How many of his contemporaries are actively building a USD $15 Billion project, with confirmed work on the ground, and a solid commitment from all stakeholders? If somebody like Innoson was building something of this scale, and didn't get the same level of support, then we can compare and contrast.

Of course, CBN's commitment is a result of lobbying and requests, just like in other part of the world. I don't think the Fed in the US, or Bank of China will just support a random business without lobbying, phone calls, and visits. If his contemporaries don't ask, they won't get, and it's up to them to complain that they are not getting the level of support they need.

CBN has said simply: you bring this type of investment - which obviously needs a ton of forex - and we're here to help. It's a sign to other investors, local and foreign; to Dangote's suppliers in Europe, India, and Asia; to members of the foreign press; to shareholders in Dangote locally and abroad; and especially to naysayers in European and American industrial communities whose business would suffer because of this refinery: this project is not going to fail, and the Government has the facility to support it.

You have a point....


But scratch this part

"European and American industrial communities whose business would suffer because of this refinery"

That is not going to happen

Win win it shall be for both parties

650k barrels is not enough to cause ripples to foreign suppliers in bulk.

if we are talking 5m barrels

then that's a big deal

iamrealdeji:
big thick lie. most women I know are married to good rich men are good women. example is mom and a lot of others I know. oloshos that marry good men will be kicked out so soon. once a how always a hoe. a how van deceive now but there is no way her beast wouldn't be unleashed some day,men ain't stupid

You don't know how life operates

There is time to play and time to QUIT!

If as a man /woman, you don't quit such behaviours as at when due, it might bring problems

That said

life is zig zag, not straight

there are many possibilities to every situation

handie:
Long expected. NEXT!!!....... They'll put all their eggs in one basket and later come to cry about marginalisation.

Why should there be anything like "marginalization" in the first place?

Whoever wins the presidency OWES Nigeria (not those who voted him alone)


But Nigerians and una repugnant mentality

enemyofprogress:
e be like sey she dey hungry you?

nope

not at all

vioment:
You do well chairman. Try harder over there. Nigeria is a dream killer, mediocre praisers, cult infested, evil thought filler, very dirty and combustion fume infested air space. The worst part is that we are not even trying to right our wrongs. The only thing that Nigeria has going for it is music and movies - whereby both of those are being challenged daily; our movies have nice story lines but either the sound, the lightning, the background music, is messing it up; but atleast they try; which is what a collective nigeria is not doing.


We have turned to loud mouths, heavy and minute to minute liars, fake egos, we dress clean in very dirty surroundings, tribalism is rampant, religious sidings are there, etc No respect for nigerians in nigeria. I still believe it can turn around but honestly it is a hopeless get rich quick place. Nigerians don't read books anymore outside of internet post. Get rich quick to oppress is what we prefer.

hmmm

how does this relate to the topic tho

enemyofprogress:
The mother still dey follow her children drag prick at her age mtcheeeeeeeeeew

??

so a woman her age don't deserve some "manhandling" too?

She sure does

Topmaike007:
not tribalism Obj/Atiku really dealt with Ibeto,and such man can never support Atiku,cos as an igbo man I can't even support Atiku.

ibeto did himself

But because our people are sentimental

that is why many of us are still singing that rhetoric

Catastrophe1:
God is our provider down the East, anybody that says our business will not thrive they and their families will never succeed. Iseeeee

what does this have to do with the topic?

Racoon:
While they suppress the investment of great Igbo men like Ibeto Group, Innoson Motors.Paddy paddy government.

who is suppressing who?
una don start again

Ibeto was an importer

tell me which govt will support an importer over someone who was ready to produce locally

Ibeto did not strategize well and got the rug pulled off his feet.

Did he open cement factory and the govt closed it down?

OkaNaUbe:

This is how Obasanjo disadvantaged Ibeto Group but empowered Dangote.

judging by the scale of dangote business
he needs it.
Innoson on the other hand should answer for what went down with GTBank. let the court be the judge.
No sentiments here
Refinery will solve a lot of problems for NIGERIA

senatordave1:
Buhari will get 40% in rivers,delta,imo,akwa ibom,edo.

