives reduction to mum competition not that he cares for Nigerians

Bro we Nigerians dont care or give a fvck so far it covers our interest and benefit ...all man for himself.
All this years your employer the Marketers have being cashing out in billion they remember us .. abeg dont patronize us

The price reduction you're crediting him for is being forced on him by the same marketers you're vilifying. If there were no imports, Dangote wouldn't have reduced price.

If i was an average thinker maybe your arguement would have hold me, you cant posit " Force" Becos Dangote had the " Option to connive with Cabals nd continue to rip Nigerians But he chose this path to be an opposition to status quo. if he was greed he will party along with marketers n saughter Nigerians anyhow .... But he said No i dont mind losing billions on this path i chose

What I see from your comment is that you prefer to replace greedy marketers with greedy Dangote just because he owns a Refinery and they don't. I wonder how that makes sense to you.

You can substantiate dangote is Greed, because he not taking what belongs to others to his own. he as not taking anybody refinery or demand nobody else build refinery

One of the question Dangote ask Farouk is that 45 licenses for refinery was issued But why is it no one has built refinery to join him ... now is that a greed man

You can't force marketers to build refineries. Vitoil that has been supplying Dangote crude from the international market is also a marketer. Why don't you tell them to stop supplying him crude and go build their own refinery

If is a taboo to build refine, Fine But let your employers know Marketers are in no position or range to dictate prices where A producer exist

If you believe that imports should be stopped, simply advocate for importation of rice to stop as well. Rice farmers are Lord. They should be able to fix price for you to buy at 90k per bag. The present price of 60k is killing the farmers!

Using Rice, wont save you from me Nigeria rice is not better than foreign rice, it logical to consume foreign rice
Nigeria crude is consider top quality in the world so what the rationale to continue importing low quality fuel .. even price wise local fuel is cheaper . your bosses can do whatever But if they think they can sabotage Dangote .. they will meet there dooom cos Nigerians will come for them.

Go n read the history of importation od cement, how Nigerian was highly dependent on importation till dangote revolutionized the cement imdustry .. today are self sufficient plus other brand .. that is the Greed man.

who the hell is Farouk father in Nigeria ...who the hell is any marketer let them come nd tell one thing they did for Nigeria. Dangote will be losing 9billion just to put smiles on Nigerians face this December .. Tell me what your employer do for Nigerians

[quote author=emkz post=137821341]Aliko:

1. Is it true that our refinery cannot meet daily demand in Nigeria?

How did Farouk arrive at that assertion, Dangote cant meet our demands, why not set him up with a test and show Nigeria Dangote cant meet out needs, as any marketer ever come out to complain they went to the refinery nd there demand was not met .. common sense

2. If that is the case, why do you want to monopolize the market?

Did dangote throw bomb into our seaport, cos how else can he monopolized a sector he is not regulating licenses.. common sense

3. If your refinery cannot meet daily demand, is it not fair for import licenses to be granted to those who can support your own output?

Farouk should present @least two occasions Dangote failed to meet demands in the last two years .. show us

4.You hold press conferences every month as if you are briefing Nigerians on the state of your refinery. In your latest press conference, you published the names of NMDPRA's children and the schools they attended and the fees they paid. You failed to link those fees to corruption. We expected you to submit evidence of him receiving money illegally or engaging in corruption

.

You can only gaslight people below you, 1st its not Dangote job to link an allegation to corruption, thats the job of efcc. Whistle blowing all about suspicion it is left for the authority to investigate n get the fact
Farouk is a public figure, the fact that is name is on Wikepedia means is children name are bound to be online .. So dangote is not revealing a national secret

5. You are at loggergeads because he granted import licenses. Why don't you lobby legislators to amend the PIA to ensure NMDPRA cannot grant such licenses?

I can rationalized Dangote going after farouk, it is to protect is investment rite ! But please Why is Farouk so much against Dangote .. he was the 1st to launch Dangote fuel is inferior even without a test .. What is Farouk interest in this battle, dont tell me he is fighting for Nigerians cos thunder wil strike

6. You attempted to penetrate the noodles market and left it as quickly as you came in because Dufil Prima already dominated the market. Are you afraid of competition?

What you dont know you dont know, In business you stick to terrain you understand and have leverages. is plain stewpidity to compete in business you know You dont have leverages. no business man prays for competition buh its something you have no choice

7. Scale up production, plug loopholes and sell at prices Nigerians can afford. That way, you'd take a significant chunk of market share. Engaging in monthly smear campaign and attacking someone's children is not how to run a business. That is introducing political smear campaign in the corporate world. Until the refinery attains full capacity, import licenses are to continue.

Is business strategy to survive is nobody fvcking business, you also have all right to do your own strategy .. let the best man win thats what competition is about .. wailing, sentiments are not tenable here
How does revealing your children school fee, put your children in danger .. is school fee a thing of secrecy now

We appreciate Aliko for building a refinery to meet Nigeria's energy needs. I suggest he buys out the marketers and take over their assets

Keep your hypocrisy to yourself, appreciate it or not, Dangote have come to stay, it is the Markeeters that should evolve cos the game as change .. merge build a refinery thats how to match up to Dangote competition

Oi

Kukutente23:
What are you saying? So you prefer that Dangote keep prices high than obtains in other places? Your said yourself that the marketers said they'll buy from where it's cheapest. Why are you wailing that they bought from outside where it's cheapest? Why did Dangote refuse to drop his price until they bought theirs if he really cares for you and I
You're the one admonishing everyone not to play victim you're still the one making excuses for Dangote

I think your question should be direct at you, what are you even rabbling about ??

Dangote as given Nigerians price reduction more than any govt ever did in Nig. history ... we thot this thing as pricing coming down in Nig is a Myth .. until dangote came along

These marketers have always being around, they extort Nigerians, cheat Nigerians and oil sector was opaque, the landing cost or
fuel cost was a Top classified secret until Dangote expose us to cost & pricing

Dangote as a producer is regulated by int'l market price he cant over do Buh he can go below int'l market price .. understand that i see you dont know alot of things even tho you can write english

Wailing ! from look of things your camp are the ones wailing Dangote is a producer he can switch price at anytime he owes no rival or marketer considerations .. so do your thing and let dangote do what he must do

i will keep reminding you, Dangote is a Producer by virtue of chain of distribution he is the "Lord" ... marketers are glorified " middlemen" if it is a must they oppose Dangote then they have to build refinery to match up to Dangote .. we Nigerians welcome that

ImIfeyinwaWj:
Farouk Ahmed should have simply ignored Dangote. The billionaire's petition to ICPC is laughable.

A fish knows Shark can not be ignored, you dont belong to the ocean why you know nothing

You think Dangote will come out fully if he is not sure of the allegation .. he just guessed abi
dey play

matify83:
Nobody asked him for his CV

He's refused to address how his emoluments can cater for the humongous amount spent on his children's schooling which dwarfs every kobo he will ever earn as a federal civil servant of 30 years standing.

His claims of family contributions and father's business is hogwash and balderdash which can not withstand rigorous scrutiny.

He keeps talking about fuel quality when his agency doesn't have a lab!

Oga farouk said he as being saving his salary for decades ... 🤣 we know dey save

buy Hu

SisterAnn:
Farouk's defense is watery at it's best.

So in that 30yrs of working in the industry, he was not spending from his salary? Was he just stashing them somewhere for when his children would go to school in Switzerland.

He mentioned his rich father's contribution to the said lifestyle and I was like there we go again.

Just like tinubu when asked about the source of his stupendous wealth, he said he inherited wealth from family real estate! Only he failed to tell us if it was his iragbiji family or his adopted isale Eko own.

Let ICPC do their work.

