slimyem: The article was not this detailed when i posted that comment.Those important parts weren't included then.

shymexx:

And how do you know he isn't doing that atm The guy is a ghost and I doubt he likes publicity...

He might be the richest Nigerian and probably far richer than Dangote... However, he's a quiet guy who doesn't like the limelight and publicity that comes with riches...

booqee: I don't like this! U say when he enters a restaurant to eat, pple must leave, cos he can't eat with commoners! And dear iyaniwura you call dat classy?! Sweet Jesus! ..despite his wealth, he has done nothing philanthropic in his country nigeria.
Something tells me he may be richer dan dangote..and dat same something tell me his source of wealth is unclean, like ritual or something. He's too shadowed for my liking!

sanandreas: all is vanity if he does'nt have jesus in his life.

slimyem: If you tell me your name is Kunle,I(emphasis on that) naturally would ask for the full meaning.
"Kunle" means "Full house".
Does that make sense to you?but is "Ola" or "Ade" is prefixed to it,it'll mean "Weath has filled the house" or "Crown had filled the house" which gives real meaning.
"Dehinde" makes no sense if we don't know what has "dehinde".
It could be "Ola" or "Iku" or "Ifa"

Gerrit?

slimyem: I didn't enjoy this.Too little information on him to digest and enjoy.
Why does he have a spanish name?
Who are his parents?
Where was he born and bred?
Does he think himself a Nigerian?
Marriage?
Children?

django1:

So, this all is you want to say, that you had to insult me over? Ode ni e oo.

So, because you don't know what 'deinde' that means the word 'dehinde' doest not have meaning? Boy, you are slow!!!

It is you that needs to get your facts right before you spew your trash!

django1: ^^^ ode ni e

patholaw: @Op u 4got to add he attended d prestigious ST. GREGORY'S COLLEGE IKOYI...

All dis kain talk dey make me vex. Na dis kain talk make me behead one goat for Jalingo sometime ago. The point of the thread is not to celebrate someone that contributed to Nigeria's development, or to celebrate skin-deep 'philanthropy'. The point of the thread is to recognise and celebrate someone that made it on his own - one way or the other; to inspire budding hustlers, entrepreneurs, and 'carpetbaggers'. To let you know that it is possible to become successful on our own terms, in your own way, and by your own stratagems. #datsall.

If you're so concerned about Nigeria's development, why not make a few billion dollars on your own, and then commit your entire net worth to developmental causes? Or, realistically speaking, why not spend most of your current modest earnings on enhancing the standard of living of the numerous poor people that you encounter daily? If you care so much about 'charitableness', then it must start with the (wo)man in the mirror, not the wealthy guy you read/hear about.

miftpulse: @iyaniwura, excellent write up about a great diplomat. It's time we celebrate wit and excellence without sentiment. Colour, creed or belief does not come play when you talk about achievers

Did u bother to read the article? His connection with the ogboni cult was stated there.

This is a skewed and an ill-informed write up. An iconoclastic attempt to surreptitiously demonize an Oduduan icon. Iyaniwura is at best an iconoclast disguised under a pro-Yoruba profile name who specialize in presenting Yoruba themes and subject in a parochialy mutilated form. Why must you deliberately misinterprete 'Olori Oluwo' as Head of the Occult!? when infact it means Head Chief Priests. Are the damages Bishop Ajayi Crowder did to the Oduduan language not enough?

[Some food for thoughts]
'Olori' in another context also means ruler or master while 'Oga' specifically means master e.g. Oga mi, it is important to note that Oluwa means Lord not God e.g. Oluwa mi = my lord, Olu Orun aka Olorun is Lord of the Sky, a deity among the Yoruba pantheon of Orishas ans Irunmoles, so millions who think they're praying to the Yoruba equivalent of the God of the Jews popularly called Yahweh/Jeovah which we don't have and ofcourse isn't the same with Olodumare are unknowingly praying to the deity of the Skies.


Do you really think the fore-fathers of Bill Gates, Rockerfeller, Howard Hughes who deceived yours with Christianity actually believed in that fictional mortal? Even the Ashkenazis who are purported to be the wealthiest in the world don't believe in Jesus Christ.

harmless:

Who are you? Why do you say Jesus is a fictional mortal?

ghostofsparta:

I am an A'theist who do not accept as true, stories from a book of a monotheistic Bronze-age religion, appended from various cultures by some jobless Greeks, repackaged, instituted and disseminated by the Romans, revised and edited numerous times by the English. Well, this said book claimed to contain the word of another human invention called God is argued by some to serve as the only source of moral authority where as there are also moral lesson learnable from the works of George Orwell and J.K Rowlings. A Book wherein certain dictum where employed by Euro-arab slave masters as justifications to physically and mentally-enslave our fore-fathers, a fact which still remain as a source of our retrogression. A book that threatens hell for failing to accept it as true.

Jesus is a fictional character because the only evidence of his existence is in the Book referred to above. Just like the evidence of Peter Parker's existing can only be found in comics. Even his tribe still denies in some context, historian and theologians till date agrees that little of evidence suggest the probability of Jesus existing. But I may also be tempted to think probably someone existed from Africa with esoteric knowledge dazzled the Falashas and years later his storied was blown up and remixed with some element of Judaism and behold a legend was told of a magician born in a Manger.
