You present foolish options and tell us to chose wisely?

God Bless You Sir

The mod that moved this rubbish to the front page deserves to be slapped

jumper524:
A lot of us can't see that our country has been projected never to succeed.

Firstly, countries are trying hard to improve their OPEC quota but then the situation with Nigeria is different.
In 2014 we were effortlessly exporting the 2.5 million barrel daily.
There was massive recruitment into the special force in order to combat militancy, there was better negotiation with militants heads and Niger delta stake holders in order to improve the situation since 2015 but then we're loosing extra 1million barrel per day.
Some would say the FG is responsible but then every logical step has been taken by the FG..
The FG needs those extra 1million being lost daily so they can steal, settle some debt and individuals but then we're loosing these stuffs...
The real question to ask is unknown sef.
How do we survive the onslaught.
Who's sabotaging us.
A refinery that was suppose to be our economic solution is into play but then our exchange rate was bleeped beyound measure to make it happen.
In 2014 we had almost zero rice produce, zero refinery, zero active rail way, zero car manufacturing company yet our exchange rate was 180..
Today we've improved on these stuffs yet the economy continue to decline.
What's happening I ask again?

If anyone explained Nigeria to you and you understand, then that means he/she didn't explained it truthfully

wonlasewonimi:
Reno is confused now.

Confusion go blast im left blockos

UltraSolid:
Atiku and fake opposition politics he could not play against his own Kinsman Buhari, who set Nigeria backwards 50 years, calling Asiwaju a bigot. Perhaps Atiku does not understand the meaning of "bigot".

Yes, the same buhari that was your lord and savior some months back

And one keeps wondering why your people are called two faced

chidiokay:
Known monopolist by beer parlour talks, why not show evidences of how dangote is a monopolist.

For decades Nigeria had no refinery, he decided to build one and sudden they tell us he is a monopolist
why did any of you not build a refinery b4 dangote thought of it.

How is Dangote fighting competition, if i want to buy elephant or larfarge cement will something bad happen to me or will i get arrested
Dangote ×3 cement is the best cement in Nigeria, most demanded by builders how is that dangote fault thats what some people twist into monopoly, i see other cement but i alway insist on dangote cement how is that Monopoly.

show us moves from Dangote that depict true Monopoly

Nigeria doesn't have a refinery?

So how come there are refiner's association?

Maybe you were not born in the obj era, i don't have time schooling ignorance

Dangote sued other indigenous investors and got away with it.

People are parking their car's

People can't build houses again

People find it hard to eat even one meal a day

People are now trekking because they can't afford transportation

asala1:
FG gave out licenses to many companies to build refineries. Only Dangote built one. Countries babysits individual that build industries in the country and that’s what they should do. Giving favorable forex to companies that are building manufacturing capacity is what Nigeria should do and that’s not even enough. Tax breaks and more incentives needs to come into play. For example, Canada is giving upto $13 billion to Volkswagen to build a plant in the country. This is how you create good jobs, not importing what you can produce.

And it will shock you that Volkswagen car's will become cheaper over there

Your Dangote is selling petrol even above the price of imported one's

Does it make sense?

Bullet01:
Of course they won't sell cheaper even if they buy cheaper from abroad. So none of them is fighting for the masses. They are all interested in taking advantage of us.

Gbam

asala1:
Nobody is stoping anyone from building a refinery in Nigeria and compete. It’s utterly mor.onic and makes no sense to say that people should be allowed to import to compete. That’s not competition, that’s destroying your manufacturing base.

Building a refinery like the government monopolistic babysitting bastards won't fight against them, when he sees competitions?

You think other indigenous investors would've been granted scarce forex like dangote was granted? Or don't you know the kind of system been ran in this country?

elbangeez:
God bless you, people dont know that most of these oil marketers have fleet of shipping vessels for importing refined products, tank farms for storing their products which sometimes leased to government for some huge amount, . With dangote refinery coming onboard, their vessels, tank farms, depots will all be shut down which automatically leads them to bankrupcy. Their only lifeline in this game is importation and they will fight it with their last blood. Any Nigerian who doesnt support dangote to eradicate these leeching cabals is an enemy of this great Nation.

Anybody supporting a known monopolist that always fight competitions just to have his way in this dying economy is the real worst enemy of this nation

ceejayluv:
The FG is supposed to have issued an executive order by now protecting our local refining industry. If it were in India, such order would have been issued long ago.

Yes and the local refiner's won't be greedy and monopolistic and forming unions just to inflict hardship on the masses like your local refiner's (Dangote actually) are hoping to do

LandMann:
You work in the cement sector but it doesn't mean you understand history, economics and public policy at all. That is why you're supporting this move by Dangote.

