Oga even if dangote was experimenting anything and a public transport was the best place to get his results, he will not do it...instead him go send person to go do am for am...it's just their mentality, you can't change it

If this guy had sent someone else. . .who will recognize that person wearing the prototype of the much buzzed about glasses thereby creating more buzz??!!

Abegi, y'all need to get with the program. . .Marketing 101

vinderbilt: Bill Gates also flew commercial all the time when he was a billionaire before Microsoft bought private jets! true Story

Warren Buffet still rides commercial till date even though he has a stake in a private jet manufacturing coy.

A lot of multi millionaire/billionaire (in pounds sterling) ride on the London underground as well but you would never know. These peeps sure know how to act humble.

seedord247: Shut up.... Who tell you say big man craze nor dey america.

you dey go out at all?

Really? please show me...

FYsol: I once worked with Jimoh Ibrahim. You cannot stand on the staircase while he is passing being a staff. You must disappear back to where you are coming from he is like a demi god. Can someone like that ever share a cab with another person not to talk of public transit.meanwhile sergey will buy 10 of Dangote and collect change

Bros 10 of Dangote ke? Dangote is worth $11 billion and Sergey Brin is worth $17. And if its really a calculation of all assests and cash-Dangote is worth more as Forbes only reckons with value of publicly quoted and traded companies-in this case-Sergey Brin's share of Google and Dangote's shares in his companies on the NSE.

And we need to take many of these things in perspective. America is a throughly organized entity-

Police will arrive to any call in 30 seconds to 5 minutes
Kidnapping is almost non existent in the USA. How do want to successfully kidnap anyone? Is it your phone that wont be traced? In the University of Minnesota alone there over 2000 CTV cameras?
The subway like every other form of public transportion is to the clock. If it says it will arrive at 9.15am-it will arrive at 9.15am-no story.
In the USA too there are many shine millionaires and billionaires who go about in conveys and private jets. Its just that there, having money doesnt mean you can harrass anyone and get away with it. Trust me there are too many lawyers and most earn their daily bread by looking for fault where there is none.

Donald Trump just bought a new private jet with gold plated toilets. And he goes almost everywhere with armed escorts. Thats just one example. There are flashy rich people everywhere and there are also silent ones.

When I was in Ghana-I met a Nigerian wearing simple trouser and shirt-with a simple 2nd hand car.It was after he left, that the person who he was with told me that he was one of Nigeria's silent billionaires-he owns one paint manufacturing company. I had never heard of his name or seen his face in any newspaper. Whereas there are many Nigerian billionaires who wherever they go-Ghana or the USA or South Africa go with an entourage of 5 to 20 people.

Really? please show me...

Show me any black man in america that worth millions $$ without 300 men...

Brb....

J12: I saw Dangote inside a danfo the other day.

You av come again.

We need this mentality asap in Nigeria........ This mentality is anti-greed and anti-corruption.

talktimi: In other words, Dangote & Adenuga should tamo molue... GEJ is at fault for this rubbish

If adenuga or dangote does this, apart from kidnapping, there would be so much obnoxious habit like people sayin baba adenuga...- I never chop dash me money...dangote my wife dey hospital, adenuga I rread I.t in school..employ me for your company or dangote you go payowo ilee o

why are you making buzz over nothing. One he was working on something and needed to get the result himself. Let's assume for the sake of argument that he was not working on anything or could have paid people to go do the test out there, but then with a reliable transport system like theirs in most cases it is efficient to take the pub transport. On the other side of the divide; using Nigeria transport system, which is neither safe nor reliable, why on earth would you expect someone you can afford not to put his or her life in danger by using the transport system in Nigeria?

maninmood: Before you start glorifying that white mogul, have a deep comprehension of the piece posted by the OP- he is undoubtedly undergoing a research experiment, and probably that wass the best environment( dependent variable) for him to perform such experiment in order to get a better result of his 'invention'.

They all lack comprehension skills. He is testing google project glass.

Btw, you cant kidnap someone you havent traced; someone you arent expecting.

Liar, Dangote is worth 12bn dollars and carlos slim isnt worth more than 70bn dollars as the richest man.

outrage: Where the train to ride seff for naija?

Danfo no dey? Abi Okada no full everywhere?

Bwaaahahahhahahhahaahahaaa, e be like say you dey my mind, just like loafers who hang around at clubs waiting for people to buy drinks for them. But anyways the google glass the guy was testing is quite impressive, might make mobile phones turn obsolete soon ...

Before you start drawing comparisons and insulting 'Nigerian elites', look inwards and ask - You, yourself, don't you exhibit bigmanism. In the way you speak to your househelp, the gateman at the office, your junior workers, people with only secondary school education, etc?
In your weddings, where people even borrow cars to pose - I saw a topic on this recently. Driving on the road, where you insult everybody.
So look inwards - leave Dangote, Otedola, Jimoh Ibrahim - even those living in a 2 bedroom house in Ikorodu Lagos will still form big man when they come in contact with those living in miniflat in Agege

Abyjah: Mr Brin sure knows how to pull a simple but effective publicity stunt. He's def'nly doing good at marketing the Google Smart Goggle.

You are so damn smart I could marry you!
You have summarised it succinctly!

Bros if you don't understand finance its not compulsory you write on a post.
Forbes only judge based on asset and not liability. You know the number of banks dangote is owing. How many banks google they owe? If liability is to be deducted from asset sergey will buy 20 of dangote take or leave it

simplicity, Dats ma kind of person. A nigerian average man will rob to fly on a private jet, madness. Our politicians can not emulate a humble nature of white men, useless and sellfish governors and president.

obo_man: We need this mentality asap in Nigeria........ This mentality is anti-greed and anti-corruption.

Who told you, are you more capitalist than america

It's just that you cant get away with crime there. A politician cant even cheat on his wife and remain in office. So what do you do

[size=15pt]Even imagine - when Azadus was shown here talking with an okada man, was he not insulted beyond human reasoning? Now people suddenly want humility![/size]

I still do not believe you. I dont need to tell you what i know. I deal on his products.

D same man dat has a private jet is been praised 4 conducting an experiment .

I like such a simple lifestyle. If one did that in Naija, the same people saying our rich cannot do such will be the ones saying "with all his money, he still dey enter train" You can't please people.

We too dey organize our own money here o:

False! If you ride the subway, you will rob shoulders with many many CEOs on a daily bases.....It is the norm rather than the exception because it is easier and faster to dodge the traffic by using the Subway or MTA buses.

Try getting out Manhattan after work via your car to say Queens; the share amount of traffic plus the high toll you have to pay will convince you immediately that taking the train is a wiser decision and better decision...You pay at least about $50.00 (about $20 for toll plus another $30.00 or more to park your car) each day if you drive to work in NYC but a subway round trip might only cost you $4.00....plus you save on time, gas, wear and tear, frustration, etc...

YEAH RIGHT! See how sad looking the two ladies beside him are? They even gave him enough space for two more people.

What's the big deal? Why making lemonade out of lemons? New york is a city with a lot of traffic, so why would one use a car fight through traffic when the subway will just move you promptly? Everybody does it, even wall street guys. Goverment ministers and mps use the london tube. Maybe if this country is able to make this available then more "elites" will use it.

there guy has helicopters and two boeing 747's.. i dont think he was riding the subway to avoid toll or traffic... he could have easily hopped in one of his helicopters..

Lmfao! Yes now because Helicopters and Airplanes are like Okada where you can just hop on anytime you want because you wanno avoid toll & Traffic.

Rotflmao!
