🚨 RUDI GARCIA ALLUME LE SÉNÉGAL APRÈS LA VICTOIRE DE LA BELGIQUE 🇧🇪 ! 😳
« On connaît ces équipes-là : ELLES PERDENT LEUR STRUCTURE TACTIQUE vers la fin du match.
On savait qu'à 2-0 ils feraient tout pour protéger leur but, ce qui est à mon avis UNE GRAVE ERREUR. Rappelez-moi quand on mènera 2-0 DE NE PAS FAIRE ÇA. ❌
Parce que quand vous prenez un but comme ils l'ont pris à 2-1, LE MATCH A CHANGÉ D'ÂME.
Et puis c'était plutôt bien de marquer dans le temps additionnel, sur un penalty archi justifi��. »

Black African teams have a general psychology issue playing against Euro sides,
they have greatly improved in skill and performance,
but too many times in knockout games once up a goal, its like they can't believe they're actually winning, so they just then self-sabotage and lose out.
This is really the story of Africa in general.
Gotta reject self imposed Ls.
i started researching on starting a private equity firm, if you also want to, here are my findings.
It is a whole different ball game now. The days of just gathering a few friends' money to buy up a company are long gone. The regulatory and market entry bars are high, but the opportunity is massive if you do it right
here are the few things I have learnt on starting a private equity firm here in Nigeria
1️⃣First, check your pockets
You can't do this under the radar. To operate as a Tier 3 Private Equity Fund Manager, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires a minimum paid-up capital of ₦500 million. If you want full-scope asset management capabilities (Tier 1), that figure jumps to ₦5 billion. Registration requires absolute transparency, clean financial statements, and audited background checks. I will stick Tier 3 abeg
2️⃣ Structure your entity for local and global money
Most managers set up a GP-LP (General Partner/Limited Partner) structure. The GP is your fund management company registered with the CAC. If you plan to blend local capital with international development finance, you’ll likely need to use an offshore hub (like Mauritius or Delaware) feeding into a local special purpose vehicle (SPV) to keep things seamless for international investors.
3️⃣ Nail down your "Investment Thesis"
LPs (Limited Partners) will not give you money just because you are smart. They want a hyper-specific strategy.
Are you doing Growth Equity in the consumer goods space? Are you focusing on mid-market tech infrastructure? Or are you positioning for the Private Credit boom to lend to companies squeezed by tight commercial bank rates? Pick a niche and own it.
4️⃣ Write your own check first
To convince high-net-worth individuals, local Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs), or international allocators to back you, you must provide a GP Commitment.
This means you and your partners need to put your own cash into the fund, usually 1% to 2% of the total fund size. If you don't risk your own money, no one else will risk theirs.
5️⃣ Build your "Value Creation" dream team
Signing the deal is only 10% of the job. You need a team that knows how to step into a Nigerian business and aggressively scale it.
We are talking about experts who can restructure messy corporate governance, stabilize supply chains against FX volatility, move a factory off a failing power grid onto solar, and integrate AI to protect margins.
Clearly the most difficult part here is securing funding and this can take up to a year or two
