My people, make I yarn una about wetin dey happen for Africa and how we fit turn our minerals chance to big money! Na billionaire Prateek Suri don talk say copper don find new level; e don reach wey price dey break records like say na small paddy!
Wetin we dey talk be say as global economy dey waka towards green energy and AI, Africa wey dem dey always look down on, don dey show say we fit carry our load for this copper matter. If you no know, copper na di backbone of everything wey relate to electricity, electric car, and even for defense tech. Na big deal!
As per Suri, copper price don cross $13,000 per tonne, so e dey clear say demand dey rise like fire. But no be only talk. E get reason wey dey push dis demand: AI, renewable energy, and modern defense systems no be just wahala wey go pass; na reality we go live with for long. And wahala be say, supply no fit match this demand because many copper mines dey age and some don begin collect wahala from environmental rules and politics.
Suri don chop front seat for dis gist, him dey talk say Nigeria and di whole of Africa dey hold correct goldmine of copper wey dem never even tap. E say wahala wey dem dey call frontier risk now na gold wey everybody wan collect. Dis means say Africa fit turn into major player for di copper market and no be small matter!
He don fix eye for Central African Republic, since him don gree with dem Ministry of Mines. He believe say with di right funds and governance, dis country fit help fill di gap wey dey for global copper supply. But make we no forget, Suri dey talk say no be only to extract copper we go they think; Africa gatz begin to build own industries, harness di resources and stop to dey export raw materials alone.
Make I clear am well: if Africa wan shine for dis copper matter, e gatz dey make smart move. We gatz turn our minerals into goldmine wey dey power our own economy before we dey send am abroad. Wetin e go take? We need better partnership and governments wey dey see beyond short-term gain! Na wetin go make di difference!
