@thoughtsfromUSA@inecnigeria@OlayinkaLere Did you really read what the commission @inecnigeria wrote before jumping to write? Or you just choose to be dumb.
Inec said the info could have been leaked by someone (staff) who has access to the portal because of the ongoing CVR nd that they will investigate.

Dangote wants to raise up to $5 BILLION from Nigerians and global investors.
Some people will build wealth from this.
Others will lose sleep, rent money… and peace of mind.
Same IPO.
Completely different outcomes.
Aliko Dangote is preparing to list Dangote Petroleum Refinery & Petrochemicals.
Valuation? $20B–$50B.
Potentially Africa’s largest IPO ever.
This is not just big news.
This is a once-in-a-decade market event.
But let’s slow down the hype.
Many Nigerians will rush in when it opens.
Not because they understand refining, margins, or valuation…
But because:
“I don’t want to miss out.”
That mindset has ruined more portfolios than bad luck.
Let’s be real.
Some people will invest:
• Their rent
• Their emergency fund
• Borrowed money
Not strategy.
Just pressure and vibes.
That’s not investing.
That’s gambling with better branding.
Here’s why this IPO could work:
Nigeria imports fuel massively.
A local mega refinery changes that equation.
If execution is strong:
• Huge, consistent demand
• FX savings for the country
• Potentially strong revenue base
That’s a serious long-term story.
Also, scale matters.
This isn’t a small startup.
It’s a massive industrial asset with regional influence.
If it operates efficiently and pricing aligns…
Cash flow could be very powerful.
That’s why global investors are watching closely.
But now, the other side nobody wants to hear:
Big valuation = high expectations.
At $40B–$50B, a lot of future success is already priced in.
If performance disappoints even slightly…
The stock can punish late entrants.
Operational risk is real:
• Refinery efficiency must be consistent
• Policy changes can affect margins
• FX volatility can distort earnings
• Pricing politics in Nigeria is unpredictable
This is not a “set and forget” play.
And here’s the biggest danger:
FOMO.
People will buy because others are buying.
No research. No plan. No exit strategy.
When price drops 10–20%…
Panic selling begins.
Cycle repeats.
So what should you actually do?
Understand this clearly:
This could be the biggest opportunity of the year…
Or the biggest crowd mistake.
Both can be true at the same time.
Simple rules to stay safe:
• Don’t invest money you can’t afford to lose
• Don’t touch your emergency fund
• Don’t borrow to invest
• Understand what you’re buying
If you can’t explain it simply… don’t buy it.
This is not financial advice.
It’s a reminder:
Wealth is not built by chasing noise.
It’s built by discipline, patience, and clarity.
So tell me,
If this IPO drops tomorrow…
Are you investing with strategy…
Or just trying not to feel left out?
@aonanuga1956 Bayo,
I am utterly surprised that with the kind of office you occupy, you can come out or agree with this kind of lame excuse regarding the shoddy job executed by Wike.
This kind of wind that you termed "NATURAL" disaster must have blown off all the building roofs in Kugbo.
@GovAyoFayose Why are you so obsessed with Makinde? I like how he has refused to dignify you with a response from the day one of your constant attacks.
