Dangote just rejected NNPC’s request to buy more shares in his refinery, an asset analysts now value at $40 to $50 billion. This is the same NNPC that paid $1 billion for 7.25% in 2021, then walked away from an option to grab another 12.75%. That missed option would be worth roughly $5 to $6 billion today. Meanwhile, the refinery’s IPO opens to the public between June and July 2026, with dividends payable in naira or US dollars, backed by $6.4 billion in projected export earnings. NNPC lost their seat at the table. Nigerians are about to be offered one.

@MushtaqBilalPhD The reviewers at least should be paid. What then is the benefit of reviewing?

Major academic publishers' revenue and what they pay authors and reviewers: Revenue: Elsevier: $3.9 billion Springer Nature: $2 billion Wolters Kluwer: $1.6 billion Wiley: $1.8 billion Taylor & Francis: $800 million Sage: $500 million They pay: Authors: $0 Reviewers: $0

@utdreport To be frank, I have noticed some massive improvements in the few games Ugarte has featured lately. I think he will have a good game.

#mufc XI vs Leeds: Lammens; Mazraoui, Yoro, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Ugarte, Fernandes (c); Amad, Cunha, Sesko

Making Decisions at Critical Times In life, there are many critical moments when we have to take decisions that may have far-reaching implications. There was a time I was faced with such a moment in my career.

Certainly, not all games will be like this, but it would have been nice for Amorim to come and watch some great football at Old Trafford.

This is one of the best "How I met your Mother" I've ever heard 😭😭

Football is the most beautiful sport. Regardless of our passion and differences... Humanity always comes first in football. One of my boss said one time - you're not a good person if you don't love football. Compliment of the season 🥳

@AskMichaelTaiwo Easy to say "No" when it hasn't happened to you. I realized time helps to heal though especially if you are in a better place.

Someone hurt you to rise up. In no short time, you are now in a position to do the same, but your vengeance would be more significant. Would you return the hurt?

@DrJoeAbah @toplevl Greetings Dr. Pls be mindful of copyright infringements if you are in specific regions. Some countries don't support free or illegal livestream of football games.

@toplevl Fantastic! Thank you. I’ll let you know if it works.

Please how can I stream the Arsenal match on my laptop? Do I need to pay?

Waiting for Christmas...

Carols and Christmas. #awarmchristmas with some interesting versions of carols in Nigerian languages.

This guy landed a foreign client without Upwork, Fiverr, or LinkedIn for 4 years. He found them on Slack. Now he works from home, gets paid in dollars, and teaches the same method to others. Here’s exactly how he did it (and how you can too): 🧵

@ogar_monday @asemota Very well. I am from Cross River.

@Emmydonidu @asemota Sorry bro, are you from Cross River. Your second name is sort of my family name.

But without those salary earners, Odogwu wouldn't have a market. If we are all traders, where will the income to buy come from? I hate all these skits.

@themoneyafrica As it stands, a single person can't even survive on N300k in a month, not to think of family men I know who earn N30k.

What’s the lowest salary you’ve ever heard someone earn… and you genuinely wondered how they’re surviving in this economy? 😩

@asemota I wonder why the Union is not thinking of the fact that for the first time in a long while the nation now hosts a working refinery. Which should rather make them consider a far more measured approach to issues being raised. Can we learn to think better?

There is the current brouhaha over PENGASSAN and Dangote, and the union is going scorched earth. While I recognize that this path poses a danger to capitalism and investments, it serves as a wake-up call for us to understand that we collectively need to build safety nets.

I don’t think people realize how easy it is to grow old and have the world change on you, leaving you without safety nets while you seem to have been doing everything right. My two parents, who were civil servants, and their experiences before retirement, profoundly changed me.
