Oil is still the new oil. Let no one be deceived, strait of hormuz got closed and all of a sudden the West forgot they were preaching clean energy and were even forcing Africa to abandon oil the same way they made her abandon coal... Now we have embraced importation of food...
Dangote has done agriculture, did oil… and now he is entering something big.
For a long time, people have been asking: Will Dangote ever invest in tech?
Because if AI is the new oil, then one question matters: Who will pull the kind of capital needed to power it in Africa?
Not startups. Not VCs.
Someone who understands infrastructure at scale.
And suddenly, this news drops: Dangote is looking at data centres.
Now it makes sense.
Because Dangote has never really been about “businesses.” He builds systems countries depend on.
Cement — you can’t build without him.
Fertiliser — you can’t farm efficiently without him.
Refinery — you can’t power an economy without him.
So this move into data?
It’s not tech hype.
It’s infrastructure thinking.
Because data centres are not just buildings with servers. They are the engine rooms of AI, fintech, cloud computing, and digital economies.
Right now, Africa runs on digital platforms… …but the backbone is mostly outside Africa.
We use it. We pay for it. We depend on it.
But we don’t control it.
That’s the gap.
And Dangote entering this space means one thing: Someone is finally thinking about digital sovereignty at scale.
If he goes in the same way he entered cement or refinery, then we’re not talking about small plays.
We’re talking about:
Hyperscale data centres
Local hosting for fintech and banks
Infrastructure for AI growth
Thousands of high-value tech jobs
This is how ecosystems shift.
Because real power is not just in building apps…
It’s in owning the infrastructure those apps run on.
So this is not just “Dangote entering tech.”
This is: The man who helped build Africa’s physical backbone
…now positioning for its digital backbone.
And if you understand his pattern…
You’ll know this is not the beginning of a trend.
It’s the beginning of dominance.
@Naija_farmers You have to fence your immovable crops in your farm on your own land from being destroyed by a herder who ought to operate in a ranch.
How does it make sense that you ranch the immovable while free the movable to destroy. The things we see as farmers. More grace is all I can say.
I reached out to @nimetnigeria for the predictions for the year 2026 so I can break it down for farmers.
I showed them what I did last year and how it helped people
They asked me to pay 500k for the document.
Make I pay money for free work when they supposed pay me.
Lol
I am 50 Years Old Today!
Our Lives Tell Our Stories, Our Ages Invoke Memories and Remind us That We are The Sons and Daughters of Our Ancestors!
As I Cross This Milestone and Prepare For The Second Half of My Life, I am Thankful to My Ancestors For The Life Lived. Defiantly Committed to Whatever is Left to Live For and Insanely Positive That What Comes Next Will Be Beautiful and Great!
Special Thank To The Family and All Those Who Have Been a Pillar To Me For The Past 50years!
May Our Ancestors Be Praised For Getting Me to The 50th Floor!
@RetsonTedheke01 Congratulations sir, may you always continue in the path of truth and reasoning. Thank you for what you do here, I personally look forward to reading your daily tweets and they've been more of a blessing than information.Thank you and may our ancestors continually watch over you.
@Naija_farmers This story represent the Nigerian farmer and the importation of subsidized food. At the long run both the farmer and the government (the people) will eventually dié.
@charlesaniagolu How do you get to real-time electronic transmission of results when you don't get the results electronically? We like empty conversations in this country.
Medical Twitter: All these online herbalist giving natural remedy are dangerous, what they're sharing is p0lson. Don't do it.
When Snake bite you, go to the hospital.
Hospital: We don't have anti-vemom for this patient
Patient Dies.
Med Twitter: Our Govt is terrible.
Yoruba will say - If you've seen Sango vex, anytime they're insulting Sango you'll run with your two legs.
Who is in pain and at the verge of death just wants to survive either locally or scientifically.
What we should advise people is use any remedy with care & caution.
You ask people to go to the nearest health center, but no anti-vemom, how do you suppose people survive that incident.
Our elders say - The hen eats something before Maize was introduced to Nigeria.
Snake is not a new thing, how did our fathers cure snake bites? Let's not rule out indigenous medicine bcs we have received scientific knowledge.
The two should go hand in hand esp in this situation where there's deficit of scientific solution.
Med Twitter make una allow us breathe!
Don't suffocate the herbalist!
@NFGCSFarmEstate Grapevine Cluster is Speaking Loud and Clear.
Plantation is How Nigeria Farmers Succeed. Plantations Help Farmers Overcome the Challenges of Short to Medium Term Pains That Must Come.
Whatever you are Doing, Plant an Economic Tree Now. It is the only way, you are certain about Recover.
Nigeria Must Farm For Nigeria to Work!
Troops of the Joint Task Force, Operation Whirl Stroke, have arrested two herders accused of trespassing on community farmlands and destroying crops during a routine harvest-season patrol in Makurdi, Benue State.
The incident occurred on November 20, 2025, when troops deployed at Zongo Akiki intercepted the herders after they allegedly led their cattle into cultivated farmlands belonging to local residents.
In a statement signed on Tuesday, the spokesperson for the operation, Lieutenant Ahmad Zubairu, said, “In a sustained effort to protect farmers and guarantee food security during the peak of the harvest season, troops of Operation Whirl Stroke have arrested two herders who were found trespassing and destroying crops on a community farmland in Makurdi, Benue State.
“The vigilant troops intercepted the two herders after they reportedly led their cattle into cultivated farmlands belonging to local residents, resulting in damage to crops.

@dipoaina1 First step: Ban and criminalise open grazing.
Second step: declare anyone found in any forest in Nigeria as "Enemy of the State" once he/she doesn't have the permit to be there hence should be shot at sight.
Third step: pursue full autonomy for the six geopolitical zones.
