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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dangote is a national asset whether you like it or not and he's not the only billioniare Nigeria has. Instead of destroying your own asset, think ing it for your own benefit. You won't understand the value of having billioniares until you go to countries that barely have a millioniare, even on world map your country's name will be hard to locate as no country would want to associate with such country either for business or anything. On the side of having higher cost of products all depends on the government driving the economy. The government can use only one policy to create a comfortable business environment for any business to thrive. Here, even foreign businesses are running away due to anti business policies that if you don't sell higher, you'll be out of business sooner and it's damaging where there's low patronage. FG is in direct conflict with Dangote and that's very bad for the health of this country. No matter what happens, the US won't fight their own billioniares driving world economy.

Nigerians should learn from Dangote's hustle, this is what hard work and vision look like. Some people just want to complain, but real success comes from investment and dedication. Let them keep watching while he keeps building.

So it is marketers that will reduce price of petroleum for you?

In summary, Portable, Prof Soyinka and Daddy Adeboye are one and same with different names & titles. 😁

Impressive move by Dangote!

His investments are truly shaping the future of Nigeria.
