Nigeria has a culture of "attack! attack!! attack!!!" It doesn't matter that they can see they're very wrong. Just "attack!"

I told them and argued about the reality today more than a year ago, one only met me a week ago to it I was right and he was far from reality.

I even dreamt about this istration and posted it here almost two years ago. Don't blame me or insult me, some people just have the spirit of foresight.

Bye bye!!

I am not here to win any argument with you. I was right more than a year ago about today's Nigeria and I am stiil very right twenty years from now without subsidies.

Argue with reality!

Subsidies are no luxury, they're a very vital part of any type of economy. Subsidies are like the jet fuel of any economy.

Without which Nigeria will never, never break the quagmire of this wheel of unproductivity, under performance and extreme poverty.

I promise you! Just bring back subsidies, in full, now and save this nation. This is how every success nation operates. And with well over 200 million people, majority very poor, Nigeria needs it far more than all these developed nations that do already pay it and will not stop.

Guestlander:
Very dumb post. Governments often subsidize production not consumption. You started your warped argument by saying anyone who doesn't agree with you is either ignorant or devious!
What a way to put your arguments forward.

Anyone that is against subsidies is either ignorant or very staunchly devious with very nefarious hidden motives.
What do you produce that you want to subsidize? If any government can tax something they should be able to subsidize it.

RepoMan007:
Piece was great until you reached the part about money.
Subsidies when done well is a tool to outsmart your competitors and rivals. Ours is riddled with corruption and because the leaders benefit from it, the will to deliver corruption-free an effective subsidies is not there.

Black black bla bla! Oga you people should stop with the perpetual delusional argument! The ignorance is too showing! Why don't you tell me a single inch or corner of sector in Nigeria that is not corrupt? Tell one entity or person that is spotless and without "corruption"?!

Answer me then you can this argument!

They say "Nigeria pays trillions in subsidies". So what?!
Nigeria pays nothing compared to these nations criticizing you for same thing.

They even say subsidies are used for corruption. Even if its kulikuli that's being being shared there will be corruption. You don't throw away the baby with the bath water.

"Oooh but the rich also benefit from subsidies that not good". Well are the so-called rich not Nigerians too? Do not these countries literally and directly subsidize their own "rich"?

This is a very hard task to accomplish! it is more easy to fool someone than to convince them they're being fooled after they've already believe a lie. I will still try.

I made a post and I said nobody under heaven can argue with me that subsidies are bad, whoever says payments of subsidies are bad is either ignorant or devious and wants your downfall as an entity. Here's why....

You can not point a single country, not a single major country on earth that does not pay subsidies. You'd be surprised to know that even the richest people in the world today have their businesses and even wealth subsidized by their governments. Elon Musk would have never breakthrough with his electric vehicles without US subsidies, he would never have been so wealthy too without tax breaks and direct waivers and other government subsidies.

Today Chinese corporations, companies, industries can bring unimaginably massive returns to the country and government because of the literally trillions of dollars given out as subsidies to them. China today is a leader in electric vehicles cause of the government subsidies, and these industry has not even yet started making profit. China today are in battle with Western countries because the latter are too broke to compete with Chinese government subsidies to its industries.

Today many African countries are facing food shortages as Africa is the only continent in the world where government is totally not involved in any kind of subsidy payments to the farmers. They're left to rot, and rotting they really are. While the US, China, Russia and you insert any country, heavily subsidizes agriculture. Please do research on this and see!

Now let me explain a little how money and economy works....

Money itself is only paper, a branded useless printed paper. A country's brand for exchange. When a government gives out money as subsidies, businesses move well, seamlessly, faster, more robust. The economy moves and grows well and people become richer and more successful. Then, my people, that is when the government can tax these people and businesses and use the taxes for other purposes. We've seen the state of Nigeria today and the economy since this anti people, anti subsidies propaganda character took over.

Nigeria as a major oil producing nation should and most enjoy petroleum products at a very subsidized rate. At least petroleum products! But what really do Nigerians gain from the country? What other single government intervention has or can reach everyone, both rich and poor, urban and rural citizens, like subsidies through Petroleum or other government subsidies in general? No "palliatives" can match that!

