beautyerhu86: $25k? This is peanut compare to over $250k+ that he reap from Microsoft annually and still get to do his internship website. He lacks negotiation skills. He could negotiate with Bill gate that he would in addition to his job be maintaining charitable service in Africa as a way of giving back. I know he is good but so many people in Microsoft are better than him and he had the opportunity to learn how to run a big cooperation. When will he even be richer than Seun? We are talking about knowing how to build billion dollar tech company. Such a bad decision he made! 1 Like |

Mayflowa: Thank you my brother for seeing it the way I see it. He is not working on a special tech start up, a job website can be set up in a jiffy and won't require more than max 3 hours a day of maintenance. He has lost the opportunity to swim with the big fishes and learn more than just another jobbermanish "blog". Such a terrible decision 1 Like |

My favourite moments were watching his reaction after I told him I turned down job offers from Microsoft and the likes to pursue something more defining for me Misleading title. He got offers from microsoft...not that Bill gates himself made him an offer personally. 1 Like |

When you realize that what God has deposited in you is even more than that of 10 Bill Gates. Attah boy! The Lord will see you through your dream for Africa. But please, be very very close to God oooo, because those wicked people in the darkness of Africa doesn't like anyone with your mindset. Shalom! |

A bird in hand is worth one billion in the bush. I am a US trained MBA and I can tell you right away that this boy goofed big time. If he was inventing something that he already got a part payment for, maybe a million dollars upfront, then I will congratulate him on his decisions. Guys, do you know how many business ideas look great one paper, super at presentations and hailed as the next wonder of the world but really did not see the light of day when they are made to compete with existing ones in the their specific industry? So he passed on a great opportunity to build his net worth and network over a business he is running online with a sea of competitors? HR website? recruitment? Does he know how many Indians and Europeans run that stuff online as of today? even here in the US with all IT network Infrastructure, HR online recruitment firms are a dime a dozen. If he wants to recruit workers to come work in the USA, he is dreaming, because this Trump victory is putting the locks of H-1B visa applications on companies. With Nigeria in a recession and almost non existent dollarization of the economy, I can shoot and tell you he made a bad move here. I see this as a KANU/ORUMA lessons learnt all over again KANU and ORUMA went to RC Lens F.C. of France and Ajax F.C. of Holland for trials, after they both won the Japan'93 U-17 world cup. Kanu returned to Iwuanyanwu Nationale to keep playing but Oruma did not want to return to Bendel Insurance.(*****HASTY DECISION******) He took the bait from Lens and signed a slave contract all in his bid to bear the name PRO... and collect a few thousand dollars. One month later, Ajax requested for both players, and Kanu signed a better contract with Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu praying for the boy for blessing his club. The rest is history. Under 18 months, Kanu as a regular player has won Dutch League Shield, Dutch FA Cup, European Champions League Cup, FIFA world club cup...as a regular player for Ajax Amsterdam, while Oruma was struggling in RC Lens Team B. LESSON OF LIFE - NEVER SHUT THE DOORS TO OPPORTUNITY AND ALWAYS WEIGH YOUR OPTIONS... telling Bill Gates flat out NO, was the most stupid decision made by any African living in Africa..... I dont care if your papa na IBB. WHY not tell Bill Gates to wait for a year so you can close some commitments and then join Microsoft once you finish up? That way you will have enough time to evaluate things and see where your pet project will go? and also have his complimentary card and keep communicating with him? THAT WAY, IF THE NEW COMPANY FAILS, YOU STILL STAND A CHANCE TO WORK FOR MICROSOFT, BUT IF IT SUCCEEDS, YOU CAN TELL BILL GATES, THANKS.. BUT I AM DOING GREAT NOW, I DONT THINK I CAN TAKE YOUR JOB.. HE WILL RESPECT YOU FOR THAT... IF THIS STORY IS TRUE, EVERYONE LEARN FROM IT. Going back to work, I work for JP Morgan Chase... have a good day Mr. ENTREPRENEUR! 4 Likes |

It is more rewarding to be a big man in a small place than to be a small man in a big place. You can be fired anytime you know, but who is going to fire you in your own business? |

ogbonti: Thank you my friend. I have dissed the little boy since over that decision. You wanna do business where there are no infratural support and no venture capitalist over stupid HR website a 6 yrs can do. I have since high school students in tech marathons in Silicon valleys do wonder in 48 hrs from scratch. Does he even think he merited Microsoft job. Bill Gate just wanted to help and develop him. Small boy! Smh |
