GEJ, as stupid and weak as you appear at times, I have to give you credit. Your policies are working, they are vrry slow to take effect, but you have (2014-1960) years of corruption to deal with which can be a road block. That said, the incentive created that led to this investment is the best thing since slice bread. Foods that created in Nigeria should not be imported into Nigeria. Lets put Hunts tomato out of business and started making our tomato sauce and paste and start exporting it. The car exportation incentive is another good one. I just think you need your cabinet to start taking this action seriously. Those 54 cars that silly oduah imported could have been bought from the Nigeria motor manufacturer. Create competitiveness and make Nigeria capitalism one to reckon with. And please dont fire stella because she is hard working and has a vision, just tell her to curb her greed. Its ruining her good work and yours too.

Ok ooo we don hear

OK, GOOD. HOPE HE INVESTS IN QUALITY RICE THIS TIME AROUND. HIS PASTA PRODUCTS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY OF POOR QUALITY...TOO STARCHY WHICH MKS IT TURNOUT STICKY AND MUSHY IF NOT WATCHED.

Unknown said...

Great move!

Unknown said...

U re a big fool akinwunmi for saying we should attribute this to positive policies of president Jonathan.what has he done?

MO said...

Mr akinwunmi adesina,shame on you and your government.shouldn't that come from our government rather than this fantastic forward thinking singular man.

As heavy as the government is in terms of man power not to talk of how much you are all costing the Nigerian citizens in terms of salaries,allowances etc etc,wouldn't it have been more appropriate if just one of you thought of this.?!

Anonymous said...

And the government of the most populous country in Africa didn't think to think about this.#hiss

Unknown said...

He's like buying into every sector of the economy. I hope this man won't invest in 'suya' one day!!!

Unknown said...

Nice..but it'll be perfect if the rice is of very good quality and affordable.

Jollof rice for all man. #bless

abeg aliko should park well this free windfall he enjoys in nigeria. and calls himself the richest man. i was listening to the news and heard we lost 130 trillion last year to waivers and its all because of people like him. so if he wants to payback with these its just peanuts and he will make more in the end anyway.

Dangote is simply a wise investor cos judging from the projections of Nigeria right now,Nigeria is the destination for investors.This is great for our economy and Nigerians in general.You may not feel the impact right now but trust me,our economy is about to be catapulted!

Anonymous said...

Wen there's systemic failure what do u expect, he has so many bright ideas,using his money to achieve them and our very own "Prof" from only God knows which University cannot put on his thinking cap and utilise it. If this man wants to rule Nigeria for a million years I will vote for him till I die. Linda if u like nor post my comment o, chop am, use am do oha soup. U and Johnatan na d rope tie una, Ewu mandu, mtcheeeeewwwwwwwwww.

Fried rice,jollof rice,rice and stew,tuwo chinkafa,kunun chinkafa..we go eat una tire..at least hunger go reduce and we won't import rice again..God bless you

You should be thankful instead of complaining. Its a free market, invest your money into something that you can monopolize (at least for a while) and make more money too. Nigerians love rice, better yet Africans love Rice and chinese people too. Only time you should complain is if the price for a bag of rice is higher than you used to buy it, but im sure Dangote isnt stupid, he wouldn't make his rice more expensive.

I just love dis aliko guy, always looking calm nd calculated. He's such a plus 2 d nig economy. May God continue 2 enlarge ur coast sir....

This is a good man, from experience I have worked for him twice in different capacity, both in ikeja and in ikorodu, if we have Another 9 of his type most of nigerian youth will be employed. At the moment if he decided to close all his factory, do u know the numbers of families that will suffer both directly and indirectly.
Keep it up jare #dangote.

Nigerians we r so ignorant, dangote is d major rice dealer in nigeria. So who r dey fooling. He shld just say he want 2 reduce d price of rice,gbam.

Nigerians, all they know is to tear down and not build up. One man is creating jobs and building industries that doesnt exist in Nigeria, you want to give him a Rockefeller blow? Where's your investment? Im just asking. I haven't seen a Justice Team movement, group or ltd any where. What jobs are you creating? What exactly have you mass produced to claim monopoly on? Just asking sensible questions that you ought to be asking instead of demonizing someone else's. Just saying.

Diary of Dido said...

I'm truly unaware of the propagation of agricultural policies by Jonathan's camp but, if this is true and if indeed they seek to implement these policies as being declared, then I have to say a big 'Kudos' to them all.
Agriculture is truly going to be the next phase for Nigeria if properly and patiently harnessed.
Enough with the greed and clamour for the oil wealth of the nation, let us go back to what our forefathers as well as countryside natives have depended on from time immemorial; farming; only, let farming become industrial and better packaged as against the manually tasking and health deteriorating one that has been the norm- which has been the reason many see it as unappealing.

justice team Or wetin call, what do you want the house to look into? That other Nigerians (mainly politicians and govt workers) choose to steal and keep their loot abroad. Try to produce anything in Nigeria then you ll know Dangote is a man with more balls than the rest of population
