Well that is the interpretation of ur paymasters who think they manufactured Israel in 1948. That is not the historical fact or truth.

Go back and use ur Google to get the definition of Jews and get back to me let's continue our discussion.

Judolisco:
its not monopoly per say.....there is a law that once we can manufacture and distribute a product sufficiently in Nigeria then all importation of that product must stop.... .we were importing cement before and rebagging, dangote started producing, went to court to stop people from importing, how is that monopoly? he didnt stop people from building their manufacturing plant and competing...

coleon:
This is why I don't value a lot of nonsense that comes out of this forum.A lot of dumb ignorant people masquerade themselves as learned and being informed. Someone just corrected you that Dangote is not running monopoly in any of his business areas yet you are still boastful in your ignorance and telling someone that knows more than you to go and read.
Read what exactly? Do you know the meaning of monopoly at all? Who is your economics teacher if you don't know the difference between monopoly and oligopoly? Most of Dangote businesses that you ignorant people call monopoly are actually oligopoly. He's not the only one in any of his businesses but they are few of them in those businesses like cement, sugar, steel and not oil and gas and it's understandable because of the capital required to float such businesses.

Eniitankorede:
You are the one who should go back to school. Go and learn the meaning of monopoly. The Nupeng wants to compel Dangote staff to join them. Dangote does not stop his staff from joining unions.

jaxxy:
And ur precious online data didn't educate u that Palestinians are not Jews but Arabs right?

I already explained how Muslims and Christians came about in Israel. They all have Jews heritage all of them but not all practice Judaism.

I don't know why u are insinuating comments and perception I didn't make?

Did I ever say jews where predominantly Christians or Muslim? I stated how they might be Muslim or Christians but their heritage is definitely Jewish.

And this is still consistent with the bible.

Peter Obi should stop being Petty! It is very annoying.

nairalanda1:
LOL...monopoly is complete control of the entire supply of goods and services in a market.

Dangote is competiting with imported petrol, and also with five other refineries and then BUA refinery will be on stream in a few years

In cememnt, there is dangote cement, and then there is lafarge, ibeto, mangal, and BUA cement.

If Dangote had a monopoly, all the others will not exist.

Na you wey no know wetin monopoly be...that is why you are asking rhetorical quesitons , because you have been beaten and you know it.

yorosstores:
You probably miss this part.
"In fact, if they truly believe in competition, they could even come together and acquire the Port Harcourt Refinery and see if they can succeed where NNPC could not."

Over the last ~18 years, the government has granted over 57 refinery licences to private investors. How could we accuse Dangote of monopoly when he has taken steps to construct and begin operation. Where are the other licensees, what is stopping them. Dangote?

Eniitankorede:
I think you got things wrong. Dangote has not prevented anyone from setting up a refinery. It is therefore not a monopoly.
He has not also stopped staff from joining unions. All he says is that people should not be compelled to join unions.

psalmsjob:
How can someone's staff be controlled by another person?.... Worker's Unionism itself is exploitative. What is workers right if not the rights given by her employer? If a company is not treating you right resign so as long as your right to resign is not taken away then your right is intact

yemre:
I agree with you where you said DAPPMAN should look into setting up some refinery business of their own. But you see this your stand on Dangote being a capitalist and preventing external influence, I want to believe that you're a stakeholder in the opposition who sees Dangote as a threat!

I will approach this issue from an ordinary Nigerian standpoint as we used to think that all of us want this country to move forward and knowing that one of the major issues we have in this country is fuel. Now a refinery has been able to solve that problem and issues are coming up from external unionism. This doesn't make any sense.

If they have issues, they should call him to a round table for a reasonable negotiation and not try to dictate to him how to run his own personal business.

I would love a situation where DAPPMAN members come together to build a bigger refinery to rival Dangote. He's not the only one given a license to build.

Educationalserv:
Which monopoly 18 companies where granted permit to build refinery
Nupeng and ptd can open their own union based refinery and stop feasting on somebody else hard .

Jokay07:
Let's adopt the same transportation business in our conversation.
I believe that certain government policies must be put in place and enforced in a sector before Certain individuals can claim monopoly. No individual can monopolize a sector or resource without the backing of the government.
Speaking of CHISCO and GUO, was there ever a time that government said all commuters must use or travel with their buses?
Is it proper to say that the owner transportation company like GIG is trying to monopolize the transportation sector just because he added Logistics service and home delivery service to his transportation business?
Secondly, you can't be talking about free entry and exit and still be talking about monopoly.
You see? Your submission lacks proper cordinate, shallow, substandard and not applicable in a real business world.
So, it is either you don't understand what "monopoly" is all about or you don't understand what you posted.
Please I am not here to talk about textbook monopoly as you were taught in school.
Please answer the bolded question

jaxxy:
Did Palestinians tell u they are Jewish? Jewish and they are Palestinians at same time? How? where did they get the name Palestine from? who gave them that strange name?

