Samaila Mohammed's article on Northern participation in the Dangote Refinery share offer is critiqued. The author agrees that Northerners should invest if they can afford it and understand the risks, but disagrees that buying shares secures the North's economic stake. The article argues that economic inclusion should not be confused with financial participation, especially if the North continues to lose ownership of local businesses. It warns that mobilizing ordinary Northerners to buy a few shares while losing control of community businesses is a dangerous confusion.
