DON’T BUY Dangote Refinery shares. 😔
In 2007 — 19 years ago — I bought Dangote Flour Mills shares with ₦150,000. I have the share certificate, and my name is on it; I posted it with this post. 📜
I never received any dividend (the profit shared among shareholders), and to this day I have not even recovered my original capital. I tried to follow up through a stockbroker, but I couldn’t find anyone nearby who could help. I only went to Lagos in 2019. 🚗✈️
I also went to the bank many times to fill e-Dividend forms, but I later noticed that Dangote Flour Mills had been removed from the list of companies on it. 🤦♂️
In 2022, Pension and Stockbroker offices started appearing in Gombe. I went to one office; the staff member told me Dangote Flour Mills had sold the company and that shareholders’ money had been transferred to the government — the NIPF (National Investment and Protection Fund).
From there they told me to go to the SEC, where they said I should fill an e-Mandate form. I filled it, but up till now there has been silence. 😔
Because of this experience, I cannot advise anyone to rush into buying shares without first understanding how the system works. Investigate thoroughly. Know where you will claim your dividend and your original capital if the company changes structure or stops operating. 📊💰
Now I would also like people who understand financial calculations to work out the value for me: ₦150,000 in 2007 — looking at the exchange rate and the value of money at that time — roughly how much is that worth today? 🤔💵

Fernández was offside and dived at the ball in front of the Martinez. Law 11.2 doesn’t need a touch, a clear attempt that impacts an opponent is enough.
The goal should’ve not been given.
Robbery!!!

Paredes and Romero did the same thing to Bellingham. They’re sore losers who can dish it out but can’t take it.

🚨🇦🇷🇪🇬 Rio Ferdinand: “Football Needs Fairness, Not Different Rules For Different Teams”
🗣️ “I’ve sat here and watched football for many years, both as a player and as a pundit, and what frustrates supporters the most is inconsistency.
When Argentina go down under a challenge, the whistle seems to come immediately. The officials are quick to spot the foul, quick to stop play and quick to protect them. But when Egypt are on the receiving end of similar incidents, suddenly the game is allowed to continue and everyone is told to move on.
That’s the issue people have tonight. Not the result itself, but the lack of consistency in the decision-making.
Then you look at the build-up to Enzo Fernández’s winning goal. Egypt were screaming for a foul, their players were surrounding the referee, and millions watching expected VAR to at least take a proper look at it. Instead, it felt like everyone in the VAR room had gone to sleep.
What exactly is VAR there for if not to review the biggest moments in the biggest matches?
If that incident happened against Argentina at the other end of the pitch, do you honestly believe it wouldn’t have been checked? I find that very difficult to believe. We’ve seen much softer incidents reviewed throughout this tournament.
That’s where the frustration comes from. Fans just want the same standard applied to every team.
And let’s talk about the disciplinary side of the game. Argentina seem to get away with an awful lot. There are challenges that would normally bring yellow cards, yet the referee appears reluctant to reach for his pocket. It’s almost as if officials are afraid of making decisions that might upset Argentina.
When you look at some of Argentina’s matches in this tournament, there have been several moments where opponents felt hard done by. One incident can be debated, two incidents can be debated, but eventually people start noticing a pattern.
Football cannot afford that perception. The integrity of the game depends on supporters believing that every nation is treated equally.
Whether you’re Argentina, Egypt, Brazil, France or anyone else, the laws of the game should not change depending on the badge on your shirt.
The officials tonight had a responsibility to be fair, balanced and brave. Instead, they have left millions of people questioning why some decisions are given so easily for one side while similar incidents involving the other side are ignored.
Football deserves better than that. The players deserve better than that. And the fans certainly deserve better than that.”

🚨🎙️Roy keane : I Think referees turn blind eyes towards Messi , he should have received a red card that’s a bad foul straight to the back
🗣️ I respect Messi a lot for all his achievements but sometimes the allegations are obvious you can’t be the greatest of all time like this . I feel the referees repect him a lot or something is happening behind the scenes and a very bad performance from Lucas Zidane