The biggest enemies of African nations are the World Bank, IMF, the West and co. Subsidies is as old as any structured human civilizations, it has been in existence in many ways right from Adam and eve.

But the Western international monitory organizations, which their own countries pay subsidies, convinced Africa through massive brain washing, espionage and propaganda that subsidies are bad. But them giving politicians loans for allegedly distributing "palliatives" is what is good? But where are the "palliatives" they lie and borrow money for then?

You know someone is pure evil when they "capitalism" but also try and convince you that subsidies are bad.

But we'll see who is right and who is wrong. Yet the reality proves I am not!

Nicolaelliott40:
You've got a solid point about how Lagos dominates the economic scene. I get that Lagos being the main port and business hub is a big deal, but it feels like other regions, like the South East, are left out. From my own experience, I've seen how regional imbalances can really impact opportunities and local development. If the government spread investments more evenly, maybe by moving key institutions or projects to the South East, it could help balance things out. It would also give people in the South East a fair shot at contributing to the national stage, just like Lagos or Abuja.

I've always maintained I would rather have a hundred views and responses in my post if they're from intelligent people, fair and true, than a hundred thousand ignorant bigots and malicious minds.

Your response is delighting.

In all of these, it is the North that I pity the most. This is where the most has been given to but the least utilized it is.

The Northern Nigeria has cursed itself and it is paying for it the most. If you want to see poverty, lack, hopelessness and abject penury then arrive in places here. But they never realize this fact, yet.

madridguy:
The monthly allocation since 1999 till this moment is enough for any goal oriented governor to drive his state to a better standard more than Lagos.
If we continue to say Lagos was former Nigeria capital, do you also considered the number of the people the government of the Lagos state is taking care of ?
What happened to a state like Bayelsa, with so little population, receiving a very huge allocation, 13% derivation and other oil benefit yet nothing to show for it.

I addressed your point of view. Lagos is still very much the commercial capital of Nigeria, those sea ports are the heart beat of the nation.

But good one you're more polite and reasonable today than normal.

I am not a So-called Igbo, not even from the South. But I learned how to be fair after being a victim of absolute unfairness in The Northern State of Kaduna.

It is a matter of perspective and fairness, and only few have these human gifts. Some learn, adopt and incorporate it. I am one.

Let me start with a Bible verse that says "...to whom much is given much is expected".

Lagos State was the Nigerian capital for almost eighty years ( 77yrs). Lagos State even today is the economic capital of Nigeria as only the state is responsible for well over 90% of all the imports and exports of the more than two hundred million people. Also the biggest and most busiest airport in Nigeria, transporting people and things on a daily, and it has been so for well over a century.

Now consider this, people are naturally drawn to the center, artificially or naturally as with the case of ports, waterways, roads, mining sites, political capitals and centers of istrations.

Just like Kaduna State is to the North today, and what Kano State was to the North centuries ago and Port Harcourt is to Nigeria as the oil companies' center.

Just like what Abuja, the FCT, is to Nigeria today.

But what really has Nigeria given or done to the South East, what is the major and special contributions of the federal government to the South East to make it a National attraction to the country's citizens, thereby making the region a center of anything? Like say Kaduna being the military and educational institutions center of the country thanks to the federal government?

Now back to the assertion of the South West being "accommodating". That is a false popular belief, devoid of any truth historically or currently, as we see in the past few years.

The South West has always been the center of tribal and ethnic strife and xenophobia, popular and targeted at the Northerners first. The South West today is the center of tribalism and ethnic strife, targeted at the South Easterners. It has been even more prominent since the Obasanjo regime (even though a Yoruba too), but especially under the Goodluck istration, but as we've seen it is in its full form since the Buhari/Tinubu collaboration in National power struggle (the most vicious and incompetent duo).

The South West is like that person given a large gold nugget but also left with the responsible to carry the weight. If you don't want it break the nugget into pieces and share it round. Diversify and spread round those cargo sea ports in Lagos.

