🇨🇦 isn’t collapsing. It’s splitting in two.
Young 🇨🇦 now rank 71st in happiness globally while those over 60 are still in the top 10. That gap didn’t happen by accident. Housing became the economy. Older generations built massive wealth just by holding assets, while younger 🇨🇦 are locked out unless they have high incomes or family support. Youth unemployment is pushing ~15% and nearly a million young people aren’t in work or school.
But there’s another layer underneath this. Labour supply has surged. The TFW program has expanded far beyond seasonal work into retail, service, and even parts of white-collar jobs. At the same time, higher-value roles are being offshored. More competition, fewer quality opportunities. That’s not just stagnation, that’s pressure on wages and on the future.
And yet 🇨🇦 still has everything most countries don’t. Resources, talent, world-class universities, a top-tier AI ecosystem, deep institutional capital. On paper, this should be a powerhouse economy. The problem isn’t what 🇨🇦 has. It’s how it’s being run.
If that gap gets addressed, this story flips fast. If it doesn’t, the divide only gets worse.
ALIKO DANGOTE Open Letter to Africa
“My Real Investment Wasn’t Cement, Sugar, or Oil — It Was My Daughters.”
I’ve spent my life building industries. But factories can be copied. Deals can be replicated. Capital can be replaced. What cannot be replaced… is leadership. That’s why I didn’t raise heirs. I raised architects. Not for fame. Not for inheritance. But for responsibility.
You see! the factories you see today are not the end of my legacy.
They are simply the training ground for those who will build beyond.
“While most billionaires hide their children from responsibility, I built a leadership pipeline. And it has three names.”
“Mariya Dangote is the strategist. Halima is the dealmaker. Fatima is the diplomat.
Three daughters. Three lenses. One mission: Make Africa competitive in the next 50 years.
While others hid their children from pressure… I exposed mine to purpose. Africa doesn’t need protected elites.
It needs trained transformers. “No reality TV. No scandals. No noise. Just execution. My daughters are rewriting what it means to inherit power in Africa.” Because true succession is not DNA. It’s discipline. It’s not inheritance. It’s institution-building.
If my legacy stops with me... then I have failed. “The real case study isn’t my billions. It’s how I raised leaders instead of dependents, because Africa doesn’t need princesses. It needs architects. And my daughters might be exactly that.”
Legacy isn’t what you leave to your children. It’s what you build through them. Dangote understood that.”
That’s why every African entrepreneur should ask themselves: Have I built wealth… or have I built continuity? Will my children be beneficiaries, or builders?
I didn’t raise princesses. I raised a strategy team. And together, we are executing one question for Africa: What does it take to build an economy that survives its founders? If Africa answers that question — truly answers it... Then no speech, no summits, no billionaire will ever be needed again.
That is the real vision. That is the real succession. And that is my real business plan.
Africa, what legacy are you building? And who is truly ready to continue it?

@EduardoHagn None! We need a DM in the Ndidi/Kante mold. We conceded too many goals last season and protecting the defense is still an issue.ESR, Lokonga Viera and
Odegaard can play AM positions. Let's spend wisely.
@DamiAFC_ @David_Ornstein @TheAthleticUK If Pepe leaves yes we need him , but our priority should be a DM since we missed out on Bissouma. Tielemans will not solve our problems. Partey cannot play DM as he lacks recovery speed and is also injury prone (he should focus on his link play with attack)
Which way is Nigeria headed? I bought 50 litres of diesel for my car at the cost of N40, 000 in Enugu. I’m wondering how we will all survive this hardship. As a Law Professor that has reached the last step and stage in promotion at a Federal University, I’m paid about 400k per
