Airborne dieses that is why we don't live long in major city. I use to shake my head whenever I go out in Lagos. Everywhere is filled with carbon.
Take a picture of the atmosphere in Lagos and same on new york you'll notice a clear difference.
Poverty wants is to settle for poison

I guess you were a teenager when Dangote used this same ploy to launch his 3X cement. Go and ask your elders at home if I'm lying. They will educate you better.

First, he said they didn't sell him crude.
Then, he accused them of owning the refinery in Malta.
Now, he's saying the fuel they sell is bad.

He can cry himself to death but he won't be the sole supplier of Nigeria's petrol.

Petrol is a security product and we can't keep it in the hands of one man.

Lifestone:
And you conveniently left out how your importations killed Dunlop and Michelin.

You are comparing Dangote Refinery to Dunlop and Michelin.

First of, there are substitutes to products of both companies. Dangote wants to be the only one. Now, if he's the only one, he can raise prices at his whim and caprice a and nothing anyone can do about it.

Petrol is a security product and Dangote can't be the sole provider.

If you give Dangote monopoly of oil production, he can change the government. All he needs to do is to raise fuel prices 2 weeks to the Presidential election, blame the increase on the increased cost of doing business and the government is in soup.

Thirdly, a single bomb thrown in that refinery can destroy Nigeria's petroleum supply for at least a month. That's the security angle you haven't considered.

Next time, you look at other factors instead of taking a narrow stance on the subject.

tete7000:
Diesel was being sold for N1200, at a time, it was N1440, it is something I buy everyday so I am sure of its pricing. Kerosene was sold for around the same price. These two should show you that all along pms ought to cost around the same price if not for the subsidy on it. What makes the price goes up is removal of subsidy and not Dangote. Yes, it can be argued that it is necessary that the pms market is deregulated if the local refining is to be encouraged. This has always being a known fact but Tinubu and his cronies beguiled you gullible Nigerians into rejecting that fact during Jonathan era when it could have been less painful because they wanted power at all cost not minding how it would hurt Nigerians. Now the same demons have ascended power and came back with the truth about subsidy punching it down the throats of those who once hailed them for deceiving them, everyone is crying.
You guys should praise and not demonise Dangite for having courage to open refinery, he has done something which it the long run will work to the advantage of all. You should rather demonise Tinubu and apc who oppress you but pretend to be your friend. They are the real enemies you have, not Dangote. Let the regulatory agents do what is right and stop corruption.

You talk too much.

How much was petrol before Dangote refinery?
How much is it now?

Give me numbers. Not talk.

tete7000:
Instead of you to clamour for proper regulation, you are calling for the death of a company employing thousands. Those others importing, why can't they set up their own refineries and create competition plus employment.l? If Dangote refinery dies and importation continues, the price will still go up and people without jobs will end up dying the postpon3d death. I guess it is you that needs proper education and not me. Stop using emotion, but logic to argue.

When we were importing fuel, how much was it?
How much is it now?

nony43:
Order him to sign his arms in to the armorer.

Na so.
Others put their rifles at the back, he put his in front. Corked. You are asking him to sign it in.

Be like you no value your life bro.

Lifestone:
The imported PMS is of lowest quality allowed. I hope we know what we are doing as a country. This is how we killed the tyre industry in Nigeria that lead to the closures and exit of Michelin and Dunlop factories leading to losses of hundreds of thousands of jobs. How do we import what we can produce locally.

The imported fuel is what Dangote used to build his business empire. That's what powered all his trucks and machines.

It is foolishness to come and say the fuel is this and that. That's the nonsense they were using to market his 3X cement some years ago. No one is buying that rubbish now.

Newton1045:
Dangote should crash his money to 600, and see everybody rush to him, even neighbouring countries

Thank you.
He can't crash price.
He can't tell us how much his fuel costs.

He's just crying like a stranded bushbaby.

tete7000:
So to you it is better to import and kill a local industry that employs thousands of Nigeria?

