  "account": "Distinguished business leaders and economic analysts, such as Dr Gabriel Ogbechie and Bismarck Rewane, have urged investors in Nigeria to prioritize real assets, strong risk management, and personal integrity for long-term prosperity. At the Cordros Wealth Summit 2026, titled \"Wealth Beyond Money,\" held in Lagos, industry experts gathered to rethink conventional wealth indicators. Ogbechie, the founder of Rainoil Limited, argued that paper money is merely a tool, while true wealth is built on tangible assets, scalable businesses, character, and social connections. He highlighted the equities market's growth, which expanded from N4.5tn to its current N163.68tn valuation. Rewane, CEO of Financial Derivatives Company, pointed out that while global geopolitical tensions persist, Nigeria's domestic macroeconomic metrics are gradually stabilizing and that inflation and exchange rate fluctuations are becoming more predictable. Cordros Capital Limited's CEO, Wale Agbeyangi, discussed the company's evolution from a stockbroking firm to a full-service financial services group. Gbolahan Aina, Managing Director of Cordros Asset Management, discussed the projected influx of $30tn in global wealth pools by 2030 and the importance of retail investors using structured mutual funds to hedge against inflation.",
