This is a beautiful reminder of what social media is actually supposed to be about: community. Behind every large following is a foundation built on real people showing up, engaging, and keeping the conversation alive.
As someone who is just starting out on this journey, I know firsthand how much a simple reply or retweet from a larger account can change the trajectory of a page. I’m putting in the consistency and doing the work, but I need all the support I can get to break through the noise right now.
I’m fully committed to returning the favor, engaging back, and lifting up others as I grow. Let’s make this space feel like a community again.
@KorayChelikhan Louder so those at the back can hear.
This is a massive trap that too many people fall into. Leaving a large pile of cash in a regular current account is essentially watching its purchasing power slowly melt away to inflation.
This is what caught my eye in the President's latest directive on the deep offshore oil & gas sector:
"Attracting investment is only half of my purpose. I want the work that comes with these projects to come home to Nigeria."
The plan aims to:
✔️ Attract global billions by offering predictable tax terms.
✔️ Put Nigerian engineers, fabrication yards, and tech services to work.
✔️ Build Nigeria into Africa’s regional hub for deep offshore project execution.
Our resources must work for our people. Let's see this implemented transparently!
Dear Nigerians,
For many years, Nigeria has possessed some of the most promising deep offshore oil and gas resources in the world, yet several major developments have remained stalled. Oil lies beneath our waters. We have the engineers, businesses and young people capable of doing increasingly sophisticated work in the sector. What has often been missing is the certainty required for investors to commit billions of dollars, over many years, at the scale needed to turn that potential into production, jobs and opportunity for Nigerians.
We cannot afford to leave that opportunity beneath our waters for another decade.
I have therefore signed the Deep Offshore Oil and Gas Projects Incentives (Tax Remission) Order, 2026, to provide clear and predictable terms for a new generation of deep offshore investment in Nigeria.
The framework has the potential to unlock up to $50 billion in investment, beginning with the approximately $10 billion Bonga South West project. For existing deep offshore leases, there is a clear window to reach Final Investment Decision by 31 December 2029 and receive the full standard incentive available under the Order.
There is urgency to this work. Capital moves, and countries compete for it every day. The countries that attract long-term investment are not necessarily those with the greatest natural resources. They are the ones that provide the greatest certainty.
Nigeria must be one of those countries.
This Order marks the tenth major policy directive of my administration targeted specifically at the oil and gas sector. Each has dealt with a constraint holding back investment, production or value creation. Taken together, they represent a deliberate effort to make our oil and gas industry more competitive, attract capital back to Nigeria and ensure that more of the value created from our resources remains here at home.
But attracting investment is only half of my purpose.
I want the work that comes with these projects to come home to Nigeria. I want our engineers involved, our fabrication yards working, our marine and technical service companies securing contracts, and our young people acquiring skills that will remain valuable long after the first barrel is produced.
The Order reflects this priority. For projects accessing its supplementary incentives, activities are to be performed in Nigeria, subject to clearly defined exceptions and Nigerian Content requirements.
My ambition is that we use this new investment cycle to build Nigeria into Africa’s regional hub for deep offshore project execution. We should not only possess the resources. We should increasingly possess the skills, businesses and industrial capacity required to develop them.
When I engaged the Chief Executive Officer of Shell plc, Mr Wael Sawan, I directed my team to look beyond a solution for one company or one project. We needed a framework that could unlock a wider pipeline of investment while protecting Nigeria’s long-term interests.
That framework is now in place.
Ultimately, I will judge its success by what Nigerians see from it in terms of good jobs, stronger Nigerian businesses, greater production, increased revenues for the Federation and new capabilities built here at home.
Our natural resources must work harder for our people.
That is the purpose of this decision, and we will pursue it with urgency.
Nigeria First.

"Attracting investment is only half the purpose I want the work to come home to Nigeria." This is the most crucial part. Our engineers, tech talents, and fabrication yards are ready. If this truly translates into real, high-skilled jobs for young Nigerians and strengthens local businesses, it’s a massive win.
@Investa_holic the market doesn't test your IQ it tests your temperament.