40% in my state of origin?
baba you are a joker.
If Buhari sees 10% (even witt mass rigging) he should thank God
who wan vote expired product into office

onatisi:
if an opposition candidate can pull such number of people then surely there is cause for the ruling party to be concerned .
definitely , atiku and pdp dont have the financial resources to rent crowds to their rallies like the apc and this show that truly the northern votes will be split ,it wont be a block vote to apc like in 2015

yes indeed.

The coming elections will be very interesting

Mowoe:
I thought Zombies said it was empty? BBQ MAN come and see o!
By the way I heard Buhari has created jobs so much so that 4 million persons applied for graduate trainee jobs with Access/Diamond bank that they had to close the application portal almost immediately it was opened.
Zombies which way.??

I heard about this

what a failed country

let's see how it goes

Debra911:
check my initial comment, I said head differs, Yoruba ppl will say "Ori yato si ori" and Gods grace will always b sufficient for everybody whether u do good/bad, only God knows our heart & d reason y we do d things we do. Its a free world, wat would we now say about the whites who lived hard and still ended well. Head differs brother, I no go say because Mr.A do this mk I join am, its all about choice, 2nd these two stories I gave r real life experience that happened to ppl I know. When they say "all smokers r liable to die young'' doesn't mean an ardent smoker won't b successful in life but remember d side effects of smoking goes a very long way...

I see.....

smoking may not be a very good example tho In this context

but yea

life no be maths

midehi2:
A sincere girl who did runs to survive especially in school with no one to help, her runs without evil deeds, clubbing without juju always come true......the ones destroying homes all in the name of sugar daddy, charm all over their body, causing their human fellow pains all in the name of runs falls in the category of what you just explained up there.....what is happening to them is "karma, I don't pity such peeps.

thars another angle to it.

the ones that went all out.

Juju, wickedness and all....

what they sow, they MUST REAP.

AnI77:
Marriage is never a reward for good behavior. You need to understand that life itself is not fair. It is all about time and chance, and one's ability to effectively utilize both.

You have said it all

Debra911:
Well that's ur theory & u believed it cos you've seen it work out. But on my side Two of my beautiful friends who lived such lifestyles married rich good men,but are barren now(just 4yrs)& thanks to God one of them gave birth last year June,but this baby has bin on oxygen & after an ECG, it was found out that d baby had mycocardiac infarction. But thank God d babe survived it all,it was a narrow escape, but the husband spent hell of money. while d other the other hasn't gotten a child, like I know places she visits without her husband's knowledge just to get d fruit of d womb. The husband s so caring but d mother inlaw s head ache, and as I'm talking to u now, despite how loving the husband was ,he still had the guts to impregnate another lady outside & bring into d house and was telling my friend that he already paid d girl that after one year , d girl would go and d baby become theirs. This arrangement was between d mother inlaw & d husband, my friend has no choice but to deal with it. Now see how complicated the whole thing is. But this my friends husband s so rich and many ppl see her has blessed but never knew wat she's going through. The story goes on&on. I can't convince u on ur already believed fact based on ur experience, this s wat I believe in &It has been working for me, I never lived such life ,I'm a med student and my fiance s so blessed. I wouldn't say my life s so good than my friends,just like u initially said,wisdom s needed but its good u allow ppl see d bitter truth about life, what goes around will surely come round, if not now but later years and after years, the truth will surely stem up. Its a pity good men fall into victim, but who are we to blame, since the guy already promised to love her both in good health & bad, he has to carry his cross and love her to d end, that's d marriage oath. That's my own philosophy of life and I don't regret any of dem

There are so many good girks who got married and are barren too

My aunt married as a virgin decades upon decades ago

And did not have her 1st child until after 12/13 years to my cousin

Was it her fault?

NO


I think you all in Nigeria need to get something straight
life is NOT mathematics with certain answers

There are so many possible results.

One can be a runs girl and get killed

One can live a rough life and it ends well for them

One can live a good life and life shows that person pepper

One can also be good and be blessed beyond measure.



but in naija

It's one dimensional thinking


All good girks will end well (no matter what)

And all "bad" girls will end badly. (regardless)

it is mentality like this that has made so many girlsin nija be disillusioned and discontented because it was drummed in their head that they are ENTITLED to good menjust because they are good

life no be like that o

virgoquin:
see almost everyone up there is justifying the scammers action.

It is David's money he has the right to spend it anyhow he pleases whether on bumbum challenge contest or any other thing

don't mind these jokers

it is how low Nigeria as a society has sunk.

