Hmmm, a good layman explanation. But the cabals who make 650% are the importers, the wealthy, the politicians and the people in power . We masses are the real sufferers not any of those guys or their children. People who import generators of all sort will do all things to sabotage any stable electricity in Nigeria. Everything still boils [size=18pt]down to corruption.[/size] |

pacino26: There is a reason why in the world bank ease of doing business index, Nigeria is 136. The system needs overhauling. That is the only way to get our priorities straightened and have people prepared to see to these priorities being followed through. Until then, it will be more talk and no action. -Lord 1 Like |

tonyfrenzy: You are CORRUPT. Stop making corruption a thing of the 1%. Corruption pervades the Nigerian society. We need to change how the society operates. If not, things will remain the same. See it this way, if you become wealthy enough to import goods in a big way, you still have to settle customs, pay exorbitant double or triple taxes, pay bloated electricity bills for zero power, pay huge amounts for diesel for your warehouse and your house, and in a situation like it is now, you will buy dollars for N385/$1 from the black market or banks when CBN exchange rate is N199/$1. The system is not funny for anyone, it breeds, feeds, and protects corruption. -Lord 2 Likes |

Iroh88: The analogy aims to depict things from the hunter's (Nigeria's) perspective. The writer was not concerned about profit vs turnover from the restaurateur's perspective. The salient message is that Nigeria could refine crude oil and save money. Common knowledge however. 3 Likes |

LordAdam: So it should continue to be like that? We should pray for this government to continue the mission of reducing corruption (...you still have to settle customs, pay exorbitant double or triple taxes...)to a bearable extent, not just to accept the fact that it exists in every corner of Naija and continue to perpetuate it. smh. |

I want to believe the pepper soup seller didn't prepare the meat under a roofless home with urine, poo, sand and paper. I want to believe those buying our oil aren't refining with magic, wave and the expertise of new born babies. The Question we should be asking is: is it profitable and cost-effective to refine our oil? Would you buy 'Agbo' (herbal medicine) at N500/bottle when a tablet of paracetamol (made in Indian) costs only N20, just because you want to patronize your local medicine sellers in Nigeria? If the business environment in Nigeria is favourable, everything including refineries would work effortlessly and profitably. Which of these refining machineries do you manufacture in Nigeria? How many Nigerian engineers can operate and run a refinery? lol, most of these things/expertise would still be imported (expensive), so why are we f00ling ourselves? Until our business environment and knowledge is enhanced, some things would remain cheaper when imported. Your analogy is not comprehensive reason being that the hunter has no choice! He cannot prepare pepper soup, so if he must prepare one, he has to pay to learn how to prepare pepper soup. The question is, is he ready to learn? at what cost? N10,000? Are you sure he won't go back to beg the woman after paying N10,000 for training? Do Nigerian engineers travel out for training? Yes. At what cost? Billions! Why do we still run to beg the trainers (white men) to come run our refineries? Our flyovers? At what cost? The hunter killed the animal with a cheap bullet (that's profit), but the woman can't! Don't you think the pepper soup seller ought to have killed the same animal to increase her profit margin? This issue of refinery has been going on for long but Nigerians need to know the truth. Running a refinery is not a child's play. Until we develop our knowledge bank, Nigeria will continue to import everything till Christ come! Before we build refineries, let's learn to make competitive match sticks. Its N5 per box all the way from China. How many Nigerians can produce such and sell at N3 per box? NONE! Why? We cannot make the machine that makes match sticks. 3 Likes |
