Wainey:
Sorry to burst your bubble, Dangote does not have any company that mines limestone

Wainey:
the materials for making those cements are imported, abi u think there is a quarry in Nigeria that supplies Dangote the materials?

David Umahi, minister of works, says he will dialogue with cement manufacturers over reducing the prices of their products.

He spoke on Thursday while featuring on Sunrise Daily, a Channels Television programme.

The minister said contractors have complained over the high cost of cement in the country and made claims that importing the product would be cheaper.

“I’m going to be running figures with them (cement manufacturers) to check the cost of cement if we import it and the cost they are giving us here,” he said.

“A lot of contractors have complained that it is cheaper to import, but we are not allowed to import cement because we have to help the cement industries, but they also have to be reasonable with us if we are going to be patronising them.

“There is a need to use concrete technology. It’s going to make our roads last for a minimum of 50 years.”

Umahi also said the administration of President Bola Tinubu is ready to provide funds for the construction of quality roads in the country.

“We are looking at all these things. How do we cut down costs? Because the primary issue is also the cost of construction,” the minister said.

“We are looking at the figures but it looks like a lot of contractors are not willing, but I will make them to make the change – we are all engineers.

“I am telling them your profit, I will protect whatever thing you want to make but, let’s help Nigeria, let’s build a road that will last and the funny thing is that the government – the president will give out the money.”

2 days ago, it was the day set for the 1 round we were supposed to make love, she just said, something is on her face. I wish I can describe it. I was like, why Is it that anytime its when we want to make out is when you must have en excuse, she just shouted at me, that I should go that i dont care. I was like, this was the same person who was jumping and telling me she wants to fix a nose ring. Very healthy and bouncing all over the place, but when it comes to my usual 1 round on the old timetable. She would look for an excuse. Her mother shouted at me that if I want to divorce her, I should go ahead that she's tired of settling our differences.

What does the petitioner expect Tinubu to do? Dangote is bigger than government of Nigeria via the grip of Fulani leadership and oil resources of Nigeria; due to Igbo versus Yoruba rivalry in Nigeria. Western education and culture took their toll on the two groups.

Wodu89:
And Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.


Dangote had long been dangerously and ferociously cannibalizing the country. A few elites have been longing for it's end.


From severe monopolistic advantages to unhinged access to subsidized forex rates and all sorts, the country was bending it's back backwards for this individual. It's hi time Dangote left Nigerian economy alone.


I had longed complained about Dangote and CBN regarding this :


On a continued basis over the years and contrary to the approvals, Emefiele’s CBN continued illegally supplying money from Nigeria’s treasury at cheaper rates to Dangote Group



This is the height of it :



To further highlight the brazenness of these actions, it recently came to light that the suspended CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, had borrowed USD 1 billion from Afrexim Bank in the second quarter of 2023, USD 750 million of which was illegally funneled to Dangote at a concessionary rate. These funds were subsequently transferred to Dangote’s account abroad just as previously done in the past





We borrowed $1 Billion at let's say 600 Naira per dollar, then had it stolen and gifted to Dangote at 200 Naira per dollar in the name of industrialization of the country.



Stop voting people whom the northern canal draws close to. Much of these kinds of truths would not surface when you continue doing so. This is what Chief Adebanjo had been crying over for years.


Many youths are wasting away and are mere dead beings in walking human shells. Stop the thnic and religious biases and support individuals that have a strong desire to change the narrative


Dangote is a crook


If CBN is investigated.iger the past 8-12 years, we will realize that the country has long been sold to Dangote

Waec now no get value. If it was in the 90s during our time, if you get A's, u really earn it. Not now that special center full everywhere.

Did you notice that "Our President" recognized her greatness by shaking her with two hands?

Even Tinubu has more sense than you.

DrTee1:
A lot of Nigerians would be saddened by this.

Many years ago, I personally went to the Federal Character Commission to try to get a job into the Federal Civil Service.

Nothing came out of it.

It is sad to know that I wasn't considered at all because of this kind of racketeering. I came from abroad to apply that year. I even had a letter from my Senator at the time and had audience with the Federal Commissioner representing my State.

Kalashnikov49:
You watch too much films. .and that is why people use Propaganda to hoodwink you into supporting Nonsense.

Where will they get fuel from?

Where will they get drones from? Even if they buy, who are the mercenaries that will operate them?

The Jets and helicopters you operate are obsolete and that is why they breakdown and are easily smashed by insurgents.

If it's ground battle, they will kill your troops mercilessly, because it's their terrain.

So before you talk just try and think...spits

Dbegining:



Mr.

This same trusted hands is the nonsense Buhari use to plunge this nation into stagnancy for 8 good years and two recessions.


He is to appoint the most competent hand using the part of the Constitution that provides for federal character. Not trusted hands or loyal people. What is he afraid of, that his minister will plot a cou'p?

southsouthking:
Agbadorians were expecting list of Technocrat, not knowing that amoda ministerial list is an appreciation list, and they're expecting Nigeria to be great.

I'm not a tribal bigot, Amobode name should have been on that list if this man was serious.

Umahi should resign from the Senate and face his ministerial job, or better still tell the APC Nigeria president to give someone else who he deem fit his ministerial slot.

Imagine Metawalle and Oyetola a minister?
Who curse Nigeria self?

Triangles1:
Only one person from Kwara, as they always denied to be Yoruba that's good for them.

Ebonyi get luck under Tinubu.

About 4 to 5 state in from the red mud arena what a miracle.

CodeTemplar:
that's about 7k per 100Litre and better than nothing. Should the difference increase further, neighbouring nations will turn to smugglers to get from Nigeria and refiners will react accordingly by closing the gap or eliminating it all together because their foreign buyers now get it chea locally and smuggle it out.

where fuel be 700?

Akaegwu:
I disagree with you. I was born in 1980. @5 I was in primary school in 1985. My younger brother joined @4 in 1986. This was what my older siblings told me. It was before Nigerian civil war. After that war, such measures was banished. I finished secondary school @17, while my younger brother @16.

Akaegwu:
He may be right. I started at 5
