Nigeria sells raw cocoa at $8,000 a tonne. Processed into butter it earns $48,000. Made into chocolate it earns $240,000. 30 times the money, yet Nigeria is still choosing $8,000.
the weird thing about reading so much as a child and gaining a huge vocabulary from that is i can't define a lot of the words i use, i just know that they would fit correctly in a specific sentence. does anyone else experience that?
The last time I was in Lagos I paid to enter a beach in Lekki.
Not a resort. Not a water park. A beach.
Sand. Water. A coastline that existed long before any of us were born.
Someone bought it. Fenced it. Put a gate on it. Now you pay to touch the ocean.
What kind of government sells its people access to nature?
Happy Democracy Day. 🇳🇬

How to create billions of dollars from air (space) $SPCX
Step 1:
Buy Twitter for $44B (Oct 2022), fire most staff, lose most ad revenue.
Step 2:
AI startup xAI “acquires" X for $125B - $1B cash generated, zero value created. (Mar 2025)
Step 3:
SpaceX "acquires" xAI at $250B -$1.25T combined valuation.
Nice 100% return in a year. (Feb 2026)
Step 4: List SpaceX at $1.75T, 4% float, get index inclusion rules changed, shorten lock-ups, let leveraged ETFs squeeze it higher. Increase valuation $500B in 4 months. (June 2026)
X stake now up 180%.
Financial engineering masterclass.
Step 5: Combine with Tesla.
“So you bought gold at $5.5k few months ago because you thought it could reach $8k?”
“Yes, Dave.”
“And now you want to sell it at $4.1k to buy the SpaceX IPO at a $1.77 trillion valuation because you think it can 10x?”
“That’s correct, Dave.”