So, to you it is better to kill millions of Nigerians because one company?

Mind you, it is a company, not an industry. Just as we have the refiners, we also have the drillers and others. Many companies make up the industry. Get properly educated.

Ojuntana:
That's all you care about
In one of your sober moments read and try to understand what he's saying
Not everything should be reduced to political bantering
You should have the capacity for reasoning once in a while even if it's with another moniker

Ask that failure how he has managed Edo State's resources in the past 8 years.
Ask him now much me met as IGR and how much it is now.
How many unpaid pensioners did he meet upon assumption of office and how many they are today.
Are you aware that pensioners protested under this fellow as Governor?

If with this your reasoning, you are the fastest spermatozoa of whoever produced you, I wonder how the others are.

AntiChristian:

Good quality fuel vs poor substandard imported fuel!

There won't be any monopoly! Many other refineries are coming up for example the BUA refinery of 200,000bpd! Too many people are just jealous of Dangote!

Dangote was using imported fuel for his thousands of trucks, there was no problem then.

Now that he has a refinery, the fuel is now bad. It's his cement playbook again no one is falling for it.

Fuel will keep being imported and nothing he can do about it. If he can't sell at a competitive price, that's his headache.

Dangote should stop crying like a beech. He should man up and face the competition.

This was how he was calling other cements inferior when he launched his 3X cement. Eventually, it was a all a ruse to wipe out competitors.

He wants Mobil, Total other International oil companies to be subservient to him. The nonsense he did to Lafarge, let him try it with those ones and he will see the results.

Nigeria gave Dangote unlimited FX lower than market rates to build that refinery. It is better that the refinery packs up instead of Nigerians to suffer from his unlimited greed.

If he's not careful, those ones will undercut him so bad that he will sell his refinery to those iron condemn boys.

ivandragon:
Most of Bat's appointees behave like rabid dogs.

Unreasonable, lack commonsense, thuggish and uncouth, lack empathy, morally and financially corrupt, clueless about basic administrative principles and arrongant in thier stup1d1ty, but very cunning.

I hate to agree with you but you are on point.

Brotherman has seen Saturday's results.

Bluffly:
Not buy suprise in this kind of situation. He was suppose to drop his riffle on the ground

You're funny.
You think they didn't know that he will behave like a lunatic?

Ojiofor:
Those who are trying to disarm him by force did they follow due process?

What is the due process in disarming someone?

That only due process is surprise. That is it.

Demented twins.

Apcshyte:
In a sane country ,it is the govt that provides sanitation .Nigeria is indeed not sane

Yes na. It is even the govt that will clean your bum. No wonder you throw refuse on the road in your region. Funny clowns.

Justiceleague1:
Please this is enough,for God's sake!!!
Aren't you too old enough to move along and do something with your life?!! Must you do this till you die?!

Wasn't the cubana chief priest club sealed the other day,did anyone raise this stupid issue you are saying now?
For years you have been like this on here with your okoyibo etc handles.
So irritating.

I don't recall mentioning your surname in my post. If you feel attacked, I am not responsible for your generational inferiority complex.

Once again, if Ladipo was locked, what would those people say?

Now, get lost.

No cries of victimization, nothing.

Now, imagine Ladipo or Tradefair market is sealed.

Beremx:
is that the reason you created this thread to tribalize the movie industry? Make una dey get sense

Show us the movies shot in Orlu where you come from

Otti goes to jail

LexngtonSteele:
Make una leave Baba Balabalu 🙌 🙏

Baba no even understand again. Economy dey make am dizzy.

LexngtonSteele:

Don't talk about Tinubu ooo. Baba Bulaba na from Guinea

Jubril of Sudan
Bola of Guinea

Kobojunkie:
What company manufactured the pages abeg?

They must have replaced the batteries of the pagers.

If you see the dilapidated state of Ambrose Alli's house in Ekpoma, you won't know he has a son who can endorse anyone.

LexngtonSteele:
Sad that folks like you and I are losing hope in the guy.