If you want to know if and how the South East can also be accommodating diversify and spread the center of affairs to them, you make the South East also a hub of national istration just like Lagos, Port Harcourt, Kaduna, Abuja and co.

The South West is not more 'accommodating', it only has the first major benefit of being the center of Nigerian National commerce and istration.

If you don't want the responsibility reject the benefits! Start by relocating the Central Bank and finance minitry to the South East, setting up a fully operational sea port for them their.

RenaissanceGuy:
You don't have to talk about every tribe in order to drive your point home, but Nigeria is 'majorly' a tripartite country made up of Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo and each of these tribes have practiced nepotism and tribalism against one another in the past. So you can't just wake up and decide to write a post to pour adulation/praise on one tribe and make it look like a victim whilst others are to be vilified and spat on.
BTW, some people think I'm Igbo here due to my criticism of the govt while some others think I'm Yoruba because of my balanced views on pro Yoruba issues and I've never been involved in tribal tirades and fisticuffs. So where did you see me always dragging tribes and Igbo into discussions??

Your entire point is about 'tribe'. I do not believe or want to continue with the views of seeing groups of people especially ones made up of literally tens of millions as 'tribe'. That is insulting and demeaning to those peoples and ethnic groups, and it is a dumb mentality.

I never singled out any people groups, Yoruba or Igbo in my write-up especially for criticism or "adulation/praises". I pointed out quick and recognizable examples and instances that came to my mind as I write.

You're making this about your so-called issues of "tribe", I am being holistic about historical, international, continental, national and racial issues and why the entire Africa and Black people as a whole are still at the bottom.

Saao:
[/b] I'm 95% sure you're an Igbo and it shows in your write up. You Spoke very well but implicate yourself in the bolded. The major destroyer of this country are the igbos and Yorubas until you guys decide to change your mentality and stop disgracing Nigeria Nigeria will be better for it. Tribal hatred run in Igbo and Yoruba blood no matter how you want to make sense, they still enslaved themselves mentally with bitter hatred.

When I wrote against Dangote greed and selfishness they called me Yoruba, when I wrote against the dollars they called me Yoruba. Now I write against bigotry and caveman tribal mentality and they call me Igbo.

In reality, nobody can pick out where I am from in Nigeria even in person as they all thought I look like Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Tiv, from Jos, and all soughts. Maybe I am everyone and from everywhere as I do not even know my father.

Maybe I am you and you really are not even yourself.

RenaissanceGuy:
No, this is not a good response. Striking a balance in writeups like this one, is very important. It helps to put your opinion on a good stand.

I am happy about this reply, I can talk about it.

I can not go into and talk about every discuss in such a short post. I would need to write a book for this.

But you always want to drag "tribes" and the Igbo particularly in discussions. But as A Nigerian I can not see how the Igbos affect or hinder the progress of the country or me personally, or affect any national laws or policies.

The Igbos never ed Buhari or the abysmal disaster we have now in Tinubu. They never held any significant office or position in Nigeria for as long as I was in existence and even most of the country's history. Instead it seems they are on the right side of history with their opposition on Buhari, Tinubu, APC and a lot of the policies, positions and directions the country has been and is still on now.

The Igbos are not in any position to respond or punish South Africa for their xenophobia against Africans and the Igbos largely were against the war with Niger Tinubu clamored for and the resultant division of ECOWAS.

What really do you want me to critisize the Igbos for again? Tell me how and where the Igbos ever caused, affected or influenced any position in Nigeria and Africa so I too can be enlightened?!

DevilsEqual:
Adeleke's mum is Igbo
Seyi Makinde's wife is from Rivers
As at then,Akeredolu's wife was Igbo
You know deep down that those tribal slurs were the reason GRV was resisted
If a tribe that could be this liberal is still very tribalistic to you, then it's fair to assume all your Govs are Non-igbos, sadly that's not even the case

Firstly, I am not Igbo or even from the South. Now if this is all you're able to pick up from the message, then go into your room, turn off the lights and shut your door tightly and cry very hard about it. Cry till you start to have a hick-up, then you'll feel better.

nlreserve:
Divide Nigeria and see all the regions progress

If you had any capacity and capability to 'progress' you would have even in a united Nigeria. You go to bed, progress is far from a mind like yours.

