If we had a Dangote in Jamaica, he would never leave us. NEVER! He would never even be allowed to catch a cold. Nigeria does not know that this man is freeing his people from chains. This brings tears to my eyes. NIGERIA BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT YOUR GOVERNMENT IS DOING. TAKE CONTROL. PLEASE!!!!

[@mcamara488]

This is called BLACK SELF HATRED. MOST NIGERIANS/ BLACK POWERS WILL RATHER SEE AND DEPEND ON WESTERN POWERS INSTEAD OF SEEING A BLACK PERSON OWNING A REFINERY IN NIGERIA. THIS IS THE BIGGEST CURSE AMONG WE AFRICANS.

[@MTN99999]

This is proof that often times the ennemis of the Africans are Africans themselves. . We support you Mr Dangote and we the people that want africa to grow are behind you 1000%. This man should be decorated for what he achieved and a pride for everyone calling themselves Africans no matter what country you come from instead they are trying to destroy him but God is great and if you have faith one will always prevail and all this will be in the rear view mirror soon.

[@FOH45]

​@@HassanTaiwo-r7rthey said they prefer importing currently, if they can stop dangote, they will stop anyone else, importing means, rather give the money to other countries

[@HassanTaiwo-r7r]

@FOH45 My brother. I don't support Yari or any NNPC director, but we have to be very careful in the way we present Dangote as untouchable. Dangote bought hilux bosses for custom and bribed FG under Buhari administration to stop importation of sugar but increased his own sugar 4 times of the market value. The same is happening in cement. NNPC fought him because Dangote wanted to be a dictatorship in that business to determine the price he wanted to sell his products without the intervention of FG. The only mistake of Yari was that he made a careless and false allegation against his products, which is condemanble. But how Damgote bribed Jonathan and Buhari administration to retain the ONLY person that has that license, but this administration has told him that they are going to divide the right to each region. Dangote wasn't happy about this.

[@el-sig2249]

@@HassanTaiwo-r7r Yours is the first objective comment I've seen so far. All others are just spewing sentiments. Dangote is really just getting a taste of his own medicine. He's not that good of a businessman. He depends on government assisted monopoly, and most people are not informed enough to understand that.

[@danielattah1836]

​​​@@el-sig2249You're speaking from a limited perspective; whenever an economy is about to bloom, a few people gain the power of oligarchs... This is natural and can be managed to bring about the highest good to nation's welfare. The US had Rockefeller, Carnegie, etc, India has Adani, Ambani, and others, China had Jack Ma and co, Russia had their famous Oligarchy and South Korea has their Chaebol families... There will ALWAYS be a first-mover who should be allowed to have their initial first-mover advantage (pending when others follow suit). The US broke standard oil apart, Putin changed the Oligarchs he met, China put Jack Ma in his place... But they didn't do it immediately, they waited for these visionaries to lay the initial ground work and build the nations' infrastructure and entice others into investing in these countries. When whales die prematurely the ecosystem benefits much less compared to when a proper whale-fall is happening. Please understand and encourage others to do so.

If a group of people known as the 'cabal' hiding inside the govt are saying Dangote refinery's products - diesel, petrol, avaition fuel, etc from it's refinery are of poor quality and won't buy them, then let it be sold abroad to those queuing up to buy them. Why should the mgt of Dangote refinery, waste their valuable time convincing the nigerian govt and the ministry of petroleum resources to buy from them in the first place? Is it not foolish to spend over $12billoon on such a gigantic project for the benefit of nigerians only for some funny govt officials who can't keep the govt's own refineries working to now decide on the quality of the products from this refinery? Is it not a disgrace and a matter of national security that we are importing petroleum products when we have the means all this while to refine it ourselves?..smh 🤔