Dangote too is not without dirt, it's in the best of farouk's interest to dig them and splash them on him. Tit for tat

We'd be watching from this side 🙁

Alol !. I am really interested in these cases .. someone with annual compensation of 48million can not even get loan of 1billion from any bank

The question i will love to ask Farouk is .. if he saves that 48m yearly consistent .. how many years does he feel it will take him to gather 1 billion

You can be on legit annual earning of 48m as a man nd think of #500m school for your children sef

He said scholarship covers 60% of .. $5m, so how did someone on #48m annual income come up with $2m balance ... family contribution .. mmm!

Maxymilliano:
His late dad must be in the league of Warren Buffett

this people just assume Nigerians know nothing .. see defence family contribution, scholarship
Your Annual personal income 48m nd you can pay 5billion school fee,the family supporting you must be mard


like seriously !!!!

Koralords:
dangote is just pained,wetin concern am with person children,evem naming the children thats very annoying

IF it annoys you please as what, Maternal mother or what, are names of children suppose to be top secret or classified information .. are you so naive you dont even know there names are on wikepedia anyone can see

Richiest man in Africa is pained that what ... shebi naa $5m farouk pay, Dangote is ready to lose 90billion in a month for the new price

Dangote is pained ?? that he cant send his grand child to $5m school or what people here are funny

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

Mr man ! it a Competition ... not team work, business is not joint force, its rivalry

Even if it is next day after they imported, its doesnt concern anybody...are they not aware Dangote just scaled up production tew, meaning he has much volume to push, Importers going to bring more fuel is detrimental to dangote supply
Moreso Dangote once said it cost him so much loss to store unsold than the losses he bears when he uslash prices .. this are business dynamics i dont expect average people to comprehend, if Dangote dont look out for his business who will
He clearly stated for the new price slash he is going to lose 90billion in a month But i understand is permutation that must have being a lesser sacrifice compared to cost he will bear on storing excess unsold .. besides production is never complete until it get to consumer,

Marketers are not on the same Business level as Dangote, the risk level and survival dynamics of Refinery are on another level ... it doesnt matter whether they understand or not But they must know its " Rivalry" if you are not buying from him

when we are rivals your gain is my lose and vice versa .. so make nobody play victim

Flangelo12:
I clearly stated they would look at status.

There was a time VDM was summoned If I remember correctly.

You cant find an answer or e no dey, ojulari was summoned and till now he dey carry dem play .. lets drop the arguement i wasnt born yesterday

Flangelo12:
Yes, the Nigerian Senate can issue warrants to compel attendance during its investigations, and refusing to comply is an offense, but the power to actually imprison is nuanced.

Power to Issue Warrants
The Nigerian Senate (as part of the National Assembly) is empowered by Section 89 of the Constitution and the Legislative Houses (Powers and Privileges) Act to conduct investigations and procure evidence. This includes the explicit power to:
Order the attendance of witnesses.

Issue a warrant to compel the attendance of a person who has failed to honor a summons.
This warrant is issued by the President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House, as the case may be, and is executed by a police officer.
Power to Jail
While the Senate can issue warrants and an officer of the legislative house has the power to arrest individuals who commit offenses contrary to the Legislative Houses (Powers and Privileges) Act within the precincts of the house, the Senate itself does not have the authority to impose jail sentences directly.
Refusal to attend or refusal to answer questions is an offense under the Act, and those who commit such offenses can be arrested.
However, the resulting legal proceedings are typically considered judicial proceedings for certain purposes, meaning the offenses would be prosecuted in a court of law, which has the power to impose punishment, including imprisonment. The Senate cannot act as a court to jail people directly, as the Constitution subjects the exercise of legislative powers to the jurisdiction of the courts and does not grant the legislature the power to create laws with retrospective criminal effect or oust court jurisdiction.
In practice, the Senate can arrest and detain individuals briefly for contempt within its premises, but any substantial punishment, such as a jail term, must be decided by a proper court through the due legal process.

