“Since the mid-80s, my private investments have generated thousands of jobs for Nigeria – currently standing +50,000 jobs #LetsTalkJobs”

Olajide Abiola's response:

"SO MUCH FOR 50,000 JOBS

Dangote is the largest conglomerate in West Africa and one of the largest on the African continent with over 18 subsidiaries and presence in over 10 countries. Has revenue in excess of $4.1bn. The conglomerate has just a little over 30,000 employees.

First Bank is the biggest bank in Nigeria by total deposits and gross earnings. Operating a network of over 750 business locations across Africa, the United Kingdom and representative offices in Abu Dhabi, Beijing and Johannesburg set up to capture trade-related business between geographies. It has a total employee of about 8,000+

The Lagos State public sector is the largest employer of labour amongst the states in Nigeria. Nigeria's largest state economy and the 5th largest economy on the African continent. The state's public sector has a little over 100,000 in its employment.
Facebook and it's Instagram and WhatsApp subsidiaries, with presence and field offices in many locations outside USA and an revenue of over $40bn (2017) has a little over 30,000 employees.

The Al-Futtaim group. One of the largest conglomerate in the Middle-East and perhaps the 2nd or 3rd largest in the UAE with billions of dollars in revenue has about 42,000 employees across the UAE, Middle East and the World.

The Koch industry is the second largest privately held company in the United States and the world. If it was a listed company, it would be the 17th largest in the world. The multinational employs 120,000 people in 60 COUNTRIES, with about half of its business in the United States.

How does Atiku's companies employ about 50,000 people? Where? How? Which of the companies? How many staff does ABTI have? How many does his water company have?
INTEL, his biggest company by way of revenue cannot boast of 2,000 staff. I doubt Atiku's companies combined employs up to 10,000. The numbers do not add up at all. It is either he pays below minimum wage, doesn't pay at all or must have a high number of staff redundancy. Do you even know the PAYEE taxes he'd have to remit to state governments on those 50,000? Per month?

If Dangote, the largest conglomerate in the whole of West Africa, and one of the largest in the world, with numerous heavy industries to boast of employs only about 30,000, which of ATIKU'S businesses are that big?

Me: Atiku can only Atikulate the lives and brains of wailers. We knew that with time, more lies would be revealed and as we're aware, the trends are dropping faster than we had expected.

Atiku must have entered Igbo one chance, now it's Kanu and Biafra , no one is making noise about atikulation. How he wished he can reverse his VP slot decision.

INTEL, his biggest company by way of revenue cannot boast of 2,000 staff

Op, you don't know the number of people that work in Intels at Onne. He employed more than that self.

I don't care all I want is to kick Buhari out 2019

Even if we have to vote for Sowere fine far far better than Buhari

Buhari is completely lifeless

Only APC Zombies can't see this

Did Buhari lie about taking a loan to buy his Presidential nomination form?

Even if it's just 5 people that is in Atiku's workforce, it's still better than Oga Buhari that has only 1 nomadic man tendering to his 150 gay cows.

Besides how many people did Prof. Osinbajo employ?

We need Debates!!

Buhari Vs Atiku Vs Donald Duke Vs Gbor ( )

Prof Osinbajo vs Mr. Peter Obi Vs.. the rest..

How many people did Buhari employ

50 cattle herders?

lonelydora:
No. He employed more than that.

Op, you don't know the number of people that work in Intels at Onne.

How many people, say it since you know...

Dangote has 30k employees, Banks with hundreds of branches can't boast of 50k but we are to believe Atiku has more? Really.?!

okay

People heads are turning because he employed '50k people's for someone wanting to become a president that is rubbish. I say turn Nigeria back to military rule, Democracy is a joke!

May be #Atiku meant #5000 employees.

Atiku is a Scam. His loudest noise has been 50,000 jobs even that one too is a Scam. He robbed Nigeria to enrich himself and open private businesses with his loot which he got by rendering millions jobless when he and OBJ caused the collapse of 23 of Nigeria's assets so they can sell them off dubiously.

He now turns around and says he employed 50,000 Nigerians while being quiet about the millions he rendered jobless under OBJ.

Atiku the fraud.

It’s relatively true.

The causative effect of intels alone led to the birth of other companies that feed off intels.

Also do consider that certain forms of employment include temporary employment opportunities.

Me wey dey hustle for street, in the cause of certain projects I’ve employed over 100 persons at different times or temporary basis, talk more of Atiku.

The ripple effect of one of his projects could involve several teams who will adopt and employ idle hands both on a long term and short term basis.

Note, he did not say

I have employed 50000 persons.

He said

His projects have generated over 50k jobs.

If you even know Spyder88 on Nairaland’s housing section, he has employed thousands of hands on various building projects.

That’s the ripple effect of simple decisions.

Partially true

Earthquake1:
How many people did Buhari employ?

Good question

Look at his companies and you would know he's capable of employing more

How many people did your master buhari employ on his own personal capacity?.Even as a president,he did not employ anyone...

He can be called upon for proofs and clarification, But remember employement could be directly or indirectly.
Eh, Dangote employs more than 50,000 in Nigeria directly and indirectly

Contact us for all Your roofing Jobs, water collector systems ,insulated roofing sheets and panels ,roof maintenance services etc

Even if he has just 2000 or 10000 there are ripple effects of those he has given jobs which gives others jobs. The question u shud be asking is how many has buhari personally created??

The besides fighting corruption which he hasn’t fought what does he really have to offer?

Before we can argue, you have to list all his companies and then we can access their workforce, else this is just envy and jealousy.

The person who is checking how many people Atiku employs, how many does he employ?

All those companies you are using to compare, are they not people like you that own it?

If they were online check who can employ what numbers they would not have made it.

Go and start your own and count your employees and not others.

Good Day , employee counter.
