In the face of this torrential waves which has caused and facilitated the downturn of many economies, we However see substantial progress on the shores of this Igala born estate management guru and philanthropist and business magnate, Dr Sanusi Abdul Sanusi, as he is popularly called, in an artful entrepreneur whose understanding of the magic of clarity of purpose and consistency in the pursuit of his passionate defined course which he had displayed over the years, endeared him to many and make him easily stands out.

Unlike many who made forays and started businesses for the sole aim of amassing wealth, Sanusi started out with a mission to impact and help better the lives of people around him in any way possible. To this end, he identified an area of deep pain and interest in the Nigerian and indeed world economy which is housing. Consequently, the SANAN Real Homes, was birthed.

Today many explores the lessons of his many successes and apply them as investors for a successful and profitable career in the real estate industry in Nigeria. He is so successful because he thinks big and takes calculated risks and this is because to those who knows him Sanusi is a big thinker.

A good example of his think-big potential is his development of his housing estate in Abuja a project that many agrees, redefined luxury having and sealed his reputation as a real estate magnate. When Sanusi announced the plan for his signature with economic uncertainty. Many developers then avoided ambitious projects, but Sanusi saw an opportunity.

The project required massive upfront investment during a volatile market. His critics then called it reckless.

Another lesson from his success story is that Sanusi see potentials where others see problems. Seeing a property in a terrible state is enough to make most real investors beat a retreat. However, most times, looking beyond the present state of a property and coming up with how he can improve the value of the property, made all the difference in his success. He had transformed in to his success in one of the most striking examples, neglected real estate into high-value assets in his acquisitions and redevelopment of most of his properties at his disposals. He saw in them an opportunity that many others like him missed by unlocking the hidden potential of those properties. He was able to remarkably improve the value of these estates in such a way that appealed to his high profile clients. He demonstrated his ability to identify potentials in what other saw as a-no-go-areas.

The lessons from this is very clearer: Sanusi had demonstrated on the way to his successes in real estate that even distressed and outdated properties often hide extra ordinary potentials. With the right execution and vision there coned be potentials where others see risk or neglect. Today, look for assets in prime locations with solid bones but poor management, outdated designs, or convictions, tried and tested successfully over and over again, that sometimes the best deals come disguised as disasters, he will turn if around.

Another lessons out of Sanusi is that he succeeded because he built a strong and strategic networks and this is because to those who are abreast of his success story, he is a man known for leveraging connections to secure deals finding and is not just about properties alone – it is also about – relationships. From lenders to contractors to business partners, a strong network has been key to his success.

Networking with other professionals, potential investors and decision-makers helped him uncover opportunities, gain insights, and close deals more effectively.

He specializes in Luxury homes and affordable housing, all a recognizable and respected name (Sanusi Abdul Sanusi), overtime through branding, made all the difference for him.

Above all, prime locations is everything to Sanusi, as it is noteworthy that he is now known as the master of this school of thought. He builds most of his empire by only forensing on prime locations. Check it, his properties are often located in prestigious or high-demand areas, because he well understood that desirable locations command premium prices and ensures long-term value.

After success what next? Sanusi is currently the shinning star among other rich people who have promised to give back to the society most of their wealth while still alive. He is today redefining the landscape of philanthropy in the country. Most of his wealth are being committed to noble causes in the country which span education, shelter for the poor, nutrition, the provision of portable water and similar poverty eradication measures. Indeed, one can say that in the pantheonof philanthropists, Sanusi undoubtedly encapsulates the self-sacrificing and giving spirit of Prometheus. Through these gigantic gestures, he is further challenging the ultra-wealthy like him to give more so that the less privileged who are ravaged daily by hunger and diseases and other dive socio-economic conditions in the country are afforded more opportunities to triumph over adversities and their existential situations. The promise he made of giving back to the society years ago through his charity works triggered his missionary peregrinations across the country, seeking to making a difference to the lot of the needy. His indivisible commitment to humanity is highly remarkable and an inspiration to successfully business men all over the country. His parallel display of humanism towards making the country “Kinder and gentler” is today rhapsodized and applauded all over the country. He knows the “Gospel of wealth” radicalized by the essay of Andrew Carnegie which forcefully argued that the wealth should return their resources to the Sanusi charity. His large-hearted approach to giving could not have come at a better time than now. The extended cover offered by his foundations charity in Nigeria is benefiting more people and providing them with the enabling environment for progress.

