9 & 2 - Lionel Messi completed nine dribbles and assisted two goals against England - the first player on record (from 1966) to do so in a single FIFA World Cup knockout game.

Catalyst.

@BukkyOA Owh you noticed those poor calls too? Can't do that against Argentina.

[Akin Modupe Kolawole @akinmodupe]

@dejigbenro À very poor call from a very technical coach like Tuchel.

The Peak-End Rule 👇

People don’t remember an experience evenly. They mostly remember the best moment and the last moment.

This is why a great ending can save an okay meeting or project.

Aim to finish strong.

Give powerful closes to your meetings, projects and other interactions. People will remember that.

The IKEA Effect 👇

You value things way more when you helped build them, even if the result is a bit rough.

The effort makes you love it. That is why your own messy plan feels better than a smarter one someone shares with you. At work, this is why people defend their own ideas so hard.

As a leader, let people help build or lead a project and they will fight for it like it’s theirs.

The top four teams in the world rankings have made the World Cup semi-finals for the first time.

Fifa introduced a new draw format for this tournament to ensure the four top seeds wouldn't meet until this stage, if they all won their groups.

DangRef’s private placement was 67% subscribed above target, attracting $4.7bn in demand while only $2.8bn was accepted. The IPO could exceed 120% subscription.

Nigeria will grow immensely if we continue this level of capital formation. Access to capital is one of the most important drivers of long term economic growth.

Over the past three years, NGX banks, insurance companies and pharmaceutical firms have all raised capital successfully. DangSugar’s ₦486bn rights issue will likely be oversubscribed, while even small cap companies like TIP had a fully subscribed public offer. McNichols, a micro-cap stock, is now raising ₦1.12bn through a rights issue, which also looks likely to be fully subscribed.

More recently, Ellah Lakes has been the only notable exception to struggle with raising capital.

Kola Karim, the founder of Shoreline Energy, reveals how he got into the Oil and Gas Industry.

In 2002, the International Oil Companies started shutting down their Oil & Gas plants in the Niger Delta due to insecurity.

President Obasanjo put pressure on the IOCs to transfer their facilities to local Nigerian players.

Then he took advantage and got into the Oil & Gas industry.

First, Bloomberg data shows Nigerian equities have become the best-performing stock market this year. Then, S&P Dow Jones Indices placed Nigeria on its Watchlist for a possible upgrade to Frontier Market status, following FTSE Russell’s earlier plans to reclassify Nigeria into its Frontier Market universe once market-access conditions are met. This has to be a win for every Nigerian participating in the stock market as investors, regulators, brokers and all. Take your flowers 🌹.

So for a couple of days, I've been feeling down, had so much on my mind and I just stumbled on this video by Eric @eric_gugua and it genuinely brought tears to my eyes.

I needed it, and hopefully someone out there will be encouraged too.

Indeed, there's more to life 🙏🙏🙏
