Don’t underestimate the power of fools in large numbers.

The above is a classic maxim that sounds like a cliché but it’s ever potent, and will remain potent forever.

The reason a character like Reno Omokri blocks people with the intellectual and rational capacity to question the trashes he consistently posts on X, is so he would be left with large flock of brainless followers who would swallow every bunkum he throws at them as true.

In keeping with the above, yesterday, he claimed that Dangote controls 21% of Lagos economy but yet he’s so humble but Igbos will always claim they built Lagos and are pompous.

I was not surprised to go through the comment section to see intellectual deficient minions praising what he wrote without questioning his submission to ascertain the truth value of that assertion.

Well, that’s what I’m here to do.

Let’s question what Reno Omokri said about Dangote controlling 21% of Lagos economy.

And the first question is, does Dangote control 21% of Lagos economy?

What drives the economy of a state or country? Is it large corporations or MSMEs?

Lagos is a city with a population of nearly 22million people. What percentage of this population does Dangote employ?

How much does Dangote pay in taxes to Lagos Government, and how much does Lagos Govt generate from markets like Alaba, ASPAMDA, Computer Village, etc?

If Dangote controls 21% of Lagos economy, what percentage of California’s economy does Apple and Google control since the two companies are both headquartered in California and they are both more valuable than Dangote by far?

What percentage of Texas’ economy does Tesla control since Tesla is headquartered in Texas and is equally more valuable than Dangote by far?

So, you see, a lot of foolishness sound like wisdom/knowledge to an unthinking mind but don’t let it deceive you.

What Reno Omokri said is absolute foolishness, falsehood and outright distortion of facts.

Lagos is not Lagos because of Dangote company or because of the large corporations headquartered therein.

If there’s any group that forms the engine room of Lagos economy, it’s the Medium, Micro and Small Scale Businesses. This category employs the highest number of Lagosians, and this category generates the most money for Lagos.

Large corporations do not build economies.

Infrastructure, as much as it adds to ease of doing business, does not build economy like some people claimed under Buhari.

So, next time, before you celebrate any trash from Reno Omokri, subject it through logical and rational dissection to know if the statement is truly reasonable.

Penguin is a bird of reason.

Who listens to Reno Omokri? The guy is just working hard to be noticed.

Some people just dont know when to stay away from a thread.

Alaba markets traders pay extremely little tax. They keep two bank s. You go to buy a TV, they give you a private to pay into. You go buy oraimo cord, they give you their business to pay into.

Large cooperation drives the economy of states and countries. This is common knowledge.

Front page worthy piece.

Indeed, Penguin is a bird of reason.

That was why we argued that the 2billion dollars nnpc used to by stake at dangote should have Been shared to msme s , that is the engine room that drives the economy, now what is the benefit of the nnpc state in dangote refinery to Nigerians, nnpc itself is a weapon fashioned against Nigeria, same people that said the sector has ben fully deregulated re saying that nnpc while determine the price of dangote pms, it’s unfortunate Nigeria is not designed for prosperity, or for hard working and sincere people to prosper, if you believe there is hope in Nigeria you rea big fool, never make same mistakes your parents and grand parents made.

The reason why some people are yet to get their breakthrough is because they are always wishing others bad luck. How would your wishes of bad luck come true when you are wishing others the same?

You are yet to answer the question raised.
Do Dangote really controls 21% of Lagos economy.?

Does she employ 21% of Lagos population.?

How much tax per annum does Dangote pays to the Lagos State Government.?

How much tax does the combined Markets of Alaba, Ladipo, Computer Village and her likes pays to the Lagos State Government..?

When you answer this questions truthfully, then you will know whether Ren o is lying or not.

Dangote doesn't even control 1% of Lagos GDP

Omokri is a lonely mad dog that is being pursued wherever it goes.

Reno is empty forget what you see or certificate. Maybe he does that for his stomach but there's a limit to falsehood.
I keep telling people, Reno Omokri browse to know because the need to know that has come, no pre-knowledge of critical issues

1. Is 21% majority? No! But you will it that 21% from just one person is very huge. Oga, think well before you write.

2. Infrastructure doesn't build economy but aids in doing business? You no think am well o. The economy of a place with very good roads where goods are easily transported from place to place will do better than a place where there are bad roads in which vehicles fall over thereby perishing the goods on their way. And by your standard, the good road(infrastructure) hasn't contributed to the economy of that place?

You have a good a command of English language. Your sentences and paragraphs connect well but you don't still make sense at all. It's only your likes you can bamboozle with grammar, not me. Wo, gbenue soun jorr!

