- Nigeria is Africa's top oil producer, yet it's in the middle of a fuel crisis. The missing link: oil refineries. To address this massive disconnect, billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote is building an oil refinery right outside Lagos.
Finish your damn titles
Mason Sauers its meant to draw intrigue so you click.....it worked
No it's finished. The African man is building one of the world.
Stacy J clicking the dislike button also worked.
Mason Sauers
I agree. I disliked it for the very reason. 😒😑
Mason Sauers its a form of clickbait
0:32 oh an african dude speaking - let's add some tribal bongo rhythms in the background!!
Lololol 😂
Omg lol
lol....you killed me yhooo...
There is nothing wrong with that
lmao
If you think that is disturbing, we here in Australia have the exact same problem now. We produce enough oil and natural gas to be over 90% Self Sufficient in all of our energy needs and our stupid and crooked government and oil companies have now closed All of our refineries, export All of our oil and gas and then import every single drop back at an enormous cost to our people. We’re supposed to be an advanced country and we let these thieves do this to us. It is now so bad that we can’t even control our electricity supplies enough to be stable that we had to turn to Elon Musk to supply us with the worlds biggest solar battery array to stabilise the South Australian electricity supply so that in summer we don’t have continuous rolling blackouts. On top of that we’ve recently been told that our natural gas exports are so high that even buying it back from overseas the government cannot guarantee that we will have enough to meet our domestic demands and are unable to force the companies taking our resources to even give us enough for our own needs. I note that the americans don’t make this a big news story. Could it be that they are making america great again by their massive multinational oil companies getting in bed with the governments to rape our country of all of its natural resources? At least someone in Africa is trying to turn it around for them. We are faced with an Indian power company wanting our government to lend them 4 Billion dollars of our money so they can dig up Queensland to create the biggest coal mine ever in the country, risking permanent destruction of the Great Barrier Reef with the outflow from the mine, so that they can take the coal to India to power a whole bunch of new coal burning power stations. Doesn’t look like we can stop the Adani coal mine going ahead or ever get our oil and gas back from Shell and the like. More power to the Africans, get your country back from them before they control you like they do us.
Let Nigerians to be called among the rich . good work guys love from an Indian
Congratulations to Nigeria for finally gaining some momentum. Better late than never.
Lets just keep our fingers crossed that America or the EU don't attack Nigeria.
Yeah, like our brother Gadaffi!
Oliver Thompson Jr.
Yes Gadaffi was a upright man. Its a shame his people couldn't or didn't protect him.
His people and all over Africa and Arabia loved the man, White Supremacy killed him! 580player
thomas sonkara was the UPRIGHT MAN,,,
ghadddi supported terrorism he was a clown,,sleeipng in a TENT IN NEW YORK un meeting,,
We need more men like him in the continent. I'm from South Africa but i wouldn't mind to go to a party and contribute to the success of this incredible piece of art.
Big up to Aliko.
here we come Africa, Awake Africa go Africa go high, the journey of development start with one step and that is what we are seeing today
Congratulations
HAHAHAAHA yeah keep beeing positive...I envy your optimism dude :-)
Nigeria's the richest country in Africa..what does south Africa have again?
Thabo Sethipa Nigerians are running to South Africa? Lol please don’t exaggerate most Nigerians would rather stay in Nigeria. South Africa does nothing for Nigeria. Nigeria is working on massive projects across the country(Eko Atlantic) that will serve to make the nation the hub of commerce in Africa. I don’t see much coming from South Africa.
Thabo Sethipa, You must be a fool for comparing South Africa which is governed and owned by the white to Nigeria. South Africa is a white man's country and all infrastructure placed on ground is from the white. Go and trace where u came from if u are one of those black xenophobic people claiming to be South African. You should be proud of NIGERIA, a country with over 200 million people and originally Black Nation with such development at hand. One more time go and trace your root the white people own S.A
Thabo Sethipa, You must be Dis-informed...lol. NIGERIA and S.A who helped each other during the time....
