Hear hear. For folks visiting Lagos, this a thread of businesses/services that I have patronized that ABSOLUTELY delighted me.

1. Pedicure - The Nail Boutique (7-12 Rumens Road Ikoyi). I tried their super lux pedicure, not sure what they put in it but my feet never felt so good.

2. Braids - The Braiding Vault (GreenVille mall Lekki). Best braiding experience of my entire life! They are appointment only so please call.
3. Skincare products - I ordered online from Skincare Lagos. They had everything I was looking for and the whole experience was super smooth.

4. Hair - Hair by Bees Root. First time buying hair so I had loads of questions. They patiently answered all of them and the hair looked gorgeous - as advertised.

38 Adeyemo Alakija off Sanusi Fafuwa Victoria Island.
5. Make Up - Switch Cosmetics. 17B Olosa Street VI. I was super impressed by all the COVID protocols they took. And face beat was A1.
The artists are also so cheerful. @Switchcosmetics @switchcosmetics_beautystudio on instagram.
6. Banana bread - look no further @tammys__treats is your plug!
Honorable mention - MangoBakeShop (you can find them on instagram). Order their Oreo Overload and thank me later.
7. Clothes - Zephans & co. Her SO put me on when I was complaining of a lack of clothes so shout out to supportive partners! The clothes are stylish, affordable & have pockets!!!
https://t.co/4Sk7wzA2HU or their store in Lekki (I think ordering online has more variety.
8. Clothes - @GreyVelvet. I wasn’t looking for clothes but stumbled on their store & worked in. But this one is so special to me so they get two tweets.
During the course of this year, I gained a lot of weight & well became plus size. That’s when I realized one terrible thing.
Clothes for plus size people are mostly ugly. Almost as if designers don’t care. Which is weird because I don’t think the average Nigerian woman is skinny. Anyway, I entered their store & was blown away by how good the clothes fit. Everything I tried on was a hit!
They are in Centrol Mall Lekki. I was so impressed that I had to go look for the founder. I was almost convinced she has a body type like me. But no. She doesn’t actually. They just take size inclusivity very important and it shows.

That’s all folks! Have fun in Lagos.

The Mother of All Squeezes

How Volkswagen went from being on the brink of bankruptcy to the most valuable company in the world in two days

/THREAD/


1/ At the peak of the 2008 financial crisis, Volkswagen was considered a very likely candidate for bankruptcy.

Heavily indebted and already financially struggling before 2008, with car sales expected to plummet due to the ongoing global crisis.


2/ With GM and Chrysler filing for bankruptcy in 2009, shorting the VW stock would seem a safe bet.

If you are not familiar with stock shorts and short squeezes check my thread


3/ On October 26, 2008, Porsche announced it had increased its stake at VW from 30% to 74%.

This was a surprise to many who were led to believe that Porsche wasn't planning a takeover of VW, based on the company's announcements.


4/ Before the announcement, the short interest was approximately 13% of the outstanding shares, a number considered relatively low.

Porsche had a 30% stake, the Lower Saxony government fund held 20% of the shares, and another 5% was held by index funds.
