  Was SpaceX's IPO a Scam? Elon Musk loses trillionaire status as SpaceX shares tumble.  Elon Musk, chief executive officer (CEO) of Tesla and SpaceX, has lost his trillionaire status following a sharp decline in the value of the rocket company’s shares. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Musk’s net worth fell to $946 billion on Thursday, down from the more than $1 trillion valuation recorded on June 12 following SpaceX’s initial public offering (IPO). The billionaire became the world’s first trillionaire after the successful listing of SpaceX, with his fortune surging from $707 billion to more than $1.1 trillion within days of the company’s market debut.  However, less than two weeks later, a sustained decline in SpaceX shares has erased hundreds of billions of dollars from his wealth.

  FG orders  banks, others to freeze assets of terrorism financiers. The Federal Government yesterday directed financial institutions and designated non-financial businesses and professions to maintain full compliance with sanctions obligations by freezing the assets of terrorists financiers. The directive came against the backdrop of sanctions imposed on a Nigerian financier of ISIS, along with his three Bureaux De Change in Lagos and Kano, by the US government. It will be recalled that the US government had used its Executive Order 13224, to sanction the Lagos-based financier, identified as Mukhtar Adamu Muhammad, 35, and the three BDCs,  including Generation Currency Bureau De Change Limited; Nine to Nine Exchange Bureau De Change Limited, and Manhattan Bureau De Change Limited; for allegedly moving funds for ISIS, as part of a sweeping action targeting the group’s financial networks across Europe, the Middle East and West Africa.

Happy Father's Day to all fathers whose lives are marked by sacrifice, hard work, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to their families. A father wakes up every day with one mission, to provide a better life for his children. He rises early, works tirelessly, endures challenges, and makes countless personal sacrifices because his children are the reason he hustles so hard. Their future is his motivation, their success is his pride, and their happiness is his greatest reward. Fatherhood is a calling of responsibility, selflessness, and love. It is about putting the needs of others before your own and making difficult choices today so your children can have better opportunities tomorrow. On this special day, I extend my heartfelt wishes to all fathers in Ijebuland who carry the weight of responsibility on their shoulders, who put family before self, and who go out every day to hustle, work, and strive to keep t...