Below are 13 ways Nigeria helped South Africa in their struggle against Aparthied in case they seem to have forgotten;
1.) Nigeria set up the National Committee Against Apartheid (NACAP) in 1960.
2.) The late Sunny Okosun composed a song called “Fire in Soweto” in 1977 to show support for the fight against apartheid
3.) From 1966, Nigeria gave material and financial support to the freedom fighters in South Africa
4.) Then Nigeria’s Prime Minister, Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa sent letter to South Africa’s ANC militants on April 4, 1961 showing support for their cause.

5.) Nigeria provided $5 million to the ANC and the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) annually.
6.) In 1976, Nigeria set up the Southern Africa Relief Fund (SAFR) for the purpose of bringing relief materials to the victims of the apartheid
7.) The military administration of General Obasanjo contributed $3.7 million to the fund and Obasanjo personally donated $3,000 to the fund.
8.) All Nigeria’s civil servants and public officers made a 2% donation from their monthly salary to the SAFR.
9.) Nigerian students skipped their lunch to make donations, and by June 1977, the total contribution to the fund had reached $10.5 million. The donations to the SAFR were widely known in Nigeria as the “Mandela tax”
10.) Between 1973 and 1978, Nigeria contributed $39,040 to the UN Educational and Training Programme for South Africa
11.) Nigeria boycotted the 1976 Olympics and Commonwealth games in 1979 as part of our protest against apartheid in South Africa
12.) From 1960 to 1995, Nigeria spent over $61 billion to support the end of apartheid, more than any other country in the world.
13.) Nigeria refused to sell oil to South Africa in protest against the white minority rule. Nigeria lost approximately $41 billion then. $41billion dollars. Remember this was our oil boom moment. As long as we fought apartheid, the money meant nothing.
I am Somalian and I am really happy for Nigeria to have such a man who puts the interest of his nation first and still the richest man in the continent. God bless your country and the countries who are in the process of growth. Aamin
Soon ull be attacking the oilers from Nigeria every day my dear pirate-friend!
Mø Nälayé
It looks like it. He is no different than those who think all Australians ride kangaroos to school.

What a wonderful thing to say to a fellow country. May Somalia rise beyond all limits. Peace

Maashaallaah Allah or God bless this man as African Ethiopian I am proud of him he have cement company in ethiopia
Since the last time ive been to South Africa, Nigeria its quite astounding to see the potential for business in African countries. If it wasnt for internal conflict, corrupt politics theres huge amounts of potential in africa. Just like China came up and now India knocking on the doors of the big boys countires like Nigeria definitely can join the worlds wealthiest if they solve their inner problems and go according to a plan
You are correct.
Finally someone who understands..
their construction skills don't seem very good...I hope that shit doesnt blow up...
The only problem with your statement is that Nigeria is NOT in South Africa. Nigeria is in WEST AFRICA!
Pretty much same for the whole continent wouldn't you agree?
We need more people like Dangote in Africa.
You do realize he's part of the economical problem in terms of distribution of wealth in the country.
Thabo Sethipa White people built your infrastructures in south Africa js
Thabo Sethipa why are south Africans so xenophobic towards others? Just Curious... seems like you have allot of hatred towards other Africans. What's your point here?
we need him in canada,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Daniel Wabuge on point
I love seeing black people nations being successful.
Mr Aliko you are amazing, Africa loves you
Good Stuff. Huge opportunities everywhere in Nigeria.
Nigerians are doing great in america too. They must be doing something right
Africa Unites for the benefit of your people ( Bob Marley)
I wish i could like this a 100 times
"Nigeria exports crude and imports refined oil? That's crazy!"
Australia does that with metal mining products as well
Nigeria is the next UAE. I hope they don't become rich untill i finish college. Definitely a place to keep an eye on.
