Earlier today, with EU Ambassador Gautier Mignot, and key private sector leaders at the opening session of the 10th Nigeria-EU Business Forum.
Today’s conversations focused on translating dialogue into investment across digital infrastructure, renewable energy, and agricultural value chains.

Either big or small. Make sure you have your own dream defined. The bigness or smallness is by your defined metrics. Own your dream

Dear Fortuna Düsseldorf Team,
I’m Olaogun, a young Nigerian footballer with one goal: to help Fortuna Düsseldorf return to the Bundesliga.
I’ve watched the club’s journey and I want to be part of it. I’ll bring energy, commitment, and a winning mentality to every training session and game. Give me a chance in a trial, and I’ll do everything to prove I deserve to stay.
Video links to check out my highlights youtube.com/@Olaogun9 . Ready when you are.
Best regards,
Olaogun.
🙏🏽❤️ @f95

Since I mentally switched to this lane of thinking, I have stopped viewing cultural integrations from the lens of racism.
That people don't respond, welcome you, associate like you expect them to - doesn't make them racist.
You integrate into theirs - not the other way round.

This whole issue on Dangote is shocking and creating bad waves for Nigeria globally. - Akinwunmi Adesina
Monopoly often exists where there are high barriers to entry or high capital costs.
How many individuals or companies can do railways? How many can do refineries of the scale of Dangote Refineries?
In a nation that has been importing refined petroleum products for several decades, the abnormal simply became very normal.
No smart investor would make a $19.5 billion investment and want it to be undermined by importers.
To manufacture is extremely expensive and risky. This is even more so in Nigeria, given the very challenging business and economic environment, fraught with policy uncertainties and policy reversals, and where the self-defeating default mode of “simply import it” is always so easily rationalized and chorused to solve any problem.
Competition is good for everyone. But is Dangote refineries anti-competitive? What is the evidence?
Has Dangote refineries prevented any other company from setting up refineries? Why have others not done so? How come they have not done so for several decades? Was it Dangote that held them back?
But Dangote refineries surely cannot be asked to ‘compete’ with importers of petroleum products.
That is not competition. Let the importers set up local refineries and compete by refining in Nigeria. That is fair and justified competition.
We cannot and must not undermine, disparage or kill local industries, talk less of one that is of this scale — a jewel of industrialisation in Nigeria.
It is more than simply delivering the cheapest product to the market. It is about domestic supply security, driving (and yes, protecting) globally competitive industries, maximizing forward and backward linkages in the local economy, job creation, reducing forex expenses and shoring up the Naira.
We must not be myopic.
This whole disparaging of Dangote is uncalled for. It is self-defeating. And it is very bad for Nigeria. Who will want to come and invest in a country that disparages and undermines its own largest investor?
Investing is tough. Pettiness is easy.
It sadly sends a signal that the price for sacrificing for Nigeria is to get sacrificed.

“DIBU”
(Just Wait!!!)
As a child, he would watch his father cry because he couldn't pay their bills. He would see his parents starve so he and his brother could have something to eat.
Emi Martinez was playing for Independiente and was living in Buenos Aires and could only see his parents twice a month because they couldn't afford to come to see him play always.
Martinez didn't just see football as his passion, he saw it as an escape route from poverty for himself and his family.

I never knew that in the early days, black slaves could only play the piano with black keys and not white keys, and I didn't know that Amazing Grace was composed with black keys. Today's sharing~
Inside Carnegie Hall, gospel singer Wintley Phipps delivers perhaps the most moving "Amazing Grace" ever recorded.
He said: "Many people don't realize that almost all black spirituals are written on the black notes of the piano because slaves were not allowed to use the white keys. Perhaps the most famous of this slave work is by John Newton. Produced and wrote "Amazing Grace."
After sharing the famous history of the song, Mr. Phipps delivers an exciting performance, making the audience stand up and applaud!!!