what i asked was very simple, give me an example of someone Senate or court as jailed becos he refuse to attend senate summon

Reading a full textbook of law to me is even more strenuous than my request

Has ojulari honor them till now

Kukutente23:
Where were the marketers getting fuel for the past 3 months

By chance if the answer is Dangote, what the price 3months ago and whats the new price .. how is it price slash against when they will be paying less for more

If as a distributor i buy indomie directly from company at 1000 per carton and the company slash the price to 700 .. what am i angry for

deji17:
Even if Farouk is prosecuted, this is how the matter will be decided abi no be Nigeria court? They love looters a lot!👇

Well you might be right and at the same time be wrong. the most important thing is Nigerians have seen the face of a thief ... now we know him

Flangelo12:
I keep reminding everyone, the courts cleared Yakubu of having $9.7 million in cash.

Focus your energy on the issue itself.
If Dangote is concerned about Farouk's administrative action, that's what he should focus on.

No court would jail Farouk for paying fees, even such fees are 1 billion dollars.

You dont have to remind us of anything, in this very Nigeria we have seen one case having different verdict, So using Yakubu case to tell automatically thats how farouk case wil go is not tenable .. i am not naive

Even Dangote added, he is not after Farouk losing his job, buh the authorities should investigate if he can legitly pay that money ...Fine

i dont get why you are taking things overboard .. Farouk stands the benefit of "trial nd investigation" .. so whats the fuss

Flangelo12:
You do know Congress summons are legally binding?

They may ignore him due to his status, but he could be jailed if it comes down to it.

Are you in this country at, Do you know how Nnpc boss carry National assembly play .. which summon is legally

give one example of who was jailed 😀 are you kidding

Kukutente23:
Always learn to read and understand
You cannot force everyone to be a producer. Some of the biggest businesses in the world are marketing business. Amazon, Alli Express, Walmart, Shoprite etc are marketing franchises
Even the Almighty US imports fuel and crude despite having the largest reserves and refining capacity in the world. The idea is to always have a balance.
It is good to have multiple producers but telling marketers to go and become producers if they want to compete is just ignorance

Force ke ! 😀 .. how ?? did dangote stop them from bring in oil vessel into the country

i am just postulating whats logically here, these marketers themselves onces said where ever the product is cheap is where they will buy from .. they even maintained Dangote fuel is expensive

These guyz are matketers for christ sake, meaning they have options to load from source that is cheap .. if Dangote product is cheaper than if they import why not just Buy from Dangote and if later foreign source becomes the cheap one .. switch back to import these things are common sensical

But why are the importers hellbent it must be from foreign source IF there is nothing " Personally" i want to believe these guyz own refinery outside Nigeria .. the allegiance says it All.

US import fuel not to "augment" but becos of grade quality they need for some purpose, and what america import is even crude... dont insult my intelligence

Nigeria has a world class graded crude such we have no reason to import like america .. our crude suit any purpose of refine

You quickly cited America, asides how many oil producing nation are importing fuel .... none

no

Flangelo12:
Mr. Farouk holds a degree in engineering technology from the Southern Illinois University Carbondale, USA, and has attended several executive and management / leadership training programmes globally during his career life of over thirty-five years.

The extensive professional achievements of Mr. Farouk spans through successful career endeavours which started by working as a logic board verification engineer at Apple Computer Inc. (later called Apple Inc.), in Dallas, Texas, and operating at broad managerial and executive leadership positions in the dynamic Oil and Gas Industry as listed below.