I will continue to pray that the universe keep Mr Aliko healthy focus as a black man I'm prouder and I hope that you inspire more black to work towards being a true independent nation . may blessings and peace be always in your paths
A bunch of keyboard experts in the comments section think they know something the Dangote management don't.
well...looking at their equipment, workers, CEOs etc..yeha..I think I know more than them.
And what do you know that trained workers and professionals don't?
Normally experts in these fields would be using keyboards day to day , so what's your point ?
Benendes C 99% of the people in the comments don’t know anything about construction
Exactly
Nigeria the next Dubai!!!
xDDDDDDDDD
Ha
I am so proud of you Nigeria. Our ancestors would be smiling😊
I would love to see an update to this video. It is a couple of years old and I am curious to know if it is finished or if it is still on track to finish on time. Also, what impact will that have on Nigeria?
thank you ogah ... and a very big slap on our federal govt.. for what they couldn't do
alexander sanchez don't mind them thieves; all we hear from them political leaders is promising, promising and promising while their hands is perpetrating hiding nigeria money and creating poverty and hardship.
It's going to make him very very rich though
same to my country
Hopefully this show the people that if they take action they can change their lives don't wait on politicians
Now they just have to work on the electrical grid.
so he is building the... world?
Hahahaha!
This is fantastic. I genuinely hope there isn’t any outside money funding this, to have their own fully owned and internally operating refinery will be huge
I was reading the comments and found out that many people think like fish
so you mean they dont think? :D
Nearly finished! Yes
wont open til late 2019
Izar Schärf we hope so
Lil DTA not yes bad very bad t
Already over a year and a half over-schedule. Budget is likely through the roof. Chances of the whole operation being sold to Chinese or Russian interests before it even opens is 90% or more.
djhenyo say what u know enemies of progress
Congratulations Mr Dangote, keep inspiring Africans.
that's awesome, great way to say fuck you to the big fuel companies
"Nigeria exports crude and imports refined oil? That's crazy!"
No, that's comparative advantage and international division of labour.
FreeGoro Really?
Not when Nigeria's unemployment rate is terribly high.
Its exploitation
FreeGoro No it's NOT. As a Nigerian I can tell you it's crazy
ICEYPRISON do the world a favour and dont comment again.
this is a good step for Nigeria
Nigeria's economy is now bigger than south Africa and Egypt. With project like this the country will become more self reliant. Way to go Nigeria!!
Wow that will help Africa as a whole God bless you Mr Dangote
Make sure you keep Shell out of this, they have only brought misery to Nigeria!!
Look at that beautiful beach, I hope its not ruined. Its about time Africans get it right. Long overdue, but never late.
o
MegaEli1971 So a beach is more important than oil for economy boost. Remember tourism will not bring more money to the Economy more than a oil refinery, with tourism comes the problem of security and you know Nigeria is not a safe Country. The security no factor in Nigeria, our cops are undertrained etc. Oil refinery is far better than keeping a beach safe for tourists in my humble opinion.
OG well you said it... in your opinion.. mines different..
Hi Sir Dangote, i wish you all the best. Kindly, you are very humble, yet, the most affluent man on the African continent. Am a single dad with a daughter who's bright and in campus. But life is too hard for her and me. Stresses of her well-being are killing me so to speak. Please Sir, assist my daughter and i. Thanks and good health to your entire family.
Excellent! I wish them success and good fortune. It's about time the Arabs have competition.
If Alhaji Dangote could build such an empire for himself and employing Nigerians, with his cement factory, JUST WATCH WHAT THIS GREAT SON OF NIGERIA WOULD DO FOR NIGERIA AND NIGERIANS. To me, this man would make a very good President because, he is a man of the people. Well done to you and God bless you!
no my sister politics is too dirty, let him just continue to create jobs for africans
no my sister politics is too dirty, let him just continue to create jobs for africans
To me, Alhaji Dangote does not look like a man, that is led astray like a ship so yes, he has the abilities, to make a good Nigerian President. This is my opinion because; I watch all about Nigeria from afar.