DevilsEqual:
You had to sneak in that GRV matters again
But u forgot to talk about Betty Anyanwu's case
My states former first lady was not allowed to even contest for a senatorial seat in her state of birth,just because she's married to a Yoruba man who was even a Gov
You didn't add that of Bianca Ojukwu that wasn't allowed to contest in the husbands state, which was also within same region
Hypocrisy is a full resident of SE Nigeria

I also didn't talk about the fact The Southern Kaduna people are so tribalistic and bigoted to come together and agree in Kaduna State against the malice by the Muslim North even as I too am from the State.

Nairaland has enough memory space and enough people like you to create the post about any topic. Do it yourself.

Religion is not your problem, it saved Europe. Accepting homos*xuality that's being forced on you by the Whites will not salvage you.

You're just a victim of a circle of malice you too are a party to.

What do you know about Elon Musk? A very very success American billionaire, the richest person in American and the world. With a very controversial life, past, opinions and political views in America too. Right? Correct!

Let me add some more about the story of Elon musk.

He is actually a White South African born and raised and during the Apartheid regime. His father is a wealthy and obviously privileged person of European descent.

Now observe this reality. Elon Musk is born of privilege and enjoys same in a very unjust country, he then moved to a similar country with similar history and became so success. But Elon Musk is not the most intelligent, strongest or hardest worker in America. But very lucky and highly privileged. And because he's White European descent is at the fore of his success, both from his origin in South Africa and then America.

Now Elon Musk is almost deified by the whites in America even with his background, especially among the Republicans and 'conservatives' particularly.

But my dear African, let us now observe the story of Chidimna briefly.

She is born in South Africa (unlike Musk in America), only knows that country as her own but is now facing so much extreme hate and share malice from not only the Black South Africans but even Africans, and Nigerians too, for every reasons, albeit unproven, under heaven. She faces hate even among the so-called Black Americans. No from anywhere but malice!

Have you yet seen why Africans are always last in all areas till now? More examples...

At one time the Muslims from the middle East, Ottomans, Persia and North Africa ruled Europe. They practically colonized the Europeans and enslaved them for hundreds of years, just like the Europeans today to Africa.

But Europe, unified by Christianity, came together under a single European supremacy ideology and not only pushed the Arabs and Muslims back, but conquered them and the whole world and then set their eyes on Africa. And till now you're a slave to them, now through mentally that is.

Now let us talk about Chidinma and the South African mentality.

There are millions of Asians (Chinese, Indians Arabs etc.), Europeans, Americans, South Americans, Australians, New Zealanders in South Africa. Occupying every, I mean every, areas of the country even politics. Direct immigrants from Asia and Europe are elected into political and public offices in South Africa. One British even ed a political party in South Africa and is gaining popularity. A Chinese woman is elected in congress in South Africa, more than 2 million illegal Europeans in South Africa today doing far better than the millions of the Blacks and comparable to the White South Africans

Today in Nigeria we've seen how a governorship aspirants got bullied, attacked, denied, rejected and many more because he has an Igbo mother. We've seen how Nigeria sinks into the abyss because even now the average Nigerian, African Black person, still thinks, expresses himself, sees himself and regards his fellow Black person with the mentality, mindset, and emotions of a caveman, primitive cave entity.

Since I discovered and acknowledged this mentality in me too and actively seek to change it my life has never remained the same again. From a total orphan, who never knew or even seen the pictures of his parents, owned nothing and hungry, I rose above the majority and even in my twenties today I could see a future better than most for my self.

That is why Africa, Africans, Nigeria and the people are not and will never be successful and break the yoke of this penury and servitude and puppetry to everyone else. And even if an african is a Pastor or a Nobel laurete and Professor, as is the case of Enoch Adeboye and Wole Soyinka respectively, their minds is still stock in primitve tribalism and hate for the next African, jealously and misplaced negative emotions.

