The tears of a woman on her wedding day is a mere ritualistic practice and has nothing necessarily to do with the internal state of her heart.

If for anything, she is secretly rejoicing that she is leaving her father’s house. Father and husband no be thesame.

My sisters cried when getting married. But after marriage, no sooner than they arrive home, do they wish to return back to their husband’s houses.😂

As for the men, the real home is where your parents are. While Your mother is your key to paradise, your father ensures you enter in peace.

DANGOTE FIRST BUILT A CONSTRUCTION COMPANY TO BUILD DANGOTE REFINERY - Not many Nigerians know that Dangote has to first build a full-scale construction company, before he built the refinery?

Yes, you read that right.

Dangote literally built a full scale construction company to construct the refinery.

If that's not just business brilliance, what else is.

Now let me explain the brilliance in Dangote's move.

When Aliko Dangote announced his plan to build Africa’s largest oil refinery, many assumed he would contract foreign construction giants, the usual suspects from China, France, or the U.S.

But if you understand how this man thinks, you’ll know he doesn’t outsource destiny.

He knew something most entrepreneurs never grasp:

"You can’t build world-class infrastructure in Nigeria without first building the infrastructure to build it."

So what did he do?

He built the foundation before the refinery.

He established Dangote Projects Limited, a fully equipped construction company under the Dangote Industries umbrella, designed to handle everything from civil works to mechanical installations.

But it didn’t stop there.

To build that refinery, he had to first build the world around it.

Because in Nigeria, the challenge is never just the project, it’s the infrastructure that supports the project.

There were no roads strong enough to carry refinery equipment.

There was no consistent power supply to sustain construction.

The ports couldn’t handle the massive cargo.

So Dangote did what great industrialists do, he built everything he needed himself.

He built a 435-megawatt power plant to generate electricity for the refinery, fertilizer plant, and even parts of the surrounding communities.

He built internal roads, bridges, and a deep-sea port (the Lekki Port Access Jetty) to bring in heavy equipment.

He trained over 30,000 Nigerian engineers, welders, and technicians, turning skill scarcity into a local advantage.

He imported and owned over 2,000 heavy-duty construction machines, ensuring no delay from third-party contractors.

That’s not a businessman, that’s an industrial architect.

Dangote understood that to build a project of this magnitude in Nigeria, you must first control your ecosystem, from power to logistics to construction.

IT'S HIGH TIME WE CALL A CONFERENCE OF INTELLECTUALS NOT THAT OF ETHNIC NATIONALITIES TO BRAINSTORM ON WHERE OUR PROBLEM IS AND MAP OUT THE WAY FORWARD. THIS IS NOT ABOUT APC OR PDP OR ADC AGAIN. THIS IS NATIONAL DISASTER THAT NEEDS NATIONAL EMERGENCY TO BE DECLARED ON THE ENTIRE COUNTRY

Now terrorists have come and opened fire in Jos, killing both Muslims and Christians. But instead of investigating who these terrorists are, you immediately point fingers at your neighbor, someone you’ve spent years with in the market and at work, someone who may never have even given you a hostile look. You pick up a weapon and go to his house, or wait for him on the road, intending to kill him.

And when people talk about extremists or terrorists, you distance yourself, assuming it must only be Boko Haram? The truth is, many people in this country are extremists, both Muslims and Christians. They are just waiting for an opportunity, a small opening, to unleash violence, especially when they feel a sense of legitimacy.

Since Trump said he would come to protect Christians in Nigeria, Christian extremists have become more emboldened. There has been inciting rhetoric on social media and a growing appetite for conflict. Just in recent days, I’ve seen posts on TikTok where people vow to fight or even kill Muslims over an attack whose perpetrators are still unknown.

Honestly I'm impressed

Rather than focusing and putting all there energy into fighting each other or campaigning for political office holders i think this would be much better.

I hope our mosques and imams will emulate this and be conducting series of lectures on medical ethics, financial literacy, matrimonial responsibility, youth development and guidance, education and lots of other topics that we need to know more about.

"I went to school when Goodluck Jonathan was President. That was during Nigeria's economic boom. Yet, I saw people struggle to pay N12k for school fees. I saw people come to school with N2k, N5k as pocket money. Some came with foodstuff and "remember the home you came from."

Flight to Benin was between N12k to N18k. I usually went to school, filling the biggest travelling box with provision, and it cost me N30k to do that. My pocket money was between N25 to N30k and it was sufficient. I was feeding my friends in hostel and was named most generous person in the hostel. I went to a to secondary school with children of the rich, so I already knew the other reality of life. What I was seeing in UNIBEN was a far cry. To do everything I listed above today, you need over 500k because this government has plunged us into darkness.

Now, in 2026, when our lives should have significantly improved from the progress made by the GEJ government, we went from the clueless Buhari to k!eller of hope Tinubu. Exchange rate is over the roof. Flight is exorbitant. Feeding is a luxury. School fees is out of the reach of two income household. People are dy!ng daily because they cant afford health care. The government is taxing people to d£ath. Yet, we have cl0wns defending the cost of living in a country that minimum wage is N70k.

