DR. STEPHEN AKINTAYO, HIS EMPLOYEES AND THE BIG LESSON EVERY AFRICAN ENTREPRENEUR MUST LEARN.

  I have followed the ongoing controversy surrounding Dr. Stephen Akintayo and some former employees of GText Homes, and I think there’s a bigger conversation we should be having beyond the social media dragging. First, let me establish something. Dr. Stephen Akintayo is someone I personally call Father. I have learned so much from him, and he has practically held me by the hand and shown me what is possible in the real estate industry. So, I am not speaking as someone who doesn’t know him or hasn’t benefited from his mentorship. But I am also speaking as a young entrepreneur who employs people, pays salaries and understands some of the challenges of building a business in Nigeria. LET’S TALK ABOUT BOTH SIDES. Building a business for 18 years is no joke. You will make mistakes, lose money, hire the wrong people, experience betrayal, make difficult decisions and sometimes fail. People see successful entrepreneurs today and forget the years of sacrifices, sleepless nights and failure...

Ex-KDF Soldier Patrick Osoi Warns Dangote Over Kenya Refinery Project - Business

Image
  A short but fiery video of former Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) soldier Patrick Osoi has been circulating widely on social media since 10 October 2026. In the clip, Osoi, dressed in a green military-style uniform and red beret, speaks from a podium marked “Lions Movement” and directly addresses Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote. His message is blunt: “I want to tell Aliko Dangote, please don’t rush to start the refinery because, when I’m sworn in as President of Kenya next year, you will be heading back to Nigeria. We Kenyans have business people who can start the refinery.” Osoi is presenting himself as a future presidential candidate in Kenya’s 2027 elections. His statement frames the massive oil refinery project as something that should be left to local Kenyan investors rather than foreign capital. The project in question is the proposed Dangote East Africa Refinery in Lamu, on Kenya’s northern coast. In late September 2026, Aliko Dangote and Kenyan President William Ruto broke ...
