I've been saying "Dangote is a crook" for years on the Coli but people always fight me. I'm increasingly reaching the point where I believe that Nigerians deserve what's happening to them.

In a sense, the monopolist economics of Dangote and his ilk are a good thing. If basic commodities, such as rice, become too expensive - the people will revolt. The cost of course, will be borne by the masses but such is the way of the world. It is run by evil beings.

As I have gotten older, I am closer to this thinking.In a sense, the monopolist economics of Dangote and his ilk are a good thing.

I think the violence has to happen. Problem is people forget over generations and its a cycle.

Nigerians also have a short political memory (maybe it's due to the youth bulge), so politicians are able to get away with a lot - like being international heroin dealers (Tinubu) or being murderous dictators (Buhari).
As I said when I was in Lagos dude shut down the whole area when he was at the hotel I was staying at like he was the pop or president. He can probably getaway with anything in Nigeria
he more or less has been given monopolies by the government ......
hes never aligned himself to any party but hes "everybody's friend " .... pretty sure he has a lot of politicians in his pockets
in other words hes your typical capitalist billionaire
