2 refineries is still monopoly. What advantage does the three cement companies has over cement prices? Until we have 500 refineries don't expect any magic in price of fuel
even if we have one million refineries, crude oil price will still be major determinant of petrol prices

That is what many people don't understand. I don't even see the adjustment in rice by Dangote as a price war with anybody. Since crude prices have dropped by 4 dollars, it is only natural for the price of PMS to drop as well. Once crude prices and the exchange rate goes up, prices will be adjusted to suit the prevailing forces as well

There is no price war


There's no price war. Besides NNPC retail stations will still be selling cheaper.

There is no competition going on..I feel dangote is reducing price to so that those importing will be at a loss always ... It's a marketing strategy
That's still competition

My take is that I hope Dangote is not trying to force most marketers out of business and later increases the price as he likes. This was how he frustrated other cement manufacturer and marketers out of the cement business and now he's controlling the price of cement as he likes.

“NNPCL was the one dictating price for all the majors at that time because of public outcry and they used to buy, till Dangote came in. They also wanted to do the same thing with Dangote to fix the price but the arrangement didn’t work because Dangote wanted to sell to everyone. Its price was better and independent marketers could buy directly.
not surprised as to to the identity of the actual monopolistic lot. They labelled Dangote but price war has a way of leveling the playing field.

If you like have 1 billion oil refineries, the prices of petroleum products in Nigeria is determined by value naira which is also determined by the CBN and CBN is determined Aso Rock which in turn is determined by INEC.

Which loss, the same importing petrol between €1.7 to €2 from Belgium and demanding under-recovery cost from the federal government

We need more private refineries.

COMPAQ:
Newspapers just generate sensational headlines to sell papers and generate clicks for online ments.

There is no price war raging anywhere! So reducing price from N950 to N890 (N60), when crude prices had fallen back from $82 to $75 and Naira had appreciated from N1600 to N1480 is tantamount to price war abi?

The way we like to use 'crash' and 'price war' and all these big words for N50 decrease ehn!!!

You will see some headlines, 'naira tumbles in market'. Then you read the story and the naira just fell from 1590 to 1600!!!!
An average Nigerian operates by emotions which the political and media community utilizes effectively to maximize profits.

Let the price war continue, that's the only way we will get a cheaper fuel

Logical reasoning is rocket science for an average Nigerian

When you wake from your dreams, oil prices reduced in the international market with FG defending naira leading to naira appreciation with petrol importers receiving secret subsidy heavily.
ajepako(f): 9:20am On Feb 05
As long as the price is still higher than what most Nigerians can afford leading notable reduction in prices of essentials like food,

Then, this is bullshit!

Monopoly you mean?


Don't ever trust Dangote

Price of fuel will come down to 500
daveP(m): 10:09am On Feb 05
Dangote is playing the saint card and people will be happy cos it looks like he reps their interests, which isn't a lie.


These greedy marketers had all decade long to play this Dangote role but they're so myopic and greedy that all they reason about is fat pockets.


Nobody loves a monopolist. But if one of them had done this years ago, dangote will have stiffer competition today. But he just arrived the scene and is King already.

Do i really blame him? A little

The clowns called marketers don't think beyond their noses really.
