those people scammed other people, it is called payback, it is called karma

PaulH07:


Waoh that's great. So a white man spoke at length on our own people. They probably know more about our roots than the average African sef...

Fhowe:
you are here complaining about the real victims ,only if you know the way the activities of most multinationals in this country victimize the average Nigerian daily

Some people who spoke with TheCable said Hushpuppi was already rich enough to buy the street and turn it into an estate, but he wouldn’t.

A hotel on the street, at a time, was up for sale and Sikiru Adekoya, his close friend who was also arrested alongside Hushpuppi, was said to have called him to buy the building, but he showed no interest.

“What has all his money amounted to now that we can’t even point to one thing he did in his area?” one of the sources asked.

“The house he was born in was here on Oworo road, and now that place has been bought and turned into a car wash. I remember very well how Ramon, interestingly, used to ask people to bring their cars to the front of that house so he could wash. They paid him about N100 per car then. Just imagine if he even bought that space and turned it to a modern car wash. At least boys on the street would get more jobs from that.”

Yea my man. It's a discussion on examplea of actual capital accumulation as a means of wealth building in Africa. As opposed to pure rent seeking and politics.

Nigeria was used as the case study as it is has the biggest local African owned businesses in USD terms for Black Africa. U know look at the biggest case of something when trying to understand its contours.

It's a good read.

Ladycewhy:
Trying so hard to humanise a scammer. Why not talk about the ordeal of the people he scammed? .


The people he scammed are the real victims here, not a criminal puppy. Let's focus more on the lives of the people who he defrauded .

deavicky:
those his designers wares will still be there for him. The only problem is they might not size him again when he comes back after 20years.

Chris2863:

Who told you, even if he spend 50yrs there, coming out, he will still be richer than your whole generation... It's not a curse but a fact

Eku Tita.

obiekunie2:



Exactly!

maybe the instruction his babalawo gave him is never to help any body and sikiru made him break it.


now he has to suffer the consequences..

I feel u. U dont have to do cover to cover reading. Just particular cases. Ibru Modandola Ibeto Abiola etc. U see how many of them had banks for forex arbitrage to finance their businesses lol. Not the names above but a bunch of em.

ruggedtimi:
This is a perfect story for a Hollywood movie about crime/money.

SAMBARRY:
smh


Accidentally rich people with the mindset of poverty will still become poor because they lack the principles to sustainable wealth that is why the likes of Abiola will become so rich and his family/children will become broke.he was rich,he wasn't sustainably wealthy.so there was no how he could maintain his wealth


Check out people who become unexpectedly rich and aren't givers.they eventually go back to square 1.its an inevitable principle of wealth.

StagethemTVee:
As evident in this article, the problem Nigerians have with corruption and stealing is that the loot has not gotten to them? Many of Hushpuppi's neighbours have no issues with the source of his wealth, they are upset he was not generous with it.

Youngblackbro:
una don start again with all these then say them say dude never washed car for any 100 before the car wash have always been at the front of his house and the mom was struggling fine enough to make sure everyone was okay abeg make una stop all this them say them say talk

NOBODY will ever use that for a movie cos most of them are his benefactors, that's why they are all mute. Was he not spending N11m per night at Cubana? Over N2Om receipt he showed with Mr P, Did you hear their voices? Why is Linda not blogging about his arrest since June 1Oth? Is that not suspicious?

mkoabiola:
Hussh is coming back to nja

ruggedtimi:
Mr p or Linda has nothing to do with Hollywood . Hushpuppi's case is a perfect plot for a crime movie.

Ijawwomaninoyo:


Did you read what I wrote well? A lot of them in nollywood got money from him that's why they are all silent. How can you make a movie about such a person? Who will take the roles?

Jaqenhghar:
