The Dangote Refinery Gist That's Actually Sending Me

Dangote says he wants to double refinery capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day. Omi. I saw the headline and just started laughing, because do you know what that actually means for us?

Nothing. It means nothing. Because fuel will still be ₦1,500 per litre and we will still be buying from that one filling station where the attendant looks at you like you owe him money. The man is building a whole empire and I'm here calculating if I can afford to put ₦5,000 fuel in my car and still eat this week.

Make it make sense. We have oil. We have the biggest refinery in Africa. And somehow we are still the ones suffering. The math is not mathing at all. Shey the refinery will also come with free fuel for Lagos girls? Abeg.

But seriously, if Dangote can actually pull this off and fuel price drops small, I will personally post his face on my finsta with a heart emoji. Until then, I'm keeping my generator close and my expectations low. No be so?
