I Do Not Believe In Dangote Refinery - Chukwuemeka Michael

A recent Instagram comment responding to Dangote’s discussion about the benefits of his new refinery read, “I no really believe.” This brief statement highlights a broader issue: the negativity that can overshadow progress.

Dangote’s refinery holds promise for Nigeria’s economy, offering potential job creation and reduced fuel dependency. Yet, instead of engaging with these possibilities, some are quick to dismiss efforts with skepticism.

While skepticism is understandable given past disappointments, dismissive comments like this shut down constructive dialogue. Progress requires a balance—holding leaders accountable while remaining open to positive change. Instead of dismissing new initiatives outright, we should ask questions and stay engaged, allowing room for hope and progress.