Good business men are not necessarily good politicians. Good to know you watch all about Nigeria from afar.
this shows why Africa has so many coups..if this is your "perfect" President....
The clickbait is real
Fr
Six years back, and today, it becomes a reality.
Also Africa has to export it's oranges to Switzerland for them to get charged double the price for pressing orange juice.
Let's encourage Nigerians & foreign investors to do same
foreign investors only want raw materials
If and only the foreign investor is a black man and not from USA
Bin Boy black americans are africans, and they have a natural connection to the continent
Ndoli Sabi No we don’t, Black Americans look way different than Africans. We have 20% white blood in us. If anything, we’re honestly mix while you Africans aren’t. It’s the same for white Americans. Pretty much every American has mix blood in them. Nobody pure in America. You worry about your country and we worry about ours. Simple as that.
This whole process would be simpler if we simply built solar panels. Instead of having one rich man investing money in order to make more money with a little bit for the employees
Solar panels Won't give u petroleum products tho...
chris maloney but they will give you energy. which is what nations with people living n them need.
chris maloney petroleum products like what? plastic chinese toys? Nigeria needs food, preventive medicine, and protective sex measures. not plastic bins and dildos.
Dude, you have no idea how many things are made from petroleum..... www.ranken-energy.com/products%20from%20petroleum.htm
C. Lincoln nevertheless, you still did not address my original complaint being that, Oil is not what aFrica needs certainly not to charge money for it
The owner of this pipeline, can make the world a better palce but he simply chooses to squander any and all potential for that so eh can make some money in 7 years time. This is why no body ever beleives a rich man can be genuinely altruistic, because they do everything for themselves.
Like if you got 12 Billion dollars to open up an oil pipeline you got connections enough to provide free food worldwide, but ohh no , thats too hard. Feed humanity PFfft. why od that when we can have them do back breaking work.
fucking slave owners.
that list isn't shit if you dont have people to use those items by the way.
but it was an eye opener, thank you for posting it.
Good job Dangote Group, i hope Nigerians will utilize this opportunity you are giving and i am quite sure this will bring down the rate of Unemployed youth.
Great move from your Ethiopian brother
I hope and pray the west don't take him out like Gadhafi. this man is a threat to their interest.
John Dough Imam Obama and the socialist communist collaborators in the "Democratic" party are a threat to USA.
STATS DONT LIE
You can prove that?
ScarletDespair he is just building a refinery which will take some oil off the market which will raise the cost of oil by a small %.
If dangote don't do this' nobody will do it for Africa, because his's Africa richest man, and his duty to help his people
Nigeria should be the America and Dubai or Africa if it was not for their selfish leaders.
am getting tired of this type of shit comment, who the fuck are they leading other than Nigerians that allow them to lead them. They elected them did they not?
That's a very harsh and inconsiderate comment to make if you do not know the state of elections in that region. Maybe you should do more research before damming someone who is only stating their point of view. Elections in Nigeria (and some other Nations in the world) are not as simple and diplomatic as Western countries like the United States of America. Just saying.
Lashawnda Sneed am Nigerian and yes i do know how shit is there. Again people allow these things. You telling me that buhari should really be a president. A fucking military dictator, the whole country should be trying to block people like him from taking office again but did that happen?
ekelo ekete Nigeria recently got it's independence in the 60's. The country has a long way to go in creating a system that benefits the people. Buhari should not be President or any militant for that matter, but until the country establishes an effective check in balance system by default the man with the money and the military will lead. It's not the fault of the people. The system is failing the Nigerian people. Until Nigeria gets a strong diplomatic leader who can unit all of the ethnic groups in harmony nothing will change. I pray for Nigeria's welfare and success because the success of African or Black Nations are a tremendous win for all Blacks all over the world. I am African American and even as a child I never understood what was holding African Nations back from competing globally. I now have a better understanding, the people want change, Nigeria needs a strong and influential leader. Dangote would be a great candidate but the man is already doing so much. I have faith in Nigeria despite all the odds against the Nation.
