Titto93:if a company sells at 2000 naira for instance and d distributor sells at 1970 to retailerlers. For every bag sold the dealers loose 30 naira. How will d distributor make profit at d end of d month since he looses 30 naira for every bag sold. Am curious I really need to understand this. |

Flameneo:None of your fact is correct... the truth is, you're not into the business * Dangote no longer sell 600 bags, its over 5 years he gave out those trailers that carry 600bags... last year October, he bought 2,000 trailers that can carry 1,200 bags but due to certain reasons he reduced it to 900bags. Dangote, BUA, Ibeto, Unicem factories can never carry less than 900bags... But the distributors can use those lesser trailers to carry 600bags to retailers *Dangote has 3 plants, Obajana, Kogi state supplies to south south and southeast... Gboko, Benue state supplies to North, while Ibese, Lagos supplies to southwest and other parts of south. That's why I said the price difference is negligible *No dealer can sell you cement on credit... Nothing like paying on delivery, it's pay before service... Be honest or silent 11 Likes 1 Share |

lakaplonto: The reduction of price normally comes towards the end of the month, the reason is simple, to reach their target. Thus, the commission they get once they reach their target is far bigger than the little they might have reduce to get to that target 5 Likes |

Dikechigozie:That's the reason for this thread... since 2005, Dangote has never sell cement below #1,200, not to talk of #1,000. it's laughable. If you can't trust me, you can go straight to any of these factories: Gboko, Benue state, Obajana, Kogi state Ibese, Lagos state 1 Like |

SirAweezy:What's the point in purchasing one trailer from the factory when you can get it cheaper from distributors, since you have no plans to reach a monthly target of about 10 trailers and above... Now you see why it's of no value buying one trailer from factory? 1 Like |

B4bestbrain: The problem most times isnt cement, the problem is we build blindly. Structural design calculations are meant to be carried out for each house before construction, there are several grades of cement as well as several grades of steel. Each can be safely used so long as the engineer uses that specification to carry out his structural design. The main issue is that folks go to site and do the rubbish they call building by experience, most of these experience is quackery. Our building approval offices are a beehive of corruption, they just collect money without caring to cross check the structural design calculations that is in the few times people even submit one. Then on site, no one cares to look at the structural detail drawings. It is madness all round except in constructions handled by renowned engineering firms. So for a very long time to come we would use poor quality of materials to shift the blame, it would save our face for ages to come in Nigeria but overseas you dare not. If a building goes down, the engrs must explain and adequate test and review of their design calculations would be done, if found culpable they would serve jail time. Simple as that. Oops i forgot this is a country were bricklayers are called engrs. Lolz 2 Likes |
