Up NEPA is a 50 year old problem

🚨 The world's largest oil trader just had its best year in history. While governments promised net zero and OPEC played politics one company was moving more energy than ever before. Vitol And read these numbers carefully: 💰 $343 billion in revenue 🛢️ 8 million barrels/day up from 7.2M in 2024 📈 LNG volumes +28% in a single year (18M → 23M metric tons) ⚫ 25.8M metric tons of coal moved in its first full year owning Noble Group ⚡ 4GW of renewable generation yes, at the same time Here's what the numbers are actually telling you: → Oil is not declining. It's accelerating. This isn't a plateau or a managed retreat. It's growth. → LNG is the real winner of geopolitical chaos. Europe and Asia scrambling for alternatives as the Middle East burns and Russian pipelines go dark = Vitol's best trade of the decade. → Coal didn't disappear. The world still needs it. Someone is still moving it. Vitol just made sure that someone was them. → The energy transition is real just not the way you've been sold it. Biofuels, BioLNG, plastics recycling alongside record fossil fuel volumes. Because that's what the actual demand curve requires, not what the press release says. When geopolitics strikes, energy doesn't leave the market. It gets rerouted, repriced, and arbitraged by the people who spent decades building the infrastructure, relationships, and balance sheet to do exactly that. Vitol is one of those people 🎯 💡 Want more analysis like this? Subscribe to my newsletter , link in bio

🌍 Africa holds the resources that will power the next 100 years Yet the wealth keeps leaving before Africans ever see it. 🛢️ Oil Nigeria, Angola, Algeria, Libya, Congo 🥇 Gold Mali, Ghana, Niger, Tanzania, Zimbabwe 🔴 Copper DR Congo & Zambia (the EV revolution runs through here) ☕ Cocoa, Coffee, Vanilla consumed by billions, priced by others The uncomfortable truth: 📌 DR Congo has 60%+ of global cobalt. It's one of the poorest nations on earth. 📌 The most coup-hit countries? All sitting on gold & oil. 📌 China, Russia, France & the US aren't in Africa for ideology they're there for what's underground. Africa doesn't have a resource problem. It has a who controls the resources problem🎯 💡 Subscribe to my newsletter for weekly breakdowns on commodities & geopolitics, link in my bio

Oil is down this morning based on the ceasefire talks. Congrats to whoever wanted prices slightly lower based on sentiment. #OOTT

🚨 1 TRILLION barrels of oil sit in just 5 countries War is now deciding which ones actually reach the market. 🛢️ Proven Reserves (billion barrels): 🇻🇪 Venezuela 303 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia 267 🇮🇷 Iran 209 🇨🇦 Canada 163 🇮🇶 Iraq 145 Here's what those numbers don't show 👇 🇻🇪 Venezuela back on the market with US backing. Sanctioned barrels are flowing again. 🇮🇷 Iran no longer just "restricted." Infrastructure hit. Hormuz under threat. 🔥 Saudi, UAE, Qatar the stable core of global supply is now inside the war zone. 🇨🇦 Canada oil sands can't react fast. Massive reserves. Slow response. The brutal truth: 📌 Reserves didn't change. 📌 Control, access, and risk did. Barrels in the ground mean nothing if they can't move. 🎯 💡 Subscribe to my newsletter for weekly energy & geopolitics breakdowns, link in my bio #oott #Geopolitics #Energy #Commodities

@BishopOneMagic @hadizabalausman @BayoAdelabu Hard to argue

I've said it over and over again for the past 2+ years that I do not know what @hadizabalausman's job is, if she has not given us a profile on ministerial performance since 2023! This man @BayoAdelabu has no business being in the cabinet. He's an abysmal failure!

Sustainable fuel supply requires stronger infrastructure and coordinated regional action. 🗞️Page 9 of Today's Business & Financial Times #CBOD #EnergySecurity #BFTFeature @bftghana @AcepPower @CopecGh @NPAGhana @comacghana @energy_chamber

I will never forget this comment from a Sporting Lisbon fan when Manchester United signed Bruno Fernandes in 2020, and everything he said was exactly facts.

Africa is building new refineries to cut fuel imports and boost energy independence. Here are five projects reshaping the continent’s downstream sector. Read more.

Africa's oil refining capacity quietly but steadily declined over the last decade. Then, in a single year, one refinery changed the whole picture. The Dangote Refinery — Nigeria's 650k barrels per day (bpd) mega-refinery and the largest on the continent — commenced operations in 2024. The result: Nigeria's refining capacity roughly doubled to over 1M bpd. And Africa's total capacity jumped 20% to 3.5M bpd. The Dangote effect. But zoom out, and the story is more complicated: • Nigeria 🇳🇬 — from cautionary tale to potential refining hub. The country long notorious for being a major oil producer that imports virtually all its refined fuel is now rewriting that narrative. • South Africa 🇿🇦 — a structural collapse, not a cyclical dip. Capacity was cut in half following the closure of SAPREF and Engen. It won't recover without significant new investment. • Morocco 🇲🇦 — exited entirely. Its sole refinery, SAMIR, closed after accumulating $4B+ in debt. A decade later, the liquidation process is still tied up in courts. • Egypt & Algeria 🇪🇬 🇩🇿 — broadly flat across the decade but round out Africa's top three refiners, with Nigeria now leading the continent. The uncomfortable truth: strip out Dangote, and Africa's 2024 refining capacity was lower than it was in 2014. One refinery doing the work of an entire continent's decade of underinvestment. And just this week, that refinery began exporting fuel to Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Ghana, Togo, and Tanzania amidst disruptions from the US-Iran war. Things are looking up for Africa — in more ways than one. Angola plans to add some 300k bpd of refining capacity via greenfield projects, Lobito and Soyo. And the country’s Cabinda refinery is expected to begin commercial production this year, adding ~30k bpd in the first phase. Elsewhere, Zambia's 60k bpd Ndola refinery is also expected to begin commercial production this year. And Dangote plans to expand his refinery to 1.4M bpd by 2028. Today, Africa accounts for just 3.3% of global refining capacity despite sitting atop some of the world's largest oil reserves. But the next decade won't look like the last — especially if the Dangote effect becomes infectious. --- Afridigest Intelligence — real intelligence to win in Africa's growth markets: afridigest.com/intelligence

@IdongesitUduehe @SavvyRinu Done ke ? It’s till the grave for these ones o
