Dangote SHOCKS The West! Africa’s Largest Industrial Revolution Begins in East Africa 🔥

[00:00:00]That's number one. And also the support of the governments here because I mean if you look at it really what we lack in uh Africa is quite a lot because we are a continent of imports and we're not really exporting much. We export uh raw materials which means when you export raw materials you are exporting jobs and when you import you are importing poverty because you are creating jobs out there not here in the continent.

[00:00:33]>> So I think with the support of the government that's nothing that is impossible and we some of us were really tired of seeing our continent going out there to be begging for anything. I mean if you remember at the beginning of the uh you know war between Ukraine and uh Russia uh the chairman of African Union that was president Makisal had to go and be begging for fertilizers and since that day I said okay fine by 2028 Africa will be self-sufficient in fertilizer and we are doing that we are opening 20 blending plants in areas where they don't have the capacity also we are going to be uh at 12 million tons of ura we are going to have massive potach and prospect from Congo Brazil and we believe we will satisfy most of the demands of Africa >> I mean you look at it today with population of Africa 1.4 4 billion and also rising right we don't have raw material for detergent just to wash our this clothes which we need every day we don't have we only have two factories one Egypt 50 tons 100 tons in Algeria so that's why we also launch now 400,000 metric tons of uh linear alkaline benzene which is the 100% raw material of detergent. So we have quite a lot of which before we don't have the capacity but right now with the likes of [snorts] African banks African bank with the likes of uh Africa finance cooperation with a lot of support from other financial institutions following these two there's nothing we cannot do in uh Africa that's why we as a group we have now launched between now and 2030 we're investing $40 billion in various fields So it is possible Africans can do it.

[00:02:45]Let us not be scared.

[00:02:47]>> Let them not come and convince us that no somebody needs to carry our raw material to go and produce and bring the items here. I must really thank president of Uganda for taking this bold move >> stopping the export. They will be forced. They will come and produce.

[00:03:05]>> Why do you want to take the raw material then you bring it back?

[00:03:08]>> Wow. It has been confirmed that African billionaire Alikangote from Nigeria is going to build one of the largest oil refinery in East Africa, Tanga, Tanzania. And this bring me to understand that if we Africans we can work together, coming together well organized Africans, we are unstoppable.

[00:03:31]Why? Because Africans we have resources in our motherland. We have everything.

[00:03:39]We have young generation who are innovative, creative and who are very intelligent. What we lack family brothers and sisters is political wills. Political wills from African leaders. African politicians are the source of all these problems. If we can come together organized very well, we can be unstoppable. Family brothers and sisters, uh this issue of Aliko to build one of the largest oil finally in East Africa, it's not just a story. It is not a story. which is about African industrial power and Dangot has already demonstrated that his capacity after building one of the largest oil finally in Nigeria that many thought it was impossible in Africa. But Dangot has proven that he has that capacity after that refinary operational changing Nigerian energy landscape. You can see that for a long time Africans we are depending on others not because we don't have capacity because of our policies.

[00:05:01]We inherited western policies, colonial policies that sometimes making sure that Africans we cannot do anything. We thought that we cannot innovate. We thought that we cannot create things even to treat ourselves. We can't treat ourel. We need to be treated outside.

[00:05:18]And that's why many times you see our leaders when they seek they run away from this continent. Why? because they have been inherited the system that if you are president or you are a leader there's no African ops that have capacity to treat you but Dangot is going to change uh that narratives and it's going to show the world that we Africans we have capacity and this is what we have been asking for a long time so family brothers and sisters imagine this East Africa refining its own fuel instead of depending on imports from Europe, Middle East, G countries or Asia. Imagine low fuel transportation costs, more jobs for African youth, more industries, more factories, more economic independence. This could this could become one of the biggest industrial projects in East African history. At the timing at the timing is important. Africa is now pushing for deeper integration through African Union despite African Union is becoming weak and weaker as Professor Pon Mumbas are saying many times in African continental free trade area. The dream is simple.

[00:06:35]Africans trading with Africans. African industries supplying African markets.

[00:06:42]Africa becoming self reliant. If we can do so, family brothers and sisters, Africa can grow because no continent can truly develop while depending entirely on other on others for energy. Imagine Africans, we are exporting our resources into low forms and we import finished products. What does this means?

[00:07:12]We export at low cost then we import at highest cost. It means we're importing poverty. We export wealth and importing poverty. And that's why till today despite of all minerals that we have Africa still behind. Why? because Africans or African countries have no policies to make sure that resources must be processed here.

[00:07:42]Thanks to President Tim in this conversation, he has spoken very well that no resources will be exported from Uganda into law forms. If you want resources, come and process here. That's what we want. We have people like Angot who have capacity. Why don't we give them opportunities to industrialize to invest in African so not only Dangot we want Africans in the diaspora brothers and sisters in Colibia who have capacity knowledge capital to come back home and invest in our resources.