Dangote cement started as a monopoly, thanks to frivolous and corrupt court judgement and politicians. A market where 3 producers are colluding and control 99% of the market is a monopoly (oligopoly if you want to sound politically correct but stupid). This is why in Nigeria cement was N2000 in 2015 but in 2024 cement is over N12000, over 500% increase meanwhile in India cement was 224 rupees in 2015 and around 400 rupees in 2024, less than 100% increase.

What is the cause of 500% price increase in Nigeria vs less than 100% price increase in India over a 9 years period? Monopoly, colluding, corruption?

It's because of the monopoly and favourable treatment Dangote is always getting from corrupt Nigerian government and politicians that people with serious money don't want to establish their own companies to compete with Dangote. If you know what monopolist do to destroy competition, you will hide your head in shame for supporting Dangote.

Nigeria has abundance of materials used to produce cement yet Dangote will wake up and unilaterally hike price 100%, 200%, 300% and there's nothing you can do because the rest mushroom producers will do same cos they're in the same WhatsApp group and foolish citizens will come online to support Dangote.

Meanwhile when their landlord increase house rent they start crying.

Now Dangote is repeating same dirty tactics for pms and you're here supporting him.

But when you start queuing to buy fuel for 2500-5000; when price of foodstuffs tripple and when evey other thing becomes more expensive you start looking for who to blame not knowing yourself is to blame for supporting and stupidly rationalising monopoly.

God Bless You Sir 🤗❤️

teepain:
You understand the game. It beats my imagination why some folks do not understand the game that Dangote is playing. For me, Dangote's antecedents in other industries are the very reasons that Nigerians should ever allow him to monopolize an industry or enjoy any unfair trade practices.

What do you expect when the foolish one's are the majority? Over here you can see them making excuses for a well known seasoned, professional, notorious monopolist that has proven to be greedy and evil over and over again in every sector he ventures into.

LandMann:
According to Dietrich Bonhoeffer you're a stupid person. If I was you I'd go read about Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theory of stupidity and examine your life choices against the theory.

Only stupidity will drive you to support monopoly and skyrocketing prices in a country were income and purchasing power is extremely low

You don't have any single sense in your head, sorry.

Please Sir

Do not be sorry to call a spade what it actually is.

Anybody supporting Monopoly in an economy that even life support is failing at this critical time is a born idiot.

heysquare:
There are other small modular refineries that even started operating before Dangote. See, we are the architect of our suffering in this country. We like promoting foreign products and we will still be blaming govt for lack of job and winding down of companies. How would Companies survive when we believed in foreign products than local one? Importers knew the truths while they don't want to patronised Local refineries because they make triple profit if not double. They make Super profit because they buy substandard products. Those cartel in that oil industry will not want home made to grow because it's going to dearly bring their wealth in to comatose.

Oga rest

The day we stopped importation of foreign rice and started buying locally produced rice, how did it go?

What makes you think same won't happen on petrol when the devil himself (Dangote) a notorious monopolist is spearheading the the fight for it?

Moreover the same so called "substandard fuel identifiers" were once happy, silent and contented user's of the same substandard fuel. Open your Eyes.

Eleph:
Senseless statement!

Senseless comment

onuman:
It started when Sani Yerima, the then governor of Zamfara state returned to Nigeria and introduced unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal justice system in his state. The political and religious leaders in the other 11 far north states quickly adopted sharia crimimal justice system to the consternation of rest of Nigeria and the Obasanjo led government. Obasanjo dismissed it as political sharia.
Sharia criminal laws include stoning blasphemous persons to death, stoning women to death for adultery, cutting out the hands of thieves.
A BBC female reporter asked Yerima if he didn't understand that his sharia criminal justice system in a multi religious society like Nigeria, can lead to break up of Nigeria.
Shortly after, Boko Haram emerged and says that it's fighting for a Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal laws. Bandits emerged from Boko Haram. Secessionist groups in the south emerged.
Nigeria, its unity, economy and security, have plummeted to an all time low since then.

What reply did the dumb aboki gave the BBC reporter?

Mandate1:
and who is giving the marketers forex? Me?

That one even know im left from him right?

Them go drink garri full belle, then come nairaland come spit rubbish

They make big money from smuggling but sells PMS at a cheaper rate. Dangote that bought in naira, no shipping fee, no import duty, loading fee etc still sells at higher amount? Who then is racking all their resources? We Nigerians hate truth! How can Dangote PMS produced in Nigeria be higher than the one produced in Europe and shipped to Nigeria?

You see, this is one of the major reason why I don't like trying to debate them here.

Even as glaring as this fact is, that guy will still reply you to argue your facts when he wakes up in the morning

Coldspice:
Dangote Cement produced in Obajana is cheaper in Kano state than Kogi where it is produced.

