Dangote Refinery has just been valued at $39.1 billion.
That number came from its private placement, a quiet sale of shares to big investors before the company ever reaches the stock market.
In simple terms, one refinery is now worth more than nearly every company on the Nigerian stock exchange added together, apart from the very biggest names.
They set out to raise $1 billion. Reports say over $2 billion is already chasing it.
The entry ticket? $350,000 minimum, and your money stays locked for one full year. This round is strictly big money.
The rest of us wait for the IPO, the day ordinary people can finally buy in. Whenever that day comes, the Nigerian market will never look the same.
Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature:
“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.”
The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.
