Exactly so, bro. That's called competition, which is the very core music of all businesses known to humanity. Instead of structuring and competing as a group, they are fighting to maintain their greedy status quo at the expense of the populace. What Dangote is doing would eventually bring the cost of hauling cement from point A-to-B very cheap. Similarly as he has done in Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, South Africa and of course his home country of Nigeria. THEY SHOULD GET A GRIP ON THEMSELVES INDEED.

This is competition, but ask yourself, where does the profit go. Ghanails do not know anything about economics, all we know is using some stupid slogans we don't even understand . Even American protects its market . Idiots and sell out like this is the reason why Nigerians parade around like they own Ghana and claim they are re-colonizing Ghana . It is hard time Ghanaians begin to think about our country seriously, life is not always "kumbaya".simple minded people like you is the reason why we still where we are now after 60 something years of independence.

Dangote Cement usually lease-sells it trucks to the drivers (to be repaid from their earnings over time), so the profits will go to Ghanaians.

At the end of the day he will employ Ghanaians to drive those trucks and the stealing will die a Natural death.

Just 1000 trucks, union thieves are jumping over flagstaff walls to complain to Mahama. Well the president has already taken his tax of $2000000.00 on those trucks. Union people stop the union dues thievery and think of strategic ingredients to inject into their business and face real competition. Mr Aliko Dangote, bring in additional 1000 trucks, at least to cart more of your cement to my village Paga-Kajelo.

The indirect employment and or benefit is just numerous.
