Yayi, Ogun West And The Politics Of Readiness - Adeolu Adebari - Politics

Image
  Every election season, the same scenario plays out in Ogun State. Family history is questioned. Home ownership is scrutinised. Senate districts become battlegrounds of identity. The 2027 gubernatorial election follows this pattern, with Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola’s long tenure in Lagos cited by his opponents as a weakness in his Ogun identity. However, a state with Ogun’s potential deserves better than a rehash of old squabbles. The most important questions voters are asking are neither new nor complex. Who can govern from day one? Who understands the strain on public finances, the urgent need for infrastructure, the pressure on employment, the need for schools, and the everyday struggles of ordinary families? These are the issues that should define 2027, not family house politics. Ogun doesn’t need a governor based on family lineage. It needs a governor based on competence. In our politics, lineage is invoked far too often when performance analysis is difficult. When a pe...

DANGOTE REFINERY I.P.O

  This will shock you… some of you might even rethink Dangote Refinery IPO after this post. Please fact check me… no emotions… only facts! Dangote Cement was listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange at ₦135 per share on 26 October 2010. Dangote Cement is now trading at ₦1,034 today. If you bought 1000 shares in 2010, you spent only ₦135,000 and your shares would be worth ₦1,034,000 today. That’s a massive 666% PROFIT. Jesusssss. Massive. Oya wait… In 2010, that 1,000 shares at ₦135,000 represented approximately $890. Yes, that 135,000 Naira was actually $890. After 16 years, your $890 investment yielded ₦1,034,000 which is $780.93 today. While you are celebrating 666% profit in Naira, unknown to you, you have actually LOST THE ENTIRE VALUE of the capital you invested. If you invested the same money in Apple on the same day Dangote Cement was listed, your N135,000 ($890) would be worth $25,917 today - minus dividends oh. If you invested that money in Bitcoin on the same day Dangote Cem...
