Dear Aliko Dangote, son of Mariya, a great gift to us in Nigeria. Thank you, for on this day you redeemed our pride as black people, as humans capable of contributing value and engaging in the activities that others do. With the coming onstream of the PMS from your Dangote Refinery.

A grateful nation thanks you.
As a pan-Nigerian Patriot, I thank you from the depth of my soul for the shame had gone on for too long.

You must try as much as possible to be moderate in your pricing for our people have bore such a heavy burden for so long, I get sustainable pricing but ensure that the markup takes into consideration our people.

You come from a long-standing historical business family from the great Alhassan your great-grandfather to Sanusi your grandfather to your beloved father Aminu Dangote, not leaving out your supportive mother Hajia Mariya, whose stories of charity and zakat I was told way back in 1998/1999 by locals in Kano.

Profit is good but nationalism, patriotism and empathy must be your guide.

Oh, Our Creator bless and preserve Dangote Refinery, The Workers, and all that have dealings with it. Let this effort be preserved, let it grow from strength to strength. As you have preserved Rockefeller does preserve and sustain Aliko Dangote for generations.

Now let the giant called Nigeria awake, stand up and take its rightful place in the comity of nations.

Otunba Segun Showunmi.
Nigeria First!