- Executive Secretary – Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Authority (PPPRA),
• Executive Director (Commercial) – Petroleum Products Marketing Company (PPMC),
• Managing Director – Petroleum Products Marketing Company (PPMC),
• Special Adviser (Downstream)- GMD-Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC,
• Manager – Crude Oil Export Programming and Nominations, Shipping and Terminals (Crude Oil Marketing Division-NNPC);
• Managing Director – NiDAS Marine Limited,
• Senior Crude Oil Trader – Duke Oil Inc

You think Dangote dont know All these things you posted abi, you think Dangote is not in better to position to weigh Farouk legit attainable income

If a Dangote is telling you a Farouk does not belong to the class that can spend $5m on school you think reminding us he works in Apple is a vindication ... lol how naive

Anyone that can pay $5m for school fee alone should be on forbes

Omoawoke:
Is that how his mates run business ?
That’s underemployment and nothing good about it…
What happened to investing in his logistics, compliance and safety?
But this is Nigeria, lawless country… undercut, underemployment and underpay at the detriment of innocent people’s life and safety.
Well, the people being oppressed will still be same people that will defend him and worship him for his money

uncle go n do 0.5% of what Dangote has done for Nigeria i will personal worship you ..

open company and employ 100 people 1st, please lets hear word jare

Slytiger:
Dangote and Otedola. Do not mess with those two friends.

Otedola must have being Dangote tips as well, because otedola once had issue with Farouk then the Reps almost ambushed otedola if not that he was smart

they wan set trap for Dangote tew, make he come there chambers .. awon ole jati jati

madridguy:
The House of Representatives have summoned both parties and asked them to stop public comments.

They can only advice they have no authority over Dangote or his expression

I dont pray Dangote honor the invite, those rogues almost ambushed Otedola vs farouk then, if not that otedola was smart .. he rubbish the reps n walk out on them ..

thieves will always support thief Ji

Okoroawusa:
Dangote don vex. Anything wey make Dangote vex like make you know say na serious matter

why he no go vex, that man went through hell to setup that Refinery he could invested that money outside the country or build refinery outside buh he took risk nobody wan take

That farouk have being on Dangote Neck since beginning, he gave the 1st attack alleging Dangote fuel is inferior

whats the rationale behind issuing more licenses when you know We now have a Refinery nd dangote just scale up production per day

For Dangote to be talking this much, he cant even leave the job to his PR ... cos he knows only him can face those cabals in the oil sector .. money for money popularity for popularity ..

Salewa97:
The House of Representatives have summoned both parties and asked them to stop public comments.

The matter is already in the court of law, hence the need for both parties to stop making public comments about the issue.

The summary of the issue is that there is a misunderstanding between Dangote and the NMDPRA boss.

Case wey Efcc never accept naa im dey court , where una dey crawl out from sef

lets even assume the matter dey court, naa matter wey dey court house of rep wan sit down resolve
Reps have no constitutional power to shut any individual up or ask anyone not to talk .. ko possible

Those holding Nigeria hostage must go down, thumbs up to Dangote in the struggle

Good news ... fvck National assembly or reps that want to cover up the whole thing

Fvck EFCC .. you want petition go to ICPC nd print a copy if naa tip off yahoo boy collect $200 gift card .. EFcc go arrange armor tank 2am go arrest minors

Kukutente23:
They are called marketers not producers. Only economic ignoramuses will be asking marketers to "diversify" whatever that nonsense means. Basic economics teaches us that marketers are important for a healthy market in terms of distribution and price equilibrium. That they are importing is due to the weak structure of the market and not their own doing
If you thought refining was rocket science, that ignorance is on you. Nigeria once had 4 functional refineries so when did refining become rocket science?
Even Dangote is not asking the marketers to build their own refinery. He wants them to come to him so he can have the final say in the market

Were they born as Marketers, whu xtained them marketers ! ..
Under normal circumstance as Nigeria is a oil producing Nation are we suppose to be oil importing nation ...
Nigeria importing Fuel against owning a Refinery is an absurdity of highest order

No one is asking marketers to leave the oil business, since they are vested in the oil business merge together build a Refinery and give Dangote a run for his money... if the game as change then you must evolve in the business. why are they hellbent it must remain importation at all cost, the price Dangote as given is own is cheaper than what they are chasing outside the country .... but these rogues dont want dangote fuel ... why ?? make it make sense

Didnt these marketers claim it is where ever the price is cheap they will go ... now dangote is cheap they are wailing instead of going to buy from him, make it make sense

They have weaponized poverty in Nigeria,
Farouk is a civil servant.
I dont work for anyone, and i am not looking for a job.

if you dont have anything meaningful to say must you comment ..