Just like him, certain amounts might mean nothing to me

But the thought that someone made a fool out of me/deceived me is much more painful.

Nobody like to be a MAGA

Rextizz:
Scammers too plenty for this shithole walahi.

yep

too many

the $hithole encourages wealth without work
so what do you expect

theoldpretender:
The only multimillionaire in the betting game are the owners of the betting scams.

Actual players, who I was talking about, never become that wealthy by playing betting.

.

betting was never meant to be a poverty alleviation scheme

But because of the condition of Nigeria And the nature of Nigerians (greed, desperate, etc)

betting has become another thing in Nigeria

at best, it's meant to be for leisure and adrenaline rush that comes with it


But now its a poverty alleviation scheme and a source of income for so so many youths

sweetrace:
So many people have done IVF several times and it failed.

this is also true

spiceadole:
When women get married.. They are happy they have silenced mockers.
When women have children.. They are happy they have silenced mockers..

It's usually all about mockers.

it's how the African woman was programmed to think.

She is a victim of her society and upbringing


;-\

Why give a f**k abt what others have to say

victorian:
After taking series of pics together, Kissee and all with pre wedding shoots join, see how they end up disgracing themeselves .


Smhhhh

You know them?

victorian:
Honestly ehn? No be small thing.
How life changes one to either down below or up there , really baffles me .
May God help us all, amen.

true
but still
you would have inquired more and seen how you could be of help to her her condition must be precarious

fuckingAyaya:
yes go to ngwa in Abia state were they sell fake money you will use real money like 5,000 to buy counterfeit of 10,000 even banks do buy counterfeit from them in millions
Note it's first grade counterfeit you can never detect

what a useless failed state Nigeria is.


And the authorities are not doing anything to curb this menace

AngelicBeing:
Wetin Buhari, Jonathan, Nigeria, Donald Trump, Obasanjo, Abdusalami, Babangida, Ernest shonekan, PDP AND APC do you

.:A

NIGERIA is just getting worse and worse

Atrocities you don't hear of much here...


I read them in my country of origin

Which kinf wahala be this bikonu?

Stealing of pant, yahoo, ritual ) fake money, rampant prostitution, political wahala, boko haram, Fulani herdsmen, lynching folks, wanton suffering, cheating and corruption and the case goes on


What kind of useless country is this one?

lonelydora:
CBN, if you need a witness, i will volunteer myself. I have been a victim of this many times.

They intentionally load the counterfeits into their ATM. I almost sued for one bank (name withheld) for this. I withdrew from their ATM and went inside to pay for some services which required me to show the bank teller used in paying.

Surprisingly, the lady brought out about 5 counterfeit notes from the bundle. I told her i withdrew it from their ATM, she refused to take it. Omo, i raised hell inside the bank and demanded they should provide the video evidence unless I'm heading straight to my lawyers. Na so, the bank manager came out and was begging i should take it easy. He saw how serious i was and knew i was telling the truth. That's what saved my day.

All you that laugh at people like us when we count the money withdrawn from ATM, we know why we do so. No, it's not about being an illiterate, we have seen things

this is unfortunate


This failed $hithole

bukatyne:
There is a rule for every engagement.

If you know what to do in marriage with a willing partner, you will enjoy it whether 'good' or 'bad'

You have spoken well

not all these things some people here are writing

mrsoludomeka:
I dont believe that.all i believe is whether your clubbing or your a church girl as far as there is grace your husband will locate you.

true

chiefqueen:
My own question is... why does it matter if she went to clubs or smoked weed or slept around?

good question

victorian:
That's pure lie and fallacy .

My school mate who was a bad girl ,back then .

Come and see her now! She looks old , worn out , poor , dragging along 4children with an extra one carried at her back . She was the even the one who called my name , I didn't recognise her at first until I look at her face closer . And I was like wow! Bisola! Jeez! How are u doing ? She smiled weak at me and replied fine . I was like mehn I can see you are married . she smiled again and nod yes . I just shook my head and she was like am I married? I smiled and I mumbled yea.

She said u look good . I said thanks. Then I said am rushing off to somewhere, nice seeing u again. She replied same here .
Mehn i was like wow! As she walked on with her kids .

Na wa o. Bisola of those days .

May we not marry the wrong partners in this life , amen!!!

wrong choice of spouse and life conditions is responsible for her predicament
