ajailer:


Thanks for stating the obvious. The first few comments on this thread got me thinking maybe they are ppl paid to sing Dangote’s praise but then for fear of being labeled “enemy of progress” or they don’t want to be seen as being envious for having a contrary view, they then prefer to keep their true opinion to themselves.

Dangote = unhealthy monopoly.

Na only him and some selected few govt. dey give waiver for everything. What about forex, same thing. The refinery is coming up soon sha and I hope his company is able to match the hype around it so that we can have a little reprieve from this fuel subsidy issue but seriously, if the market is made plain open to everyone naija hustling spirit go don elevate plenty budding entrepreneurs.

Aufbauh:
Dangote is doing well.
In fact Dangote's operation will be the closet hope for Nigerians and Nigeria to get out of this shady quagmire of oil subsidy.

Guyman02:
It's very easy to become the richest man in Nigeria if you have the kind of access that Dangote have to CBN FOREX.
Imagine collecting $10m dollars at 390 this morning and selling same at Black Market to importers at N560.
Sanusi Lamido exposed this scheme and they pulled him down as Emir of Kano

Nyne:



Are you guys still blind. Must everything be owned by an aboki ?

Make dem quick divide the country into parts. So he will just be an outsider that will have to pay taxes into the new country’s pocket.

toujurs:
Audio richest man in africa, . He can't explain challenges doing business or untapped business opportunities in nigeria, because he had none as federal government first son . All they do is kill small businesses to maintain their status. Almost all businesses he started and had to compete with other businesses folded up. Starting from his noodles, table water, tomato paste. He now had to rely on cement with zero competition.

deenee:
..

Nobody is stopping you from investing.

There are people both local and foreign that are investing and reaping the benefits.

The opportunities are there for all to see from manufacturing to agric,banking IT, tech services even religious activities.

Hate won't get you any where

GeneralDae:

Some of you just write things without verification. Dangote has complained about challenges with doing business in Nigeria several times if you listened to his interviews. Infact these challenges are the reasons he had to spend almost double the price of the initial estimates for the refinery. He had to build his own deep port to import certain equipments and of course they then had to construct several roads with a reduction in their taxes.
As for his previous businesses folding up, that is part of the game, you fail in some businesses and learn from your experiences.
As for cement, you are wrong to say there is no competition. There is Lafrage, BUA, Ibeto, etc. If you decide not to buy Dangote cement today, you have several options.

toujurs:
please browse about erisco tomato paste, its an indigenous company, with zero support from any fucking Nigerian govt zero support from B.o.i, Dangote doesn't know shit about doing business in nigeria. He isn't that technically inclined. We need to be honest with our selves. Lets stop promoting nonsense in nigeria. We also have tasty tom, gino these other companies has dollars to spend. Most Nigerian business men sourced loan from international banks, because Nigerian banks won't give them loan, you won't blame the banks though, because most businesses hardly survives.

Ibeto cement was shut down by obasanjo, lafarge came late, Bua is still owned by dangote family friend. Leave this talk jare. Most small businesses are killed by big businesses. At some point during obasanjo tenure it was only dangote cement nigeria had.

uptimum123:
Nice one from the Dangote groups. Nigeria is bound for greater heights.

Buhari has layed the foundation for a prosperous Nigeria while Tinubu will take us to the promise land.

With Tinubu, Nigeria shall soon become one of the most powerful Nation in the world.

Tinubu is our choice for President

michlins:
Please he should go heavily into steel. Any serious country that wants to develop needs a functional steel industry and not depend on importation as it is currently is.

This man has more vision than all Nigeria president put together

LordKushmann:

You're not worried that this perpetuated access to capital and resources are shifting squarely into solo hands? Given the already jingoistically jaundiced disposition the Nation is set at at the moment?

Benitoh:
He monopolize everything...

He enjoys all the privileges..

Why won't he be richer

GeneralDae:

Then why can't other businessmen invest in steel? So should we leave the steel sector moribund because you are scared of it going into solo hands?

Benitoh:
He monopolize everything...

He enjoys all the privileges..

Why won't he be richer

franchasofficia:
When you visit Nairaland and check comments on threads like this, you will then discover that most members and commentors on this forum are unemployed, underemployed, and lower class citizens with poor sense of entrepreneurship, business and national economic growth.




Majority here are hungry praise singers of the few elites that kept their life below average that it is today, what a sorry situation for majority of Nigerian youths

Whizkay:
Give me access to forex from CBN for the next 2 years and see if I won’t be the richest man in my state.

nairamaniac:


Better know this now.

The all ex presidents and most top politicians are ruining the country and enriching Dangote's businesses.

You know why?

They all have investments and shares in his companies thru proxies.

michlins:
do you have any proof or is it just beer parlor rumour

nairamaniac:


Can you prove every conversations you have witnessed??

post=112781278:
You drill for oil, you export oil, you don’t refine it. That way you are just killing employment.
Our focus is two things.
One, we make sure we look at things that can be produced locally, we create employment that way and we create value that way”.

Anything to move our darling nation forward is all we want @

ceejayluv:
this argument has been over flogged.
In the Auto industry, production plants are called auto assembly plants. You can say that The vehicles were not designed here but surely as long as they were assembled here, it's manufacturing to boot.

kinglee007:


Oga please kindly define the term "MANUFACTURE" & "ASSEMBLY" (in relation to Vehicles).
Just enlighten us please.

Elmojiid:
Every government since 1999 just Dey enrich him through monopoly

ArewaNorth:


Monopoly?
Govt all over the world would love to work with people like Dangote who create wealth and prosperity. Dangote is into cement manufacturing and there are currently more than 9 cement manufacturing companies in Nigeria with one of them (BUA) second richest man in Nigeria, Dangote is into Sugar, rice and noodles and the same second richest man and many other Nigerians are into the same commodity, Dangote is building refinery and the same second richest man and some few other tycoons are building refineries (including modular refineries), so how can u call this a monopoly?
Dangote family have been richest family in Nigeria for the past 80yrs.
Stop trading and venture into manufacturing and see if all incoming Govts won't work with u. Dangote is a blessing to Nigeria, stop this jealously!

Elmojiid:
no kill me as u kill Deborah oo...arewanorth

We Were Preyed On Amidst #EndSARS Protests – Northerners
Northerners living and doing different businesses in the southern states, particularly those in Abia, Imo, Rivers, who were trapped in the aftermath of the popular #EndSARS protests, recall their gruesome experiences during and after the #EndSARS protests.