Your hearts and mentality towards yourselves is your biggest limitation to your societies. The story of Elon Musk compared to Chidimma is prove of that.

Rexymania:
We need to grow up in Africa and the world generally... USA na very wicked and cruel country

All the countries of the world put together have not invaded and or even interfered in the affairs of other countries compared to the USA alone. The US have killed countries' leaders, instigated civil wars and caused genocides, stolen and sabotaged so many countries it is insanity and demonic.

The country, USA, is the last outpost and upholder of White supremacy and power, Western imperialism and meddling. But their greatest weapons are their media, news, movies, musics and co. And that is why you can be severely damaged but still overlook, forget and then love the conning demon.

Horus:


The withdrawal of Burkina, Mali and Niger from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) will lead to a
common currency that will be viable thanks to the rich soils of the three countries

Beautiful! The so-called former French colonies are a perfect example of the fraud which is the use of a foreign currency. The only difference between the dollars and CFA franc is that while the dollars is used i n its host country, the trash, CFA franc, is printed by and disbursed but not used by them.

So the gets all the benefits like one of which is getting the African countries' natural resources for useless paper they themselves print but do not use. You see the scam I'm talking about?!

But thankfully Mali, Niger, Borkina Faso are freeing themselves from it. And Borkina Faso, for the first time its entire history, just opened up their own state Bank to ister their own businesses and affairs away from the demon which is .

This dollars you see today will one day become like heavy load on anyone holding it. The scam is failing and nothing anyone can do about it but hold it tight and sink with it.

That is why Nigeria most fight and push for a unified Ecowas single currency. We benefit the most, so much you cannot yet quantify.

But your puppet is in charge, dividing the Ecowas block and busy doing the good works of his lords the West.

You're just a 'sophisticated' unsuspecting victim. A big one, but you don't know by how much and how far deep! Sorry.

You're so poor so that they may be so wealthy and successful. A not so honorable sacrifice.

I don't think I can keep this fraud quiet again!!

So someone made a post that made it to front page and I can't help but share this very popular and 'accepted' international scam here.

Two people from different places want to transact a business, any kind of business together. Someone somewhere else, with zero input or contribution to their affairs 'convinced' them to come to his own table and transact their business, and in the process they fund, sustain and subsizes his own affairs at their detriment as now their own transactions becomes expensive, under his watch and regulations and their own businesses takes a hit.
All the third person contributes is a table he says is more stable and secured but as we see that is a big lie.

Today before Nigeria can transact any business with say China (the biggest business partner with Africa as a whole by a far wide margin and growing) they most through the dollars, even as this Western currency has zero input in the trade between the two countries. And not like Nigeria or especially China can not provide their own currencies for the trade or find alternatives.

PROBLEMS.

.-Prices of goods, services and commodities becomes very expensive, delayed, sluggish.

.- Natural resources from your countries are now almost a give away as the currencies they 'buy' with they actually own and free print. You're exchanging value for a fraudulent imagination.

.-Your own currencies take a very big hit and less attractive even to the host countries.

.-Your currencies become a far second place and very weak.

.-Both countries' transactions are heavily under watch, supervision and can get punished in form of 'SANCTIONS' by the owners of the dollars anytime they see fit.

.- International borrowing becomes expensive, hard and payments even harder. And they lend you paper they print for nothing, put you in debt and then take more of your resources for nothing. Again!

.- By extension you directly and indirectly subsidize the lifestyle and transactions of the America with the dollars or any third party currency involved.

.- You are very prone to inflations and economic irregularities and any shake in the third currency from the strange country is directly felt by your own country, a problem you have absolutely no control over.

.- The US now owes about a whooping 35 trillion (35,000,000,000,000) dollars. This is the largest of any country by a wide margin, biggest debt in history and an amount even US government officials know and it they can not pay back. But can not stop borrowing as they literally print the currency from paper, at no cost.
This is a ticking time bomb that those ignorant, subservient, docile, shortsighted countries who can not read the omen and the continues growing hostile multipolar world, away from the US led unipolar world, will pay a very high and severe price for.

