Watching from the Caribbean. I was so excited about this investment, where a melanin African: Mr. Dangote, who invested over $30 billion in the world's biggest oil refinery right here in Nigeria. With pride we anticipated how it was going to positively impact not only Nigeria's economy but the continent as a whole, in terms of intercontinental trade + FOREX. It is unbelievable how a Government, + indigenous Africans of that country who runs the regulatory framework, along with other petrol agencies, would stoop so low, to compromise there very own country and nation's livelihood, in favor of foreign interest & self greed (Corruption) I mean what kinds of beings would prefer the stagnation of thier economy, witness currency value falls, create artificial population poverty, instead of building wealth? Is Nigeria cursed? I mean what is really wrong? Are they robots controlled by western entities? As a Pan Africanist .This is so disappointing and frustrating.
Western entities have a very minor role in this I fear. Nigerian elites are more interested in personal wealth than national growth and development. They would rather the whole country go poor so far they are able to profit from it. Nothing concerns them with ending poverty, in fact they encourage it and use it as a weapon to hold onto power. A poor person would do anything for scraps at the table and will be less threat to them.
The "world's largest" refinery in Nigeria, when none of the four existing refineries were not working, should have informed you that the whole exercise was a scam and a fòkìn' joke.
Thanks for the update. The refineries owned by the Nigerian government is not working, despite spending billions of dollars. A Nigerian citizen took it upon himself to build a refinery of that magnitude, and some people are trying to frustrate him. It seems that some Nigerian public officials are trying to destroy the country completely. They only put their selfish interest first, above the country.
Treasonable, irresponsible comment with such malice. Shocking that a comment has managed to reduce Nigeria to laughing stock. Farouk needs to resign especially if he can show us his testing lab.
A regulatory agency who does not have it own lab to test what it's going to regulate. What corruption has done to us in Nigeria only God knows. Does it means they have no money to set up lab? No, It's to be making money from contracts given to private lab to do the test for them.
We should be grateful for all this brouhaha because it has exposed some hidden things we never knew as regards the fuel we use for our vehicles that are imported.
Glory, strength and courage to Dangote. He will emerge victorious from the mafia. What was hidden is already visible...Shame on these Nigerians who are fighting against their country.Shame..
@@kayrams1792 Nigeria has only two types of crude oil 🛢️, his Refinery can process six other types, of which "fracking" is plentiful in the USA, but NOT enough Refinery to process. Be calming down before shaming us
With the domestic crude obligations to Nigeria set at 445,000 BPD, how then, are Dangote Refinery and other local refineries unable to access this crude? This has been the provision for many years. Local demand has been redirected as corrupt players have ensured that the Nigerian refineries never produce!!! Who has been benefiting from this arrangement? Local refiners like Dangote will certainly add value, enhance the Nigerian economy, provide employment, drop prices at the pump, which in turn impact all other prices across the board, and save significant forex. Now, Dangote has to import crude from Brazil and the US?!?! This madness can not continue!!! The powers that be must fix this nonsense!!!
Now for those of you in Haulage business importing heavy trucks from overseas, you can now see why your Trucks doesn’t last more than 4yrs in Nigeria. Bad diesel importation. Everyone can see the value chain of a bad leadership and management. May God help this sinking country Nigeria. Amen
I like this. I expected it. His men should do more of the talking with hard facts. Dangote has very highly skilled employees. I remember when I was in my final year at the university in Benin, I heard that Dangote made offers to have 1st class graduates work for his company. He goes for the best, irrespective of ethnic origin. He just needs their brains. Little wonder his companies are doing well compared to the public owned refineries whose employees were recruited based on quota system instead of merit. Dangote should talk less and allow his employees to do the talking so that it doesn't seem like he is taking the matter personally. He has very capable hands.
Youre right but we need more refineries in nigeria let them start working if only one is working and its dangote its monopoly let our crude be refined in our country nigeria
Here are the 10 bullet points summarizing the key points about sulfur in fuel and its impact on the environment and human health: - Sulfur in fuel is a pollutant, but it's not the same as particulate matter (soot and fly ash). - Particulate matter consists of soot (black and combustible) and fly ash (gray and non-combustible). - Sulfur is more potentially dangerous due to its ability to form sulfuric acid and acid rain. - Sulfur dioxide reacts with water to form sulfuric acid, a major contributor to acid rain. - Acid rain can damage crops, buildings, and aquatic life. - Sulfur dioxide can also react with moisture in the lungs, causing respiratory problems. - Inhaling sulfur dioxide can lead to lung disease, bronchitis, and other health issues. - Sulfur emissions can also contribute to climate change and air pollution. - Reducing sulfur in fuel can help minimize these negative impacts on the environment and human health. - Using cleaner fuels and implementing emissions controls can help reduce sulfur emissions and mitigate these issues.
when a matter become polarized only emotions enter am. no one cares about what comes next. yes local refinery is a step forward but proper measures must also be put in place in order not to lead to strong environmental concerns.
I am just wondering why it took this long for the government of President Tinubu to get in the know of what is happening in NNPC. If the president is truly in control of his government. He should call out those involved in this sabotage to explain to Nigerians the reasons for their actions
Dangote does not set price of fuel. It is a general international price. The reason we think the price is high is the exchange rate. Tell ur government to reduce importation and watch the exchange rate drop which will also drop fuel prices
Na juju dey worry all this Nigerian regulators....😅😅😅Nigerians should let go of envy and bitterness and come together to kake our nation great. What affects Dangote refinery indirectly impacts on us all as a whole.

