Dangote conquered cement.
Built Africa's largest refinery.
Now he's trying to revive an industry Nigeria lost decades ago: automobile manufacturing.
Peugeot once ruled Nigerian roads. Today, most cars on our roads are imported.
If Nigeria can produce its own cement, refine its own fuel, and manufacture its own vehicles, the economic impact would be massive.
Industrialization is how nations get rich.
@sowore@YouTube At this point, if I have opportunity 2 vote, I will rather give my 1 vote 2 Sowore, at least 2 make a difference. We can't keep recycling same old fulls...
A minimum wage of ₦500,000 is not too much for Nigerian workers. Police officers, soldiers, teachers, doctors, nurses, and other public servants deserve a living wage and those in critical sectors must earn additional allowances for the risks, sacrifices, and essential services they provide.
1. My son, currently in 400 Level Medicine and Surgery scored 333 in JAMB but his name did not even APPEAR on the Admission List. I was later told by the Institution that, my son could be offered Micro Biology. I told the Registrar of the institution POINT BLANK that, "I have spent HUGELY (Several Millions of Naira) to get my Son to this Point of Entry (PoE) to become a Medical Doctor and not to become a Biology Teacher through her offer of Micro Biology. This Registrar was so MEAN. She simply told me, we are very sorry, Micro Biology is the BEST we can OFFER your son.
2. At this Juncture, I proceeded to JAMB Headquarters, Abuja to meet with Prof. Oloyede who swiftly asked for my son's JAMB details, punched these details into his laptop and everything concerning the university came up on his screen.
3. Prof. Oloyede said and I quote: "Dr. Muyiwa Kayode, please go back home and sleep with your two eyes closed. From what I am seeing on my screen, your son is No.3 on the List of Medicine and Surgery of this institution with a JAMB SCORE of 333 which comes behind two other JAMB scores of 348 & 334 respectively. Unfortunately, none of these chaps, including your Son (i.e JAMB Score 348, 334 and 333) made the Admission List"
4. Prof. Oloyede continued and I quote: "Dr. Muyiwa Kayode, in SANE countries, this Institution should have sent the College Driver with an official vehicle to go and fetch your son from Ekiti to campus having projected himself into the MERIT LIST of this Institution but unfortunately, the endemic corruption in these institutions will just not allow them to follow Due Process"
5. Right in my presence, Prof. Oloyede put a call through to the Vice Chancellor of this Institution, setting his phone on speaker and spoke angrily at the Vice Chancellor, lamenting on the endemic corruption under his nose as it concerns university admission. This Vice Chancellor apologized to Prof. Oloyede saying what has just happened must have been an ERROR of OVERSIGHT on the part of his Management Team & promised Prof. Oloyede that he will personally ensure the Error of Oversight is corrected.
6. Within 24 hrs of that conversation between Prof. Oloyede and the Vice Chancellor, my son checked the university's Admission Portal and discovered his name has been INCLUDED as Number Three on the admission list while the names of the other chaps that scored 348 & 334 also appeared on the admission list as Number One and Number Two respectively.
7. The good news in all of these is that, my son that would have been CRIMINALLY denied admission ab-initio now TOPS his class with a G.P.A of 4.85
This is neither Federal nor State government doing... Every sector of the economy in Nigeria is corrupt.

Let me give you the full Dangote-East Africa Refinery picture because it is bigger than one refinery in one country.
Dangote’s Lagos refinery is already exporting 1.1 billion litres of aviation fuel to Europe while South Africa has positioned Nigeria as its primary source of refined petroleum imports. One Nigerian private refinery is supplying a continent and competing with Europe simultaneously.
Now he is expanding. Dangote has committed to building a Nigeria-scale refinery in East Africa processing 650,000 barrels per day, mirroring the Lagos model exactly, with a four to five year delivery window. With Same size and capacity.
Dangote has announced plans to list 10% of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery in a $40 billion multi-exchange IPO across multiple African stock exchanges, funding a $40 billion expansion over five years under his Vision 2030 strategy targeting $100 billion in group revenue.
The expansion plans include doubling refinery capacity from 650,000 to 1.5 million barrels per day, quadrupling urea fertiliser production, copper refining in Zambia, and building storage tanks across southern Africa.
One man. No government help. No oil bloc allocation. No NNPC partnership. Building the energy infrastructure of an entire continent from private capital while African governments export raw materials and import finished products at a premium.
Dangote himself said it plainly. By exporting raw materials and importing finished products, Africa is further impoverishing its 1.4 billion people. He is not just talking about it because he is personally reversing it.
The Nigerian government had oil revenue for 66 years and built nothing that lasted. Dangote has one lifetime and is industrialising a continent.
Omo the contrast does not need commentary.
