How is Dangote going to be a monopoly?

The man also spoke about Dangote cement being a monopoly. Is this man so daft? What about Lafarge, BUA, and etc? Are they also owned by Dangote?

So na the man wey dey head NLC be this? It’s obvious he dosen’t even understand what he is saying.

Normal northphobia propaganda. Oya u guys claim to be business men, enter the essential commodities market and compete na. You want to bring down the ones dt decided to do something.

This IMO state guy is just being partisan. Everyone knows BUA will also finish his refinery next year.

What are the other options this country has? Government can’t run any business. All their refineries keep swallowing money & is useless.

Subsidy is a pit that also swallows money wt no benefit for expansion. Subsidy is gone. The goal is increasing states revenue generation and providing a living minimum wage.

Who get that update of Tayo and yharmolee?

Go and read alhajibearded smallie on twitter.

Fake news that has been exposed on twitter is what a nairaland mod is taking to front page

Gidado that died 3yrs ago?

Who is Gidado?

Una want rule us with propaganda?

How can you just copy an unverified news on twitter and push it to the front page

Show us the video of the press conference

The op copied everything AriseTV said in the video and on their ThisDay newspaper. The whole write up is from ThisDay website - check the link.

That means AriseTV and ThisDay must be propagators of fake news. Noted.

Lagos had a free trade zone in 1999?

So, Marina, Ikoyi and Victoria Island were empty in 1999

Tinubu developed the lekki free trade zone. And yes, businesses in marina, Ikoyi and VI were all local companies with few expatriates present in Lagos, except in oil and gas companies. Lagos became open for business after 1999, with a massive inflow of investors, foreign money and expatriates into Lagos. Fact. All the tech companies in Lagos have obtained almost half a billion dollars of investments alone. Let’s not even talk about industry, finance and development capital.

Kukutenla:
Lagos was ever closed?

Yes. In 1999, after abacha, there were very few foreign companies in Lagos. Only oil companies tbh.

Lagos did burst open after 1999. FDIs, franchises, international capital inflow. This was due to Lagos state governments readiness for business in creating a free trade zone accompanied by the FGs openness to the international community as well.

slam7000:
What’s wrong with the video. I support Obi but the Tinubu that I saw in that video was well relaxed and confident. I didn’t see any awkwardness, the type we all witnessed during his campaigns.

He walked up to his seat gracefully, enquired about the right protocol and told them that he preferred handshakes then went ahead to offer his hand for handshakes.

I pray he succeeds.

Nothing is wrong with the video. I think the op just found it amusing the way he shook them even though they wanted to sit. It is quite funny.

forerunner022:
Bro look at the pictures closely, you will discover the picture is the same. What they just did is damage control because of the criticism from Nigerians. The objects on the first picture are the same in the second one, the same position. Even the Posture of BAT and Shettima are the same. I have done a forensic analysis of the pictures.

Dt means the Remi picture is photoshopped. Cos the pictures in the real photo are from the video. You can see the ‘viable tv’ icon on the original photos.

flokii:
Yoruba should be the official language in Nigeria.. too appealing and sweet to the ears.

I'm Yoruba, but please stop. You guys are making me sick now.

Pipefitter:
It's not a bad thing to devalue but why lying over it?

To avoid panic. Everyone knows it has been devalued since Monday, exactly what tinubu promised to do.

Now if only the media will have sense.

Bobloco:
I knew that they will come out with this propaganda

We are waiting for Niger, Togo, Chad and Cameroon

All to justify this thoughtless decision by Tinubu

Instead of fixing refineries, blocking leakages, having an effective and efficient border patrol to arrest and prosecute these smugglers

That twitter handle Actualities229 is a popular Benin republic handle that posts political news. It's not a blogger nor a random handle dt started yesterday, Mr obidient.

Spicycat:
Which one is deputy chief of staff?

Fire on jagban May your reign bring prosperity to all those who wish for it, i now hand over the mic to nairaland wailers

Deputy chief of staff is chief of staff to the VP.

Another FAKE NEWS!

This is US gas price as at today: $1.102/ltr

So, all this analysis on a picture of 3 people.

Can you prove dt nnpc and cbn heads are in dt room? If they sue you people to court na it will turn to hashtag freeazubuike.

proeast:
Continue trying to be smart by half. Food is grown more in the North but is fuel gotten from the SW? So why using such ridiculous comparison?

If fuel should be cheapest anywhere in Nigeria using your analogy, it should be in the SS!

Just know that Nigerians are no fools and we won't accept such crass tribalism in government.

Oh please stop wt the wailing. All our petroleum is imported. Crude is not petrol. NONE of our refineries are refining anything!