Does this stop them from paying their taxes?

It appears some people are not happy with the success of Dangote.

Why are some people deliberately choosing to be petty about everything?

Gombe State, Northeast Nigeria, has one of the best road networks in Nigeria.

Abia State, Southeast Nigeria, until recently, had one of the worst road network in Nigeria.

Which of these two states is richer?

See riddle.

Most traders in that (aspamda, Alaba )market are tax evaders..Based on the advise Soludo gave your kinsmen in Lagos last year to be remitting their taxes to Anambra state , how many of them still pay to Lagos state government.

Penguin2:

Does this stop them from paying their taxes?

let us know the taxes they remit to Lagos state government that they don’t remit to their state of Origin as advised by Soludo.

Leave the werey make he dey cap nonsense.

“Large corporations do not build economies”.

Why are the Yeebos hellbent on building the economy of Lagos and other regions?

Why can’t they build their own economy at Onitsha and Abakaliki?

Do their charity have to begin in Lagos and other people’s region?

An animal up there is asking who listens to Reno Omokri, and the answer is - Every sane & patriotic Nigerian listens to Reno because ALL HIS ASSERTIONS & ARGUMENTS are backed by verifiable proof; Unlike your people who get their instructions directly from Simon Ekpa from Finland .

That is why your parents hide under their beds every MONDAY in your region while other productive people like Dangote keep transforming economies & writing their names in gold.

That Reno Omokri statistics about Dangote controlling 21% of Lagos Economy really pain them, no be small.

Thank you for this insightful analysis.

This is a very dumb submission,a very lame attempt to prove Reno wrong !

Thank you for this insightful analysis.

You found this post insightful? Chai 🤣

You ended up saying nothing, I was expecting you to bring out both figures to compare , the taxes generated from all the controlled igbos markets compared to Dangote’s tax but you just ended up perambulating about the bush .

Dangote & China that’s building massive infrastructure never bragged about building Lagos but people who control lesser businesses brag about it please close this thread if you don’t have facts.

No need of schooling those irredeemable educated fools. Tribalism can make an educated man vituperate absolute nonsense

Basic elementary economics.

Ask him to bring a side be side figure to compare.

Another educated illiterate. We are talking about Dangote who said that he bought the land upon which he has built his refinery at the price of one hundred million dollars and not Naira from Lagos State. Peguin2 abeg make you reason am from there.

Dear op, na you get time to educate the educated illiterates, simply ask them why Ogun state with a lot of companies is not more develop than my Ihiala L. G. A in Anambra state?

See how they are opening threads and crying over what Reno said

Dangote is more important than you, your parents, your ancestors and generations yet unborn. Choke on it.

Baseless question!
Why not relocate alaba to anambra and go pay ur taxes there to develop the place? Abi una charity doesn't begin at home?

Na everything about una dey always get k-leg.
All tribes are in lagos but na only una dey always get problem everywhere una step foot on.

Thank God dangote is not Ipób or else una go say una must govern lagos by fire by force bcus of d refinery.

Dangote actually only contributes 0.0005% to the Lagos economy. It's the Alaba and computer village traders from SE that contribute 95% of Lagos economy.

OP is unintelligent. He wants to assert that Igbo traders contribute more to Lagos economy than do the big corporations. Ask the werey wetin government dey benefit now, he'll say tax. Ask which tax, he'll say VAT they charge when he buys recharge card and maybe food for eatries.
All the money they make too, it doesn't stay Lagos, they take everything home by December... All they majorly do is collect from Lagos and give very much less in return.

Oya wetin gangan government dey generate from your trade? Ah na dem develop Lagos o, with fake chargers, fake tires fake engines, fake phones with fufu inside, adulterated TV stations... Awon oponu afofungbemu

DANGOTE PRODUCES PRODUCTS, CEMENT, FERTILIZERS, RICE, SPAGHETTI, MACARONI ETC ETC.
APPLE, GOOGLE, TESLA ETC PRODUCE NO PRODUCTS BUT SERVICES.

Large cooperation drives the economy of states and countries. This is common knowledge.

Large corporations have tax experts on standby who help them pay the least available taxes. They will usually claim tax refunds and stuff.

The biggest payers of taxes anywhere in the world are the small and medium scale.

How many times agbero don stop Dangote truck? But you see that small business with a truck or two getting taxed at multiple points by agbero at different times a day.

These things are common knowledge and we all know that but once there's an agenda, everyone claims amnesia.

It's same thing as saying that subsidy benefits the poor,na lie. Rich man with his numerous V8 engines and escort vehicles enjoying subsidy the most