I know of Jews in judah and Israel I don't know of Jews in Palestine. I don't know of Muslims Jews either unless they converted along the line just like Christian Jews but their history must come from Israel or judah..

Harnny:
Are Jews a tribe or a religion?

nairalanda1:
Dangote is not running any monopoly anywhere...not in cement, not in refineries.

There are other licence holders in the refinery sector that have not started work or refused to start work. Yes, subsidy prevented them, but now subsidy is gone. Instead of attracting funding, dem go play

There are five other refineries working...then BUA refinery is coming up.

Same for cement...there is mangal, bua, ibeto, etc cement.

youngsahito:
Oga, the refinery that Dangote built was not financed by him alone, CBN gabe him dollar discount and NNPC also have their share in it. Unionisim has been in existence for a long period of time and just because the man is capitalist, he will never accept anything unionisim be it NUPENG or others.
The reality now is that our useless govt has failed us leaving us to the mercy of the monopolist Dangote.
Nigerians don't learn just because of free delivery, everybody is singing praises of him.
Why can't he bring down the price of cement after all all the materials are all locally made. I weep for the ignorant Nigerians

challoxxx:
Chief, please advise those major importers to come together and build their own refinery in the country too so they can break his monopoly.

Secondly, must all truckers join only NUPENG? Can’t there be other unions different from NUPENG; that also defend truckers interests?

What role did NUPENG play in these moribund NNPC refineries all these years and they never for one day come out to cry out about what is going on there instead you guys went against selling of the refineries because your greed and corruption.

NUPENG is fighting a selfish battle here; someone is unilaterally changing the oil and gas sector for the better and you all are ganging against him.

Jokay07:
The word concept of "monopoly" in dangote fuel distribution is an overstretched imagination of the cabals in the upstream industry.
It's as good as saying Transport companies like Chisco, GUO or GIG would monopolize transportation business system in Nigeria.
Dangote has money, if NUPENG feels threatened and they truly care for the welfare of Nigeria, let them form a coalition and put their resources together and match Dangote financial power bundle for bundle.

GiftofGod77:
Historically those lands have been owned by Israel and the Palestinians it's just that it has been changed due to one conflict or the other. The Roman empire decimated the Israeli state sir other foreign countries have once or at other times decimated the Israeli state in historical context so the British only tried to create a Homeland for them after the second world war when the Holocaust took place. I'm terms of a it too much what I mean is sir Israel is a state. A sovereign state with a legitimately elected Government and a constitution with a military to defend itself from external aggression.. so what they are doing is just trying to protect themselves from any attack like what we see on October the 7th when the Hamas in a well orchestrated manner launched that stack which killed approximately 1200 Israelis. So definitely the Israeli state will respond to this threat to its existence and to make things worse the Hamas would then hide in it's civilian areas just to whip up sentiments to it's favour...I have never seen this kind of suicidal strategy because those civilians will never come back. So to me it's not about wickedness but about. Responding to the actions of it's immediate neighbours.

Raf4:
Hiding behind your index finger?? You don't need any Google before you tell the history of Jews. We know their ancestors from thousands of years back. We know all their ancient landmark structures that are still existing till today.

Raf4:
Tell us the history of Palestine/Palestinians in the last 100yrs. Tell us the names of their ancestors, the years they lived and the landmark they built in the so called Palestine.

GiftofGod77:
Hahaha well they may seem so, but they were also robbed of their lands and genocide was metes on them mercilessly by Adolf Hitler ND even in historical context. Like I said they are only being overly afraid and trying to protect their state and to me it's a bit too much. They are surrounded by hostile neighbours...

GiftofGod77:
I don't really think so, it's just that they are overly proactive and feel it will be a threat. But I don't think so. They have their own story of suffering too....it's just dear but the fear is unfounded.

Wizardslayer:
UK, Canada and the rest are just trying to be politically correct, bcus it won't happen.

There'll be no Palestinian talk more of state. It's just a mere dream and bluff.

GiftofGod77:
Hmnnn but I thought the Palestinian state matter is just like a political way to settle the conflict? Even if the Palestinians are given a state Israel will still be a strong force to reckon with in the middle East. There should be nothing to fear unless if there are things we don't know....

Botragelad:
Go ahead and cry, you really think Israel is a joke? Wrong. This has been the mindset of almost every Israeli leader, past and future. There will never be a Palestinian state next to Israel, maybe Europe can hand over some land when they’re fully Islamized.

Rewarding Hamas with a state would be national suicide for Israel. Whoever comes after Bibi will keep the same mission: no terrorist state on Israel’s doorstep, ever.
