ESG CORNER
ESG is no longer about what companies promise. It’s about what they can prove.
The second half of 2026 is ushering in a new era of sustainability one where capital, regulators, and businesses are rewarding execution over rhetoric.
From Nigeria’s growing ESG ecosystem to global investments in renewable energy, sustainable aviation fuel, carbon removal, and low-carbon materials, the focus is shifting toward tangible infrastructure and measurable outcomes.
The message for businesses is simple:
ESG is no longer a communications exercise. It is becoming an operational requirement.

Marina Times Opinion
Nigeria is already one of the world`s largest digital asset markets.
The real question isn`t whether Nigerians will use cryptocurrencies it`s whether Nigeria will build the right regulatory framework to support them.
Inspired by Dubai`s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), this opinion explores why Nigeria should establish a dedicated regulator for digital assets one that promotes innovation while protecting investors, strengthening market integrity, and supporting financial inclusion.
Regulation doesn`t have to slow innovation it can be the foundation that allows it to thrive. Tap link in bio to read more.

Every major AI company is spending at a pace rarely seen in modern technology.
Billions are flowing into GPUs, data centers, electricity, talent, and increasingly sophisticated models. Yet many of these companies are still reporting thin margins or significant losses.
At first glance, it looks unsustainable.
But history tells us that transformative technologies often look expensive before they become indispensable.
The internet did (late 1990s).
Cloud computing did (mid-2000s).
Ride-hailing (2010s)
Even railroads and electricity required enormous upfront investment before delivering lasting economic value.
Today`s AI race is no different.
The challenge is that this isn`t just a race to build the smartest model. It`s a race to build a business that can consistently generate returns on unprecedented capital investment.
The winners will likely be those that can answer four critical questions:
• Can they reduce the cost of training and inference?
• Can they convert users into recurring revenue?
• Can they build products customers cannot easily replace?
• Can they achieve profitability before investor patience runs out?
As infrastructure improves, chip efficiency increases, and enterprise adoption accelerates, today`s cost curve may begin to flatten. But until then, the industry remains in a delicate balancing act between innovation and financial sustainability.
The question for investors, founders,
and policymakers is no longer whether AI will change the world.
It`s whether today`s level of spending will create tomorrow`s enduring businesses or become another lesson in the cost of technological exuberance.
Capital can fuel innovation.
Only sustainable economics can sustain it.
What do you think? Are we witnessing the birth of the next industrial revolution, or the early stages of an AI valuation reset?