Wow one of the smartest AA's ever
i dont know how he is doing it but i'm soooo proud of Mr. Aliko Dangote
Thank you. The biggest boss
imagine millions of adircan americans fleeing the states to go to africa
PreciousMetalinvest one day!! Lol!
That's not possible, most black people in america don't even have the income to travel to other states. Another country is implausible at this point.
ScarletDespair You're a loser now and will continue to be one even if all black people and Mexicans left today.
American collapse is nearing
It would be a dream come true for whites !
Renewable energy should've been your first choice. It is much less expensive in the long run, and it won't destroy the environment.
That's fine but the point is that the oil is already going to be and inevitably will be extracted, except currently it is being exploited for the benefit of other countries. This project just allows Nigeria to gain more benefit out of its own resources than other countries.
1 step at a time they too will get to renewable resources
Renewable energy will not be less expensive and wide spread in your life time and Dangote’s lifetime
This is a step in the right direction. Alas! Thank you sir.
this title made it sound like a rich man is building a planet identical to another planet.
Largest Oil Refinery in the world, and more are being constructed.
This grateful man can be the rescuer and leader off black people all over the world.
The curse from the bible continues going on,black people must go in peace with jah(jesus)
Black people are suffering day by day in united states off america.
Bring the god chosen people back to their home lands in africa.
Build a new black nation in africa,like the european calling jews did with our holy land israel
Together we can start a new big strong welfare nation,like the ancient egypt,israel,and rest off those
Big black nations.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
right about everything except "bible course". it's made-up story, don't believe it
Yes,.... Let's get all the poor needy, unappreciated blacks back to their home..... They have suffered for way to long let's send every single one back home to Africa !........
Congratulations to Nigeria only investment can boost the economy.
I hope America don"t come and bomb the facility once its completed !
Asé!!!✊🏿
That doesn't solve the problem though, he should build a factory or hub for electric vehicles to help the country.
Aliko Dangote seems to be bringing lots of value in Nigeria
Hopefully this will give some jobs and prevent illegal refineries that dump into the water.
why the hell is nigeria only doing this now ?? .. GZZ people
Because corrupt politicians pocketed all the money allocated to funding the federal refineries Nigeria had.
Johnny No o
luis suarez stupid stupid stupid question. Very very very stupid!
dipojones Get rid of statism, politicians are corupted becouse socialist system give them opportunity.
i just hope he is not being used as a puppet to fulfill the European/western needs
Calm down your tits.
Christopher Khumalo you mean China lmfao
European/Western don't like the project cos he's going to checkmate them soon.
@@KeithsReviews 😂😂😂 i dont know why im only seeing this reply now😂😂
@@ceaserparanoid im now coming to that understanding
DANGOTE he's also in Tanzania he supply cements... this people are reach but they don't fight for the others or poverty in their country cos they has power to do so many thing and even to educate the Government...
Imagine an African nation improving their own lives instead waiting for the world to do it for them...
And then all of a sudden Africa fail to comply with nuclear weapon agreements and America have to intervene....
I'm genuinly happy for Nigeria.
Yes it's time to go back home to develop and invest. I have invested enough in the western world.
That's what I'm going to do
Hopefully
Heard they will soon be adding electricity and running water.
Good for them. I hope it does well!!
Finally AFRICA is doing something
Hope he is not banking solely on the oil in Niger Delta land. They might not stop blowing things up if care is not taken. He better consult them before hoping on oil in their lands. I don't think Nigerians hate Dangote though, he is a humble man who represents his country well.
look at the polluted water already being pumped out to that beautiful beach
nobody cares
That's odd, no one thought of it that way while the whites were DOING THE SAME for centuries! ....but think of the brighter side! ...They're not selling CRACK! ...or is that YOUR problem!
TheThirdEye20 well you know things get pumped out to the ocean but normally not beside a beautiful beach where people swim, it makes that area kinda polluted
THEY GOT NO BEACHES IN NIJA,.,.WAKE UP..
