Underrated life advice: Keep a list of people who believed in you early. The teacher who pushed you, the boss who took a chance on you, and the friend who encouraged you. Reach out occasionally, share your progress, and thank them for believing in you.

A farmer is a man who stands out in his field, making less money than he spends, while wondering why he didn't become an accountant.
Zimbabweans are risk takers 😅

These memes about the Dangote refinery and fuel trucks being the properties of those that bought shares in the IPO are great for the business! This sense of collective ownership is what drives patronage, responsibility and accountability of everyone towards the business and ita operations. This should become the attitude we embrace for the common wealth and the public sector - collective responsibility and demand for accountability.

Dangote stated that a ₦100,000 investment in Dangote Petroleum Refinery shares could turn investors into millionaires. The IPO offers 4.1 billion shares at ₦525 each, with a minimum entry of just 10 shares. Dangote encouraged investors to view the shares as a long-term investment for building family wealth. The refinery's revenue model enables investors to receive dividends in foreign currency, protecting against devaluation.

Did you know Elon Musk was weirdly "predicted" in a Wernher von Braun book nearly 80 years ago? In his 1948 novel *Project Mars*, von Braun describes a future Martian government led by a figure called the "Elon." It's not a person's name, but a title for the head of government. Still, considering Elon Musk's lifelong obsession with Mars, this has to be one of the strangest coincidences in space history!