" Buhari is far better than this disaster " is the general sentiment in the North ooo.

I know he's very intelligent and I just hope there's a joker up his sleeve but I know this is unlikely.

Don't just understand him again. How many millions will die or starve before he provides succour if he does have ?

Pate has no wahala. He will get a higher international position. But Tinubu's cabinet is really lacklustre. Even the interior minister is unnecessarily hyped. He pays well for PR jobs.

Buhari's incompetence made passports come in 3 months. Ojo managed to return it to 48 - 72 hrs. I got the GEJ ones in 24hrs. So how's that progress?

Look at how Tinubu handled the August 1st protests and look how Tinubu handled fuel scarcity. Can you see the difference?

A Policeman was telling me last Thursday that he hadn't been paid for last month. I heard reports that soldiers are being owed also.

The rating of the government is at an all-time low, yet you're owing salaries of law enforcement and the military. Meanwhile, you are splurgung on yourself and your political office holders.

Tinubu is pouring petrol on his administration and those around him are cheering him on because of what they will eat.

LexngtonSteele:
Eku role bros.

What do you think about Tinubu's performance.

I'm a patriot, supporter of Nigeria. Supported APC till I saw Buhari was incompetent. Support Tinubu but not sure Baba can deliver.

Obviously he's a political genius but not sure he's not a dunce as per economy.

What do you think ?

Baba mi, I still thought about this today.
I never believed that a day will come when I will see Buhari as being better than Tinubu.

Tinubu's problem is not only the economy, he has managed to assemble the most incompetent and indisciplined team in the history of governance of this country.

Tinubu lacks empathy. Some of the policies he's implementing, there are no buffers. Any sensible person would have made provisions. Say what you will, Buhari rejected some policies that would have made life worse for Nigerians. For Tinubu, he doesn't care. Look at the nonsense happening between the NNPC and Dangote.

I feel for for the professionals like Prof. Ali Pate who left promising careers to join this circus of idiots.

LexngtonSteele:
Hahaha. Iyen is slightly better if its F-F.

Been banned for a while. Looked for your moniker.

Want to ask you a political question bros. ....

My brother, those mods won't keep chasing me, I too won't stop escaping from them.

I'll quote you on a dead thread.

LexngtonSteele:


I always laugh when people accept friends even siblings to be friends with their wives.

Can NEVER accept any kind of familiarity.

The only kind of relationship I would permit is same-sex.

Otherwise... No, No, No

If you know what even happens among these ladies. The only difference is that a lady can't impregnate another lady.

civilserva:
You have more rights to what?
Do you have a plot of land in Lagos?
Have you been ever be recognized by real Lagos indigenous people?
I have properties in Lagos and enjoy good relationship with real indigenous people of Lagos not online miscreants.
One of the real Lagos indigenous people called me to buy another property to enable him raise enough cash for oversea studies although I declined. They can never call miscreants who have nothing to offer but have full right in "Our Lagos".

You think having land in Lagos means anything?
Just look at this one.

You are a very funny boy. When you go home for December, ask your elders about Oso Abiola.
Then, engage your empty head to think about why your Ohaneze warned you not to protest in Lagos last time.

Snowx:
Okay..you guys should continue with your hate on ndi Igbo..e go clear for una eyes

Locking down a contravening establishment is now hate?

No wonder Ekpa locks your mothers indoors. Una no get sense.

verdad00:
Poverty is really disturbing you .. All you fools do is attack igbo businessman. Money na water , you know igbos are richer than you beggars.

Very very soon , we will take over Lagos and is happening

Monkey

Look at this one. Igbos are richer than who?
Of the 3 major ethnic groups, you are the poorest. 6 richest Nigerians, no Igbo.

You want to take over Lagos but your Eze Ndigbo is tied down in jail like a mad dog. Have you forgotten Kanu was first arrested in Lagos?
We will keep selling land to you in Lagos and we will keep demolishing. You are national mugus and we must chop you.
