Omotaday:
Is this not madness?

You wanted to leave WHO, UN and close USAID, in addition to starting trade fights with your closest neighbours because they are taking advantage of your money yet you are are sending 1B to Israel to fund a senseless war against defenceless people.

It is a matter of interest. Each Nation has its own interest to protect and they decide on that. If they feel selling trillions of dollars weapons is of more strategic interest to them than what other people think, there is nothing one can do.

Again, the defenceless people you mentioned have sworn to annihilate Israel. The defenceless people launched October 7th attack that killed 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped more than 250 people, thereby starting a devastating war. Can you say such people are really defenceless? Looking at those events, you may begin to understand the need for the 1,000 pound bombs

Wickedfacts:
Let Dangote cut down his price and throw them out of business.
This one no be cement and sugar.

Let the FUNCTIONING government refineries and the Malta importers cut down their prices to 200NGN and throw Dangote out of the market. If Dangote cuts his price, we will all accuse him of monopoly. By the way, I don't think Dangote is lacking market for his PMS

Ojiofor:
Once the Sharia panel is granted next is southwest muslims will demand as their right they want to be gorverned by sharia law and with that comes hisba police that will enforce islamic laws and start destroying ogogoro in Yoruba land.

And also cutting the hands of the thieving owomida almajiris under the bridges

koladata:
you have no idea what goes on behind close door of these large corporations, do you know Microsoft own one of the largest shares in apple?. Its still Monopoly with less than 500 companies in the business. BUA , Larfage and Dangote, who else?. Do you even know if he owns those three companies? Until we have over 500 cement companies in Nigeria then we can enjoy a free market, but who will give them the license, who will give them the rocks. ?

we all know the owners of BUA and Larfarge. Now, there are market leaders in almost all consumer goods. Do you know that, Dangote once had and operated a nodules Factory? Do you also know that, that same factory was acquired by Indomie as Dangote could not survive in the segment of the market? Why don't we shout monopoly on indomie in the nodules market as they are head and shoulders above all? That someone is leading in a particular market doesn't mean we should unfairly accuse them of monopoly. How many licenses were granted to people to build refineries before Dangote and who among them built it? Is it Dangote that said the 3 refineries that owned by the government shouldn't work? To the best of my knowledge, people are free to apply for licences to invest in any segment of the economy and they will be granted. Dangote endured to build his refinery to finish and all of a sudden, we are shouting monopoly. Does he stop any other person from building theirs? Even now, they say BUA is building his. They even say the government refineries are working now. The market is also a free one where importation too is not banned, people are free to buy fuel anywhere. So where is the monopoly by Dangote?

skywalker240:
You have already concluded and programmed it in your heart that it doesn't make sense, that itself has already beat the source of the question itself

I won't say anything more than this, Who has ears and he who has eyes......

Please if you do not have answers, kindly let someone who does answer me. You are assuming what does not exist. That is not how debates are done. Everyone has a position on a topic and it takes conversations to change another's position or perspective on issues. That is how conversations or discussions are intelligently done on topics in public discuss

skywalker240:
Nobody will explain anything to you, if you already think it's senseless

Nigerians and short memories SMH

You can explain it to make sense to somebody. That is the whole essence of explanation. I asked pertinent questions and if you can only provide answers, perhaps it can make sense.

koladata:
The price slash is not for us, it is part of his monopoly game. This is one best thing this man knows how to do, that's how we have no major cement competitor today and then he keeps tuning the price up like radio frequency

Once he runs all the marketers out of business, he starts play chess game with the price... we are in for a long ride

Take cement for example, what is stopping a company like BUA or Larfage to sell a bag of cement at 5,000 when Dangote is selling at 10,000? Do you mean Dangote is the one telling them not to reduce their price so that he will continue his so called monopoly? Or do you mean if they reduce their price, people will not still buy their products but continue with Dangote? Pardon my many questions as i just want to understand this Dangote monopoly always brandished around because it does not make sense to me

GeneralDae:
The warri refinery produces only diesel and kerosene for now but would start producing petrol before April. The old PH refinery produces petrol of not more than 2 million litres per day which is not up to 5% of Nigeria’s demand.

Hmm

Where are the two functioning NNPC refineries? I hear nothing about them now. At least Dangote is talking and we are hearing

Aonkuuse:
If Nigerian army personnel mistakenly go on Bikini now, nah sack straight...... But it's alright, make this war no enter the phase it is going shall if not their beautiful bodies will return to dust..... Anybody thinking USA will enter this war fully when Middle east decide to team up against Israel is living in denial..... USA will service your Ego into executing their plans, then stand aside and watch you burn.

Middle East is not designed to team up against Israel anytime soon, that is if you understand the politics of the region. UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and now Syria are no friends of the Iranian regime. At best they are very happy with how Israel has curtailed the tentacles of Iran. Hamas is no friend of Egypt either. So there is nothing like team up very soon

When will the Yoruba vs Ibo tribal war end? One cannot read any news in peace again on nairaland. At least let there be a cease fire for once

Hmm, one of the richest country on earth, but wallowing in poverty

She had a boyfriend, really

At least one man is standing among many cowards and sycophants

RemoveKebab:
pilots are more valuable than planes.
It doesn't matter the firepower of the tool what matters is who is using it.
Israel and Ukraine has proven that a modern war.