Meanwhile, the money released for health care of 200m people was N36 million naira. NNPC stole N210 Trillion but it is the masses that should be taxed to raise money and the masses that should have to endure economic hardship and pay exorbitant fee to get the available po0r quality education. Today, people are paying above 100k to 500k for public education. Nons£nse!

I am very convinced you people defending this are m@d and with all due disrespect, you're very m@d........"

Influencer, Wizarab, has stirred debate online after sharing a lengthy post comparing Nigeria’s current economic situation to the period when Goodluck Jonathan was in power.

Aliko Dangote has unveiled plans to build Africa’s largest detergent feedstock plant within the Dangote Refinery complex.

The new facility will produce 400,000 tonnes of Linear Alkyl Benzene annually, enough to meet the continent’s entire demand.

The project is expected to be completed in 30 months and highlights the refinery’s evolution into a broader industrial hub.

This move will reduce Africa’s reliance on imported detergent raw materials and deepen Nigeria’s petrochemical footprint.

The collective power of the people is greater than those who think they hold power....omoleye sowore

JUST IN: Tinubu Sacks IGP Egbetokun, Names Tunji Disu as New Police Boss

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the removal of the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, in a major leadership change within the Nigeria Police Force.

The decision, announced on Tuesday, brings an end to Egbetokun’s tenure, which had been surrounded by controversy and public debate over his continued stay in office and alleged administrative challenges within the force.

To fill the vacancy, the President appointed Tunji Disu, a senior officer known for his experience in operations and criminal investigations. Disu previously headed key formations, including the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex in Lagos.

Sources within the police hierarchy said the development sparked mixed reactions, with many officers reportedly welcoming the change and expressing hope that the new leadership will focus on discipline, professionalism, and reforms.

Security analysts believe the reshuffle signals the Federal Government’s renewed effort to strengthen internal security, rebuild public trust, and improve the overall performance of the police.

More details are expected from the Presidency and the Police headquarters regarding the official handover process.

In 1997, a 34-year-old man bought a dying bank. He turned it around in seven months.

Eight years later, he merged it with one of Nigeria's oldest banks. Today, that bank is worth over N2 trillion.

His name is Tony Elumelu. And this is how he did it.

Tony Elumelu was 34 years old. Most people his age were still trying to figure life out. Meanwhile, he was about to buy a bank. Big boy purchase kind of thing.

Oga Tony didn't go for just any bank oh. He went for a collapsing bank. Motivation surplus for bros. Crystal Bank Limited was technically insolvent, broke and finished. The kind of bank where customers were running away and staff were updating their CVs. Unto say matter don red.

But Elumelu saw something nobody else saw. While others were looking at the losses, he was looking at the potential.

He bought it in 1997. Renamed it Standard Trust Bank (STB), and became one of Nigeria's youngest bank CEOs at 34.

People think say senior man don dey kolo. "Why would you buy a dead bank?"

Elumelu didn't answer them. He just went to work.

Within a short time after taking over, he and his team had transformed Crystal Bank from loss to profit.

But bros wasn't done. He had a bigger vision. While other banks were clustering in Lagos and Abuja, Elumelu took STB to places nobody wanted to go. Small towns in states that people ignored. He built branches where others saw no opportunity.

By 1999, when Nigeria returned to democracy, STB was already positioned to provide financial services to state and local governments across Nigeria. Something I call SIC. Strategic. Intentional. Calculated.

Within a few years, STB had become one of Nigeria's fastest-growing banks. From a collapsing bank to a powerhouse. All because one man saw what others couldn't see or were scared to execute.

But the real story starts in 2005.
The Central Bank of Nigeria had just mandated all banks to increase their capital base or merge with bigger banks. Smaller banks were panicking. Bigger banks were circling like vultures, looking for whom to swallow.

Elumelu made a move that shocked the entire banking industry.

Standard Trust Bank, the bank he had built from the ground up, merged with United Bank for Africa (UBA), one of Nigeria's biggest and oldest banks established in 1949 and incorporated in 1961.

This wasn't a small move oh. It was the largest merger in sub-Saharan African banking history at the time. Two giants becoming one. A balance sheet of over N600 billion. Over 2 million customers. Over 400 branches. E chokeeee. Money na 💦

On August 1, 2005, the new UBA was born and Tony Elumelu became the Group Managing Director.

Most people would have stopped there. Elumelu was just getting started.

He took UBA across Africa. Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Congo, Cote d'Ivoire, Gabon, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Uganda. Today, UBA operates in 20 African countries plus offices in London, Paris, New York, and Dubai.

From a single-country bank to Africa's global bank. In just a few years. Doings get levels normally.

Today, UBA's total assets are valued at over N31 trillion. Market cap over N2 trillion. Over 45 million customers worldwide. Over 25,000 employees.

The small dying bank Tony Elumelu bought in 1997 is now one of Africa's most valuable financial institutions.

Story don end.
