The 2nd shock I got were from my bankers who told me point blank that *since Alhaji is planning to go into petroleum refinery, we can't give you financial support because competing with Alhaji is like standing in front of a moving train*
That ended my ambition in that business. I counted my losses and moved on. And the Banks gave examples of people who stood in front of Alhaji's moving train and what happened to them. BUA came out recently to share his own side of the story

7 *However, the OIL BUSINESS belongs to 220 million Nigerians: It is not just a BIG GOAT but it is Nigeria's ONLY GOAT*

8 NNPC probably has realized the full implications and that's why they refused to pay up their counterpart funding to acquire 20% equity as earlier agreed.

9 What should Alhaji do in this circumstance that will be win-win?
Alhaji should come out publicly and sell at least 49.5% equity to Nigerians in a transparent manner. Only him can't swallow Nigeria's only goat, it will CHOKE him The goat is already hanging in the middle of his throat: It is not going down to his stomach and it is not possible to formit it.

10 Even in Saudi Arabia, ARAMCO was sold to the whole world and Saudi government became better, thereafter.

It is not a question of selling small shares like Alhaji did with cement, he has to turn over the company -to be co-owned by Nigerians, who are the real owners of all the wealth in the first instance.
Bill Gates owns bearly 5% of Microsoft. He faced the same problem Alhaji is facing today years back because for Microsoft to stand so many IT companies collapsed. Gates faced dozens of Antitrust court cases in America and Europe. But when he did the needful, peace came to him

If Alhaji shares the wealth (49.5%) with the real owners of the wealth - Nigerians, that refinery will work because by then, it will become *OUR REFINERY It is impossible for "our refinery" to fail but highly likely for Alhaji's refinery to face unending, insurmountable challenges*

The journey still far

The only mistake Dangote made was situating that refinery in Nigeria. He would have opted for Niger and transit to Nigeria via pipeline.

It was a bad move that other investors need to learn from.

There are so many beautiful, transparent and viable countries you can explore in Africa. Always let Nigeria be your last option if you thinking Africa. It’s for your own health, sanity and longevity.
