MrMaestro:
Wonderful development. When people say Yorubas aren’t in a class of their own when it comes to business, continue to show them people like this guy. There are even more other tribes from Nigeria in America, yet a Yoruba is the wealthiest Nigerian immigrant. Soon he will pass every other black american. Only entertainers and Robert Smith are ahead of him. If this company goes public he might pass Dangote. Thank God almighty that the Yorubas are blessed.


When it's success, we identify by tribe.

When it's failure, we identify by tribe

Why can we identify as a nation for both good and bad

You don't have sense walahi where is the attachee for God's sake. Igbos have been running things in the US for a long time.

Running from things, not running things. No Igbo person is as wealthy as that guy. At least, no Igbo person has ever been assessed by Forbes to be worth 1 billion dollars.
Bleep off, useless gumbody.

Within another half a year he would be richer than Kanye West whose net worth is $1.8b now


You are correct. He’s currently rated $1.4bn now by Forbes so in some few years like you said he will overtake Kanye.

If you know how rich some yorubas in the UK are you will be scared, I mean legit money respected by white people not druggie. Google the yoruba man that own 2 airports in the UK. But the young yoruba generation are becoming mouthy maybe they learning from the igbos

Stop saying nonsense. Software are paid for by companies who buy the right to use it and plug their employees on it. They have 10million people using it and those can be grouped under their respective companies. For example Lyft is one of their customers, that mean that all lyft employees using the Calendly software are part of the 10million people.

Micorosft Azure and AWS for example has subscription fees that corporations pay but their employees are plugged into it to use it and even most times their customer base itself from the front end. Grow sense and learn.

You see why I said you no too get sense? Companies continue to attract investment even sometimes big corporation which was why Elon Musk just bought more shares to be the biggest shareholder in Twitter. Since this is not a 2by2 shop, I can understand your brainpower can't comprehend.

Lastly, it is not by cash flow alone, are you the owner of the cash itself? If moving money as a bank is easy money for banks like that why are the banks not the richest corporations in the world? Shinedu think nao.

Shiorr

Na like so d parents of dat chess boy take lie say na Boko Haram chase dem come US wen even d chibok families wey Boko haram carry dem daughter sef still dey for Nigeria.


Try educate yourself and read more about wealthy black Americans that grew up from the slump. Some grew up in Compton, some on the Southside of Chicago and others Bronx NY. If you read their own articles you would see the same description( Vibrant but dangerous aka ghetto) but it sounds like there's something deeper going on here with you. Rather than celebrate a Nigerian making it big, you would rather focus on the negatives......SHAME!

I don’t know about the website you post coz it’s talking about their assets and that could be confusing when trying to relate it with market value.

Below is a link that shows their current market capitalization on the Nigeria stock exchange.

You can see the market cap of Zenith bank is the highest and that’s at 714 billion makes. That’s not up to $3billion for Calendly.

I hope you understand me.

Why was the guy trash talking nigeria saying lagos is dangerous and all of that? Unless half his brains had been eaten by dogs with that statement he made he should've realized his negative portrayal of our country could lead to a negative perception from outsiders and may drive away investors

That was the opinion of the writer. It wasn’t a direct quote from him. He was only quoted where he said he wanted to redeem his father.
