I often joke that I have only ever had one job. What I rarely mention is that, in my early thirties, I was building two businesses simultaneously. Not long after the Unipetrol acquisition, a small group of us saw the opportunity to apply for a GSM license. From 8:00am to 8:00pm, I focused on growing the energy business. The nights, starting from 8:00pm, belonged to telecoms. Seven of us worked until 2:00am daily, refining the bid, aligning partners, and preparing for an outcome that was far from guaranteed. We won that license, launched, and later exited. Today, that telecom company is known as Airtel. What's the lesson? Youth is an execution advantage. At that stage of life, sustaining 18-hour workdays repeatedly was possible. Not only because of motivation, but because of capacity. There is a surplus of energy and tolerance for uncertainty at that stage. Over time, that edge diminishes. If you are early in your career, this is the period to use that advantage. Take the risk. Endeavour. #jatnotes #winning

Interesting

Context is King !!!

@heymode I thought this should be clear to all by now

Nothing like independent media Someone is funding it. The person funding determines everything

@historigins Good old fella !!!

Dad was hitting nothing but gold with every answer

@ProofofMaro Curious. What's the first ?

My second favourite whitepaper of all time

Blackstone: "Let's do some cringey holiday videos to appeal to retail investors" KKR: "hold my beer"

Maths is powerful

Love how Sports and Academics are integrated in the US

yes waterloo students are impressive. no it's not the curriculum. it's the free PitchBook subscription lol

@olumidecapital Hahaha... This Dangote Cloud needs to be under the Atlantic so those who became innovation experts because they read books and newspapers can cut him some slack

Africa's richest man might have to build Dangote Cloud to convince social media critics that he is innovative

@RSALuffy @afropolitan @Audu Oh nice Didn't even know Bleek is at Dusse

@omoafe @afropolitan @Audu Guru is actually a director at the Rocnation school, and we can't forget Bleek who is at Dusse 🔥

Jay-Z built stakeholders. Diddy built an audience. One has people who will defend him when everything falls apart. The other has fans who disappear. @Audu Maikori breaks down the difference between community and clout.

@Echecrates WTH is Jamie when you need him...!!!

Jamie Dimon it is moments like this you left Sandy Weil for. Chase should be leading this

@ReignTeez @TheRocSupremacy @afropolitan @Audu Sweet !!!!

@omoafe @TheRocSupremacy @afropolitan @Audu “Like Hyman Roth made all of my partners rich, I can’t vouch for you, if you’re not a part of this…”😎

@ChampagneDT FF's negative view of Alhaji is already set in stone anyways.......doesn't seem like any new information will change that

I admire Feyi Fawehinmi’s writing, but a part of him should feel some compunction given today’s events. When he said, “Dangote is a net negative for Nigeria,” it didn’t account for supply chain issues like this.

@enelsonhere @youraveragejeet @ogbonigwe1 This had better been the case because the stats is shocking

@youraveragejeet @ogbonigwe1 Not entirely correct. The data centres for most ISPs are in those top states. For example, - hypothetically you use MTN in Ksatina to open an app, your signal is touted to MTN's data centre in Abuja, and then to the wider Internet.

Cloudflare traffic in Nigeria

Today, the @WhiteHouse released a commonsense National AI Policy Framework that ensures every American benefits from AI. As @POTUS has said — we need one federal AI policy, not a 50 state patchwork. This gets us there. Eager to work with Congress on this important legislation.

@eajene @femilonge A very interesting info I understand the Niger's numbers cos of its close integration with Northern Nigeria but Cameroon's surprised me

The US & the UK are the top two source countries for remittance inflows to Nigeria. The third is perhaps surprising — it’s Cameroon. In fact, Cameroon to Nigeria is the largest intra-African remittance corridor across the continent. Nigeria isn't just a top destination for intercontinental remittances — it's the dominant hub for intra-African flows too. Here's a look at the top five corridors: #1 - Cameroon to Nigeria #2 - Niger to Nigeria #3 - South Africa to Zimbabwe #4 - Nigeria to Ghana #5 (tie) - Ghana to Nigeria #5 (tie) - Benin to Nigeria In total, ~$20B in remittances are sent within Africa annually. And that's a significant prize that fintechs & banks across the continent and beyond are increasingly targeting. Just this week, for example, Tanzanian fintech @NALAmoney and British-Estonian money transfer platform @Wise both announced securing International Money Transfer Operator licenses from the Central Bank of Nigeria. --- Via Afridigest Intelligence — Cut through complexity & act with confidence in Africa's growth markets: afridigest.com/intelligence