All petroleum imports enter through Lagos. All the tank farms dt store them direct from the ships are in Apapa. Tankers go from there to the rest of the country. Many of the pipelines dt are built to reduce transport costs are usually damaged by we Nigerians, dts why it goes by road.
By the time the refinery starts working prices will fall and when BUA refinery also starts in Akwa Ibom, dt axis will be much cheaper.

Let’s focus on what’s important. The main thing we should be asking from this government is Power, now that fuel is not affordable for businesses. Whatever savings must be directed to electricity in order to drive down business cost.

Marwa should be moved to efcc

No. We currently have a drug epidemic.

By Ignatius Igwe
Updated May 30, 2023

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) says it has busted a drug market reputed to be the largest in West Africa, after months of undercover monitoring.

NDLEA spokesman, Femi Babafemi, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday, saying the agency was able to mobilise necessary assets to trace the illicitly manufactured drug to the Ogbogwu market, Onitsha Head Bridge in Anambra State.
He also said two members of a syndicate were involved in the illicit importation and trafficking of the lethal synthetic opioid, Fentanyl.

Identifying two members of the syndicate as Odoh Collins Oguejiofor and Oliver Chigozie Uzoma, the NDLEA spokesman said the arrest followed “credible intelligence and synergy with local and international partners.”
Fentanyl is 100 times stronger than Tramadol and capable of causing mass casualty among the youth population being targeted by the cartels.

“The arrest is coming on the heels of an alert issued by the anti-narcotics Agency on Tuesday 22nd November 2022 that some criminal elements were plotting to flood the Nigerian market with the drug, which is currently responsible for over 70% of overdose deaths as well as a major contributor to fatal and non-fatal overdoses in the United States”.
“Following credible intelligence and synergy with local and international partners, the NDLEA was able to mobilize necessary assets to trace the illicitly manufactured drug to the Ogbogwu market, Onitsha Head Bridge, reputed to be the largest drug market in West Africa, after months of undercover monitoring.”

Influencers influencing.

You just know when influencers have been paid for marketing on twitter. All of them will be saying the same thing (ecspecially something random) so dt it turns to discussion and trend.

Not worth it. Each increase will cause panic buying and scarcity and uncertainty in the market.

Best to yank it off and spend money on areas where people are bleeding as a result of the removal.
Fuel tank is 500 per ltr in Togo. All our fuel dt marketers take to dt country will stay here. If we hang on, costs will reduce when it’s no longer imported and it’s being sold by the refineries.

By next year BUA refinery will also be distributing products from dt axis and reduce transportation costs.

If electricity is stable or Business people are able to provide solar alternatives into the market, these would reduce demand for fuel. Less demand always causes market price to fall. We must sort out electricity to make the economy more productive.

Aonkuuse:
Everyone is claiming to be happy

Should he be sad for leaving office?

The ex-Governor Kaduna posted this on his twitter page:

PEACE OF MIND AT LAST: Today is my first day since leaving office of Governor of Kaduna State.

It has been the easiest day I can recall in nearly ten years - no wake up calls or knocks on my bedroom door, no packed schedules from Adejoh Momoh, no running up and down to meet timelines, and no early security reports to read and issue directives!!

So, for many like me, life is much easier as objective bystanders - but for our younger generation, know that you don’t have the luxury of being excluded from politics and public service.

Please be willing to sacrifice your time and resources to help President Asiwaju and all your state governors to succeed whenever called upon.

To the older generation with experience, contentment and integrity, be available in small numbers as well to serve.

Be prepared to add your knowledge, wisdom and judgment to mobilize the energy, innovation and courage of the youth to address the challenges our nation faces.

Together, we will the be able to achieve the Nigerian ideal that President Tinubu outlined yesterday in first inaugural speech. -

We’ll he’s itsekiri. They are half bini, half Yoruba. He’s our cousin and only hyping his ancestry. Hyping one’s self is allowed once in a while.

Tinubu didn’t even say this. Neither did his spokesman. Lol!

This is one of those media centers in Lagos from campaign. They better keep quiet, they have no authority now and can’t be speaking for the president.

Bobloco:
Do we have a working refinery today

They were wrong. GEJ was right.

You don’t need refinery’s to work to remove subsidy. Togo has no refinery, no crude and sells at 500per ltr just on imports. The refinery will reduce the costs to be less than our neighbors though.

OVB123:
I was told that it is 500naira in Ibadan today?

Different parts have different prices I guess. My friend bought it at dt price. People are still getting it 195 in Abuja o.

Yourprick:
So Buhari no day live for mansion

Hope u know he has an Abuja home too. That’s the mansion his children live in. They don’t go to the village.

300 in Lagos island, 600 in mowe, 220 in Ibadan. It’s all over the map.

So they should be there forever?

We blacks are our problem. Why the ridiculous headline mocking him? His time is done so he should exit stage left. Tinubu and his team will also do and go.
