“We launched the refinery in 2013, and for five years we had issues with the land. Everything was being blocked by the oil mafia. We had to build our own port because no port in the country could handle the heavy equipment. We also had to build a harbour, roads, and a water system with a capacity of 440 million litres. Our water facility alone covers more than 30 hectares.”

I was in a queue at a POS stand in Lagos when a little boy, maybe 10 years old, walked up.
He handed the agent ₦500 and said, “Aunty, help me send it to my mummy.”
The agent asked, “Where is your mummy dey?”
He replied, “Hospital.”
Everyone went quiet.
She asked again, “Why did you not go with her?”
The boy looked down and said,
“The doctor said they won’t touch her until we bring money.”
Nobody spoke for a few seconds.
Then the woman behind me stepped forward and said,
“How much do they need?”
Before you knew it, strangers started contributing.
That day, I realised something:
In Nigeria, people are struggling, but they still show up for one another.
16-year-old Nigerian sensation Jared Ejiasan has shattered the U18 World Record in the 60m hurdles, clocking a stunning 7.43s. 🇳🇬🔥
Though he lived in France, he chose to represent Nigeria — and he’s already making history.
