Yesterday, Channels TV interviewed Dangote and asked why his cement and other locally produced goods are expensive. Here’s what he said:
“All the companies you know under me spend at least ₦95 billion every single month on diesel alone. The cement plant in Obajana alone consumes about 50 million litres of diesel every month. At the end of the year, our total diesel cost is over ₦1 trillion annually. That’s not a small amount that people can ignore. So the cost of our products, especially cement, has to be high because from production to distribution, we rely heavily on diesel.”
That was Dangote’s explanation.
Now think about it. A man spending over ₦1 trillion yearly just on diesel, not even counting maintenance, staff salaries, allowances, taxes, and other expenses. Do you even understand what ₦1 trillion means? 😒
For comparison, Jigawa State with a population of over 8.2 million has never had a ₦1 trillion budget till today.
With all this wealth, Dangote still has just his three daughters. May God protect us from poverty in this world and the hereafter. 👌
The guy speaking Yoruba in the background is probably calling a lady(maybe his partner) so she knows he is under Boko Haram attack, incase nobody hears from him again….

Justice Ugo Resigns, Citing Demands to 'Kneecap' Democracy, Says 'Siding with Tinubu' Would Mean 'The Death of Nigeria's Democracy
In a shocking and unprecedented move, Nigerian Justice Boloukuoromo M. Ugo has resigned from the bench, citing demands from the executive branch that he believes would destroy the country's democracy.
In a statement, Justice Ugo said that siding with the government on this matter would be the 'death of Nigeria's democracy', and that he could not in good conscience remain silent. His resignation has sent shockwaves through the country, and raised serious questions about the state of Nigeria's democratic institutions. According to Justice Ugo's statement, he was asked to 'cripple the independence of the judiciary' by ruling in favor of a certain political candidate, whom he did not name but is widely believed to be Bola Tinubu. In addition to this, he was asked to suppress evidence and dismiss cases that could have an impact on the election. Justice Ugo's resignation has caused a serious uproar and a set back to the activities of the Presidential Election Petition Court.