Sanusi compassionate gift is a powerful message to the affluent class on how wealth should be viewed, as a tool for solving humanity’s greatest challenges and saving lives. This overarching need to radically change the purpose of wealth as being of value not simply to its narcissistic accumulations but as a tool for solving some of man kinds knottiest problems beyond the capacity or inclinations of the state is possibly one of the greatest lessons from the example of Sanusi Instructively, his genius and ingenuity have been homed along an unconventional path, which has largely yielded considerable insights and outcomes.

The authorities did not clarify the specifics of the rumors or the content that was shared, but they underscored the government's persistent efforts to combat what they characterize as psychological warfare and disinformation campaigns."These individuals were trying to instigate panic and confusion among the public by disseminating false information," officials in Hormozgan remarked. "Their actions clearly contravened national security protocols."In a different case, prosecutors in the central Yazd province confirmed the detention of five additional individuals accused of photographing what officials referred to as "sensitive sites" and distributing material deemed sympathetic to Israel. Authorities assert that this group was collecting and transmitting intelligence, although they did not provide specifics regarding the locations or the methods of content sharing."The detained individuals had been actively creating and circulating content that endorses the Zionist regime," a statement from Yazd's prosecutor's office indicated. "This conduct constitutes cooperation with enemy entities and represents a direct threat to national security."These arrests occur in the aftermath of a series of Israeli airstrikes reportedly targeting military and strategic sites throughout Iran, as part of a broader escalation in the regional conflict. Tehran has accused Tel Aviv of executing cyber and intelligence operations aimed at destabilizing the Islamic Republic.Iranian officials have consistently cautioned citizens about the repercussions of disseminating "propaganda" or material that could be construed as assisting adversarial states. In recent years, the government has intensified its control over online platforms, particularly during times of political unrest or international tension.The government has not revealed whether those arrested will face formal charges.

China s Ambassador to the United Nations has accused Israel of crossing yet another red line with its strikes on Iran
China has issued a robust condemnation of Israel's recent military actions against Iran, cautioning that these actions signify a significant violation of Iran's sovereignty and a concerning escalation of regional instability.In a statement aired by China's state-run CCTV, Beijing's UN envoy Fu Cong expressed profound concern regarding Israel's alleged targeting of critical Iranian infrastructure, including nuclear facilities."Israel has once again crossed a red line," Fu asserted, accusing Tel Aviv of infringing upon Iran's sovereignty, jeopardizing its security, and neglecting its territorial integrity. He described the strikes as a "clear violation of international law" and cautioned that they could further undermine peace initiatives in the region.Fu underscored the reported assaults on nuclear sites as particularly perilous, indicating that such actions pose threats not only to Iran but also to global stability. "The targeting of nuclear facilities is profoundly alarming. This is yet another red line that must not be overlooked," he stressed.While China has consistently called for all parties to exercise restraint amid the ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel, Fu's statements represent one of the most vigorous denunciations from Beijing regarding Israeli military actions in recent history, highlighting China's increasing discomfort with the rising hostilities."China firmly opposes the escalation of this conflict and urges all parties to act responsibly," Fu added. "The world cannot bear the repercussions of ongoing aggression and retaliation."His remarks arise amidst growing international apprehension that the persistent cycle of attacks between Israel and Iran could escalate into a wider regional conflict, potentially involving major global powers and further destabilizing the Middle East.China, which maintains diplomatic relations with both countries, has positioned itself as a neutral entity advocating for de-escalation. In recent years, Beijing has enhanced its diplomatic involvement in the Middle East, including mediation efforts between conflicting states.

