Nigerian environment lacks security that can guarantee the safety of these so called rich men. Also, the fear of mobbing by the public is another factor and that may not happen in advanced country. Imagine what will happen if Dangote trek along Broad street in Lagos

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
just for the record, to buy ten of dangote, you'll need $112bn according to the last forbes ranking. Even the richest man in the world doesn't have that. Dangote is not as poor as you're making it out.

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.

Exactly and some folks cant even see beyond . . ."oh the white boy is so simple"

Wake up guys, this is some real business sh!t going down. Google had to be creative since they couldnt have adopted either Apple or Samsung's glitz and glam launch style.

obi2012: 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.. grin


Yea right! he will hop on his helicopter or boeing 747 from his office say in SOHO to the Bronx for a meeting, park it in the corner and hop on it again to Tribeca to meet a client for another meeting, before hopping on it finally back to the office or back home.....Lagos is not as dense as NYC, but I do not hear of Mike Adenuga, even if he wants to...hopping on an helicopter from Marina to Ikoyi for a business meeting....It is not just practical.

The most practical thing to do is to either land in the airport or a closer airport-hanger and hit the traffic with your car....while you are doing all that, the guy on the train have reached his/her destination and will be able to fit in a day, more business assignments that requires in person consultations than you.

Another thing is that, some of these guys are "earth friendly" or want to pass themselves out as such in order to meet certain public image or to aid their business enterprise and the less carbon footprint they leave behind in their trails, the better it is for them.

of course its not all of them that do this but you have to admit the white man is more humble than black man

seriously, even when I came to Nigeria and stayed for a long time, some people were mocking, thinking I have been deported and hiding it from the public.

I pity these generation, its like being poor is a crime in Nigeria now

Many of you are concerned about the simplicity. I care more about the project.

When these things were in movies you'd think na just movie things which means we will soon have the non screen projections.

O ga o. The world is developing while some stay here all day claiming to be what they are not. Fake intellectuals.

Of course. ...because you can carry your halipad with you every where you go so you don't have to worry your pretty little rich head about whether those places are equipped with halipads.

And if the halipads are too cumbersome to carry around, you can just tell people to clear their parking lots for you....if they ask why, you simply tell 'em you wanno land your traffic and toll avoiding plane. Oh and that you are rich too.

The Mayor of New York City...Mike Bloomberg...is a billionaire and he uses the subway to get to work at least three rimes a week.
Re: Google Billionaire Seen Riding On New York City Subway by Originalsly: 4:38am On Jan 26, 2013
I think this is a publicity stunt.Mr Google is not a subway guy and would need a guide. On using subway...it is the fastest means of transport within the city during weekdays.Help me understand how because one rich guy gets on the subway for maybe the only time in his life people conclude that White people are humble? Do they know about Donald Trump?...Mr Arrogance?

Re: Google Billionaire Seen Riding On New York City Subway by obi2012: 5:08am On Jan 26, 2013
he is the mayor of new york.. he does it to show the subways are reliable not because he is doing it because he doesnt want to pay tolls.. He is worth $22 billion..
