Starting an agency is no small feat. David Ogilvy's timeless insights have been a compass for many, including myself. Every founder should absorb his wisdom—it's gold for building a strong foundation. Watch this gem! #AgencyLife #MarketingMasterclass https://t.co/mzSdNdvXiA

Congratulations to the delegation of #Togo 🇹🇬 and the Africa Group on the adoption this morning by the #UNGA of resolution A/80/L.104, “Correct the Map.”

First endorsed by the African Union Assembly in February and officially passed at the United Nations today, this @_AfricanUnion initiative marks a historic step toward accurate and equitable global cartographic representation.

For centuries, the Mercator projection distorted global geography, shrinking Africa to the size of Greenland when our continent is actually 14 times larger. Today’s resolution promotes equal-area maps like Equal Earth across classrooms, media, and international institutions ensuring the world map finally reflects Africa’s true scale, weight, and place in the world.

Tell me why they were voting against this? A very weird administration of racists.

[Bibi @Bheejou]

I’m still looking.

[Carlos Lopes @LopesInsights]

164 votes in favour! 🌍🗺️ This is an emotional day for me. After making this case in three books and countless contributions over many years, the world has finally agreed: Africa must be seen in its true size. We did it! ✊🏾🎉

NNPC has four refineries across the country and controls an extensive nationwide network of pipelines and depots, an infrastructure far more robust than Dangote’s reliance on road tankers.

NNPC is also an oil producer, with direct and preferential access to crude oil, an advantage Dangote does not have.

If, despite these structural and institutional advantages, NNPC is unable to compete effectively, then the issue is not Dangote or an imagined monopoly.

A state-backed oil giant with superior assets should not be outperformed by a private refinery unless something is fundamentally broken.

Agree. Dangote is fighting because they want to destroy his investment. He has fought many battles on this refining business.

1. Obasanjo sold the Port Harcourt refinery to him. NNPC staff protested.

2. YarAdua took back the refinery from him

3. Dangote spent $20 billion of his own money to build a brand new refinery.

4. Then, this same NMDSRA issued a statement that Dangote's refined products were sub-standard. This was later proven to be false.

5. Then NNPC refused to supply him crude oil. He turned to the USA to source his crude oil and continues to import from them till this day.

6. Then PBAT ordered NNPC to start supplying him crude oil and to accept naira payment. NNPC was unhappy.

7. Suddenly, NUPENG and PENGASSEN ganged up, claiming Dangote is a monopolist, because he is refusing them the old practice of toll collection of N5m per truck while loading products.

8. Dangote called their bluff and decided to buy his own CNG tankers, 2000 of them.

9. NUPENG and PENGASSEN then declared a strike action demanding that Dangote staff must be allowed to join their union.

10. Smelling a rat, Dangote asked all staff to indicate if they wanted to join PENGASSEN. 800 staff signed. Dangote sacked them all, claiming 22 incidents of sabotage detected in the refinery, including unexplained fire incidents.

11. NUPENG and PENGASSEN again went on strike.

12. NASS intervened and begged Dangote to rehire the 800 staff. Dangote took the staff back, but sent them to cement factories, far away from his $20 billion refinery.

13. Today, Dangote's refinery is working producing PMS, diesel, aviation fluid, fertilizers etc. He is exporting to USA, Asia and other African countries, earning FOREX.

14. Yet, Ahmed Farouk insists on spending our inadequate FOREX earnings to import PMS in order to keep refineries in Europe in business. Now we know why this is so. Obviously, he is receiving kick backs. He will rather do that than support a local investment. If this is not economic sabotage, what is it?

15. Clearly, Dangote and Bua who are locked in a healthy competition are contributing to our economic renaissance.

Saboteurs like Ahmed Farouk must be stopped. They are spending our FOREX while Dangote is generating FOREX for the country.

16. May God deliver this country from cankerworms.🤔

#CongoDR truly deserved this ticket, this was a masterclass on Substitutios and Game management #NGADRC

[Mr Barry @Mr_AyLee]

Iwobi, Lookman, Chukwueze, and Ndidi dey gba nonesense.

[zzy @zzynero]

Lookman, Chukwueze, Iwobi all rubbish in this game. Better game next half please!

[Tobechi @_EngrTee]

Get Iwobi and Lookman off!

[Babatunde @Tuneshman]

When Iwobi passes, does he sometimes hope that the ball penetrates through the body of an opponent?

[Amb Anointing 🪔 📊 @Expert_Closer]

Please oo..

What exactly is IWOBI good for?

Man can't run to save his life.
He can't pass.
He can't shoot!!

Man, I'm so tired watching this guy on this pitch. He should just retire at this point. What an eye sore!!

In my opinion, there’s no greater tragedy than a curious mind surrounded by people unmoved by the very things/ideas that make it come alive.
