Dangote Vs Farouk — When Nigerian Ikoyi Elephants, The Poor Fadeyi People Should Be Pouring Gasoline
Today’s Dangote vs Farouk saga is not entertainment—it is a rare public audit moment.
Aliko Dangote has escalated his dispute with the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), calling for a corruption probe into its chief executive, Farouk Ahmed, and raising allegations about foreign school fees and lifestyle versus legitimate income. Reuters+1
But my focus is bigger than the feud: when privileged power fights privileged power, it is ordinary Nigerians—Fadeyi people—who pay the bill.
In this LIVE show, I break down what this fight reveals about:
• Big Capital vs Big Regulation
• Fuel imports vs local refining and market control Reuters+1
• Why Nigerians must demand receipts from BOTH sides (assets/taxes on one side; concessions/policy advantages on the other)
No hero worship. No tribal sentiment. Just accountability.