[00:08:19]It doesn't make sense that the richest continent but the people of that continent are poor. not accidentally we are poor because we are exporting wealth and importing poverty. So family brothers and sisters um fuel will be available at low price in in East Africa if this um project will come true. And we hope uh this project will be accomplished within your lifetime. And we wish because you know Africans sometimes we plan many things but when it comes to implementation it is difficult and sometimes because of this what we call democracy. Maybe today president and president Samir are in power. They have agreed that we have to make sure that this indust is going to be established in East Africa. When regime change, we find ourselves into conflicts. And that's why I've been saying this, we need to have a plan as Africans. Whether someone will come or will not be there, that plan must be implemented. We don't have a common vision. We need to have a common vision. And we don't have a common vision because of division among our leaders. Some of our leaders, as I said many times, are puppets are planted to make sure that Africa is not moving forward. They are there to make sure that Africa will not achieve and that's why you see sometimes we agreed let us do this then the same leaders who have been there on the summit move in different direction after contacting with their masters they change and they make sure that Africa will not achieve because we know this is a war and I wish African countries we have to protect must be protected You may ask why they don't want people like Dangot who can ensure and demonstate that Africans we can do better. we can invest. So we must protect Ario Dangot because they know that Dangot is a gamecher in terms of African trades and this is a war family brothers and sisters those companies ships that have been bringing oil from Europe from G countries from uh Asia will be we have no business so this is a war so we have to protect by all means to make sure that this man have to accomplish and to make sure that the refiner is going to be true. Uh but the challenge family brothers and sisters remain that all refinary projects require billions of dollars, political cooperation, stable policies, infrastructures, pipelines and regional trust. Of course, if you come to the issue of pipeline, we know very well that Uganda and Tanzania have a pipeline, East African pipeline that is taking oil from Oima in Uganda to uh Tanga port and that is an opportunity. We know Kenya has has oil.

[00:11:33]We can join that oil to this pipe. D has oil, South Sudan's oil. If we can come together and well organized and say let us connect our pipes and making sure that our oils are going to be refinary in East Africa um refinary oil in Tanga it will be easy and that will also help uh countries such as Tanzania itself Kenya, Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Bundi, Malawi Zambia, of course, Tanzania and Zambia have a pipeline called Tazama. So if we can refine our own oil, there's no need for us to import oil from G countries.

[00:12:21]You know, sometimes you want as Alikot said, we have everything here in the continent of Africa. But when it comes to implement, that's where the difficult it is. Some said we don't have capital. But I don't trust that we don't have capital. If you look very keenly the amount of money we spent with these uh trips to go out to attend summits, amount of money our leaders spend during elections. Amount of money we spend to attend sometimes this uses summits.

[00:12:56]We spend a lot of money. If we can become well organized and say let us put our money on the table and done this project and it is possible you know I'm saying this because have witnessed leaders who have succeeded we we have seen what is happening in Bukinaso is building roads industries infrastructures not only tr we remember the late president of Tanzania Johnny Pom Magu what he He build SGL.

[00:13:30]He build hydroelectric power dams. He build new city.

[00:13:36]So you can see within short time 6 years Johnny Pomu did a lot of things within two or 3 years of captain we have seen changes in. So it is possible if we can organize be organized well and put our money to where the money is supposed to be we can change this continent. We lack nothing except political will and leadership. So family, brothers and sisters, uh for me uh this is what I like and I wish other countries to do and as I said we need to protect this man because we know uh when this kind of man come they know that they will try to to destabilize the systems they want to continue controlling Africa because they know Africa is the market they don't Africa to have industries that's why they tried everything to make sure that Africa remain into the same position. So, East African leaders will need to work together if this dream is to succeed. Uh because African's biggest weakness has often been division. We know uh that division is the biggest problem. Yet, if this finally become reality, it could inspire something bigger across the continent uh of Africa. African owned industries, uh, Africa value addition and African economic sovereignty. This is what really implies. Uh, the lead question is no longer whether Africa has resources. The question is, can Africa unite behind long-term industrial vision? Can we unite be behind our long-term visions? Because we have seen, we have examples that we have failed to silence the guns. We have failed to have African passport. We have failed to have a free movement of people and goods. We have failed to silence conflict and to end wars. So can we succeed in this issue? That's a question that still on the table. We need to answer this question because the future belongs to uh belongs not only to nations that produce raw materials but to nation that controls uh control production, processing and supply chains and perhaps East Africa is now entering that era. So what do you think family brothers and sisters can Dangot refinary project transform East Africa or will politics and division slow it down because this is our behavior and we know that division among Africans and this is what we call ideologies maybe can say yes maybe Samir can accept but when it comes to other leaders maybe R you have seen uh uh French Mcronone in in Kenya maybe can rob President L. I have BP I mean it's not BP I have total energy EP is B petroleum I have total energy please don't care about that oil refinery I will bring here totally we supply oil to you so we need to be careful with uh such kind of division but all family brothers and sisters uh if you have something and you um you think this will be possible impossible Please drop your thoughts on the comments and do not forget also to like, subscribe and share uh this video to support African stories, not just stories, African revolutions, African uh awakening and appraising and making Africa great. So African solutions and uh African um development Africa is rising and this time Africa is building its uh it themsself. So our family brothers and sisters, we are going to make Africa great and Africa must be great because before Africa was great. During the era of mansamus Africa was great and this time we want to return as a greatest continent. It is possible. I know some may say it is imposs it is possible. The problem is politics and division among Africans. If we can come together and well organized, we can change everything on the ground.

[00:18:13]We have that energy. We have that power.

[00:18:15]Many of our young people want changes.

[00:18:18]If we can have maybe 15 leaders such as what do you think? What will happen? We need only 15 travel in this continent everything can be all right.

[00:18:31]We can change this continent. But single tranch and simigua are not enough. We are almost 55 if not 54 nations. So three nations cannot transform everything. We need more travelers in this continent who can come and say enough is enough. So family brothers and sisters let me end here.

[00:18:58]Thank you for watching. Have a nice time. See you in next videos.

[00:19:10]Thank you Africa.

[00:19:15]You make Africa.

[00:19:18]Thank you Africa.
