We started the refinery in 2013, and for five years we had issues with the land. Everything was being blocked by the oil mafia. We had to build our own port because no port in the country could handle the heavy equipment. 67,000 people worked to build the Dangote... refinery. ~ Aliko Dangote saysshow more

Most people see the refinery, but they don't see the 13 year war behind it. To build your own port and hire 67,000 people just to bypass sabotage is legendary resilience.👏🏽

whether you like him or not, that scale of coordination is hard to ignore

How many of you will agree with me that he is only the face of the company but not the only owner. Many top men are with him on this business but because they are in politics, they can't disclose either of their identity or made known their shares.

Shout MONOPOLY. Foolish people. A man who decided to risk it all, dedicating so many years to eventually come out with a working system is termed MONOPOLISTIC? As usual, we throw Our reasoning away when things like Religion, Tribe and political affiliations are involved. Smh

This is why when people speak of Dangote’s monopoly I laugh. Just watch and see the challenges he will face in building the 20,000MW power plant he’s planning. If the mafia and cabal were not benefitting from the downfall of Nigeria, we’d have more players in various industries.

Imagine blocking a project that created 67,000 jobs because some people profit from dependency and import scams. That tells you everything wrong with this country.

Dangote dropping real ones 🔥 Started in 2013. 5 years of oil mafia blocking the land. Had to build their own port. 67,000 people on the project. That’s what quiet empire building looks like. No excuses. Just pure persistence and self-reliance. Same energy for your own hustle: the obstacles will come, the mafia (haters, systems, doubters) will try to block you, but you build anyway. Stay consistent. Build your own port if you have to. The real bags are on the other side of the war 🏆💰 #BuildQuietly

Hmmm imagine that .

Five years of land wahala, still no stop the grind. Hustle dey loud.

Love him or hate him, he's a go-getter! A colossus!!

Billionaire talks 🥰

Dangote is not an innocent man. He’s also part of the cabal and the Nigerian mafia. Believe him at your own peril. Sweet liar.

Corrupt country

Dangote refinery is now supplying oil and doing well.

Dangote built this refinery against all odds.

“One man built a refinery, port and employed 67,000 people while government dey hold conference and share refreshments 😂💔”

So basically… a small matter turned into an Olympic-level construction project. You’ve got to respect the scale, though, even if the drama around it is another story entirely. #OmoOlofaIna

Dangote is a national asset

If a trillionaire can be this resilient and productive, how could someone with few millions in his accounts begin buying cars to seek social attentions. Money walks to the sensible ones.

67,000 Minds on PAYROLL for 5years running...... May @AlikoDangote SUCCEED ! May @DangoteGroup SUCCEED !! May NIGERIA 🇳🇬 SUCCEED !!!

A country fighting against its own development

Ok

The business mindset speaking

He literally faced alot of challenges before it could happen.

Vision is one thing, but persistence is what turns it into reality. Overcoming years of resistance to build a project of this scale shows what is possible when determination meets long-term thinking.

"Center of Excellence" for a reason.

Thumbs up 👍 But still can’t have a seaport in the southeast Centered country

Now Dangote has crushed the oil mafia. He is the sole mafia in the Nigeria oil industry.

Man. That's a lot of years.

@Osee___ @Ehidon12 those oil mafia be try 😅😂😂😂😂

And eventually it came through. That's commendable!

@AlikoDangote Can u explain why your own price is 12% higher than when petrol is being imported??????? Isn't it supposed to be cheaper??
