@DonaldBKipkorir Houthis have nothing to lose incase of escalation. Saudis on the other hand have everything to protect - pipeline, civilian infrastructure, oil fields...

Dangote Refinery attracted $3.7 billion in demand during its private placement, but accepted $2.5 billion to broaden African ownership.

The refinery plans to double capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day by 2029 and target up to 10 million shareholders.

A future NYSE listing is also being considered.

Money doesn't just buy things.

It buys time.
It buys choices.
It buys access.
It buys second chances.
That is why two people can make the same mistake and experience completely different consequences.

Two children can grow up in the same year and live completely different childhoods.

One worries about exams.

The other worries about food.

One is told to dream big.

The other is taught to survive.

We often underestimate how much childhood determines the adult someone becomes.

While many Kenyans complain about the tough economy and lack of money, Myspace Real Estate CEO Mwenda has acquired a Land Rover Defender worth KSh 23 million.

He says the vehicle is more than luxury. In business, what you drive can open conversations, create connections and get you into rooms where deals happen.

His love for Defenders also inspired Defender 254, a community for owners to network, travel and build business relationships.

For Mwenda, the KSh 23 million Defender is not just a car. It is part of his business networking strategy.
