I had the honour of touring the magnificent Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals complex today, before moderating a session with stakeholders in the Northern creative industry.
We left our hotel at about 8am and headed for the Lekki Free Zone, home to what I would describe as one of Africa’s most remarkable industrial achievements of the 21st century.
I was in awe as we turned off the famous Coastal Highway and made our way into the sprawling refinery complex. Dangote has built far more than a refinery; he has created a largely self-sustaining industrial ecosystem that, in my view, ranks among Nigeria’s most strategic national assets and is critical to the country’s energy security.
Consider, for a moment, what Nigerians might be paying for a litre of petrol today, particularly in the wake of the Iran war, without the Dangote Refinery.
Beyond the 700,000-barrel-per-day refinery sitting on 2,635 hactares, Dangote also built a polypropylene plant and a 3km deep-water jetty capable of accommodating large vessels. The facility supports the importation of crude and the export of refined petroleum products and petrochemicals to markets across Africa, Europe and beyond.
Spending over an hour sitting next to Africa’s richest man, asking questions and listening to him, was quite an experience. We may admire Alhaji Aliko Dangote’s vast industrial empire, but perhaps we should pay closer attention to his austere lifestyle and work ethic.
While I wore an embroidered Getzner outfit and a richman’s wristwatch to meet him, the billionaire was dressed in a simple, plain, Toyobo-like fabric, paired with casual suede loafers, and without a wristwatch. He works six days a week, while many of us who look up to him can hardly be persuaded to work through the weekends.
It is difficult to tour such an extraordinary facility without reflecting on the scale of ambition, discipline and long-term thinking required to build it. Kudos Alhaji!

The disastrous situation in Gaza is no longer making headlines in Western media.
A Silent Genocide is going on with almost zero attention. It is shameful. And an indication that Israel has succeeded in one aspect of its effort to start wars to divert attention on failures.
I couldn't get much sleep last night. I watched the film NAZA yesterday about the Israeli military killing Palestinian civilians from a distance with drone strikes or sniper gunfire, outlining in clear detail their lack of remorse for 'doing their jobs' or being a cog in the war machine. They used AI-powered tools to inflict mass slaughter, and continue to do so actively in Gaza.
As I was sitting in a theatre in downtown Ottawa with community members watching this film, I learned of reports of the Israeli military attacking the second floor of Al-Yasin Surgical Hospital in the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis in Gaza. The airstrike killed healthcare workers who were working in the hospital caring for their patients.
The munition used in the attack was identified as a GBU-39/B, a 250-pound class precision-guided glide bomb developed by Boeing for the U.S. military. We are so very clearly descending into the end of the world; if anything, we might already be at the end of the world as we know it.
The ongoing crimes by the Israeli military in Gaza, if they continue to go unpunished, will come for us all. Military companies, governments, institutions, pension plans, and so many others continue to enable and support these Israeli crimes that are horrendous beyond comprehension. May we all gather the strength to challenge and abolish the war machine that only knows death, and put humanity, justice, and liberation at the center of our solidarity work. For Palestine, but quite literally for our collective humanity as well.
I don’t know what I did in this life to deserve the kind of husband I got. I will forever be grateful to God.
If there was another being to be worshipped other than God, it would be my husband Aliu Osigwe Yesufu for me.
I have been loved. I have seen kindness. I have seen protection. I have seen loyalty. I have seen strength all from this man who is such a great human being.
I had to fight to get anything in this life until my husband came and made my happiness his primary responsibility. Putting a smile on my face is his number one priority and I also compete to replicate same.
I fell in love at first sight almost 30 years ago (13th December 1996) and everyday since I have fallen in love again afresh. He gives me reason to.
A practical feminist to the core!
I can never forget when he said to me in 1997 that I had to be financially independent!
Or is it when my mum was apologizing to him that I was not cooking his meals and he said why should she?! There is someone doing that!
My parents keep saying that he is the one that spoils me. He does!!!!!
My advocacy?! He has been my strength! He hates injustice in whatever form and don’t provoke that gentle giant otherwise you will see strength and fury unleashed!
Two months ago, he was traveling to the US to spend his annual holiday and he bought a new electric kettle and was showing me how the kettle works. I was puzzled and asked him why was he teaching me and we have one already that we use upstairs.
He said, the kettle had a problem and he fixed it. He didn’t want it to spoil while he was away because he knows I wouldn’t know what to do.
I felt so loved. It is in the small acts of kindness. Too numerous to even count.
Sometimes he looks me dead in the eye and he says: How will you survive if I die? I always tell him, better hang on oooh!
I just got off the phone with him. I told him I love him like I do numerous times a day. I show him daily how loved he is. Sometimes he laughs and tells me I too love my man. Who I for love?
Why am I writing this? Life is fickle and anything can happen especially in today’s Nigeria where some feel they own Nigeria.
I want the world to know that in this world there was a great and awesome man called Aliu Osigwe Yesufu who made a young woman who was punished for being bold, a happy and loved woman.
Whenever I see someone striving to find their way through life, I sincerely pray that Allah does not let their efforts go in vain, that He leads them to their destination, grants them what they hope for, and protects them from the hardships and setbacks of life.
Ya Allah, grant everyone who strives the fulfilment of their aspirations, bless every step they take, turn every hardship into ease, and provide a way out of every difficulty. Ameen.
@ProfIsaPantami’s venture into politics is a mentorship session in itself, with something for every young person to learn.
Read this post with an open mind, and you will find valuable lessons that can help you in life.
- He has challenged the status quo. As an Islamic cleric, it is unusual for him to contest for the highest political office in a state. Yet he did.
- He first developed his capacity and later set his ambition. As a youth, focus on capacity building first.
- He was in the APC. Many of us believed from the outset that he would not be allowed to secure the ticket. Still, he followed the process through to its logical conclusion.
- Dissatisfied with the primaries, he did not give up. He demonstrated resilience and the courage to leave the APC.
- He was not shattered by the blackmail and personal attacks, despite his standing in society. Many would have been distracted.
- Today, nobody is saying Malam cannot survive in the political space. Even his detractors believe he has learned the game well. He is a fast learner.
You will continue to enjoy our goodwill, Professor. You have shown us that with determination, courage, and resilience, nothing is impossible.
Let's meet !!!

Last night was one of the worst nights Gaza has seen. The bombs have never stopped raining down on them, and when the actual rain fell upon them, their tents flooded. So many missing limbs, all missing loved ones, most without homes. And the world just pretended it stopped. I didn’t even post an image with people this time because they’re sick of showing us images of themselves in desperation without action on our part. A reminder to you and me to not forget them because they’re no longer in your feed.