That issue made Yahaya Bello shut down the factory some years ago.

Don't mind those idiots

yommen:
Some of you just type without thinking. You built a factory of $20B. You started producing. You have your money to make because you need to make your $20B back alongside profits and payments of salary. You now come and say you won't sell to a particular group of people because.... when they are actually ready to pay you your money? See, many of you on nairaland with only emotions but no logic.

On the other hand, the man Dangote cannot be trusted. Is his refinery able to produce for about those 8,9,10 countries he mentioned? Me I personally don't think so. I think it's a trick. Mind you, he wants to stop importers from importing so that he would have successfully monopolized the sector too. Is he being realistic?

This is the best comment I've read on this thread


Dangote is definitely a deadly con Man

Nahunger:
They even think China will support them, Iaugh in Swahili, even Saudi Arabia is avoiding the plagues 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Na Amala mentality sha de worry them

ObiPandora:
Foolish lunatic too many for NL.

Iran is not planing yo assassinate Nethayahu that as killed about 3 Iranian top general with over 40,000 humans Iran support it is Trump that under his first 4 years they never had a single issue with is who they want to assassinate.

If foolishness do not kill you two I wonder what will.

I guess you were the one who ordered the 2020 attack on qasem suleimani.

So you forgot how Iran vowed to bring Trump down in anyway

Nahunger:


Captain don abandon Boat 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Iran go dey panic now
CoronaViruspro 🤡🤡🤡

How market 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That one is just fulishly deceiving himself, to think that Russia with a large population of Jews and Orthodox Christians would aid those primitive mullah uncircumcised bigots to nuke a Jewish state.

I never believe stupidity could be this supreme whenever I see that guys post

Chinjo2:
But we have the richest men on Africa as well as the richest pastors in Africa.

GDP per capital is a boost for the citizens, what does the richest individual has to offer?

I believe this your post is sarcasmic, but this is the reality mindset of the average citizen of this sh!thole

And you keep wondering why the cesspit never improve

tommy589:

Delta and Bayelsa,are they not oil producing states providing oil revenue that sustains the country.
If those two states becomes independent nations ,though corruption may bite bigger chunk of their earnings, they won't go bowl in hand begging other federating units for money

So therefore

The op list is rubbish

Period

Ebeano49:
Here's the big picture: [/b]Many refineries in Europe are about to go out of business because of Dangote. These refineries are willing to undercut Dangote on price even if it means selling at a loss for a few years. They will then revert to high prices when Dangote has been frustrated out of refining.

That's exactly what Ethiopian Air planned to do to Nigerian airlines.

Let's not celebrate or castigate Dangote yet

Omo if this refinery was owned by Tinubu or anyone else we wouldn't castigate

But not this Dangote that has over decades been [b]NOTORIOUS for Monopoly

ntyce:
You're a dunce, a big one...

How did Dangote start his Rice, Wheat, sugar, Pasta and cement businesses?
He was a major importer of these items before going into their production.

Not just big, a gigantic one

Balistic4:
Awesome! Then let's handover Nigeria to him. We owe him everything we are today. Had Dangote not emerged, Nigeria would have finished. Without Dangote cement, cement would be sold for 100k per bag. With Dangote refinery, fuel will be sold for #100 per liter. Jobs are overflowing everywhere.

Also mind you, Nigeria had nothing before Dangote came aboard. Even the refinery, dangote got the funding from his pocket, Nigeria never played a role in it

Those idiots must still be kid's leaving under their parents roof eating and enjoying "papa thank you" one of the reasons they make ridiculously stupid comments in the name of sounding intelligent.

WorkTheTalk:
Don’t be silly. INNOSON and Co can't meet the car demons in Nigeria. There hundreds of car brands in Nigeria, INNOSON can't forced everyone to buy and drive INNOSON

The day Dangote will start making car's, he will definitely force compel the government to ban importation of foreign Brand's.

Rest

yarimo:
Solve nigeria problem and DANGOTE start from #990 per liter? You must be a kid with free bonus data to post rubbish online

This time, I stand with you

nesphil:
Talking trash as always.

Nigerians couldn't buy Dangote cement, so they won't be able to buy his refined petroleum products either.

So why is INNOSON and other local automobile manufacturers don't go to court to sue importers of foreign automobiles into the country.

If imported refined petroleum products are now cheaper than the ones that Dangote produces locally, then importers should go ahead and import.

This exploitations for financial gains must stop.

God bless you for replying that Mofo

I don't know how some people in the name of politically correct starts to write foolish things

Someone wants to obviously do what he has been notoriously known for, but this time on petrol for the vast profit it will bring and he doesn't care if Nigerians drain their blood's to get it, and one idiot educated illiterate is making excuses for him.
