Superstar007: Wow. . I'm motivated. Watch out for me in 2014

damola1:

But that does not change the fact that, your choice of business leaves little to be desired.

emmanuel ewumi:

As earlier said this is my personal opinion, but I respect Seun for his policy. Nigerian youths ought to taught how to crate value and tangible goods. Who are the prime beneficiaries of lottery, betting, gambling ,baba Ijebu etc? The beneficiaries are the entrepreneurs that set up such ventures, and maybe the government.
But with the right value system, orientation, education, hard-work and attitude Nigerian youth an create lasting and enduring wealth. As a personal policy, I do not gamble nor bet. I do not see them as the right route to creating built to last wealth.

emmanuel ewumi:

By that time Nigerians will be the most impoverished people on planet earth. A country where lottery business is the major employer of labour is definitely sitting on a time bomb.

emmanuel ewumi:

It may be Seun's personal policy not to allow the advertisement of certain businesses or products on his site.

akinalabi:

Why? Because I'm a Nigerian? I bet if you meet the Coates family that own bet365, you will applaud them as an entrepreneurial family of repute.



No one says you should see it as the right route to creating built to last wealth.

We do not claim it is the way to wealth for Nigerian youths. You are the one imagining that. It is simply a form of recreation and entertainment.

One person goes to the cinema with N500 to watch a movie. Drops it and enjoys the movie.

The other person takes his N500 to the bookie. Drops it and watches the match he bet on with some tension . And if he is lucky, wins his bet.

Another takes his N500 to drink beer.

It is not an avenue to wealth. It is simply recreation. So all these right value system, orientation, education, hard-work and attitude Nigerian youth an create lasting and enduring wealth should not even come into the discussion at all.



Move out of your inhibitions and comfort zones and try to see what others are seeing.

Do you know Betfair owners Andrew Black and Edward Wray (Ernst and Young Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year award winners) have won the Queen's award for enterprise TWICE? Once for Innovation and the other International trade. Don't you think there is something they know that you do not? Why don't you open your mind more?

I bet if the government dares give us awards like that you will say they are encouraging bad tin.

Everybody that plays lotteries is contributing to the development of the country. FACT!

There is a percentage of your bets that go into what is called Good Causes account of the government. (Apart from company tax). It does not matter if you win or lose your bet, you have contributed to the good causes. The good causes are added into money used for infrastructures.

So when next you see a road been tarred, know that those that placed bets have contributed to it.

There are more and more information I can share with you if you are interested.

emmanuel ewumi:



I still stand to be corrected by the time lottery business become the largest employer in an economy, that economy is sitting on a time bomb.
I guess lottery business is also the largest employer of labour in japan, US, Canada, Germany etc.

Afam4eva: Wey that Akin Alabi boy sef? That guy don chop money sotey im chicks don fat.

Thank You.

baslone:

I quite understand and respect your opinion.

Maybe it works that way on paper.

For me- If I wake up tomorrow morning and close down my business- Over 2000 Nigerians just lost their daily bread.

That alone has an impact on the economy, no matter how little it is.

emmanuel ewumi:


Then about 20,000 Nigerians would have been rescued from the path of financial perdition.

akinalabi:

Looks like you have closed your mind to any logical debate.

You just pulled out statistics from your pocket about 20,000 on the path of financial perdition. Baslone came up with verifiable stats. That's all you could come up with?

Na holier than thou dey make us bring down anything. There is absolutely nothing wrong in having a well run, well regulated lottery industry.

SeaGold:

Sexkillz shot into prominence courtesy of nairaland. He also won one of the most outstanding delectable lady online as his lover. Honestly, that guy is successful online in his own right and here you are ranting over a ban. We are counting successes and you are busy ranting.

akinalabi: This reminds me of a man who refused to rent out his building for us saying he is a deacon in his church. We went across the road to get another. Months after we started, he asked us to help find employment for his son who has not had a job for years.

I told him to get a job for him in his church.

I felt so good.

pDude:

Fvck off a$$hole

Who gives 3 fvcks about Sexkillz online profile and success.

I was ranting about 3 mods and not Sexkillz alone. BTW why are you on his d!c.k?

Mehn go sniff some glue and get off my case.

He won one of the most delectable ladies online . Nigga, you need to kill yourself. It is obvious you are a local Nigerian rat.

SeaGold:


Your foo...lishness is unlimited

You complain of 1,2,3 Mods handing you a ban in sequence and what does that tell you? It shows your conduct online is despicable and not encouraging one bit.

You also complain about sexkillz bitterly out of the 3 Mods you listed and that is where I gave my reprimand.

Why on earth will you post your complaint on an 'assessment' thread of accomplished entrepreneurs/creative people? Is that the complaint section? And I must bring it to your notice that you deserve a BAN again for derailing.

Is that how you all( sophisticated diasporas) display stewpidity online or ''you want to go but you have not gone" but feeling diasporan already?

A Nigeria RAT and a Wanna be Oyibo, who is making lotta sense Pdude?

BTW what is so delectable about Ogugua ? That is why I called you a Nigerian rat

emmanuel ewumi:

He said his lottery business creates jobs for 2000 people, the conservative estimate of the number of lives ruined financially through every job created by lottery can be conservatively put at 10 to 1.

Jarus:
Pdude, I have issue with your newfound tendency to refer to Nigerians at home as "locals" or other disparaging terms, since you left the country for US early this year or last year. Oyb made same similar observation to you in a thread few weeks ago. I wonder what you want Nigerians that have spent all their lives in the US - and they are many on Nairaland - to do/say. To ask for their own section where they wont interact with "local Nigerian rats"?

Jarus: Ogbongeblog is a huge success, but Nairaland didn't contribute much to it. The contribution of Nairaland to Jide's thriving portal is not significant. He made his name elsewhere. That's why I didn't include him.

akinalabi:

Your source of stats please?

So if I hire 10 computer engineers now, I have ruined 100 peoples lives financially.

Of course, you will say before I hired 10 engineers, many people would have lost money. Yes. If one million people lose N50 each. That is 50 million. N50 will not ruin you. The secret is in little money by many people and not big money from few individuals.

If you know any operator, they will tell you they prefer 100 people to bring in N1,000 each than one person bringing in N100,000

Well before I launched NairaBET, every week I enjoyed playing with about N100 to N200 every weekend. I still do today. My life was not ruined. My friends and I, all of us enjoyed it. Our lives were not ruined.

The minimum bet on is N50 and our average bet per customer is less than N100 a month. That is not a sign of financial ruin.

If you are talking about those that went over board by gambling with their life savings, then you are talking about something else. Just like saying that people have died of drunkeness then Champagne companies are bad. Going excessive in anything is bad. You don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

Lottery is noble. Read more about it.

Undabridge:


Uncle Jarus,I have a website I need to register as soon as possible but I don't know how to go about it,pls can you be of help.Tanks

Jarus: thanks. But I'm not into website registration and all that. There should be guys here that can help though. Should contact him.

Jarus: I was interviewed here http://under35ceo.co/2013/12/20/follow-your-passion-in-it-lies-your-success-most-times-interview-with-suraj-oyewale-founder-of-jarushub/

I like it.

Didn't know you spent that much on your Seminar, and it was free

emmanuel ewumi:


He said his lottery business creates jobs for 2000 people, the conservative estimate of the number of lives ruined financially through every job created by lottery can be conservatively put at 10 to 1.

For every 2000 jobs created by lottery businesses more than 20,000 people will be on their path to financial perdition, The people favoured by that business are people that run such businesses and maybe government.
Money made through the gullibility of the uninitiated is not the best, that is why i detest lottery or gambling.
