PoliticsRe: Dangote Lowers Petrol Loading Cost To ₦‎815/Litre by sayittome(m): 10:03am On Mar 14, 2025
Honestly i dont know. I am really advocating that border should be open for alot of items cos inflation is too high. our local players are killing us

AerialMapper:
So why did we close the borders and not allow cheaper rice in?
PoliticsRe: Dangote Lowers Petrol Loading Cost To ₦‎815/Litre by sayittome(m): 10:02am On Mar 14, 2025
it may come down. However, we shouldnt undermine the effort of this govt as we can clearly see that prices are coming down cos of importation. So our prayers should be that govt should continue to allow for importation of petrol and go futher by allowing importation of agric commodities, cement, etc. inflation is too much

i agrree with you. For the cement, govt should open the border so importers can compete with dangote

CursedOsuPigs:
But Dangote is also a callous capitalist. Once he eliminates those importers, Nigeria would be I trouble. Same scenario is playing out on cement.

I just love the competition but the government should grant more licences for modular refineries like that of Abia and ensure that the Port Harcourt a d Warri Refineries keep working so as to ensure Dangote does not have the monopolistic upper hand
BusinessDangote: A Businessman, Not A Saviour by sayittome(op): 9:52am On Mar 14, 2025
I've noticed a growing trend on Nairaland where many people are suddenly praising Dangote because of his recent petrol price reductions. While it’s understandable that Nigerians welcome any relief from high fuel costs, I think we need to take a step back and analyze the full picture before placing him on a pedestal.

First, why is there such a sharp contrast in how people perceive Dangote versus petrol importers? While some see importers as unpatriotic, Dangote is now being celebrated as a hero. But isn’t he ultimately playing the same business game—maximizing profit while controlling market share?

Now, let’s talk about cement prices. Have you asked yourself why, despite the recent drop in the exchange rate, the price of cement remains high? If Dangote is being praised for lowering petrol prices, shouldn’t we also question why cement remains expensive?

To be fair, Dangote’s fuel price reduction isn’t necessarily an act of generosity. It is a strategic move in response to competition from fuel importers. Lowering prices helps him gain market dominance, and if he succeeds in pushing competitors out, what stops him from increasing prices later? This isn’t a conspiracy—it’s just how big business works.

At the end of the day, Dangote is a businessman, not a savior. He will always act in the best interest of his empire.

True talk my brother. I go vote Tinubu again for just this alone. My prayer is that he doesnt stop importation otherwise this local refinery people will sabotage the economy like our farmers are doing

Best thing president Tinubu have done since his inauguration is petrol subsidy removal.
Now we got it right.
God bless Nigeria

AerialMapper:
I'm beginning to change my stance with this Dangote price war. It might just be his aim to lower prices, force out the competition, own the market and then recoup all losses by jacking up prices.

Did you really think Dangote was reducing price of fuel because he loves u and because he cares about Nigerians? Wake up brother.
Did you wonder why he hasnt reduced the price of cement.

The truth is that the petrol importers are competing with dangote, hence the price reduction.

You need to understand that there is nothing wrong with importation. In truly deregulated free market, every player is welcome to participate. Govt only needs to regulate. Importation is another mechanism to reduce to force/down price which govt needs to initiate when our local players like Dangote, farmers, manufactures, producers etc become very greedy and sabotage the economy.


However, I do not support importation as a way to compete against a locally manufactured product. FIX THE REFINERIES, LICENSE MORE LOCAL REFINERIES AND LET THE CONSUMERS ENJOY HAVING A CHOICE

lionshare:
Let the competition continue—Dangote should eliminate all these importers by dropping the price to N650. That way, the importers will have no choice but to buy from him until it becomes cheaper to import. smiley
HMM. And what do you think will happen to the price of fuel when there are no more exporters

Dear Friend

Pls accept my sincere sympathy over your situation. Dealing with a cheating ex and having to loose access to yor kids is no easy struggle. No man should have to go through this.

Unlike many people here, i must say I see ur struggles and I HEAR U

good

I understand how painful it is to be treated as a secondary decision maker, instead of being a principal/major decision maker in the well-being of your kids. This hurts and should not have been. Pls know that your wife is wrong and so is anyone who indulges her.

Please know that you’re a great dad, and your love for your kids shines no matter what people say. For it is only a great dad that fights they way you do over those kids. Pls keep fighting, cos you kids need you as much as they need their mom. Your kids need you to provide emotional support, role modelling, discipline and structure, diverse perspectives in life and to help them build healthy relationships. No woman should have to deprive her kids of their dad. it is wrong on many levels. . So i see that you fight out of love and concern for them.

I also know that you miss your kids. For a girl's first love is her dad; and dads are so uniquely attached to their girls. Many men realise a sense of purpose, fulfilment, legacy, joy and laughter, etc from their kids. So It is terribly mean to deprive a man of that, especially after cheating on him.


I know you had to stop paying for their welfare and i understand why. I dont know what to say for it seem that your major concern is to determine their paternity if you havent done so. You also need to have a discussion with the lady and her family around your intention to be involved in the kids life. for it is only then that you can have a conversation with your in-laws regarding paying the requested money ( of course, you can negotiate if you have to pay).

I dont advise you to take ur ex back as she has proven unconcerned. Pls dont. Be very thoughtful here. Dont solve a problem with another problem.

Go for counselling if you can. I imagine that you are going through a lot as any good father should.

On a parting note: It’s okay to feel everything you’re feeling. Just remember, this moment doesn’t define the future. Your love for them is powerful, and that connection will never break.

When did a house become a liability?

RapistOnBail:

I would rather stay in a rented apartment and amass billions and then build a retirement home so I could relax when I’m old.

Op,

Sell that house. You no come this life to come relax. I know you are still young. You can start up that business and grow it.

Naturally, your instinct go tell you when you need to relax and let the younger generation run your business.

Use your head!

The people advising you against selling off that liability called house never hold enough money for hand when them Dey young and active.

Your buz.
finishmatter:
Let's face it: Relationship is purely and solely transactional! Nothing more nothing less.

The saying: "Money for hand, back for ground" captures this reality. And this is true not just for a prostitute but for your wife and girlfriend.

She feels no emotion nor empathy for you. She is in the relationship mainly and solely for the cash and security a man provides.
She will neither contribute financially not encourage you to make money. She meets her end of the bargain of managing the home while you provide the finance to run the home. Failure to meet your end of the transaction (union) will incur her insubordination

Therefore, men are not expected to invest any emotional gesture on her. It is not your job!
Don’t be deceived by societal or religious expectation that you should love your wife. Lies. She does not love you.

Love, affection and care should be both ways. Not one-sided.

Do not invest your emotions/affection on your wife.

A woman’s love is conditional. She does not deserve a man’s unconditional love.

P.S: WOMEN are INCAPABLE of Love.
