You can buy its stock on the Nigerian Stock Exchange/Joburg stock exchange so anyone can buy its shares tomorrow and become a shareholder/part owner. I guess this makes it obvious that it is not owned by OBJ or one person. @ highfashion – Oando is Oando plc ie it is a public limited liability company.

Obasanjo does not own Oando or has any shares in the company. Transcop is the company that Obasanjo owns shares in. Wale Tinubu is the nephew of Bola Tinubu (former governor of Lagos State). And I an sure remember how much this two (Obasanjo and Tinubu) hated each other, so it is not possible. @ high fashion, that is not true. Obasanjo does not own Oando or has any shares in the company.

This is not criminal activity it is people fighting for their rights. Right now the nigerian government is killing innocent people in this area and he talks about criminality. They are wiping out villages and he talks about criminality. The chinese are not there to help the African people....they care about themselves and about their money that is why they are bringing their own workers and they are not hiring people in the african countries that they come from. What Africa needs is change. Nigeria needs a leader that can stand up against corruption and seek to bring reform and change to Nigeria. are they really giving the money back to the people….? i disagree with wale. why would they be fighting if they were giving the people money?

When she was asked about the problems faced in growing a business a Nigeria, I was sooo glad she said "inconsistencies in govt policies", not electricity or something ridiculous. She's also sooo right about the chinese. Dambisa hit on both points. Not hatting here cos I do have some great chinko friends, but the truth is they are veryyyy inclusive. It's their culture. I have some reservations about OVER-promoting microfinance. Some of those institutions/ entities still need to assist their borrowers' on how to properly project their ability to pay back the loans when due. This assessment should include simple cost-volume-profit analysis void of difficult terminologies (aka grammatus) Mrs. Megbopo's interview really got me pumped up. I always love a success story.
