Record high tanker rates due to the Iran war are filtering into the core financials of major traders.

This small line at the bottom of Shell's Q3 trading update is extremely interesting - my understanding is that @Shell has had to increase the value of a number of tankers it leases on its balance sheet, due to the record high freight rates we've hit in recent months.

We're talking several billion dollars, according to my understanding, enough to dent Shell's net debt in a quarter that generated tonnes of cash flow.

This is just one small example of how the Mideast conflict is having deep and long-lasting impact on how the oil and gas markets operate.

OPay’s revenue grew from $197.5m to $467.1m in a year. That’s a 136.5% jump.

But here’s the interesting part: loan financing revenue grew 168% YoY, reaching $236.1m in H1 2026.

Is OPay primarily a payments company anymore, or is lending becoming its real growth engine?

What would you be watching ahead of its proposed IPO?

Introducing RustGIS v0.1.0, the first release!

RustGIS is a fast, free and open-source GIS in pure Rust for mapping, analyzing and sharing geospatial data. It runs natively on Windows, macOS and Linux, and in your web browser. Your data stays on your machine unless you send it to an AI model you choose, and every action is a command you can script.

This first release brings a full desktop GIS with a familiar ribbon, over 1,000 geoprocessing tools, and an AI Assistant that works the map for you.

What it does

- Your data, any map: GeoJSON, CSV, Shapefile, GeoParquet, Flatgeobuf, PMTiles, GeoTIFF and COG, web tiles, vector tiles and MapLibre styles, on a 3D globe or in any projection.
- Cartography and layouts: thematic symbology, collision-free labels, page layouts, map series, PDF export, reports and presentations.
- Analysis: overlay and proximity tools, guided workflows, ModelBuilder, and 1,000+ GeoLibre and Whitebox tools for terrain, hydrology and LiDAR, even in the browser.
- Editing: snapping, templates, domains and attribute rules, with undo for every change.
- AI Assistant: ask questions or give instructions in plain language, using the model you choose (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama and more).
- Scriptable and extensible: run any command from the command line, and add tools with sandboxed WebAssembly plugins.
- Ready to install: Windows installers, a signed macOS app, Linux .deb, .rpm and AppImage, and 15 interface languages.

A now 33-year-old woman was imprisoned by the Nigerian Army for 12 years because her husband — not her — was suspected of wrongdoing. She is out now, but the world she left behind no longer exists. Her son has died, and her daughter, Hafsah, is seemingly missing. Where is Hafsah?

This is how our western colleagues compare Revolut and Nubank with their peers.

You don’t see them comparing Revolut with JP Morgan or Barclays.

This methodology creates a more accurate reporting that can be easily referenced and measured.

Stop comparing Opay with banks.

[Notadeepdive @readnotadeepdve]

It's not a perfect comparison, but OPay has more monthly users than ALL of Nigeria's top banks.

Technical moats are mostly over at this point. If you’re building something that is meant to be durable, the only moats now are:

• Proprietary data
• Network effects
• A physical component

They won’t do any coastal road. They just want to connect their businesses along the Lekki-VI corridor and make some money while at it.

This idea that subsidies are totally abhorrent does not track sha. Govt can choose to subsidize an amenity as important as fuel for its citizens. The problem is you people can't figure out how to do it without corruption.

[Fintech is Easy @fintechiseasy]

Our Read: OPay looks like a payments app, but most of its money comes from lending and float.

Loan interest, loan facilitation fees and interest on invested customer savings were 70% of H1 2026 revenue.

After credit losses, lending still delivers about half of contribution.