When the market takes a dive or an asset skyrockets, logic flies out the window and survival instinct takes over. I
@kellytheboss7@Olivia0945 Exactly. It’s a gentle reminder that we’re never truly as isolated as we feel. Even if it's just for a few stops, our paths cross for a reason if only to remind us to be a little kinder to the strangers walking beside us.
@humblelee71@Olivia0945 For those few minutes, all the different backgrounds and chaotic schedules don't matter. Everyone is just collectively agreeing to sit tight and wait.
@Olivia0945 There’s a quiet beauty in being stuck in the exact same moment with strangers, all of you just drifting between where you've been and where you're going. It's one of the few places left where we're forced to just slow down and exist together.
Nigeria is a total powerhouse, but it’s easy to forget it's basically an English-speaking island in a French-speaking sea.
If you take Nigeria out of the picture, West Africa’s military and political weight completely flips to the Francophone side. It really is the anchor holding down the Anglophone presence in the region without it, the whole neighborhood's dynamic would look completely different.
You can't out earn a bad financial structure.
A doctor making $400k who spends it all is structurally closer to bankruptcy than a teacher making $50k who invests $15k a year.
Your income is a temporary tool. Your savings rate is your permanent foundation. Focus on what you keep.
Lagos bought 102 trucks from a Nigerian assembled plant for LAWMA.
Not from Germany. Not from Japan.
From Ikeja, Lagos.
The Dangote Sinotruk plant is a $100 million joint venture, 65% Nigerian-owned, 35% Chinese technical partner.
It can produce 10,000 trucks a year.
It employs Nigerians on the assembly line.
It targets 60% local content once Ajaokuta Steel resumes.
This is what import substitution actually looks like when it works.
State capital spent locally.
Jobs created domestically.
Tax revenue cycling back into the same economy.
The 65/35 equity structure is also worth noting.
Foreign technical expertise. Primary local ownership.
That is the correct template for FDI.
Not the reverse.
Lagos has now ordered 100 more.
The model is repeating itself because it worked the first time.
The $100 million Dangote-Sinotruk Truck Assembly Plant in Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria 🇳🇬 can assemble 10,000 trucks yearly.
Lagos State purchased 102 trucks from the plant for LAWMA.
The plant is 65% owned by Dangote Group and 35% by Sinotruk.
@olumidecapital Days like this are the exact reason I always preach that you never throw 100% of your capital into a single stock or deploy a lump sum in one day.
Worth checking the actual commission structure and payout terms before treating this as passive income, most affiliate programs pay per successful referral action, not just a signup, and terms vary a lot between platforms.
That said, OPay is CBN-licensed and NDIC-insured, so this isn't a fly-by-night referral scheme, it's a real fintech with real regulatory standing. If you already have people in your network who need a reliable transfer or payment app, this is at least a legitimate way to monetize a network you already have.
Read the fine print on payout thresholds and timing before assuming steady income from it though.
Most people spend 99% of their energy learning how to earn money.
0% learning how to protect it.
Then inflation takes 15%.
The bank takes another 4% in fees.
A bad investment takes the rest.
A lawsuit, a divorce, or a family dispute takes what's left.
Earning got you the money.
Ignorance lost it.
The second education is harder to find.
Nobody teaches it in school.
Your employer doesn't cover it.
Your bank has no incentive to explain it.
But it exists.
Inflation hedging.
Asset allocation.
Compound interest.
Tax efficiency.
Emergency buffers.
And a trust.
A trust separates your assets from your personal exposure.
If a creditor comes for you, they cannot easily reach what sits inside a properly structured trust.
If litigation happens, the assets are already legally ring fenced.
If you die without a will, a trust ensures your wealth goes exactly where you intended, not where the courts decide.
Companies like Stanbic IBTC Trustees, ARM Trustees, and FBN Trustees offer trust structures in Nigeria.
It is not only for billionaires.
It is for anyone who has spent years building something worth protecting.
You already know how to work hard.
These aren't advanced concepts.
They're the gap between earning well and actually keeping what you earn.
The question is whether everything you have built is actually safe.
Building an investment portfolio is only phase one. Ensuring that portfolio survives beyond your immediate control is the real mastery.
A 20% p.a. yield on your locked capital while learning how to bulletproof your estate structures through a trust is a massive win-win for any serious builder.
