Nigerians have taken to social media to call out billionaire Aliko Dangote for selling his bag of cement for N5200 while he sells N1500 in the Republic of Benin.
This is coming weeks after Billionaire Dangote Ignored Nigerians as he employed 11,000 Indians in his oil refinery.
A Twitter user identified has accused Dangote selling his bag of cement for N5200 in Nigeria despite the fact that the raw material is sourced locally in Nigeria.
According to the Twitter user, the billionaire should be held responsible for selling at a higher price in Nigeria but sells for N1500 in Seme, Benin Republic.
“Dangote cement is produced in Nigeria . The raw material is sourced locally in Nigeria at almost zero cost. Nothing is imported. Almost zero taxes yet the price of cement is 5,200 Naira in Nigeria and the same is sold in Seme, Benin Republic at 1,500 Naira.”, Twitter user said.
In a reaction, Nigerians have expressed their displeasure with the billionaire Aliko Dangote as they criticized him and called him all sorts of names like, very greedy man.
” It’s high time Nigerians realize that people like Dangote are a very big problem to us than we can ever imagine. Dangote is bleeding Nigerians and growing fat at our expense.”
” The investigation at CBN has shown how the former cbn governor has been selling billions of dollars to Dangote at a price way lower than the official rate, this is terrible.. It’s time Nigerian stand up to exploiters.”
” They monopolize the economy and country because of their proximity to power. Sadly, ignorant people will celebrate them as billionaires.”
” Forgetting that the field is rigged against ordinary Nigerians who should be equal competitors in the market. Zero respect for the so-called.”
“ Billionaires “ in Nigeria. Until we begin to ask poignant questions like this person did, we will continue to celebrate greedy billionaires who are equally the architects of the pain Nigerians are experiencing. I love capitalism but vulture capitalism built on greed is the killer of innovation and growth.
“Nigeria is one of the toughest countries to live in. You won’t know until you have a taste of other places . If the government wants the masses to get relief they know what to do. Will they ?”
“Dangote is the major person actually holding Nigeria to ransom. He benefits from the Nigeria system failure, the day this starts working normally in Nigeria like a sane country just as it is in Europe, Dangote will go broke.”
“The raw materials are gotten in Kogi State, the industry is in Kogi state , everything is produced in Kogi (Obajana to be precise ) . But Cement is costlier in Kogi than in the Core North (Like Kano kaduna and other Northern States)”
Dangote cement is produced in Nigeria . The raw material is sourced locally in Nigeria at almost zero cost. Nothing is imported. Almost zero taxes yet the price of cement is 5,200 Naira in Nigeria and same is sold in Seme, Benin Republic at 1,500 Naira. Sit & Explain to me.
