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.

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!

Digital assets are moving from experimentation to real-world use. We see collaboration across the ecosystem as key to connecting onchain innovation with trusted global payments infrastructure.
Initiatives like the @Mastercard Crypto Partner Program help bring builders, networks, and financial institutions closer together.
Digital assets are entering a new phase. What once ran in parallel to existing financial systems is increasingly being applied to solve practical, real-world needs — often behind the scenes – from cross-border remittances to B2B money transfers. This creates new opportunities to add value in how money moves globally.
Today, we introduced the Mastercard Crypto Partner Program — a global initiative that brings together more than 85 crypto-native companies, payments providers, and financial institutions. Together, we're creating a forum for meaningful dialogue and collaboration as this space continues to mature.