Two banks have met N500bn recapitalisation target
Only two Tier 1 banks, Zenith Bank and Access Holdings Plc, have surpassed the N500 bn share capital and share premium threshold set by the Central Bank of Nigeria for banks with international licences, Proshare report has revealed.The report, titled ‘Tier 1 Banks Report: Getting Bigger, Braver, and Dominant – The Class of 2025’, stated that Zenith Bank leads with a share capital and share premium of N614.65bn, followed by AccessCorp at N594.90bn. Other Tier 1 banks, including Ecobank Transnational Incorporated and Guaranty Trust Holding Company, are trailing behind with N353.51 bn and N345.30 bn, respectively.Access Bank BuildingAccess Bank Building“All Tier 1 banks are licensed for international operations. However, tier 1 borderline banks (the highest-ranked tier 2 banks) have also chosen to achieve N500bn share capital to compete aggressively in the emerging global and continental banking markets,” the report stated.The analysts noted a shift in dynamics within the banking hierarchy, with ETI displacing Zenith Bank from the top of the Tier 1 ladder, largely due to its 67.11 per cent asset growth, driven mainly by its francophone West African operations.According to the report, Fidelity Bank, despite a recent N225bn Supreme Court judgement liability tied to its legacy acquisition of FSB International Bank, is projected to return to Tier 1 classification by the end of the 2025 financial year. The report stated that Fidelity Bank could still maintain adequate liquidity if it strategically managed the impact of the judgement.Proshare analysts also evaluated the broader implications of the recapitalisation drive, especially amid shifting customer expectations and banking trends.“The recapitalisation of Nigerian banks is not new, but the era in which it is now happening is different,” the report noted. “The contemporary era is hinged on a shift in the needs of bank customers. It is more aligned with the transactional needs of customers for bespoke services.”The report further pointed out that while asset size has traditionally been used to rank banks, asset growth is becoming equally significant in measuring market dynamics. By asset growth, the top five banks include ETI (67.11 per cent), Wema Bank (59.82 per cent), FCMB (59.46 per cent), FirstHoldco (56.60 per cent), and AccessCorp (55.49 per cent).However, the report flagged concerns about non-performing loans and suboptimal use of balance sheet leverage in the Nigerian banking sector.“While off-balance sheet transactions have grown exponentially globally, this type of banking operation remains relatively underutilised in Nigeria,” it added.Despite potential short-term pressures on return on equity and capital employed, the report said the long-term outlook remains positive as banks enhance capital adequacy ratios and risk management frameworks in response to the recapitalisation mandate.Proshare concluded that the recapitalisation timeline set by the CBN, ending in March 2026, remains realistic, with most banks making visible progress, although a few banks are lagging behind.Thousands of companies are sacking their workers due to AI (artificial intelligence), no industry is spared, business owners are in panic mode due to its rapid change. The solution is to earn in US Dollars(up to $55,000) while living in Nigeria or Diaspora.

love and romance
My marriage With Mrs Modupe Owa
I met my lovely husband, Temitope Joshua, in the gospel church I attended. I was already a member before he joined. I was in the choir, while he was in the ushering unit.What were his qualities that you found attractive?At that time, to be sincere, he wasn’t really physically attractive to me. But each of those qualities that I didn’t like then are the very things I now find endearing about him. He’s tall and dark-skinned, and I still admire him to this day.How did he propose to you?He walked up to me and told me he would like us to have a relationship. When he asked me out, I asked him to go pray about it, and when our relationship was confirmed to be God-ordained through the mouths of several ministers, we got married after four years of courtship. During those four years, we met only in the church; I never went to his house.At what point in the relationship were you certain that he would marry you?Our relationship was rooted in our faith in God, and when you are in a relationship with a man whose heart is sold out to God, he will not disappoint you, because there is no lie or deceit where there is sincerity and divine leading. It’s the love of God that brings certainty.What was the most memorable part of your wedding day?I recall it was while I walked into the church that day, going towards the altar, wearing my white wedding gown. I turned back to look at the crowd present, and at that moment, I was filled with happiness and gratitude to God. You see, my parents had earlier warned me against wearing a white gown during my wedding because of their belief at that time that some brides who wore one failed to conceive. But I did.You recently celebrated your 30th wedding anniversary. What are the lessons you have learned so far?I learned that no one is immune to challenges in their marriage. Forbearance is one of the keys to a happy home. Patience is also key, because there is no perfect marriage. I also faced storms, but I held on, sought counsel, and applied wisdom, and the storms went away.What advice would you give to young people who are planning to marry?I particularly like to advise young women to seek a man whose heart is sold out to God. The times have changed; the way we were committed to the faith is not often what you see among youths today. Before you marry, cultivate personal discipline, let good elders in the faith mentor you, and most importantly, don’t rush into marriage.Thousands of companies are sacking their workers due to AI (artificial intelligence), no industry is spared, business owners are in panic mode due to its rapid change. The solution is to earn in US Dollars(up to $55,000) while living in Nigeria or Diaspora.
