Not supposed to be a city, rather a rural settler. Since it decided not to have an advanced architecture.

MadPolitician:
Make we leave am for them. They say it is their cultural heritage. That is corrugated iron sheets! I don't know how "corrugated iron sheets" became the cultural symbol of a typical subsaharan African society. I mean, we did not invent that thing, neither do we even have any indigenous company producing that. .

One was giving me an example with Venice the other day; "Its the heritage of our ancestors, bla bla bla.., can't you see the old buildings in Venice? It is the same with ibadan"!!! Abasi mbok! I just don't want to talk. All i know is that at the core of cultural stagnation is a society vigorously waging a relentless jihad against change.

Solidex:
The FG should consolidate this by completely banning importation of petroleum products. This, I think would further ease the pressure on our limited Dollar, and in return strengthen Naira.
Importation of this products and other producible indeginnous commodities should be banned.

OkCornel:
Caveat: until NNPC is consistently supplies Dangote refinery crude oil at a fixed naira price, it’s too early to sell off your dollars.

If NNPC screws up the crude oil supply, Dangote will have no option than to source for forex to import crude oil, and you know what that means for the naira.

Verdict: Wait till the government consistently supplies Dangote refinery crude oil for the next few months.

Donpuffy:
Atleast, the Dangote monopoly will be broken, therefore giving a room for competition and before we know, cement prices will crash!

Eriokanmi:
Monopoly, how? What monopoly is dangote enjoying as cement manufacturer? Rabiu, ibeto,wapco also produce cement. Stallion and Co also bag salt and sugar so, where is the Monopoly you people are talking about? I doubt you people know the meaning.

Dangote has said he enjoyed no benefit from the FG on his refinery, even the lamg he built it on wasn't freely given. He paid 100musd to get it. He's paying back the loan he took from them. There are modular refineries already in operation before his own started and more are still going to be completed soon. Rabiu too is building his own refinery. If you have the money today, you too can apply for a licence to own one.

So, there's nothing like Monopoly in this. Those who once said dangote would lose and his business would crumble cos of the refinery are now envying him. They're now frustrating him. Some even said petrol will stop selling world wide soon and he will close shop back then. How many electric cars do we have in the world today? The best alternative still remains PMS in cost and efficiency. Dangote being a businessman can always produce aviation fuel and diesel and still do away with petrol, if pull comes to shove. You guys shield behave intelligently naw.

Nonybb:
Dangote is evil, avoid him and that racist 🇮🇳Indian called Edwin. I don't even know why he had to employ that guy as the COO despite having so many young Nigerians at his disposal, knowing the fact that Indians hate black people

Nazgul:
So technically what NNPC is saying is that even if dangote refinery start refining fuel, they'll still be importing it. Thus leading to a constant increase in the price.

EmeeNaka:
The local government ruling is important, but is not able to solve the immediate problems facing Nigerians now.
Seyi Makinde is right. This Tinubu government is playing to the gallery and Nigerians can't continue to watch APC destroy their future.
Tinubu's regime is a disaster.

Dear Yorubas, look at who we live with? How long are we going to keep keeping up with these? We need our own nation! Let's do it! Oduduwa nation or Yoruba nation or whatever. We will keep on receding with all these neighbours. We need our own nation, for ourselves, then we can take a detour, rethink, and re-forge our path.

We can't continue with barbarism and mediocrity. We used to be better than what we currently are, and the sky remains the beginning of our potentials. We need ourselves, for ourselves.