As more and more of the big global South countries are dumping the US dollars, very major economies and historically dollar based foreign reserve countries are selling off their foreign currencies and strengthening trade with one another using their own currencies in form of CURRENCY SWAPs, and hoarding the gold. Others with a small mind and vision about the future, the simple minded countries, will pay darely when this very notorious scam ship sinks.

Nigeria, Africa has no business with the dollars, at least very little business compared to China which is the biggest trading partner with African countries, and it just keeps growing exponentially.

So why don't African countries swap currencies with China, Russia, India and co. so as to make trade cheaper, faster, more beneficial in strengthening both local currencies and more safer?

Money itself as a currency is only valuable because of what it can do, hence precious metals and stones. Bank notes or paper currencies in itself are just useless, except you're burning for warmth or wiping.

So if we're going to use currencies why not our own, and by extension that of the second country of trade?

The dollars as a means of global exchange is the biggest fraud in human history. And we've all fallen neck them in it, many others even literally worship the scam!

And that is one of the reasons why the US needs an over bloated, over sized and over spent on military. They need to protect the greatest and biggest, long standing scam in history.

And you're an unsuspecting victim!!

I heard someone listening to Tems' song so we entired a discussion about her. I then asked him the name of her song he was playing, he had to check to confirm.

This shows my point well. Most of her songs are all the same, nothing different or fresh, nothing outstanding. Just bland and repetitive gibberish about nothing with, zero meaning and depth.

Yet is was she who some social engineers pick out to give a so-called "world acclaim" award. Now observe the massively and very heavily financed mind reconditioning on an unsuspecting general public.

You don't need to go naked, or go to the West and claim to be a homos*xual to get fame.

Now compare and contrast. See what massive social conditioning, propaganda and brain washing can do to the general public.

I know it was only a matter of time, that bad artiste will gradually vanish and true original talent, hardwork and genuine work will prevail.

He's even by far a better musician than Davido, wizkid, Burna Boy. And I believe only 2face would have matched or better him in this industry if 2face was still as active.

Firstly let me give an example of the fact songs and musical artists today do not necessarily have to be outstanding and the best to gain popularity and fame. All it takes now most of the times is marketing, promotions, ulterior agendas, sentiments and international so-called "acclaim".

The musician Tems is an example of a very poor artist with very generally bad and poorly aging songs. But still we have seen that with a lot of noise and , sentiments and internationally pushed social societal agendas even someone so incapable and untalented can be famous, win awards, have their songs played a few times and get rich (all for a while).

Who even listens to any of Tems' songs or even gives her any attention again? And this is who was seen to be so fit to receive a so-called " internationally most acclaimed musical award" as the Grammy (observe the propaganda and agenda).

Now let us compare with this person I consider the most underrated but very successful and most praise worthy musician with the most beautiful and ever catchy yet ever green songs that never go out of commission. Someone who most of his songs are always a banger and one everyone, of all ages, can listen to and even quickly and easily sing along.

This is someone whose songs I have seen children sing along the most, and know very easily, everywhere. And he doesn't and almost never even put up nudes to garner viewership. Just beautiful presentation and everything else.

No Nigerian musician today comes even close to Kizz Daniel in music. Oh lord! His songs are simple, his videos are also simple, yet very meaningful, ever green, consistent and catchy. Yet I still have never seen a more underrated and underappreciated artist like him.

I just came across one of his more latest songs and, come on, this is a master piece!

One of the biggest problems with Nigerians is the massive and intense level of jingoism and fanatical blind loyalty to tribalism, ethnic, religious cheuvanism and bigotry.

Some people are only against Dangote today as they feel the interests of their lord and tribal brother is at stake. Others Dangote as they think he's now a counter to the said lord, and maybe also from their ethnic group.

And in so doing every decisions you make and sides you take is borne out of sentiments and ignorance.

We've seen it even in supposedly learned Professors like Wole Soyinka, and so-called heavy "men of God" Pastors like Enoch Adeboye.
And so we ask why Nigeria never makes lasting progress if any or decisions for the collective good, but that is because the most literate intellectuals and spiritual leaders are no different from the most tribal atheist.

