I hope deliberation ended well and all matters resolved.

Toh

Those people right now, as in dem.

It's not as if they're deliberately what will favour the poor masses.
As you see dem sit-down like people weh there head no correct. na just dem selves and the ways to loot na I'm dey dere mind like dis.

Hope this will end the loggerhead and the media war

I like Dangote strategy. If he does not cry out, the cabal would have still be playing ping pong with everything now.

Tinubu will reign in now and NNPC MD and Farooq won’t be able to outsmart Dangote like they initially planned.

Jagaban used same concept during the last election. Baba voiced out Emilokan against Buhari and the game changed at that moment.

This one na big deal! Dangote dey show say him no dey play with oil matter. Hope say dem go fit find better solutions wey go benefit everybody. Na so we go sabi say we dey move forward!

Toh

Those company that left Nigeria, it was because things that have been favouring them in the past are no longer favouring them now due to the new government policies

Had Dangote being a foreign investor, he would have also moved. We didn't hear peem when it was favouring him

No time for iregbe, those tax evasion would no longer be tolerated

GOOD 👍🏽

Check the list up there,then you as a niger deltan should really be ashamed of yourself

You foolishly allowed yorubas to gaslight you into believing that Igbos are your enemies and are after your oil and land. The minister is just an appointee that can be removed within a blink.

You guys and thinking you are the elder brother for Niger Delta people. Do you mean to say they don't have a brain of their own.

No be same Ibo people dey antagonize Akpabio dey abuse am daily? If you love the Niger Delta people, will you be working against them retaining the third highest position in the country?

Tinubu gave them Senate president, infact the Yoruba senators are at the forefront working night and day for Akpabio to emerge. Same Tinubu gave Wike the keys to Abuja and call him landlord everytime in mutual respect. Both oil and gas ministry are in the hands of ND people. They run that ministry, shey na Tinubu dey run those everyday task of the ministry?

I remember when Onyema was always on the news talking about the problems of Air Peace with the cabals and management theorists were telling him to use an image maker or let someone else do the talking. I was just laughing then because Nigeria is a classic case, you need to fight madness with madness. Dangote doesn't give interviews all the time, this time, Dangote called a press interview to speak about his problems Tell him to give the COO or PR this work to do, sheybi Africa's richest man can buy anything

Dangote, your cries have been heard but looking at that picture, Farouk doesn't look like he is still on the same page. His body is giving

Is it that peace is an abomination to you people? Because I don't understand again o!

Dangote mean well for Nigeria. I believe all those people shouting"Monopoly" up and down probably dont even own a business.
It's been decades and Dangote has been a great employer of labour and enriching Nigeria.

For a large scale project like the refinery which the NNPC has failed at severally, There is nothing bad if Government can support Dangote to achieve this . Other countries too even in Europe do the same thing for

The government can Grant them "tax exemption". This refers to a provision that allows certain individuals, organisations, or activities to be excluded from paying certain taxes.

NIGERIA must work

Tor bitter people won't be happy, this is very commendable from the minister

Wat tax evasion are u talking abt?one thing i hav noticed is that a poor in naija always assume all rich men are responsible for their poverty even wen d rich man has never been involved in governance

Where is that crook called Tinubu?
Is he not the Petroleum Minister?
Why has he not come out to clear the mess he is part of the cause?
After he Mortgaged our crude and selling future crude to collect loans, now they cannot supply Dangote with crude for his Refinery, instead of telling Nigerians the truth about their theft, they want to blackmail and frustrate Dangote by lying to Nigerians that his products are substandard.
Thieves in govt.

What has the government used the tax generated to do? Hurry up ok.

Observing keenly.

Dear Nigerians if:
1) The government cannot supply crude to Dangote refinery at a subsidised cost and agree the price of finished products to the benefit of the masses.

2) The government cannot carry out this supply transaction in naira rather than dollars.

Just know that the government and the neo-colonialists still have sinister plans for you.

Connect the dots, think and wake up!

At the time Emilokan JAGABAN used his Emilokan against Buhari and his cabal, the game became more dreadful. The cabal got more desperate, they brought in all the power they had including the CBN and currency change and hoarding to frustrate the JAGABAN, but the god of Politics and Economics Emilokan Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Jagaban humiliated them all

Cry and weep very well, those before you did the same and they ended in early grave

Imagine if the MD of the NNPC or the NMPDRA was a Yoruba, it'd have assumed a tribal tone., but alas they're Dangote brothers. This is one reason Nigeria needs to break up along tribal/ regional lines. There are some policies, decisions and plans the govt sometimes has to shelve because they know people would read inter-ethnic meaning to it. In a monoethnic nation, such would not happen.

Welcomed developments!




I support anything to move the country forward.

The men wey hold nigeria Money.
