Dangote will sell at sweatheart price?

Even if he buys in dollars that would be NNPC buying in dollars from Dangote within Nigeria and not international oil firms.
Rest. Your arguements on this have not been stable.

Nobody has yet to see Made In Nigeria outside Nigeria. Maybe youre busy internally with generators. Otherwise - African trade remains centred on the three countries that have an appreciable manufacturing base — South Africa, Kenya and Egypt.

Kenya in that mix is a joke. You manufacture nothing - like absolutely nothing.

Four days ago....

Square Pharmaceuticals of Bangladesh is pumping $74 million into a new manufacturing facility in Kenya as Africa continues to attract more production interest.

Square expects the plant will produce more than 2 billion tablets and capsules annually when it opens early next year, making it the largest pharma manufacturing operation in East and Central Africa, the publication allAfrica reported. The facility, located on a 15-acre site near Nairobi, will produce malarial and diabetes drugs as well as other unspecified medicines.

The plant is slated to be operational by early next year and generate about 500 jobs for skilled and unskilled workers.

"Square's investment to Kenya has come with a potential to transform a pharmaceutical import dependent country to a net exporter of pharmaceuticals soon," Tapan Chowdhury, managing director of Square, told allAfrica.

Focus on the value-chain - not long useless excitment - that is all Dangote will get - about 1-2B dollars from refining crude. Anything else is ignorancy. Opportunity Cost of not exporting - is equal to the forex- you'll "save".

Yeah the value chain is beneficial and huge, no matter how you look at it.
We are tired of just exporting crude. If NNPC refineries come on board, we could easily tell Dangote to import crude oil, while we continue to sell crude close to what we were selling If we improve power supply and successfully convert all state owned transport vehicles to gas powered vehicles. It's always a win win situation to me.

West Africa Tea Market Size, Share & Growthhttps://www.alliedmarketresearch.com › west-africa-tea-...
The West Africa tea market size was valued at $1.6 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $2.6 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 8.5% from 2021.

I checked few days ago - and I see Nigeria imports lots of tea - from Sudan, egypt and name it.

All those countries buy Kenya bulk tea - pack it - and send it to West Africa - making more money than us.

With Ruto on board - we want to double farmers earning - by going directly to suc markets.

Don't be silly. It's not about export alone. Nigeria's internal market is huge. Look at the top 10 companies on our stock exchange. At least 4 of them are manufacturing companies, in fact the first one is a manufacturing company.

Can we see the first 10 companies on the Nairobi stock exchange and how many of them are manufacturing companies and their market capitalization?

Dangote Cement, BUA cement, BUA foods and Nestle Foods.

A $74m investment is a paltry sum,I am embarrassed on your behalf. Give me a more competitive figure. Common ogun state can hack that and even do better.

In succinct terms,no one would leave a sleep of such minuscule sum.

Nonsense,Nigeria doesn’t drink that much tea. The fact that the entire west African region which is probably the most populated on the continent has that paltry figure of $1.6bn is enough to tell you that your tea is worthless to us. You are wasting your time,there is no market for you here.
Re: Kenyans Are Far Behind Nigerians In Every Aspect – Fani-Kayode by rvp2018: 3:41pm On Oct 11, 2022
You sound violent. Is your generator or parambulator refusing to start. Northern Nigeria aka muslims drink tea - from sudan. We want them to drink best tea from kenya. You can continue drinking bitter roots.

And 1.6B is a lot of money in agri sector. The multiplier effect is nothing compared to OIL (which benefits Dangote alone). 1.6B spread to 600,000 farmers has huge impact on rural poverty.

If you want 2020 data, you're free to check Ghana trade ministry data which has it at 20% and every year it goes up

Good you said it yourself “roots “ - half the tea we drink are for medicinal purposes (herbs) otherwise you are on your own. We’d opt in for hot chocolate any day over your worthless tea. The weather is already hot here,no need to add to buy drink hot leave.


And yes $1.6bn for tea where of of it it taken as herb is not something monumental. You would loose your shirt if you step into this region.


Put it straight,you can’t hack. No one is interested in it.
