People like you really need to grow up from your defeatist mentality...

Learn to think in the long term because will not end with Buhari or Tinubu administration.

This has nothing to do with being Igbo or not...It is just basic common sense.

You should ask a question why government projects do not work while the of a certain individual almost always works.

As a Yoruba person stop seeing the Igbos as your enemies even when they are making valid points...

The fact that one of the biggest projects is in the hands of a rabid capitalist should prick your curiosity...

If I were you, my game plan would be thinking of how to ensure that he does not wield unlimited powers in the future: I would be thinking using his laudable achievement as a springboard to build modular refineries in the region...

You guys should raise your game...Elevate your engagement beyond asinine tribal howling and do something thinking..

Does Pandora bastard foolish criminal Peter Obi need to have anything to do with the thread before he can be mentioned or don't we see your tribesmen mention Tinubu Buhari on thread that as nothing to do with them at all times

I will stop seeing Igbo as my enemy once they stop seeing yorubas as enemies.

You don't need to tell me this...I know Dangote used his connections well well...infact I did not believe that his cement factory was real all those years ago, until CNN did a feature on it. I thought it was an elaborate front for importation of more cement.

You should be asking why the other people who got licences for refineries did nothing about it, leaving Dangote as the major refinery in Nigeria. The answer to the question is subsidy....

When you sell fuel below the production and transport cost, and all your government pays is a subsidy that would not adequately cover the loss sustained doing so...that is the reason why we lost 4 refinereis, had a lot of corruption and mismanagement, and also had most people not venturing into refinery business.

By the way, here is the list of the refineries as at 2021: https://www.thecable.ng/full-list-dangote-waltersmith-private-refineries-licensed-by-dpr

And yes, Dangote is probably in cahoots with the governments past and present. But then again that is the game many businessman and women play in Nigeria. But at the end of the day, the reason why he has a monopoly...a perceived one...is because ....so long as subsidy existed..other people (apart from BUA, and 3 others...including a refinery in Edo state) were too scared to take the risk.

Business Administration majoring in accounting

It's called double honors

Like I have Double honors in Computer and Information Science , Dual degree

Many! Dangote has direct access to government money. He dictate national policy.

Did you hear the CBN governor saying they will beg him to sell dollar to Nigerians at affordable price?

Who does that?

People like you are cancerous to the emancipation of this country from economic and political principalities...

Why is Nigeria condemned as a shit hole while a country like US is destined to infinitely remain at the top?

The answer is because of the people and institution.

I don't know how old you are....

Less than 20 years ago, Bill Gates was at the height of his powers as the wealthiest man on the planet.

His signature company Microsoft was ubiquitous. It was spreading everywhere and gradually creating a virtual monopoly.

In a country where humans use their brain to reason both constructively and productively, an Anti-Trust suit was instituted to challenge Bill Gates attempt to emasculate or even eliminate competition...

Of course Bill Gates fought back by assembling some of the smartest lawyers in the land to have his way BUT the judiciary is incorruptible and uncompromising...

At the end of the day, a legislation was passed regulating the business practises of mega corporation to ensure that they do not stifle competition.

Today, Bill Gates is still one of the richest in the world but SMART THINKING and objectivity has helped spawn the likes of George Bezos and Elon Musk who are even wealthier than Gates...

You sow a wind and turn to complain when the whirlwind starts ...

Lifestone:

So what have you said with all this your ranting?
Dangote was born rich, he's smart and grew his businesses, so what's your problem with that. You guys simply hate successful people, yet you pray on daily basis to be successful.
Is it Dangote that says Elephant Cement should not be able to compete, did he asked Northern Cement company not to capitalize and grow to compete, the guy is simply smarter than most of his competitors, only BUA is giving him a good run, incidentally another Hausa man. All we do here in the south is to run our mouth

maestroferddi:
You are advertising your naivety and denseness for all to see in the name of sounding childishly woke...

Google "Antitrust Law " and come back and thank me for spoon-feeding you on critical thinking...

You are carping bull because you probably have no practical experience in running or managing a business...

Christistruth03:
Oba Sikiru Adetona of Ijebu already revealed in his book that he Confronted Obasanjo that he was reliably informed that Dangote was fronting Dangote Cement (formerly Obajana Cement) for Obasanjo and Babangida

Oba Adetona also revealed that Atiku as Vice president sold Nigeria's most profitable FG businesses to himself at 5% of their real value and even paid for the 5% value with looted Government funds

Wow!
Very interesting to see how this topic was switched to Igbo bashing!
Igbos have been dealt with by Dangote and his Fulani supporters a long time ago, and they have moved on. This Malta issue is clearly between a criminally minded president, his blind tribal supporters, and Dangote who's not going to loose his refinery to OANDO without a fight.
We will sit back, sip wine and watch the fight.

kanupapilo:

Fight that has zero benefit to the average Nigeria between two state capture monopolists. The Lagos template has been implemented at federal level and Dangote is seeing Shege.

Dangote always benefited from waivers, discount foreign exchange from CBN through Emefiele and import rights from past military and civilian governments. He underestimated the greed of the Lagos landlord that wants to own everything.
