 Mark Consuelos details 'brutal five-month saga' before his father's death: 'I miss my dad' Mark Consuelos has spoken candidly about the loss of his father, Saul Consuelos, who passed away on March 23 after a long illness.  Appearing on the I’ve Never Said This Before with Tommy DiDario podcast, the Live with Kelly and Mark co-host reflected on the painful five-month period leading up to his father’s death.  He recalled knowing the end was near but admitted that the reality of the loss still hit him hard.  Consuelos shared that he was able to say goodbye while working on the Broadway play Fallen Angels, and though he later learned of his father’s passing during rehearsals, the production served as a welcome distraction. The actor explained that he had hoped for a merciful and peaceful passing for his father, which he was grateful ultimately happened quickly and without pain.  While the family has not disclosed details about the illness, Consuelos described his f...

 Refinery: Oil Sector Mafia Fighting Us – Dangote


Africa’s richest person, Aliko Dangote, says local and foreign mafia tried several times to sabotage his $19 billion refinery from coming to fruition.


This is as he said he has repaid about $2.4 billion of the $5.5 billion borrowed to build the refinery.


According to him, several entities did everything to sabotage the 650,000 barrels per day facility.


He spoke Wednesday at the Afreximbank annual meetings (AAN) and AfriCaribbean Trade and Investment Forum in Nassau, The Bahamas.


Dangote said he was aware that resistance would always exist, but he did not anticipate it being so harsh.


“Well, I knew that there would be a fight. But I didn’t know that the mafia in oil, they are stronger than the mafia in drugs. I can tell you that. Yes, it’s a fact. The local and foreign mafia tried several times to sabotage the refinery from coming to fruition,” he said.


The businessman, who tagged himself a fighter throughout his life, said the mafias had tried several times to defeat him.


“But I’m a person that has been fighting all my life. You know, so I think it’s part of my life to fight,” he said.


On if he was receiving enough crude oil as feedstock for his refinery from the international oil companies (IOCs), Dangote said: “In a system where for 35 years people are used to counting good money, and all of a sudden they see that the days of counting that money have come to an end, you don’t expect them to pray for you. Of course, you expect them to fight back.


“And I think that is the process that we’re now really going through. But the truth is that, yes, the country, the sub-region, and also the continent, sub-Saharan Africa, need this refinery. So, you expect them to fight through non-supply of crude, non-purchase of the product, but I think it’s all temporary. We’ll get there.”
