Hello, history rewriter, GET DOWN!

Dangote refinery was majorly built by Nigerians. Why do people like you have such a penchant for lying and downplaying black people’s efforts and achievements?

In this interview, Dangote mentioned “We realized that we had to build our own port, after building the port, we realize that nobody could supply us with cranes 🏗️ ,equipments, we had to do something that people didn’t realize, we now made ourselves as the EPC contractors, which is Engineering, Procurement and Construction”

In another interview, he mentioned that the majority of the Nigerian engineers who built his refinery were later employed abroad (somewhere in the UAE) to build another refinery.

For most of history, mate selection wasn't this open-ended personal project. It was constrained by family, geography, religion, class, social pressure. The pool was small, criteria were clear, and timeline was short. You didn't spend a decade 'finding your person.' You chose from a narrow set of viable options and moved forward and figured it out.

Modern dating removed all of those contraints.

Now the pool is enormous and the criteria are ambiguous and timeline is indefinite. So people keep searching and searching. They keep optimizing. They keep wondering if someone better is one swipe away.

That's where the psychic energy goes.

A fascinating thing about the economy is everyone thinks other people's labor should be dirt cheap but that their own labor should be very expensive

Saying good gestures are the ‘barest minimum’ is to eradicate the actions of ‘gratitude’. It’s not a good trait.

@Etioba_ This idea that "connections" is a Nigerian thing is false though. Lol ... Just don't offend the wrong people in the UK or even the US. Good luck to everyone.

A union president said, “It’s our money.” But if Dangote somehow defaults on his loans, then it is his gbese.

This is one of the unique parts of entrepreneurship: your success belongs to many people, but your failure is yours alone.

The Bible speaks of the purity of the church with the utmost gravity. The New Testament is filled with urgent calls for the purity of God’s people. The church of Christ must be pure - free from sin and defilement - for this is how God envisioned His people to be.

The apostle John states one purpose of his first epistle plainly: ‘so that you will not sin’ (1 John 2:1). He spoke as one who understood God’s will for His people - that they live lives free from sin.

Paul, in Titus 2:14, tells us that Christ ‘gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his own, eager to do what is good’.

There is an ethical, moral purpose to our redemption. We were not only rescued from the penalty of sin, but from sin itself. Not only were we saved from eternal punishment, but also from our own sinfulness.

Redemption is not merely forensic or judicial; redemption is a real, decisive separation from sin that results in newness of life.

Christ redeemed us not so we could remain in sin, but so we could be purified - set apart from our former ways - so that our lives reflect the holiness of the One who bought us with His blood.

The church, therefore, is a holy nation, a people redeemed by Christ from sin to ‘produce a harvest of good deeds for God’ (Rom 7:4).

So, when the church embraces sin, it loses its distinctiveness and becomes unrecognizable. A church that settles into a pattern of sinning stands in direct contradiction to the redemptive work of Christ.

The church of Christ is made up of people cleansed from sin for God’s purposes. This is why moral laxity has no place among God’s people.

It is no surprise, then, that the apostles pressed the church with urgent, uncompromising calls to holiness.

Paul urged the Corinthians: ‘Let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God’ (2 Cor 7:1).

James calls sin ‘filth’ when he says, ‘Get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent…’ (James 1:21).

Peter adds: ‘Rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind’ (1 Pet 2:1).

The point is clear: we are not called to lay aside some works of darkness, but all of them.

This isn’t about sinless perfection, but a life of full commitment to holiness - constantly putting off sin, striving to please God, and becoming more and more like Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Throughout the New Testament, there is a ringing call for the moral purity of the church. No apostle minced words about it or shied away from it. We must be able to speak freely about God’s non-negotiable demand for the holiness of His people, just like the apostles did.

We must be able to declare God’s will as authoritatively as Paul did when he told the Thessalonians, ‘For this is God’s will: that you become holy’ (1 Thess 4:3), or as Peter did when he said, ‘But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do’ (1 Pet 1:15).

This is not legalistic preaching. It is apostolic doctrine at its core. Paul in 1 Thessalonians even warns that the Lord will punish all those who practice sexual immorality (v. 6), and then concludes with a sobering thought: ‘For God did not call us to impurity but in holiness’ (v. 7).

The Christian life is a calling from God, and it is not a call to impurity, but to holiness.

The One who called us is holy, so we must reflect His holiness in all we do.

The church must see sin for what it is - evil, vile, and destructive - and have nothing to do with it.

The church of Christ must be pure.

Rules of waking up to pee at night:

1. Never open your eyes fully, only about 20%.
2. Never turn on the lights.
3. If someone speaks to you, never reply, just mumble.

This is how you go back to sleep immediately. Thank me later 😌

The notion that developing countries can bypass manufacturing — and leap straight to services instead — ignores how every major economy actually developed.
