Why does he need to be president? He is more effective as an entrepreneur. Politics isn't the solution to all our problems.

[@sethsamuel6357]

@@listenup2882 But he has a massive limit to the which he can do as an entrepreneur. If he becomes the president, he becomes the CEO of the entire nation and if he puts the effort, exposure and intellectualism he has deployed to become the richest African in such an unfriendly environment as we have, and if he doesn't get corrupted or selfish, but determined, don't you know that Nigeria will change over night to good and something utopian?

[@mucholangs]

Is Dangote advocating for power business? I actually don't think so, because he can already get into the power sector as a private company. Even the law now allows individual states to generate their own power. One thing he said that surprised me is the amount of tax govt takes on business revenue. 52%? That can't be true. The govt taxes telecom companies even more. Instead of taxing so much, the govt needs to have standards in place, where companies are ordered to improve service. For example, order FTTH in individual homes. The faster our Internet, the more profit business makes, and the more tax revenue govt takes receives in the long run. Dangote is very correct about smuggling. Our borders are porous. The problem has been there for generations. Nobody has tried to fix it.

[@tomishift]

Last time I checked, states can't really generate their own power. Why? Because there are regulations that limit the size of power generation and transmission & frustrate the economics to do so. E.g. Mini grid generation cap in Nigeria is 1MW. Around the world, it is 10MW. Why? I don't know And once you generate more than1MW, you must connect to the national grid.

Since 1999 all effort by OBJ, GEJ and MB to provide power has led us to no where. One way out is to bring in good generator producers to assembly them locally with possible local content development.