Salewa97:
Dangote is truly a game changer in the Nigerian economy. His investments are not just about profit; they’re about transforming industries and creating jobs.

The way he strategically allocates his resources is commendable. This is the kind of visionary leadership we need to inspire the younger generation.

While others are busy complaining, Dangote is busy building the future of Nigeria. His legacy will definitely pave the way for more entrepreneurs to follow suit.

Dangote is all about himself and ambitions. The most deadly job in Nigeria are the Dangote trucks on the lives of Nigerians. Dismantling the Dangote monopolistic practices and tendencies is going to create far more jobs, entrepreneurs and opportunities for a greater percentage of people than what one person can ever hope to create, especially people like him.

ayoolataiwo:
The power of media cannot be over emphasised,,guy see say dem cabal wan wound am,he run to public space as omo ogbon

I am not and have never been in of this government. But we should do everything to make sure they put this selfish greed in his place.

I have never seen such an ungreatful yet highly dependent but very non collectively-benefiting person like this man.

Help Dangote, Help Dangote! For what?! Why should he be helped, has he ever been greatful for all the help he's enjoyed? Nobody has benefitted from Nigeria like Dangote has.

Even Tony Elumelu has had a foundation for more than a decade now helping and uplifting the lives of not only Nigerians put all young Africans.

But even with the very common fact that the Nigerian government are outrightly responsible for helping Dangote finish his refinery, this man has never said thank you. He just keeps complaining and asking for more so he can build his "empire". His empire! At the expense of all of us.

A refinery that will never aid in the reduction of fuel prices, but more monopoly and channeling the wealth of the industry from benefiting many different people to just one person, him.

We might have noticed that since Dangote was blackmailed by that American hook up lady, he seems to have discovered something. The power of the media and the effectiveness of propaganda.

You might have noticed that Dangote is giving more interviews, is increasing his presence in social media spaces and his name and face has been popping up since a very few years now. And more "influencers" and content creators are doing more videos and documentaries about him. It seems to be paying off as we have seen even with the very popular protests against him by the Kogi State residents and his controversies with the State's government, Dangote didn't receive any condemnations and backlash from the Nigerian public. Instead, he only seems to grow in popularity and good will with Nigerians.

Not even Bill gates has or would have ever survived what Dangote has done and is doing without outrightly being jailed, as it almost happened before he stepped down as the Microsoft Chair to focus on his "philanthropy" (just another money making scheme). But Dangote is only getting started!

Nigeria is no where close to having a single individual being so wealthy as Dangote. Nigeria with a population of well over 200 million people, and a GDP of a meager 270+ billion dollars can not have one person holding 5-7% of the nation's entire wealth. This is a big problem waiting to happen and no one with little understanding will say Dangote got to where he is soley or even to a greater extent just by being so hardworking or too intelligent.

Dangote, as we have seen, does not do anything in the slightest to make the lives of the average Nigerian better in any way. Dangote doesn't even pay Kogi State their share of the resources he extracts from them to enrich himself. No country in the world would tolerate such a person, such a person that doesn't give back in any way to the citizens aside donating to politicians for campaigns. But is holding an entire part of the nation's sector to ransom with his overpriced commodities produced in the same country.

Being the "richest Black man and African" does not improve the lives of anyone anywhere!

His refinery will not make the lives of anyone better, he just wants the same leeway and complete freedom to take over and control the petroleum arena the same way he did in the construction areas and partly the food industry.

Even corporations-based countries like South Korea would not tolerate characters like Dangote, while not even seeing real benefits to the citizens like easier access and cheaper goods, safety and job opportunities.

So instead of Dangote to put more effort and resources to make things easier for Nigerians and commodities cheaper so that his actions and contributions can speak louder, he is putting exponential resources into propaganda, brainwashing and especially personality worship. Which are effective ways to get the average Nigerian worshipping, in suffering, while even the North itself is deep in unimaginable poverty, illiteracy and homelessness.