Shut up for the cement that give you so much in this country abd its still giving you alot money from this country this the price went up dueto the monoply
We cant forget what happened to ibeto cement if the local produced product cant compete with the foreign imported product why do we have to stop the foreign product we have to be competitive and market regulation that will better the live of every Nigerian, Nigerians deserve to build house with their salaries and also have a good live this nonse need to stop you shouldnt strip nigerians naked to protect Job
Please stop displaying your ignorance of the Ibeto matter,did Ibeto key into the government decisions to have to manufacture cement in Nigeria? And don't import cement to rebag? When I see comments like yours its more of an ethnic based comment more than one based on sincerity......it took Dangote 4years to complete the cement plant at Obajana, time which was enough for Ibeto to have known that cement rebaging was going obsolete soon which Dangote himself had participated in the past but decided to start manufacturing in Nigeria,just as he has done in crude refining. Why didn't Otedola not scream that Dangote was killing his petroleum import business? He at the commencement of the Dangote refinery bought into it and also diversify into electricity and other areas knowing that investment into import of refined products was coming to an end with the coming on stream of the Dangote refinery which is common sense. Ibeto made a bad business decision and it's as simple as that....Bua has built cement plant after Dangote did and lafarge is still producing cement as well,if Ibeto wants to he can if he really wants to.
@@agbadimusa9365 good reply but how much good did it brought to Nigerians that's the question? Cement was sold for 600 when the plantt started working the cement was sold to 1200 later the same year was sold 3200 per beg if you're economist wish one do you prefer fir your country leave the market open to compete an regurat the price making sure the price don't go up so it won't effect your citizens
The reason I mentioned ibeato was to remind you of the Effect not ethnic or what so ever what happen to importation of rice during the buhari time? Can you also answer the same question? You have to start thinking straight we are not fools in this country
@@agbadimusa9365 let's bet once everything is settle the fuel prices will never come down and excuses for hike in prices will continue in this country there will be dangote importation of pms will stop which is good but let's wait for the result in price of fuel you think there will be changes 🤣🤣 I believe from now to next two three years fuel will be sold 1200 per litre trust me
Africa and Africans need to show more love to each other and put their interest first ahead of others as every one normally do. Don't allow hurt one of yours to apeace the anglo Saxon Zionistt West who are in your affairs
Here are the 10 bullet points summarizing the key points about sulfur in fuel and its impact on the environment and human health: - Sulfur in fuel is a pollutant, but it's not the same as particulate matter (soot and fly ash). - Particulate matter consists of soot (black and combustible) and fly ash (gray and non-combustible). - Sulfur is more potentially dangerous due to its ability to form sulfuric acid and acid rain. - Sulfur dioxide reacts with water to form sulfuric acid, a major contributor to acid rain. - Acid rain can damage crops, buildings, and aquatic life. - Sulfur dioxide can also react with moisture in the lungs, causing respiratory problems. - Inhaling sulfur dioxide can lead to lung disease, bronchitis, and other health issues. - Sulfur emissions can also contribute to climate change and air pollution. - Reducing sulfur in fuel can help minimize these negative impacts on the environment and human health. - Using cleaner fuels and implementing emissions controls can help reduce sulfur emissions and mitigate these issues.
Both sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are harmful air pollutants, but their impacts differ. It's challenging to say which one is worse, as it depends on various factors, such as concentration levels, exposure duration, and individual health conditions. Here's a brief comparison: *Sulfur Dioxide (SO2):* - More corrosive and toxic - Can cause acid rain and damage crops, buildings, and aquatic life - Irritates the respiratory system, exacerbating conditions like asthma - Can react with moisture in the lungs, causing respiratory problems *Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2):* - More prevalent in urban areas due to vehicle emissions and industrial activities - Contributes to ground-level ozone formation and smog - Can exacerbate respiratory issues like asthma and bronchitis - May increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and lung cancer In general, NO2 is considered more harmful than SO2 due to its wider exposure and impact on ground-level ozone formation. However, both pollutants pose significant health risks, and reducing emissions of both SO2 and NO2 is crucial for improving air quality and public health.

I think Dangote needs to keep this up and own the narrative as to how they run their business, so these woe mongers don't keep spinning nonsense
What a country. Someone once suggested Nigeria should be converted to a poultry.
I don't understand why Dangote is sourcing crude oil outside while Nigeria is rich with oil. Shame on Nigerian government

Ask, and you shall receive.

One reason I think they didn't ask is because they didn't want to be compromised or owe "favors " down the line...😮

I am just wondering why it took this long for the government of President Tinubu to get in the know of what is happening in NNPC. If the president is truly in control of his government. He should call out those involved in this sabotage to explain to Nigerians the reasons for their actions
Are u sure the president is not indirectly involved in this importation support
Tinubu is a FBI sponsored former drug runner in the U.S. Do you expect him to act in any other way than as the criminal that he is?
As a consumer of petrol, I really want to know if Dangote petrol will bring down the price per litre.
Your vehicle will not need servicing all the time. Petrol will be pure.
Dangote does not set price of fuel. It is a general international price. The reason we think the price is high is the exchange rate. Tell ur government to reduce importation and watch the exchange rate drop which will also drop fuel prices
