@clinton_obioma@lotagodd@idofoi Why must he do the job of his opponents? Why must he advocate for his opponents?
Why won't you be interested in the failure of your opponent to gain advantage?
Are you this uneducated and wise?
When west Africa is ready , they know what to do.
West Africa produce 60% of the world’s cocoa beans.
Why can’t Nigeria, Ivory coast and Ghana form a regional cocoa commodity market?
Why can’t there be an intra regional policy on value addition ?.
@ennyola0015 Data children will be tweeting like they have first hand information about what's happening, meanwhile they are just tweeting from a random WhatsApp directory
@ruffydfire Anatomyjournalist too is talking. A kettle mocking pot of having a black yansh. How many books did governor of Edo read, but can't we see his work?. O fi ise zoo sile, o lo nsise onise
@Cicerorian_@woye1 Your reasons for not wanting to pay income tax are the most stupid, because you paid for vehicle licence and road worthiness
Criminal thinking enabled by poor governance. If govt had made example with thieves like you by jailing you for theft, you won't be saying rubbish
Almost every week, I receive an unsolicited proposal from someone that wants to “tech” real estate or that has one “tech solution” to real estate - whether in procurement, construction or management.
Used to respond but started ignoring at some point. I don’t bother to read most. I read some if they meet me at a good place.
Some of the proposed solutions are things simple Excel or one junior staff can do for me. Some are exaggeration and complication of simple process. Why do you want to complicate such a simple and straightforward process in the name of “tech-ing” it for me?
I’m still a traditional businessman. Don’t complicate things for me in the name of forced tech-ing. I no be illiterate myself. If the current processes are working (& even economic), why fix what is not broken?
If you have funds and are looking to invest in Africa today, consider value addition.
That’s where the real money is.
What Africa needs at the moment is processing factories that convert raw materials into finished goods.
We have enough farms, but raw materials are wasting away due to a lack of proper processing facilities.
A processing factory that can produce high-quality goods and compete with imported products will make a huge difference in the economy.
Take cassava, for example.
Africa is the largest producer of cassava in the world, yet we import several cassava-based products, including starch and sorbitol.
These products can be manufactured locally if we invest in processing factories.
By doing so, we would reduce dependency on imports, create jobs, and increase the value of our agricultural sector.
Imagine the impact of having multiple factories processing cassava into various products for both local and international markets.
Farmers would have a reliable market for their produce, reducing post-harvest losses and increasing their income.
The economy would benefit from more employment opportunities, especially for youth and women.
We would also strengthen our local industries and become more self-sufficient.
Value addition is the future of agribusiness in Africa.
Agriculture alone is not enough—we must transform raw materials into valuable products that can compete globally.
The demand is already there.
What’s missing is the investment in infrastructure and technology to process what we produce.
If we focus on building processing factories, we will not only improve food security but also position Africa as a key player in global trade.
Agriculture is more than just farming—it’s a complete value chain that includes production, processing, and marketing.
The more we invest in value addition, the more we empower farmers and boost the economy.
Now is the time to act.
If you’re thinking about investing, think processing.
Think about turning Africa’s raw materials into high-value products that can compete with imported goods.
The opportunities are endless, and the rewards are significant.
Agriculture is Africa’s strength, and value addition is the key to unlocking its full potential.
While I respect your viewpoint, I disagree with your stance on the state of emergency in Rivers State. President Tinubu’s decision was a response to severe instability and a breakdown in governance, necessitating swift action to restore order. The National Assembly’s ratification was in line with their constitutional duty, and the voice vote was a practical measure given the urgency of the situation.
The involvement of the military should not be seen as a threat to democracy, but rather as a necessary step to maintain peace in an unstable region. Exceptional measures are sometimes required to address extraordinary circumstances, and the current situation in Rivers State justifies such intervention. This is about ensuring stability, not undermining democratic values.
I understand that your concern relates to the Attorney General of the Federation’s comments. However, I urge you to respect the decisions of the Supreme Court, particularly when it rules against your party in the emir tussle. Failure to do so could have serious consequences.
European refiners watched their market dominance crumble.
Nigeria became a net exporter of jet fuel, naphtha, and fuel oil.
The global energy market shifted overnight.
And Dangote?
January 2024: The refinery roars to life.
By January 2025, processing 500,000 barrels daily, shipping to:
Europe, Brazil, UK, the US, Singapore & South Korea
Even Saudi Aramco buys their jet fuel.
The location was pure swampland.
Not a single road, port, or power line existed.
Dangote had to build everything from zero, including a deep-sea port, 30km of roads, power plants & water facilities
The real challenges were just beginning...
Building Africa's largest refinery wouldn't be easy––he needed:
• 6,511 acres of land
• $23 billion in funding
• 65 million cubic meters of sand
• New infrastructure from scratch
And this is what made it truly insane:
Let me paint you a picture:
2013. Oil prices are soaring. Nigeria, Africa's largest oil producer, can't refine its own oil.
Instead, they're spending billions importing refined products from Europe.
Most saw a problem. Aliko Dangote saw an opportunity.
The richest man in Africa gambled $23 billion on building ONE oil refinery.
Everyone laughed...
But 11 years later, he DOUBLED his net worth in 1 year.
Now he processes 500,000 barrels of oil daily.
How Aliko Dangote changed global energy markets forever:🧵
