DANGOTE'S REFINERY IS THE TRUE 8th WONDER OF THE WORLD


They told him he was crazy to want to build a private refinery in Nigeria. He was shunned by some Western Technical partners. It was hard for him to get credit to finance the project. Many Western competitors, and their domestic conspirators who profit from petroleum product importation, worked and lobbied against his success. He succeeded, and the rest is history....
 
President Tinubu and Nigerians should prostrate and thank Dangote for taking a big risk with all of his assets (the richest man in Africa then and still is) to build the world's largest single-train refinery, with a capacity of 650,000 barrels per day. Dangote's refinery is partly responsible for Nigeria's credibility restorationin the global business arena, the resurgence in our economy that saw a stupendous growth of 4% in 2025, and is projected to be higher in 2026. His refinery has increased our access to foreign currency through export, and the reduced the demand for foreign currency for importation of what his refinery now produces locally. These have in turn strengthened the naira against the major currencies...
How I wish Dangote would decide to run for the president of Nigeria. I am so sure many Nigerians of different hues and colors will line up behind him... we will forget about rotational presidency... I am not a fan of many of his monopolistic dominance in certain sectors of the economy, but he has done right by us as a country in this regard.
 
We have Dangote to thank as a shrewd businessman who could take risks. #dangote

  THE GREATEST ASSET EVER – LAND “Every time I make a movie, I buy a LAND” – Tiffany Haddish (Actress, Comedian, Singer, and Producer). If you do not know yet, I announce to you that the greatest asset that will give you an assured return, whose value hardly depreciates, is LANDED property . Reflect on the major wars going on right now in the world that are predicated on the issue of LAND. WHY? It is one of the GEM God endows humanity with that is finite in quantity. While the human population continues to increase, land area remains the same or is diminishing due to climate change. The Russia's war in Ukraine , the Gaza war , the DRC-M23 war/Rwanda , Sudan's civil war , the Cambodia–Thai war , herdsmen-farmers' violence in Nigeria and the Ethiopian civil war … all are predicated on access to land and what is in it – rare earth minerals . So, in 2026 , if you have the opportunity to invest in an asset, think about landed property.

WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO EXTREMELY GOOD PEOPLE

There is a saying in my language, Yoruba , that “Igi to ba to, kii pe n’gbo” – meaning, the good ones do not seem to last or live long. WHY? Tatiana Schlossberg, granddaughter of John F Kennedy (The U.S. President who championed the civil rights movement to end discrimination; one of the greatest U.S. presidents ever) and daughter of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis , passed away today from cancer at a young age of 35. Like her grandfather and many others in the Kennedy family, she dedicated her life to changing the world. She was a passionate environmental journalist for the New York Times and wrote a book titled "Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have” in 2019 that won the Society of Environmental Journalists’ Rachel Carson Environment Book Award in 2020. Her life’s work sheds light on how individuals’ daily activities and choices exacerbate climate change issues . Tatiana Schlossberg's work focused on making complex environmental issue...