Cars that are used to carry kidnapped victim .. do they not have register license

How many tinted cars can Nigeria police less than 300k search in a day .. is that even visible

If BVN and NIN didnt stop kidnappers operation what can tinted permit possibly do

The chibok gurlz kidnapped was it even tinted car they used to carry the gurlz

the recent school gurlz kidnapp and eruku church member was it tinted cars Bandit used to carry them away .. people like you are just very daffttt .

Not in 6 years....I can pay it today, all at once.

Kukutente23:
Thank you Mr Dangote but this will not stop imports
Any clown who is supporting Dangote to kill imports should also use same breath to call for the ban of importation of rice and other grains. Let's go back to when farmers and middlemen were ripping us apart with high cost of foodstuffs

Havent we imported for long enoug, if Dangote is killing importation why are the marketers refusing to diversify into Building there own refinery . . is it an abomination

Dangote can wake up and slash price as he like becos he is a " producer" is product is rules But marketers can do nada because naa another Producer product dem they sell they have no say on price like Dangote

Once upon a time, we thought refinery in Nig. is rocket science But Dangote as paved the way .... why are they still fixated on import

Build your damn refinery if you really wana compete with a Producer

malali:
You assume, i dont have money....Let me tell you God has blessed me. I need nothing from Dangote or Farouk.
5 million dollars is chicken change, to me.
Dangote should fight his battles alone, dont use Nigerians to fight for him.
He just woke up last night to see that Farouk is corrupt ?
Then he turned to Sowore this morning.....LMAO

You think Nigerians are Dumb.

Alol ! now i know you lack comprehension, even if you have money naa for where Faroik n im children dey .. his last born school fee pass your net worth i dont need to even know you .. tell me i am liein now

whether he woke up this after noon to blow whistle it irrelevant .. find something meaningful to say

There is no timing for whistle blowing .. you can blow anytime when ever you lie .. anyone that wants Dangote refinery to crumble will go down .. we Nigerians are behind Dangote

malali:

35 Years of doing business in Nigeria, Dangote just woke up last night to see that Farouk is corrupt ?
When Emefiele was giving him subsidized dollars from CBN,he didnt see Emefiele as corrupt ?

Is it Dangote job to Report or fish out corruption .. please make sense

whether is 50yrs or 100yrs .. So far Dangote did not aid or cover up Corruption he Did nothing wrong

You want to tell me Dangote is doing this for his personal interest, Buh news flash Dangote also capture Nigerians interest .. so We stand solidly with him

I dont care what you get from Farouk thats even if he knows you exist Buh " whistle blowing" as no timing, even personal interest does not undermine whistle blowing so far investigation show its authentic

Bro if you know how Dangote stole Nigeria money with Emefiele work up to EFCC and tender your claims .. stop being ridiculous i have no pity for corrupt public servant .. farouk last born can feed your entire family whats your gain

SmartPolician:
The EFCC doesn't work with hearsay. They need petitions and hard facts so they don't go to court and disgrace themselves.

Good one, So those yahoo boiz they stomp there houses at night was that all petition

Did Efcc not raid Skales the musician house, mistaken him for yahoo boiz .. who petitioned ? does EFCC even know what disgrace is. yahaya bello was at our car park e didnt enter the office that why we no see am arrest 🤣🤣🤣

its very bothersome, some of you just Talk as if Nigeria started 2yrs ago. . . weytin we never see in these damn country
