Herbert Wigwe narrates the story of his worst day in his career as Access Bank CEO.

It was a $35m (over N4.4b) loan facility that owed by African Petroleum (AP) Plc that became non-performing in 2009.

Femi Otedola was the chairman of AP Plc at that time.

Herbert was under severe pain that he got hospitalized.

If they didn't manage this situation, they could become completely bankrupt.

Herbert and Aig had to sell all their assets through fire sale to maintain their reputation. The process took ten days.

“George (Soros), I’m going to sell $5.5 billion worth of British pounds tonight and buy deutsche marks. Here’s why I’m going to do it, that means we’ll have 100% of the fund in this one trade”.

As I’m (Stanley Druckenmiller) talking, he starts wincing like what is wrong with this kid, and I think he’s about to blow my thesis away and he says, “That is the most ridiculous use of money management I’ve ever heard. What you describe is an incredible one-way bet.

We should 200% of our net worth in this trade, not 100%. Do you know how often something like this comes around? Like once every 20 years. What is wrong with you?”

Zimbabwe's impact on South Africa's economy is so wild that, if it went away today, it'd cause unemployment in South Africa to rise by a full 4%.

This is out of a study we've just concluded for a multinational that's looking to "diversify risk" out of SA.

Last year Zimbabwe sent US$4 billion to South Africa for official imports.

That's roughly equivalent to A THIRD of South Africa's total exports to her largest trading partner (China: ~US$12 billion. Not bad for a country (Zim) of only 16 million people,

It's also roughly 1% of South Africa's entire GDP for 2025 that was exported to Zim, officially.

The actual total Zim spent on imports from SA is about US$7 billion, since smuggled goods from South Africa are conservatively calculated to be about ¾ of official imports in value.

During the same period, South Africa imported only ~US$400 million in Zim goods.

Already, some South Africa companies are being impacted so heavily they're begging @CyrilRamaphosa's @MYANC to batten down the hatches & impose illegal protectionist measures on Zim👇

Dinson Steel in Zim has led to the shutdown of ArcelorMittal SA. Sunny Yi Feng's tiles out of Zimbabwe have seen Italtile crying foul after their turnover was impacted heavily.

If Zim's useless @Min_of_IC were to take the China/Singapore approach to Industry/Commerce that I've been advocating for years now, it'd be catastrophic for SA, @edmnangagwa @MthuliNcube01

Mark Cuban just described the largest wealth transfer of the AI era.

Almost nobody understood what he said.

Cuban: “There are 33 million companies in this country. Aren’t going to have AI budgets. Aren’t going to have AI experts.”

Not tech startups.

The shoe store. The regional trucking outfit. The accounting firm with 12 employees.

The businesses that actually run the physical economy.

They know AI is coming. They have no idea what to do with it.

Cuban: “You’ve got the head of Microsoft saying software is dead because everything’s going to be customized to your unique utilization.”

Software is dead.

The SaaS era ran on one rule. Build a generic product. Force millions of companies to bend their workflows around it. Charge rent forever.

AI ends the contract.

The business stops bending to the software. The intelligence bends to the business.

But customized by whom.

The third-generation manufacturer cannot tell Claude from Gemini. The county hospital is staring at a reactor asking where the light switch is.

Cuban: “Who’s going to do it for them?”

That question is worth more than the frontier models themselves.

Hundreds of billions are being burned to build the foundation. The smartest engineers alive are locked in a bloodbath over who owns the base layer.

Let them fight.

Let them burn the capital. Let them drive the cost of raw intelligence toward zero.

Because the wealth does not collect where the brain is built.

It collects where the brain meets the business.

Every ambitious kid in college right now thinks survival means a seat at OpenAI or Anthropic.

Cuban is staring at the other 99 percent of the economy.

Learn the models. Then learn the messy, unglamorous reality of how a 50-person company actually operates.

Walk through the door. Understand their problems. Wire the intelligence directly into their revenue.

That is not a job title. That is an entire economic class being born.

You do not need to build the brain. You need to build the nervous system.

The biggest winners of the electricity era were not the engineers who built the generators. They were the ones who walked into dark factories and showed the owners where to plug in.

33 million companies are standing in the dark right now.

Silicon Valley is racing to build the god. The fortunes will belong to whoever teaches him a trade.

Otedola also talked about how he lost the $1.2b

In 2008, oil prices collapsed from $146 to $34. And he had over a million tons of diesel on the high sea. The naira was also devalued, and he had a lot of dollar exposure.

I’ve watched Ederson a few times and he’s alright, but the reason I’m very hyped about this signing and why I think he’ll succeed is because more than half of the Manchester United fanbase don’t rate him.

They all wanted Delap, Gyökeres, Sancho, Ugarte, Højlund, and wanted us to sell Bruno for Baleba, the list goes on. You’d think they know better than the people that signed, Sesko, Mbeumo, Cunha, Lammens, Heavens & Dorgu.

So welcome to Manchester United, Ederson. Hopefully, you’ll make us proud.

Haco Industries Kenya Limited Managing Director Marianne Musangi says the company rebuilt itself after losing a Bic manufacturing licence in 2019 that had accounted for nearly 70% of its revenue, pivoting to African consumer brands and sourcing raw materials from Egypt, Tunisia, Uganda and Ghana. 

The company has since launched manufacturing in Ghana through an African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat-certified partnership, reducing import duties from 15% to 5%. Musangi flagged logistics costs along the Nairobi–Lusaka corridor, where road freight runs between US$3,500 and US$7,000 per container, and Kenya's industrial electricity cost of $0.18 per unit against Egypt's $0.03 as key competitiveness barriers.

Jeff Bezos reveals why he refuses to make a single important decision before 10am:

"I like to putter in the morning. I like to read the newspaper. I like to have coffee. I like to have breakfast with my kids before they go to school. My puttering time is very important to me. That's why I set my first meeting at 10 o'clock"

"I like to do my high IQ meetings before lunch. Anything that's going to be really mentally challenging, that's a 10 o'clock meeting. Because by 5pm, I'm like, I can't think about that today. Let's try this again tomorrow at 10am"

"As a senior executive, what do you really get paid to do? You get paid to make a small number of high quality decisions. If I make three good decisions a day, that's enough. Warren Buffett says he's good if he makes three good decisions a year"