Exactly

WriterNig:
🇷🇺 Russian jets are more rugged and can operate in very harsh weather conditions.

👍🏻 Like for Russia Su-35, share for USA F-35

One of the reasons why Israeli IDF is so much respected. They are using this same US made aircrafts in endless conflicts and have not lost a single of them either in enemy fire or accident while using them to inflict maximum damage to Iran, hezbollah, hamas, houthis and syria.

NoIgboSoundTueh:
Isreal Reputations have been deal a big blow since Oct 7th we would see how it will respond in coming days

In the end, the Arabs and especially the Iranians lost so much in this needless war looking at where Hezbollah, Hamas, Syria and Iran themselves ended up. They are far more damaged than Israel and as a matter of fact, Israel has increased her superiority over them higher than as of when there was no all out war

TooMuchStuff:
Imagine 50 Headslammingg terrorists to ratio 1 Jewess

So one single lady in Israel is equal to 50 hefty Palestinians men?
This is incredible

The thing tire person. The Israeli lives are so valuable and that of the Palestines worth far less. Hmmmm

Good initiative if they will not soon turn to Owomida bandits

Good, it has already taken our military too long to do this. Even killing Turji now will look like a failure but never late than never

helinues:
Revenge

Before your students can think/plan of attacking you, you are probably not a good person

Modified: Before some people will start attacking my comments senselessly, think about it . Before your students can plan of attacking you, you must have also be a bad person. If your students can beat you to a coma, then it must be revenge

If you had being a teacher before, close to a teacher, then you can understand

There is little to defend about your comment no matter how it is modified. What such students consider as bad is discipline and the insistence for them to do the right thing eg submit assignment on time, don't come late to school, do not disturb the class, maintain the dress code etc. Once a teacher insists on these, he becomes a wicked person and tagged as bad. Ask yourself, why is the report mentioning the students are cultists? Of course as cultists, they won't be serious in any of the things above

adecz:
With Kyari in charge & taking orders from
Tinubu, nothing will change..

Ehn, so let people leave Dangote alone. At least, we have 2 functional government refineries, let's channel our demand for price reduction to government instead of people hating on Dangote

9jawazobia:
But they sold the crude to you Naira now.. we need to cut the monopoly of this dollar on everything we have locally

please understand this naira for crude arrangement once and for all as it is simple. It means if one dollar is 1,600 naira, and a barrel of oil is sold at 1 dollar at international market, Dangote is paying NNPC 1,600 naira which is equivalent to a dollar. So in terms of costing, nothing really change for Dangote

Moroccoguy:
Which Israeli are you talking about, with all the bombing they couldn't free any of the hostage until the agreement reached on Thursday mind you those Hamas still has about 93 Israelites hostage.

So, does the heavy Palestinians casualty and wide destruction worth all this hostages ish? I don't just see any sense in all of this

adecz:
Last, Dangote is only after his profits and
of no use to Nigerians, just as I talk am before..

👉 When Dangote enter sugar business, sugar
became unaffordable
👉 He enter cement, local cement come cost
pass imported one
👉 He is now into petroleum and his petrol ⛽️
IS now costlier than the imported one which
had shipping 🚢 cost added


Na our head & pockets ( assisted by govts) him
take become richest Blackman.

Thank goodness, the PH and Warri refineries are working with kaduna to join soon according to APC and their supporters. Let them consider the masses . Dangote is a business man that has invested his money for business and not charity. Let's leave him alone

badoh:
So why are people attacking Afe Babalola for getting Dele Farotimi Arrested for defamation without evidence. I realise most Nigerians are full of hypocrisy and only support who they like and go against who they don't like. Why are they in support of Reno's arrest warrant and against Farotimi's arrest?

It is not everyone that is against Afe babalola, neither is everyone supporting the warant to arrest Reno, e.g you. No matter what the action is, some will be against and some will be for. As much as people have freedom of speech, others too have the freedom to seek clarification when they feel defamed. Unfortunately, it is not any body's right to decide if people should sue for defamation or not. It is another exclusive right of such affected people to sue. The courts are there to look at the case and decide approximately. For me, regardless of who is involved, once sued, go and clear it with the courts, simple.

The world has billions of people in it anyway

The MURIC man is coming for the person that is saying this in a short while

With the killings this bandits and terrorists are killing themselves, they are still able to attack and inflict heavy losses on our armed forces anytime they take a break from their busy schedules fighting themselves. This is worrisome

They don copy from state governments Too bad

mysticwarrior:
It's not disrespectful you are only feeling ashamed that you failed to do what you were supposed to do when you had all the means at your disposal to do it. Just look at the way he is making excuses for his failure.

It is quite worrisome how many of you are conveniently ignoring some content in this report by the punch. They have gone to the refinery and are reporting non activities after the last old stock was loaded at the refinery. According to this report, no loading is ongoing in the refineries now. So how are they working? In as much as we want the refineries to work, NNPCL should be more open on their status. What they are doing is more of propaganda than what we want

What a disjointed write up
