When Your Timeline Becomes Wall Street
<p>Everyone on my timeline is suddenly a stockbroker.</p><p><br/></p><p>Dangote Refinery is selling 4.1 billion shares. At N525 per share. Minimum buy is 10 shares - N5,250.</p><p><br/></p><p>And Nigeria has divided into two groups.</p><p><br/></p><p>Group A: "This is history. This is the refinery that will save the naira. If you don't buy now, you will tell your children 'I had the chance.'"</p><p><br/></p><p>Group B: "Oga where do you want me to see N5,250? Fuel is N1,430 in Abuja. Rice is not rice again. You want me to use my soup money to buy shares?"</p><p><br/></p><p>Both groups are right.</p><p><br/></p><p>My friend Izrplays said something that stuck: "Nigerians don't hate investment, they hate being poor while being told to invest."</p><p><br/></p><p>But think about it - 10 years ago, people laughed at those who bought Dangote Cement at N20. Today they are landlords.</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe this IPO is not just about shares. It's about belief. Do you believe Nigeria can refine its own future?</p><p><br/></p><p>VeryDarkMan is being dragged for saying Dangote's 2007 shares were a scam. The internet never forgets, but the market never waits.</p><p><br/></p><p>N5,250.</p><p><br/></p><p>It's small money and big money at the same time. That's the dilemma of being young in Nigeria right now.</p><p><br/></p><p>You want to build wealth, but you are still trying to survive.</p><p><br/></p><p>So the question is not "Will Dangote Refinery succeed?"</p><p><br/></p><p>The question is - will you be part of the story when they write it?</p><p><br/></p><p>*Written by Izrplays </p>