Bruv...they are just reclaiming some parts of the shoreline!
finally the black man using its brains
you are ignorant fools dangote was a very smart man for a very long time and has finished university. And there are many more smart rich africans the reason africa don't develop that fast is that the politicians are extremly corrupt
Stress on "extremely". Dunno why. The charismatic are corrupt, and they always wiggle their way into politics.
Nigeria has 3 state-owned refineries built in the 70s. They are not operating at full capacity and unable to meet local demand due to massive corruption.
Thabo Sethipa I hear you guys are killing all your white farmers and thinking about repossessing w/o compensation. Your shit is about to turn into zimbabwe. Don't think about immigrating to other african countries you proudly shit on when it all blows up in your face and foriegn investors flee
@Thabo Sethipa south africa dont have such a huge refinery like this! Nigeria refinery is the world largest refinery.. i also see eko atlantic which means in 2025 nigeria might be the most develop country in africa. Investors will flee south africa to lagos because of its development
I wanna see Africa rise 2020 Africa is open for business
That man is all about building up his nation to be self sufficient congratulation to all the crew members that making it possible
I like how they cut out what they are building in the title for some clickbate
Africa: *Exists*
US: I hear ya got "terrorism problems"
after he complete this im sure hes gonna buy Arsenal❤️
Now America has to... um... FREE! thats right, FREE Africa and bring them Freedom
I congratulate Dangote for his good work, may almighty God sustain him
wow beautiful work
The reason Nigeria doesnt have refineries is corruption. Africa's richest man and other benefit from imported goods. You see their are people in Nigeria called oil marketers. They buy unrefined oil, refine it and sell it back to Nigerians at high prices!
Jake Wish Nigeria has three refineries they may not be functioning to capacity but that doesn’t mean they don’t have.
Good to see African counties building infrastructure, gives hope to them nations
PS - and we buy oil from the middle east??? - I wonder who is behind that one - we should be using our own resources.
It would be much wiser, if he build *a solar panel factory in Nigeria,* sold the electric scooters to the population in masses, and made more profit. The world is turning away from Petroleum. He made a bet against the rest of the world.
Wait until the developing nations pollute and use the oil power to get to a level where their citizens would be very comfortable like yours, then they can think about renewable energy. We can not think of renewable energy when out people are in poverty. So it took you 150 years and many more years for some European nations to damage the earth and make your people comfortable. Now you are talking about renewable energy. For now, renewable energy stay far away from Africa. We do not care. We will use fossil fuel and coal and any means possible like China to build our nations(Africa) to a level where our citizens are comfortable and to a state where African countries would be called developed world. When we get there, then we will pay attention to renewable energy. So go somewhere with you renewable energy. Keep it going, we will catch up later. We have 54 countries in Africa (bigger than any continent), our population is growing per Euler's function, not like yours that is growing like natural logarithmic function (ln). So even if you do not buy our crude oil, we have a very huge market that fossil fuel would sell for so many generations, and we will use it to drive our countries and continent to where the first or second derivatives will equal zero. Hahahahhaa The funniest thing is it is taking us less years than it took your country and continent to get there. We are rising so fast. You need to leave the shores of western hemisphere and visit Africa, for get all the lies the western medie show you. Then your mouth will drop. Anyways enjoy. One love.
I'm glad someone is building one of the worlds...
May God make Africa reach and developed..
If only Canada did the same.
The African continent has had "humans" living on it 200-400 thousand years longer than anywhere else. About time.
good on Nigeria🙏👍
I can not wait for the project to be completed🔥🔥🔥
Good. Keep it going, Mr. Dangote.
CNN this isn't how clickbait work, you've gotta type the full title and then make it look good when it gets automatically scaled down later.
Go Nigeria!!!! Make us all Africans proud
good job and it's about time... keep up the good work!
Did he say $12,000,000.00 to build that ?!?!?!? That is SUPER CHEAP.
