Dangote's petrol price cut sounds like a win for consumers, but not everyone is throwing confetti. Some folks are worried that these price slashes are part of a plan to edge out smaller depot owners and snag a market monopoly.

In this price battle, Dangote's possibly using its size to undercut competitors, offering petrol at N825 per litre, down from N835. Smaller depot owners can't match such big discounts, meaning they might eventually get pushed out of the market.

It's kinda like if a big retail chain suddenly opened in your small town, selling everything way cheaper than local mom-and-pop shops. At first, it's great for shoppers, but over time, those local spots might have to close.

I remember when my fave local comic book store couldn’t keep up with a giant entertainment retailer. They couldn't survive the discount wars and, eventually, closed down. It was a sad hit to local culture.

So, folks are cautious that Dangote might dominate the fuel scene, leaving everyone else to gas up at their pumps only, with potentially higher prices down the road once the competition gets snuffed out. It's like a long game of chess where every move counts!
